Chapter three hundred and forty fourth

None of them deliberately used Nitz Oppenheimer and Ensanger and his son to deliver the news. Cao Mo and Qian Wenhan negotiated the matter on the speedboat. Yang Deshan arranged for people to adjust the existing planning plan while directly contacting Long.

The chairman of the Tajikistan Municipal Committee and officials in charge of economic construction contacted to discuss matters such as land acquisition, road and water and electricity construction.

The news that Tianyue International and Sun Hung Investment intends to build a larger Lake Bay Industrial City based on the Conero Lake Industrial Park spread like wildfire.

Of course, Xie Sipeng, Yang Deshan and others made some adjustments to the whole plan after they knew for sure Cao Mo's intention to lure thieves into the urn.

The Lake Bay Industrial New City envisioned by Cao Mo is located in the northwest of Conero Lake, close to the Atlantic coast. After adjustments by Xie Sipeng and Yang Deshan, the planned address of the Lake Bay Industrial New City was moved to the east coast of Conero Lake. It looks like it is relying on

Conero Lake Industrial Park and Taihua Industrial Park will be constructed and the two parks will be thoroughly integrated.

The Port of Conero Lake is classified as an affiliated port of the Port of Draculamo, but the entire Taihua Industrial Park, including the new Taihua Refinery, is still affiliated with Lonta and is under the direct jurisdiction of the Lonta Municipal Council.

If the Lu family and Han Shaorong do not want the Taihua Industrial Park to be integrated into the Lake Bay Industrial New City and take advantage of this situation, they will have more motivation to fight for the Taihua Industrial Park to be separated from Longta and start a new project on the south bank that is completely dominated by them.

New Town.

In addition to these, Yang Deshan and Xie Sipeng also have their own tricks in terms of imposing momentum.

Yang Deshan and Xie Sipeng were both treacherous and cunning, so Cao Mo naturally followed the good example and left the whole matter to them. He and Qian Wenhan could just cooperate.

Under Zhou Shenhe's instructions, the general manager of Xinhai Gold's Akwa branch also quickly rushed to Kanem. With the help of Xie Sipeng, he discussed with the Kenero Lake Industrial Park and the Lonta Municipal Committee to prepare for the annual production of two tons.

Details of the 100,000-ton anode copper joint venture plant.

Framework and intention-based agreements are not legally binding. Xinhai Gold can sometimes sign several domestic agreements in order to meet the local government's investment promotion needs, without requiring authorization from the board of directors.

Although Cao Mo used deception to create a cake with the intention of irritating the Lu family and Han Shaorong, when the relevant news spread, it was like a huge stone dropped into a hot oil pan.

In just a few days, not only the Lonta region, but also the Oyo State government and the state assembly responded enthusiastically, and the Kanem federal government also believed it to be true. After hearing the news, Kanem Economic Minister Imamuba made a special trip to

We rushed to the Conero Lake Industrial Park to inspect and learn about the planning and vision of the Lake Bay Industrial New City.

If Cao Mo hadn't communicated with him privately, Blake, Ochosan, and others who accompanied Imamuba on the inspection would have believed it to be true.

We can't blame people's hearts for wandering.

The Kanem federal government, whose central finance is almost entirely dependent on crude oil exports, has benefited from the rapid rise in international crude oil prices in the past two years, and its fiscal revenue has increased rapidly, doubling in four years.

As the saying goes, one knows honor and disgrace when one has enough food and clothing. The rising fiscal revenue has made everyone in the federal government appear confident and ambitious. In the past two years, they have formulated many large-scale development plans for education, industry, cities, transportation, electricity, communications, etc.

We are gearing up and waiting to implement it.

Of course, Kanem's foundation is too weak. Even if the central fiscal revenue has doubled in the past three or four years, it is still far from being comparable to that of developed countries.

To realize these grand plans, the federal government also relies on the input of overseas capital.

Tianyue International and Sun Hung Investment have launched a new industrial city investment and construction plan worth US$15 to US$2 billion in one phase. Who can not feel excited?

No one doubts that the industrial new city plan of Tianyue International and Sun Hung Investment is a pie in the sky.

Ibogu Mining and Cornero Cement emerged in Lonta. Two large-scale gold mining mines with a total annual gold mining of more than 20,000 ounces were built and put into use; a refinery that processes 20,000 tons of gold-bearing ore sand per year stands in the east of Lake Cornero.

shore.

When the third Conero Cement Plant is completed by the end of the year, the annual production capacity of the finished cement production base along Lake Conero will exceed four million tons.

Tianyue Industrial's annual motorcycle assembly capacity on the east bank of Lake Conero reaches 500,000 units.

If the New Taihua Refinery on the south shore of Lake Conero is included, the shores of Lake Conero in Kanem can be considered a heavy chemical industry base in West Africa.

Cornero Energy, which is based on more than 70 small hydropower stations in the north of Lonta and the Lonta natural gas power plant, has greatly improved the power supply base of Lonta; the construction of the Cornero Lake Industrial Park and the Taihua Industrial Park has also begun to take shape.

, introducing more than 200 companies to settle in.

There are currently three 10,000-ton lake port terminals built along the shores of Lake Conero, which have officially accepted commercial cargo ships to dock; a 50,000-ton crude oil terminal and a 30,000-ton cement filling terminal are under construction and will be completed simultaneously before the end of the year.

And all of this was achieved in just three or four years.

On this basis, Cao Mo proposed the construction of a larger Huwan New City. Who can say that he was just trying to satisfy his hunger?

At this time, no one could question Cao Mo's financial strength.

As a listed company, Xinhai Gold must make public announcements on all major project investments.

The previous acquisition of the Fanie River mine and the capital injection into the Wusang River copper-gold mine project around the Spring Festival were directly disclosed after the board of directors passed the resolution and before the formal signing of the implementation agreement.

In addition to the amount of acquisitions and capital injections, some key data that may directly affect investment returns, such as exploitable reserves, will also be disclosed to the public; Qian Wenhan, as the largest natural person shareholder of Xinhai Gold, his Xinhong Investment's investment in the Wusang River project

The capital injection is regarded as a related party transaction and has also been disclosed.

Therefore, the Wusang River copper-gold mine project is no longer a secret in the eyes of interested people.

Akwa has just gone through general elections. The New Patriot Front formed by the military dictator Sewiy won the parliamentary election, and Sewiy was elected president. The entire country successfully completed the transition from a military government to a democratically elected government. However, the international community has raised concerns about Akwa.

There are still concerns about whether the political situation in China can maintain stability in the long term.

Domestic investment in the Wusang River copper-gold mine project by Xinhai Gold has also received mixed reviews, but it is undeniable that the Wusang River copper-gold mine, which has four million tons of metallic copper and 16 million ounces of gold reserves, has already

Step into the dazzling edge of a super mine.

The added value of copper concentrate itself is extremely high, not to mention the high-grade gold that can be refined. Whether it is mined and transported back to China for smelting, or Xinhai Gold takes the lead in building a large-scale smelting plant in West Africa to directly smelt copper concentrate into

The crude copper products are then shipped back to China for finishing, which is what the question says and is a normal choice.

In the past, Cornero Cement was Cao Mo's cash cow, but since February this year, the international gold price has exceeded US$1,000 per ounce, and the industry estimates that Ibogu Mining's monthly net profit is between US$15 million and US$20 million.

, the profitability is so high that it makes people salivate.

That is to say this

If the market continues like this, Cao Mo will be able to fully support the construction of Huwan Industrial New City by relying on the hematopoietic capabilities of Cornero Cement and Ibogu Mining, without even relying on external financial support.

In the splendid casino lobby of the New Taihua Resort Hotel, Lu Yan stood on the second floor, holding on to the gold-plated wrought iron railings, frowning and looking at the unpopular lobby below. It was hard to attract a few busloads of guests from downtown Draculamore during the weekend.

, he was just a fucking nigger who came here to get free food and drinks. In the end, he exchanged more than ten or twenty US dollars in chips every day, which made his head pound with anger.

Lu Yan also suppressed the anger in his heart and asked people to drive these niggas out. He didn't understand: Where did the high rollers who spent huge amounts of money at Lana Del Rey Beach Casino go?

"The trial operation has not been completed for two months, and the publicity is not enough. It is normal to be like this now. When I started the Golden Dollar Casino, I spent the previous five or six years fighting and killing. I have seen this kind of situation too many times.

,"

Yan Zhicheng had suffered a lot in prison and had been recuperating for a long time. He could not recover from his back injury. At this time, he stood behind Lu Yan, Liang Yuan and others with a stooped back. He comforted the impatient Lu Yan with a hoarse voice and said,

"Tianyue has put forward the construction plan of Huwan Industrial New City. At their usual speed, it is estimated that construction will start one after another before the end of the year, and it is even possible to build a certain scale. Huwan Industrial New City will also connect Taihua Industrial Park.

, there should be some improvement in the popularity here by then.”

There are many reasons why it is difficult to build a new casino here. Lu Yan rushed to China to find Yan Ming years ago and contacted him through Yan Ming. Yan Zhicheng analyzed it with Lu Yan.

Kanem's gangs have a close and continuous relationship with the traditional tribal structure, and their concept of territory is more stubborn than the Chinese imagine.

This is not limited to gang members fighting for territory. Ordinary people living within a certain territory will find it difficult to feel safe once their activities exceed the scope.

At night, local gamblers are rarely willing to travel across regions.

Not to mention that after the Guidamu family fell apart, the customers that the original Lana Del Rey Beach Casino attracted from the local Junket Shop were taken over by other forces.

They simply recruit foreign tourists in areas or time periods where gangs are not active. How many people are willing to go to a place that is still desolate, unfamiliar with the place, and has few complete facilities?

In the past, the Chinese gamblers attracted by the Lana Del Rey Beach Casino were mainly generous traders. Now they mainly operate in the city, or transit from downtown Draculamore, and most of their business is done in the West Coast District.

The newly opened bathing city and entertainment center that caters specifically to Chinese people are recruiting people there. Unlike before, they didn't have a slightly threatening competitor in the entire Dracula Mountain.

The deserted situation of the Xintaihua Casino Hotel at this time is the same as Yan Zhicheng's original analysis, but he would not directly mention the idea of ​​building a new city on the south bank.

The operation of the New Taihua Casino Hotel is dismal. It can only be said to be a minor problem for such a large industry on the south shore of Lake Cornero. Even if there are losses in operation, it can be made up from other projects. There is no need to pay for the New Taihua Casino.

The hotel's popularity has increased to the point where billions of additional dollars have been invested in building a new city.

From the perspective of rational thinking, there should be other more sufficient reasons for building a new city. The popularity of the New Taihua Casino and Hotel can only be said to be a side effect.

At this time, Yan Zhicheng said that this place could borrow the momentum of Huwan Industrial New City in the future, but he said it calmly and maturely. But let alone Lu Yan, Liang Yuan felt uncomfortable hearing it.

Of course, the real focus of Yan Zhicheng's words just now was actually to emphasize the "fastness" of Tianyue's movements.

Cao Mo only arrived in Yibogu in 2004 when it was still a primitive tribe. He took over the gold mine which was still a purely manual mining operation at that time. However, by 2005, not only had the gold mine developed to a certain scale, but also the first cement building was built in Yibogu.

factory, making a fortune from the Kanem Cement storm.

At the end of 2005, the Conero Lake Industrial Park started construction on a very poor basis. By mid-2006, the first modern cement plant with an annual output of 500,000 tons, the Conero Cement Plant No. 1, was already standing in Conai.

The northeastern shore of Luohu has been put into production.

In mid-2006, Cao Mo also acquired the Qionai Gold Mine and invested heavily in the construction of the rock gold mine; Tianyue Industry also officially launched a sales network in Kanem.

At the end of 2006, there was a coup in Akwa, and by the beginning of 2007, Cao Mo had won the mining rights for a series of minerals such as the Wusang River copper and gold mine. Next, he raised nearly 200 million US dollars and spent heavily on it without hesitation.

It hit Akwa, whose political situation seemed likely to change at any time.

The Gulf of Guinea Shipping and Mining Company also grew rapidly during this period, connecting Akwa, Benin and Kanem by sea.

They watched helplessly as Cao Mo rose from a little brat who didn't bother to look at them, to a bastard who didn't look at them seriously in just three or four years. And what have they done in the past few years?

Cooperating with the Guidam family to operate the Lana Del Rey Beach Casino was a dividend of three to four million US dollars. However, with the demise of the Guidam family, the Lana Del Rey Beach Casino franchise was eventually cancelled, and the venue

It's still empty right now.

The Xintaihua Grinding Station was half robbed and half bought by Cao Mo, a bastard.

In the first half of this year, the Port of Conero Lake finally built its first crude oil terminal and put it into trial operation together with the new Taihua Refinery. Although the profit situation is very good due to the surge in domestic consumption of Kanaimu, after all, it has not put a cent in the pocket.

money profit.

Compared with Ibogu Mining, Cornero Cement and others have already pocketed profits of US$340 million, and Taihua's many actions on the south shore of Lake Cornero did not lag behind. The most direct reason can be attributed to one "

On the word "slow".

The Catero Steel Plant project progressed very quickly after it was taken over, but in the end it was still Cao Mo's plan.

Therefore, Yan Zhicheng asserted that once the Huwan Industrial New City is launched, the construction speed will be extremely fast. Lu Yan and Liang Yuan did not find it surprising at all.

That's what I said, but the more I thought about it, the more uncomfortable I felt.

"Mr. Nsange, have you seen the proposal for Huwan Industrial New City?" Lu Yan looked at Nsange with a gloomy face and asked.

Nsangue and the Oppenheimer family are now close to them, but the Oppenheimer family has shares in Cornero Energy and the Gulf of Guinea Shipping and Mining Company.

The construction of the new Lake Bay Industrial City, as well as the construction of electricity and corresponding lake port terminals, require the direct participation of Cornero Energy and the Gulf of Guinea Shipping Company.

Nsange shook his head and said uncertainly: "The specific plan is still being compiled, but after several meetings and discussions, the idea has been roughly determined. The Lonta region and the Oyo state government still want to use this opportunity."

With the opportunity of the construction of the Lake Bay Industrial New City, the jurisdiction of the Conero Lake Port will be taken back from the Draculamo Port Group. At the same time, it will also apply for financial allocation from the federal government to build a bridge between the Draculamo Port and the Conero Port

to build a 30-kilometer-long

The railway branch line connects Huwan Industrial New City to Kanem's coastal railway network..."

"They have a pretty good idea. Can Draculamo Port Group spit out the fat in its mouth and build the railway branch line as soon as it is built?" Liang Yuan said with a smile.

"They plan to take over the Conero Lake Port shares from the Draculamo Port Group at a high price in exchange for the Draculamo Port Group to let go of the construction of the railway branch line. Now I heard the news that President Buhari is interested in the Lake Bay Industrial New City.

I am very interested in the plan. Senior officials from China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation will visit Kanem next month. President Buhari has arranged a meeting. Abacha and Blake are both on the list of attendants. At that time, the Lake Bay Industrial New City plan may be discussed.

," Nsanger said, "My father estimates that once Buhari talks about this matter, he is likely to take this opportunity to persuade your country's official forces to directly participate in the construction of Huwan Industrial New City..."

In addition to embassies, consulates and other institutions, state-owned enterprises such as China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation and China State Construction Engineering Corporation are also an important channel for domestic contacts with African countries.

CCECC has been deeply involved in Kanem for many years. In addition to undertaking various medium and large-scale infrastructure projects in Kanem, it is also involved in diversified investments.

Of course, China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation has long been deeply involved in the construction of many projects along the shores of Lake Cornero. If we really want to start the construction of the new Lake Bay Industrial City, China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation will definitely not be absent.

When Nsange said that Chinese official forces would be involved, he actually meant that Huwan Industrial New City might become a project jointly promoted by the central governments of China and Qatar. The significance and weight of that would definitely not be as simple as the involvement of China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation in its construction.

.

Yan Zhicheng didn't say anything superfluous, but looked solemnly down at the hall where there were only a few gamblers and not many waiters and dealers combined.

"We can completely replace him! Why do we have to sit back and watch Cao Mo get so proud?"

Liang Yuan invested all his little savings in the past few years into the Catero Steel Plant project, but as long as it was detrimental to that bastard Cao Mo, he never had so many scruples. He said somewhat irritably,

"If we really want to build a new Lake Bay Industrial City, it should be done by us in conjunction with the Draculamo City Hall. Who is that bastard like Cao Mo? How much financial resources can the Lonta and Oyo state governments devote to supporting this project? In addition,

, I don’t think you should expect Cao Mo’s bastard to build the new Lake Bay Industrial City to really be of any help to this place. He will definitely do everything possible to restrict the flow of people here..."

Lu Yan looked at Nsange with a gloomy face and asked, "What does the Draculamore Municipal Committee think of this matter?"

“Daculamo has learned from some foreign experience in recent years and built some industrial parks in the effective area, but the scale is very limited, and it has not integrated the construction of new cities. If we really want Oyo State to build this so-called industry first,

The new city will not only directly divert the growth potential of Dracula Motor, but it will also be a loss of face from Dracula Motor to the Ogun State Government,"

Nsanghe came here today with a purpose, and he said bluntly at this time,

"You all know the current situation in Draculamore City. It is very difficult to accomplish urban construction by tinkering with the existing foundation. The poor people in the slums are crying all day long about human rights.

I have long mentioned that there is the possibility of building a new town here. I can also guarantee that as long as you are determined, the majority of the people in the Draculamo Municipal Council and even the Ogun State Assembly will support you, railway branch lines, urban highways and coastal expressway

Highways and the city hall can all come up with funds, and they can even transfer businesses in the city, but you are too hesitant..."

"In the past few years, the difference between Taihua and Tianyue is that they are too hesitant, too slow, and call Cao Mo, a bastard of a man, Dezhi. I think you should reflect on it." Liang Yuan stood.

It doesn't hurt to talk, but he is following Han Shaorong, and he still looks down on the Lu family to a certain extent.

The corners of Lu Yan's eyes twitched twice, and he gave Liang Yuan a cold look without saying anything.

…………

…………

Returning to the exclusive suite on the eighth floor of Xintaihua Resort Hotel, Lu Yan said to Guo Jian behind him: "I will see the proposal for Huwan Industrial New City tomorrow. I believe you have the ability to get it..."

"Nsanghe hasn't even seen the plan?" Guo Jian said hesitantly.

"Had Cao Mo really been a fool, he would have trusted Nitz Oppenheimer and Nsanger as he did before," Lu Yan said with a frown, "Qian Wenhan spent most of his time in Africa getting involved with Cao Mo.

It has been months. Now that they have proposed the Huwan Industrial New City, they must have a relatively complete plan that can be put on the table. Also, you have the opportunity to remind Liang Yuan that bastard, what if our Lu family doesn't take advantage of him?

You can’t do anything to him, don’t talk so damn weirdly!”

Lu Yan asked Guo Jian to go out first and call his father on the dedicated phone line.

It happened that the Taihua Board of Directors was being held in China, so Lu Yan simply turned on the video and talked about the latest situation of Huwan Industrial New City.

To be honest, everyone has been fighting in the business world for so many years, and not all opponents can be suppressed by means. Lu Jianchao, who is standing at the conference table, cannot intercept this Hu in order to compete for the limelight or simply suppress Cao Mo.

The so-called new city plan, Lu Yan mentioned before, was opposed by Lu Jianchao. The scale of the project was too large. Even if Han Shaorong was involved, there would be too many uncontrollable factors. But now he could not turn a blind eye to the key point mentioned by Nsangge.

That is why Nsanga mentioned that President Buhari of the Kanem Federal Government will invite top Chinese officials to directly intervene in the development of the Lake Bay Industrial New City.

If this is true and they do nothing, they are actually sitting back and watching Cao Mo establish direct contact with the top officials of the central government in the country.

In that case, they would most likely be unable to suppress Cao Mo at home.

Since China's reform and opening up, the Africa strategy has truly been placed in a relatively important position. It was the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation that began in 2000. At that time, it was agreed to hold a ministerial meeting every three years to promote economic and diplomatic cooperation between China and African countries.

and other multilateral relations in various fields, but at the second ministerial conference in 2006, the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation was directly upgraded to the China-Africa Leaders’ Summit, indicating that China’s strategy for Africa has been further raised to a higher level.

Kanem's population, economy, and military strength are second only to Egypt and South Africa in Africa, and it plays a decisive role in China's strategy for Africa.

If the Huwan Industrial New City becomes a strategic cooperation project between China and Qatar promoted by President Kanem Buhari, Cao Modu may be invited to participate in next year's Forum on China-Africa Cooperation.

The Ministry of Economic and Trade at home and abroad, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Export-Import Bank and a series of state-owned enterprises with operations in Africa, especially in West Africa, will all establish contact with Huwan Industrial New City, and the establishment will most likely be direct high-level interaction.

.

"I'm going to see Han Shaorong. You're trying to get their industrial new city plan..." Lu Jianchao said to Lu Yan before the video call was closed.
