Returning to Dracula this time, sitting on a plane overlooking the blue Atlantic Ocean as if life is undulating and breathing, Cao Mo's feeling is completely different from three years ago.

Three years ago, he was full of thoughts about making more money and giving his family more protection, even if he knew about Kanem's chaos before he left the country, he was not afraid.

At this time, he also knew that Draculamo had a complicated situation waiting for him to jump into it again, but he more or less had the confidence and calmness to take his fate into his own hands.

Seeing the colorful slums beneath the planes that looked like countless patches patched together, he also felt the urge for the first time to do something about this place.

Is this what is called dedication?

However, after thinking about it, all aspects of the links have basically been opened, and it seems that there is no need for him to pretend to be insects in the mud pond anymore, right?

In front of Lu Yan, who has a sense of superiority and condescension in his bones, there seems to be no need to curl up his hands and feet, right?

After the plane landed, Lu Yan got off the plane first in the first class, and Cao Mo and the others walked to the pick-up hall, and saw that Lu Yan had already walked outside the simple pick-up hall surrounded by Huang Hebin, Zhou Han, Yao Haiming and others, and did not say that he would stop for two minutes, say hello to them and then leave.

Cao Mo didn't care.

In the simple reception hall of the airport, not only his full-time drivers and bodyguards Ade and Oulu were already waiting here, but Xie Sipeng, Yang Deshan, Abacha, Feng Rui, and Wang Wen also rushed to the airport to greet them.

After a brief greeting in the reception hall, everyone took the bus back to the city.

Song Yuqing deliberately kept a distance from Cao Mo again, and took a car with Wang Wen and Feng Rui, Cao Mo was pulled into the car by Abacha, but he didn't expect Xie Sipeng to squeeze up later, and also squeezed one of Abacha's bodyguards into another car.

"Mr. Xie, why don't you go to Lu Shaoduo and squeeze into our car?" Cao Mo asked with a smile.

"I invested a little money before to participate in the direct operation of the Lana Dere Beach Casino, and I just withdrew my shares a few days ago, and Lao Yang told you?" Xie Sipeng asked with a gloomy face.

Cao Mo heard Yang Deshan say that Xie Sipeng took the initiative to withdraw from the operation of Lana Dere Beach Casino, but now that he saw Xie Sipeng himself, his intuition told him that things were not so simple.

Xie Sipeng has never been a person who will be disgusted with money.

Even if he knew that cooperating with the Jidam family would undoubtedly have the risk of seeking skin with the tiger, but with such a high cash flow in the casino, he would probably not take the initiative to quit.

Now it seems that it should be Huang Hebin or Yan Zhicheng and the Jidam family behind them, who felt that Xie Sipeng was too close to them and deliberately alienated them, so they put pressure on him to quit, right?

"Two days ago, I talked on the phone, and I heard Mr. Yang talk about this, why, isn't the casino profitable?" Cao Mo asked pretending to be confused.

"Just make some interest money, I knew it was better to invest in something else!"

Xie Sipeng didn't want to complain too much, it would be obvious that he was too weak, but he still couldn't hide some frustration in his tone.

"Does the Felician family also think that the international gold price will continue to rise in the future, and no one has come to me to exchange gold bars recently, so they should all be hoarded?"

"Ibogu is also a bit bigger now, and I don't even interfere in the financial matters, and I didn't know before I returned home that the old chief or Ojosan was planning to hoard gold—maybe that was the case. I'll go back to Ibogu in two days, and I'll be clear if I ask, what's the matter, Mr. Xie, your gold store won't be short of a business in Ibogu, right?" Cao Mo said nonsense.

"Oh, I'll just ask, if you want to make additional investments in the Qiao Nai Gold Mine in the future, Lao Yang and I are still a little hesitant, thinking that you will come back and discuss it together. Xie Sipeng said.

Xie Sipeng, Yang Deshan and Xu Sheng's cumulative investment in the Qiaonai Gold Mine has been far behind by the Yibogu Gold Mine.

Xie Sipeng and Yang Deshan stopped investing a total of 2 million US dollars in the Qiaonai Gold Mine, and now that there is a profit, they will directly pay dividends.

At present, Cao Mo's cumulative investment in the Ibogu gold mine has reached nearly 4 million US dollars, and the area with prospecting rights has also expanded to 1670 square kilometers in the upper reaches of the Ibogu River and the Gray Crow River.

In the past, the Yibogu gold mine mainly used gravity separation method to mainly mine the coarse-grained gold in the rock formation, and the comprehensive mining rate of the gold ore was far lower than the international first-class level, and the grade of the Yibogu gold mine was good, and the comprehensive mining rate could barely reach 60%.

What Cao Mo has to do when he rushes back this time is not only to increase mining equipment and expand ore mining capacity, but to increase mineral processing and refining equipment, further optimize the process, and increase the comprehensive mining rate.

This approach not only increases the daily gold extraction, but also extends the gold mining cycle.

At the same time, he also decided to increase the amount of underwater mining equipment to mine the placer gold from the riverbed in the flooded area.

Compared with the previous crude increase in mining equipment, the optimization and upgrading of the process, and then the resumption of placer gold mining, the investment required is relatively small, and the preliminary estimate is that only an additional investment of more than one million US dollars can increase the daily gold mining volume by seven to eighty percent.

As for Xie Sipeng, how they want to increase the investment in Qiao Nai Gold Mine, Cao Mo has not had time to communicate.

Of course, since the two sides have cooperated in the Conero Lake Industrial Park project, the Ibogu Gold Mine is about to undergo technological upgrading, and there are still areas where cooperation can be made, which is also the first work that Cao Mo will do when he rushes back this time.

Hearing Cao Mo talk about the upcoming upgrade of the Yibogu Gold Mine, Xie Sipeng asked in surprise:

"Ibogu Gold Mine is going to build a real refinery?"

"It's not a real refinery. Kabuja and the others have been in Xinhai for almost ten days, and they have been discussing this matter with the people of Xinhai Mining Research Institute. The next step will be to add a set of refining equipment to the Ibogu gold mine, aiming to increase the comprehensive mining rate to more than 80%. However, this is still a dozen points short of the international high standard! At present, Kanem's conditions in all aspects are still a little simpler, and Ibogu cannot pursue too high at once. Cao Mo said.

"That's good, but we don't. Xie Sipeng said enviously.

To build a refinery, the technical content is still higher than that of coarse-grained gold mining.

Xie Sipeng: They don't have to worry about the construction investment of a simple refinery, but what about the operation and management team?

Seven or eight operation managers were recruited from China, and the personnel expenses were two million a year.

With their ore mining volume at this time, even if the comprehensive mining rate is increased by more than ten or twenty points, the newly increased profit margins will be eaten up by the newly increased costs.

"If Ibogu builds the refinery, we can directly sell the tailings gold sand to you for use......" Xie Sipeng's thoughts were active in the end, and he thought of it here.

They can't extract trace amounts of gold from the tailings, so they can only dump them there or backfill the pits, but Ibogu built the refinery, and their tailings with trace amounts of gold are the raw materials for the refinery.

No matter what price they sell, it is equivalent to an increase in profit margins from the Jonai gold mine.

"That's what Mr. Ojosan meant, and let me come back to talk to you!" Cao Mo mentioned this, of course, thinking of buying several tailings gold sand that could not be comprehensively utilized for refining.

The grade of the Qiaonai gold mine is still good, Cao Mo has found someone to test, deducting the coarse-grained gold that can be mined by the gravity separation method, and the tailings sand contains about two grams of trace gold per ton, which cannot be comprehensively utilized at present, and is dumped there, which is really a pity.

Not only do the Ibogu gold mines and the Jonai gold mines have a large amount of tailings gold sand that has not been treated, but there are also eight new gold mines in Longta, even if the comprehensive mining volume is only increased to 80% of what he just said, it can increase the production of pure gold by about two kilograms per day.

The initial refining of tailings gold sand is not complicated, and at present, the power supply of Ibogu is also sufficient, and the electrolytic refining equipment can also be directly added, and the stone house plant is also ready-made.

Kabuja led the team this time, and six engineers have been directly thrown to the cooperative unit of Xinhai Mining Research Institute to receive a one-month training, and when these engineers come back, they can directly arrange the equipment for trial production.

To be honest, there are professional factories in China that specialize in purchasing tailings gold sand from overseas as raw materials for gold refining, and the CIF price of this tailings gold sand in China is transparent.

Xie Sipeng They are all veterans who have been engaged in this industry for many years, they did not think about exporting before, but the transportation of Longta is too backward, they have nearly 200 tons of tailings every day, which are transported by road to Draculamo Port for loading and then transported back to China, and the transportation cost is too high.

It is better to have this energy than to mine more of the easiest coarse-grained gold.

Now Cao Mo directly built a refinery in Ibogu, which is a short-distance transportation ranging from seven or eight kilometers to fifteen or sixteen kilometers, and hiring locals to transport it by wheelbarrow, there is also a lot of profit margin.

Each batch of tailings is tested for gold content.

Since Xie Sipeng came to the door, Cao Mo also directly told him the quotation plan, that is, according to the 50% purification rate of tailings, after deducting the equipment depreciation, materials and personnel operating costs of the Yibo Gujian refining plant, 30% of the profits will be reserved for the purification plant for conversion.

"Purification factory, will Oqiaosan agree to me and Lao Yang's share?" Xie Sipeng asked.

He estimates that if the Ibogu Gold Mine can really build a team, the tailings purification rate will not be only 50%, even if it is only 50% initially, but there is no room for another 50% improvement in the future?

"The Felician family regards this as their core profit, and it is also very close to the interests ......of the Felician family that Abacha and the Felician family have cooperated very closely, so this time they can have a small stake with me," Cao Mo said.

Abacha has been studying Chinese very hard lately, and when he heard that the new refinery had something about him, his whole back straightened.

“...... You can ask Ochosan to come to Draculamo to talk. Xie Sipeng didn't want to give up this opportunity.

"Are you interested in investing in hydropower plants?"

At this time, Cao Mo would not let Xie Sipeng have the opportunity to intervene in the investment of the refinery, but in addition to the refinery, he had further plans waiting for Xie Sipeng, and asked seemingly off topic,

"There is still a lot of potential for hydropower development in the upper reaches of the Lujiaochuan River, if you are interested, I can help you fight for this. ”

"This is fine!" Xie Sipeng said excitedly.

The new transmission grid to Draculamo is nearing completion, and the first batch of Grey Raven stepped hydropower stations will be connected to the grid at the same time.

Xie Sipeng and Yang Deshan have been busy with the Conailuo Lake Industrial Park project during this time, and they have already figured it out.

Don't expect to be able to supply electricity to the factories in Lake Conero Industrial Park at 12 cents per kilowatt-hour, as there are also the operating costs of the regional grid, and even eight cents per kilowatt-hour to supply power to the new grid is hugely profitable.

Of course, the profit margins of the new transmission grid are even greater.

Initially, Taihua mentioned that he wanted to intervene in the construction of the upstream hydropower station, but was directly rejected by Ojosan (Cao Mo).

Xie Sipeng thought that their thighs were no thicker than Taihua, and there was no drama, but he didn't expect that there would be a chance to turn around at this time......
