The biggest problem in Iboko Village currently is the lack of cheap and sufficient electricity supply.
If diesel pumps are used for irrigation, considering the large amount of evaporation in Kanem's hot weather, it is impossible to make a profit from growing staple crops, and the price of vegetables will eventually drop to a relatively reasonable level.
Nearby farmers cannot afford such a large investment and cost, and the entire project has no promotion value.
This is also undesirable.
Professor Zeng Xianzhi taught the locals to dig wells at the designated farm in Kasiga, and then purchased hand pumps from domestic to irrigate the surrounding grain and vegetable fields. At the same time, he integrated mushroom cultivation, freshwater fish and livestock and poultry farming into a comprehensive operation.
In the past two years, it has been very impressive and very popular among local farmers.
When local bricks were not available, Zeng Xianzhi also organized farmers to use "cement bricks" made of volcanic ash and lime produced in Lungta to build well walls; Zeng Xianzhi is currently using the natural water levels of streams and rivers to promote rice cultivation in the local area, which is also of real significance.
Go ahead and help Kanem do some useful work.
These measures are much more reliable than the agricultural aid projects in Africa by European and American countries to promote drip irrigation technology in Kanem.
Cao Mo thought that Yibo Ancient Village would also adopt this model.
Digging ditches and then using diesel pumps or diesel engines to generate electricity to drive water pumps and pumping water directly from Lujiaochuan River for irrigation was too luxurious. He couldn't even think about it - the equipment investment and daily material consumption alone were more than Cao Mo could imagine at this time.
Tolerable range.
The old chief Felician also hopes to complete this project and then promote it throughout the Lonta region. He leaves it to his son Ochosan to participate in discussions on how to use the tribal land.
It can also be seen that as Felician Sr. is getting older, he still wants to reconcile with his son Felician Ochosan Jr. and let him take over the affairs of the tribe and family.
Cao Mo first arranged for someone to drive Song Yuqing back to Draculamore. After all, he and Guo Jian were both doing private work outside. The office of the West Africa branch couldn't have even one dispatched employee in charge.
Cao Mo negotiated with Ochosan and Abacha, and finally followed the old rules and registered the Felician Family Farm Company, with Lucy temporarily serving as the farm manager.
Cao Mo provides major equipment and facility leasing and technical support for cooperation, and takes full control of the operation and management of the farm company, enjoying 60% of the income rights.
The Felician family has allocated 1,000 acres of land for cultivation south of the tribe and on the west bank of the Lujiaochuan River. It nominally owns all the shares of the Felician family farm company, but only enjoys 20% of the income rights.
Abacha provides part of the rental of agricultural equipment and enjoys 20% of the farm's income rights.
Don't think that the Felician family's actual benefit rights from the one thousand acres of land they have allocated for cultivation are very low. In fact, the price of land in Kanem in 2004 was so low.
Not to mention Lonta, even for the land on the outskirts of Draculamore, the annual rent is only about ten dollars per acre; according to Kanem's law, the maximum rent can be ninety-nine years.
This is completely incomparable to that in China.
Cao Mo heard from Song Yuqing that the annual rent for informally leased land on the outskirts of Xinhai City was almost US$200 per mu.
Cao Mo promised to bear the main investment, but in the early stage it was mainly used for digging wells, leveling the land, daily material consumption, personnel training and wages, so the investment was limited; even if a new hand pump was needed, the price of shipping it by sea was quite limited. First,
The total amount is only a few thousand dollars.
In this way, the profits from the gold mine can be fully sustained, and there is no need for Cao Mo to settle small accounts.
Cao Mo didn't have the energy to take care of too many things at the same time. Since Abacha was so enthusiastic and eager, he asked him to recommend a farm manager from the Sika family's plantation to be responsible for the operation of the farm together with Lucy.
Of course, Cao Mo still took Abacha and little Felician Ochosan to the Cassia aid farm to discuss cooperation matters with Professor Zeng Xianzhi.
Professor Zeng Xianzhi participated in the aid project to Africa. He came with a willingness to contribute. He did not talk about his personal remuneration and made many practical suggestions. In addition to agreeing to send 30 workers to Ibogu Farm every day to receive guidance during the preparation period.
, training, and also promised Ibogu Farm to directly hire a group of skilled agricultural technicians and workers from Kasiga Farm.
The significance of aiding African farms is to promote projects and technologies locally. Zeng Xianzhi mainly conducted demonstration projects in Kasiga, but the local area was too conservative.
He has been working on this project in Kasijia for almost two years, but its local influence is not big enough. Local officials are not active enough, and only a few thousand acres of farmland are affected.
Cao Mo was willing to encourage the locals to build a new type of farm in Longta. Zeng Xianzhi was very happy and agreed to serve as a technical consultant to Yibogu Farm free of charge without hesitation.
The preliminary preparation work mainly focused on digging wells to ensure the supply of irrigation water. Cao Mo directly hired several trained and skilled well diggers from Kasiga Farm and went to Yibogu to start working first.
Abacha also transferred a bulldozer and other agricultural equipment from the Sika family's plantation to the Ibogu farm.
The operating technicians of these agricultural equipment are also directly employed by Ibogu Farm. After being transferred, they directly start clearing shrubs and other land leveling work.

Yang Deshan delayed his return to Dracula Mo until the end of November. After arriving at Dracula Mo, he recalled Guo Jian and Cao Mo back as soon as possible.
It wouldn't matter to Cao Mo if he was directly fired by Dongsheng or ordered to resign, but no matter what, he has been stationed in Draculamore for two years, and he has almost received two years of "high salary" in vain to be able to take over the start-up of the Ibogu Gold Mine.
Most of the funds also benefit from this.
After receiving Yang Deshan's call, Cao Mo rushed back to Dracula Mo as soon as possible.
Cao Mo set off late, while Guo Jian and the others drove around from Kadero, the capital of Oyo State, and rushed back to the West Africa Branch's staff dormitory in Draculamo just before nightfall.
Guo Jian now looks dark and thin. It can be seen that he has endured hardships in the Qiao Nai Gold Mine for the past two or three months. On the contrary, Cao Mo was in a hurry in the first three or four months. He had to do everything in person, but when things happened
Gradually getting on track, even though the busy rhythm remains the same every day, Kabuga, Overema and others are responsible for the specific and trivial daily work, and people feel much more relaxed.
Guo Jiang just stopped and saw Cao Mo coming from the villa at the back. He didn't say anything and walked straight into the house.
Cao Mo rented another place in the same community, Lucy and Kabuga both resigned from the branch, and Stena came from the Ibogu tribe to take over the job of the cook. Yang Deshan and Guo Jian already knew about it, and their reactions were very dull.
How can they react?
Everyone has been busy with their own personal work in the past few months, leaving Song Yuqing alone in the branch.
As long as Song Yuqing has no opinion on the candidate, if Yang Deshan and Guo Jian have any opinions to express, are they not afraid of being sprayed back by Song Yuqing?
"The group has currently established an overseas investment business department and decided to increase its investment business in Africa. The West African branch will also be directly in charge of the business department's vice president Shen Ji in the future. The group will have six dispatched employees flying there in the next two days. I rushed back early to arrange so much food, clothing, housing and transportation for Dracula Mo to strengthen its West African branch. Next, I will continue to serve as the general manager of the West African branch. The deputy general manager will be Wang Jianzhong from the former grain department. The branch will The new production department will be in charge of Wang Jianzhong - Shen Ji will probably arrive at Dracula Mo at any time to guide our work..."
As soon as Cao Mo entered the room, Yang Deshan called him to the second floor.
Four people were sitting around a tea machine in the small living room on the second floor. Yang Deshan introduced the process of establishing the overseas investment division of the group with a serious expression.
Dongsheng developed from a township enterprise and currently has between 5,000 and 6,000 employees. However, in recent years, the industry has been mainly concentrated in the fields of construction profiles, grain and oil processing, etc.
While competition in the domestic market is becoming more and more intense, labor costs are getting higher and environmental protection is becoming more and more stringent. Song Yuqing and Cao Mo analyzed that the group's intention to establish an overseas investment division is not only to open up the African market. , it is more likely to transfer part of the production capacity.
After listening to Yang Deshan's introduction to these situations, Cao Mo was also calm. It was still in line with Song Yuqing's judgment, or the gossip she heard was accurate.
Seeing that Cao Mo was a little distracted, Yang Deshan looked over and said seriously:
"Shen Ji is the grandson of the old man Ding Xuesheng. He returned from studying in the United States two years ago. After joining the group, he directly served as deputy minister of the Ministry of Food..."
Cao Mo can be said to be the most ordinary grassroots employee of Dongsheng. He has been working in the machine repair shop when he was in China. He is really not very clear about the involvement of the senior management of a group with five to six thousand employees.
Hearing Yang Deshan's emphasis, he understood.
This Shen Ji turned out to be the grandson of Ding Xuesheng, the founder of Dongsheng Group, and the nephew of Ding Zhaoqiang, the chairman of the group at that time.
Not only will the West Africa Branch be directly managed by Shen Ji in the future, but Wang Jianzhong, who is about to lead a team to the West Africa Branch as deputy general manager, will also be Shen Ji's confidant who comes in to take over Yang Deshan.
No wonder Yang Deshan rushed back to Draculamore as if he was facing a formidable enemy.
Seeing Guo Jian's relaxed expression when he walked in, Cao Mo knew that their development of the Qiong Nai Gold Mine should go smoothly, and the follow-up was mainly about additional investment.
However, the current capital investment in the Qionai Gold Mine is slightly lower than the total cumulative investment in the Yibogu Gold Mine. The Qionai Gold Mine mainly mines rock gold and recruits local workers, and the level of coordination is definitely not as good as that of the Yibogu Gold Mine. .
Even if the Qionai gold mine is of the same grade as the Yiboguyan gold mine, Cao Mo estimates that their daily mining volume should only be about three to four hundred grams.
Compared with their investment, if they can maintain this amount of gold mining, it will be considered quite good.
However, as a rock gold mine, the Qionai Gold Mine requires continuous investment in equipment as the depth of mining increases. Therefore, in the next one to two years, they can only transfer the assets of the Qionai Gold Mine, especially the equipment assets. We can grow bigger together, but it is impossible to recover the investment in advance.
Cao Mo's situation at the Yibogu Gold Mine was similar. If he made a little money, he would continue to add new equipment and build the mining area.
For Yang Deshan now, the Qionai Gold Mine is just a venture investment.
If the situation changes or something else happens, I don't know if the continued investment in the gold mine will help him get a lot of wealth and lead a luxurious life like a young model in a club.
At this time, there is no way he would give up his position as the general manager of the West African branch, which has guaranteed income despite droughts and floods and can bring him at least four to five million yuan in income every year.
If he doesn't want to give up, he can't let the group know about his private work in Kanem.
In this regard, the group has much stronger constraints on middle and senior managers than ordinary employees.
When Cao Mo's affair was exposed, he resigned voluntarily and that was it.
And Yang Deshan's private investment in the Qionai Gold Mine and his use of the resources of the West African Branch were exposed, so he was in more trouble than Cao Mo.
The four of them must first speak in unison, and then silence the local employees of the company.
The local employees kept their mouths shut. Kabuga and Lucy left their jobs. The other two employees were dragged by Guo Jian to work in the Qionai Gold Mine. They can now be said to be Guo Jian's cronies.
The key lies with Cao Mo. The cook Stena was found by Cao Mo from the Yibogu tribe...
