Entering July, the cement storm over Kanem is still blowing crazily, with no signs of stopping yet. The huge cement profits of Sika and Felician family building materials companies are still continuing.
By the end of June, there were many small vegetable farms on the outskirts of Draculamo that were supplying vegetables on the market. After seeing the initial opening of the Lonta-Daculamo road, some Chinese businessmen even went directly to the contracted land in Lonta to grow vegetables.
This has caused the prices of vegetables in Chinese supermarkets and restaurants in Draculamo to fall day by day.
After enjoying a period of huge profits for more than six months, Ibogu Farm's profit margin has shrunk significantly.
Cao Mo completely gave up the idea of expanding the farm's planting area and persuaded Ocho Sang to lease part of the cultivated land to the tribe's villagers for long-term contracting at a low price for the cultivation of staple grains and vegetables.
The farm will be responsible for building a number of irrigation stations along the Shikakugawa River, striving to increase the staple food and vegetable planting area in Ibogu to 6,000 acres within one year, using almost all the land in Ibogu except for forest land.
.
In the later period of the farm, in addition to being responsible for the operation of the irrigation station, it also mainly turned to technical support and training, seed cultivation and sales, agricultural machinery and equipment leasing, edible mushroom cultivation, egg, meat, poultry, pig and sheep breeding and other businesses. It operates with a small profit model and strives to step by step towards the future.
The surrounding tribes such as Koro and Qionai spread.
During this period, four gold miners successively discovered small rock gold deposits in the northern area of Longta.
It just so happens that there is a gold mine in Catero. After decades of mining, its resources are increasingly depleted and it cannot be sustained.
Investors had already made a lot of money and no longer cared about the gold mining company in operating difficulties, and finally chose to go bankrupt and liquidate; this gold mine had a batch of second-hand mining equipment for sale, which was converted to less than three million US dollars, which happened to be
It's rounded.
Cao Mo also replenished a batch of second-hand equipment from this gold mining company and recruited more than ten engineering and technical personnel.
The four Chinese gold mining businessmen who invested in Longta had experience in gold mining in China in their early years and had certain technical and financial strength. Like Xu Sheng and Xie Sipeng, they were highly vigilant and wary of the local people.
Management and technical staff would rather hire high-paying employees from China, or directly bring people from the old team to Longta, rather than hire senior management and technical staff from the local area.
It is not impossible for employees of this gold mining company to work there, but they will only be treated as ordinary employees. The monthly salary may be slightly higher, but it is only sixty or seventy US dollars.
These people were all poached by Cao Mo with a "high salary" of two hundred and fifty US dollars per month.
Xie Sipeng and others still have no long-term investment plan in Longta. They have no idea of further investment in equipment, nor have they conducted further surveys on the surrounding land of Qionai Gold Mine.
Starlie and Lucy went to Benin. Although some changes occurred, they finally obtained the documents successfully and left Benin directly from Benin, which also belongs to the West African Commonwealth, to continue their studies in China.
Worried that the Jidam family would notice any clues, Cao Mo was extremely cautious during this period. Even if he occasionally went back to Draculamore, he would stay for a day or two and then leave; neither he nor Abacha would take the initiative to talk to the little ones anymore
Tubman Contact.
Almost everyone in Draculamore knows that the Tubman family has a deep feud with the Guidam family. Except for the descendants of the colonists who share the same hatred, everyone else intentionally or unintentionally keeps a distance from Tubman Jr.
Cao Mo would occasionally accept invitations from Xie Sipeng and others and go to the New Beach Casino to play a few games, but he never saw little Tubman, and of course he never saw Baha, whose descendants were deposed.
However, even during his stay in Draculamore, he mainly stayed in the branch staff dormitory to check various information, and did not go out easily; but he seemed to be spending the whole day with Song Yuqing.
More time is spent in Ibogo.
But by the end of July, Zhou Han felt that Dracula was too boring, so he took Song Yuqing and Wang Wen to Yibogu for a vacation.
July is the rainy season in Kanem, and the climate is relatively humid and cooler.
Although the cement plant has been put into operation for a long time, the subsequent construction of the factory area has not stopped. By the end of July, the factory area and the fence of the gold mining operation area will be built. Sika and Felician Family Building Materials Company and Felician
A mining company may look like that, but it is only at the level of a village factory in China in the 1970s and 1980s.
After the construction of the barrage, a narrow mountain lake-shaped reservoir of several hundred acres was intercepted at the Yibogu Hydropower Station. Cao Mo built three stilt wooden houses near the lake. Even in the hot dry season, when the lake breeze blows and the coconut trees sway, it is very cool.
.
Palm trees, jacarandas, and bougainvillea were transplanted to the front and back of the lakeside building, planted with turf, and surrounded by bamboo fences, making it look like a small holiday manor.
The old chief Felician took over a wooden house without any hesitation and moved in. He also appointed Cao Mo to teach his cook the Chinese cooking skills.
When Cao Mo had free time to take care of his life a little more delicately, Abacha shamelessly came here to eat, drink and sleep. Fortunately, he couldn't come over because he had something to do today.
Zhou Han, Song Yuqing, Wang Wen and others came over, and Cao Mo also arranged for them to stay there.
You can’t see the clutter of gold mining operations and factory areas there, and the scenery is extremely beautiful, but it’s a good place for vacation——
"Wow, your life here is so comfortable, right?" Wang Wen got out of the car and saw a row of wooden houses under the coconut trees by the lake. He jumped and said, "Sister Song also said that your place is extremely miserable. Haha, most people live in the mountains.
I will go crazy for a few days. As long as there is a mobile phone signal here, I will be willing to lock me here all the time! You are not suffering, you are obviously here to be the chief!"
Cao Mo rolled his eyes at Wang Wen, who would think of imprisoning her in the mountains?
"Can I swim in the lake?" Wang Wen asked excitedly.
"There should be no piranhas or crocodiles in the mountains..." Cao Mo said.
After hearing what Cao Mo said, Wang Wen immediately gave up the idea of taking out his swimsuit and jumping into the lake.
While Wang Wen and Zhou Han were moving their luggage into the room, Cao Mo asked Song Yuqing: "Sister Yuqing, are you satisfied with the wooden house I built for you?"
"Only a ghost can believe you built this for me?" Song Yuqing rolled her eyes at Cao Mo, who was lying on the bed with his legs spread out. He walked to the window and looked at the lake. He couldn't help but stretch his arms and hang up his sleeves, revealing a
She has a snow-white and delicate waist, and her buttocks are perfectly rounded by her jeans.
Cao Mo walked over and squeezed to the window.
"Don't squeeze me!"
In order to save costs, Cao Mo was reluctant to build floor-to-ceiling windows on the side facing the lake. The windows were still slightly smaller. Song Yuqing twisted her waist to squeeze Cao Mo out of the way.
Of course Cao Mo refused. He pressed against Song Yuqing's long legs. Through two layers of cloth, he could still clearly feel the touching elasticity and heat. Especially since Song Yuqing didn't move away anymore, Cao Mo felt a thrill in his heart.
An indescribable thrill.
Cao Mo wanted to reach out to hug Song Yuqing's waist, but Song Yuqing opened it. Song Yuqing glanced at Cao Mo and moved slightly to the side. Cao Mo squeezed in again, but Song Yuqing did not move away anymore and just made a sound.
Said: "Don't stop me from enjoying the scenery!"
After hearing footsteps approaching for a while, Song Yuqing turned around and went to the bedside to pay her respects. Cao Mo didn't want to lose face, so he could only stand bent down in front of the window and continue to pretend to look at the scenery.
Zhou Han changed into a cool outfit and walked in. He talked to Song Yuqing for a while. Seeing that Cao Mo was still standing in front of the window looking outside, he walked over and asked, "Is there anything good to see outside?"
Zhou Han came over curiously, her cold and delicate arm rubbed against Cao Mo seemingly unintentionally, she looked out to see that there was nothing there, and said angrily: "Turn around quickly, there are two of us beauties in the room, it's not enough for you."
watch?
But Song Yuqing knew why Cao Mo didn't dare to turn around, especially since it was obvious that Cao Mo was wearing beach pants. She just lowered her head and pursed her lips with a smile, pretending to take out the clothes in the suitcase and pack them away.
Cao Mo pulled up a chair, sat down with his feet raised, and asked, "What instructions do you have from Sister Zhou?"
"I'm obviously younger than Yuqing, but you call me old all your life. Is the difference in treatment really so obvious? If you dislike me for getting in your way, then I will leave honestly." Zhou Han said angrily.
At this moment, Wang Wen had already changed into a swimsuit and walked in.
She was not as tall as Song Yuqing. Zhou Han was tall, but very well-proportioned. Song Yuqing was pulling Zhou Han to go swimming in the lake.
"Don't sneak into the lake secretly. The lake is not shallow and the slope is steep. If no one sees you when you slide down, you may not be able to struggle ashore at your level." Cao Mo was startled and persuaded Wang Wen, "Tonight, tomorrow I will
I’ll take you to a shallow water area to play! Besides, it’s the rainy season now, heavy rains can fall in the woods at any time, and the water conditions in streams and rivers change greatly, so don’t play secretly!”
"Then why am I in such a hurry to change into this outfit?" Wang Wen pouted and said regretfully.
"You come here to eat and live in other people's homes for free. You have to let people look at you and charge a fee." Zhou Han joked.
Wang Wen walked in grandly and called Zhou Han. He felt as if he were naked in front of Cao Mo. He covered his chest and ran back to his room quickly.
Although this wooden house is a single-story structure, it has four rooms, a quite spacious dining room, living room, and terraces in front and back of the house - considering that Abacha and the others will come here often to eat and stay,
The four rooms are decorated like guest rooms and equipped with solar water heaters. The conditions are completely different from when Cao Mo first entered Yibogu.
There was no dedicated cook, but the old chief Felician lived next door, and four villagers took care of him in his daily life. When people came over, Cao Mo took everyone to eat, and they always stayed with the old chief.
The farm has been in operation for more than half a year. Not only has the first harvest of various vegetables, meat, eggs, poultry, pigs and sheep been raised, but also the planting of staple grains. With the addition of various caught freshwater fish and shrimps, the tribe's diet has also become abundant.
Perhaps due to the improvement of his diet, the old chief Felician is no longer as old as when they first met. Now he is muttering all day long about building a wooden boat and putting it in the lake so that the fishing gear Cao Mo gave him can be used.
Greater use.
Sitting by the lake and fishing was not enough. He even thought of building a small boat. Cao Mo secretly complained that the old chief was really enjoying himself more and more as time went by.
At night, there were so many mosquitoes in the jungle that it was an insurmountable problem, so everyone could only close the doors and windows and chat inside.
Only then did Zhou Han reveal the reason why she dragged Song Yuqing and Wang Wen to Yibo Gulai:
"I talked about the industrial park with Mr. Yan before, and Abacha Sika seemed to be very interested. He also said that he would build one in Longta. Why didn't he hear anything about it later?"
"Recently, the United Bank of Oman wanted to use a trust fund to invest in the construction of a hydropower station in Ibogu. Abacha and I took over this matter. Abacha also teamed up with the Felician family and the Blake family to plan to build a hydropower station in Ibogu.
"Building a high-voltage transmission grid between Dracula Mo -" Some news that seemed bound to be made public in the future, Cao Mo naturally did not need to hide it from Zhou Han, and said, "Abacha is mainly busy with this matter now. The industrial park
I guess the matter has been forgotten a long time ago, right? Taihua wants to participate in the industrial park project? If Taihua is really interested, I will ask Abacha to come over tomorrow and you can chat in person..."
"You are doing better and better here!"
During this period of time in Abacha, Xie Sipeng, Tubman Jr., Yan Zhicheng and others did not take the initiative to contact anyone. Zhou Han was not very clear about the preparations for the ladder hydropower station and the transmission grid. Hearing Cao Mo's brief introduction, he was shocked and led him
He looked at Cao Mo with strange eyes and sighed with emotion.
"Similar to you, Sister Zhou, it's a part-time job anyway, so it's good to get more work," Cao Mo spread his hands and said nonchalantly, "I'm doing well now. If Taihua wants to come over and invest in a hydropower station, I'll
You can also help negotiate with the tribe, help with site selection and survey, and finally give me some commission..."
"How many hydropower stations have you been building? How much power will they generate?" Zhou Han asked thoughtfully.
"There are currently four hydropower stations under construction. They are all small hydropower stations. The construction period is short and they can be completed one after another years ago. The total power generation is only 60 to 70 million kilowatt hours per year. Even though the construction cost of Kanem's hydropower station is now higher than that in China.
It costs a lot, but the whole country in Kanem is in short supply of electricity, and the price of water and electricity is more than double that in China, so the income is still considerable,"
Cao Mo wanted to find out Zhou Han's private parts, so naturally he had to show her some of them first.
"The hydropower resources in the upper reaches of the Lujiao River are quite sufficient. For example, about five kilometers upstream from where we are now, there is a fairly deep canyon called Yeyang Gorge. The geological conditions at the mouth of the gorge are good.
It is suitable to build a medium-sized hydropower station with an annual power generation capacity of hundreds of millions of kWh. Of course, this is a medium-sized hydropower station in Kanem, but in the eyes of us Chinese, this can only be considered a small hydropower station. After all, after the completion of the Three Gorges, its scale will be
A thousand times; however, for this hydropower station, the Felician family may not be able to raise construction funds. The Felician family has found someone to make preliminary calculations on the large and small rivers in the northern area of Longta, and the hydropower station group that can eventually be built
, the annual power generation scale is 780 million kilowatt-hours, and the total investment is only 200 million US dollars, which is equivalent to the investment in building a large thermal power plant in China..."
"If Longta had a cheap industrial electricity supply, it would be more convenient to build an industrial park to attract investment. Dracula Moor is only fifty or sixty kilometers away from here. The price of industrial electricity is really scary..." Zhou Han
He frowned and said as if he was complaining.
"Isn't that right?" Cao Mo followed her tone and spread his hands.
