(Another new leader is born. Thanks to the support of steed9527, the third update will be continued today...)
Since Cao Mo couldn't be contacted in Yibogu, Kabuga was dragged to Dracula by Abacha. Cao Mo appointed a driver and bodyguard to accompany Kabuga named Ayo Degiossa.
One is named Orukujut.
The names of these two people were very difficult to pronounce in Yoruba. At the mine, Cao Mo called one of them Ade and the other Oru.
Both of them have served in the military and went to the battlefield with the old chiefs Felician and Owema. They are both in their thirties. They are taciturn and a bit dull. They work very down-to-earth in the mines. There is nothing wrong with them.
People with "out-of-the-ordinary" ideas are not the same type of people as Potu and Pari, who are quick-minded and always want to do something.
Cao Mo selected candidates from among the workers of the gold mining team to be trained as grassroots managers. Naturally, they were not among Cao Mo's choices, but Overmar liked them both so much that he even married his two nieces to them early.
.
Ade's wife is currently a cook in the mine; Oru's wife has received vocational education and is currently a teacher in a tribal school.
In addition to being physically strong, both of them are very good at marksmanship and are famous hunters in the tribe. Besides not liking to talk very much, they are not stupid and both have driver's licenses and gun licenses.
After hunting several times, Aba even checked and told Cao Mo that if he really wanted to get some cheap bodyguards, these two people still had the potential to cultivate them.
In Draculamore's foreign-owned companies, the roles of driver and bodyguard are common.
Time is too urgent. A new batch of dispatched personnel from Dongsheng will be coming the day after tomorrow. Ade and Orlu cannot be unfamiliar with the road traffic and other conditions in Draculamore.
Cao Mo asked Kabuga to stay for the next two days. Tonight, he took Ade and Orlu to drive out for dinner. He would drive around first, at least to clear the main road traffic and landmark buildings of Dracula Mo.
A rough impression.
Yang Deshan, Guo Jian, and Cao Mo all returned to Draculamore. Tonight, Stena specially prepared a sumptuous dinner. Cao Mo simply left Abacha, who was obsessed with Chinese food, to eat in the dormitory without going out to find any extra food.
A high-end restaurant entertained him.
Kanem has been under colonial rule for hundreds of years. Except for a few cities such as Draculamore that have gained a slightly modern flavor, most other areas are quite conservative and have strict class hierarchies.
Abacha's driver and bodyguards were not qualified to dine at the same table with them. Cao Mo didn't care, but he didn't want to break Abacha's rules, so he asked Stena to prepare a table of dishes for the driver and bodyguards at his residence.
.
During the meal, Abacha talked about the projects he recommended.
As the world's third largest exporter of oil palm, oil palm cultivation and palm oil crushing are extremely popular in Canem - the scale of palm cultivation on the outskirts of Draculamo is much larger than that of Lonta.
The overall scale is large, but it cannot directly control the huge international market trade. The operating standards of large and small palm plantations and crushing plants vary. No matter how cheap the local labor costs are, they will inevitably be ruined.
Abacha recommended this plantation in the northern suburbs of Dracula. It belongs to the Tubman family, descendants of local colonists. Their eldest son was a classmate of Abacha when they were students in Cadero; Ochosan was their student at Ocho at that time.
A young lecturer at the State College.
Little Tubman was not a passionate revolutionary young man. He returned to Draculamore to inherit the family business at a young age. However, he was a well-known local playboy who spent extravagantly and was not good at management, so life was a bit difficult.
The Tubman family has an oil palm plantation of 2,000 acres (12,000 acres), slightly larger than the Sika family, and also operates a crushing plant.
After receiving a call from Cao Mo yesterday, Abacha had a phone call with Tubman Jr. and found out that the price was right. The Tubman family was willing to sell the crushing plant, but the family insisted on retaining the oil palm plantation they operated.
Sheng Group signed a long-term supply agreement.
Although the young Tubman was prodigal, he still knew that he wanted to preserve the roots of the family and had no intention of selling the oil palm plantations directly.
After Abacha's introduction, Cao Mo could see that Yang Deshan was very satisfied with this project.
The level of local oil palm crushing is lagging behind, land prices are low, and the transfer price of a crushing plant with poor management and a stable supply of raw materials is actually very limited.
The local oil palm cultivation has a long history, and the oil production of oil palm per acre is about 200 kilograms.
The Tubman family's crushing plant mainly served family plantations, and its annual production capacity should be about 2,400 to 5,000 tons.
This is still small compared to Dongsheng’s current annual vegetable oil production capacity of 400,000 tons.
However, it is precisely because of the Tubman family's small scale and limited investment in acquisitions and initial renovation and expansion that they can take the lead in the project.
Otherwise, if we directly launch a 100,000-ton oil palm crushing project, will it be their turn to take the lead?
They were able to take the lead in the early stages of this project. Later, as new oil palm sources were signed, the production capacity gradually expanded. As long as it can continuously create profits for the group, how could the group easily break this situation?

Just after dinner, Abacha received a call and said to Cao Mo with a smile: "It seems that little Tubman is not the type to run a family business. The Tubman family has a residence on Ikoyi Island. He can't wait to
I want to invite you over..."
Shen Ji's direct descendant Wang Jianzhong was coming the day after tomorrow, and Yang Deshan couldn't wait to negotiate some preliminary terms so as to seize the initiative, so he decided to go to the Tubman family mansion at night.
Kabuga took Ade and Orlu outside to familiarize themselves with the streets of Draculamo. Cao Mo, Song Yuqing, Guo Jian, and Yang Deshan followed Abacha to Ikoyi Island by car.
Vikoyi Island is Draculamo, and it is the island where the rich live in the entire Kanem. It takes half an hour's drive to reach Ikoyi Island from the West Bank Bridge and through the Aral Lake Island District, the commercial center.
Compared with the West Bank area, which is full of messy slums and sewage flowing across the river, Ikoyi Island has neat villa areas scattered under tall palms, with birds singing and flowers fragrant. It can be said that it is a completely different world.
Ikoyi Island is the back garden that the colonial rulers have carefully built here for hundreds of years. Exquisite and gorgeous buildings abound, and the wide and silent asphalt roads stretch quietly under the street lights.
Even if the commercial center of Aral Lake Island loses power, there will be sufficient power supply here, and the water supply is of course not the same system as that on the West Coast.
For the poor people in the West Bank District, this is heaven on earth - paradise on earth.
The Tubman family's house on Ikoyi Island is a garden covering an area of six or seven acres. A white European-style main building stands in front of the lawn, which is quite spectacular.
I heard from Abacha that the Tubman family currently mainly operates oil palm plantations in Kanem.
Compared with the wealthy people in the country, Tubman's income in Kanem is not high. But the problem is that the Tubman family, which was a member of the colonists in the early years, has been operating plantations for hundreds of years, and also operated other industries during this period.
, after such a long period of accumulation, it is not surprising at all to own such a mansion in Ikoyi Island.
Little Tubman is a tall and handsome young man with a nose augmentation, high eyebrows, and deep dark brown eye sockets. As a descendant of colonists, his skin color is lighter than Abacha's, and he has more obvious Italian ancestry.
Accompanying little Tubman, she walked out of the main building to greet everyone. She was a pure European beauty with a tall figure, wearing a shoulder-length floral dress. Her breasts were raised high, revealing a ravine that seemed to hide endless desire. She was arrogant and cool.
She glanced at Song Yuqing with a condescending look, as if staring at the enemy who was invading her territory.
Little Tubman is really a romantic seed. With such an Orumba beauty next to her, she glances at Song Yuqing. Little Tubman is wearing a crisp suit and shiny leather shoes. When she enters the hall, she helps Song Yuqing push her forward very elegantly.
Opening the door, there was a butler in white clothes and two maids standing at the door of the hall.
Yang Deshan's English was still poor, but with Guo Jian here, Cao Mo was happy to take his time. He sat on the sofa and looked at the walls of the auditorium-style hall, the luxurious and exquisite marble reliefs with a sense of age and the gold-plated platinum ceiling.
Large hanging crystal lamp.
On the way over by car, Abacha also complained that little Tubman had followed them to oppose the military government earlier, but had betrayed the revolution early on. Cao Mo now saw the scene in front of him and thought to himself, who would have nothing to do with his own life?
In addition to this place, the Tubman family also owns a larger mansion in the northern suburbs of the plantation. I wonder if it has such luxury inside:
This Tubman family is richer than Abacha said along the way!
Cao Mo couldn't help but pick up the coffee cup, stood up and admired the reliefs in the hall, and completely pushed the negotiation to Yang Deshan, who would not participate - he mainly wanted to take the opportunity to pour the coffee in his arms into the green plants and flowers while others were not paying attention.
In the basin.
Strangely enough, Cao Mo's stomach doesn't seem to be used to caffeine. He usually eats tea instead of coffee in the dormitory, but the black butler in a white dress would see him in his cup every time he came over to refill coffee for everyone.
He didn't understand the coffee, and both looked hurt. Cao Mo thought it would be better to pretend to drink it.
"Brother, how can you continue to act so recklessly?"
Cao Mo was standing at an oil painting on the side wall of the small hall. He was secretly peeking at the black butler without taking his attention away, so that he could pour the coffee onto the roots of the dragon's blood tree under the oil painting, but he didn't want to see a young girl angry.
He burst out of the small hall and knocked over the coffee cup in his hand.
The young girl didn't notice that the coffee spilled all over Cao Mo, and shouted angrily at little Tubman: "Brother, do you have to destroy the family's property bit by bit before you are willing to do it? Mom was lying on the bed.
On the hospital bed, when I heard the news, I almost fainted!"
Cao Mo held the empty coffee cup and thought that now was not the time to reason with this girl and ask for an explanation. It was a pity that he was wearing a new crisp shirt that he had only worn for a day!
"I'm sorry," little Tubman awkwardly came over to apologize to Cao Mo, scolding the girl in Yoruba in a low voice, "Starlie, the guests are here, don't be so unreasonable?"
The girl Stari looks about 18 or 19 years old, maybe a little older. She has fair skin, a high bridge of nose, deep and bright eyes, and thick brown hair. It is almost impossible to tell that she is of local Yoruba origin.
The girl was furious and had no intention of apologizing to the Chinese who came over to discuss the acquisition of the family property. She argued eagerly with little Tubman in Yoruba.
Cao Mo could only sit back on the sofa innocently. Fortunately, Song Yuqing thoughtfully took out a tissue and wiped the coffee stains for him.
"What are they talking about?" Yang Deshan knew that Cao Mo should be fluent in Yoruba, so he lowered his voice and asked in Chinese.
Little Tubman switched to Yoruba to talk to the girl, probably because she didn't want to reveal too many secrets.
Cao Mo glanced at Abacha, who shrugged indifferently, not intending to expose the fact that Cao Mo could speak Yoruba. Cao Mo shrugged at Yang Deshan and said in Chinese: "They talked too fast, I made an appointment
I just learned a little bit of Ruba language, but how can I understand what they are saying?"
Seeing that Cao Mo obviously didn't want to say anything, Yang Deshan pinched his brows to prevent his anger from showing.
Little Tubman finally convinced the girl. After the girl left angrily, she came back and apologized to everyone in English: "My willful sister is always so impetuous and impulsive in doing things - the crushing plant is my father."
She always felt that the building she built during her lifetime had special significance and opposed its sale. It was with great difficulty that she was persuaded not to make the distinguished guests unhappy again..."
"Mr. Yang, you guys are done talking, are you going directly to the field tomorrow?" Cao Mo asked Yang Deshan.
Yang Deshan nodded, and the others stood up and said goodbye to little Tubman.
Abacha naturally stayed at a hotel in Draculamore, and he specifically told Cao Mo that it was still early.
It’s already eleven o’clock, is it still early?
Abacha still had the serious look of an official in Lonta, but when he got to Draculamore, he was about to let himself go?
Although there is definitely no shortage of beauties in Draculamore, such as the European beauty next to little Tubman, and his sister Starry who is as puffy as a little pepper, but Draculamore's nightclub...
Sorry, Cao Mo has no intention of hanging out with Abacha.
Cao Mo yawned, indicating that he was too tired. Tomorrow he would go to the plantation with Little Tubman to see the oil palm crushing factory...
