Even though its proximity to the equator makes the weather in the western part of Kanem become hotter at the end of the rainy season in May, the deep jungle in the northern part of Ibogu is a good place to escape the summer heat.
Qian Wenhan is willing to cooperate. The main thing is not to say anything. There is no need for him to stay in Kanem. As for the negotiation and implementation of the specific details, Sun Hung Investment and Xinhai Gold are both established in Akwa and Kanem.
A branch or an office.
Qian Wenhan returned to China at the end of April, but Cao Mo had to stay and perform the play well, so he and Zhou Han went to live in the tribe for vacation.
Cao Mo swam back and forth in the long and narrow mountain lake when he saw four off-road vehicles approaching. He took the rope Ade threw, climbed into the boat, wiped the water stains on his body with a towel, and headed to the shore.
Drive away.
Abacha and Yang Deshan got out of the car and walked over, standing at the lake embankment pier, waiting for the boat to pass.
"Today is the first time that you have had formal contact with officials from the Draculamore Port Group and the City Hall regarding the Lake Bay Industrial New City. It ended so quickly? It seems that the atmosphere of the meeting was not very friendly!" Cao Mo smiled.
Then he told Yang Deshan, Abacha.
"Officials from the Draculamore Port Group and the Draculamore City Hall used to dislike each other, but today they are all unanimous," Abacha, Yang Deshan and Cao Mo strode towards the lakeside wooden house.
, told Cao Mo about the meeting in the morning, "There was not much discussion. Although there were various rhetoric, they were unanimously opposed to our construction of Huwan Industrial New City. In the final analysis, they were still worried that Huwan Industrial New City would really be built."
Doing so will weaken their influence!"
At the lakeside wooden house, Zhou Han and the cook were helping the old chief set up the barbecue grill.
Yang Deshan saw a small iron pot next to the barbecue grill. The old chief dug a large piece of snow-white mutton fat into the hot iron pot and asked curiously: "Why do you use this iron pot when you have barbecue for lunch?"
What are you doing boiling mutton fat in a pot?”
"The old chief and I figured out a new barbecue method," Cao Mo said. "The mutton is first pre-roasted with charcoal for a minute or two, then fried in hot mutton oil for a while, and then sprinkled with seasonings to grill the surface until crispy. Not only does the seasoning
The adhesion is more even, and the mutton can be tender and juicy. You will know the delicious taste when you taste it later. If I were not worried about things in Huwan Industrial City, I would want to go to Dracula Mo to find a place to have a barbecue.
Already..."
Cao Mo asked Yang Deshan and Abacha to wait outside for a while. He went in first, changed out of his wet swimming trunks, put on board shorts and a T-shirt and walked out. He then listened to Abacha and Yang Deshan talk about Dracula Moor today.
Details of official meeting.
Before Zhou Han made various inducements through Yan Zhicheng, it was not impossible that no one thought of completely demarcating the Taihua Industrial Park and the area to the south from Longta and developing it as a coastal new area and coastal new city on the north side of Dracula Moses.
The Urban Planning Committee under the Draculamo Municipal Council also made a long-term development plan after the launch of projects such as the Taihua Industrial Park and the Cornero Lake Port, which is conceptually similar to the Binhai New Area and the New City.
However, the city planning committee has to formulate many similar development planning plans every year, but if it can be realized, Dracula Mo's urban construction and industrial economic development scale will be comparable to the super cities in Europe and the United States.
After all, we are still short of money.
The Draculamore Municipal Council has benefited from the economic boom in crude oil exports in recent years, and its fiscal revenue and expenditure have doubled compared to 2005. However, the funds in the 2008 fiscal budget that can be used for road transportation and other infrastructure construction are
It's only 200 million US dollars.
As the most economically developed and wealthy megacity in West Africa, the financial funds that can be used for infrastructure construction are only so much in a year. The officials of Draculamore City Hall and the members of the municipal committee have no ability to implement them no matter how ambitious they are.
.
However, it does not mean that Kanem has achieved democratic elections and there will be no regional and political strife. In fact, this situation is more serious than imagined.
Cao Mo launched the Lake Bay Industrial New City construction plan in the name of the Kenero Lake Industrial Park. The response he received in Kanem was not all positive and welcoming voices; from Draculamo, Ogun State, the federal government, and the parliament
Those legislators and officials from Draculamo City and Ogun State immediately raised sharp questions and criticisms.
After all, even if the Lake Bay Industrial New City will not fundamentally threaten the status of Draculamore Port and Draculamore City, it will weaken it to a certain extent.
This was all what Cao Mo and the others had expected, and now they were just waiting to see when they would come up with a new plan that would overshadow the situation.
“The Ogun State House of Assembly has a plenary meeting next week. If they want to stop President Buhari from mentioning the Lake Bay Industrial New City plan when meeting with the chairman of China-Turkish Land, they must come up with a complete alternative plan before then and pass it through Ogun
Deliberation by the state parliament." Yang Deshan said with judgment.
"It's just the past two days..." Cao Mo said.
Abacha and Yang Deshan have many things on their hands now, so they said goodbye and left after having lunch.
Cao Mo was very energetic and did not have the habit of taking a nap. He raised a few horses in the mountains. After finishing the work, he and Zhou Han, accompanied by Ade and others, rode to the mine not far away to see the operation situation.
"Han Shaorong went to Draculamore the day before yesterday. I heard that your brother-in-law also came to join in the fun.
, don’t you find an opportunity to get in touch with them?” Zhou Han, wearing a slim-fitting jacket and tight breeches, with a curvy figure, asked Cao Mo while holding a riding crop.
Although Zhou Han initially proposed the whole thing, hoping that the Lu family would eventually be trapped in Kanem and unable to escape, the huge reaction in Kanem in less than ten days was beyond her expectation.
.
"Han Shaorong is not that easy to deceive. If we look for opportunities to pretend to bump into them accidentally, it will only make us feel guilty." Cao Mo stopped his horse, looked at Zhou Han, and asked with a smile, "What's wrong? You feel guilty now. Are you worried?"
They don't bite the hook, but in the end we are self-defeating and unable to dismount?"
Zhou Han is indeed worried about this. If the other party doesn't take the bait, they will be stuck in a trap and be forced to implement the plan of Huwan Industrial New City, which will have a direct and fundamental impact on Tianyue's future development direction; she sees Cao Mo
He didn't look too worried. I don't know what he was thinking these days.
"You are too far away and it takes a lot of time to speak. Sit over here." Cao Mo said, patting the Anqiao in front of him.
Zhou Han glanced at Cao Mo, but obediently handed the horse to the bodyguard who was following behind. She got on the horse and sat in front of Cao Mo.
The saddle on the horse's back is not wide. The two people are squeezed by the front and rear saddle bridges, and their front abdomen and rear buttocks are tightly pressed together.
Zhou Han felt like he was being held up by a fire hydrant. He looked back at Cao Mo and asked, "Doesn't this make you uncomfortable?"
"It's not uncomfortable. If you wear a skirt, not only will it not be uncomfortable, but it will also be very comfortable." Cao Mo grabbed the reins with both hands and hugged Zhou Han in front of him.
Zhou Han relaxed into Cao Mo's arms and asked, "If they don't take the bait, do you really want to build Huwan Industrial New City?"
"Tianyue has grown to this point very quickly. During the whole process, I mainly wanted to do it faster and do the details better. The result shouldn't be too bad. I have to tell you what the big idea is.
"The main thing is to imitate Dongsheng; these are also familiar to me," Cao Mo said. "As for Tianyue's future direction, I haven't really thought about it, or I haven't thought deeply enough.
Mining companies, cement companies, and food companies can go step by step and do their respective businesses well. You just said that if they don't take the bait, what should we do if we end up riding a tiger?
Let’s start first, no one can say that Huwan Industrial New City will be built overnight..."
As far as the whole of Africa is concerned, Kanem is the country with the most stable politics and the greatest development potential. Considering Tianyue's future development direction, it is beneficial to concentrate its industries in Kanem and Lonta.
This is also the key to Cao Mo not being afraid of self-defeating things.
Transporting copper concentrate back to China for smelting, rather than smelting blister copper on site in West Africa and then transporting it back to China for sale, can save almost three to four hundred US dollars in freight for each ton of blister copper produced.
Planning to build a copper smelter in Kanem or Akwa in the future is something that must be considered.
Whether the copper smelting plant is located in Kanem or Akwa has its own advantages and disadvantages, but considering the future development direction of Tianyue, it is beneficial to concentrate the industry in Kanem.
In other words, if things really go wrong, Cao Mo will take advantage of the situation and prepare to build a large-scale copper smelting plant on the east bank of Lake Cornero first.
In line with the mining scale of Wusang River in the next two to three years, the investment in the first phase of the copper smelter will reach about 200 million to 250 million US dollars. Currently, mining and cement companies have a monthly income of 25 million to 30 million US dollars.
Hematopoiesis ability, even if Xinhai Gold and Qian Wenhan have no intention of participating in this project, Cao Mo can support it alone.
In China, a copper factory worth more than 10 to 2 billion yuan is naturally not qualified to support the launch of a new industrial city. However, considering the current situation of Kanem, not many people are qualified to come and poke a little bit of bragging.
break.
By then, Lake Conero will indeed be the largest cement production base, aluminum profile processing base, motor vehicle assembly base and copper smelting base in Kanem and even in the entire West Africa; at the worst possible outcome, Palm e-commerce and other companies will be relocated here to create the so-called
The Internet industrial base, bragging is definitely enough.
Besides, if President Buhari can really promote the construction of the new Huwan Industrial City in person, it will definitely make it difficult for this country to get off the ground, but it also means that this country will be able to obtain political and economic resources that it did not have before.
…………
…………
It was the first time for Cao Li and Zhang Jin to set foot on the land of Africa. Unlike the backward and barbaric Africa they had in mind, they did not expect that Chinese businessmen had already established a world in Kanem, which is more than 20,000 kilometers away from their homeland.
They had very poor psychological expectations before coming here, so when they saw the splendid New Taihua Casino and Hotel, instead of feeling that it was deserted, they were overjoyed; they boarded a yacht and entered the wide waters of Lake Conero, sailing from the mouth of the water into the Atlantic Ocean
, looking at the large-scale factories along the coast, it is not as desolate as imagined.
Cao Li's attention was not completely attracted by the scenery of the Atlantic Ocean. When she saw her father, Han Shaorong, Taihua's Vice President Lu Jianchao and others sitting on the back deck to talk about things, she also curiously walked over.
Lu Yan had long invited his family to Kanem to investigate investment matters, but there had never been a chance to make the trip. This time Han Shaorong came forward in person to urgently invite her. She was very interested in Africa.
So she and Zhang Jin came here with her father, Cao Fangming.
Cao Li heard from her grandma that Cao Mo also worked at Kanem and was developing quite well. However, she saw many Chinese faces in the past two days, but not only did she not see anyone from Cao Mo, she never even heard anyone mention Cao Mo.
.
Of course, there was almost another conflict at the Tianlan Bar last time. Cao Li could see that Lu Yan and the others had a deep conflict with Cao Mo, and they couldn't just ask around. Now she heard Han Shaorong smoking a cigar and following people around.
The people he sat with said:
“Since the Draculamore Municipal Council and the Ogun State Government fully support it, let’s do it!”
Cao Li didn't hear what they were talking about in front of them, but she could think that Kanem was fully supported by the state and local governments, and people like Han Shaorong came here in person. It must be a huge investment project, but
Han Shaorong just said it softly.
Han Shaorong is a legendary figure in Xinhai, but because they have known each other since childhood, her family even interacted with Han Shaorong very early on, so in Cao Li's eyes, Han Shaorong does not have too much mystery, but appears more approachable.
"thump!"
Listening to the sound of splashing waves, Cao Li turned around and saw Han Shuyun throwing the towel on the deck, wearing a sky blue one-piece swimsuit, jumping into the clear water like a mermaid, swimming with vigorous limbs
Standing, not afraid of the turbulent waves. However, Zhang Jin glanced at the sea from time to time with a thief look, and Cao Li couldn't help feeling irritated when she saw it.
"Cao Li, why don't you show off to others?" Han Shaorong saw Cao Li standing on the side deck, her fair skin directly exposed to the hot sun, and asked her to sit over as if he was caring about a junior, and looked at the scene indifferently.
The crowd asked, "In a few days, Buhari will meet with the board of directors of CCECC. Our plan needs to be reviewed by the Ogun State Assembly first, and before that, a wave of propaganda must be carried out to weaken the opposite party."
Of course, the final decision lies with Taihua. If Taihua decides to do it, Huamao can follow up with US$100 million first!"
Han Shaorong has always been good at using leverage. He once again cut off the project prepared by Cao Mo and others and launched a similar industrial new city construction plan on the south bank of Lake Cornero. The funds Huamao Investment needs to come up with are not too much; and when it comes to his personal
The funds are even less.
So he made a decision without any hesitation. When Lu Jianchao found him, he directly asked Taihua to draw up a plan first. He also got away as soon as possible and rushed to Kanem in person.
Whether it is to integrate with the country's African strategy, which is receiving increasing attention, or to suppress Cao Mo's rapid rise and prevent him from taking this opportunity to establish direct contact with domestic high-level officials, they must intercept Hu again.
There are certainly risks in this project.
However, even without the factor of Cao Mo, even if it was a casual chess piece and one to two hundred million dollars was spent to make a move in the most important city in West Africa, it would be nothing.
Under Han Shaorong's gaze, Lu Jianchao had a headache.
The funds Han Shaorong was willing to spend were less than he imagined, and the financial pressure they faced was correspondingly much greater.
As for the risks, he had no intention of discussing them.
Investing in Africa, no matter how reliable the project is, means that there are all kinds of unpredictable risks. But the problem is that Cao Mo, a little bastard, can ignore the risks and run wildly in this land for three or four years. From obscurity to this
Everyone here has to look at each other squarely. If he talks about risks at this time, unless he continues to slow down his pace and be ridiculed by others, what's the point?
Lu Jianchao pondered for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "We'll meet Nitz Oppenheimer tonight!"
"Africa is probably the last undeveloped fertile soil on earth." Seeing Lu Jianchao's determination, Han Shaorong laughed and said with Cao Fangming sitting next to him, "China is gradually coming out of the stage of barbaric growth. Fang Ming, if you want to go to the next level?
, I can only place my chips here..."
"Since you have such high expectations for investment here, of course I will follow you. As long as you don't dislike me for having too little money." Cao Fangming said cheerfully.
Cao Fangming didn't know the fundamental reason for Han Shaorong's trip to Africa. He only knew that Taihua had invested heavily in this land to build casinos, hotels, refineries, and 10,000-ton crude oil and bulk cargo terminals. Now it was Taihua who invited Han Shaorong.
Based on the projects that have been completed and are under construction, we need to acquire more land and start building a new coastal city.
In addition to Lu Jianchao's appearance to persuade Hainan Group to agree to extend the deadline for their performance of the contract, Han Shaorong also helped find a solar engineering company with orders from Europe and the United States to transfer the solar power station components that had signed a supply agreement with Hainan Group.
By digesting it, not only did they not lose the 30 million deposit and avoid the bad luck of bankruptcy and liquidation, they even made millions in profits from small and medium-sized enterprises.
With this level of friendship, how could Cao Fangming frown if Han Shaorong, with his status, specifically invited him to participate in an investment project in Africa?
Liang Yuan, who was standing aside with his arms folded in front of him, looked at Cao Fangming, Cao Li and his daughter with great interest, hoping that they knew that Han Shaorong and Lu Jianchao were making such a big fuss just to deal with Cao Mo.
