(Thanks to the Golden Alliance Liao Ziyu for his support...... ）

Seeing Yang Deshan pulling Feng Rui to teach him face-to-face, Cao Mo told Song Yuqing about his plan.

If you register an import and export trading company in China, you may also bring the official seal and financial seal to Kanem, but if you really want to implement the import and export trade of bulk commodities, you actually have to find the right trader or manufacturer in China for docking.

The main role of the trading company he registered was still to serve as a bridge for the flow of funds, or just as a reservoir for him to transfer profits from Kanem.

These operations are actually quite cumbersome, and he needs to communicate with domestic enterprises from time to time, so Cao Mo wants to find Song Yuqing to help him do these things.

"You are still making new investments in Kanem, how much money can you transfer back to China in a year?" Song Yuqing asked curiously.

"As it stands, I guess it will have to be four or five million dollars a year to transfer some of the profits back home through trade - it's hard to say how much it will be in the future. Cao Mo said.

"So much!" Song Yuqing knew that Cao Mo actually controlled the Yibogu gold mine, the cement factory and the power company, but she didn't expect Cao Mo to make new investments every year, and he could transfer so many additional profits to the country, "You really grabbed the bank?"

"Phew, it's better to rob the bank than to rob you," Cao Mo spatted Song Yuqing and said, "I didn't consider transferring part of the profits to China, and the new profits in the next year can almost be invested in the construction of new hydropower and cement production capacity, but when the Taihua and Jidam families are involved in the trouble, I feel a little empty, and I always want to leave a way out for myself." However, if I want to transfer some of the profits back to China, the funds for new construction will not be enough, and I am having a headache. ”

Cao Mo told Song Yuqing about his idea of directly building a medium-sized stepped hydropower station on the Ibogu River: "On the one hand, the transmission grid can be built before the end of the year, and after the completion of the medium-sized hydropower station, even if the construction of the new cement plant is delayed, it will actually be quite profitable to supply 100 million kilowatt-hours to Dracula Modo every year through the transmission grid; more importantly, I still want to make good use of the next dry season to build a dam." Otherwise, if the start is delayed for four or five months, and the dry season is missed, the entire construction cycle of the hydropower station will be delayed by the next rainy season by four or five months, and the total time before and after will be nearly a year. However, even taking into account that in three or four months, the cement storm will gradually subside and prices will fall back to the level at the beginning of the year, the investment in this hydropower plant is still as high as 18 million US dollars. To be honest, I wouldn't have had much financial pressure if I hadn't been aware of Taihua's intention to smuggle with the Jidam family, and I had planned to get them involved in investing in the construction of one or two hydropower plants. ”

"Your cooperation with the Felician family is similar to the BOT model, have you ever thought of using the BOT model to find the Zhongtu Group to build this hydropower station?" Song Yuqing asked.

"BOT?" Cao Mo was out of high school, and Ye Luzi was born, so he couldn't figure out what the three letters of BOT meant for a while.

Song Yuqing couldn't help but glance at Heng Cao Mo with disdain, she didn't know how he, a wild man, could toss so many things in Yibogu, and said:

"BOT, which is the abbreviation of construction, operation and transfer, is usually a cooperation model between the government and private institutions for infrastructure investment, construction and operation. If the construction permit of the medium-sized hydropower station on the Ibogu River is legal and compliant, and you have completed all the formalities, you can temporarily transfer the financing and construction and operation for a certain period of time to the Zhongtu Group. After the specified number of years, they will recover the construction costs and sufficient profits from the operation, and then transfer the facilities and operating rights to you free of charge. The simplified version of the BT model is to entrust the China Earth Group with full authority, and you will directly pay the full amount of the project to receive the hydropower station after completion. If the transmission grid has not been started before, it is impossible for Zhongtu Group to negotiate with you about commissioned construction, after all, the risk is too great to pass the risk control within their group. However, the transmission grid is currently under construction by China and Earth Group, and they are well aware that the construction of hydropower stations upstream is a stable income project, and the internal risk assessment will be very fast. Even if you can't pay for the project after completion, they will continue to control the operation rights of the hydropower station, and deduct the project money step by step from the operating income, and the risk will become limited...... BT or BOT, or a clause between BOT and BT, it is okay, depending on how you arrange your own funds?"

"It's so complicated!" Cao Mo cried out with a pat on his head, "You can help me think about which model is most beneficial to me, and at the same time, it is indeed possible to sign an agreement with the Middle Earth Group in the name of the Felician family power company......"

His previous approach in Ibogu was mainly brutal and hard.

Based on his keen intuition that was almost telepathic and had an extremely precise insight into the human heart, he confirmed that the old chieftain Felician and Abacha could trust that after negotiating the distribution of rights, they continued to install equipment, expand mines and factories when they had money, and the investment that had been rolling never stopped.

In the end, the cement factory was built like a broken kiln, but it had nothing to do with it, and it didn't affect the money anyway.

As for the relationship with the Lonta locality, the promise is a 3% profit tax, but in fact, the Lonta City Hall did not send someone to audit.

According to local tradition, the tax department of the town hall does not collect taxes outside the municipality.

Ibogu was able to give a symbolic thirty or fifty thousand dollars, and the city council was very beautiful, and he didn't think about checking the accounts or anything at all.

It was only at the launch of the Lake Conero Industrial Park project that I thought about formally signing a tax package.

Cao Mo didn't need to think about too complicated financial, tax and financial issues before, and he used to learn and work at the same time, mainly to explore and overcome various practical problems encountered in his work.

Now he has to rush the construction period, and he has to use the limited funds more efficiently, and many financial models and tools have to be used.

That's not his forte.

"The BOT model usually has a long lifespan, and when you see the benefits of the hydropower station, you will not hand over the hydropower station to China Earth Group for twenty or thirty years after completion, so you don't need to rush to start the project."

Song Yuqing thought for a while and said to Cao Mo,

"And you want to compress the construction period into one year, and after a year you may not be able to raise enough money for the project - but you actually negotiated an agreement with China Earth Group to buy back the construction without any number of years of operation. The China Soil Group only calculates that the entire project has enough profits, and there is no chance to talk about it......"

"Do you want the Felician family to hire you as a private financial advisor?" Cao Mo looked at Song Yuqing's face that made the sunset shine particularly smooth, and asked very seriously.

"I'm only a few pounds and a few taels, how can I be qualified to be a financial advisor?" Song Yuqing said faintly.

"What's wrong?" Cao Mo asked.

"The group should bring in a formal chief financial officer to ......," Ms. Song said.

Cao Mo patted his head, only to know that Song Yuqing felt blocked by this.

The West Africa branch has had no business for a long time, and Yang Deshan rarely comes to Draculamore, so Cao Mo and Guo Jian are supporting the scene, so naturally they don't need full-time finance.

Any bills are sent back to China for reimbursement, and even their wages are directly transferred to their domestic cards from the group.

After Song Yuqing came over, the business volume of the branch was only 100,000 or 200,000 US dollars per month, and the financial work was quite limited.

It was only when the Overseas Investment Affairs Department was established that Wang Wen was sent over to buy a crushing plant in Kanem to expand palm oil imports.

In addition to the annual production capacity of the crushing plant will exceed 20,000 tons, the scale of oil palm land acquisition will be larger, the aluminum profile trading business is also steadily expanding, and the West Africa branch will be directly upgraded to a first-class subsidiary, and then the group will further strengthen the financial supervision here.

Dongsheng's arrangement makes its own sense, but when it falls on Song Yuqing's personal head, she feels somewhat depressed about being peached.

"Who will the group transfer over this time, do you want me to find two big black men to scare her back?" Cao Mo asked with Song Yuqing's beautiful face.

"Go!" Song Yuqing glanced at Cao Mo and said, "You still have to worry about your own business, I don't want you to worry about it—by the way, the scale of production in Ibogu is getting bigger and bigger, how do you solve the manpower?"

On the one hand, the lack of trust in local employees by Chinese businessmen investing in Kanem is partly due to the lack of high-quality workers in the local area, except for Draculamo, an old colonial center.

Where can it be like China, where four or five million college graduates pour into the talent market every year, waiting for all kinds of enterprises to choose like livestock?

Cao Mo's rhetoric, even in reality, Yang Deshan, Xie Sipeng, these old rivers and lakes are convinced, that is, in Ibogu, except for Cao Mo himself, there is no one who is not a local employee.

Song Yuqing now knows the truth, but she is also very puzzled how Cao Mo managed to hold up such a big stall as Ibogu, relying on the help of Kabuja and Lucy?

They have also had many contacts with the old chief Felician, who is an experienced elder in Kanem, but when it comes to the understanding of business management and community building, he may not be as good as an old man who smokes a cigarette and brags about it.

Ochosan was a scholar, but he lived in Catro to teach, and he did not care about the affairs of the tribe.

"How to say it," Cao Mo touched his head and said, "Compared with China, there must be a gap, and it is also very big, but it is not as bad as imagined, and it is not ...... shaped."

At present, although the hydropower feed-in tariff negotiated with Sika Aidet Power Grid Company is 8 cents per kilowatt-hour, leaving a very large profit margin for the transmission grid, in fact, after the completion of the hydropower station group, as long as local employees can be organized to establish a mature operation and maintenance team, the actual operation and maintenance costs can be controlled quite low.

However, this is precisely the contradiction that Kanem had struggled to resolve before.

There is no local capital to start the construction of large-scale hydropower plant clusters.

Foreign capital is large enough, but there is a lack of trust in local employees, and operation management and technical personnel have to be hired from abroad with high salaries.

In addition to the fact that three or four foreign employees will eat up a considerable amount of profits from a small hydropower station, the more difficult thing is that these small hydropower stations are built deep in the mountains and old forests, and no matter how high the annual salary is, it is difficult to recruit foreign employees who are willing to guard this boring job.

As a result, in such a close place to Draculamo, there are good small hydropower resources, but they have not been able to make full use of the development until this time.

Cao Mo does not have a crisis of confidence in local employees.

To be honest, it is very difficult to find suitable management and technical personnel from mining areas, power companies, and building materials companies, but there are still some in Catelo, the capital of Oyo state.

In addition to Wendy Calif, Cao Mo also used a monthly salary of $400 to $600 to recruit four teachers of electrical engineering, mechanical engineering and materials science from Catelo State College, and this year he used his monthly salary of $200 to select the best 40 graduates from Catlrow State College to join the company.

Previously, the Catro Gold Mining Company was disbanded due to the depletion of gold reserves, and more than a dozen engineers and technicians were all covered by Cao Mo, in fact, they were all mechanical, electrical, and geological mining engineers with a fairly good level, and they were satisfied with a monthly salary of only two hundred and fifty US dollars.

And this Xinhai, whose monthly salary is in 05 years, is even difficult to recruit kitchen dishwashers.

It was precisely Cao Mo who brought this group of people over, which suddenly alleviated the shortage of senior technicians and engineers in the mining area and the factory area.

The cement plant has the most adequate manpower allocation, and even has a lot of wealth, which is actually a reserve for the new plant.

At present, whether it is gold mining, cement production, power station operation and management, or the planned construction of modern new cement plants in the future, they all belong to the traditional manufacturing industry in China, and are far from being a high-tech industry.

Even when preparing to build a new cement plant, Cao Mo felt that there was no obstacle that could never be overcome with the existing manpower.

The key is to address the crisis of confidence.

This is also the biggest divergence between Cao Mo, Xie Sipeng and Yang Deshan in the Conero Lake Industrial Park project.

Of course, Cao Mo has no strong intention of persuading Xie Sipeng and Yang Deshan now.

Now it is Dongsheng who leads the construction of Conero Lake Industrial Park, even if people with management experience are selected from Dongsheng to be responsible for operation and management, Cao Mo will not object to anything.

In any case, his biggest purpose in promoting the Conero Lake Industrial Park project is to prepare for the construction of a new cement plant.

Whether the industrial park itself can be profitable or not, he is not particularly concerned.

When Xie Sipeng, Yang Deshan and even Dongsheng are forced to consider cutting various costs, they will know how cheap it is to hire operation management personnel from the local area.

"How can you trust the local staff?" asked Song Yuqing curiously.

"Intuition. ”

Cao Mo replied honestly, but she was slapped by Song Yuqing.

"Let's just put it this way, whether it is the developed countries of Europe and the United States, or China, is there any country that has not experienced an era of bloody chaos and ignorance of the people? Could it be that in those bloody and chaotic times when the people were ignorant, the people's hearts were all bad, and no one was worthy? Kanem is much more backward than China, and the overall education quality of its citizens may be equivalent to the level before China's liberation, but it does not mean that this country with a total population of 150 million cannot even pick out 350,000 engineers."

Cao Mo could only make up some reasons to coax Song Yuqing,

"Of course, vigilance is necessary, this country is much more chaotic and complex than at home, but there are also many people in the country who have begun to swell, forgetting that just over 50 years ago, we were also discriminated against by the Western world as the sick man of East Asia. I don't think there's any problem with letting go of prejudices and discrimination and choosing slowly - especially when we come to do business, we can't discriminate against others in our hearts, and we are full of thoughts about making other people's money. The branch has hired so many employees from the local area, has it ever gone wrong?"

Song Yuqing held her cheeks in her hands, and felt that although Cao Mo said that there were some deficiencies in some particularly professional fields, she had to admit that he looked at the problem much deeper and wider than herself.

"By the way, Yang Deshan took Wang Wen's specific preparations for the Conero Lake Industrial Park, and I will take her to Ibogu tomorrow, and you can go over with you...... Cao Mo said.

"What did I do in the past?" asked Song Yuqing.

"I think the idea you just said is still feasible, so I want to talk to Liang Siqian first, I'm afraid that my brain is stupid and can't figure out the idea, you can help me with the staff officer?" Cao Mo said.

“...... If you know you're stupid, I'll help you. Song Yuqing raised her head proudly, indicating that she accepted Cao Mo's somewhat false excuse.
