Chapter 238: Pick-up
Taihua will not disclose the specific cooperation plans with crude oil traders, but the refinery they built on the south bank of Conero Lake needs to be attached to the application for approval of the project to Kanem National Oil Company if they want to obtain the administrative concession authorization of Kanem.
Cao Mo had studied Taihua and other investment companies controlled by the Lu family, and submitted all the information that could be queried to the Kanem authorities - of course, his memory was very strong, but it was not strong enough to memorize it, and he immediately secretly instructed Du Ganjie to find out the materials of this crude oil trader and show them to him.
Of course, even if Cao Mo doesn't remember the specific situation of this crude oil trade, he can roughly guess how wild the scam Zhou Han and the others have laid out for the Lu family at this time.
At present, the spot price of crude oil in West Africa fluctuates between $60 and $70 per barrel, and the spot value of a ton of crude oil is about $500, and the refinery built by the Lu family on the south bank of Lake Conero has a very limited production capacity, with an annual processing capacity of about 300,000 tons of crude oil, but the value of crude oil that can be digested will be as high as $200 million per year.
If Lu Jianchao and they don't have enough vigilance to entrust the relevant procedures to this crude oil trader, or even more greedy, they still want to get more crude oil supply quota from Akwa under the current increasingly hot crude oil trade market, then their heel will definitely be much more ruthless than Lu Yan was deceived of 50 million yuan before.
Of course, Lu Jianchao and Huang Hebin are also extremely vigilant people, such a high amount of capital exchanges, it is impossible to be careless and pretend to others, Zhou Han and the people behind her must also need more actions to weaken the vigilance of Lu Jianchao and others.
Cao Mo took out his mobile phone and flipped through the warning text message sent to his mobile phone yesterday, and he could roughly understand what was going on.
Lu Jianchao wants to decouple from the Gneiro family, but he doesn't want to arouse the vigilance of the Gnesdam family, and he can't be in a hurry, and it is likely that the crude oil trader controlled by Zhou Han and others behind the scenes will be introduced into the construction of Lake Conero Port, and the Jidam family will be excluded from the construction of Lake Conero Port.
The advantage of this is that the refining sector invested and built by Taihua and the Lu family on the south bank of Conero Lake will be decoupled from the Jidam family in terms of financial and investment equity relations.
And Zhou Han is secretly promoting this matter, to put it bluntly, crude oil traders take out some real money to form a closer cooperative relationship with the Lu family, so as to weaken the Lu family's vigilance!?
It's really a ring of a ring, if Cao Mo hadn't already discovered that Zhou Han was a participant in the fraud of Lu Yan, there was really no way to see through their scam.
"What are you thinking? A grilled sausage was poked by you, you can't eat such bad food if you don't eat it!"
Cao Mo looked up and saw Zhou Han holding a dinner plate, seemingly passing by him with a word.
Zhou Han doesn't seem to regard today as a working day, wearing a light green floral dress, straight and slender calves, snow-white skin flashing with a healthy and attractive luster, the skirt seems to be slightly spread out by petals, making the waist more slender, towering breasts, a very charming face with a girlish feeling, a beautiful nose and sandalwood lips, and under the natural long and dense eyelashes, the beautiful eyes are clear and contain spring love.
Even if you know in your heart that she is a dangerous woman, you can't help but be confused by her appearance.
Cao Mo also seemed to be startled by her sudden accosting, and was stunned for a while, before she seemed to suddenly come back to her senses, moved a position to the side, moved the plate on the table to the side, and asked stupidly, "You want to sit here?"
Zhou Han couldn't tell whether Cao Mo was really distracted and suddenly startled by her talking, but noticed that Lu Yan, Guo Jian, and even Shen Ji, Yang Deshan and others were looking at her hesitantly, and it was impossible for her to really sit down and talk to Cao Mo, so she glanced at Cao Mo with resentful eyes, and said, "It seems that you are thinking about someone who is too obsessed, so I won't bother you with no fun." ”
"What do you want to say to me?" Cao Mo asked suspiciously.
Zhou Han ignored Cao Mo and returned to her previous seat with a plate.
In order to divert Lu Yan's thoughts, she looked at Xie Sipeng, who was sitting between Lu Jianchao and Huang Hebin, who was talking about iron ore trade, and asked curiously: "This time, you also rushed back to Draculamo, won't you come specifically to our President Lu?
Shen Ji, Cao Mo, and Yang Deshan sat behind them, Xie Sipeng asked Zhou Han to directly pierce his careful thoughts, somewhat embarrassed, and laughed: "It's rare for me to see Mr. Lu, people are a little excited, and it is inevitable that there will be more words - if Mr. Lu is not busy leaving Draculamo, I will find another time to get together with Mr. Lu?"
"Well said. Lu Jianchao smiled quietly.
"Taihua has encountered some problems on the Conero Lake Port project, and you rashly ran over to promote your iron ore business, doesn't it make people think that you have bad intentions?" Cao Mo returned to normal at this time, saw Xie Sipeng sitting back, pointed at him and smiled, "If you really want to take me and Lao Shen to Akva, don't be in a hurry to seduce others, otherwise someone will think that we are as ill-intentioned as you, and we will really jump into the Yellow River and not be able to wash it......"
"Ah, what's wrong with the Conero Lake Port project?" Xie Sipeng hurried back to Draculamo last night, after he met with Cao Mo and Shen Ji, no one at the table raised the matter of Conero Lake Port, he looked back at it in confusion at this time, and asked Cao Modao.
Seeing Lu Jianchao and Huang Hebin looking over here, Cao Mohun asked indifferently: "I heard that Draculamo Port Group is going to withdraw from the Conai Lake Port project, Mr. Lu, is this news true?"
"There is such a thing," Lu Jianchao nodded with a gloomy face, and said lightly, "Your news is very well-informed, but it's not a big problem, we Taihua just want to increase investment in Kanem, and there are also many partners in Xinhai who want to come in, and Degang is going to withdraw, just to make room for it......"
Cao Mo smiled, with a mysterious expression of "everything you said is right" on his face, and without answering another word, Lu Jianchao had the urge to smoke people when he saw it.

Shen Ji came to Kanem this time to attend the completion ceremony of Dongsheng's two new factories in the Conero Lake Industrial Park and the palm oil storage and logistics base, and to inspect the integration of oil palm plantations in Longta.
The Lonta-Draculamo road and the Ibogu-Cornello road have been renovated to form a T-shaped traffic in the western part of Lonta
The oil palm plantations acquired by Dongsheng are mainly located along these two highways, which are much more convenient than a year ago, and Sika Aidet Power Grid and Longxi Power Grid have achieved full power coverage along the route.
Taking advantage of the relationship between Sika and other families, the middle and lower management personnel have been completely localized, the cost of transportation, irrigation and labor has been reduced in an all-round way, and the palm silk mill, palm timber processing plant and pulp mill have been introduced into the Lake Conero Industrial Park, so that the resources produced by the plantation can be more fully utilized.
Such a big move has made the profit margin per mu of oil palm land in Longta increase by about seven or eight US dollars, which seems to be somewhat insufficient, but Dongsheng has invested 100 million US dollars in the past year or so to purchase more than 120,000 acres of oil palm plantations in Longta, which alone can actually expand the profit margin by nearly 10 million US dollars every year in the future.
As a result, Dongsheng's investment in the plantation has doubled its profit expectancy.
In the past, Dongsheng was able to buy oil palm plantations in Longta with relatively cheap bargaining chips, mainly due to the constraints of transportation and irrigation conditions, and the profits of oil palm plantations in Longta were significantly lower than those in the more convenient areas around Draculamo.
The infrastructure conditions have been greatly improved, the oil palm plantations in Longta have also risen, and the transaction prices of oil palm fields in the fruit-bearing period are directly on par with the suburbs of Draculamo, coupled with the sharp rise in international palm oil prices, which also has a strong driving effect on the upstream plantations, and the investment income of the West Africa branch in this area is even far more than the profit of the main business.
Although the investment income in oil palm plantations will not be directly reflected in the income statement of the listed company for the current year before the final closing, it can be regarded as a dazzling performance within the Dongsheng Group.
The investment layout of Dongsheng in Kanem is only now a real upstream of the palm oil industry, and the West Africa branch will be able to eat the profits within the entire industrial chain next year.
This is not something that Cao Mo can envy.
As a rising capital force in China, Dongsheng's resources are definitely not comparable to his personal strength, and in the current commodity market, it is bound to reap high profits.
At present, Cao Mo's development of Conero Foods is actually an imitation of Dongsheng's investment in the palm oil industry, but in addition to a part of the funds that he intends to keep under the name of accounts payable, he has actually invested in the capital of Conero Foods, including the acquisition of cocoa plantations in the past three or four months, which is only 30 million US dollars, which is still much smaller than Dongsheng's palm oil business, and more importantly, the downstream market has not been completely opened, so naturally he cannot expect to obtain the same profit scale as Dongsheng in related fields.
Of course, Dongsheng's palm oil business is jointly promoted by Cao Mo and Yang Deshan, which also involves the financing of Conero Energy, and Ding Zhaoqiang directly quarreled very unpleasantly, the palm oil business can have such a good development, Cao Mo and Yang Deshan can also be regarded as having an explanation to Dongsheng, sitting in the off-road vehicle parked on the side of the gravel road, and Shen Ji said with a smile:
"Probably no one has a problem with Conero Energy right now, right?"
"I finally barely fooled it, and I didn't fall into the ...... of public criticism," Shen Ji said with a smile.
