On the weekend at the end of January, Abacha, whom he hadn't seen for a while, suddenly appeared in Dracula Mo, parked the Grand Cherokee in front of the villa, walked in enthusiastically, hugged Cao Mo, and praised him loudly.
Yang Deshan, Guo Jian, and Song Yuqing are still busy with the handover and operation of the pressing plant. Some processes have not been completely straightened out, and they are still in a hurry for a while. After that, the pressing plant will have to install a new production line, and there is no way to take a break in a short time.
The temperature was a little cooler today, but Cao Mo took some time off and did not go to the office. He hid in his dormitory and read a book, and was frightened by Abacha's enthusiasm.
At the end of January, the daily sales of vegetables on the farm exceeded US$1,000. Cao Mo followed local rules and settled accounts with Abacha and Ochosan once a week.
Cao Mo holds the highest equity in the farm, reaching 60%. Initially, he promised to invest no less than 60,000 US dollars, deducting the 30,000 US dollars already invested in the early stage. However, at this time, he needs to share the profits to continue investing in the development of the farm.
, operate so that he can cumulatively achieve his original commitment.
Abacha and Ochosan invested in agricultural equipment and land, etc., and have completed their investment commitments. Naturally, they will take away the profits they deserve every week.
Such a small-scale farm has only officially been supplying vegetables for half a month, and is already receiving thousands of dollars in dividends every week. Of course Abacha is extremely happy.
Abacha was born into the Sika family, but his relationship with the family was not harmonious. Only after being elected as a municipal councilor could he obtain some resource support from the family, but it was also limited.
If the farm can generate stable dividends of thousands of dollars per week, it will also be a very important source of income for Abacha.
"It's a pity it won't last long,"
Cao Mo didn't want to attack Abacha, but he didn't want to see Abacha's enthusiasm at this time. When he saw the farm's income dropped sharply, he didn't want to suspect what he was doing inside.
Cao Mo felt that there was something he needed to tell Abacha clearly now.
"As the supply increases, our next step will be to consider using trucks to supply goods to Dracula Mo. It's too hot in Kanem, so even if we load the truck at dusk, we will detour from Catero at night and deliver it to Dracula Mo in the early morning.
In various Chinese restaurants and supermarkets in Vietnam, vegetables have to be stuffed in trucks for seven or eight hours, and the quality will be much worse. Now the supply exceeds demand, and Chinese restaurants and supermarkets have no choice, so we will not feel any big impact from this.
.However, as long as someone follows our example and rents land to grow vegetables on the outskirts of Draculamore City, if we do not significantly lower the selling price, vegetables that are not fresh enough will soon be driven out of the market, and the overall profit margin will definitely drop significantly.
.”
"Then we can also rent a piece of land to grow vegetables on the outskirts of the city, wouldn't it?" Abacha said, "Renting a piece of land in Dracula Mo is not a troublesome matter."
"You have said that renting land on the outskirts of Draculamore is not a troublesome matter. Now that we are renting new land, others will follow suit faster, and fierce competition will come earlier. The Chinese restaurants and supermarkets in Draculamore are still
It’s quite limited, and in the end it will quickly lead to the price of everyone’s vegetables not being able to sell,” Cao Mo said.
"It's not that exaggerated, is it?" Abacha said doubtfully.
"You don't know the imitation ability of the Chinese people. To put it more professionally, the Chinese people say that the copying ability of this business model is second in the world, but no country can say that it is first. The Chinese people are also very hard-working! Probably
Only the Jews can compare with the Chinese in business acumen and hard work." Cao Mo smacked his lips and said.
"What should we do?" Abacha asked in a panic.
Before he came to celebrate with Cao Mo, he was still thinking about the expected annual income of sixty or seventy thousand US dollars, but when he saw Cao Mo, he poured cold water on him.
Although he is considered a high-ranking county official and is older than Cao Mo, when it comes to business vision, after getting to know him, he feels that he is still inferior to Cao Mo.
"We can still be optimistic for another three to five months, but when new vegetable farms start to appear near Draculamo, and there is no road from Lonta to Draculamo that can carry trucks, we will try our best to use motorcycles.
With a small supply, Chinese businessmen should now be encouraged to open Chinese restaurants in Longta town and promote these delicious vegetables to the upper class of Longta society, and the effect should be better," Cao Mo said.
Cao Mo hopes that he can enjoy the benefits for three to five months. Not only will his investment cost be recovered in full, but the first thousand acres of farmland in the farm will also be cultivated, and he can then introduce technology to surrounding farmers.
Promotion can be considered accomplished.
Of course, if the farm could have relatively stable profits in the future, Cao Mo had also considered it.
Although Lonta's economic development is extremely backward, there are still many wealthy people like the Sika family. Two or three Chinese restaurants can be popular in Lonta, and then they can provide cultivated vegetables to large households like the Sika family on a designated basis to stabilize sales.
, profits will not decline too sharply.
However, farming cannot become a hugely profitable industry in any country.
If you really want to make big profits, you can only rely on more stringent technology, management and scale. Although the palm plantations in the Lonta area are a rare and valuable local economy of scale, the annual income of a thousand hectares of plantations is
It's only about five to six million US dollars.
This has not yet deducted the cost of local hired workers, agricultural equipment and various material losses, and the real profit will be significantly reduced every year.
"Then it depends on the step." Abacha said with some disappointment. He took out an exquisite Montblanc wallet from his pocket, opened it and handed a piece of paper to Cao Mo, saying, "This is your reward...
…”
Cao Mo took it and saw that it was a check for US$80,000. He was shocked. It took him a while to realize that this was probably a reward given to them by Tubman after he had recently received the final payment for the purchase of the crushing plant.
Although Cao Mo had never expected that he would get this money, it was quite impressive for Abacha to give him this check.
There was a period of appreciation of the RMB in early 2005, but the exchange rate against the U.S. dollar was still around 1:8. Eighty thousand U.S. dollars is 640,000 yuan, which is equivalent to the price of a brand new excavator.
Cao Mo subconsciously wanted to put the check in his pocket, but he hesitated for a while, looked at Abacha, and said: "The creek to the north of the Tubman Manor, and the creek to the south of the Sika family, build two
The cost of a cement bridge that can carry ten-ton trucks should not be too high. Can I ask Mr. Tubman Jr. to donate the US$80,000 to the municipal agencies in the Lonta area in the name of the Tubman family?
For the construction of these two bridges..."
"You are too stupid..." Abacha frowned and shouted in disbelief.
If Cao Mo were a billionaire, he could still win a good fortune if he used his fingers to do charity work - Abacha knew the inside story of the cooperation between Cao Mo and the Felician family best, and also knew about the Ibogu gold mine.
How shabby it is, I can't understand why Cao Mo used this money to play with his noble sentiments.
"As I just told you, because there is no bridge, it is very problematic to transport five or six tons of fresh vegetables from Ibogu to Draculamo every day. It will delay at least five or six hours on the way. Kanem does not
The weather is cool, and there is no technology to preserve freshness during transportation. The additional delay on the road is five or six hours, which is very critical for the freshness of vegetables, let alone meat. If these 80,000 US dollars can be used, the road will be repaired.
It makes sense, Ibogu Farm alone can help me make more money. Why do I have to put this money into my own pocket, but it seems stingy and greedy?" Cao Mo asked.
"Are you sure you can make more money?" Abacha asked hesitantly.
Kanem only ended its military rule two years ago. Except for the descendants of the colonists, the entire society has not yet completely shifted towards economic construction.
Abacha is definitely considered a knowledgeable elite in the local area, but his business and economic thinking is not as good as that of Cao Mo, who grew up in an environment with an open mind and economic development as a priority.
"Not to mention anything else, the Sika family plantation can produce nearly 2,000 tons of palm oil every year. If it takes a detour from Cardero to the Port of Draculamo for shipment and export, it will take nearly 200 kilometers to travel, which is a waste of time.
Let’s talk about it. How much more will it cost to pay for shipping in a year? It must be several thousand dollars, right? How much will it cost after ten or twenty years of accumulation?” Cao Mo stared at Abacha and asked, “How much does it cost to pay for Ibogu Farm?
If we want to continue to expand, only Dracula Mo can accept the vegetables and grain grown on the farm at a higher price, as well as the livestock and poultry that will be raised in the future. I now ask Tubman Jr. to donate the $80,000 to Lonta's
In the municipal department, I don’t have to stain my hands with peace of mind, and I appear to be particularly moral. But it may only take a year or two for the $80,000 to come back to my pocket. In China, there is an old saying,
To gather wealth, you must first learn to disperse it..."
"I really admire you Chinese people..." Abacha shook his head, and for a while he didn't know how to evaluate Cao Mo's theory.
Cao Mo's intuition told him that Abacha had begun to waver. He continued to say in a persuasive way: "My money alone may not be enough, but if it is donated in the name of the Tubman family, you can advocate for this matter."
Find a beneficiary plantation to allocate part of the donation, which should help you really establish your reputation in the Lonta area."
"Don't you just want to trick me into taking out my share?" Abacha gritted his teeth and hesitated for a long time before taking out the $80,000 check that belonged to him from his wallet and patting it on the table.
Go up and say, "With these 160,000 US dollars, we should be able to barely build the road in Yibogu Village..."
…………
…………
"What, Abacha, did you take the wrong medicine?"
In the Tubman family's mansion on Salt Lake Island, little Tubman looked at the two checks on the marble coffee table and asked in surprise.
The Lonta area is backward. As the old capital of Kanem and the commercial capital, Draculamore has a strong commercial atmosphere. Abacha and Cao Mo secretly brokered the acquisition transaction successfully. The Tubman family paid a certain percentage of the return. In Germany
Gulama is already a matter of course.
Besides, Abacha felt at ease when he took the check from him. Unexpectedly, only a few hours later, Abacha took Cao Mo and sent the check back.
Abacha also asked him to donate the two checks to the Lonta Municipal Council in the name of the Tubman family, and then build two buildings between Lonta and the northern suburbs of Draculamore in the name of the Tubman family.
The cement bridge connects the traffic between the two places.
Of course, little Tubman didn't care. He gave out these two checks according to the rules and didn't think about taking them back.
Donating to the Lonta Municipal Council in the name of the Tubman family would also gain a good reputation for the Tubman family, but the question is, is Abacha crazy?
Or is it that Abacha’s personal wealth is so great that he doesn’t care about the US$80,000?
“After President Buhari was elected, he repeatedly stated that he would severely crack down on corruption, but he encountered many obstacles. The federal parliament was even pushing hard for a bill to exempt members from corruption investigations. Since I am determined to enter politics, and I am also a member of the Patriotic Construction Front,
We can't let such a stain happen again, and I ask for your understanding. I accepted these two checks before, thinking that I would donate them directly to the Longta Municipal Committee, but after meeting Mr. Cao, I thought carefully about the Tubman family's
Donate this money in name and change the name to be more reasonable." Abacha said seriously.
If Cao Mo hadn't convinced him of all this, Cao Mo would have almost believed that Abacha's righteous words were true, and the way Little Tubman looked at him had changed.
"This is already your money. Since you decide to spend it this way, I have no objection." Tubman Jr. shrugged, expressing respect for Abacha's opinion.
"Squeak!"
The door leading from the small hall to the large living room was pushed open. Cao Mo turned around and saw little Tubman's sister, Starry, walking in wearing a local dyed dress. She was longer, more delicate and brighter.
.
She saw two checks on the coffee table. She didn't understand what was going on at first. She took it over and took a look at it arrogantly. She immediately wanted to understand what was going on after looking at the numbers on it. She glanced at Cao Mo and threw down the check.
Just go upstairs.
There was no need for sensitive intuition, the disdain in the girl's beautiful eyes was too obvious, Cao Mo felt aggrieved: Damn, I behave upright, sit up straight, the breeze in my sleeves persuaded Abacha to come over and return the check, it is definitely not the one you thought
The twenty-five-year-old who cheated and secretly helped the Tubman family raise the selling price to Dongsheng Group!
"Starlee," little Tubman called to her sister and pointed to the two checks on the coffee table. "These two checks are the family's reward for Mr. Abacha's help in brokering the acquisition, but Mr. Abacha has high moral character.
, hope that in the name of our family, this money can be donated to the Lonta Municipal Council for the construction of roads and bridges from Lonta - I may not have time to do this recently, Starlie, you should also do the same for the family
Let’s do something.”
Seeing the way Stali looked at Abacha, his hesitation and confusion turned into surprise, and Abacha straightened his chest to meet Stali's gaze, Cao Mo really wanted to kick Abacha to the ground, and then
He grabbed Stali by the collar and shouted: The ignorant girl next door to Mader, the moral person is here!
Cao Mo kept a generous smile with a bitter heart, thinking that sometimes being too stubborn is not a good thing.
