It was already eleven o'clock at night when Cao Mo hurried back to Draculamore. The power had just been turned on and Song Yuqing was still awake.
The cook Stena slept soundly. Song Yuqing ran downstairs and opened the door to Cao Mo. She asked Cao Mo with some confusion and worry: "What happened?"
Due to public security issues, Cao Mo traveled between Longta and Draculamo, rarely traveling at night.
He did not stay overnight at the Ibogu tribe so late, but rushed back to the company dormitory with Ade and Oru. Song Yuqing would not even think it was normal.
At this time, Wang Wen was wearing a nightgown and holding his chest with his hands. He looked out of the room and asked, "Where did you go to play and you came back so late?"
Wang Wen didn't wear underwear under her nightgown, but the key point was that it didn't have much scale. Why should she hug her? There were two poached eggs hidden in the cotton nightgown. How could she be afraid of prying eyes? Cao Mo secretly complained.
Wang Wen was very dissatisfied with Cao Mo, who disappeared for a day or two every now and then.
Cao Mo only thought about the needs of life, especially in the corners of Draculamore. There were countless criminals hidden in it, and it was never a good thing to show off.
And if you want to survive, there is probably no one who is more low-key and less eye-catching than an insignificant role in the office of the West Africa branch.
Regarding Wang Wen's little girlish temper, Cao Mo teased her when he had time, but ignored her when he had no time. Now he just said a few perfunctory words to her and went upstairs.
When Song Yuqing came upstairs after saying a few words to Wang Wen, Cao Mo waved her into the room to talk.
Song Yuqing was not wearing anything under her nightgown. Although the nightgown was very conservative, she still habitually held her chest with her hands, leaned against the door, and asked Cao Mo in a low voice: "What happened?"
"...It's so difficult for me."
Cao Mo first complained.
"Is it difficult? Wang Wen said that you must have gone to hook up with a local girl, so you stayed up all day and night. He didn't know that the local girls were all slutty, so how could you keep talking about it?" Song Yuqing
Seeing that Cao Mo didn't look like anything was wrong, he covered his mouth and joked.
"How could I offend her? She arranged this for me behind my back? I'm not blind. I haven't hooked up with Sister Yuqing yet!" Cao Mo said.
"Talk about it. If you keep talking about me, I'll go to bed." Song Yuqing urged him angrily.
"Things are still a bit complicated. Just sit back and listen, so as not to tire you."
Cao Mo pulled up a chair for Song Yuqing, with his butt propped up on the desk, and told Song Yuqing that Little Tubman had given him and Abbaman $80,000 each as compensation for brokering the acquisition deal.
"I definitely can't take this money, and I also advised Abacha not to take this money, but I only found out about it two days ago, and the agreement between Dongsheng and the Tubman family was signed, and the crushing plant was handed over. This money
It is impossible to return it to Dongsheng. I have been running around for the past two days, just discussing with Abacha whether to use this money to build a simple road between the Ibogu tribe and the northern suburbs of Draculamo...
"
"..." Song Yuqing looked at Cao Mo in surprise, "You really don't want to take this money?"
"How can I get this money?" Cao Mo straightened his chest and put on the posture of a good socialist young man. But since the lie had begun, he couldn't explain to Song Yuqing at this time that he could actually get on this simple road.
Benefit more, "I provide services to the Felician family. Although the money is hard to earn, every penny is clean..."
If it were Song Yuqing, she wouldn't take the money, so she didn't think there was any flaw in Cao Mo's words, and asked curiously: "On this matter, can you just discuss it with Abacha? No need to
Are you rushing back to Draculamore at this point?"
"If I don't take the money, I have to convince Abacha to donate it together without taking the money. Do you think it's easy to convince him?"
Although Song Yuqing still held her hands in front of her chest, it had a squeezing effect and lowered the neckline of her nightgown a lot. Cao Mo was half standing and half sitting leaning on the desk. Seeing the beautiful scenery, he couldn't hold back his saliva.
I had the urge to tell Song Yuqing about Abacha's situation in the Sika family.
"In order to convince him, I promised to do the whole thing in a glorious way, so that Abacha would have a chance to be proud of his family, so that he would not actually lose the money; when the road was repaired, I also planned to help them build it.
A cement factory and a hydropower station will allow them to obtain more affordable benefits from this road - I am now considered Sika, the senior advisor of the Felician family..."
"How can I be glorious?" Song Yuqing asked curiously.
"On the way back, I talked to Zhou Jianmin on the phone, thinking that the money would first be donated by the Tubman family to the consulate, and then the consulate would donate it to build roads and bridges in the Longta area - Abacha stepped in to coordinate this process.
It can win him a huge reputation in the Longta area. Zhou Jianmin agreed in principle, but he said he wanted to ask for instructions on how to do this. I will rush back and meet with Zhou Jianmin tomorrow morning, "Cao Mo
Said, "I have also said hello to Yang Deshan about this matter - of course, in front of Yang Deshan and Zhou Jianmin, I will only say that the money is from Abacha's high ideological level, and will not mention my share... Yang Deshan has no objection.
, they were traveling back and forth from Draculamore to the Jonai Gold Mine, and they also suffered from the lack of such a simple road. He probably would have said hello to Zhou Jianmin in private to prevent something from being revealed."
"..." Song Yuqing stood up, stretched, and said, "You must be worried that your words are not strong enough in front of Zhou Jianmin, so you dragged Yang Deshan along, right?"
Cao Mo chuckled and asked, "When did Sister Yuqing become so smart?"
"Have I ever been stupid?" Song Yuqing raised her smooth chin proudly, glanced at Cao Mo, and said, "I'm going to bed. If I wake up late tomorrow, I'll have dark circles..."
Song Yuqing returned to the room, and Cao Mo went over the matter again.
The reason why he greeted Yang Deshan was that Yang Deshan was still easier to use than him in front of Zhou Jianmin.
This is not to say that Yang Deshan participated in the investment in the Qionai Gold Mine, but that Yang Deshan boasted rather fiercely within the group.
After the successful acquisition of the Tubman family's crushing business, Dongsheng officially proposed an investment intention of investing US$200 million to build an oil palm planting and crushing base in Kanem.
Even if this is just an intention or an exaggeration, as the largest investment project that a Chinese-funded enterprise may have implemented in Kanem so far, it is enough to attract the attention of all parties.
The consulate attaches great importance to it, and the top person in charge of Dongsheng who can directly contact Dracula Mo is Yang Deshan.
The heads of the consulate were all smiling when they saw Yang Deshan at this time; Zhou Jianmin would not neglect Yang Deshan.
Of course, Cao Mo greeted Yang Deshan mainly because he did not want to ask Song Yuqing to come forward and ask Zhou Jianmin to facilitate this matter.
…………
…………
Early the next morning, Zhou Jianmin called Zhou Jianmin and asked Cao Mo to meet at the China Business Center.
After Cao Mo arrived, Zhou Jianmin introduced the counselor in charge Yang Xu and the general manager of the China Business Center Mo Wenjun to Cao Mo.
"I was in Lonta, providing some technical consulting for the Felician family's business, so I got to know Mr. Abacha - Dongsheng wanted to acquire a crushing plant in Canem, and I asked Mr. Abacha to recommend a suitable candidate.
, finally contacted the Tubman family and facilitated this exchange transaction. A few days ago, Mr. Abacha came to me and said that the Tubman family would pay him a reward for the matchmaking. Mr. Abacha is a moral person in Lonta.
A noble official, he is unwilling to put this money into his personal pocket and wants to use it for road construction in Lonta. However, if the money is donated directly to Lonta by the Tubman family, and because someone in Lonta knows
Mr. Abacha's deal-making, even if it is a good thing, will inevitably lead to questions about his reputation. Abacha hired me as his personal senior adviser, hoping that the money would be donated to Lonta in the name of the consulate.
place……"
Cao Mo sat down and repeated the speech he had compiled yesterday to Yang Xu and Mo Wenjun.
Yang Xu and Mo Wenjun had naturally heard Zhou Jianmin repeat these words, but they did not doubt Cao Mo's statement. They were actually quite surprised by Abacha's decision.
They have been stationed in Dracula for three or four years, and they know the character of local officials very well - even the China Business Center, a semi-official structure representing the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation of China, is occasionally visited by Dracula.
Motorcycle law enforcement came to the door to extort money.
There are actually honest local officials who want to donate this income that can be said to be "legal" in Kanem?
Yang Xu and Mo Wenjun were not in a hurry to speak, but Zhou Jianmin introduced the consulate's internal views on the matter.
After he received Cao Mo's call last night, Yang Xu, the leader in charge, made a report as soon as possible.
The working area and living area of the consulate are all together. Leaders and ordinary staff have been stationed overseas for many years. The special working and living environment makes them get along very harmoniously. There is no hierarchy like domestic government agencies, and matters can be discussed and handled casually and quickly without rigidity.
The consulate had an internal discussion last night. They felt that there was nothing wrong with getting involved in this matter, but for the specific handling, the consulate advocated that the China Business Center, which has business operations and economic powers, directly contact the Oyo State government.
connection.
Even if the country of Kanem is not considered poor and small, the consulate and the China Business Center have to deal with official affairs mainly at the local state government level or in heavyweight cities like Draculamore.
Longta is still too inconspicuous.
"Then I will convey it to Mr. Abacha now and see what he means?" Cao Mo said.
He is still worried that if he directly contacts the Oyo State Government on this matter, he will be skinned by the state government, but even if he is skinned, it is better than not being able to do it...
