Xie Xinxin, who was sitting next to her for a long time, was confused after listening to it. She couldn't help but stand up and stare at Cao Mo and asked,
"For a long time, you talked about C2 reserves, Ibogu mining, Akwa, Drake, capital injection, military government, and democratic elections. I was confused, but in the end you meant that my father was a gangster.
I have been working for you for half my life as a vice president, and I have to spend my own money to buy shares, and the shares are only 1%?"
"Yes, you were not confused, that's what I meant." Cao Mo nodded and said while holding a cigar.
"Let's not talk about how much it costs. My dad has been working for half his life, and when he comes to help others, is it worth such a small share?"
I’m probably worth over 100 million, so if I just invest between 1,000 and 8 million in a company, the major shareholder won’t be able to do it, but the second shareholders will always be qualified.”
"In my company, even if the management takes a thousand or eight million, they can only exchange for one thousandth of the shares, which is still far from the second shareholder," Cao Mo said with a smile, "And my company has
Everything else is different. Your dad must first buy the shares, hand in the investment certificate, and join the pirate ship before he can be the vice president and help the company develop together. He cannot wait for two or three years after joining the company and the company develops, and then use the agreed terms.
Buy this part of the stock at the price..."
"..."
Xie Xinxin didn't get into a good college because she wasted or wasted too much time and energy on her music dream. It's not that she was stupid.
She suddenly realized that Cao Mo and the others had just read a number that was beyond her imagination. Shan Shan's lips parted slightly, and she didn't know what to say for a moment.
Cao Mo smiled, looked at Xie Sipeng, and said: "I can only give you this condition now. I invite you to join Ibogu Mining, and the equity will be locked for three years and cannot be transferred... I will not return to Africa until New Year's Day. What are you doing these days?"
God, think about it."
It is impossible for Xie Sipeng to say that he is not disappointed.
He has always been very familiar with Yang Deshan. Although he does not know the specific equity relationship and financial structure of Yibogu Mining after its reorganization, he knows that Yang Deshan currently holds 2% of the shares of Yibogu Mining.
More than a year ago, he and Xu Sheng withdrew nearly US$3 million from the Qionai Gold Mine. Yang Deshan folded the shares and part of the cash remaining in the Qionai Gold Mine into the Felician Family Gold Mining Company at the time;
Later, after reorganizing Yibogu Mining, Yang Deshan added some additional cash investment.
However, the shares and cash that Yang Deshan invested in Yibogu Mining one after another will definitely not exceed US$4 million.
This is almost all of Yang Deshan’s fortune in the past few years in Africa.
However, the current valuation of the shares held by Yang Deshan has reached 40 million U.S. dollars based on Cao Mo's financing quotation for Qian Wenhan; based on Cao Mo's stock sale quotation for him on the condition of joining, the valuation is also as high as
Twenty million dollars.
In the first half of the year, when Cao Mo was in urgent need of funds and needed to make initial investment and construction of the Wusang River copper-gold mine project, Yang Deshan could theoretically inject an additional US$4.5 million and keep his 3% shareholding unchanged.
However, Yang Deshan did not have that much cash at that time, so he went to him specifically and said that he could persuade Cao Mo to agree to transfer part of the capital injection and stock exchange rights in his name to him at an appropriate price.
Xie Sipeng really wanted to get 1% of Yibogu Mining's shares at that time. Cao Mo probably wouldn't have stopped him, and he definitely didn't need five million U.S. dollars, or even four million U.S. dollars.
At that time, the prospects of the Wusang River copper-gold mine project had not been completely clear, and the international gold price was fluctuating around US$600 per ounce. Yibogu Mining could only maintain a very small profit, so Xie Sipeng hesitated.
It can be said that I got on the bus a little later, and the difference is huge.
Is it through that capital injection that Shen Ji officially took away 3% or 4% of the shares of Yibogu Mining?
But can he refuse now?
Now that tens of millions of dollars have been exchanged for 1% of the shares of Ibogu Mining and the position of vice president, there are of course risks.
It is not impossible for international gold and copper metal futures prices to turn around and fall again. The political and economic situation in Akwa is far less stable than domestically. Cao Mo may lose control of the Wusang River copper and gold mine, but those are things for later.
There is no business without risks. Xie Sipeng, as one of the earliest independent Chinese businessmen in West Africa, dared to go to Kanem and then to Akwa, so he would not particularly care about these things.
The dilemma or confusion that Xie Sipeng faced before was not that he was short of money. It was actually the previous model of shooting for a new place and not feeling much sense of career accomplishment.
This was something he would have scorned in the past, but recently it has become more and more profound to him.
He could even imagine what specific tasks Cao Mo would entrust him to do when he was invited to join Yibogu Mining.
Cao Mo needs someone to represent Ibogu Mining and deal with high-level government authorities in Akwa, Kanem, Benin and other countries.
From Cao Mo's exchange with Qian Wenhan, he could also judge that the scale of the Wusang River copper-gold mine was beyond imagination. In addition to the mine itself, the subsequent construction of supporting industry, transportation, employee housing and other facilities will be large-scale. Surprisingly, the coordination work with the Akwa authorities, the Drake Regional Government and the Northwestern State Government will also be extremely complicated and will require dedicated personnel.
This is also what Xie Sipeng is good at.
And as long as the future development scale of Ibogu Mining is large enough, the status and identity of this vice president will definitely not be comparable to that of a businessman with a net worth of just over 100 million.
Although Qian Wenhan did not agree outright, from his look and tone, he undoubtedly recognized the US$1.5 billion valuation given by Cao Mo for the Wusang River copper-gold mine project.
Yibogu Mining currently fully holds the Wusang River copper-gold mine project, and additionally holds multiple gold mining areas that are already under construction and operation, such as the Yibogu Gold Mine, the Oguta Gold Mine, and the Emerald Mountain Gold Mine, plus a complex. Invest more than two
According to the standards recognized by Qian Wenhan, the total valuation of a multi-million dollar gold refinery is definitely over two billion US dollars.
In other words, Cao Mo invited him to join Yibogu Mining and directly gave him an equity premium of US$10 million.
As for how far Ibogu Mining can develop in the end and how much it is worth, it will require his joint efforts after joining.
It is also possible that they will end up with nothing, or they may create a new gold industry in Africa.
No, the potential value of Ibogu Mining is higher than that of Xinhai Gold.
Xinhai Gold currently has a market value of 80 billion. Although its mineable gold reserves are as high as 30 million ounces, its copper reserves are very small. According to external information, they have not reached 3 million metal tons.
"How much do you estimate there are underground copper reserves in the Wusang River?" Xie Sipeng asked.
Cao Mo stretched out his index finger.
"Directly entering the top twenty in the world?" Xie Sipeng thought carefully about the reserves of the Wusang River underground copper and gold mine, but he did not expect it to be this amount.
Copper and gold mines are often associated with each other. Xie Sipeng is still familiar with the world's most famous copper mines. Currently, the top three copper mines in the world are located in Chile, with reserves of about 20 million tons of metal.
The Wusang River underground is associated with copper and gold, and some public testing data also shows that the gold content is quite high. In other words, in terms of a single deposit, the value of the Wusang River copper and gold mine may be among the top ten or even the top five in the world.
It deserves to be a treasure trove of energy that continuously unearths wealth.
"Uncle Qian..."
When Xie Sipeng was shocked, a young man about thirty years old in a suit and leather shoes walked in and greeted Qian Wenhan respectfully.
"I was at the Tianshan Road store in the evening, and I just heard that the manager of the Jinxi store had offended Uncle Qian, your friend. I asked him to come over and apologize to Uncle Qian, your friend."
"There's no need to apologize. Just ask him to go back. It's nothing important..." Cao Mo glanced at the manager of Anlan Bar Jinxi Road, who was standing at the door of the bar and looking anxiously in this direction.
He waved his hand.
He was too lazy to care about such trivial matters, and he didn't want to show off his power in public. At this time, he just invited the young man to sit down and drink.
Qian Wenhan looked back and said to the young man: "Let him go back first. Since Tianlan Bar wants to build a music bar culture in China, the culture of watching people order dishes cannot help the growth. In the end, it will become a mess. How can it be in China?"
How long can Xinhai stand on its feet and expect a few flamboyant customers looking for freshness to sustain it? We use money to support your business, and we don’t expect any high returns in the short term. Otherwise, there are a lot of investment opportunities that are better than the bar industry. Zhou
This is Mr. Shen from Dongsheng Overseas Department. This is Mr. Xie who has been working in Africa for many years. This is Manager Xiao. This is..."
When Cao Mo was introduced, Qian Wenhan felt it was a bit difficult to describe, so he said, "This is Mr. Cao. It will definitely be helpful to your future career..."
The young man was very honest in front of Qian Wenhan. He took out his business card and handed it out to everyone one by one.
The title of Cao Mo Gu He's business card was printed with the simple words "Tianlan Culture CEO", and he deliberately erased the traces of a bar operator. He probably intended to rely on the new trendy cultural industry or new consumer industry, but he was more concerned about
Or does Gu He attach great importance to Qian Wenhan's "accusation" in his heart?
Cao Mo's cultural understanding and familiarity with bars is obviously far inferior to that of Shen Ji, who has studied in the UK for many years.
In this regard, even Xie Anchen should have more in common with Gu He, but the scene that just happened at the Jinxi Road branch of Tianlan Bar was caused by Gu He's lack of control in the business due to his lack of initial entrepreneurial experience.
He can still tell whether there is a deviation or a desire to compromise and move closer to the current domestic bar business model.
Judging from the current situation, Gu He was still somewhat indifferent to Qian Wenhan's "accusation" in his heart, but Cao Mo just smiled.
Sitting and listening to Gu He talk about his understanding of bar culture and his experience in running a chain bar for more than two years, Cao Mo took out his mobile phone and checked the time, and said to Qian Wenhan, Zhou Shenhe and Xie Sipeng:
"It's getting late. I have to go back to bed. It's New Year's Day in a few days. Let's find time to get together again..."
The decision-making process of Xinhai Gold Industry was complicated but that was all. Qian Wenhan and Xie Sipeng both knew that Cao Mo wanted to know their decision before New Year's Day.
…………
…………
Qian Wenhan, Zhou Shenhe, and Cao Mo all had drivers parked nearby. They waited for the driver to drive over before walking out of the bar.
Shen Ji's family lives nearby, and it's faster to walk back through the small alley. Xiao Jun has been away from the country for nearly two years, and this time he returned to the country for a short vacation. He has more entertainment than Cao Mo, and he has to rush to an event later. , just take a taxi and go alone.
Until Cao Mo left the bar, Xie Xinxin was still a little confused. She saw two strong brown-skinned women who looked like they were from a South American country walking out of the corner. They followed Cao Mo out and asked with some doubts. Her dad: "Those two foreign women are his bodyguards?"
When she went to Tianlan Bar before, Xie Xinxin also took a Chevrolet. At that time, she thought it was a stage show when her father returned to China and hired a car specially for the driver. Now it seems that Cao Mo not only has his own full-time driver, but also two personal bodyguards. The bodyguards were following around, but they were sitting very low-key in the corner. Even she had just noticed.
Qian Wenhan did not directly introduce Cao Mo's identity. Gu He was a little dissatisfied with Cao Mo's cold attitude but could not figure out where he came from. At this time, he just greeted Xie Sipeng politely:
“Mr.
Of course, Xie Sipeng doesn't like his daughter spending all day hanging out in a bar, a place where all three kinds of education and teachings are mixed, but since Qian Wenhan is the main investor of Tianlan Culture, with this relationship as a buffer, Xie Sipeng doesn't want to have a falling out with his daughter, so he I refrained from saying that I wanted my daughter to break away from Tianlan Bar.
The relationship between Qian Wenhan and Qian Wenhan only exists.
As long as his daughter doesn't take the wrong path, no one in Tianlan will have any wrong thoughts.
Of course, Xie Sipeng would not support his daughter singing in a bar. He said with a smile: "Xinxin is still a child. She may turn her mind to other places. I hope Mr. Gu will forgive me then."
"What is Mr. Xie mainly doing in Africa? I heard from my dad that Uncle Qian seems to be interested in investment in Africa recently!"
Gu He still wanted to get close to Xie Sipeng, who seemed to be more friendly.
Xie Sipeng guessed that Gu He's family background was definitely not bad, but the initial capital for starting a business still had to be raised from Qian Wenhan and others. His family situation would not be too good, and it was likely that he was similar to him. By some chance, he was related to Qian Wenhan. Close relationship, with this personal connection, it will naturally be easy to attract Qian Wenhan's investment.
"I mainly do mining and gold mining in Africa. I used to do this mainly in China. I have known Lao Qian for some years..." Xie Sipeng looked at his watch. Although it was still early, Cao Mo's invitation was completely disruptive. He needed to sort out many things in his plan, and he didn't have time to chat with Gu He here, so he said vaguely, "I'll invite Mr. Gu to have dinner with me when I have time."
Xie Sipeng used to think about sorting out his various businesses in Africa and forming a long-term business.
In this case, in order to overcome his wife's obstruction, he thought of sending An Chen to Dongsheng Overseas Department, and through a curve to save the country, let An Chen gradually take over African affairs, so that he could eventually take over his career.
Now that Cao Mo has invited him to join Yibogu Mining, his various affairs must be sorted out one by one instead of sorted out. In particular, the matters that directly involve his personal energy must be given up.
Then there is no need for An Chen to go to Africa. It would be better to stay in China and try to start a business, or join a financial institution to learn investment, and it would also reduce the conflicts between him and his wife.
Even if An Chen went to Dongsheng, it was not to learn how to get in touch with African affairs, but to see what domestic businesses would have better development prospects.
Another thing is how to deal with his relationship with Zhang Min.
He does things on his own, and it doesn't matter that Zhang Min has always been by his side. But now he definitely can't go into Yibogu Mining with him, but after ten years of getting along with him, it's impossible for him to ignore someone even if he lifts his belt.
Some things really give me a headache.
…………
…………
Xie Sipeng didn't really wait until after New Year's Day, or after Qian Wenhan made the decision to invest in the Wusang River copper-gold mine project, before going to see Cao Mo.
He knew that he had not been able to seize the opportunity in the past few years. The main reason was that he wanted to take advantage of it, wanted to see the situation thoroughly before making a bet, and thought that he could catch everything in his own hands, but this also made him miss it.
Too many opportunities to get on board.
He could wait for Qian Wenhan to make a decision first, that way he would be more confident, but would Cao Mo feel that he was still too naughty?
Xie Sipeng has thought about people's hearts over the years, and he can still understand these subtle truths.
So he rushed into the Tianyue Investment headquarters on the bank of Zhiyun Lake on New Year's Day and asked Cao Mo to sign the equity transfer agreement first.
In order to gradually expand the scale of domestic capital and to facilitate future domestic financing and borrowing of construction funds, Cao Mo is gradually transferring his personal equity to Tianyue Investment.
Cao Mo personally holds a total of 70% of the shares of Yibogu Mining. Considering that he will inject capital to expand the shares in the future, he does not want his shareholding in Yibogu Mining to be diluted too much in the future. Now personal transfers of shares are not as large as before.
Closed.
This time, whether Xie Sipeng has more or less funds, Cao Mo can only transfer 1% of the shares to him.
Cao Mo invited Xie Sipeng to join Yibogu Mining. At present, he mainly hopes that he will coordinate the relationship with the Akwa authorities. At the same time, when the funds from Qian Wenhan and Xinhai Gold come in, the construction of the Wusang River copper-gold mine project itself will be completed.
Kabuga is in charge, but the construction of a large number of supporting projects requires Xie Sipeng to preside over it.
Xiao Jun still lacked some experience and qualifications, so Cao Mo arranged for Xiao Jun to take on some of Xie Sipeng's assistant jobs.
Of course, as a condition, Xie Sipeng's investments in Africa need to be thoroughly cleaned up. For example, the placer gold fields in the Mamba area must be withdrawn, and gold shops and secret gold and foreign exchange transactions need to be stopped.
As for those investments that Zhengerbajing has invested in, it is Xie Sipeng's personal decision to withdraw or hold them, and it is impossible for Cao Mo to interfere with other people's normal financial investments.
"I talked to Xu Sheng on the phone. He was willing to take over my business in Mangba, including the placer gold field and gold store, and bring back some funds to buy a house for An Chen and Xin Xin, so that I would not have any money.
I don’t have to worry about anything anymore; I’ll leave the affairs of Hua Mall to Zhang Min, and the shares are going to be transferred to her name...” Xie Sipeng said, “In my personal name, I only have a few shares in the Conero Lake Industrial Park.
.”
"Look at you like this, like you're going through fire and water with us, do you want me to give you some tragic music?"
Cao Mo teased Xie Sipeng, remembered something, and said to him,
"By the way, speaking of China Mall, Stari previously invested in an e-commerce network, mainly exploring the West African market. Brahm is running around to raise financing for this e-commerce network. However, the Internet construction in West Africa is lagging behind, and e-commerce is lagging behind.
The development environment is much worse than that in China. The entire business environment may not be as good as that in China in the 1980s and 1990s. It is difficult to see good prospects for developing an e-commerce network alone in a short period of time. Brahm is thinking of raising funds and then establishing a compatible entity.
development route. This e-commerce website currently mainly sells domestic small commodities and daily necessities to West Africa. This is very suitable for China Mall. Your shares in China Mall can be converted into cash. The cost will be recovered first, and then
Fold the remaining shares into this e-commerce network and give it a try to achieve better development in the future.”
"This arrangement is perfect. The construction specifications of Hua Shang Mall are very low. Without new capital injection, it will be difficult to develop..." Xie Sipeng said.
