Chapter 122: Trade Choices
(Thanks to the Golden Alliance drunkyong, the monthly pass is 7,000 plus a chapter...... )
Cheng Xi still honestly went back with her father.
Cao Mo closed the courtyard door, drank the water upstairs, saw Yu Jing and Chen Chang looking out in their pajamas, and asked, "Woke you all up?"
"Is Cheng Xi's tutor so strict? What time is it, and Cheng Xi still has to go home?" Chen Chang asked suspiciously, "I, Yu Jing, and Yu Jing have eaten with her parents, and they look very kind!"
"Cheng Xi's father is fine, her mother is ......" Cao Mo deliberately shuddered.
"......" Yu Jing sneered and said angrily, "Aunt Yang is such a good person, you are so exaggerated!"
Yu Jing has been in the same dormitory with Cheng Xi University for four years, and she has lived in Cheng Xi's house many times, so she naturally has more contact with Cheng Xi's parents - if Yu Jing wasn't embarrassed, Cheng Xi's parents would have wanted her to live in her house directly.
Cao Mo put on a look of "you don't understand", and went back to the house to continue sleeping.
When she got up the next day, Cao Mo didn't wait for Yu Jing and Chen Chang, she went out for breakfast with a notebook on her back, and then jogged to the company, which was only twenty minutes.
When Song Yuqing arrived at the company, she saw that Cao Mo had arrived at the company earlier than her, and she had already sat down at the workstation, revealing an incredible expression.
Of course, Cao Mo asked Song Yuqing to go over to talk to him for a while, and Song Yuqing's beautiful eyes were horizontal, so she walked to the financial office area by herself.
It's dusk in Kanem.
Now that Ibogu's communication was connected, Cao Mo asked Kabuja, Lucy, and Wendiscafe to write an email report, but Kabuja was not too used to it.
Cao Mo read a few short work emails in half an hour, and searched the Internet for the trade status of Kanem's export of bulk commodities to China.
Kanem's current exports are mainly oil and natural gas, accounting for more than 90 percent of its trade volume, but it is a pity that China's energy development in Kanem and the whole of Africa is very late, Kanem's oil and gas are mainly exported to Europe, America and Japan, and a small part is exported to China, but this is an area that Cao Mo is not qualified to set foot in for the time being.
In addition to oil and gas, Kanem's bulk commodities exported to China include palm oil that Dongsheng is making, logs, cocoa (the main raw material for chocolate), rubies, tobacco, cotton, as well as metal and non-metallic deposits such as gold, iron, copper, zinc, graphite, etc., which are basically based on raw materials.
Kanem imports a wide variety of goods from China.
Consumer goods are mainly small commodities such as textiles, shoes, hats, bags, toys, as well as household appliances, lamps and lanterns, and furniture, but the export scale of consumer goods is still small, accounting for about 30 percent, and the larger scale is construction machinery, electrical communication equipment, transportation and various building materials, reflecting that China's manufacturing strength has risen to a certain level......
This basically reflects the level of economic development of the two countries at this stage.
Among Kanem's raw material-based export commodities, Cao Mo has to take into account the actual situation of Longta and Xinhai, and the types of trade that can be done are very limited.
Although there are abundant forest resources in the northern part of Longta, Cao Mo is psychologically resistant to cutting down forest resources in a large area.
Even if the port is built in Lake Conero in the future, he has no intention of getting involved in this industry, and will even encourage Abacha to regulate the orderly development of Lontasensen resources as soon as possible in the municipal council.
And he wants to trade palm oil, even if he buys crude palm oil from Lunta and nearby areas and sells it to Dongsheng, he is actually in direct competition with Dongsheng.
Gold imports are not what he has the resources to do now.
There are relatively rich iron and bauxite resources in the eastern part of Longta, and the development of iron and bauxite ore should be large-scale, and the cost is too high.
In a short period of time, there were no conditions for the construction of a large port to dock large iron ore ships in Lake Conero.
At present, several small iron ore mines in Oyo and Ogun oblasts use small barges to transport the mined iron ore to the port of Draculamo, sell it to iron ore exporters there, and then load it into super-large ore ships that can dilute the cost of shipping very low and sell them overseas.
Xinhai and its surrounding provinces and cities are China's largest steel production bases, and its iron ore is mainly imported from overseas.
Iron and aluminum ore was probably the only bulk trade he could do in Ronta or Draculamo, apart from cocoa and kanem rubies.
In the later stage, he really had a relatively large capital scale, and he could even directly intervene in the iron ore mining of Longta.
The problem is that large mining ships are too large to carry.
Taking refined iron ore as an example, the value of a single shipment of goods is tens of millions of dollars, and if he only intends to transfer four or five million dollars of profits to China every year, he will have to make up two years to make an order!
It's so annoying!
Could it be that in addition to hoarding gold, he also has to hoard iron ore in Longta?
Iron ore hoarding is riskier, and if a situation arises, it is not like a few hundred kilograms of gold can be transferred at any time, and even if the gold is not transferred in time, it should be no problem to store it in a private safe at the United Bank of Oman.
In the early stage, cocoa and rubies can be made, and even a cocoa butter processing plant can be built directly in the Lake Conero Industrial Park, and the investment is quite limited.
Cao Mo contacted several food companies in Xinhai that use cocoa butter and cocoa butter as raw materials to inquire about the supply.
These food companies are not large-scale, and it is complicated to apply for foreign exchange if they want to import raw materials directly from overseas.
Cao Mo registered a trading company in China in advance, and their settlement in RMB is still quite popular, but several of them said that they would negotiate after Cao Mo established a registered company, and the payment method was also cash on delivery.
Xinhai is also the world's largest gem processing base, Kanem ruby production is not high, but it enjoys a good reputation in the world, but the quality of rubies is too different, contact several processing manufacturers, all require to see the goods.
Ruby imports are the best.
As long as you declare customs truthfully and pay the corresponding taxes and fees, Cao Mo can transport human flesh every time she returns to China.
The point is to bring goods from Kanem to China, which is much safer, as long as you don't get targeted by criminal gangs before Dracula Mo boards the plane.
Of course, the production of rubies in Kanem is not high, and it is mainly monopolized by several gem mining, Cao Mo can buy rubies in Kanem, the price is not low, and if it is stuck by tariffs, there will be no profit at all.
It is more feasible to build a cocoa processing plant and import cocoa butter into China, which can be developed as an industry and the scale can increase the trade volume.
As the trade volume increases, the scale of profits withheld in the country can also be adjusted at will.
If you want to keep more profits in the country, you should make the profits of the domestic trading companies higher, and if you want to keep more capital in Kanem, you should make the profits of the domestic trading companies lower.

At eleven o'clock, Song Yuqing passed by casually, standing next to his workstation with a water glass, looking at the corridor outside, as if he was taking a break during work, looking for old colleagues to come over and chat:
"You are a little famous in the headquarters, and the work group of the real estate department is talking about your toad wanting to eat swan meat!"
"Ah," Cao Mo was slightly stunned, not knowing whether these words were deliberately coming from the slanted eyes or the fetal face, and asked curiously, "You can talk about gossip in the work group casually, and no one in the real estate department cares?"
"Work groups, of course, there are groups with leaders and groups without leaders!" Song Yuqing said.
"How do you know about the QQ group chat gossip of the real estate department?
"I've joined a lot of groups, otherwise I'll be bored in Dracula Moor!" Song Yuqing said proudly, "For the time being, no one here knows about it, but it is estimated that it will be spread soon, and you want to make girls outside the sea in the future, it's difficult." ”
"Why are you gloating?" Cao Mo said distressedly.
"The guy surnamed Tian looks pretty good, he dresses very fashionably, he just joined the company and drove an Audi, I heard that his family background is very good! You are a neighbor with her, and you are a childhood sweetheart!" Song Yuqing gossiped with great interest.
Cao Mo saw Song Yuqing leaning her back against his desk, her skirt-wrapped buttocks squeezing out a beautiful solitary shape, and reached out to touch it.
Song Yuqing glared at him head, raised the water glass and made a gesture to splash it: "I'm going to die!" threw a business card of an accounting firm on his desk, turned around and left.
Looking at this accounting firm named Baocheng, it was on the twelfth floor of Dongsheng Building, Cao Mo didn't call, just ran to the twelfth floor with his work card.
Compared with the major departments of Dongsheng Group, the entire floor is divided into a limited large office area, which is obviously bright and open, and the twelfth floor is mainly leased by some small companies, and there are more than 20 offices distributed along the circular corridor.
Cao Mo saw that the door of Baocheng Accounting Firm was hidden, knocked on the door and no one answered, pushed open and saw that the room was a micro-shaped front desk, and no one sat in the back, inside was an office area of fifty or sixty square meters, two rows of data cabinets were placed against the wall, and in the middle was a row of desks, with only six workstations.
There were two female employees who were answering the phone, and they saw Cao Mo coming in, and they showed puzzled looks, obviously not hearing Cao Mo knock on the door.
In addition to the public office area, there is a small office inside, and through the glass door, a young man of twenty-eight or nineteen years old is sitting at his desk answering the phone.
The young man saw Cao Mo walk in, and motioned through the glass door for him to find a place to sit outside.
Cao Mo saw that there was a small reception area by the window, walked over and sat on the sofa, and could see the silver light square outside the window.
After a while, the young man came over and said with a smile: "Manager Cao, right? I'm Chen Feng from Baocheng—just now Manager Song called and said that he saw you coming downstairs, guess you should have come directly." My lover Zhang Li and Manager Song are classmates, and a few days ago I talked about you to register a trading company in China - Zhang Li and I set up this small company two years ago, Manager Cao should not be shabby......"
"How can it be? It's easy to find acquaintances, and you can rest assured. Cao Moxin said how could Song Yuqing introduce this company, it turned out that the fertilizer water did not flow into the fields of outsiders.
It is more convenient to have acquaintances, the only pity is that it is inconvenient to bargain for Song Yuqing's face.
"It's almost time for dinner, why don't we find a place to eat, and then talk about what do you want?" Chen Feng said.
Cao Mo originally wanted to say that he didn't have any special requirements, and he could slip away by signing an agency agreement, but when he thought of finding a place to eat at noon, wouldn't he be able to shout Song Yuqing together?
"Okay, you can make an appointment with Manager Song and ask you to help, this meal must be invited!" Cao Mo said politely.
"I've booked a seat at Silverlight Plaza, let's go over first, Manager Song said she has something to do here, and she will go over by herself later. Chen Feng said.
Mao Shi, who lies without blinking, obviously doesn't want to go in and out of Dongsheng Building with him in the company.
