Chapter 343: Planning
"When did you start baiting them?"
Cao Mo sniffed the elegant smell of perfume on the tip of her nose, spread her arms, and asked Zhou Han to come over.
The rattan chair was still a little smaller, Zhou Han lay down side by side, feeling uncomfortable, so he simply turned sideways, his cheek pillowed on Cao Mo's shoulder, and a pink carved arm was across Cao Mo's chest, and said: "After I went back to Chonghai, I also read some information about the construction of new cities in various parts of the country, and I have some ideas one after another. Even Lu Yan, a good-for-nothing prodigal, feels that real estate is promising after being exposed to it in China for a while. And Yan Zhicheng, although they have no chance to contact Han Shaorong, but the domestic stock market has been adjusted for almost half a year, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like there is any sign of hitting a new high, and they have a large amount of funds that need to be transferred out......"
Cao Mo has felt that Zhou Han is secretly drumming up something in the past few months, but he has to spend a lot of energy in Drake to rectify the grassroots team, in addition to giving Zhou Han a salary of more than 100,000 or 200,000 US dollars a month, he is also too lazy to interfere with what she secretly conspires with Yang Xiaofeng and Yan Zhicheng.
Cao Mo turned sideways slightly, looking at Zhou Han's seductive face, but she didn't expect her beautiful eyes, which looked clear and deep, to quietly dig such a big pit to deceive people.
"What is the origin of Volkov's investment, and does Yan Zhicheng see any clues there?" Cao Mo asked.
"Except for a few management personnel from the Oppenheimer family such as Ensanger and others, ordinary employees of Volkov Investment are recruited from Draculamo, and the so-called board of directors does not seem to have shown up collectively, and Yan Zhicheng has not yet figured out what the way it is," Zhou Han said, "But they have such a large amount of funds, but they dare not show their heads, and most of them are not coming from the right way - this is good, they get together with the Lu family and Han Shaorong, so that they can have more good ...... to watch."
Cao Mo and Abacha first approached the Oppenheimer family to cooperate, because they saw that Niz Oppenheimer was both a senior member of the Patriotic Construction Front and the vice chairman of the Draculamo City Council, but Oppenheimer, as a family descended from the colonists, was suppressed at the age of twenty or thirty, and only re-emerged after Kanem ended the rule of the military government, and there was no accumulation in just a few years.
Although the current merger of Sika Idet Power Grid, which is part of Conero Energy, as well as Sanchez and Bluestar Rental, do not seem to be at low valuations, the Oppenheimer family acquired the stakes in these two companies, as well as the Gulf of Guinea Shipping and Mining Company, for a very low price, almost half sold and half given to them by Cao Mo in exchange for the political support of Niz Oppenheimer.
Cao Mo knew very well in his heart that the Oppenheimer family was by no means qualified to lead the Fulkov Investment Company, which took out more than 200 million US dollars with real money alone.
In recent years, Kanem has attracted as much as $50 billion or $60 billion in overseas capital through various situations such as lending, equity cooperation, and project cooperative development -- behind these capitals are European and American crude oil and energy giants, and the sources of funds and equity relations are clear, and there is nothing to see the light of.
The more than $200 million in funds of the Volkov Investment Company were hidden, and the real investors behind the scenes did not show up until this time, and it is no wonder that Zhou Han suspected that they were coming from the wrong way.
However, there are too many sources of money in this world, and they do not have accurate information, and it is useless to speculate.
Of course, they are wary enough of the Volkov investment company, and it is not certain whether the Lu family will have it - the Lu family only officially cooperated with the Oppenheimer family after April last year after the collapse of the Jidam family.
Even if Niz Oppenheimer proposed that the Taihua Industrial Park and the land south of it be completely assigned to Draculamo as the planned land for the construction of the new city, it would not be easy for the Ronta side to give up. If we intervene too much, it will arouse Lu Jianchao's suspicions," Cao Mo felt Zhou Han's soft and warm delicate body in his arms, and said, "The whole thing, let's just wait and see, and you don't let Yan Zhicheng be too hasty - don't forget, those routines of yours are familiar to Liang Yuan, at least you can't arouse Liang Yuan's vigilance......"
After a year, Yan Zhicheng also mentioned it twice, but Nsange and Lu Yan didn't take it to heart, and it was even more unclear what Nitz Oppenheimer and Lu Jianchao thought, and Yan Zhicheng couldn't deliberately touch things that were too deep. Or is there too much gap between the trial operation of the hotel and their expectations in the past month, and Lu Yan is only thinking about this matter now," Zhou Han said, "I was also worried that it would arouse Liang Yuan's vigilance, so I didn't let Yan Zhicheng act rashly, I just thought about whether you could do some inducing ...... for them through other channels."
"Do you want me to do something?" Cao Mo asked with a slight frown.
Cao Mo has not met with Lu Jianchao and Lu Yan in the past few years, and he doesn't know what they are thinking in their hearts, but one thing is certain, if you really want to lure the Lu family and the Oppenheimer family to engage in this new city project on the south bank of Conero Lake, the interest temptation of real estate development may only be one aspect, and the main thing may be the cost of their sinking into the south bank of Conero Lake.
However, Cao Mo is also not good about the future economic trend.
As the only super city in West Africa, Draculamo's infrastructure and economic development are closely related to the trend of international crude oil futures.
At present, international crude oil futures are hot, and Kanem's crude oil foreign exchange is expected to exceed 100 billion US dollars this year, and a considerable part of it will be released in Draculamo, which is also destined to stimulate local infrastructure and urban development more than in previous years.
This is intuitively felt from the sales of Conero cement.
If the hot crude oil market only lasts for two or three years, it will not be enough to support the construction and development of a new city, but what if it lasts for five or six years?
Again, Cao Mo's financial strength is weak, and he is unable to support the huge amount of capital investment in the early stage of a new city, but if Han Shaorong and the New Steel Union are persuaded by the Lu family and the Oppenheimer family to participate, plus the Volkov Investment Company of unknown origin, the scale of capital they can use will be large.
Even if there are any twists and turns in international crude oil futures and Kanem's crude oil exports during this period, they have the ability to support it for a longer period of time and wait for the economic situation to turn around......
"To be honest, I can't see how the economy will develop in the future, the capital strength they have gathered together is too strong, and the so-called new city plan may not necessarily be poison, but is not destined to be fragrant. If we don't want to make a fuss, it's better to intervene as little as possible......" Cao Mo said lazily.
"Okay......" Zhou Han was somewhat unwilling, snuggling in Cao Mo's arms like a cat.
Cao Mo's hand landed on Zhou Han's soft waist, feeling the amazing elasticity, and her fingers couldn't help but drill into the waist of her skirt.
"Don't!" Zhou Han tugged at Cao Mo's fingers.
"You're too realistic, aren't you? Cao Mo said bitterly.
"Han Shaorong and the Lu family and Niz Oppenheimer are not people who can work together to tide over difficulties together, they seem to have a good relationship now, that is, there are common interests maintained, there must be setbacks, and the contradictions between them will definitely be exposed - in addition to these people, Liang Yuan and the unknown Vulkov Investment Company, I think they should all be-stirring sticks who can only share wealth and prosperity but not hardship," Zhou Han propped himself up, half-lying on Cao Mo's chest, and still persuaded unwillingly, " You've got to find a way to motivate them to speed up their movements......"
Cao Mo saw Zhou Han propping himself up, and did not forget to cover his neckline with his hand to cover the undulating and attractive snow peaks and ice, and said: "Yang Deshan's plan for the long-term development of the Conero Lake Industrial Park is ten times larger than the current two parks combined, but there are no serious heavy chemical industries and high-tech, high-value-added enterprises on the north shore of Conero Lake, more than 100 processing enterprises, the added value is very low, and the wages of local employees are pitifully low- In my opinion, there is no possibility of implementation within ten years, and it will not be able to deceive people if it is announced at this time. ”
Of course, Zhou Han knew about Yang Deshan's plan, she just wanted to persuade Cao Mo to announce this plan in advance, to stimulate the Lu family and Han Shaorong, and said: "Then you can add more chips to this rule, it looks more convincing......"
"What chips?" Cao Mo took advantage of Zhou Han's hands to support him, and his fingers went into her skirt and scratched it like a joke.
"For example, a copper smelter with an annual output of 200,000 tons of anode copper, such as a steel complex that undertakes one million tons of iron ore per year, an annual output of 600,000 tons of crude steel billets and various steel products from Mangba, and a large-scale refinery that undertakes the refining of 60% of gold-bearing ores in West Africa, the addition of these three industrial projects should make Yang Deshan's plan look more convincing. This year, international crude oil prices have risen sharply, and the federal government and local governments in Kanem are full of confidence, more or less restless, and major infrastructure actions are continuous. If you throw out the plan of Beihuwan Industrial New City at this time, even if the Lu family and Han Shaorong will still hesitate, I believe that those big names in Draculamo City Hall may take the initiative ......to drill over," Zhou Han said.
In order to grab Cao Mo's fingers that were still drilling into his skirt, Zhou Han had to lie on Cao Mo's chest with his whole body, and his lips were gently kissed by Cao Mo, and it took a lot of effort to pull out his hand and press it.
"If we really want to do this, we have to ask Qian Wenhan to cooperate with us in this play, but we need the help of Qian Wenhan, an old fox, and we have to show it more or less. Cao Mo said.
Zhou Han took the initiative to kiss Cao Mo: "Is it enough?"
"Let go of your hands. Cao Mo said.
"You guy who has to make inches, I might as well go directly to seduce Qian Wenhan. Zhou Han scolded.
"Smack!" Cao Mo twitched Zhou Han's buttocks, turned over and pressed her under him, and said domineeringly: "Xiaozui is still so powerful, it seems that I must teach you a good lesson today." ”
Seeing that Cao Mo was about to lift her shirt, Zhou Han held his face, looked at his eyes with sparkling eyes, and asked seriously, "Do you really want me?"
Cao Mo answered her with action, holding Zhou Han's chest with her hand through her clothes, and she could feel her panicked "thump" heartbeat.
Zhou Han came over to talk to him after entering the room to rest, he didn't wear anything in his light clothes, and through a thin layer of cloth, his hands were so full and erect.
"Yuqing and Stari don't mind that I'm by your side now, because they know that nothing happened to me and you, but if you really want me, will they really have no idea at all? Besides, I may be able to pretend to ignore what Yuqing and Stari think, but if I really want to have a relationship with you, considering Cheng Xi, I don't have the courage to continue to rely on your side anymore. Zhou Han bit his lip and said seriously.
"What a disappointment!" Cao Mo was like a frosted eggplant, lying on Zhou Han's body in frustration.
"You're too heavy, you lie down for me!" Zhou Han was overwhelmed, let Cao Mo lie down, she leaned sideways and hugged him, pressed her cheek to the past, and said softly, "You are for my business, let people detain Lu Yan in Draculamo, I especially wanted to have something happen to you in those days, and even wanted to break in when you were with Yuqing; I was actually awake that morning-so are you very happy?"
Cao Mo smiled cheekily, and couldn't help but think of that picture.
"I really want to stay by your side, even if it's a good day longer," Zhou Han said, "If you really feel uncomfortable, I can help you with my hands." ”
Cao Mo turned sideways and hugged Zhou Han and said, "Sleep with me tonight......"
............
............
When she woke up, the sunlight shone in through the window, Zhou Han opened her eyes and saw that Cao Mo was sleeping soundly, the two of them were entangled with their four legs, and a wooden peg-like thing was tightly against her, she couldn't help but reach out and shake it, startled, no wonder Song Yuqing is so reserved that people will shout. Seeing the corners of Cao Mo's mouth move, Zhou Han thought he was going to wake up, so he quickly withdrew his hand, closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, and put his arm across Cao Mo's waist to feel the wonderful feeling of skin-to-skin kissing.
After a while, seeing that Cao Mo was still asleep, Zhou Han finally let go of the lazy energy and desire in his mind to sleep in Cao Mo's arms for a morning, got up and went back to his room to wash.
Qian Wenhan and the others had a great time at the Xintaihua Casino Hotel last night, and they only came back in the early morning, and everyone didn't get up until nine o'clock to gather for breakfast.
Cao Mo also learned from Qian Wenhan that the new Taihua Casino Hotel, which is still in the trial operation stage, is not ready in all aspects, and its popularity is also very poor.
After breakfast, Cao Mo specially pulled Qian Wenhan and others to get on a yacht, accompanied by Abacha, Brahm, Yang Deshan, Xie Sipeng and others, to enjoy the charming scenery of the Atlantic Ocean.
On the yacht, Cao Mo officially mentioned that he wanted to throw out the construction plan of the new city on the north shore of Huwan, stimulate the Lu family and Han Shaorong, and urge them to really start the construction of the new city on the south bank of the south bank of Conero.
Yang Deshan's previous ten-year development plan for the new town of Conero Lake Industrial Park does not have enough support from a wealthy population in the short term, no corresponding industrial support, and no possibility of implementation
To be honest, it may not be realistic to say that the development plan can be realized in 20 years, not to mention 10 years.
Yang Deshan's long-term plan should change the construction plan that will be implemented in the near future, and Lu Jianchao and Han Shaorong should believe it, and the necessary industrial development needs to be added in the middle.
Cao Mo's current sources of external funds are mainly Qian Wenhan, Xinhai Gold and Dongjiang Securities, which have a close relationship with Qian Wenhan.
Therefore, the whole plan is inseparable from Qian Wenhan's cooperation.
Cao Mo and the Lu family and Han Shaorong are on a collision course, and it is not a matter of one or two days, Brahm, Abacha, Yang Deshan, and Xie Sipeng are all very clear that even if the contradictions between the two sides continue for the time being, sooner or later there will be an outbreak.
Abacha, Brahm, Yang Deshan, and Xie Sipeng are all determined to follow Cao Mo to the dark, and the key now depends on Qian Wenhan's attitude towards this matter.
Qian Wenhan sat on the deck of the yacht, smoking a cigar, frowning slightly and looking at the waves in the distance for a while, and said to Cao Mo:
"I've been paying attention to the news in West Africa recently, Kanem's crude oil revenues have risen sharply in recent years, and Draculamo, as Kanem's most populous and industrial concentration exceeds 50% of the entire country, and is the only megalopolis in West Africa, does have a strong impulse for infrastructure and urban expansion - I heard at the gaming table yesterday that Draculamo City Hall is making plans for light rail construction. If you're trying to lure the snake out of the hole now, you might be tempted to follow with a bigger plan to build the city. However, have you ever thought that if the international oil and energy market lasts for four or five years, and Kanem has a steady stream of foreign exchange earnings injected into Draculamo's urban construction and industrial development, maybe it is really possible for them to do this - then are you somewhat self-defeating?
Qian Wenhan, Ge Jun, Zhou Shenhe and Han Shaorong all have deep gaps, but Qian Wenhan, as a rational investor, can still correct the relationship between personal grievances and investment careers.
From the bottom of his heart, he also hoped that Cao Mo would do a good job of what they were doing first, and put aside his personal grievances for the time being.
Since Cao Mo opened this mouth, he naturally tried his best to persuade Qian Wenhan and said:
"I didn't think that Han Shaorong and they would definitely make a big mistake, and after throwing out the North Shore Huwan New Town plan to stimulate them, they didn't want to do more. I mainly think that Kanem wants to count half of my home field, which can induce Han Shaorong, Lu Jianchao, and Lu Jiancheng to transfer more capital to Kanem, and then they will still think about what to do to me secretly, at least I don't have to be as passive as when I was at home - as for them to do this, it will also have a hundred benefits and no disadvantages for the North Shore, isn't it?"
Although the overall development of Kanem's manufacturing industry is lagging behind, Draculamo concentrates more than half of Kanem's entire country's manufacturing industry, and the scale is still considerable.
If Han Shaorong and the Taihua Group win over Niz Oppenheimer to start a larger-scale new city construction on the south bank, they will inevitably think of carving out the Taihua Industrial Park from Longta, and then transfer some enterprises in Draculamo City to expand the industrial scale on the south bank of Conero Lake and support the development of the new city.
For them, as long as they firmly grasp the power grid that Conero Energy extends to the south shore of Conero Lake and do not fall into the hands of others, Han Shaorong and Taihua Group will really do it, and Conero Energy's electricity sales will also surge.
The south shore of Lake Conero is also connected to the western part of Lonta, where a large-scale new urban area has been built, which also has a stronger radiation effect on the western and northern shores of Lonta.
In addition, Taihua Group and Han Shaorong may no longer directly purchase building materials from Conero Cement, but if they really want to start large-scale infrastructure construction, which will greatly stimulate the market demand for building materials, Conero Cement can also make a profit.
In other words, as long as Han Shaorong and Taihua Group enter the group, whether they can do it or not, it will be beneficial to this side.
Seeing that Cao Mo was not purely willful, Qian Wenhan nodded and said: "I cooperate with you, but I just don't break the matter - Lao Zhou and Ge Jun will help you say hello, the framework agreement or something, and it is no problem to sign a few bluffs at will." ”
To bluff people to bluff the whole set, just throw out a so-called industrial new city construction plan, it is impossible to play much role.
The project of a large-scale gold refinery, Yibogu Mining can be prepared seriously, but the copper smelter project with an annual output of 200,000 tons, the steel and deep processing project with an annual output of 600,000 tons, and the deep-water port on the north shore of Lake Conero not only require at least a huge capital investment of more than a billion US dollars.
Of course, Qian Wenhan was willing to cooperate, and at the same time persuaded Xinhai Gold and others to sign a framework cooperation agreement, and Cao Mo was not afraid that Lu Jianchao would suspect anything.
Just as the rapid growth of international crude oil futures prices made Kanem's people restless, the international gold futures price broke through $1,000 per ounce in February, which also stirred people's hearts.
Now that Ibogu Mining has mined 60,000 ounces of gold a month, it may officially enter the billion-dollar production value club by next year – a watershed moment for Ibogu Mining to officially grow into a large international mining group.
Previously, the Wusanhe copper-gold mine reported to the Akwa authorities that the C2 reserves were estimated to be as high as 4 million tons of copper metal and 16 million ounces of gold, although Cao Mo deliberately kept a low profile, but Xinhai Gold's investment of US$150 million in the Wusanghe copper-gold mine project and a series of strategic cooperation with each other are what Xinhai Gold, as a listed company, must make announcements.
Qian Wenhan's Xinhong Investment, as the second largest shareholder of Xinhai Bullion, has also been directly written into the announcement of his investment in the Wusanghe copper-gold mine project, as a related party.
In this case, the three companies have jointly announced that they will invest five or six billion dollars in a large copper smelter in Kanem to digest the copper concentrate produced by the Usan copper-gold mine, which seems a little more radical at best.
The Gulf of Guinea Shipping and Mining Company also holds the iron ore supply agreement of the Akwa National Petroleum and Minerals Group, Cao Mo does not want to suffer the dumb loss of being cut off, and wants to pull another investment in Longta's self-built steel plant to digest this order, at most he looks younger and more vigorous.
And Cao Mo has always given people the impression of being young and vigorous.
With these two large-scale projects as the foundation, the logic of preparing for the construction of the North Shore Huwan Industrial New City has been established, and there is no room for others to question it......
