Cao Mo rarely returned to China, no matter how unhappy he was, it was impossible to ignore domestic affairs, and after lunch, he and everyone followed Guo Donghu to the factory of Xinxuan Food to inspect the production situation here.

It has to be said that Dongsheng has been deeply involved in the grain and oil industry for many years, and the accumulated customer resources provide great convenience for Conero Foods to develop the market.

The production capacity of Xinxuan Food Factory was overloaded around the Spring Festival, and after the year, it rented a new plant nearby, and the three or four months were mainly to purchase additional equipment, recruit and train new employees, and the production capacity has more than doubled on the previous basis.

This is also the convenience of China, large and small industrial parks have already built ready-made factories, or leased or acquired, the purchase of equipment, the recruitment of employees can be quickly activated, and the park can also provide quite complete supporting services.

In a large park, there are even a group of manufacturers in the same industry or located in the upstream and downstream of the same industrial chain, providing unimaginable convenient conditions for the recruitment, business development, technical cooperation and so on of management and technical personnel.

The strong market demand determines that there is no weekend in the domestic manufacturing industry.

The same is true for Xinxuan Food, the front-line employees are working in shifts, today is the weekend, but the production line in the workshop has not stopped.

The middle and low-level managers here also continue to hire the old employees of Xinxuan Food Factory, even after renting the adjacent plant for expansion, they are mainly recruiting new front-line employees, and the management and technical team is under the leadership of Guo Donghu to maintain the operation of the domestic factory.

However, although the domestic chocolate consumption market has developed for more than 40 years, the scale is still limited, which also limits the demand for upstream products such as cocoa butter.

In terms of current demand for cocoa butter products, the United States and Western Europe are more than 10 times higher than China.

After the expansion of Xinxuan Food in the new phase, the scale of production capacity is not very large, but fortunately, Conero Food has opened up the upstream cocoa bean import and export trade, and the profit margin is very high in the current commodity market.

Of course, if Conero Foods wants to have great development, it will need to directly build factories in the United States and Western Europe in the future, but Cao Mo has no intention of thinking about this problem for the time being.

The cocoa plantation program is just getting started, and it will take at least five or six years for the plantations in Aguta and Drake to become large, which in itself requires continuous capital investment and is supported by strong profits from the downstream market, which also limits the further expansion of Conero Foods downstream.

And this is contrary to Dong Chengpeng's investment philosophy.

Dong Chengpeng and they hope to do large-scale as quickly as possible in a certain link of the industrial chain, compete for a larger market share with scale advantages, quickly cash out profits, and resolve the risk of investment, but Cao Mo wants to make the industrial chain longer.

There is no question of who is right and who is wrong.

Dong Chengpeng has rich practical experience and has a keener observation and thinking about the Chinese market, but Cao Mo thinks that the industrial layout of Conero Foods can take into account both China and West Africa, and it is destined to be a long industrial chain.

Cao Mo supported Xu Bin to build a product development and testing center of Tianyue Industry in China, and the fundamental reason is also here.

In the end, Xu Bin was unable to invite his former classmate and visiting professor Zheng Xiaoyuan of Xinhai University to join Tianyue, but in addition to cooperating with Zheng Xiaoyuan's National Engineering Laboratory of Automotive Power hosted by Xinhai University, Tianyue Industry still had to be recommended by Zheng Xiaoyuan to invite Zheng Xiaoyuan's colleague Huang Yijiang, a Chinese scientist when he studied and worked in Germany, to join Tianyue Industry and preside over the daily work of the product development and testing center.

Xu Bin and Xu Lizheng have long considered that there must be differences between West Africa and China in terms of geography, climate and other environments and user needs, and set up a small-scale product research and development team in Kanem at the beginning of the establishment of Tianyue Trading.

Limited by the actual level of industrial production and R&D in Kanem, the team led by Xu Lizheng does not have direct product design and development capabilities, but more analyzes and studies the geography, climate and specific needs of users in West Africa, clarifies the direction of new product development, and then hands it over to Huachen Industry's team in China to develop.

However, the R&D department of Huachen Industry has a completely indifferent attitude towards Xu Bin and Xu Lizheng's needs in this regard.

Or that the R&D department of Huachen Industry has become so sloppy that it is not capable of developing new products.

This finally prompted Xu Bin and Xu Lizheng to build an independent product development and testing center to develop Tianyue's own motorcycle products.

Xu Bin did not want to climb to the sky in a short period of time, and in a short period of time can enter the palace of high-end motorcycles such as recreational and off-road sports, and the product development and testing center was established at the beginning, the main focus was to develop motorcycles suitable for the special environment and user needs of West Africa.

Xu Bin has a very clear understanding of the success of Tianyue Trade in the West African market.

The previous success was mainly due to the foundation of Cao Mo's business in Kanem for many years, taking advantage of the price advantage, and suddenly connecting with the direct local demand, but in fact, their advantage could not be maintained for too long.

Xu Bin has a deep understanding of domestic counterparts and knows that the ability of competitors to develop the market is not weak, and China's reform and opening up in recent years has made domestic car companies extremely adaptable to the market.

Xu Bin expected that Huachen Industry would continue to be closed and conservative, and the advantages of Tianyue Trade would soon be exhausted.

It was a strong sense of crisis that made Xu Bin and Xu Lizheng determined to develop new models to consolidate their current advantages in the West African market, and for this reason he did not even advocate rushing to develop markets outside West Africa.

West and Central Africa have complex terrain, narrow tropical rainforests along the Gulf of Guinea, and transition from savannahs to tropical deserts to the north and east.

To be more precise, the few remaining giants of motorcycles, on the one hand, are far less wealthy than car companies, and on the other hand, they are far from paying enough attention to the West African market, and in previous years they even regarded it as a dumping ground for second-hand motorcycles.

"Foreign mid-to-high-end motorcycles, mainly

It is still the user who pursues performance, and even the heavy locomotive, the fuel consumed per kilometer is not enough to attract the attention of the user - this is almost the same situation in China, but in Kanem, the situation is different. On the one hand, Kanem has poor road conditions, on the other hand, there is a demand for cargo, and the local users want more powerful vehicles, but on the other hand, the local people's incomes are too low and the fuel price is high, which requires a powerful and fuel-efficient engine......"

"The development of new motorcycle engines is our medium- and long-term goal, and it is difficult to achieve immediate results, and the development of our current vehicle is mainly based on the local geographical and climatic characteristics of West Africa, and the corresponding adaptation of the old models is carried out. For example, in addition to the desert terrain, the rest of West Africa has very severe sand during the dry season, and the ground is very hard, which requires a change in the way the motorcycle takes in the air and the tires need to be widened, which is relatively easy to achieve......"

Huang Yijiang doesn't talk much, Xu Bin has worked in Huachen's R&D and production system for many years, although the R&D ability is not the same order of magnitude as Huang Yi'an, Zheng Xiaoyuan and others, but he also knows the conventional technical things.

Throughout the afternoon, he mainly introduced the newly established product development and testing center to Cao Mo, and the research work is being carried out in the fields of motorcycle engine, transmission system, driving system, control mechanism, electrical equipment, and braking system.

However, even an improved motorcycle will not be developed in three or five months, and ideally it will not be until the second half of next year that a relatively mature model dedicated to the West African region will be introduced to the market.

"Money burns like paper, the best situation is to wait until the second half of next year to launch a relatively mature model, so there is a high probability that it will not be pushed, even if it is launched, it is difficult to say whether the market will welcome it, and it is no wonder that Dong Chengpeng is not happy that you play like this......" Cao Mo pouted and said with a smile.

Xu Bin and Huang Yijiang are both quite desperate types, especially with such a large investment, but it will take a year and a half or even more to come up with the first product in the real sense, and they are also holding back their strength.

Even if it is a weekend, most of the R&D personnel continue to stay at their respective jobs and work overtime until 90 o'clock after having a meal in the canteen, and only leave after the task at hand is completed.

Cao Mo did not leave the development center after dark, and continued to talk about work with Xu Bin and Huang Yijiang while eating in their own canteen.

Xu Bin, Xu Lizheng and Zhou Jianming are all quite extroverted people, Cao Mo used to be with them, there were many topics to talk about, and his work was mainly based on topics such as market and business.

Huang Yijiang and several of his product technology development directors are more introverted, but after getting acquainted with them, they talk about technical topics endlessly.

Shen Ji, Chen Feng, and Guo Donghu were drowsy when they listened, but they had to stay with Cao Mo, but Cao Mo was relishing.

In the early years, when Chen Hua opened an auto repair shop on Longtan Road, his father was also one of the partners, and Cao Mo liked to run the auto repair shop to help after school.

After dropping out of school, he was hired to work in the machine repair workshop of the Qingjiang District factory of Dongsheng Group, and to Kanem, when there was no technician and engineer at first, Cao Mo Neng took Kabuja alone to play with the Ibogu gold mine, which was also the foundation accumulated in the early years.

Cao Mo has always liked to play with cars, and can also enjoy the fun of driving motorcycles, he likes to drive himself many times in Kanem and Akwa, and the driver and bodyguard sit comfortably in the car; he is familiar with the structure and performance of cars and motorcycles, and it can also be said that he has a considerable amateur level.

Later, seeing that Shen Ji, Chen Feng, Guo Donghu, Song Yuqing, Zhou Han, and Xu Xin were really not interested, Cao Mo said goodbye and left, but it was already nine o'clock at night.

However, Cao Mo asked Xu Bin to leave him an office in the development center.

After returning to China this time, he planned to go back to Kanem after two days of rest, but he didn't expect that such a trap was waiting for him. Even if the Lu family was coerced by him and agreed to find a way to withdraw the case, this would take a process, not three or five days.

Cao Mo didn't want Han Shaorong and the Lu brothers to think that he was weak-hearted, so he decided to accompany Zhou Han to stay in China during this time.

During this time of staying in China, if he didn't want to go to Dongsheng Building, the development center in addition to the research building and processing and testing workshop, there is also a small test site, and in addition to purchasing some of today's more mainstream motorcycles for performance testing and analysis, Cao Mo thought that he would come here to work, deal with the daily work at home and abroad, and find something else to do.

............

............

On the first day of returning to China, this kind of thing happened especially - Chen Rong would also tell his father to a certain extent that Cao Mo had to go back to the house first, no matter how adulterous and passionate he was.

After leaving the Zhiyun Lake Industrial Park, Cao Mo took Song Yuqing's car to the main street and alley of Tianzifang, shook his mobile phone at Song Yuqing, and signaled to call later.

In front of Zhou Han, Song Yuqing pretended not to see Cao Mo's hint and urged him to hurry down.

The country has also entered the middle of summer, Cao Mo returned to China in a hurry this time, did not carry any luggage, pushed open the half-hidden courtyard door, and saw his father, Jiaying, Chen Rong and Mrs. Cao were sitting in the bright living room.

He walked into the living room, put down his backpack, and smiled with Jiaying: "Don't stare at me, I came back in a hurry this time, and I didn't buy a gift......"

"Did you see Han Shaorong today?" Cao Xiong asked.

"See,"

Cao Mo sat on the sofa, seeing that his father was worried, but it was not particularly serious, thinking that Chen Rong should not tell all the details to his father and Jiaying, so he said lightly,

"In the past two years, I have been as low-key as possible when I returned to China, just for fear of attracting Han Shaorong's attention, but this time I was finally cheated by him. We originally negotiated the terms of cooperation with Xingang Union in Kanem and Akwa this time, and I rushed back to sign the cooperation agreement this time, but I didn't want this matter to be Han Shao a long time ago

Rong was stirred up, he was tricked like a monkey, and he was ridiculed!"

"Your current career also has a certain foundation, as long as you will not be caught by Han Shaorong, whether at home or abroad, do your business with peace of mind, Han Shaorong will never be able to cover the sky with one hand!" Cao Xiong sighed and said.

The domestic legal environment is improving day by day, and every three or five years they will crack down on gangsters and eliminate evil, clean up vicious cases and social tumors, Han Shaorong and the Lu family brothers, who have been whitewashed as justices of the peace, are even more afraid that they will be caught with any tricks, and finally end up in prison.

Therefore, Cao Mo is not worried that Han Shaorong and the Lu family brothers will use bottomless means to deal with his family when they are in China.

The real situation is still in Kanem and Akwa, but his father and Jiaying can't help with these things, and Cao Mo won't talk about them all, increasing their psychological burden.

"Han Shaorong wants to grab my family's handle, but didn't he just take me eight years ago?" Cao Mo sat comfortably on the sofa and said with a smile to his father.

"Humph!"

Cao Mo looked up and saw Han Shuyun holding a mug in her hand, she should have been about to go down the stairs, and hearing them talk about Han Shaorong in this tone, she was dissatisfied.

No. 118 has been renovated for two million, and the interior can be said to be a little luxurious, but the structure of the traditional house determines that the stairs are relatively steep and narrow, Han Shuyun is wearing a nightdress, and Cao Mo looks up and sees two tender white legs.

Cao Mo glanced at it, sat up straight, and asked Jiaying: "How are you going to spend this holiday?"

"Now that A-shares are in a big bull market, I can't make money, how can I have time to go abroad to play? Brother, how much money do you think I've made now?" Jiaying didn't mind Han Shuyun's presence, and happily showed off her gains in the securities market during this time.

"How much money did you make?"

Although Cao Mo asked Jiaying to make an analysis report to him before making every important investment decision, in fact, he did not pay attention to the fluctuations of the funds in the investment account, and almost completely handed it over to Jiaying to practice.

"Eighteen million!" Jia Ying said triumphantly, "When I told my dad that he made so much money, his eyes were stupid!"

"Huh?" Cao Mo was also stunned when she heard this.

He still signed an equity transfer agreement with Xu Bin and Xu Lizheng after the Spring Festival, and then Xu Bin and Xu Lizheng, with the help of Shen Ji, transferred 20 million of the acquisition money to him by the end of March through equity pledge loans.

In other words, from the beginning to the last three months, Jiaying's book surplus reached 90%?

In the morning, I heard Shen Ji say that the bull market caused by the reform of equity division was particularly magnificent, and he didn't feel anything, but when he heard Jiaying's gains during this time, he was also shocked.

If the stock market is so easy to make money, how many people are willing to invest in industry?

Today, Dong Chengpeng helped the Lu brothers speak in front of Ding Zhaoqiang, Shen Ji and Chen Rong both thought that Dong Chengpeng had interests with Lu Jianchao or Lu Jiancheng in private, but when he was at Jinchen Golf Course, Cao Mo saw that Dong Chengpeng was actually deeply involved with Han Shaorong, but Dong Chengpeng was very careful to cover this up in front of Ding Zhaoqiang, and Shen Ji and Chen Rong didn't see it.

Cao Mo can also be sure that Dong Chengpeng helped the Lu family brothers speak in front of Ding Zhaoqiang today, not because he had interests with the Lu family brothers and wanted to send a favor to the Lu family brothers, but because he was asked by Han Shaorong one step in advance.

This also made Cao Mo sure that Dong Chengpeng's recommendation of Xu Xin to be in charge of the daily affairs of the new office was ill-intentioned.

However, these were Cao Mo's instincts, but there was no way to find obvious evidence for a while, so he didn't tell Shen Ji and them.

Cao Mo has always been very strange in his heart, Dong Chengpeng and Ding Zhaoqiang have not suffered any losses over the years, their net worth is already very expensive, if they want to be considered successful in Xinhai, it is not Han Shaorong who can deceive him by throwing a bone casually, what benefits can Han Shaorong give Dong Chengpeng, so that he and Han Shaorong are so eye-browning, but at the same time, they deliberately hide this from Ding Zhaoqiang?

Cao Mo heard Jiaying talk about her achievements in the stock market at this time, a thought flashed through his mind, and he couldn't help but think, could it be that Dong Chengpeng and Han Shaorong have any cooperation in stock investment?

"Mom, I also want money to learn to speculate in stocks!" Han Shuyun took the mug and squeezed to Chen Rong's side like a coquettish and shouted.

"You don't count how much money you spend a month, what stocks are you learning to speculate?" Chen Rong said.

Dongsheng Group's share price has fallen for several years, and this time it has benefited from the bull market that has skyrocketed nearly twice, and Chen Rong's assets are also eight or nine billion, but Han Shuyun usually spends money lavishly, luxury brands can buy casually, but it is impossible to take one or two million to trample on it.

Even if there was no deliberate misleading by Cao Mo, Han Shuyun thought in her heart that no matter whether the Cao family ran a homestay, or what Cao Mo was doing in Africa, and Cao Jiaying's entry into the securities market to learn and invest was her mother's money, and she had unspeakable grievances and discomfort in her heart, and shouted willfully: "Cao Jiaying can do it, why can't I?"

"You kid, why do you get more stubborn the more you talk about it," Chen Rong now knows that she can't indulge her daughter's temper in everything, and she taught her a lesson with a straight face, "When will you really learn the school curriculum, don't fail the course, and you can get a special scholarship like Jiaying, publish a paper in your freshman year, and you will come to me again!"

Han Shuyun was about to have a seizure, but in a blink of an eye, she saw Cao Mo laughing insidiously, swallowed a bad breath, and shouted to her mother unconvinced: "I will prove it to you!"

"Why, such a simple and easy course in college is still missing?If you don't understand anything in Shuyun's homework, you can ask Jiaying to help you tutor and tutor, and you should be able to make up for it soon......" Cao Mo posted it and suggested with concern.

"Hmph, who wants you to be kind?" Han Shuyun shook a cold face, picked up the mug and went upstairs......
