After breakfast in the restaurant and returning to the room, Wang Wen also came back from the beach and was taking a shower in the bathroom.
Cao Mo didn't sleep for two hours at night, so he pulled up a quilt to catch up on his sleep. He fell asleep for a long time, and when he woke up he heard Song Yuqing and Wang Wen sitting in the room chatting.
"...Get up quickly, it's already twelve o'clock, we should check out." Seeing Cao Mo wake up, Wang Wen urged him.
"I just want to take a nap, why did I sleep for so long?" Cao Mo got up and went to the bathroom to wash up. When he heard Wang Wen slandering him behind his back again, he disappeared for a week. It must have been too hard to disturb the Atlantic Ocean.
After Song Yuqing and Wang Wen packed up their clothes, the three of them went to the hotel lobby to check out. When they met foreign friends in the corridor who looked at them with envy and admiration, Cao Moxin wanted to replace Wang Wen with Stari, which made him feel even better.
After getting in the car, Wang Wen wanted to pay the shared expenses to Cao Mo. Cao Mo waved his hand and continued to hold Yang Deshan and Guo Jian in front, and said to Wang Wen: "You don't want to talk nonsense in front of others about some things.
I will ask Mr. Yang privately for the small amount, and Mr. Guo and the others will reimburse it."
Wang Wen happily stuffed the money back into his bag and asked curiously: "What on earth are you doing outside? No wonder you all leave Draculamore every once in a while, and you can't be seen at the pressing plant.
.”
"Just take some private work and bring some equipment from China to Draculamo to sell. Some manufacturers in Kanem are too poor to afford the equipment, so we will rent it to them..." Cao Mo said nonsensically.
Rushing back to the dormitory, the electricity had not yet been supplied. Wang Wen couldn't help but wailed: "The promised Pearl of West Africa, Sahara Paris, has been without electricity for four days in a row. How can people survive?"
As he spoke, Wang Wen picked up the car keys on the table and took the car to turn on the air conditioner. Cao Mo didn't care about her anyway as she was burning the company's oil.
February in Kanem is the hot dry season. Relatively speaking, the rainy season after June is cooler. There is no air conditioning or electric fan. Wang Wen, who grew up in the city, is really not used to it.
Song Yuqing was also helpless. They had communicated with the community several times, but they just didn't agree with them finding a small piece of vacant land in the community to build a facility.
"The solution is for someone to come up with it. I'll find someone to drag a container back and put it on the lawn behind as an equipment room. If the community puts some small money in it, if there are still people who have suggestions, we'll just drag the container away..." Cao Mo also said
He couldn't bear the days of power outages. It didn't matter if there was no air conditioner or electric fan. When he turned on the computer, he couldn't do many things in Draculamore.
Draculamore is the largest seaport in West Africa. Not only Kanem, but also nearly 40% of the maritime transportation of the sixteen countries in West Africa is concentrated in Draculamore.
In Draculamore, used containers are naturally plentiful and cheap.
Cao Mo didn't need him to run around. He directly ordered an old diesel generator from the equipment dealer he contacted daily, and asked the other party to help him drag an old container over.
In the afternoon, Cao Mo took Ade and Orlu to install the diesel generator and connect the wires and meters to the villa where they lived, plus some cables, meters and other accessories. The total cost was only six thousand US dollars.
When they installed the diesel generator and connected the wiring, many tenants from the community came to watch.
Cao Mo is not a bad person. If anyone wants to connect the wiring, the installation fee will be US$1,000, and the electricity bill will be calculated according to the meter. He will also sign a commitment letter prohibiting the use of high-power electrical appliances.
At night, the electricity supply had not yet been supplied, so Cao Mo had already received the installation fee of 6,000 US dollars. He was busy until late at night, connecting the electric wires and electric meters of the six tenants.
It's not that there aren't more tenants who want to connect to electricity, but the electricity demand that can be met by a 20-kilowatt old diesel generator is quite limited, and it has to be agreed in advance that each household can only use one air conditioner.
The West Africa branch rented three villas as dormitories. This time, Cao Mo paid for a diesel generator to connect the electricity. Naturally, he would not connect the other two villas. He had to wait for Yang Deshan and Guo Jian to come back from other places, saying
The branch company paid an installation fee of US$3,000, and Cao Mocai connected the other two dormitories with electricity.
With Ade, Oru, and Cao Mo working hard until late at night, they arrived at the dormitory and saw Wang Wen happily blowing on the air conditioner in Song Yuqing's room.
"It's so easy to make money. You just worked for a day and got three thousand US dollars. How can you still make money after charging such a high electricity bill?" Wang Wen said with emotion.
"The mains electricity in Draculamore costs US$0.3 per kilowatt hour. I now use a diesel generator to generate electricity and hire a part-time electrician to maintain it. The electricity charge per kilowatt hour seems to be a little higher, but when there is a mains power supply,
My diesel generator needs to be idle for a while, so I can only sell electricity during peak periods, but the cost may not be even." Cao Mo complained bitterly, "If you think you are making a profit, then I will transfer this generator to you now.
, if you can make money on the electricity bill, it will all be yours?"
"Is this such a good thing?" Wang Wen asked doubtfully.
"Why don't you just take it over? Why don't you think about it and think about it before we talk?" Cao Mo threw the money he received onto Song Yuqing's dressing table and said,
"If we do this, there will definitely be people who will imitate the same. There will be containers in front of and behind the building, and the community will have objections. When the time comes, these containers will be cleared out - you should quickly take this money and find someone to go to the community.
Buy a small piece of land near Central Street in the north, and then you can move the containers there..."
Central Street is a newly built avenue near the strait in the West Bund District. Unlike domestic Xinhai City, where one acre of commercial land can easily cost tens of millions or even tens of millions of yuan, the commercial land price in Dracula Mo is quite cheap, and you can even dismantle the pieces and buy some small ones.
A piece of residential land.
Although it is not so cheap that the annual rent for hundreds of acres of farmland in the Lonta area does not cost one hundred dollars, buying a two- to three-hundred-square-meter residential land on Central Street in the north of the community should cost eight to nine thousand dollars.
Compared with domestic prices, this price can be said to be extremely cheap. The only limitation is that Dracula Mo currently only encourages locals to buy residential land and build houses on Central Street.
Land investment by foreigners or foreign enterprises in the urban area of Draculamore is subject to great restrictions. The land price will not be too high, but the total investment in building construction cannot be lower than a certain scale.
Taking into account the high prices of local building materials, if foreign-funded enterprises really want to invest in building a high-rise building on Central Street, the risk is not low, and there is no advantage to be taken.
Of course, Song Yuqing and the others bought a small piece of land entirely in the name of Lucy or Skaya, and they didn't have any extra funds to build a small villa. Anyway, they could just move the container there if necessary.
Seeing that Cao Mo had even considered this detail, Wang Wen became a little tempted and asked, "Sister Yuqing and I will take over. Will the profit from the electricity bill really belong to both of us?"
"How can I argue with you?" Cao Mo pouted. He had been busy for a whole day and had already made a net profit of three thousand US dollars. He really didn't care about the three melons and two dates left.
Besides, where does he have so much energy to spread over such small things?
In addition to finding a part-time electrician for maintenance, he also had to go door to door to collect electricity bills and hand them over to Wang Wen. He gave her such a small amount of money to earn and sealed her mouth at the same time.

In the next few days, Xie Sipeng wanted to invite Cao Mo to play a few games at the Jinyuan Casino, but Cao Mo declined.
Cao Mo was busy with the cement plant infrastructure and equipment installation, so where did he have time to get involved in their affairs? Besides, Xie Sipeng had bad intentions in dragging him to the casino.
The cement calcining shaft kiln is the most difficult and largest "big project" in the cement plant construction process. It is expected to take up to two months. With the installation of electrical equipment, etc., the cycle will be even longer.
Cao Mo thought of installing the generator set, booster electrical equipment and the second half of the grinding and packaging equipment first.
In this case, the cement clinker he hoarded in the early stage can be directly produced into bags of finished cement, which can further reduce the construction cost of the cement plant and allow the construction of hydropower stations to start earlier.
In China, this kind of practice is extremely irregular, but in Kanem, in Lonta, where most civilians don't have a new pair of trousers, how can there be so much care?
Of course, Cao Mo also followed the cement plant supervisor Wendy Scarfe and several electrical and mechanical assistant engineers who had just graduated from Oyo State College and had no practical work experience. They stayed at the site day and night, learning while constructing and installing.
.
Half a month later, the Kanem Federation Parliament formally reviewed the cement ban bill, and Cao Mo even made a special trip back to Draculamore.
After Cao Mo arrived at Draculamore, he contacted Xie Sipeng, who immediately invited everyone to have a dinner together.
Nowadays, everyone is somewhat wealthy and reluctant to visit higher-end restaurants. Lana Del Rey’s open-air seafood buffet restaurant does not have much scenery. With so many people eating a meal, three to four hundred US dollars is still within the tolerance range.
Anyway, Cao Mo didn't have to pay for it, so he wouldn't think it was expensive, and he even specially invited Abacha, who had been working on the construction of a simple cement bridge these days, to come over to help him.
Only then did Cao Mo learn that the Lana Del Rey Hotel had investment from the Tubman family.
Xu Sheng and Xu Ling's uncle and nephew are currently considered the main persons in charge of Qiao Nai Gold Mine. They are not able to escape easily and did not show up this time.
After all, Guo Jian is the HR and Administration Manager of the West Africa Branch. As Dongsheng intends to further invest in palm planting and crushing projects in Kanem after the completion of the early reconstruction and expansion of the Tubman crushing plant, his main energy has to follow.
Yang Deshan returned to Draculamore.
The West African branch not only acquires the Tubman family's crushing plant and the oil palm fruits produced from the Tubman family's plantations, Dongsheng also needs to build a second phase of the crushing plant and also needs to purchase part of the construction land from the Tubman family.
Next, Dongsheng will also consider purchasing large-scale palm plantations directly from Draculamo to ensure the supply of raw materials with an annual production capacity of 20,000 tons after the completion of the second phase of the crushing plant. Yang Deshan also specially hired Little Tubman as the West African branch to work here.
consultants.
They first went to the Lana Del Rey Hotel and waited for a while, then Xie Sipeng and Yang Deshan went to the lobby to greet little Tubman.
This time I didn't see Stali, but I saw Xie Sipeng, Yang Deshan and little Tubman and his wife coming over happily talking to each other. Cao Mo knew that Xie Sipeng, Yang Deshan, had been in contact with little Tubman for more than half a month, no.
Do you know how they secretly planned to target the Tubman family?
Of course, if the Tubman family business is destined to lose little by little from Tubman's hands, Yan Zhicheng, Xie Sipeng and even Yang Deshan want to take a bite of him. Of course, Cao Mo has no objection, but he doesn't want to get involved.
