(Thank you to the leader for your support every night, there will be another update tonight...)
At night, the old chief Felician invited Cao Mo and Song Yuqing went over to have dinner. Cao Mo directly mentioned President Buhari's recent emphasis on strengthening local taxation powers and hoped that both parties would directly pay 3% of the surplus to the Lonta regional finance.
.
The old chief looked very calm, and his intuition told Cao Mo that he did not reject this plan just because he had been targeted and suppressed by local law enforcement agencies for a long time.
Ochosan Felician Jr. obviously did not expect that he had no intention of using the money to directly establish a closer relationship with the Patriotic Construction Front, but wanted to pay it directly to the Lonta regional finance.
What a subtle and complicated father-son relationship.
Song Yuqing was pulled out by Lily to look at the local long dress she chose. Cao Mo was sure of the old chief's supportive attitude and said to Ochosan straightforwardly:
"It is inevitable for me to invest in the Longta area to pursue profits, but I am also willing to contribute to the construction of the Ibogu tribe. Mr. Felician, when you return to the tribe, you should also see that I have this sincerity
Willing. At the same time, I also think that it is not limited to this. Any foreign company that develops in Lungta is obligated to the construction and development of the Lungta area. Therefore, I feel that even if the Ibogu Gold Mine has an obligation to
Part of the profits should also be given to the Longta region..."
Little Felician was silent and didn't speak. With his dark chocolate face, it was difficult for ordinary people to distinguish the subtle changes in his expressions, but Cao Mo knew it very well.
Little Felician hesitated and pondered.
Why the hesitation but no clear intention to oppose?
Is it that he also feels that this is the right thing to do, but cannot handle Abacha’s entrustment? Or is it that the regional organizations of the Patriotic Construction Front are eager to get the money?
"I believe Mr. Abacha can understand my good intentions..." Cao Mo continued to test.
At this moment, the subtle change in Little Felician's expression made Cao Mo feel that Little Felician's focus was on completing Abacha's personal entrustment and asking whether the Patriotic Construction Front's Longta regional organization could obtain
I don't care much about the money.
Since Abacha entrusted Felician Jr. to come forward to talk about this matter, the money should not go into his personal pocket. So, if this matter is negotiated, will it be beneficial to Abacha's personal status within the Patriotic Construction Front?
"Of course, I am also very clear that Mr. Abacha wants to facilitate this so that he can enhance his status within the Patriotic Construction Front,"
Cao Mo said this tentatively and saw a look of shock and confusion in little Felician's eyes. He obviously didn't understand why he could see through this intention so easily, which made him feel more confident.
continued,
"Based on my limited understanding of Kanem, if Mr. Abacha really wants to strengthen his position within the Patriotic Construction Front, he should support our choice. After all, his position within the Patriotic Construction Front is most fundamentally determined by his position within the Patriotic Construction Front.
The popularity and respect of Mr. Lonta’s status is determined, followed by the views of other members of the Patriotic Construction Front regional organization towards him. I personally also hope to establish a close friendship with Mr. Abacha. I would like to invest in the development of tribal farms like this.
I am also thinking of asking Mr. Abacha to come forward to host it. If possible, I would also like to ask Mr. Felician to help communicate with Mr. Abacha..."
"Okay." Little Felician Ochosan was a little frustrated. He didn't know how he was convinced so easily.
…………
…………
"How did you convince Ochosan?"
Cao Mo said goodbye to the old chief and drove back to the mine from the tribe. Song Yuqing asked Cao Mo curiously.
Ochosan and Abacha had a very close personal relationship. Ochosan didn't resist much and easily agreed to communicate with Abacha. Obviously, there wouldn't be any big problems with Abacha.
"I'll tell him what you said in your analysis. After all, doing this is more in line with the interests of the Felician family," Cao Mo said with a smile, "Now we'll see if Ochosan can convince Abacha."
"What's your special power, mind reading? Then tell me what I'm thinking about?" Song Yuqing turned to Cao Mo and asked.
"You're not trying to seduce me anyway," Cao Mo said jokingly.
"Bah!" Song Yuqing scolded, "You are a little brat, and I want to seduce you?"
Back at the mine, Kabuga handed today's gold mining data to Cao Mo.
"So much alluvial gold is mined in one day? Guo Jian and the others estimated that it was less than half of this!" Song Yuqing was shocked when she saw that today's alluvial gold production alone was as high as more than 600 grams.
"The amount of gold mined is unstable. Today it is considered high. It is not usually this high. But no matter what, it is not all mine..." Cao Mo said vaguely.
"Mr. Cao..." Someone in the dim light outside the house greeted Cao Mo inside.
This is not so good in Africa. In places where the light is slightly darker, it is difficult for locals to notice it until they approach. Saying hello or showing white teeth can startle people.
When Cao Mo saw that it was Ed whom he had selected to assist Overmar in managing logistics, he motioned for him to come into the room to talk.
Ed was originally an ordinary worker in the gold mining team. In the eyes of the villagers, he was a bit slippery and not practical enough. Overmar didn't like him either, but Cao Mo met him several times and found that he had a domestic perspective.
You see, he has a flexible mind and a cheerful personality, but he is very down-to-earth in his work.
The problem is that the Yibogu tribe is still too conservative and traditional. Young people like Aide are destined to be ostracized. Even Potu and Pali, who were the first to come to Cao Mo out of curiosity and ambition, are not very popular with the villagers.
.
Another one, Sam, who assisted Owema in charge of the infrastructure team, had a dull personality and did not like to socialize with others. However, he was related to the old chief. After receiving primary education, he also attended a vocational training school in Lonta town.
, regarded as a high-level talent of the Yibo tribe.
Cao Mo used these four people. Except for Sam, Overmar had objections to the other three, but so far the mine was managed in an orderly manner, and Overmar had nothing to say.
Ed was a small man. He held a pair of yellow-haired puppies in his arms and handed them to Cao Mo. He happily asked Cao Mo for credit and said: "This kind of lion hound is famous in our Oyo state. I heard that Sanchede
There were puppies out of the litter. I drove over after work today and picked up two of them..."
After the incident where the corrupt police officers barged in to extort money, Cao Mo realized that if he hadn't kept a low profile, the Yibogu Gold Mine would have been able to avoid the attention of criminal gangs. Even if people were looking at the Felician family, they would actually be keeping a low profile.
He was the one who suffered the biggest loss.
The time has come to seriously consider strengthening mining safety.
Cao Mo had always paid great attention to prevention. In addition to Kabuga and Overema, there would be six to eight workers on duty at night. For the time being, he did not have the conditions to build a wall. He first dug a circle of drainage ditches around the perimeter, except for him.
In addition, there are four legal guns in the mining area; the only road in and out of the mining area passes through the tribe, and is blocked at night to prevent outside vehicles from breaking in directly.
However, if you truly know how chaotic the security situation in Kanem is, you will know that these measures cannot be foolproof.
Cao Mo heard that the local lion hounds were famous for being brave and good at fighting but also docile to their family members, so he asked Ed and the others to help them keep an eye on any puppies in the nearby area, but he didn't expect that the young lion hounds were so inconspicuous.
"So cute!" Song Yuqing hugged Huang Rongrong's two puppies.
It is said that this kind of lion hound can weigh more than 100 kilograms when it grows up, but at this time, Cao Mo could not see that it was as big as Song Yuqing's chest.
Could it be that Ed was deceived?
At this time, Kabuga and Overma heard the sound and ran over, but they knew the goods and said happily that these two lion hounds were of good breed and could not bite two or three robbers when they were raised. Legend has it that three lion hounds
They dare to fight with a lion without losing.
Overma's niece is currently a full-time cook and nanny at the mine. At this time, she used a cardboard box as a dog house, but there was no food suitable for puppies. She could only mash some biscuits and soak them in water to feed them...
