Chapter 167: Change
"Ahh
Shen Ji sneezed, rubbed his nose with a tissue, and said to Cao Mo suspiciously,
"It's been weird lately, I've been sneezing for no reason, I don't know if it's allergies, or if someone is always thinking about me!"
"That must be you doing too much bad things out there. Cao Mo said with a smile, he felt that Shen Ji was hiding something in his heart, but Shen Ji didn't say it, and he couldn't get to the bottom of it.
"That's also me taking the blame for you, others mistakenly think that I have done a lot of bad things," Shen Ji patted his forehead and said distressedly, "Deshan participated in the investment of Conero Lake Industrial Park, and now the group has a lot of openly and secretly saying that I have also engaged in a lot of shady private investment in Kanem, and I have listened to those yin and yang weird words recently, and it is really a headache ......"
"If you don't admit it, it's over, who will bite you? or the blind Chen Zhi?" Cao Mo asked.
He didn't go to Draculamo much during this time, just nested in Longta and stared at the construction of various factories and hydropower stations, stared at the training of the team, and didn't have the energy to care about the open and secret battles within the Dongsheng Group, and he also felt that it was a little far away from him.
"Some people are dissatisfied with me in their hearts and won't say it, but there are always a few people who are dancing happily, what can be done?" Shen Ji said distressedly.
"Think about how much money you can make, everything is calm. Look at Mr. Yang now, the international gold price is about to soar to a high level of 600 US dollars, smiling all day long, whoever provokes him, he doesn't bother anyone, and his temper is very good. Cao Mo said.
In mid-to-late March, the international gold price was sprinting towards a high of $600 per ounce.
Xie Sipeng, Yang Deshan, and Xu Sheng jointly developed the Qiao Nai gold mine, which made a profit of more than $250,000 from mining coarse-grained gold and selling tailings gold sand in March, compared with less than one-tenth of the profit in the same period a year ago.
"I'm a wool at this point, not to mention the three new gold placer ships you bought after the New Year, and the refinery has also been completed and put into operation, how much money do you have to put into your pocket every month?" Yang Deshan lay on the rattan chair and said with emotion, "The new cement plant of Conero has been officially put into operation, and you are now dragging more than 40,000 tons of finished cement production capacity in your hands, how much money do you have to make from it!"
Yang Deshan mainly focused on the construction of the Conero Lake Industrial Park and the technical transformation of the natural gas power plant, and compared the situation of the new cement plant.
Even though the price of finished cement in the Dracula building materials market has now fallen to the level of $200 per ton on the eve of the cement storm, the cost of the Felician family building materials company in all aspects is also declining, and the profit margin has not been compressed too much.
The first phase of the new cement plant was put into operation, and the Felician family building materials company actually controlled by Cao Mo has exceeded 40,000 tons of cement per month.
The second phase of Conero's new cement production capacity, which started construction in the middle of last month, is larger, and Cao Mo has invested nearly twice as much as expected, and after it is put into operation, it will make the monthly cement production capacity of the Fellician family building materials company likely to exceed 80,000 tons.
At that time, Felician Building Materials Co., Ltd. will effectively become the fourth largest cement merchant in Kanem.
Of course, all this is due to Cao Mo's extremely decisive decision-making, the speed of building the factory is too fast, and the new surplus is almost non-stop, and it is continuously invested in the upgrading and expansion of new and old projects.
Yang Deshan and they are much slower, and the Qiaonai Gold Mine invested in has made a profit of nearly two million US dollars so far, but he, Xie Sipeng, and Xu Sheng have all shared this part of the profits.
Now they have decided to continue to add equipment and personnel to the Jonai gold mine, but they will not see results until two or three months later.
Of course, as a large group, Dongsheng's decision-making is slower.
Dongsheng's refinery in Castle Peak District, facing the government
Under pressure, they had to agree to relocate, and at the same time confirmed that Kanem's palm oil business could indeed contribute to the group's stable profits, and it was only then that the decision was made to officially start the construction of the new factory in the Conero Lake Industrial Park.
Shen Ji came over this time, and the public name was to start the construction of the new factory.
Dongsheng still decided to put a larger palm oil refining capacity in China, but even so, the new plant's annual capacity of 40,000 tons of crude palm oil and 20,000 tons of palm oil refining capacity have also made Dongsheng's investment in the new plant in Lake Conero Industrial Park exceed expectations, reaching 25 million US dollars.
In addition to this, Dongsheng has also decided to invest $10 million to build an aluminum profile processing plant in the Lake Conero Industrial Park to supply the sub-Saharan African market.
The construction of these two large-scale factories, together with the Conero cement plant, can be regarded as supporting the framework of the industrial park, and the construction of the new town of Conero has also reached the opportunity to officially start.
With the support of Blake, Oppenheimer, Rupert and the local families of Lunta, Ojosan was elected to the Kaneem House of Representatives in the late March election of members of Lunta and nearby districts on the basis of votes cast only by virtue of the votes cast in Lonta and nearby areas.
Now Cao Mo is discussing the strategy with Abacha and Ojosan, that is, Abacha and Ojosan in the Federal House of Representatives to jointly promote the development of the Conero Lake Industrial Park as a core political achievement.
Shen Ji came over, and Oqiaosan, who was adapting to his new identity at this time, also rushed over to meet him to discuss the follow-up development of the Conero Lake Industrial Park and the new town, and everyone sat on the terrace of the small building by the lake, drinking the new tea that Shen Ji had just brought from China.
Abacha couldn't taste the taste of new tea, and chewed the soft and glutinous tea leaves with relish.
The dry season in Kanem is coming to an end, and the lakeside building is located in the depths of the dense forest of Longta, and the weather is even wetter.
Lily, who returned to Ibogu with her father for a vacation this time, was even slimmer and slender, running around the lake in a long green dress, like a beautiful elf.
Cao Mo's main focus is still on the construction of cement plants, hydropower stations and mining areas, and he is also very casual about how to develop and build industrial parks and new towns, so he lies on a rattan chair with his head in his hands and listens, and does not want to think too much.
With that energy, it is better to take a look at Song Yuqing's round buttocks wrapped in jeans.
Song Yuqing was afraid of other people's gossip, and after the staff dormitory in Conero Lake Industrial Park was officially opened, she lived there, and it was difficult for Cao Mo to get the opportunity to make love to her, so he was really angry.
The old chieftain Felician called out to Lily from afar, and after a while Lily came to the terrace and invited everyone over to dinner.
"It doesn't seem that there is anything particularly rich at noon, one lobster per person will go to the bar!" Cao Mo stood up and said, "I have recently strengthened my winemaking skills, you can taste the palm wine I brewed myself, if you are willing, I can sell the recipe to you to open a winery......"
"Deshan, they're all busy like that, how do you have the spare time to learn how to make wine?" asked Shen Ji with a smile.
"I just gave Kabuja, Wendy Scalfe, and Lucy a raise—I shouldn't mention that again, it hurts my heart to mention it—and I'll take care of everything, and Kabuja, Lucy, and Wendy Calife will be responsible for spending my salary?" Cao Mo laughed.
Seeing that Shen Ji intended to slow down, Cao Mo also stopped, took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to Shen Ji.
Yang Deshan and Song Yuqing glanced back and saw that something was wrong with the atmosphere, and hesitated to go to the restaurant with Abacha and Oqiaosan first.
Shen Ji shouted to stop them.
"What's the matter? I see that you have hesitated for a long time, and I feel sorry for you if you don't say it. Cao Mo doesn't smoke much, but at this time he always has to find something to resolve the embarrassment.
"I haven't been able to find out who leaked the news
It's leaked, but my uncle still knows where the money comes from...... Shen Ji said.
"So, what conditions must Chairman Ding prescribe that makes you feel unspeakable?" Cao Mo glanced at Shen Ji and asked indifferently.
"Deshan and Yuqing have worked hard and their shares are not high, but I can't hold shares in Conero Energy," Shen Ji said with a somewhat astringent voice, "Dongsheng will use an equity investment fund under the name of the group to invest in the acquisition of my shares, and at the same time, I also hope that you can transfer 30% of the shares and let Dongsheng be a major ......shareholder."
Yang Deshan was also shocked in his heart, a moment ago he was still excited about the rapid development of Conero, and he didn't think that at this moment, the group would reach over to pick peaches.
What if Cao Mo doesn't agree?
Shen Ji was transferred from the position of vice president of the overseas investment division, and the group sent another person to take over the West Africa branch, he, Wang Jianzhong, Li Qixi, and Song Yuqing were all kicked out of Dongsheng?
In addition, Dongsheng will also draw a line with everything Cao Mo is engaged in?
"The group finally offered me a price to consider, right?" Cao Mo took two puffs of cigarette and twisted the cigarette butt on the railing, he actually didn't like the taste of smoke.
"I've been fighting for a long time, and the group only agreed to pay $16 million to buy 30% of your shares. Shen Ji said.
"Let's think about it, let's go eat first......" Cao Mo said.
"This price is too low, isn't it?" Yang Deshan couldn't help but feel sorry for Cao Mo.
At present, Cao Mo has integrated the Longta natural gas power plant and hydropower station group into Conero Energy Investment Co., Ltd., and the installed capacity of 100,000 kilowatts can be successfully completed within this year.
This is not a very conspicuous energy company in China, but Kanem, especially next to Draculamo, has much more profit margins than in China.
Regardless of the subsequent development, based on the average annual average power generation scale of 800 million kWh, Conero Energy's annual net profit will not be 30 million US dollars after deducting financial costs.
In other words, the 30% stake that the group requires Cao Mo to transfer corresponds to an annual profitability of US$9 million.
Crucially, this does not take into account the strong development expectations of Conero Energy.
Considering that the economic and political situation in Kanem is far less stable than in China, the value of Conero Energy should not be evaluated by the domestic price-earnings ratio method, but in Yang Deshan's view, the value of 30% of Conero Energy's shares will not be less than 50 million US dollars.
"Dongsheng bought your 15% stake, only eight million dollars?" Cao Mo asked.
"The group was only willing to bid $20 million for a 45 percent stake in Conero, and mine had only $4 million in that stake. Shen Ji said, he looked at Cao Mo with a little weakness, and was even more worried that Cao Mo suspected that he had a behind-the-scenes deal with his uncle, so the offer was just to put pressure on Cao Mo and buy his shares cheaply.
"You're too easy to talk to," Cao Mo sighed and said, "No matter who is behind it, you can help me deliver a word to Chairman Ding, there is no problem for Dongsheng to clear up the relationship with us, I don't rely on Dongsheng, I can survive in Longta." Who dreamed of taking out a controlling stake in Conero Energy from me so cheaply, the door has not yet opened. If Dongsheng wants to join forces with Taihua and the Lu family to get me, I can make Dongsheng's investment in Kanem all yellow!"
"......" Shen Ji stood there, seeing that Cao Mo had talked about this, he didn't know what to say except for smoking.
"I don't have an opinion about you, I believe you fought for me, but your grandfather and your uncle were able to start a business from scratch and establish Dongsheng, obviously not vegetarian. However, we really can't be too weak," Cao Mo said with a smile at Shen Ji, "Let's go over to eat first, you can be wronged first, and be responsible for passing the word in the middle......"
