At the dinner table, Cao Mo was chatting with Stari, Song Yuqing, and Wang Wencou, while Yang Deshan, Xu Sheng, and Xie Sipeng were chatting with little Tubman. Guo Jian and Zhang Min were sitting on both sides respectively, helping to translate.
No one paid attention to Xu Ling. His English level may not be enough to understand normal English communication, let alone help translate. However, he is the most junior and has no chance to intervene in the topic of Yang Deshan and others, Cao Mo, and Stari.
and Song Yuta ignored him.
He just happened to chat with Wang Wen, who was sitting opposite him.
Somehow, little Tubman talked about the fact that Abacha was investing in building a cement factory for the Sika and Felician families. It was obvious that little Tubman didn't know the specific situation. Both Yang Deshan and Xie Sipeng both came to the meeting.
Cao Mo looked over.
Intuitively, Yang Deshan and Xie Sipeng were very concerned about the incident that little Tubman mentioned casually. Cao Mo couldn't help but wonder, could it be that they had also found a place and were planning to invest in building a cement plant?
Yang Deshan wanted to say something, but his intuition told Cao Mo that Xie Sipeng made a small gesture at the table, telling Yang Deshan to stop talking and simply asked: "Cao Mo, do you know this?"
The annual cement demand gap in Kanem is three to four million tons. Even if Yang Deshan and Xie Sipeng are interested in investing in building a small cement plant with a scale of tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of tons in Kanem, there is no direct relationship between them.
Competition, Cao Mo shrugged and said nonsense:
"Of course I understand. Mr. Abacha and Mr. Felician Jr. also asked me to help them contact the purchase of related equipment. I have just helped them contact several manufacturers of ball mills from China and are currently making inquiries.
...Now the price of cement in Kanem is so high that it feels like robbery. Abacha is considered a very economically minded person locally, and Kanem officials do not prohibit business. He invested in cement in Lonta
The factory is really very discerning. Unfortunately, I don’t have much money left. If I really had money, I would transport a cargo of cement from China and sell it. I would definitely make a fortune.”
Cao Mo didn't talk much to Little Tubman, Yang Deshan, and Xie Sipeng all night, because he didn't want to have anything to do with Xie Sipeng and Yan Zhicheng behind him. But when he said this, he mainly wanted to test what Xie Sipeng had just secretly done.
What to say to stop Yang Deshan.
Sure enough, when Cao Mo mentioned his intention to import cement from China to Kanem, his intuition told him that the hearts of the two young turtles, Xie Sipeng and Yang Deshan, accelerated a little bit.
They have been slow to invest further in mining equipment in Qionai Gold Mine. It is not that they have not collected the money, but after collecting the funds domestically, they directly purchased a batch of cement and exported it to Kanem for sale?
What a thief businessman!
Domestic control over foreign exchange is relatively strict. Unless a company is like Dongsheng, ordinary people can raise a sum of RMB funds domestically and want to convert it into US dollars. It is not impossible to wire transfer to Kanem, but the procedure will be more troublesome.
There are also various fees.
The best way is to purchase equipment and materials directly from China and ship them to Kanem. This will not only avoid the hassle of procedures, but also save a lot of exchange losses.
Kanem is rich in gold, and there is no small equipment. However, the large and medium-sized mining equipment is quite complete, and there is even a lot of second-hand equipment that has been eliminated from European and American companies.
If the Qiao Nai Gold Mine has sufficient rock gold reserves, the next complete set of equipment will cost approximately one to two million US dollars.
With the social resources of Xie Sipeng, Yang Deshan, and Xu Sheng, it would be easy to raise this amount of money domestically. Even Xie Sipeng's personal net worth is more than this amount. However, by converting the money into U.S. dollars and then wired it to Kanem to purchase second-hand mining equipment,
No matter how you think about it, it's a bit of a disadvantage.
Use this money to purchase a batch of cement from China, export it and ship it to Draculamo, and then sell it to the cement importers and subpackers in Draculamo. Not only can you exchange it into US dollars, but you can also make huge profits from the cement trade.
It's really smart to make a fortune.
Cao Mo thought that he needed to study this carefully.
In the past, he had thought about converting the smelted gold into US dollars, but he had never thought that he could directly purchase materials from Kanem and transport them back to the country for sale. In fact, he only needed to register two companies to transfer the gold mines continuously.
The profits are transferred back to the country, and you can even earn an additional trade difference.
This is really a very shrewd and ingenious idea, but do the two turtles Xie Sipeng and Yang Deshan know that the Kanem Federal Parliament will review the proposal to ban cement imports in half a month?
Has the cement they purchased from China been shipped out of the port? How long will it take for it to arrive at the Port of Draculamo for customs declaration?
If after the bill is passed and comes into effect, the cement they transport to Dracula Motor cannot be declared through customs, it will be a lot of fun!
"What are you laughing at?" Starlie asked in a low voice in Yoruba.
"Am I laughing?" Cao Mo thought to himself that he was very concerned about the change in his face. He didn't expect that Stali could also be very meticulous in looking at people. It seemed that her Texas Hold'em skill was not bad. He said in a low voice, "I'm laughing at them.
Mr. Tubman is acting like a big fat sheep, and little Mr. Tubman is still talking and laughing without any awareness!"
Seeing Stari's gloomy face, Cao Mo felt a sense of schadenfreude in his heart.
"Are you particularly gloating about others' misfortunes?" Stari glanced at Cao Mo and asked.
Cao Mo was shocked, this girl also has telepathic intuition?
Fortunately, Stari's next words dispelled Cao Mo's doubts:
"My brother is very gullible. After all, his character is somewhat arrogant. Cassia is not a qualified wife, but he is fascinated by it..."
Cassia is sitting next to little Tubman, a charming French wife like a Persian cat. Starlie is very dissatisfied with her sister-in-law.
Cao Mo could also see that Cassia was very willing to flirt with old men like Xie Sipeng and Yang Deshan, but Cao Mo didn't know what other aspects of Cassia dissatisfied Stari.
After all, he can't read minds.
Maybe Cao Mo's answer satisfied Yang Deshan, or maybe Xie Sipeng's secret obstruction played a role. Yang Deshan just asked this question about the cement factory and then abruptly branched off to other topics.
After dinner, Song Yuqing and Wang Wen stayed at the Lana Del Rey Hotel, enjoying a deluxe garden view room for US$150 a night.
If Yang Deshan and the others hadn't appeared, Cao Mo would have stayed in the same room with Song Yuqing, Wang Wen and the others. Even if he didn't do anything, it would have been a pleasant night's sleep. But now he could only drive back to the dormitory and get into the stuffy room.
Suffering inside.
…………
…………
There was no electricity until the next morning, so Cao Mo finally managed to get some sleep. After waking up from the heat early in the morning, he couldn't fall back asleep. It was too uncomfortable to stay in the dormitory like a pot, so he went to sleep.
We drove back to the Lana Del Rey Hotel.
Wang Wen went to the beach early in the morning, and Song Yuqing opened the door to Cao Mo with relaxed eyes.
By the time she realized that the suspender nightgown she was wearing was very loose and she covered her breasts and ran into the bathroom to change clothes, Cao Mo was already in a state of bliss.
In the hot weather of Kanem, it is really enjoyable to have the cool breeze blowing from the air conditioner. There is also a computer in the room.
To be honest, the local media in Kanem had reported on the bill to ban cement imports for a long time. Cao Mo only noticed this after hearing Abacha mention it, and he also reflected on it afterwards.
Although Cao Mo speaks English quite fluently, he has no problem communicating with the locals in Yoruba.
Even if he has no problem reading and translating English materials, it is still not an easy mental task.
And his mother tongue and real habitual language are Chinese, and he has not yet been able to use English for pleasure and leisure reading.
The most direct result is that he is repelled by local newspapers and websites, and does not pay much attention to the information on them.
Even when surfing the Internet, he habitually opens Chinese websites.
When it is necessary to consult relevant English information, I also directly search professional websites.
This also led to his serious lack of attention to and acceptance of local information in Kanem.
I believe Xie Sipeng, Yang Deshan is making the same mistake, even more serious than him.
Cao Mo now especially hopes that the cement purchased by Yang Deshan and Xie Sipeng from China will be shipped out to sea, and then they will float on the sea for a few more days, and then arrive at Dracula Mo after the prohibition bill takes effect. That will really make him gloat for a while.
Already.
"What are you laughing at? It's so weird? Are you reading some unhealthy website?" Song Yuqing had taken a shower and changed into a long dress with red spots and white bottom. She was rubbing her long hair with a towel and asked against the wall.
Cao Mo.
"It's nothing, I thought of something good," Cao Mo turned sideways and said, "I'll help you rub your hair."
"There is a hair dryer in the room." Song Yuqing rubbed her long hair for a long time, then opened the small cabinet next to her, took out a hair dryer, and walked to the bathroom to find a socket to dry her hair.
For the sake of dryness, convenience and hygiene, Cao Mo got used to shaving his head after arriving at Dracula Motor. He washed his hair and wiped it with a towel twice. It could be dried in a short while. He browsed the web and listened to the buzzing of the hair dryer in the bathroom for a while.
There was a loud noise, and I walked over and saw Song Yuqing still blowing her hair with her head tilted, and her hand was sore holding the hair dryer.
"I'd better help you."
Cao Mo walked over and took the hair dryer, while Song Yuqing lifted half of her hair away.
He looked in the mirror at Song Yuqing's beautiful, rosy face and slender white neck after taking a shower. Her chest was raised high and rising and falling slightly.
Song Yuqing deliberately avoided his eyes and fiddled with the cosmetics on the sink with her small hands.
At this time, Cao Mo became more and more aware that he should maintain clear boundaries with married women, but he felt more and more the temptation that was hard to control.
Song Yuqing couldn't bear the ambiguous atmosphere. After a while, without waiting for her hair to dry, she pulled out the plug and said, "Blowing too dry will damage your hair - let's go have breakfast. Wang Wen guessed that you would come over early in the morning, so he specially
Let me give you her breakfast. The little girl is usually very carefree, but she still knows how to care for others..."
