Chapter XXXVII
(Thanks to the new alliance leader Li Qidonkey)
The biggest problem in the village is that there is no cheap and sufficient electricity supply.
If diesel pumps were used for irrigation, given the evaporation of Kanem's hot weather, it would not be profitable to grow staple grains, and the price of vegetables would eventually fall to a relatively high level.
Nearby farmers can't afford such a large investment and cost, and the whole project has no promotion value.
It is also undesirable.
Professor Zeng Xianzhi taught the locals to dig wells in the designated non-agricultural farm in Kasiga, and then purchased hand pumps from China to irrigate the surrounding grain and vegetable fields, and at the same time integrated mushroom cultivation, freshwater fish and poultry breeding, which has been in operation for nearly two years, and has been very impressive and popular with local farmers.
At present, Zeng Xianzhi is using the natural water level of the river to promote rice cultivation in the local area, which is also to help Kanem do some useful work in the real sense.
These measures are much more reliable than the promotion of drip irrigation technology in Kanem by the agricultural projects of European and American countries.
Cao Mo thought that Yibo Ancient Village would also adopt this model.
Digging a ditch and then using a diesel pump or diesel engine to generate electricity to drive a water pump, pumping water directly from the Lujiaochuan River for irrigation, this is too extravagant, he can't even think - this investment in equipment and the usual material consumption are beyond the range that Cao Mo can afford at this time.
The old chieftain Felician also hoped to make this project, and then spread it throughout the Lonta region, and he handed it over to his son Ojosan to participate in the discussion of how the tribe's land would be used.
It can also be seen that the elder Felician is old, and he still wants to reconcile with his son Felician Ojosan Jr., and let him take over the affairs of the tribe and the family.
Cao Mo first arranged for someone to drive Song Yuqing back to Draculamo, after all, he and Guo Jian were both doing private work outside, and in the office of the West Africa branch, there could not even be a dispatch employee in charge.
Cao Mo consulted with Ojosan and Abacha, and finally followed the old rules and registered the Felician Family Farm Company, with Lucy as the farm director for the time being.
Cao Mo provides major equipment and facilities leasing and technical support for cooperation, and takes over the operation and management of the farm company, enjoying 60% of the income rights.
The Felician family took out 1,000 acres of land to be reclaimed in the south of the tribe, on the west bank of the Lujiao River, and nominally owned all the shares of the Felician family farm company, but only enjoyed 20% of the income rights.
Abacha provides a portion of the lease of farm equipment and enjoys a 20 per cent interest in the farm.
Don't think that the Felician family took out a thousand acres of land to be reclaimed, and the actual right to income is very low, when in fact the price of land in Canem in 04 years is so low.
Not to mention the tower, even the land on the outskirts of Draculamo has an annual rent of only a dozen dollars per acre, and according to Kanem's law, it can be rented for up to ninety-nine years.
This is completely incomparable with China.
Cao Mo heard Song Yuqing say that the annual rent of the unofficially leased land in the suburbs of Xinhai City has reached almost 200 US dollars per mu.
Cao Mo agreed to make the main investment, but in the early stage, it was mainly used for digging wells, leveling the land, daily material consumption, personnel training and wages, and the capital contribution was limited; even if a newly purchased hand pump was needed, the price of shipping was quite limited, and the total amount of the first batch was only a few thousand dollars.
In this way, the profits from the gold mine can be fully supported, and there is no need for Cao Mo to deduct the small account.
Cao Mo didn't have the energy to take care of too many things, and since Abacha was so enthusiastic and earnest, he asked him to recommend a farm manager from the Sika family's plantation to take charge of the farm with Lucy.
Of course, Cao Mo still took Abacha and Felician Ojosan Jr. to Kasiga Aid Africa Farm to discuss cooperation with Professor Zeng Xianzhi.
In addition to agreeing to send 30 workers every day to receive guidance and training during the preparation period of the Ibogu Farm, he also promised the Ibogu Farm to directly hire a group of skilled agricultural technicians and workers from the Kasiga Farm.
The significance of aiding African farms is to promote projects and technologies in the local area, and Zeng Xianzhi is mainly doing demonstration projects in Cassiga, but the local area is too conservative.
He has been working on this project in Cassiga for almost two years, but his influence in the local area is not big enough, and the local officials are not active enough, and only a few thousand acres of agricultural land are radiated.
Cao Mo was willing to encourage the locals to build a new farm in Longta, and Zeng Xianzhi was very happy, and agreed to be a technical consultant for Yibogu Farm without hesitation.
The preliminary preparations were mainly to dig wells to ensure the supply of irrigation water, so Cao Mo directly hired several trained skilled well drillers from Kasiga Farm to work in Ibogu first.
Abacha also brought a bulldozer and other agricultural equipment from the Sika family's plantation and put them into the Ibogu farm.
The technicians who operate these agricultural equipment are also directly hired by Ibogu Farm, and when they are transferred, they directly carry out land leveling work such as clearing miscellaneous shrubs.

Yang Deshan did not return to Draculamo until the end of November, and after he arrived at Draculamo, he also recalled Guo Jian and Cao Mo as soon as possible.
If he was directly fired or ordered to resign by Dongsheng, Cao Mo would not care, but in any case, he has been stationed in Draculamo for two years, and he has almost received two years of "high salary" for nothing, and most of the start-up capital to take over the Ibogu gold mine is also due to this.
After receiving a call from Yang Deshan, Cao Mo also rushed back to Draculamo as soon as possible.
Cao Mo set off late, while Guo Jian and his team drove around Cadero, the capital of Oyo State, and rushed back to the West Africa branch's staff dormitory in Draculamo at about the same time.
Guo Jian now looks dark and thin, and it can be seen that he has not suffered less in the Qiao Nai Gold Mine in the past two or three months, but Cao Mo has been busy for three or four months in the early stage, and he has to go into battle to do everything himself, but when things gradually enter the track, even if the busy rhythm is still the same every day, the specific and trivial daily work is better than Kabuja, Owema and others are in charge, and people are much more relaxed.
Guo Jiangang stopped and saw Cao Mo coming from the villa behind, and didn't say anything, so he walked directly to the house.
Cao Mo rented another place in the same community, Lucy and Kabuja both resigned from the branch, and Sterna came from the Ibogu tribe to take over the work of the cook, Yang Deshan and Guo Jian were already aware of it, and the reaction was also very flat.
How can they react?
Everyone has been busy with their own private work in the past few months, leaving Song Yuqing alone in the branch.
As long as Song Yuqing has no opinion on the candidate, what opinions do Yang Deshan and Guo Jian have to express, and they are not afraid of being sprayed back by Song Yuqing?
"At present, the group has set up an overseas investment division and decided to increase its investment business in Africa, and the West Africa branch will also be directly managed by Shen Ji, vice president of the business department. In the past two days, six employees of the group will fly to Dracula Hammer to strengthen the West African branch, and I rushed back in advance to arrange so much food, clothing, housing and transportation. In the future, I will continue to serve as the general manager of the West Africa branch, and the deputy general manager will be Wang Jianzhong from the former food department, and the branch will add a new production department, which will be in charge of Wang Jianzhong - Shen Ji is expected to rush to Draculamo at any time to guide our work......"
As soon as Cao Mo entered the house, he was called to the second floor by Yang Deshan.
The four of them sat around a tea machine in the small living room on the second floor, and Yang Deshan introduced the process of establishing the group's overseas investment division with a serious expression.
Dongsheng has developed from a township enterprise and currently has five or six thousand employees, but in recent years, the industry has mainly concentrated in the fields of building profiles and grain and oil processing.
While the domestic market competition is becoming more and more fierce, the labor cost is getting higher and higher, and the environmental protection is becoming more and more stringent.
Listening to Yang Deshan's introduction of these situations, Cao Mo was also calm, which was still in line with Song Yuqing's judgment, or the gossip she heard was still accurate.
Yang Deshan saw that Cao Mo was a little absent-minded, looked over, and said quite seriously:
"Shen Ji is the grandson of the old man Ding Xuesheng, who returned from studying in the United States two years ago, and after joining the group, he directly served as the deputy minister of the Ministry of Food......
Cao Mo can be said to be the most ordinary grassroots employee in Dongsheng, he has been working in the machine repair workshop when he was in China, and it is really not very clear what is involved between the senior management of the group with five or six thousand employees.
Hearing Yang Deshan's emphasis, he understood.
This Shen Ji turned out to be the grandson of Ding Xuesheng, the founder of Dongsheng Group, and the nephew of Ding Zhaoqiang, the chairman of the group at this time.
The West Africa Branch will not only be directly in charge of Shen Ji in the future, but Wang Jianzhong, who is about to lead the team to serve as the deputy general manager of the West Africa Branch, is also Shen Jisai's cronies who want to set up Yang Deshan's eyeliner.
It is no wonder that Yang Deshan rushed back to Draculamo, as if he was facing a great enemy.
When he entered the door, he saw Guo Jian's relaxed expression, Cao Mo knew that their development of the Qiao Nai gold mine should be quite smooth, and the follow-up was mainly a matter of additional investment.
However, the current capital investment of the Qiaonai gold mine is slightly lower than the cumulative total investment of the Ibogu gold mine, which is mainly rock gold mining, and the recruitment of local workers to work is certainly not as good as that of the Ibogu gold mine.
Even if the grade of the Qiaonai gold deposit is comparable to that of the Yibo paleorock gold mine, Cao Mo estimates that their daily mining capacity should only be about three or four hundred grams.
Compared to their investment, if they can maintain this amount of gold mining, it is quite good.
However, as a rock gold mine, the Qiaonai Gold Mine needs continuous additional equipment investment with the gradual mining depth, so they can only expand the assets of the Qiaonai Gold Mine, especially the equipment assets, in the next one to two years, but it is impossible to recover the investment in advance.
Cao Mo's situation in the Ibogu gold mine is similar, and when he makes a little money, he has to constantly add new equipment and engage in the construction of the mining area.
For Yang Deshan now, the Jonai gold mine is just a venture capital for him.
If the situation changes or something else, I don't know if the continuous investment in the gold mine will be able to get him a lot of wealth and live a luxurious life as a young model in the clubhouse from now on.
At this time, it was impossible for him to give up the position of general manager of the West Africa branch, which could bring him at least four or five hundred thousand yuan a year.
If you don't want to give up, you can't let the group know about his private work in Kanem.
In this regard, the Group's constraints on middle and senior managers are much stronger than those of ordinary employees.
Cao Mo's matter was revealed, and it was over if he took the initiative to resign.
And Yang Deshan's private investment in the Qiao Nai gold mine and the use of the resources of the West African branch were exposed, which was more troublesome than Cao Mo.
The four of them first had to unify their voices, and then shut the mouths of the company's local employees.
The mouths of the local hired workers are so closed, Kabuja and Lucy have resigned, and the other two hired workers have been pulled by Guo Jian to work in the Qiao Nai gold mine, and they can be said to be Guo Jian's cronies.
The key is still Cao Mo's place, and the cook Sterna is still Cao Mo from the Ibogu tribe......
