Chapter 201: Mo's Company

Brahm rushed to Ibogu at dusk.

Nsanger spoke with his father Oppenheimer on the phone, Cao Mo didn't expect Oppenheimer himself to clarify his attitude at this time, but at this time it would be good to confirm that Nsanger's own attitude had wavered.

Cao Mo didn't hide anything about Brahm, so he directly revealed the question and asked him about his position.

When Brahm arrived, he didn't see Nsanger's usual flamboyant aura, and he was secretly confused.

As for the VAM agreement, Ensanger talked to him several times, and Ensanger's father Oppenheimer also talked to his father once - if some terms of the VAM agreement could be amended, Brahm would of course be happy to see it, but he still advised his father to be impatient and not to rush to agree to Oppenheimer's joint pressure.

Nsanger tried to pull him to Abacha today, but he made an excuse to push him off.

However, when he received a call from Ensanger, his tone was quite indignant, how could he shrink there after meeting Abacha and Cao Mo?

Seeing that Ensanger's attitude had changed, Brahm also pondered for a while, and said directly: "My father also felt that the VAM agreement was not very fair to us at the beginning, and hoped that I would put forward some opinions, but I think that Dongsheng can invest so much in the upstream construction of power stations and power plants, and he trusts us to truthfully implement the agreement, and I advise my father to abide by the Cigna ......."

Even if Brahm's words were somewhat unpredictable, he was able to say them, on the one hand, to show that he was willing or able to accept such a fact, and on the other hand, to show that he had gained a say in the matter within the Rupert family.

Cao Mo handed the cigar to Brahm and said:

"Sika Aidet Power Grid Company withholds profits for the construction of power grids and roads along the line, if you want to talk about losses, don't the Felician family and Abacha have losses? And if we want to talk about direct benefits, will we Dongsheng put the profits we have intercepted into our own pockets? We don't need to say anything, when we first talked about such an agreement, we, Dongsheng, including us individual investors, mainly wanted to invest in Lonta in the long run, and build Lonta into a base for operating the West African market......

"I must say that there is something unfair, my father still thinks that our long-term interests in Lonta are not significant," Brahm's attitude towards the VAM agreement is best if it can be modified or reversed, abide by Cigna and maintain the status quo, he can also accept it, take the cigar, and he can not shy away from saying, "Take the Lonta-Draculamo road, it is Cornello Energy and Dongsheng oil palm plantation and Lake Conero Industrial Park that benefit the most- Of course, this is exactly what you said, Mr. Cao, you are indeed focused on the long-term benefits of Lonta. ”

"Conero Lake Industrial Park, Longta Natural Gas Company and Conero Power Grid Company, a project that I, Abacha and Yang can always decide, can all be opened and accept your investment,"

Cao Mo said,

"If the manufacturing companies owned by the Oppenheimer and Rupert families move to the Conero Lake Industrial Park, we will also give the same preferential electricity price as key enterprises such as Dongsheng's direct investment factory, which is only 10 cents per kilowatt-hour. From this point of view, you can also see that all of our investments in Lonta are aimed at long-term returns, and if the political situation in Kanem is unstable, we must also be able to accept the losses we may have and the investment will not be recovered

Possibly. Most of the roads that you drive into the Ibogu tribe and the irrigation stations, farms, and renovated houses and schools along the way are mostly done by us, and the follow-up fees are very low, just enough to offset the operating costs, and we have never thought of recovering the costs, let alone making money from these projects. The reason why we are willing to take money to do these things is that on the one hand, we think that the payment at this time is beneficial to our long-term interests, and on the other hand, we also think that the effort at this time is conducive to our long-term interests—Mr. Nsangel, probably we don't think that we are fools or cheated by others, right?"

Ensanger could be said to be overwhelmed in his heart at this time, and he was so ashamed that he didn't dare to look directly into Cao Mo's eyes.

Brahm also agreed with Cao Mo's investment philosophy, saying that he would carefully study relevant projects and then discuss them with his father.

There is no hurry to inject capital into other aspects, Cao Mo brought Brahm to him at this time, in addition to confirming his attitude towards the gambling agreement, he also talked about motorcycle leasing.

During this time, Cao Mo accompanied Xu Bin and Zhou Jianjun to push the ground, and Abacha and Rod Sanchez Jr. have been in contact several times during this time.

The Sánchez family mainly runs a motorcycle repair shop, but also invests in stalls and a labor transport company in the 6th arrondissement market in the West Bank, and on the basis of these, it gathers about 3,000 to 4,000 young and middle-aged people from the Sánchez tribe and nearby tribes in the south of Lonta.

There are about 1,800 people engaged in the rental of two-wheeled bicycles (motorcycles and bicycles), of which less than two or three hundred are motorcycle riders, which is quite small.

Considering the actual situation of the Sanchez family's power, and at the same time, Cao Mo wanted to cut deeper into the Sanchez family's gang power, so he thought of directly uniting with the Sanchez family to set up a new leasing company, instead of lending them a thousand Huachen motorcycles as a loan.

For the sake of balance, Cao Mo needs to involve more investors who can contain the Sanchez family.

In addition to the Sika family, Oppenheimer and Rupert are all local snakes in Draculamo, and bringing them in as investors is not only conducive to the business development of the new leasing company, but also can balance the internal relationship of the new leasing company.

1,000 Huachen motorcycles, at the preliminary market price conversion, amounted to 480,000 US dollars, but in order to reflect the sincerity of cooperation, this batch of motorcycles will be imported into Kanem in the form of parts imported, as long as the new leasing company actively cooperates in marketing and other aspects, the price can be greatly discounted to 300,000 US dollars.

Generally speaking, the new leasing company only needs to inject $500,000 in the initial stage to operate, which is really a small investment project.

At present, Cao Mo is focusing on Brahm's personal participation in the investment; Nsanger wants to participate, Cao Mo will certainly not refuse, this weak wavering element, can be won or fought for as much as possible.

"We partnered with the Sanchez family to set up a leasing company, and we also considered several ways to operate it, and finally decided to set up a more common rental company model. At present, Draculamo already has several related motorcycle rental companies, which roughly calculate the depreciation of the vehicle, insurance, management and other expenses, and contract to its riders to carry passengers at a price of three dollars a day - this price is still quite high, limiting the development of these companies, we have cut the daily rental fee to two dollars a day, and there is still quite good

"Of course, in terms of upfront investment, this may be a very small project, and no matter how high the profit margin is, the annual dividends of investors are quite limited." However, the most attractive thing about this project is that we expect Dracula to be able to accommodate 40,000 or 50,000 motorcycles operated by regular rental companies. At present, Draculamo's more formal operation of motorcycles, the total is less than 2,000, and there is a lot of potential that can be tapped. Of course, it is impossible to say which step we can achieve in the end, or we may be squeezed out of the market by various unexpected factors in the early stage, and lose all our money......"

"Tomorrow I will invite Rod Sánchez Jr. to Ibogu, and if you want to participate in the investment, you need to make a decision as soon as possible. Abacha said.

"Okay, I'll think about it, and I'll definitely give you an answer tomorrow. Brahm said very simply.

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

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

The next day, it was still a small building by the lake, and Abacha brought Rhodes Sánchez, the leader of the Sanchez family's forces, to meet Cao Mo.

The Sánchez family was originally a small tribal chieftain family under the Sika family, and they had little success in running the plantation, and the main members moved to Draculamo early to work hard.

Rod Sánchez Jr., or Mr. Sánchez Jr., is the third son of the Sánchez family, and his two elder brothers led the Sánchez family in their early years to compete with others for the dance hall and bar business in the 6th arrondissement of the West Bank.

Rhodes was in his early thirties, with a strong build, a scar on the wing of his nose and left cheek, and a fierce look, but rather a humble attitude.

Entering the small lakeside building, he not only left the armed bodyguard outside the fence, but he also took the initiative to hand over a Colt semi-automatic pistol to the bodyguard outside to hold, and then walked into the lakeside wooden building with Abacha with several assistants.

Sitting down to talk, Cao Mo could see that Rhodes was still quite a traditional person, and Abacha and the Sika family still had a certain status in the minds of Rhodes and several assistants around him.

Cao Mo can also confirm that the Sanchez family is very suppressed by local forces in Draculamo, and Rhodes himself is desperate for outside support.

At this time, Cao Mo's focus was on whether Rhodes himself or his subordinates had the ability to manage the operation and management of the new leasing company, or whether he could accept a professional manager to manage the new leasing company.

Of course, Cao Mo didn't expect to be able to do it in one step.

In the early years, there was a serious conflict with the local gang forces, but after Rhodes took charge of the Sanchez family, the forces were not expelled and did not fall apart, which shows that he is still a capable and forbearant person.

If Rod Sánchez Jr. is not able to run a regular business in the future, as long as he is not too stubborn in his thinking, there is no room for adjustment.

Rod Sánchez Jr. said the family wanted to take control of the new leasing company, and Cao Mo respected it.

It's not that Cao Mo doesn't look down on the interests of the new leasing company, but sometimes he can't be too greedy.

In addition to being connected with the Sanchez family in the early stage, he did not have much energy to participate in the operation of the new leasing company, and the manpower he can use now is also very tight......
