The moment Cao Mo pulled the trigger, Guo Jian and Song Yuqing both screamed in fear.
"Snapped!"
A wisp of flame burst out from the muzzle of the gun. Cao Mo curled his lips and blew on the flame of the gun-shaped lighter. Seeing the flame swaying by itself, he thought he was showing a domineering and arrogant smile with such a narrow and unruly smile, and said
,
"Manager Guo, how can I, a good and honest socialist young man like me, have a gun? Besides, I have just turned twenty, how can I think about spending the rest of my life in prison? Of course, you have to really
If you make me angry, I'll poke both of your eyes out. The maximum sentence in China is seven or eight years. If you behave well in prison, you can be released when you are about 24 or 25 years old. It will be really worth it..."
"You're really crazy!"
Although it was a false alarm, Song Yuqing was still so frightened that her heart was beating rapidly. At this time, her face turned pale with anger, she covered her erect chest, and cursed with extreme dissatisfaction.
Seeing that Song Yuqing was so frightened, Cao Mo dragged a chair to the dining table and said:
"Sister Yuqing, you just heard what Manager Guo said. I have been listening to him for more than a year, and I have never felt sorry for him. I heard from Kabuga that there are local people mining gold mines in Ibogu, and I think it may be an opportunity.
, he was the first to think of dragging him to see him. Look at him, he was just worried that I would return to Dracula Mo with one breath left and might tell you this secret, so he abandoned me in Ibogu Village. You are angry in your heart.
Aren't you angry? If I didn't tease him, wouldn't this secret loss mean that I would be mute and eat yellow lotus for the rest of my life, unable to express the pain in my heart? To be honest, if he hadn't thought of completely dumping me at this point,
On the other hand, I turned around to talk to Mr. Yang about cooperating in mining gold mines, and I didn’t even think about quarreling..."
Song Yuqing has not been to the Yibo Ancient Village gold mining site to see it, and she doesn't know what the specific situation is. However, in any case, Guo Jian left Cao Mo, who did not know whether he was alive or dead, in Yibo Ancient Village. He did have bad intentions. She
You can't blame Cao Mo for playing tricks on Guo Jian so hard at a young age.
Besides, although she was quite frightened, there was no murder case after all, so she thought it would be better to do less than to do more, and didn't want to say anything more.
Holding Song Yuqing steady, Cao Mo put the gun lighter on the table, looked at Guo Jian and said:
"Now we are even. If Manager Guo wants to call the police, please feel free to do so. I can hand over the physical evidence to you. I spent ten dollars to buy this lighter. I was quite distressed at the time. Don't say it, just look at it and give it back.
It’s like a real gun, otherwise it might not be able to scare the piss out of you, Manager Guo..."
Only then did Song Yuqing notice that Guo Jian's crotch was wet, and she didn't know what to say to comfort him.
"You, you..." Guo Jian was trembling with anger, endured the pain and reluctantly stood up, and asked bitterly, "Can I go upstairs now?"
"Manager Guo has legs on you, how else can I touch you?" Cao Mo asked with a smile.
Guo Jian was so angry that he gritted his teeth, and the anger in his eyes wanted to tear Cao Mo apart. He finally kicked over the garbage basket beside him, stared at Lucy and Kabuga hatefully, and then went upstairs.
Song Yuqing was somewhat at a loss.
We used to live under the same roof. Although everyone had some small calculations and even occasionally had minor conflicts, as colleagues sent overseas by the company, living under the same roof, they became harmonious after two days.
How will we deal with this situation now?
Thinking of this, Song Yuqing's head got bigger and she regretted applying to be transferred to the West Africa Branch.
Of course, in the past, in her eyes, Cao Mo was a handsome boy who was a bit wealthy but a bit weak in temper. But today, Cao Mo's appearance really shocked her, and she didn't even recognize the man in front of her at all.
Although Guo Jian admitted it in the end, how could he be so sure at such a young age that Guo Jian had bad intentions? How could he be sure that Guo Jian just sent Yang Deshan back to the China Business Center because he was determined to throw him away?
"Crack-crack!"
It seemed that Guo Jian returned to the building, picked up a lamp or a mirror and smashed it against the wall. There was a sound of glass shattering all over the floor.
Song Yuqing was frightened again. She was worried that Guo Jian couldn't control his impulse, picked up something and rushed downstairs to fight with Cao Mo.
Kabuga also looked at the stairs worriedly.
"Aka, you drive back first, nothing will happen." Cao Mo picked up the car keys from the dining table and asked Kabuga to drive back.
Cao Mo didn't worry about anything.
Guo Jian's eyes looked fierce and vicious when he went upstairs just now, but his almost telepathic intuition told him that Guo Jian was actually more worried about being dealt with by him again.
Now that he was running upstairs and smashing things, Cao Mo thought that he must be unwilling to do so on the one hand, but mainly to express his anger to make him appear less cowardly.
This principle is the same as the Northeastern people shouting at the top of their lungs, "What are you looking at? What are you looking at?"
"Sexy and soft" is probably a word specially customized for him.
He managed to survive, so now it's Guo Jiangou's turn?
Besides, if he really wanted to take action again, Guo Jian's small body might not be able to struggle away from Lucy's strong arms. Was Cao Mo afraid that he wouldn't be able to deal with him?
It was already getting late, so Cao Mo directly asked Kabuga to drive the car back. Guo Jian's broken rules, such as "the car must be parked in front of the villa before going home," should be broken again.
"I'm going upstairs to rest, I can't care about your business!" Song Yuqing hesitated for a while, then went upstairs first, making it clear that she didn't want to get involved.
Cao Mo took one look at Song Yuqing's plump and beautiful buttocks. He and Guo Jian fell out, and he didn't expect Song Yuqing to stand on his side.
Song Yuqing is not stupid.
Even without the temptation of the gold mine, he and Guo Jian are incompatible. Someone must leave the West Africa branch. Yang Deshan has the decision-making power. In the end, whether to keep him or Guo Jian, Song Yuqing can't guess?
…………
…………
After Song Yuqing went upstairs, Cao Mo pulled Lucy, who was not very clear about the situation but did not hesitate to help him, sat down at the dining table and told her the whole story of his falling out with Guo Jian.
A few days ago, Kabuga also overheard someone mentioning that there were locals mining gold mines in the northwest border area of Kanem. When Kanem came to the office, he only told Cao Mo as an interesting anecdote.
Guo Jian was also present at that time, and Cao Mo was not sure whether Guo Jian paid attention, but he wanted to borrow the branch company's car to rush to Yibogu to understand the situation, so he could not avoid Guo Jian.
At that time, he also thought that if he really wanted to do something in Draculamore, he could only ask Guo Jian to cooperate, so he encouraged Guo Jian to come together.
He applied to be posted overseas, and his salary plus overseas allowances tripled his income. However, when he dropped out of high school and joined the Dongsheng Group, his salary in China was only less than 3,000 yuan. Even if it tripled, he could barely reach the annual salary standard of 100,000 yuan.
Fortunately, the branch company was responsible for all his expenses in Draculamore. Plus some other income, he had only saved 20,000 US dollars in his hands over the past year or so.
For an ordinary person, a net savings of US$20,000 can be made in just over a year, which is already a pretty good income.
However, even if Dracula Mo wants to invest in something, this little money is still not enough.
Cao Mo and Guo Jiang had just entered Yibo Ancient Village. When they saw that except for the decent school, other residential buildings and even the chief's compound of the old chief Felician were quite simple, their hearts dropped.
What does it look like to own a gold mine that's being mined?
Guo Jian backed down at that time, while Cao Mo thought that since he was here, he would have to go to the gold mining site to take a look before he would give in.
After passing through the dense primitive jungle and seeing the local people's gold mining sites, Cao Mo finally understood why Yibo Ancient Village had gold mines but was still so poor.
On the one hand, the gold content of gold mines is low.
It is precisely because of the low gold content that the gold mines here did not attract the attention of European and American gold mining groups that entered Africa as early as the colonial era.
In addition, there is another very important reason. As Guo Jian said, the local gold mining technology is too primitive and backward.
When local people mine gold, they first use iron to drill a hole one to two meters deep into the rock wall containing gold sand, load it with explosives, and blast out a pile of stones containing gold sand; then they transport these stones back to the work shed.
, smash it bit by bit with a hammer, then use a traditional tool like a stone mill to grind the gravel into powder and then wash out the gold sand from it.
The only thing about the local gold mining process that looks a bit modern is the use of explosives.
Across the African continent, most industrial products are quite expensive because they need to be imported. The only guns and explosives are cheap and widely available.
Cao Mo just took out a gun-shaped lighter. Guo Jian and Song Yuqing were both shocked, but they did not suspect that the gun in his hand was fake. This is the reason.
In Draculamore, it is really not difficult to get a gun.
There are many people secretly selling guns in the streets of Dracula, just like a rural woman suddenly running out of a corner of a domestic train station and grabbing you in a sneaky way: "Brother, there is a new movie, Man and Beast, Suddenly
Fu Lai, would you like one?"
After seeing the gold mining site, Cao Mo fell ill without having time to communicate with Guo Jian.
However, Guo Jian graduated from a prestigious university majoring in engineering machinery and has been working in Dongsheng for four or five years.
After seeing the gold mining situation in Yibo Ancient Village, Cao Mo, who dropped out of high school and worked as a mechanic in a machine repair shop for less than two years, had a general idea for improvement. How could Guo Jian not think of it?
As Guo Jian said, the local people's gold mining technology is too backward. No matter how hard they work with this primitive method, they can grind one or two tons of ore in a day, but they may not produce ten grams of gold sand.
After deducting the investment cost, what profit can be made from the gold mining site in Yibo Ancient Village?
However, if you can purchase diesel generators, rock crushers, sand making machines and other gold sand mining and smelting equipment, and transform the entire gold mining process, even if you process 30 to 50 tons of ore every day, the amount of gold produced will be corresponding.
The increase is more than ten or twenty times.
There is another point that Guo Jian didn't admit just now, but that doesn't mean Cao Mo didn't think of it.
What the locals mine is rock gold, which is gold sand in gold-bearing rock mines, but there is a stream near the gold mining site.
Rocks containing gold sand and gold slag have been weathered and corroded by nature for thousands of years, and a large amount of gold sand has been brought to the riverbed soil by rainwater and deposited.
It is still unknown whether there is placer gold in the valleys and river beds of that stream, and how much placer gold is stored.
Foreign professional gold mining companies have strong capital and usually mine rock gold in underground rock formations. However, complete sets of equipment often cost tens of millions of dollars, which is not affordable for private gold miners working alone.
Some small-scale gold miners in China, or gold mining teams, are targeting the placer gold deposited in the riverbed soil.
Cao Mo explained the whole story to Lucy and made it very clear that he wanted to ask Lucy and Kabuga, who had just left, to help him accomplish this.
Lucy and Kabuga, one is the cook and the other is the driver.
The cooks and drivers hired by Draculamo's Chinese-owned enterprises cannot simply be equated with ordinary village girls and young people in society.
Lucy has a secondary education degree, while Kabuga even has a junior college degree.
At first, they had to hire several local employees. For the sake of safety, Yang Deshan and Guo Jiandu put forward very high requirements for academic qualifications. They believed that the possibility of highly educated local employees colluding with the Draculamore criminal gang inside and outside was high.
Lower.
The overall education level in Kanem is even worse than it was in China in the past 50 or 60 years.
Just imagine how scarce high school students and junior college students were in China in the 1950s and 1960s. You will know that Lucy, Kabuga and others in Draculamore can be considered elite talents.
Don’t think that Lucy and Kabuga are aggrieved because they work as cooks and drivers in Donghua West Africa Branch.
Although the salary provided by the branch company is less than 30,000 naira (local currency), which is less than one hundred US dollars, it is more than double that of white-collar workers in local companies in Draculamore.
Lucy and Kabuga both had experience working in local trading companies before, and they switched jobs more than a year ago for the "high salary" offered by the West African branch.
Cao Mo explained briefly, and Lucy understood the whole story.
Kabuga had accompanied Cao Mo and Guo Jian to Yibo Ancient Village, and had just witnessed Cao Mo and Guo Jian falling out. I believe he knew better what was going on here.
Cao Mo has been in Draculamore for more than a year, but it is difficult to integrate into the local society.
He wanted to do something, especially to stop Guo Jian and Yang Deshan, negotiate a cooperation with the old chief Felician, and after negotiating the cooperation, organize local workers to mine gold sand, and he couldn't do without Lucy.
Kabuja's help.
"Okay, that's it for now. We'll talk about other things when Kabuga comes over tomorrow." Cao Mo asked Lucy to rest first, and he wanted to go back to the room upstairs to sort out his thoughts.
"If Manager Guo cooperates with Mr. Yang, their capital seems to be..." Lucy could also think of the key points and asked with some worry.
She knew very well that Cao Mo's status in the company was better than that of local employees like them, and he probably didn't have much savings.
Guo Jian just pointed out that even if a gold mine does not have too many technical difficulties, no matter how small the investment is, a complete set of equipment will cost tens of thousands of dollars.
This is not to mention future operational investment.
"It's okay, I'm sure about this." Cao Mo confidently said to Lucy to relax, but he secretly complained in his heart, how sure is he?
If he hadn't concluded that Guo Jian had told Yang Deshan everything about the gold mine when he sent Yang Deshan back to the business center, and that he wanted to get rid of him and Yang Deshan to monopolize the Yibogu gold mine, Cao Mo might have continued to do so tonight.
Since Guo Jian gave him no choice, he would fight no matter what.
If you have benefits, you will only tolerate them; if you allow others to take advantage of them, you will be just stupid.
Besides, if his intuition is correct and the old chief Felician's kindness and expectations for him are not adulterated, then how can he be qualified to compete with Guo Jian and Yang Deshan?
No matter how you say it, he is a person favored by Ibogu...
