Chapter 420: Return to Draculamo
In addition to a pot of roast goose, a pot of sauerkraut fish, and a plate of peanuts, it was a box of roast duck bought from the braised vegetable shop next door, and the store asked for two hot water kettles of hot rice wine, Huang Hebin sat down in front of Yan Zhicheng and Yan Ming, and he didn't know where to start for a while.
"The last time you invited me to dinner, it was much more generous than this!" Yan Zhicheng said with a smile as he looked at the narrow, greasy storefront.
"The first time I invite Yan Ye to dinner in China, I always have to support the scene, but after I survive the scene, I don't have those particularities," Huang Hebin said with a wry smile, "I don't even have enough money in my pocket for a ticket to Draculamo, so Yan Ye will bear with me, don't talk too much to me!"
"Asked us over again today, it was Cao Mo looking for you, right?" Yan Zhicheng also asked straight to the point.
"How did Yan Ye guess?" Huang Hebin didn't think that Cao Mo would say too much to Yan Zhicheng, and asked.
"Although Cao Mo said that it has nothing to do with him, but I can get out of prison alive, but I can't really take it seriously because it has nothing to do with Cao Mo - this time I returned to China, I was cheeky to find a phone to go over, Cao Mo had no intention of meeting, but I asked about your situation on the phone, and I was thinking about a mess on the south shore of Conero Lake, and he might go to you. Yan Zhicheng said.
Huang Hebin put his fingers on the edge of the wine bowl and asked, "So, Yan Ye is also very interested in this matter?"
"The new Taihua Casino Hotel is closed for rectification, even if the Oppenheimer family may push the hotel back to business as quickly as possible, but if I don't do anything, this matter has nothing to do with me - at this age, who is willing to end up with nothing?" Yan Zhicheng sighed.
Xintaihua Hotel & Casino involves the holding and operation of overseas casinos, which does not meet the regulatory requirements of the domestic securities department for overseas investment, and the listed company has not participated in the shareholding from beginning to end.
At present, in addition to Huamao's 10% stake, the remaining 90% of the shares of the new Taihua Casino Hotel are in the hands of Vulkov Investment.
Yan Zhicheng has no friendship with the Oppenheimer family, not to mention Sturgeon Foster, the behind-the-scenes controller of Volkov's investment, will not easily trust a Chinese person, and it is impossible for them to find a team in Dracula who can be responsible for the operation of hotels and casinos.
If Yan Zhicheng really didn't do anything at this time, when the new Taihua Casino Hotel reopened for operation, what reason did he have to think that they would not be swept away?
If they finally want to be retained by the Oppenheimer family and Sturgeon Foster to continue to be in charge of the operation of the new Taihua Casino Hotel, the only way is to help Huang Hebin first persuade Huamao, Volkov Investment and other parties to accept him and lead the old team to continue to be responsible for the construction of the Cornello Marina New City, the port and other projects.
At that time, even if it is motivated by the maintenance of the status quo, it is very likely that Volkofu Investment will consider continuing to use Yan Zhicheng to become them.
Of course, Yan Zhicheng must not expose his secret connection with Cao Mo.
Otherwise, no matter how good the relationship between Sturgeon Foster and Nitz Oppenheimer and Cao Mo is, it is impossible to use Cao Mo's people in the gray area of their absolute control.
In fact, from the moment Cao Mo found him, he had already calculated Han Shaorong, Sturgeon Foster, and Niz Oppenheimer?
Thinking of this, Huang Hebin no longer concealed it, and said openly:
"I'm actually still worried, no matter how I go to Han Shaorong and ask for the hope that I can continue to stay in construction projects such as Conero Binhai New Town, he may be vigilant and exclude me from now on - Cao Mo mentioned that I can start with Guo Jian, but he didn't say the specific details, I'm a blind cat now, where can I catch Guo Jian, a live mouse?!"
Huang Hebin cleared all his personal assets, not even a second-hand Santana, and he didn't dare to easily convene the old department to discuss such a confidential matter.
He saw Guo Jian haunting Huamao Mansion several times, but he didn't have a chance to get close, and he couldn't investigate more useful information, so he temporarily formulated a few plans to contact Guo Jian, but he was not very sure not to show any sloppiness.
"I talked to Cao Mo on the phone for a short time, Cao Mo hung up the phone after briefly asking about your situation on the phone, and I didn't know that I should start with Guo Jian - you talk about it. Yan Zhicheng said.
Guo Jian was kicked out of Dongsheng, and Lu Yan kept him as a horse boy, but Guo Jian always thought highly of himself in his heart. This may be due to the distortion in his heart when he sees Cao Mo's success in Kanem in the past few years, which is an illusion, but it is undeniable that he does have such a distortion in his heart. This should also be the key reason why he can be bought by Han Shaorong and betray Taihua again, rather than simply seeing that Taihua Building will collapse, he is eager to invest in another home, but Lu Jianchao, Lu Jiancheng and I saw him very honest by Lu Yan's side before, all ignored this," Huang Hebin said, "He has now defected to Han Shaorong, but he must not be willing to be just a small clerk in Huamao......"
Taking advantage of Guo Jian's increasingly uncontrollable ambition, or arousing the so-called "unwillingness" in Guo Jian's heart, this is the idea that Huang Hebin thought of in the past two days, but it is a little difficult to do it specifically, what to pay attention to in terms of details, and not to reveal flaws.
"Well, not only do we have to deceive Guo Jian, but the more important thing is to use Guo Jian to remove Han Shaorong's vigilance against us," Yan Zhicheng said, "But we can't take the initiative to approach Guo Jian, but let Guo Jian approach us, this is more troublesome - Cao Mo probably doesn't have much patience to wait......"
Yan Ming, who was sitting quietly from beginning to end, interjected at this time: "Yao Haiming came to me a few days ago and said that he wanted me to go over and do it with him, but I didn't pay attention to him, I thought that even if I wanted to mix, I should go back to Draculamo to mix up again." But I didn't refuse to die at the time - and after Guo Jian's divorce, I felt that the relationship was quite fake, and when I returned to Xinhai, I liked to visit the pink shop, and I also told me that there are some hidden forums on the domestic Internet, and people in the same way are used to posting some new information on them, and he will go up to find new resources if he has nothing to do. If you lead him to contact Yao Haiming, and then reveal some things to him through Yao Haiming, it shouldn't show any!
”
Huang Hebin actually still looks down on Guo Jian, he doesn't have much contact with him in private, and he doesn't know much about his personal liking, but he didn't expect Yan Ming to have more contact with Guo Jian in private, and he thinks his method is feasible: "This method is okay - it seems that you kid, you don't have less fun when you return to China!"
"......" Yan Ming touched his head embarrassedly, and said, "Since Guo Jian is ambitious, maybe he is not willing to be lonely now, what is he doing behind Han Shaorong's back - I have a car, I can see the situation with him for two days first......"
"I am responsible for doing these chores with Yan Ming," with a clue, things are not so headaches, Yan Zhicheng said to Huang Hebin, "The key is to contact the old people in the operation team, and finally be able to take care of these things - otherwise, even if you deceive Han Shaorong and get Cao Mo's support, it is useless to continue the construction of the project." ”
"Okay!" Huang Hebin agreed, looking for Yan Zhicheng and Yan Ming to do the same.
His energy alone is too limited, and it is impossible to undertake everything, so he immediately discussed the division of labor with Yan Zhicheng and Yan Ming, and implemented it separately......

"What, the second phase of Champagne Coast opens at 30,000 yuan per square meter? Impossible, I came to talk three weeks ago, the unit price of this suite is not 18,000, and it is said that you can apply for greater discounts, why is it only a few days later, not to mention that the previous preferential activities have been canceled, and the price has been raised so much - the developer robbed, it shouldn't be so outrageous, right?"
Guo Jian was standing in the sales hall of a real estate project outside Central at this time, listening to the sales lady who had received him before talking about the latest offer, as if he had been beaten up.
In just half a month, who would have imagined that housing prices would nearly double compared to the lowest point?
The dual turn of fiscal and monetary policies, and the central government's use of 4 trillion yuan to stimulate economic development, will have such an immediate effect?
Even if you don't compare it with the low point when the discount was at its highest, the house price of the first phase of the Champagne coast at the beginning of the year was 234,000 per square meter, which is far less exaggerated than it is now.
Guo Jian subconsciously wanted to turn around and leave, not wanting to be the wrongdoer, but he sensitively captured the contempt hidden in the sales lady's smile, and a cloud of anger rose in his heart.
It's just that no matter how angry he is, it won't help, can he still sprinkle in the sales hall?
When he was annoyed, Guo Jian felt that his intestines were about to regret it, what conditions were negotiated last time, why didn't he make up his mind to sign a contract to take down the house?
No matter how unwilling he was in his heart, even if he wanted to cut through the mess quickly, the funds he prepared in his hand were no longer enough for the down payment of the suite he liked, so he could only hold down the unwillingness and anger in his heart, smack his lips from the contemptuous eyes of the sales lady, and secretly thought: One day you snobs will be impressed!
The mood is extremely bad, Guo Jian is not in the mood to go back to Huamao Building, and he doesn't think that others will care about anything if he leaves for half a day.
He is now nominally Han Shaorong's assistant, but he is not allowed to interfere in domestic affairs at all.
In the final analysis, he is a liaison in Huamao, and he is far from being comparable to Dong Chengpeng.
And he was simply in charge of liaising with Liang Yuan, who was staying in Draculamo at this time, and he had nothing more to do, and he didn't have the opportunity to see Han Shaorong for several days.
Huamao's shareholding in overseas projects such as Conero Marina New Town, as well as the subsequent financing and construction, are all due to Liang Yuan's contact and negotiation with Volkov's investment in Draculamo.
In other words, in Han Shaorong's eyes, he is far inferior to Liang Yuan, who was born as a fraudster.
Of course, Liang Yuan, a steel investment company registered by Huamao and Xinganglian in Kanem to take over the assets and operations of the Catro Iron and Steel Plant, is not comparable to him because he personally holds 20% of the shares.
Guo Jian, who was distraught, parked his car in the parking lot in front of the Peach Blossom Valley Health Center building, and saw Yao Haiming standing in front of the counter with a mobile phone through the glass door.
Guo Jian has no affairs in the company, there is no entertainment at night, and there are no friends to pass the time, so he is very bored, so he looks for places to spend time everywhere.
During this time, he saw many fellow Taoists praising the Peach Blossom Valley Health Center from several hidden forums, and he could still see the small cards of Peach Blossom Valley on the street before, so he came to the door with the mood of exploring the way, but he didn't expect that this was the store that Yao Haiming had just put down.
Seeing Yao Haiming at first glance, Guo Jian was still a little embarrassed.
However, for Yao Haiming, Guo Jian is a guest.
Guo Jian betrayed him, the Lu family went overseas, he didn't end up with anything, and his heart was full of resentment, and he couldn't fight for the Lu family - he even envied Guo Jian for moving faster than him, and took refuge in the new master before Taihua collapsed.
The Peach Blossom Valley store is not big, it was an old shop that made leather balls before, the store did not dredge up a good relationship, was fined several times, and put the store out in frustration - Yao Haiming has some means, and he has a lot of special projects, and it didn't take a few days to become famous.
Guo Jian met Yao Haiming for the first time, and he also entered the store with his head stubborn, but he experienced the health program of Peach Blossom Valley, and it felt really good.
There is really no place to pass the time after work, Guo Jian has come to play twice with a shy face, and it is natural to see Yao Haiming again now.
Guo Jian got out of the car and walked into the store, Yao Haiming hung up his mobile phone, threw a cigarette over, and said: "Hey, your kid is really unlucky, the sixty-ninth and eighty-eighth have just been clocked, and it will take a while to come down - if you kid is not so picky, there are two newcomers, you can try their tricks, and they look ......smart."
"Who are you calling?" Guo Jian lit his cigarette next to the counter.
"Huang Hebin. Yao Haiming said casually.
"Ah, they haven't gone out yet?" After chatting twice before, Guo Jian knew that Yao Haiming had invited Huang Hebin to open a health center together, and asked curiously, "He called you at this time, wouldn't he be thinking about going to Peach Blossom Valley again?"
"He still has a big heart, and he doesn't look down on my kind of business," Yao Haiming wanted to pull Huang Hebin to open a health shop together but was refused, feeling a little unhappy, and said, "Didn't he apply for a company a few days ago, and promised to be the deputy of this company's new steel structure factory in Africa."
He has now changed his mind, and is talking to this company, and he wants to directly contract this steel structure factory, and he also wants to pull me over. He also doesn't want to think about it, where is it easy to find a chance to turn around in Africa now?"
"By the way, what did that company do before, and where is the steel structure factory located?" Guo Jian heard Yao Haiming mention it last time, but he didn't take it to heart, and asked curiously at this time.
"Chonghai's company used to do steel structure foreign trade, some time ago in Saegalone under an old factory, it seems that just negotiated, I think we can use the local cheap labor to reduce the cost, but you think about it, life is not familiar, rashly run to Saegalone, how can it be so easy? Huang Hebin has saved 20 or 30 million in his hands over the years, but they are all planted in, and now he has no money and no capital, and there are a few people to play with him? In Kanem, in Draculamo, he has some foundation, and his conditions are much stronger than that of Segalone in all aspects—don't be afraid of Tianyue or anything, no matter how good Tianyue is, he can still cover the sky with one hand?" Yao Haixin said straightforwardly.
"Then you persuade them to go straight to Kanem. Guo Jian said.
"I don't want to go back, and I want to persuade them to do more? If they do it, they can't share my money—if they can't do it, won't I hurt them?" Yao Haiming said hesitantly, "I finally took over this store, and I was counting on finding more young and beautiful technicians to deceive you guys who are sanctimonious, have no time to pick up girls, but want to be dissatisfied, and are yelling all over the world to play with little girls, and touch the money in your pockets one by one, and I should be able to open a chain store next year." By the way, a new technician, a little older, but the technique is really good. You have to believe my brother and me, I have tried the bell myself. ”
"I'm skeptical of your taste. Guo Jian said suspiciously.
"If you don't think it's okay, wait for the clock to fall on the eighty-eighth that you like, and I'll ask her to add another bell to you!" Yao Haiming said.
"Then give it a try!"
Guo Jian was thinking about things, so he was no longer so picky, walked into the narrow box, turned on the light and waited for the technician to walk in, seeing that everyone was almost forty years old and out of shape, he felt that Yao Haiming's grandson was really not a thing, and he forced an old ugly technician who couldn't get on the clock to him!

In addition to the fact that Cao Mo could not pin all his hopes on Huang Hebin and Yan Zhicheng, at the same time, in order to cover up, normal plans were also being discussed.
The listed company changed its name to Tianyue Industrial, the overseas assets were replaced, and the shareholding of Conero Coastal New Town, Conero Port and refinery was transferred to Conero Lake Industrial Park, and Yang Deshan and Abacha were responsible for the negotiations with Huamao, Volkov Investment, Draculamo Port Group and Draculamo Municipal Government for projects such as Conero Coastal New Town.
However, the situation was as Cao Mo expected, and after Kanem entered December, the economic situation became even more dire.
The Dracula City Hall originally promised to make a supporting Binhai Expressway to Binhai New Town, but the construction came to a complete halt, not to mention, and even wanted Binhai New Town to pay out the road construction costs that the City Hall had invested in the early stage.
Under the current situation, Volkov Investment is unwilling to give up its controlling stake in the new Taihua refinery, but it is not willing to assume more responsibilities in the construction of the supporting coastal new city and port.
Han Shaorong reflected on himself, Huamao was not as aggressive as before, but he would not be too anxious about the start and continuation of projects such as Conero Coastal New Town, and just handed over the relevant matters to Liang Yuan to deal with.
It was Sturgeon Foster and Nizz Oppenheimer who were really interested, even if they were not willing to take more responsibility for the continuation of the new Cornello Maritimes and the port.
The first is that 90% of the shares of the new Taihua Casino Hotel that has been built are owned by the Volkov Investment Company, and the largest loss is the Volkov Investment Company for every day of delay.
The second is the south shore of Lake Conero, where even in the current dire economic situation, refineries have clear profit expectations. And Volkov Investment happens to hold a controlling stake in the refinery, so it is naturally more urgent to promote the resumption of work and production of the refinery and related projects directly supporting the refinery.
Lake Conero Industrial Park and Huamao also have different shareholdings in the refinery, and they do not object to Volkov's investment proposal, and the funds required for the subsequent construction of the refinery will be apportioned according to the shareholding ratio, and everyone has no opinion.
However, there are differences on how to allocate the follow-up investment of supporting projects and how to form a new operation and management team.
The refinery did not change contractors in the middle of the process, but with the collapse of Taihua, the management team that had initially followed the construction of the project and the operation of the first phase of the project was withdrawn from China.
Employees hired and trained locally from Draculamo are also on indefinite leave.
Sturgeon Foster and Niz Oppenheimer initially wanted to entrust the management of the refinery to a British refining company.
However, not to mention Han Shaorong, Cao Mo also refused to accept such a suggestion.
In addition to the fact that the operation management team will be completely inclined to Volkov's investment in the future, the main reason is that the cost of hosting is too high.
In addition to the expensive operation and management fees, people send a CEO, dare to ask for an annual salary of five million US dollars, the annual salary of team members is not less than 800,000 US dollars, in addition to the normal rest in Kanem a year, but also requires an additional three months of paid leave - Cao Mo saw such a proposal, and wanted to ask: Why don't they all die?
In addition to this, the transition period for entrusting the refinery and supporting projects to a new company is relatively long.
Cao Mo also approached Xinhai Refining & Chemical Group to discuss the trusteeship operation, but in addition to Niz Oppenheimer and Sturgeon Foster's concern that Cao Mo had other intentions for the refinery, Xinhai Refining & Chemical Group also required a comprehensive technical and safety assessment of the Xintaihua refinery before it was willing to start continuous cooperation negotiations.
The information that Huang Hebin intended to bring people back to Africa and contract a steel structure factory in Sierra Leone was first transmitted to Huamao by Guo Jian, and no one paid much attention to it; until the end of December, several plans could not be unanimously approved due to various defects, but it was Dong Chengpeng who first proposed to invite Huang Hebin to return to Draculamo within Huamao.
