"Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!"

Wang Wen fired five shots in a row, and the gun hit the target, very satisfied with the results of her shooting training in Ibogu during the Spring Festival holiday, and raised her pistol to show off to Feng Rui: "How about it, if a robber comes to find death, I can kill one or two people at this level, right?"

"If you pull the paper target directly in front of your nose, you can still hit the bull's-eye!" Seeing Wang Wen hit a five-meter target, he was proud, and Cao Mo, who was standing aside and chatting with Yang Deshan, couldn't help but complain.

"That's better than those who pull the target in front of their eyes and nose, and they may not be able to hit the target!" Wang Wen's psychological resistance to blows has now been greatly improved, pulling Song Yuqing out to cushion his back.

"I'm at a good level now, okay!" Song Yuqing said unconvinced.

Wang Wen and Feng Rui did not return to China during the festival, but they stayed in Kanem and could still enjoy the Spring Festival holiday. They didn't have much to go to when they stayed in Draculamo, so they followed Song Yuqing to live in a wooden building by the lake.

Just in time for the security company's shooting training ground to be completed on the eve of the Spring Festival, they spent seven days eating and drinking, and they also shot thousands of rounds of Cao Mo, and passed the addiction of a firearm.

"Mr. Yang, are you going to play two too?" Wang Wen said to Yang Deshan.

"I'll forget it, listening to your guns 'bang bang', my heart can't stand it, how dare I have the heart to play with guns by myself." Yang Deshan waved his hand and refused.

Although Chinese businessmen can legally carry guns in Kanem, Yang Deshan and Xie Sipeng, like most other Chinese businessmen, find it too troublesome to keep firearms or something, and would rather hire bodyguards than apply for a gun license.

And even if he really encountered the robbers, Yang Deshan would rather let the robbers snatch all the money and property from him than he did when he arrived at Kanem on the first day, rather than really take out a gun and shoot at the robbers.

"Taihua is willing to pay a deposit of 16 million US dollars, and I can only reluctantly take a step back, otherwise what else? When do you bring the agreement, I will sign it directly, I believe that Lu Yan, the turtle son, will not want to see me." Cao Mo stood at the door of the shooting room and said to Yang Deshan.

"Are you still embarrassed?" Yang Deshan said with a smile, "Lu Yan was dragged back to China by Lu Jianchao the day before yesterday, he has a stinky temper at this point, it is estimated that Lu Jianchao can't stand him, and bringing him back to China will help him calm down - it is strange to say, Mr. Shen said that Lu Yan was a little domineering in his bones before, but his temper is not so bad, it seems that he is still one thing to one thing, he is destined to be eaten to death by you!"

"Who knows which Tai Sui he committed, and I'm not so annoying!" Cao Mo would not tell Yang Deshan about Zhou Han at this time, pretending to complain inexplicably, and standing in the aisle with Yang Deshan to discuss things.

Even if Yang Deshan only has a small stake in Conero Energy, with the current scale of investment, the expected profit has exceeded his income in Dongsheng at this time.

Counting the rapid rise in the international gold price after the Spring Festival, calculating the dividends he can get from the Qiao Nai gold mine, from 30,000 US dollars last month, can increase to 40,000 US dollars, and can increase to 50,000 or 60,000 US dollars in the future, his mood is also extremely smooth.

Of course, he couldn't think about what opportunities he missed in Ibogu.

With Taihua's $16 million deposit, Conero Energy is equivalent to an interest-free loan of $16 million.

Now it's time to discuss how to spend the extra cash.

Shen Jiren is in China, and their part of the equity is mainly represented by Yang Deshan, who participates in the decision-making and management of Conero Energy Investment Co., Ltd.

"We can start one of the two medium-sized hydropower stations in Edgar and Providence...... said.

Dongsheng will continue to grow oil palm fields in Lunta, and they will be able to borrow from the Union Bank of Oman's special trust fund.

There is no need to worry about the funds required for subsequent hydropower construction, and so many interest-free funds are still being obtained unplanned

Jin, Yang Deshan thinks that the construction of a medium-sized hydropower station with a large power generation scale can be started first.

"A year ago, I said that the hydropower resources in the upper reaches of the Lujiaochuan River have great potential, and that was when I invested in the construction of the first small hydropower station, and the installed hydropower capacity of the entire upper reaches of the Lujiaochuan River is less than 2,000 kilowatts," Cao Mo said, "and within this year, our hydropower investment in the upper reaches of the Lujiaochuan River will be close to 100 million US dollars, and the total installed capacity will exceed 80,000 kilowatts. I think that even if Conero Energy Co., Ltd., its investment in the short term should be focused on the target projects of power energy, but the development of hydropower resources can be slowed down a little to leave some margin for the future......"

In the past year, Cao Mo has spent a lot of money to do a lot of water conservancy geological survey work, and has now determined that the hydropower development resources in the upper reaches of the Lujiaochuan River with better conditions have a total installed capacity of about 200,000 to 250,000 kilowatts, and it will take less than two years to develop more than one-third of them, which is already very fast.

At present, the small and medium-sized hydropower stations that have been developed or included in the second batch of construction have relatively little conflict with mineral exploitation and farmland irrigation, and can be launched quickly, but the subsequent hydropower development has relatively many more complex factors to be considered.

The water conservancy departments of Oyo Prefecture and the Lonta region have not considered these problems, but in addition to the Ibogu gold mine, Cao Mo wants to increase investment in mineral development in Lonta in the future, and also wants to continue to promote the cultivation of staple grains outside the Ibogu and Kolo tribes.

Another factor is that the two medium-sized hydropower stations in the upper reaches of the Edgar and Providence rivers have a much longer construction period than small hydropower stations, in addition to higher investment.

The construction period of the Yeyang Gorge medium-sized hydropower station signed with the China Earth Group is 20 months, and even if it can be rushed forward, it will be extremely fast to be able to supply power in 15 months.

After New Year's Day, Cao Mo started the construction of the first batch of 12 small hydropower stations and other projects, mainly thinking about the first batch of 20 million US dollars to invest, and after half a year, he can see a positive cash return.

"The funds cannot be idle in the account," Yang Deshan asked suspiciously, "Do you plan to put some of your energy into other power and energy projects? In addition to hydropower investment, what other power and energy projects can we invest in?"

"Of course there is," Cao Mo said, "I've always wanted to buy the natural gas power plant owned by Sika Aidet Power Company, but I didn't expect to have such an extra amount of money before, to be honest, I have to thank Lu Xiaoji for pointing at my nose and scolding my mother......"

Throwing down Wang Wen and Feng Rui, they continued to play with guns at the shooting range, and he drove Yang Deshan and Song Yuqing back to the lakeside building and showed Yang Deshan the information of the Sika Aidet Natural Gas Power Plant.

The construction of new projects and the training and growth of the operation team take time, and although the acquisition will also have a series of drawbacks, it is a shortcut to rapid expansion.

After the Felician family and Abacha took control of the Sika Aidet power company, although the power of the natural gas power plant was also purchased by the power grid company, and the remaining power capacity was fully utilized after New Year's Day, the scale was still too small, the equipment was aging, and Abacha had been reorganizing for several months, and the established profit expectations were still not visible.

Abacha has too many affairs, and he doesn't have the energy to meddle in the daily operation and management of natural gas power plants, so he can't wait for Cao Mo to take over this part.

In Cao Mo's view, the more critical problem with natural gas power plants lies in other aspects.

Built in the early 60s, the Sika Aidet gas power plant was expanded in the mid-90s during the 5th military junta of Kanem, and was originally designed to be a medium-sized thermal power plant with an installed capacity of 25,000 kilowatts and an annual power generation capacity of about 200 million kWh.

At that time, the power plant, including cooling towers and boiler rooms, as well as supporting gas wells and gas pipelines, had been completed, but before the supporting power generation equipment could be shipped into the country, the fifth military government collapsed.

The Oyo State to the Lunta area was also chaotic at the beginning, and the engineering contractor at the time withheld the equipment purchase money paid by the power plant to offset the construction money and ran away.

After three years of lawsuits, this bad debt was not won in the end, and in the end the power generation equipment of the old plant could only be renovated and continued to be used on the basis of new infrastructure.

Think about it, how awesome it takes for an operation team to bring down the cost of power generation?

The power plant was able to maintain a small profit before, and to put it bluntly, it was still harvested from the heads of ordinary citizens.

It was Cao Mo who instigated Abacha and the Felician family to intervene in the Sika Aidet Power Company, and he naturally knew about the situation of the natural gas power plant.

Although the British contractor took away the money for the purchase of equipment, the infrastructure they were responsible for was of good quality and could continue to be used.

Even after the acquisition, it is necessary to invest 30 million US dollars to completely replace a large number of power generation equipment and carry out a comprehensive repair of the original infrastructure, so that it is possible to achieve the original design power generation capacity.

That's actually not much savings compared to building a new natural gas power plant of the same size in the country.

However, it takes much less time to buy a power plant, repair the infrastructure, and replace it with new power generation equipment than to build a new natural power plant.

If Conero Energy wants to maximize the efficiency of its capital, time is always the most precious.

Regardless of the time required for preparation and application for administrative permits, it may take one to one and a half years for a medium-sized hydropower station to build a new one, and even longer for a new medium-sized natural gas power plant, while it may take only six months to restore the designed capacity to the Sika Aidet natural gas power plant.

In addition, in addition to the existing infrastructure, the Sika Aidet gas power plant also has a small supporting shallow gas field in the north of Lunta, near the plant.

This shallow gas field is not rich in storage resources, but it is enough to supply gas to a medium-sized thermal power plant with an annual power generation scale of 200 million kWh.

More critically, the Oyo state has discovered large-scale deep gas fields in places such as Kasiga.

Cao Mo thought in his heart that if he acquired the Sika Aidet natural gas power plant and pocketed this gas mine at the same time, if he invested money to conduct a deep gas source survey in the gas mining area and could find something, then the follow-up investment value of this piece would be even higher.

"I'll be in charge of the acquisition, but the current infrastructure evaluation and upgrading of the power plant - Draculamo's new natural gas power plant is the general contractor of China and Turkey, the East China Electric Power Design Institute is responsible for the introduction of technology and equipment, and the experts of Huadian are still on the construction site for equipment commissioning during the Chinese New Year, and they have not returned to China. ”

In the past, it would be very complicated for a Chinese-funded company to acquire the Sika Aidet power plant, and it would be very complicated to settle the local relationship, establish a relationship of trust with the original investors of the power plant, and negotiate the details of asset evaluation, operation team restructuring, and employee takeover.

Now it's simple, the Felician family and Abacha have taken control of the shares, and the other shareholders have also reaped a lot of benefits from the construction of the new power grid and Dongsheng's large-scale oil palm land acquisition, and the acquisition has become a matter of course, and their relationship with the Ronta area has been completely straightened out.

It's rare to see ready-made fat like this in Longta and even Oyo - Cao Mo is not afraid that Taihua or other forces will be able to grab this piece of fat from him, but he wants to grab this piece of fat first and swallow it in his stomach before the Blake, Oppenheimer, and Rupert families react......
