Three hundred and fortieth chapters riding a tiger is difficult
Taihua Industrial Park, Conero Lake Port, New Taihua Refinery, and New Taihua Resort Hotel are all constructed and operated mainly by Taihua Group and New Taihua Investment directly controlled by the Lu family. In specific projects,
Cooperate with institutions such as Falkov Investment and Draculamo Port Group.
After this was agreed upon, Lu Jianchao was naturally responsible for advancing the specific matters.
There are too many things to do. The hastily drafted Binhai New Area plan is far from perfect. What conditions must be obtained with Draculamo and Ogun States, and what means must be used to force Lonta and Oyo States to make concessions? The federal government
Lu Jianchao had to think as carefully as possible within the next day or two about how the level would operate, as well as what kind of reaction and counterattack Cao Mo would have.
Lu Jianchao took Huang Hebin, Yao Haiming, Lu Yan and others on a speedboat back to the south shore of Lake Cornero, while Han Shaorong and the others continued to stay on the luxury yacht, enjoying the magnificent scenery of the Atlantic Ocean.
Xinhai is also close to the sea, but the turbid water like a yellow mud soup really does not arouse much interest in getting close. Facing the clear sea like sapphire, Cao Li couldn't help but put on a swimsuit after Lu Jianchao and others left.
, followed Zhang Jin, Liang Yuan and the others and jumped into the cool sea water.
The waves are calmer than expected.
Cao Fangming has been very busy these years. Even though there are safety guards watching on the yacht, he does not feel that he has the physical strength to swim two laps in the sea.
But it was Han Shaorong who plunged into the water and swam faster and further than the two young men.
After all, Cao Li was in awe of the Atlantic Ocean and did not dare to go too far away from the yacht. She spent most of her time clinging to the escalator and immersing herself in the cool sea water to enjoy the feeling. She didn't know when Han Shuyun had already boarded the yacht, and she looked at Han Shaorong.
Following Liang Yuan, Zhang Jin was swimming not far away.
People really can't be compared with each other. Although Zhang Jin is quite handsome, he is too thin and doesn't exercise regularly. His muscles are flabby. Compared with Liang Yuan, he looks like an ugly duckling.
What's even more rare is that Han Shaorong has bronzed muscles and a slim and slender figure. It's hard to imagine that he is over fifty.
"Why don't you swim anymore?" Han Shaorong came back from swimming, grabbed the escalator to rest his strength, and asked Cao Li.
"I'm timid. When I went to the beach to swim, I mostly played in the water on calm beaches. I didn't dare to go far away to get back home. But I'm afraid that if I swim too far, I won't have the strength to swim back," Cao Li said, sticking out her tongue.
.
"Haha, there are so many people, how can they watch you sink?" Han Shaorong laughed and said, "How about you get on the boat and rest for a while? Being immersed in seawater for too long is not good for your skin."
Cao Li obediently grabbed the escalator and boarded the ship, while Han Shaorong supported her from behind.
Although Han Shaorong did not touch her sensitive parts and rested his palms on her waist, her body still stiffened for a moment.
There were only five or six steps of the escalator to get to the deck. Cao Li didn't need help from others; did Han Shaorong give her a helping hand politely, or did he deliberately take this opportunity to touch her body?
Cao Li was not an ignorant and innocent girl. She always felt that Han Shaorong had some thoughts, but she still turned around and said thank you. She didn't dare to look into Han Shaorong's eyes. Her face felt a little hot and she went up to the deck. She dried her body with a bath towel and calmed down.
She came down and sat on the lounge chair next to her father, covering herself with a big bath towel and looking at the scenery.
After a while, Han Shaorong also climbed onto the deck, with water drops hanging from his body. He did not take the bath towel from the accompanying staff, but walked over directly, borrowed a corner of the deck chair where Cao Li was lying, and sat down.
Picking up the cigar on the coffee table, he spoke to Cao Fangming: "Although Kanem's crude oil production is very high, its fuel self-sufficiency rate is unimaginably low. Now the international oil price is rising one after another. Don't look at how poor other parts of Kanem are, but Degu
There are one to two million cars and motorcycles in Lamo City. You don’t have too much money in hand. I suggest you invest in the Xintaihua Refinery project and don’t spread it too thin. After you make up your mind about this, I
Tell Lu Jianchao for you..."
Kanem's fuel self-sufficiency rate is very low, but at the same time, in order to encourage the construction of domestic refineries, it has set up high tariff barriers.
This means that even if the refinery built by Kanem in China has backward production technology and the fuel produced is quite inferior, it will not worry about no sales or profits.
The first phase of the Xintaihua Refinery has been completed. Even though it has only reached less than half of its production potential during the trial production phase, it has already generated positive cash flow without smuggling low-priced crude oil. The investment scale of the second phase project is larger.
, the fuel refining capacity has not increased much, but with the addition of new product lines such as polypropylene with higher industrial profits, profit margins are expected to be more substantial.
Cao Fangming has not done much business in these years, but he also knows how profitable chemical products have been in the past two years.
In particular, the new Taihua Refinery will eventually be incorporated into the listed company Taihua Group.
If the funds he invested at this time could hold shares in the New Taihua Refinery, not only would he be able to receive high dividends, but they would eventually be exchanged for shares of the listed company Taihua Group. When the next bull market comes, who knows what the increase will be?
How much wealth will it grow into?
The Lu family has invested in so many projects in Kanem. Cao Fangming weighed his own and naturally chose the projects that were most likely to be incorporated into the listed company to participate.
"Mr. Lu, I need you, Old Han, to help me!" Cao Fangming said happily.
"Don't worry, my words are still effective; I have watched Cao Li grow up since she was a child. Of course I hope that she will have a beautiful dowry when she gets married!" Han Shaorong laughed, turned his head and pressed her behind him casually.
On Cao Li's ankle, she said with a smile, "Cao Li, do you think Uncle Han will treat you badly?"
She was a little panicked, but she didn't pull her foot back from Han Shaorong's palm, and shouted: "Uncle Han will definitely treat me well!"
"Haha..." Han Shaorong let go of his hand and turned back to talk to Cao Fangming.
Cao Li saw that although Han Shaorong turned around, his buttocks moved back slightly and stuck to her feet. At this time, no matter how stupid she was, she was sure that Han Shaorong was intentional.
She was panicking, but she didn't move her feet away. She was worried for a while before getting up and going to the locker room. As soon as she changed out of her wet swimsuit, she heard a knock on the door. She looked over and saw Han Shaorong standing outside. She subconsciously took a step back in panic.
Han Shaorong reached out and touched her cheek. She froze there. She didn't know what Han Shaorong would do to her next, and she didn't know how to refuse. She seemed to be frightened. After a while, she heard Zhang Jin saying
Hearing the voices on the deck, he woke up and walked out next to Han Shaorong, not even daring to look at Han Shaorong.
Looking at Cao Li's slender back, Han Shaorong smiled slightly. This kind of girl who knows the differences between men and women but has not completely gotten rid of her shyness is really interesting, not to mention her surname is Cao...

…………
Two days later, Lu Jianchao, Han Shaorong and others formally submitted the planning plan for the construction of Conero Coastal New City to the Deculamo Municipal Council in the name of Taihua Industrial Park and Conero Lake Nangang Co., Ltd.; and then submitted it to Ogun State
Parliamentary review.
In the 15th century, the first European merchant ships sailed into the Gulf of Guinea and used Draculamo's Aral Lake Island as a base to trade gold, ivory, furs, etc. with tribes in the hinterland of the mainland. In the following hundreds of years, Germany
As the core area and capital of this land controlled by colonists, Gulamo has achieved abnormal development.
Even though Kanem moved the capital to Isedan in the center, and built a crude oil export port and refinery in the southeastern river continent, it failed to threaten Draculamo's position in the Gulf of Guinea.
This particularity has also resulted in MPs and officials from Draculamore occupying an extremely high proportion in the federal government and the Federal Council, and they have a decisive influence in Kanem.
The Conero Lake Industrial Park and the Lonta Municipal Council proposed to plan and build a new Lake Bay Industrial City on the east coast of Conero Lake. Officials of Draculamo and members of Congress from Ogun State are worried that Draculamo's status will be weakened.
Strong doubts were raised immediately.
At this time, the Thai-Chinese Industrial Park, together with the Teculamo Municipal Council and the Teculamo Port Group, proposed that the Taihua Industrial Park and the area to the south be included in Teculamo and plan to build the Cornero Marina New City. The federal government
Officials and members of the parliament gave positive and enthusiastic responses immediately.
Almost overnight, the situation reversed.
Even if most members of the federal government and parliament have no interest in either party, from a relatively impartial perspective, they will not choose to support the Lake Bay Industrial New City plan just because it was released ten days and a half earlier.
The core contradiction between Lake Bay New City and Coastal New City is the issue of ownership of the Taihua Industrial Park on the south shore of Lake Cornero and the south shore of Lake Cornero.
Choosing to support the latter is because on the one hand, no matter how weak the financial capacity of Draculamore is, it is countless times stronger than that of the Lonta area. Draculamore Port Group is even capable of undertaking the construction of the coastal railway branch line, but this must first be done by Baoke
The Atlantic port on the south shore of Lake Nero, part of the Draculamo Port Group, can further consolidate its position in the Gulf of Guinea and the entire west coast of Africa.
On the other hand, if Binhai New City is directly under the jurisdiction of Draculamo, the Draculamo Municipal Committee will be willing to actively cooperate with the relocation of scattered processing and manufacturing enterprises in the city to Binhai New Area, especially in the West Bank District and Aral Lake.
The island area frees up more valuable core construction land.
President Buhari's attitude also changed overnight.
Members of the Lonta Municipal Council and the Oyo State Government and Parliament are very indignant about this, but Oyo State’s influence at the national level of Kanem is really not enough to compete with Ogun State and Draculamo
Confronted.
When President Buhari met with officials from the Chinese Embassy and state-owned enterprises in Qatar on May 8, the number of officials from Oyo State who accompanied him was temporarily cancelled, but Han Shaorong, Lu Jianchao and others were invited to attend.
At the dinner held at the Buhari Presidential Palace that night, witnessed by many federal officials, the Chinese Ambassador to Qatar, the Chairman of China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation, and many other figures, Lu Jianchao, on behalf of Taihua Group, signed the Conero Lake Signing Agreement with the Chairman of the Draculamo Municipal Council.
Binhai New City Cooperation Construction Framework Agreement.
The initially drafted new cooperation project is divided into three levels.
The first level is the administrative division. All the land on the south shore of Lake Cornero is assigned to the city of Draculamo, and 260 square kilometers are set aside as land for the construction of the new coastal city of Lake Cornero, under the city of Draculamo.
Establish a separate administrative district.
The second level is that the Draculamo Municipal Council joins forces with the Port Group to fund the construction of the Coastal Expressway and the Coastal Railway branch line to completely open up the land transportation bottleneck between the south shore of Lake Cornero and the main urban area of Draculamo City.
The third level is that Taihua Industrial Park, as the developer of the new coastal city of Cornero Lake, must not only speed up the construction of existing projects and build the supporting living areas of the current park as soon as possible, but also start the infrastructure construction of the park as soon as possible.
However, as a federal country in Kanem, the federal government cannot interfere in the affairs of the state government, and the regional governments also have quite independent jurisdiction.
The so-called framework agreement signed by Taihua Group and the Municipal Council of Teculamo does not have any binding force on the Lonta Regional Government and the Oyo State Government. If they really want to take the land on the south shore of Lake Cornero away from Lonta, they still
You have to negotiate with Lonta.

Cao Mo did not show up. On the day when Han Shaorong, Lu Jianchao and others returned from Isedan, Abacha and Yang Deshan rushed to Dracula to meet with Nyx Oppenheimer. Of course they were in a very "angry" mood.
Niss Oppenheimer sat behind a heavy desk with mother-of-pearl patterns and exquisite carvings. With an expression that understood Abacha and Yang Deshan's indignation, he patiently consoled him:
"Too many people in the city hall are worried that the construction of Lake Bay Industrial City will have a negative impact on Draculamore and the weakening of Draculamore Port is even more obvious. The whole thing is not that I support or oppose it, you
From the beginning, it was impossible to demarcate the southern port area of Conero Lake, let alone think that the Draculamo City Hall would support you in building the Coastal Branch Railway. No matter how much money you have in your hands, you will not be able to do it. It is still Germany.
Gullamore Town Hall.”
"Mr. Oppenheimer, what do you think?" Abacha asked Nitz Oppenheimer angrily, "Our plan does not exclude the Municipal Government of Draculamore, and we even want to
Cooperate with the Draculamore Municipal Government and the Draculamore Port Group!"
At least before Han Shaorong and Lu Jianchao formally met with President Buhari, they did not hear a single piece of news from Nitz Oppenheimer, Nsange and his son. Abacha had every reason to express his dissatisfaction.
"It doesn't matter what I think. I personally can't go against the city council or all the senior executives of the Draculamore Port Group. I can only say that you and Mr. Cao proposed an unrealistic and shocking idea.
It's too big and many people in the city hall don't think that Lonta and Dracula Mo are equal. This is a stubborn idea that I can't change." Nyx Oppenheimer said calmly.
"In this case, Nalonta and Dracula Mo can only do their own thing,"
Abacha patted the extra and said as if he didn't want to face the situation at hand,
"Draculamo is going to work with Taihua to develop the Cornero Coastal New Area. We will implement our Lake Bay Industrial New City plan on the basis of Taihua Industrial Park and Cornero Lake Industrial Park. It is not impossible..."
"Oyo State and Lungta have no ability to promote the construction of the new Lake Bay Industrial City. Why can't everyone sit down and have a good talk? Mr. Cao came to Kanem to do business and make a fortune, and he must not want to
He made everyone his enemy." Nitz Oppenheimer said in a low voice.
From the current site of the Taihua Industrial Park to the east and south, about 120 square kilometers belong to the Lonta area, which is also the starting area of their planned Cornero Marina New City.
The Taihua and Oppenheimer families have invested too much in the south shore of Lake Cornero. If this area cannot be set aside from Longta and put to good use, they will have to start a new business.
It would be easier to change to another development company, but many projects on the south bank of Conero are invested and constructed by Taihua Group. It is even hoped that during and after the completion of Binhai New Area, existing projects such as Taihua Industrial Park and port terminals can be invested.
Construction and operation have been substantially promoted.
The Taihua Industrial Park, Living Service Area and Cornero Hunan Port are the starting areas of Cornero Marina New City and the basis for the realization of the entire planning plan. Now Abacha actually proposed
Each side does its own thing, each side does its own thing, how could Nitz Oppenheimer be willing?
"Resources are limited and should not be dispersed at this time. Draculamo currently only has enough energy to take into account the construction of Binhai New Area and cannot continue to extend northward. After the Binhai New Area is completed, it will then extend further north to the east coast of Lake Conero.
It's a natural thing. Why do you have to be competitive now?" Niss Oppenheimer said firmly, "If you don't come here today, I will go find you and Mr. Cao in two days..."
"Mr. Cao's relationship with Taihua Group and Huamao Group has long ceased to be a pure competition. The southern shore of Lake Cornero was once in crisis. It was Mr. Cao who didn't care and came forward to help solve everything. The Oppenheimer family also
Only then did you have the opportunity to cooperate with the Taihua Group. Mr. Oppenheimer, you and Nsange know this best. However, the Taihua Group has no sense of gratitude at all, but it has spent a lot of effort on Mr. Cao’s Catero Steel.
On the factory project, he betrayed Mr. Cao and joined forces with Huamao Group to take away the project. To be honest, if Mr. Cao didn’t react at all this time, wouldn’t everyone think he was weak? I don’t think Oppenheimer
Sir, can you convince Mr. Cao!" Abacha said.
Abacha's attitude was very tough and the topic could not be discussed further.
After a stalemate for a while, Niz Oppenheimer said nothing. Abacha and Yang Deshan said goodbye and left. Nsangge, who was standing aside, had no intention of chasing after them to ease the emotions of both parties...

After Han Shaorong left Isetan, he naturally returned to the Xintaihua Casino Hotel to stay. During the day, he also had to enjoy the scenery of the Atlantic Ocean. The construction of living facilities on the south bank was much slower. After nightfall, there was nothing to kill time except the casino.
.
It's not very popular, and there's nothing shady in the hall. Han Shaorong, Lu Jianchao and the others are sitting in the corner of the hall, sitting around a card table, and they can feel more closely the unique atmosphere of Chinese casinos in Africa.
"What's there to worry about if we break up?"
Han Shaorong was sitting at the card table with playing cards in his hand and a cigar in his mouth. Hearing Nsange talk about the unpleasant meeting between his father, Nitz Oppenheimer, and Abacha in the afternoon, he said with a smile:
"It is clear at a glance which of the two plans is better and which one supports less. Now it is the willfulness of the other side. If the whole plan cannot go forward, it is impossible for President Buhari and other politicians to blame us, right?"
To be honest, the outcome Lu Jianchao hopes most is for them to break up.
If Cao Mo and his team's Huwan Industrial New City plan were ruined, they wouldn't have to rush into such a large-scale project. They would even have to bear all the responsibilities on Cao Mo's side. He was afraid that Cao Mo's attitude was not strong enough.
.
Lu Jianchao also picked up a cigar in a comfortable mood, cut it open with cigar scissors, and smelled the alluring aroma of tobacco wrapped in tobacco leaves.
Nsange knew his father's thoughts, and he still really wanted to plan and build the new coastal city of Cornero, so that the Oppenheimer family could truly obtain excess benefits from it; for this reason, he did not hesitate to treat Cao Mo and Abachana.
The border has a tough attitude and worked very hard in this incident.
Seeing that Han Shaorong, Lu Jianchao and others had such indifferent attitudes, he felt very depressed. He couldn't help but sarcastically said to Lu Jianchao and others: "If you really think you can plot against Cao Mo in this way, you won't be in his hands in the past few years."
You will suffer a loss!"
Cao Li was sitting at the card table and learning to play Texas Hold'em poker with great interest. Her English was not very good, but she could still hear Cao Mo's name when Ensange mentioned it. Seeing Han Shaorong, Lu Jianchao's face suddenly changed.
Shen, it seems that he suddenly talked about something unhappy.
At this time, the door of the front hall was suddenly opened in a mess. Four bodyguards with guns were guarding the door. They were pushed and pushed into the hall by eight or nine black policemen with guns in their hands. There was a waiter who didn't know what was going on.
He went up to question him, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he was hit in the face with a gun butt, causing blood to flow out. Then he was pushed to the ground by two black policemen, both tall and thick.
The gamblers in the hall didn't know what happened, but they all knew to stay out of their own business and stepped aside with their own chips. Cao Li was frightened by the sudden change, her heart was pounding and she raised her throat.
Suddenly, Han Shaorong, Lu Jianchao and other important figures were seen staring in the direction of the door with solemn expressions, obviously not knowing what was going on. At this time, Yan Ming took the walkie-talkie and hurriedly walked down the escalator from the third floor.
"What's going on?" Lu Jianchao asked in a deep voice.
"I was from the Longta Police Station. Six police cars suddenly drove into the park. No news was sent to me at the police station. It was not until these police cars stopped in front of the main building that the security guard informed me through the intercom. What a bunch of freeloaders! I am still
I don’t know what’s going on, Mr. Lu, you and Mr. Han stay away for now, I’ll deal with it!”
Yan Ming didn't know what was going on and was a little panicked. He was about to arrange for bodyguards to escort Lu Jianchao first. Han Shaorong and others went to the safer annex first to avoid contact with people from Longta Police Station who suddenly broke in with unknown intentions. Yan Ming
The walkie-talkie in his hand rang.
Yan Zhicheng's hoarse voice came from the intercom:
"Yan Ming, Cao Mo's car is behind you! Mr. Lu, is Mr. Han still in the lobby downstairs?"
A moment later, Yan Zhicheng also hurried over from elsewhere and reported to Lu Jianchao: "It was Cao Mo who brought people from the Longta Police Station. The police stations in the park are all Cao Mo's cronies and are not under our control at all. Their motorcade is here."
Before coming in, we had no news..."
"What does he want to do?" Lu Jianchao said with a sullen face. Cao Mo had dared to spit in Han Shaorong's face back home, and now he was acting like this. He couldn't help but think the worst.
"Cao Mo is not a brainless person. If he really wants to be so arrogant, it will not do him any good," Yan Zhicheng said in a deep voice, "Mr. Lu, Mr. Han, please be patient for a moment. Yan Ming and I will go out to see Cao Mo."
foam!"
"Ah! Why is it so deserted? There are so many gambling tables in such a magnificent hall, but there are only a few customers all night?"
Before Yan Zhicheng could wait, Yan Ming came out of the hall, and Cao Mo walked into the hall with Ade, Oulu and eight black-clad bodyguards armed with guns, surrounded by them.
Cao Mo was wearing beach pants and a T-shirt. His chin was itchy. He stretched out his hand to scratch it twice. He looked around first, then walked straight to the table of Han Shaorong and Lu Jianchao. He saw an uncut cigar on the table and took it over slowly.
Cut it open, picked up a gold lighter from Lu Yan, lit it, and then threw the lighter back with a "pop" sound.
"Xintaihua has been open for a while, and I don't even have time to come over to support it. I just have time to come over and play two games today! Why are you so nervous? You don't think that I brought a dozen guns here to kidnap you and fight for it.
!Hahaha, you grandsons, how come you have such rich imaginations? I’m not Baha Jidam!”
Cao Mo laughed heartily and looked incredulous. He shook his head and took a cigar to point out Han Shaorong, Lu Jianchao, Huang Hebin, Lu Yan, Yao Haiming and others one by one. Then he asked Nsangge and the others to sit down and asked:
"Don't just stand there. Xintaihua has opened such a big place on the south bank of Lake Cornero. You won't refuse me to come and play a few games, right? How much bets are you playing at this table?"
