The bodies of the deceased employees were transported to the port of Pemei for cremation, and the Mutual Aid Association also contacted the embassy and the Akwa authorities, and also simplified the visa procedures as much as possible, and brought some of the families of the deceased employees to Akwa for the funeral, and then brought the ashes back to China.

For some of the deceased employees, their families were unable to rush over, and the mutual aid association also contacted the local government to transfer the ashes back to China, and the condolence money was transferred to their immediate heirs through the local government.

Mutual aid associations have subsidized air tickets to return to China, most of the mine owners who have suffered heavy losses, most of whom have no intention of continuing to develop in Akwa, and some of the frightened Chinese employees who insist on returning to China to work.

Xu Sheng finally chose to return to China.

In the past few years, he has saved a lot of money in Africa, and the domestic housing prices are soaring, so he has sold several houses in his hand, and he can still have a pension money left after paying off his debts.

Xu Ling has followed to Africa to work hard in the past few years, and he has not saved much money, but he has converted a lot of shares in his uncle Xu Sheng's sand farm and company - this time Xu Sheng definitely does not need him to share the debt, but his accumulation in the past few years can be regarded as zero.

However, Xu Ling did not choose to return to China.

He was still young and did not think that he would be able to find a suitable job when he returned to China, but Zhou Zhiqing, the vice president of the Mutual Aid Association and who had invested more than $20 million in rock gold mining in Mangba, recruited Xu Ling as an assistant and offered him a very good salary.

The vast majority of investors in Africa still trust their countrymen.

Xu Ling's education is not high, but he has been in Africa for many years, fluent in English, familiar with dealing with various local figures, and also familiar with gold mining and other things, which is quite a sought-after talent.

Xu Ling now has no capital to fight alone, and following Zhou Zhiqing is a pretty good new start, but Xu Sheng doesn't want to work for others anymore.

Zhang Min neither returned to China, nor did she accept Xie Sipeng's arrangement to let her work on the palm e-commerce network.

After the mutual aid association took care of many things, there were more than 800,000 US dollars left, and it was not returned to the donors - Cao Mo donated the most, and under his instruction, the Akwa Chinese Business Development Mutual Fund was established.

Zhang Min took out all his savings, and also borrowed 100,000 US dollars from the Development Mutual Fund to replenish the equipment, rebuild the operation area, and have the intention to continue to stay in Mangba to mine placer gold.

The international gold price fluctuates between $900 and $1,000 per ounce, and placer gold mining is still a lucrative and even lucrative business.

Xie Sipeng left her placer gold mine, which seems to be small in scope, but the placer gold content is very high, she is reluctant to directly sell the placer gold mine, and wants to fight again.

The establishment of a mutual aid association, in addition to uniting Chinese businessmen to help each other and save themselves, Cao Mo also hopes to reverse, of course, the previous situation of plundering and mining.

If nothing is changed, even if some things can be covered up this time and the ill-intentioned international media will not be exposed, as the damage to the local environment becomes more and more serious, and the impact will become more and more widespread, and one day it will accumulate conflicts with local people that are difficult to resolve.

Cao Mo hopes that Chinese businessmen can have a more stable and long-term development in the local area, and when the time comes, everyone can help each other, instead of tearing each other down, and they can't leave a mess but have to bear the burden of latecomers, and the constitution of the mutual aid association needs to have a certain degree of self-restraint.

Fortunately, investors such as Zhou Zhiqing and Xinhai Gold can realize this, and Xie Sipeng has no difficulty in communicating and coordinating in the middle.

The embassy also learned that international journalists had tried to intervene in the investigation of the disaster, and hoped that the mutual aid association would play a stronger role, not only to restrain Chinese businessmen who have invested in the mining industry in Akwa, but also to better promote relations with regional government agencies.

At this time, mutual aid providers are no longer limited to the Mamba area.

However, Cao Mo still insisted on initially accepting only Chinese businessmen and Chinese-funded enterprises engaged in mining and ore trading in Akwa, and did not consider expanding the scale of the mutual aid association on a larger scale for the time being, and accepted new members everywhere.

Cao Mo donated money, but Xie Sipeng was responsible for the specific matters, and it was not until early June that the matter came to an end temporarily-

The division of the Thai-Chinese Industrial Park and the area south of the tower is the basis for the city of Draculamo to start the construction of the Cornello Marina New City, and by the beginning of June, the framework of the agreement was basically finalized according to the line drawn by Cao Mo.

Even if they don't consider how many pairs of eyes from Draculamo, Ogun Prefecture, to the federal government are staring at this matter, just thinking of the anger burning in the hearts of officials in Longta and Oyo Prefecture, Lu Jianchao and Han Shaorong don't dare to delay.

On the day of the signing of the agreement at the new Taihua Resort, Cao Mo also rushed back to Lunta.

Clarke, chairman of the Lonta Municipal Council, Abacha, vice chairman, Da Sika, a senior member, and Brahm, who represents Conero Energy, all appeared in the hotel lobby on a hot day.

Abacha and Brahm did not, but Clark, Da Sika and others stared at Lu Jianchao, Han Shaorong, Lu Yan, Huang Hebin and others, who officially served as the chairman of the Conero Seaside New City Construction Committee, and their eyes were full of unkindness - Blake and other officials of the Oyo State government were invited, but they all refused to participate in today's signing ceremony.

In addition to Abacha, Brahm and others, almost everyone in the Lonta Municipal Council, from Clark and Sika to ordinary members, sees the new city of Huwan Industry as an opportunity for the rise of Lonta.

To be honest, officials in the Lunta region were not enthusiastic about local development in the early days.

In the past few years, the Clark, Sika, Idet and other families have continuously increased the value of holding a small number of shares in Sika Idet Power Grid Company, and on the other hand, they have made a profit by selling oil palm plantations to Dongsheng Group, and at the same time have made a profit by investing part of their funds in the special private equity fund of Oman United Bank, and have deeply felt the direct benefits of local development to them.

More importantly, they also hold a large area of oil palm and cocoa plantations, benefiting from the improvement of local infrastructure such as roads, communications, and electricity, and have the opportunity to directly participate in international trade and obtain great benefits.

As a result, they have been able to see that the shores of Lake Conero continue to grow by leaps and bounds, not only to the benefit of the Lonta region, but also to their family.

However, this matter was stirred up by Lu Jianchao and them, how could they not be angry in their hearts?

They even gave away so much high-quality land and port resources, and it was still too much of a loss to get a little economic compensation.

Cao Mo, as a guest, stood in the corner very indifferently, silently observing the reactions of others in the hall.

He didn't come back to Lunta today for the signing ceremony.

In the afternoon, the consulate will hold a tea party at the New Taihua Resort Hotel to convene Chinese businessmen in Dracula to raise funds for the extremely tragic earthquake in China.

Nearly a month after the earthquake, the rescue work has basically ended, with nearly 90,000 dead and missing people in the earthquake, and hundreds of billions of property losses.

Even though nearly a month has passed, in the face of such a catastrophe, many Chinese businessmen overseas are also in a heavy mood.

Cao Mo was not in the mood to compete with Lu Jianchao and Han Shaorong today, and watched calmly as representatives of several parties came to the stage to sign the agreement, and he applauded with everyone.

With the signing of the agreement, the Lonta local will receive a total of more than 70 million US dollars in compensation at one time, and the chairman of the municipal committee, Clark, immediately made it clear that he would use the funds to start the construction of the lake bay industrial processing zone on the east bank of Lake Conero.

Although there will be no more large-scale plans for the new industrial city, the move by the Lonta City Hall is also a sign of its determination to continue the development of the area on the east shore of Lake Conero, which is fully funded by the Lonta City Hall but will be entrusted to the management of the Lake Conero Industrial Park Limited.

Conero Energy will also receive a one-time deposit of US$50 million from the Conero Marina New City Construction Committee, and will be independently responsible for the construction of the power grid and transmission and distribution facilities within the Conero Marina New Town, and also monopolize the power supply of Conero Marina New Town.

Although the agreement restricts the price of Conero Energy's power supply, it also clarifies that no thermal power plants shall be built within the scope of Conero Marina New Town, and no electricity supply from other manufacturers shall be allowed.

Dracula Power was supposed to be the staunchest opponent of the agreement, but it became an endorser of the agreement because it has a stake of more than 20% in Conero Energy and is expected to receive four or five billion kilowatt-hours of electricity from Cornello Energy at a low price each year.

Lu Jianchao and Han Shaorong finally agreed to sign this agreement with Conero Energy, on the one hand, they saw that the equity balance of Conero Energy was more reasonable, and the Oppenheimer family held 7% of the shares of Conero Energy and supported this plan - Cao Mo made it bad, and he could only strive for more benefits for Conero Energy, but he could not willfully damage the interests of Conero Energy.

On the other hand, under the promotion of Cao Mo, Conero Energy has built a small hydropower station group in Longta, renovated Longta natural gas power plant, and built a transmission and distribution network along Lake Conero, which is much better than Dracula Power Supply Group in terms of technology, equipment, and management level.

This is also an important reason why Lu Jianchao was not convinced and decided to start Conero Coastal New Town.

In their opinion, Cao Mo is a young man who has not dried up, and he does not have many capable and capable cadres in China, and his subordinates are basically engineers and professional managers hired from the local area, and their level is not in their eyes.

However, this is how companies such as Ibogu Mining and Conero Cement have been able to develop to this point in West Africa.

Behind them, they have the support of Taihua and Huamao, which have developed in China for so many years, how can they be worse than Cao Mo?

Dracula Power Group, it is impossible to give Conero Binhai New City the opportunity to build its own power plant, between Dracula Power Group and Conero Energy, which party to choose as the power supplier, Lu Jianchao and Han Shaorong cannot be angry because Cao Mo still has a strong influence and hidden control over Conero Energy.

In addition to the acquisition of the Dregu power plant for renovation, Conero Energy will also borrow US$50 million from the Export-Import Bank of China to officially start the construction of the second natural gas power plant in Longta after receiving US$50 million from Conero Binhai New Town.

Conero Energy is not yet qualified to borrow directly from the Export-Import Bank of China, but as a project contractor and equipment exporter, China Soil Group can apply to the Export-Import Bank of China for a seller's credit of 50 million US dollars, and Conero Energy will postpone the payment of the corresponding construction and equipment import payment of 50 million US dollars to China Earth Group for three years, which will actually achieve the effect of indirect borrowing.

This is also the treatment that Conero Energy can only enjoy when it has developed to a corresponding scale, and at the same time has cooperated with China and Earth Group for many years and trusts each other - otherwise China Earth Group will not bear the risk for Konero Energy.

In order to encourage the export of equipment, the seller's credit approved by the Export-Import Bank of China has extremely low interest.

Similarly, Ibogu Mining has recently sought to deferred payments to encourage manufacturers of heavy mining and beneficiation equipment to apply for seller's credit from the Export-Import Bank.

In this way, Cao Mo can make more effective and full use of the funds at hand.

After this signing, Taihua Group, New Taihua Investment, and Huamao Capital of Volkov Investment and Han Shaorong will jointly inject $400 million into Conero Marina New Town.

This also means that they want to ensure that the second phase of the new Taihua refinery and the first phase of the port area on the south bank of Conero Lake will be completed as scheduled, and that the start-up area of Conero Coastal New City based on the first and second phases of the original Taihua Industrial Park and the living and business supporting areas will be successfully completed.

Of course, the second phase of the new Taihua refinery and the first phase of the port area on the south bank of Conero Lake have been fully completed, and the energy source continues to generate profits.

The Dracula City Government has also made it clear that it will strongly support the relocation of enterprises in the city to the Marina New Town, and will formulate a series of promotion measures for Taiwan.

At that time, Binhai New Town will not only continue to obtain income from land sales, but also rapidly enrich its popularity, and it will inevitably need to carry out a certain scale of supporting construction of commercial and living supporting areas in the early stage, and the rental and sales of buildings and residences will also improve quickly, and Binhai New Town will also have a tax share income within a certain number of years......

Kanem's economic development is lagging behind, but Draculamo concentrates more than half of the country's industrial and commercial finance, and the number of small and medium-sized enterprises combined is as high as 30,000 or 40,000.

Lu Jianchao didn't have too many extravagant expectations, just thinking that in the next five years, the scale of the newly created enterprises in Conero Coastal New City would reach two or three thousand, even if it was a preliminary success.

In this regard, Lu Jianchao is also confident.

Draculamo's mains power supply is so unstable that it's normal to cut off power seven or eight times a day, and the transmission grid struggles to provide the stable voltage and current needed for industrial production – for that reason alone, they can only choose to work with Conero Energy.

Stable industrial supporting capacity is the key to the attractiveness of Conero Binhai New Area.

Yan Zhicheng was "recruited" by Lu Yan to be in charge of the day-to-day operation of the casino department of the new Taihua Resort.

In the increasingly large system on the south bank, Yan Zhicheng's status is no longer very prominent, and he has no right to know what conditions the Lu family finally negotiated with Han Shaorong and Volkov Investment.

He knew that after a series of equity adjustments, Taihua Group, together with Xintaihua Group, held 50% of the shares of Lake Conero Port, Xintaihua Oil Refinery, Xintaihua Resort Hotel, and Binhai New Town, and Volkov Investment held 25% of the shares in a series of projects on the south coast in addition to the exclusive control of Western Union Oil.

The remaining 25% stake in Lake Conero Port is held by Draculamo Port Group.

The remaining 25% of the shares of Xintaihua Oil Refinery, Resort Hotel and Binhai New City are held by Han Shaorong's Huamao Capital.

According to the shareholding ratio of the Lu family, Han Shaorong and Volkov Investment in various projects on the south coast, the new Taihua Investment and the listed company Taihua Group, which is directly controlled by the Lu family, still need to inject 200 million US dollars to complete the initial construction of the Cornello Coastal New City.

This is by no means a small pressure on the Lu family, whose capital chain has always been very tight.

However, Yan Zhicheng's "admonition" has succeeded in inducing Lu Jianchao and Lu Jiancheng's brothers, and Cao Mo has no way to judge for the time being.

Today, Gallon Tangarian will also sign a cooperation agreement with Draculamo Port Group on behalf of the Gulf of Guinea Shipping and Mining Company for the leasing and use of ore stockpiles.

The entire Gulf of Guinea only has a 150,000-ton bulk and container terminal in Draculamo, which can not only dock the corresponding ore ships, but also be equipped with corresponding large-scale loading and unloading machinery and equipment, which can quickly load and unload ore, grain and other bulk cargo.

In the Usan River mining area, the scale of copper concentrate mined and transported to the port of Pemei this year to be taken over by the Gulf of Guinea Shipping and Mining Company is expected to be no more than 120,000 tons, and it is enough to send a medium-sized ore ship from the port of Pemei back to the new port every quarter.

However, by the end of the year, the second phase of the Usan River Mine 1 project will be completed, and the production of copper concentrate from Drake will surge to 800,000 tonnes.

At that time, the copper concentrate will need to be transferred to the port of Draculamo, and a large ore ship will be sent back to China for smelting every quarter.

In this way, not only can the transportation of copper concentrate be more cost-effective, but the capacity of the large and small placer ships of the Gulf of Guinea Shipping Company will be fully excavated, and at the same time, it will also undertake more business in the Gulf of Guinea region.

"Don't you take a group photo on stage, don't you get to know the senior management of Germany and Hong Kong?"

Garon Targaryen signed an agreement with the president of Dracula Port Group, and the host invited the guests to take a group photo on stage.

"......," Cao Mo said disapprehantly, "Ibogu Mining will soon assist Peimei Port in building a deep-water wharf, and Draculamo Port will definitely not give me any good faces, so why pretend to be smiling at this time?"

Lu Jianchao was sarcastic when he heard Cao Mo's words at first, and immediately went to the stage to take a group photo with his face on his face.

At the afternoon tea party, after Cao Mo handed over the donation check to the officials of the consulate, he greeted the people from Dongsheng and left with Xie Sipeng and Yang Deshan in a very low-key manner.

"Cao Mo just said that he would soon promote the construction of a deep-water wharf in Peimei Port, but I don't know if he didn't intend to mention it, or did he mean to do so?" Looking at Cao Mo's departing figure, Lu Jianchao sat next to Han Shaorong and whispered.

Conero Cement Plant 3 is still incredibly efficient, with a total of more than eight months to build, with a total annual production capacity of more than 4 million tons, and by the end of the year, Conero Cement will further reach the annual production capacity of 5 million tons of finished cement.

Any big move that Cao Mo said at this time, Lu Jianchao didn't dare to ignore it.

The construction of a deep-water wharf in Pemei Port will directly threaten the status of Dracula Moses as the first super port in Africa, and the participation of Ibogu Mining is naturally to break through the bottleneck of the export of copper concentrate from the Usan River.

In addition to the port of Pemei, the transportation bottleneck also includes the railway transportation problem connecting Mangba, Draculamo and other places to the port of Pemei, and to solve it, it needs to be solved together -- the deep-water port and the short section of the railway will need at least one billion dollars of investment in Africa.

It would be a bit too kind for Cao Mo to raise a billion dollars to help Akwa get through the transportation bottleneck between the northern industrial town and the port of Pemei just to facilitate the export of copper concentrate from the Wusan River.

In Lu Jianchao's view, Cao Mo can really raise a billion US dollars, and Dragu directly plans to build a large-scale copper smelter to smelt copper concentrate into anode copper for export, which can not only directly save four-fifths of the transportation capacity, but also obtain corresponding tariff reductions and exemptions - and the smelting of anode copper is really not too high-tech.

If Cao Mo must build a port and railway in Akwa, and consider the coal and iron transportation in the Mangba area, the investment value will be more fully reflected.

Cao Mo's next step is to reach out to the coal and iron ore of Mangba?

This was the only conclusion that Lu Jianchao thought of after pondering for a while, but he wasn't sure if Cao Mo was bluffing......
