(Thanks to the new leader Bajiezhu for his generous support, there will be an additional chapter tonight...)
Tomorrow morning we have to rush to the Sika family plantation to visit. At twelve o'clock, the card game will end and everyone will go back to their rooms or go back to rest.
After a day of contact, Shen Ji also recognized Cao Mo's current contact with officials and plantation owners in the Longta area. Wang Jianzhong had no way to raise issues. The specific supply agreement can be postponed by the branch for negotiation, but tomorrow afternoon You can go to the Lonta City Hall first and start the donation ceremony.
Fifty thousand US dollars and four hundred thousand RMB are just public relations expenses for Dongsheng Group.
Since Lu Yan showed a strong interest in this investment, Xie Sipeng naturally wanted to strike while the iron was hot. He also wanted to create opportunities to have more contacts and build relationships even if there was no chance. He also made an appointment to invite Ma Bin and other Chinese businessmen to Lonta tomorrow. Let’s see what investment opportunities there are in Lonta.
After returning to the dormitory, Cao Mo just got out of the car when Yang Deshan called him from behind and discussed with him: "Is it necessary to invite President Mo and Counselor Yang to attend the donation ceremony tomorrow?"
Before getting on the bus, I saw Xie Sipeng and Yang Deshan whispering privately, and I guessed it was Xie Sipeng's idea.
It was clear that he was using the identities of Mo Wenjun and Yang Xu as bargaining chips to eliminate Lu Yan's hesitation.
In many domestic business industries, they are also accustomed to attracting officials for endorsement. Whether it is Xie Sipeng or Yang Deshan, they still have this habit when they go to Kanem. They also believe that this will also play a correspondingly large role for Lu Yan. .
Cao Mo really didn't want to get involved in their affairs, but if Mo Wenjun and Yang Xu went to Longta together tomorrow, the things involved would be more complicated.
Cao Mo thought for a while and said: "Mr. Mo, Counselor Yang, you may not know Yan Zhicheng - Mr. Yang, you have to weigh it yourself. I am a small person, so what can't be mixed with him?"
Cao Mo said it tactfully, but he also told Yang Deshan clearly that he wanted to invite Mo Wenjun and Yang Xu to participate, but Yan Zhicheng had to avoid it - let alone Mo Wenjun and Yang Xu, even if Abacha wanted to be in Kanai Mu's political world has further development, and it is not appropriate to have too close contact with people like Yan Zhicheng in public places.
"I will tell Lao Xie." Yang Deshan would not hide that this was Xie Sipeng's idea, saying that he would confirm with Xie Sipeng before deciding whether to temporarily invite Yang Xu or Mo Wenjun to show their faces to make the scene more beautiful.
Song Yuqing and Wang Wen saw that Yang Deshan's attitude toward Cao Mo was a little strange. They walked towards Dormitory Building No. 2. Wang Wen also joked: "Cao Mo, you have established a relationship with Mr. Chen of the group, and Mr. Yang's attitude towards you is much more respectful." Ah, then we little people will have to rely on you to take care of us from now on..."
"If you can bring me a basin of washing water, I can think about it." Cao Mo said with a smile.
"Slap on your face." Wang Wen said arrogantly.

Cao Mo went upstairs and walked into the room with Song Yuqing respectively. He opened the door to the balcony and rushed into the room first when he heard Song Yuqing say: "Why are you always interested in other people's women? "
"Ah?" Cao Mo didn't understand why Song Yuqing asked this question. He looked over in surprise and saw her standing on the balcony holding a water glass. He realized that women are really sensitive sometimes. He secretly looked at the girl in jeans today. This time, I didn’t expect that it would all fall into Song Yuqing’s eyes.
"What does the word 'old' mean? Who else's woman am I interested in?" Cao Mo asked with a smile.
"Go away, don't get involved with me," Song Yuqing waved her hand in disgust, as if the fact that she was naked on someone's body last night didn't exist, and said, "Tonight, your eyes will be glued to Lu Yan's girlfriend.
Do you think others are blind and unable to see?"
"Ha, I am quite interested in this woman, but not the kind of interest you think." Cao Mo said with a smile.
"What is the kind of interest I thought? Then what is your interest?" Song Yuqing asked curiously, "Is there anything strange about Miss Zhou?"
"I don't know how Lu Yan hooked up with this person surnamed Zhou, and I can't explain some things clearly, but as far as I'm concerned, this person surnamed Zhou is far from just a gold digger that Lu Yan seduced somewhere - on the contrary
Yes, she is much smarter than she shows," Cao Mo asked, "Have you noticed that when we talked about casino investment, her several seemingly simple questions clearly guided Lu Yan?"
"Really? I just noticed that you always stare at others. There is nothing unusual about you." Song Yuqing suddenly thought of something and said doubtfully, "You mean this woman is acquainted with Xie Sipeng and Yan Zhicheng.
The whole thing?"
"They shouldn't know each other," Cao Mo shook his head and said, "Of course, no matter what her intentions are, it has nothing to do with us. A character like me will never appear in her recipe..."
"What the hell, do you think he is a professional fraudster?" Song Yuqing waved her hand in disgust, took the water glass and was about to go back to her room.
"It's hard to say? Do you know that there is a term in the international fraud world called Kanaim scam?" Cao Mo asked.
"Is there any other explanation?" Song Yuqing stopped and asked curiously.
"Kanem is the largest crude oil exporter in Africa, and there are a large number of crude oil and natural gas trading companies in Draculamo. In the 1970s and 1980s, international crude oil prices were hit hard. Kanem, especially Draculamo, has a large amount of crude oil and natural gas.
The trading company went bankrupt. The senior white-collar workers working for these companies could be said to be senior financial and trade talents in China at this time. After they lost their jobs, they turned to financial fraud. They were once so famous in Europe and the United States that the world later became accustomed to referring them to
Financial fraud is called the Kanem scam," Cao Mo said. "Draculamore's chaos is not just about violent crimes..."
"You shouldn't think that Miss Zhou is a fraudster from Draculamore, right?" Song Yuqing said disapprovingly.
"I'm just saying that in Draculamore, no matter how careful you are, you can never be too careful." Cao Mo said, spreading his hands.
"I don't believe anyone can deceive you - just go to sleep with you!" Song Yuqing said.
"Do you want to come to my room and take a shower today? To prevent you from falling, I can squat next to you and watch you take a shower." Cao Mo asked.
"Go." Song Yuqing's face turned red and she picked up the glass of water as if to pour it over.

The luncheon the next day was arranged at the Sika family's manor.
The car rented from the Lana Del Rey Hotel had no way to drive directly into Lonta, and the detour from Catero was too far and too time-consuming. Aba found a small boat, and the group was directly north of the Tubman family plantation.
Cross the river by boat, walk two kilometers from a plantation, then get in a vehicle arranged by Abacha on the other side of the river and drive to the Sika family estate.
Mo Wenjun, general manager of China Business Center, Yang Xu, consulate counselor, and Zhou Jianmin, secretary, were invited to attend.
They also accepted Shen Ji's impromptu decision to donate funds for road construction after arriving in Draculamore. They had no objections and were happy to facilitate this matter.
The Lonta-Daculamo simple road is also the first non-governmental donation charity project promoted by the consulate outside of the national aid projects in Africa. Naturally, they hope to do better and make it a landmark demonstration project and become a Chinese Witness to the friendship between the two peoples of Qatar.
Dracula Mo still has the atmosphere of a modern city. Staying at the Llano del Rey Hotel does not feel much worse than domestic high-end sea view hotels, and you can also enjoy the exotic customs. The overall quality of Lonta is much different.
Fortunately, there are many palm plantations in Lonta, with large and neatly planted palm trees, and the dense stubble is a very good scenery - the Sika family estate, although not as luxurious and rich as the Tubman family, is still very well-kept. .
Cao Mo also said hello beforehand, and even asked Potu to send the cook from the mine to Sika's house in advance to help prepare a barbecue feast that combined the Chinese style. Everyone had a great time.
Otherwise, Cao Mo was really worried that Dashika would be so enthusiastic about hosting a feast of roasted live monkeys, frightening everyone until their faces turned pale.
In addition to the Chinese businessmen invited by Dongsheng and Xie Sipeng for the barbecue banquet, Abacha also invited prominent figures in the Lonta area, plantation owners who were willing to sign supply agreements with Dongsheng, and even the number one figure in Oyo State, Governor Bray. Gram and Ochosan were invited to the manor.
As a scholar-type senior member of the Patriotic Construction Front, Ojosan has always had a good personal relationship with Blake. He can also be said to be one of Blake's staff. He also has a close relationship with the Oyo State political circles, but he has not directly participated in political elections for the state. Just a member of parliament.
However, the rule of Kanem's military government has just ended. Although the traditional bureaucratic power has not completely retreated, it is difficult to win the trust of the public. Scholar-type politicians are more supported by the public.
Blake was previously the principal of Oyo State College and came to power as a representative of Oyo State's opposition to military rule.
Of course, Brooke was extremely happy to learn that Dongsheng wanted to purchase large plantations and even contract large-scale land to plant oil palm trees in areas such as Lungta.
Except for some slight developments in the fields of oil and natural gas, Oyo State's overall development lags behind, and its ability to attract foreign investment is extremely weak. When I heard that hundreds of millions of dollars of funding may land in Oyo State, my gray hair was trembling with excitement. A trembling one.
In the afternoon, they arrived at the Longta City Hall, which was as simple as a domestic township auditorium in the 1960s and 1970s, to sign a donation agreement. Shen Ji, Lu Yan and his group could truly see the poverty of Longta, but Blake, Mo Wenjun, Yang Xu The presence of dignitaries made them feel that their trip was worthwhile.
Cao Mo and Yang Deshan also had a smooth exchange, and could even be said to have received full marks.
After the donation ceremony, some people left one after another, and Abacha warmly invited Shen Ji, Lu Yan and the others to live in the Sika family's manor.
Shen Ji's trip to Draculamore was considered to have been successfully completed at this time, but when he brought Lu Yan over, he also wanted to visit the mysterious African continent.
Speaking of fun, although the beach at Lana Del Rey Hotel has magnificent scenery, no matter how beautiful the waters of the Atlantic Ocean are, they are already commonplace in places like the Maldives.
What Abacha said about holding an AK47 and hunting in the primitive jungle or the vast African savannah is what really appeals to them - and besides beautiful women, what else can attract male animals more than an AK47? Excited?
Yang Deshan and Wang Jianzhong both pretended that they still had quite busy work to do in a hurry. Song Yuqing, who was in charge of logistics reception, roped in Cao Mo, together with Xie Sipeng, Ma Bin, Abacha, and Little Tubman, who were nearby. Under the strict protection of twenty armed bodyguards, they drove eight off-road vehicles, brought firearms, tents, food, and water, accompanied Shen Ji and Lu Yan, and entered the jungle in the north of Kanem to hunt...
