"Can the dam construction start in the next two days?"
Abacha had not been to Ibo Kulai for two days. Unexpectedly, all kinds of engineering equipment from the China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation's branch in Cardiff had been transported to the construction site. Only then did he realize that the Chinese were very efficient in doing things, and Cao Mo was not the only one.
people.
"The project construction plan still needs to be re-evaluated by experts from China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation. If there are no adjustments, construction can start in the next two days," Cao Mo said.
He doesn't have much money in hand now, but the Sika and Felician Family Building Materials Company produces more than 100 tons of cement every day, which is in short supply and can collect more than 40,000 US dollars in cash every day, which is enough to ensure the rapid construction of the hydropower station.
and the demand for imported equipment during the same period.
The previous pretense towards Da Xika was forced by the situation, and Cao Mo has always wanted to be a kind person, so when he saw Da Xika, he was quite polite and shabby. In addition to introducing Song Yuqing, he also took charge of the construction of the hydropower station.
Someone came over to introduce the situation of the hydropower station.
The person in charge of the construction has a very real name, Liang Siqian. He is only 26 years old and is also from Xinhai. After graduating from Xinhai University with a major in road and bridge engineering, he applied for a job with China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation and was sent to Kanem.
It lasted five years.
Liang Siqian was tanned and thin by the scorching sun in Kanem, and he was inconspicuous. He had already participated in the construction management of several different types of project construction in Kanem.
In the past two years, Liang Siqian has been in Draculamo, mainly involved in the contract construction of Draculamo's new natural gas power plant.
China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation took over this power plant under the bt model, which means that China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation will raise funds and be responsible for all construction. After completion, it will be handed over to the Municipal Government of Draculamo to collect the money and leave.
China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation can also be said to be a victim of this cement storm. The construction period is written in the contract. It is also currently restricted by the ban and cannot import finished cement from China. It can only be forced to purchase local high-priced cement for construction.
Have to bear a lot of extra losses.
Their company in Cardiff was finally happy to proceed with the hydropower station project, mainly because they saw that the Ibogu Cement Plant could become a stable supplier of building materials for them.
Liang Siqian was young, and the Yibogu Hydropower Station was also his first independent management project. He was very motivated. Cao Mo contacted the China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation's branch in Cardiff a month ago, and it was Liang Siqian who was in charge of the contact.
Although the contract was not negotiated at the initial stage, he actively participated in the adjustment of Wendy Scarf's engineering design plan and helped contact the company's experts for evaluation. Therefore, after the contract was signed, Cao Mo did not raise any issues.
Picking and picking, there is no worry that Liang Siqian's lack of management experience will cause some unnecessary losses.
At this time, Abacha also directly explained the purpose of his uncle Onika's personal visit this time.
The Lonta area actually has its own power plant and power grid company, the full name of which is Lonta Sika Aide Electric Power Company. The Sika family is even one of the founders of Sika Aide Electric Power Company and holds 12% of the shares in it.
of shares.
Oyo State has average coal resources and no oil resources, but it is quite rich in natural gas resources.
The annual power generation capacity of the natural gas power plant under the name of Lungasica Edete Electric Power Company may be equivalent to that of the Ibogu Power Station after its completion, but the power supply scope is limited to citizens within a dozen square kilometers of the town, and there is no industry.
The actual annual power generation capacity may be only one-third of the designed scale of Ibogu Hydropower.
The price of power supply in Draculamore City is extremely high, with residential and industrial electricity consumption almost four to five times that of China. However, this is due to the dense urban population of Draculamore and the industrial scale of nearly 60% of the entire country of Kanem.
decided.
The price of municipal electricity in Lonta town is relatively low, there is serious overcapacity, aging power generation equipment, poor management, high costs of small-scale natural gas extraction, and the electricity consumption of residents within the town is quite limited.
Te Electric Power Company has been operating at a low profit in recent years.
And with such a low annual power generation scale, there is certainly no ability to build a high-voltage power line network and sell the generated electricity to Draculamore City so that the excess production capacity can be used.
But even in this case, Lungasika Aidet Electric Power Company is still worried about the impact it will have on them after the completion of the Ibogu Hydropower Station.
Dasika came here this time to express their concerns in this regard tactfully.
Dasika is humble enough to have such an attitude.
To be honest, Abacha came forward to get the construction permit for the hydropower station.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for the Lonta Municipal Committee to give the green light due to the obstruction of people like Dasika.
And even if the Ibogu Hydropower Station can be constructed directly on the land of the Felician family, just think about the trouble that people like Dasika will cause them, and you will understand how complicated the situation will be then.
"Mr. Onika, there is really no need to worry about you. I serve the Felician family and will always strictly abide by the laws of your country. If Mr. Onika is still worried, since Mr. Felician entrusted me to run Felician
An Family Electric Power Company, on behalf of the company, I can sign a formal agreement with Sika Aide Electric Power Company, stipulating that the power supply scope of the Ibogu Hydropower Station is only within the Ibogu tribe. Of course, if Sika Aide Electric Power Company is willing to invest in the construction
A high-voltage line is connected from the Ibogu tribe, and the excess electricity produced by Felician Family Electric Power Company can be sold to Sika Aidet Electric Power Company at an agreed price..." Cao Mo said generously.
To be honest, the largest tributaries in the upper reaches of the Lukaku River are located in the northern area of Longta. The potential of exploitable hydropower resources is not small. However, the problem is that once the hydropower resources are developed, they must be sold to be profitable.
Cao Mo can invest in building a hydropower station within the Yibogu tribe in the name of the Felician family. The cooperation agreement can clearly state that the dam and power generation equipment built are all equipment leased by the company under his name to the Felician family power company.
facilities to ensure that the rights and interests he possesses will not change.
For the Sika and Felician family building materials companies, the cooperation agreement also clarifies that all buildings and equipment, including factories and equipment foundations, are leased under Cao Mo's name.
However, Cao Mo still didn't think about building a high-voltage transmission grid.
In addition to the huge initial investment, the construction of high-voltage transmission grids also involves legal procedures such as land acquisition, which is much more complicated than directly contracting land from the Ibogu tribe.
The transmission network construction in the Myonta area is obviously monopolized by Sika Aidet Electric Power Company.
They want to prevent the direct construction of a high-voltage transmission grid from Ibogu to Draculamo. If they send people to cut the cables directly, Cao Mo will not be able to file a lawsuit with them!
If possible in the future, all Cao Mo can do is to lure Sika Aidet Electric Power Company or others to invest in building a transmission network, and he can concentrate on building power stations on the upstream side.
Cao Mo was willing to directly sign a binding agreement to reassure Da Sika and other investors of Sika Aidet Electric Power Company. He also hoped that he could live in peace with the local government in the future and avoid being secretly stumbling as much as possible.
Life has to be tough.
"Mr.cao is really reasonable." Dasika also did not miss the opportunity to express her praise and thanks.
Da Sika is the head of the Sika family and has been running the family's palm plantations for many years. His ideological stubbornness and conservatism are mainly to consolidate the political status and power of his great chief in Lonta and do not want to be defeated by Kanem.
The current democratic political atmosphere has impacted him, but it does not mean that he has no economic acumen.
The construction cost of high-voltage power grid is too high. After the high-voltage power grid is completed, the annual power generation scale of hydropower stations and natural gas power plants needs to be increased by ten or even dozens of times to be profitable.
All in all, such a large scale of investment is simply not something that the indigenous families in the Lonta area can afford.
This time he came here and could negotiate that the power supply range of the Felician Family Electric Power Company would not exceed the limit. Even if it was successful, he would not want to do anything else at all.
Of course, Dasika might want to build a line to sell the electricity from Sika Aide Electric Power Company to cement plants, but Cao Mo is not stupid either.
The industrial electricity sold by Sika Adette Electric Power Company is cheaper than Draculamo, but one kilowatt-hour of electricity is equivalent to 25 cents in RMB.
The Sika Felician Building Materials Company is operating at full capacity, consuming 10 million kilowatt-hours of electricity a year, and the electricity bill is US$2.5 million. The cost is not much cheaper than using diesel generators directly, and he still makes a profit.
money?
He is now gritting his teeth to build a hydropower station, and does not even care about the excess profit of 1,400 to 500 tons of cement in the early stage. That is because after the hydropower station is completed, the comprehensive power generation cost will be evenly distributed, and each kilowatt hour of electricity will not cost more than four cents in the end.
In terms of energy consumption alone, there is a huge difference.
At that time, even if he is a bit evil and sells the electricity from the hydropower station for twelve or three cents per degree, this alone can directly reduce the actual annual comprehensive energy consumption cost of Sika Felician Building Materials Company by half.
After an appointment was made for the signing of the agreement, Dasika said that he was coming this time and wanted to ask the Chinese construction manager Liang Siqian to go to the construction site of the two simple cement bridges currently being built to help take a look.
Da Sica was extremely concerned about the construction of the Lonta-Daculamo road, and he was ultimately willing to donate US$10,000. In addition to being a municipal councilor and chairman of the Lonta Road and Municipal Construction Committee, he also saw that this road would
The Sika family has benefited a lot.
With the completion of the Lunta-Degulamo road, the oil palm fruits from the Sika family plantation can be sold directly to the crushing factory in Deculamo. Compared with selling to the crushing factory in Catero, the capital of Oyo State, the oil palm fruits are not only sold
The price can be slightly increased and the transportation cost of more than 130 kilometers can be saved.
How did Dasika know that the construction of the Lonta-Daculamo Highway was entirely driven by Cao Mo, and he was more eager than him to build the two cement bridges faster and with higher quality?
Abacha encouraged him to come forward and ask for help, and Cao Mo readily agreed. Da Xika naturally felt that he owed Cao Mo another favor...
Everyone got on the bus and headed to the bridge construction site. Song Yuqing also followed to watch the fun, sat next to Cao Mo, and said with a smile: "Osika came here today, it seems you and Abacha are colluding to act!"
"Sister Yuqing, you are so smart, have you noticed all this?" Cao Mo asked with a smile.
"I'm not stupid!" Song Yuqing said angrily.
"Okay, Sister Yuqing, don't be angry. The worst that can happen is that I'll let you sign the supply agreement for the Sika family..." Cao Mo said.
"You really want me to take advantage of this?" Song Yuqing asked with her eyes wide open.
"Sister Yuqing, you can take advantage of me, but I will never struggle," Cao Mo said.
"Go, who wants to take advantage of you!" Song Yuqing rolled her eyes at Cao Mo angrily, and then asked, "What will you do if you give me the Sika family agreement?"
Dongsheng will soon launch the second phase expansion of the Tubman crushing plant. The annual palm oil crushing scale will be increased to 20,000 tons. Then whether it is a direct acquisition or a supply agreement, it must ensure that the crushing plant has a total area
Oil palm fruit supply capacity reaches 100,000 acres of palm plantations.
The team led by Wang Jianzhong is specifically responsible for the expansion and operation of the crushing plant. In addition, it is the responsibility of the West Africa branch.
This is also the main work that Yang Deshan and Guo Jian are busy with recently.
As the financial director, Song Yuqing has no hard targets, but if she can sign a supply agreement, the company will give some rewards, right?
However, Song Yuqing did not have a hard target. As the deputy manager of the administrative and human resources department, Cao Mo had to share this task.
"The Longde Simple Highway has been completed, are you still worried that you won't be able to sign more supply agreements?" Cao Mo smiled nonchalantly, "Look, although the money for the road construction was actually paid by Dongsheng, Dongsheng
Sheng did not suffer a loss, right? By the way, Sister Yuqing, you are responsible for customs clearance, transportation and other procedures. Are there any other domestic oil and grain merchants who want to import palm oil from Kanem?"
"What, you don't want to eat too much and compete with Dongsheng in the palm oil import business?" Song Yuqing asked warily, "Why are you doing things with a hammer and a cane here and there? You want to do everything, you
Which one can you do well in the end?”
"Xie Sipeng, Yang Deshan and others imported cement to Kanem. Although they were not very successful, their ideas were right and worth learning from," Cao Mo said. "I was thinking, if I make some money in Kanem,
Directly transferred to the country, naira is settled with US dollars, and US dollars are settled with RMB. The exchange loss is several points. If I use the money earned by Kanem to purchase palm oil and import it into the country, not only will I not have to suffer exchange losses, but I will also
Wouldn’t it be nice to make extra money from the palm oil trade?”
"How much money can you make just thinking about this?" Song Yuqing asked doubtfully.
"Although it's not much, wouldn't it be better if there were more?" Cao Mo said.
"There are only a few large grain and oil merchants that import large quantities of palm oil in the country and sell them in packages. If you only sell three to five hundred tons of palm oil a year, they will not cooperate with you - bulk goods like yours,
Cargo inspection is very troublesome," Song Yuqing said.
"Is it possible to tell the company directly that I registered a trading company in Draculamo to purchase oil palm fruits, and then sell the oil palm fruits to the crushing factory, but the payment will be settled in RMB domestically?" Cao Mo asked.
"Dongsheng actually encourages employees to start their own businesses," Song Yuqing, who has more contact with senior management and is more familiar with Dongsheng's policies than Cao Mo, said, "For example, with a trading company like the one you mentioned, the company may also have
Employees jointly invest and directly register in China, which is equivalent to Dongsheng handing over part of the related business to internal employees for contracting. However, for this kind of internal start-up company, Dongsheng needs to hold a certain share, and you can only acquire oil palm.
Part of the profits generated from the fruit will be transferred directly back to the country, but the part of the funds directly used to purchase the oil palm fruit should not be transferred to the country... Of course, unless you have connections at the top of the company and agree to register a sole proprietorship company to participate
The company’s trade chain! Just like this, you and the company have to be completely decoupled again, and this is no longer an internal entrepreneurship..."
"It's so complicated!" Cao Mo scratched his head and realized that he still couldn't fully consider the pros and cons...
"Of course, the company can let you take advantage of it at will?" Song Yuqing said with a smile, "If you don't have a lot of money, just exchange it honestly, it doesn't need to be so complicated - Mr. Yang and the others have almost 20 million this time
I wanted to transfer the funds to Kanem, but I just did this once, but I almost died in it..."
