As he was talking, there was another horn sound of a car approaching in the yard, Cao Mo looked at the small square outside the door, but saw Song Yuqing walking down from a seven-seater business car.
He was wonderful.
After talking on the phone the day before yesterday, Song Yuqing knew that he had secretly handled the gun license and bought a gun a long time ago, and his tone suddenly faded, why didn't he say a word, and ran to the tribe again?
Then I saw Lucy get out of the car with Zhou Jianmin and a middle-aged man with gray sideburns.
Cao Mo had met Zhou Jianmin a few times before, and he knew him; the middle-aged man who looked nearly fifty years old was a Chinese face, but he had never seen it.
In any case, Zhou Jianmin is a staff member of the consulate, and many things will trouble him in the future, Cao Mo does not dare to slack off, but when he gets up and goes out to greet him, he does not forget to introduce Zhou Jianmin's identity to the old chief, Lily's father Felician Jr., and Abacha.
The old chief and Lily's father, Ojosan Felici Jr., may have been quite calm, they were not government officials after all, but Cao Mo keenly caught Abba looking at him and his eyes were much calmer.
Obviously, Song Yuqing was able to bring Zhou Jianmin here at this time, which directly increased the weight of the Yibogu gold mine and his eyes in Abacha.
Zhou Jianmin is the third secretary in the consulate, not a very important figure, but he is a state official of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs stationed in Kanem.
Abacha is the real head snake in the Lunta region, but the Lunta region is comparable to the counties and districts in China, and the economic development is much more backward, no matter how arrogant Abacha is, it is impossible for him to put on any posture in front of the official diplomatic staff of a large country whose national strength is dozens of times greater than that of Kanem.
This really directly increased the weight of Cao Mo, the co-developer of the Ibogu gold mine, in his mind.
Standing on the small square, Zhou Jianmin introduced the identity of the middle-aged man accompanying him as Zeng Xianzhi, a professor at Fujian Agricultural University, who is a Chinese expert on Kassi's non-agricultural aid project.
Song Yuqing knew that Cao Mo might not dare to leave the mine in the past two days, and it was not easy to contact Zeng Xianzhi, who wanted to contact the Kasi Aid Africa Farm, and learned that the staff of the consulate would regularly go to various African aid project sites in Ogun and nearby states and cities to track the progress of the project, so she specially proposed to Zhou Jianmin to accompany Lucy to visit the aid African farm.
Song Yuqing's intention, of course, was to help Cao Mo contact the Yibo Ancient Village Agricultural Cooperation Project, but when she set off, there was no score, and she did not talk to Cao Mo on the phone in advance.
After arriving at the Kasiga Aid Farm, everyone naturally talked about the situation in the village of Ibogu.
Zeng Xianzhi, as an agricultural expert in aiding Africa, is currently stationed in the farms aiding Africa, mainly to guide and train local farmers, and he is not particularly busy. Zhou Jianmin and the others went to Kasi Jiayuan Africa Farm at noon, were warmly welcomed, had lunch, and had no special things to do in the afternoon, so they simply drove directly to Yibogu Village.
Helped Zhou Jianmin and Abacha introduce each other, Cao Mo invited everyone into the house to talk, when he entered the house, he glanced back at Song Yuqing who was following behind, lowered his voice and said, "Thank you." ”
"......" Song Yuqing's bright and beautiful eyes blinked, and a smug smile appeared on the corner of her mouth to help get things done.

Since they were all here, it was impossible not to visit the mine, so Cao Mo instructed Ed, who had almost become his full-time assistant recently, to help the cook of the old chief's family prepare a sumptuous dinner together, and then drive everyone to the mine.
The mine is still very simple, but compared to Song Yuqing's last return, another two months have passed.
In the past two months, Cao Mo not only invested the $200,000 he borrowed from Xie Sipeng, but also used more than $100,000 in profits to purchase equipment and speed up the construction of equipment storage rooms.
At present, there are two excavators, a rock drill, a second-hand dump truck, a medium-sized sand making machine, and the diesel generator set has also increased to three, and even a conveyor belt has been built in the placer operation area for rapid feeding.
It seems that there is not enough equipment, mainly because Cao Mo put down the idea of taking a handful and leaving, and invested a considerable part of the funds and almost more than half of the workers into the infrastructure of the mining area.
At present, in addition to the diesel generator room, equipment and material warehouse, crushed stone operation area, staff meals, training and other stone houses have been basically completed, the mining area has also been specially added to the wood processing area - the reinforced concrete is too expensive, the quality of the bricks is not up to standard, the log resources of Yibo Ancient Village are sufficient, and the fire prevention requirements are not so strict buildings, such as canteens, training areas, staff dormitories, and wooden houses are built, which are low cost, fast and quite comfortable to live in.
For the time being, there is no energy to build a fence in the operation area, but an excavator is used to cut a drainage ditch to isolate it from the surrounding forest.
In any case, nearly 500,000 US dollars of funds were invested, and the Yibogu gold mine more or less looked like a small mining enterprise, and after further optimization and adjustment, the operation area was no longer as messy as Song Yuqing was when he came to visit.
The sand and gravel road from the tribe to the mining area has been widened and repaired, and it is no worse than the township road from the town of Lonta to the village of Ibogu.
Don't look at the investment of 4 million yuan before and after the Yibogu gold mine, it is nothing in the country, but there are few slightly decent industrial and mining enterprises in the Longta area, and the Yibogu gold mine is a key enterprise.
However, companies such as the Ibogu gold mine do not contribute much to the local finances, and the local officials in Lunta can only hope for private entanglements of interests.
Abacha must have come over with a certain purpose today, but after Zhou Jianmin and them arrived, Cao Mo still directly felt that Abacha's mood and attitude had changed subtly, seeing that he occasionally whispered to Lily's father, Felician Ojosan, Jr., guessing that some of his requests might not be directly raised, but would be conveyed euphemistically through Lily's father.
"I thought that tricking Zhou Jianmin would help you a lot, but I didn't expect you to have already made friends with the magnates in the Shanglongta region and solved the problem yourself......"
After visiting the mining area, everyone went to a wooden house that served as a reading room for employees to rest, Cao Mo took a box of treasured tea to the kitchen and handed it to the cook, Song Yuqing followed and said with emotion.
"Whether Zhou Jianmin comes or not, it's still different. Cao Mo told Song Yuqing about his observations.
"At your young age, how can you see so many Dao, I don't think people have any intentions at all? Besides, when people come forward, it's also for the face of the Felician family......" Song Yuqing asked suspiciously.
"......" Cao Mo couldn't bear to continue to deceive Song Yuqing, but he still decided to continue to hide the fact that he had signed an indefinite cooperation contract and that he actually owned 80% of the interests in the Ibogu gold mine forever.

Anyway, Kasiga's aid project to Africa is a semi-open public welfare project, and the higher the positive benefits that can be produced by the Chinese side, the better.
As for what step Yibo Ancient Village will do in the future, how large-scale vegetable farms to do and how to plant staple crops in the future, Cao Mo has no idea in his heart, and he can't talk about it for a while.
After the bonfire dinner, Zhou Jianmin took the driver to send Zeng Xianzhi back to Cassijia Aid Africa Farm, they are very familiar with Zeng Xianzhi, and they will also spend the night there, and then rush to the next aid project site, Abacha also left with the driver and bodyguards.
Lily and her father naturally live in the tribe, while Song Yuqing wants to take a break from the difficult life in the mining area, so she lives in the mine with Lucy.
It was the end of the rainy season in Kanem, it was no longer so humid, it was on the edge of the forest, and the nights were not particularly hot.
The diesel generator sets are all moved into a special stone house, the noise is not so bright, and at night there is only a small generator for lighting and charging many working battery packs, and the night seems to be much quieter, and you can faintly hear the roar of insects and beasts in the depths of the forest.
"There won't be any lions and tigers running out of the woods, right?" Song Yuqing sat under the lamp and asked Cao Mo worriedly.
"In addition to the snakes and mosquitoes in the forest, the monkeys I have seen the most are monkeys, and I have never seen lions and tigers, so I don't know if there are any. Cao Mo said.
"Don't mention snakes, it's even more scary!" Song Yuqing covered her chest, as if something would come in through the crack in the corner of the door in the next moment.
"Look at your cabin, how about it be built like this?"
Song Yuqing came back and said that she wanted to build a holiday cabin here.
Now a bunch of things have to be dealt with one by one, Cao Mo didn't think about transferring people to build a holiday cabin for Song Yuqing alone, but fortunately, Cao Mo lives in the mine, there is no entertainment at night, and the vocational training of employees also hires teachers from Longta Market, and he is idle, so he drew a sketch for Song Yuqing's vacation cabin.
Cao Mo was also secretly glad at this time, otherwise there would be nothing to please Song Yuqing now.
"That's good! You're good at everything......
It is said that it is modeled after the sketch of the stilted wooden building in Xiangxi, but the structure and size data have been marked, and the construction team can almost be carried out according to the drawings when handed over to the infrastructure team - not to mention the others, at least this sketch Cao Mo has put his mind into it, Song Yuqing shouted happily like a naïve little girl.
"If you want to do one thing, you can barely do anything," Cao Mo said, "Sister Yuqing, you just arrived in Kanem, and you probably didn't think you could stick to it, right?"
Song Yuqing nodded, except for the bitterness that she was ashamed to say, there was really nothing uncomfortable with it, but then she suspected that Cao Mo meant something else when she said this, so she glanced at him and didn't say anything to him......
