When Cao Mo returned home this time, he had to deal with too many affairs and they were too concentrated. He even forced Qian Wenhan to intervene in the negotiations with Hua Chen.
After Cao Mo finalized the framework, in addition to asking Xu Bin to arrange a meeting with Zheng Yuyuan as soon as possible, he left all the details to Xu Bin, leaving Huang Yijiang and the others to take charge, and said to Shen Ji: "The new investment company matter is also going to be done. Not too much, I can only be a nominal chairman, and you will be responsible for the specific work?"
Most of Shen Ji's net worth is in Tianyue-related companies, but at most he holds the title of director in related companies and does not participate in specific operations. His main focus is still on his position as president of Dongsheng Group's overseas investment division.
This time it is not only the acquisition of the carmaker and the subsequent capital injection, but also the subsequent extended investment in the entire industry chain. Considering that getting involved in the automobile manufacturing industry, the capital and resources required are beyond imagination. At this time, Tianyue Industry They may only be a small part of the entire industry cluster in the future. Cao Mo needs to set up a new investment platform separately from Tianyue Investment to operate this matter more purely.
In this way, strategic partners like Sun Hung Investments can be directly accommodated without being involved in Tianyue's other projects.
At present, the investment risk of Cartsmith is very high, and the scale of Dongjiang Securities' industrial investment fund is relatively small. However, after both parties have developed to a certain extent, the new investment platform will not be unable to accommodate Dongjiang Securities' industrial investment fund as a strategic partner. Come in.
The new investment company is also a secondary platform affiliated to Tianyue Investment in the Tianyue system. Both Song Yuqing and Chen Feng can take on the day-to-day management work concurrently.
However, Cao Mo also knew that it was impossible to ask Shen Ji to resign as president of Dongsheng Overseas Department immediately, so he could only choose a less busy position here for Shen Ji to take up concurrently.
This is an opportunity.
Shen Ji had no choice but to nod and agree.
…………

After the framework matters were finalized and seeing that Cao Mo wanted to discuss other matters with Qian Wenhan and Ge Jun, Xu Bin and Huang Yijiang took Gu Fan and others to say goodbye and leave.
However, Gu Fan still had an uncertain and unreal feeling. Walking on the main street of Tianzifang, which was still crowded with pedestrians after ten o'clock, he asked Xu Bin:
"Qian Wenhan and his Xinhong Investment are in Xinhai. Many people know it. There are really few people who can say they don't know it. But I can't be considered ignorant in Xinhai. How did Cao Mo do it in Africa? He How big is your business in Africa? Why are there no rumors in the streets of Xinhai?"
The development model of Tianyue Industry in countries such as Kanem can be said to be the most core commercial secret of Tianyue Industry in the early stage, and it can easily be imitated by other motorcycle companies.
Therefore, Xu Bin and Gu Fan have a good personal relationship, but whether they get together to talk about cars or play with cars, they rarely talk about Tianyue's development in Africa; they rarely take the initiative to mention Cao Mo in front of Gu Fan. .
Now that Cao Mo has decided to acquire the car maker at a premium, he is even clear that he can accept more open conditions.
At least at the level of Tianyue Industrial, there are not many business secrets to hide from Gu Fan and the others.
Xu Bin said: "...Cao Mo worked in China for two years before he was transferred to Dongsheng's newly established West Africa branch in Kanem. In Africa, he started with the most basic contracting of gold mines and opening of cement plants. , currently in Africa, mining and cement production are the main industries, and two group companies, Ibogu Mining and Cornero Cement, have been formed, and their scale has also reached a large scale..."
"How old is he? Shen Ji is Dongsheng Ding Zhaoqiang's nephew. Cao Mo's net worth cannot be greater than that of the Ding family, right? How old is he? That's too exaggerated!" Zhao Zhi is usually very aggressive and dares to do something. I have a daring character, but I was really shocked today, and it was only then that I finally recovered a little.
Gu Fan's family was well off in his early years. Although he was not a billionaire, when Gu Fan resigned from Huachen ten years ago and returned home to take over the repair shop, the Gu family still had a fortune of tens of millions. Otherwise, Zhou Jian would not have been rich at that time. If he wasn't so conciliatory and flattering to Gu Fan, he wouldn't have such a twisted backlash like now.
Zhao Zhi followed Gu Fan, and she was able to get rid of all her glory, and she knew more or less about Xinhai's rich circle and all kinds of gossip.
It was hard to imagine a wealthy man like Cao Mo, especially since he was so young and his family history should be more legendary, but she had never heard of it.
"...Cao Mo is comparing himself to the Ding family?" Xu Bin was not in the mood to talk about the debt crisis that the Ding family was facing behind his back, so he pondered and introduced some of Tianyue's situation to them head-on, "What is the situation of the Ding family in Dongsheng?" , I don’t know much about it, but I can tell you how big the Tianyue Department is currently. Tianyue Industry is currently exploring the market in Africa. It is expected to have a profit of 100 million this year. In this year’s market, it is already quite large. Not bad performance, but it is still very insignificant in the territory of Tianyue Group. It is probably only one-twentieth or thirty-third of the total profit of the two group companies of Ibogu Mine and Cornero Cement. If it were in Xinhai, it would be almost impossible. What impression do you have of the two group companies of Ibogu Mining and Cornero Cement? But when it comes to the secondary subsidiaries of Ibogu Mining, Drake Mining Co., Ltd. and the Usan River Copper and Gold Mine, many people should have it. I have the impression that this is the largest copper-gold mine currently discovered through exploration in West Africa. The proven economically exploitable reserves of metallic copper have ranked among the top twenty copper mines in the world. If the associated gold is included, the value is even higher. Even higher. After Sun Hung Investment and Xinhai Gold invested in the project, the valuation of this copper-gold mine alone has reached US$8 billion. This has been mentioned in the information disclosed by Xinhai Gold. It’s just that few people have noticed that Cao Mo, as the actual controller of the mining project with absolute control, has also appeared in these disclosed information.”
"Then he won't get a net worth of 20 to 30 billion?" Zhao Zhi opened his mouth and asked with some interference in his throat.
"Tianyue's main industries are currently in West Africa. It is difficult to say how to value it. After all, the situation there is not stable and there is great uncertainty. Therefore, Tianyue's industrial layout requires balanced development on both sides. Therefore, in the future, carmakers cannot be limited by burning 100 million a year in vehicle technology. You have to
To be able to successfully build a team framework, you must be mentally prepared to accept hundreds of millions or even billions of investment!”
As the CEO of Tianyue Industry, Xu Bin is responsible for market development in Africa and domestic product research and development. He has many opportunities to contact Cao Mo. At the same time, he has his own unique insights into the development of the industry, so he is more aware of Cao Mo's inner thoughts. ,
"At the same time, don't think that Cao Mo's acquisition of the carmaker is to serve Tianyue Industry. Maybe at some point in the future, Tianyue Industry, which is limited in size, will in turn serve the carmaker, mainly for the accumulation, collection and application of the carmaker. level of technology and data. Therefore, you don’t think you are under great pressure. The pressure on Yijiang and I is actually no less than you. Think about it, once a carmaker accepts hundreds of millions or even billions of capital investment , engaged in vehicle technology development, while Tianyue Industrial’s production and supporting capabilities are still at the level of pickup trucks and low-end off-road vehicles. Will Yijiang and I be replaced by new people and a new team?"
"It won't come to this, right?" Gu Fan said in shock.
"This is also the fault of Yijiang and I," Xu Bin shook his head and smiled with a hint of helplessness, "Yijiang and I originally wanted to make our own motorcycle products. In order to leave room for cutting off heads and tails, we started to put forward the plan
It was relatively big. It was said that we would invest 100 million a year in motorcycle technology. We actually wanted to bargain, and Cao Mo and other investors could agree to give us 20 million a year, so we just made do with it in the early stage. In fact,
, which is also more in line with the development rhythm of Tianyue Industry. One of the investors, Hexi Fund, directly rejected our plan at that time, and it even made it a bit ugly. But what we didn’t expect was that Cao Mo directly used the majority shareholder’s
status, ignored Hexi's negative opinions, and asked us to implement the plan we proposed without any compromise. In fact, we were a little dumbfounded. We were now riding on the back of a tiger, and we could only bite the bullet and do it. From then on, we were riding on the back of a tiger.
It has taken a total of seventeen months since we proposed the plan. We have established a product research and development team, purchased equipment, and established a research and development and testing center. We have spent 200 million to develop two models. We can barely meet the deadline, but it is really hard work. Recall
You have seen Yijiang when he first returned to China. In the past year and a half, do you see how many more gray hairs Yijiang has gained? Sometimes, spending money is not an easy thing. So Hua Chen intends to sell passenger cars
For vehicle assets, we only dared to suggest the acquisition of the pickup truck line that we were relatively sure of absorbing, but we did not dare to mention the sedan line and new energy vehicles at all. We were once worried about acquiring Huachen’s pickup truck assets, and the value of the carmaker was reflected
If you don't come out, I think the best result is to acquire several of the carmaker's patents as reserve technologies, and then ask you to join Tianyue Industry, but obviously we still underestimated the real plan in Cao Mo's mind..."
"Yeah, I'm worried that I won't be able to pull off the whole plan now. No matter what, we still have to convince Zheng Chunyuan to join in," Huang Yijiang said, "It's still early, should we just go to Zheng Chunyuan's house and sit for a while?"
Zhao Zhi looked at the time and saw that it was already past eleven o'clock, and wondered how it was still early? But then she thought again, for Gu Fan, Xu Bin, Huang Yijiang and the others, this time is really not too late...
