Chapter 326: Troubles
Located on the east shore of Zhiyun Lake, Tianyue will sit in her office on the second floor in the evening, looking out at the lake through the floor-to-ceiling glass windows, a breeze blows and shimmers, and there is a ginkgo forest in the distance on the lakeshore, which is in early winter, and the leaves are golden and more dazzling in the sunset, like a golden ocean.
At this time, Cao Mo felt that it was worth spending tens of millions of dollars to renovate the building structure of the old warehouse and change the lakeside side to a glass curtain wall.
If there is any regret, it is that the Zhiyun Lake, which is less than 1,000 acres square, is not vast enough.
Cao Mo sat leisurely in front of the window, but there were many things in her heart.
With the sharp rise in international gold prices since the end of August, the profitability of Ibogu Mining has increased rapidly, and the capital flow is abundant in a short period of time, which means that the remaining 500 million funds from the transfer of the equity of the Fagne River Gold Mine and the Gulf of Guinea Shipping are not necessary to be converted into US dollars for the time being and remitted to Africa.
However, the stock market is clearly overheated, and even after a new high in mid-October, signs of weakness are already showing.
Even Qian Wenhan reduced his holdings of Xinhai Bullion's shares at a high level, and Cao Mo definitely couldn't use this money to rashly enter the securities market to invest.
However, do you have to deposit this money into a bank account for interest?
At this time, Cao Mo found that he had been in Africa for many years, and his development of domestic cities, industries and other aspects was more about direct perception, and he was far from having a deep understanding.
"What are you thinking?" Zhou Han knocked on the door and came in, looking at Cao Mo sitting in front of the window, his brows furrowed as if he was worried, and asked curiously.
"Worried, worried!" Cao Mo sighed.
"What are you worried about, what are you worried about?" Zhou Han asked curiously.
"I'm worried about how to spend more than 500 million yuan!" Cao Mo covered his forehead with his hands, his fingers were crossed, looked at Zhou Han's face, and asked, "How do you think I can sleep this night?"
Zhou Han wanted to give Cao Mo a few white eyes.
At present, there are still 180 million yuan in cash in the account of the domestic parent company, but after signing the transfer agreement with Xinhai Gold Industry for the Fane River Gold Mine, the 360 million yuan in cash will soon be transferred within the agreed period - it is really worrying, so worried that Zhou Han wants to throw the book in his hand in Cao Mo's face.
Although Shen Ji and they all advocated cooperating with Qian Wenhan and Ge Jun to take this opportunity to make the Gulf of Guinea Shipping Company bigger, Cao Mo himself decided to find some books on trust capital first-Zhou Han ran to the bookstore for two hours, and worked hard to buy a stack of books, at this time, he threw the books into Cao Mo's arms angrily, stood in front of the window and looked at the orange sunset on the treetops on the other side of the lake, and had to admit that Cao Mo bought this land and warehouse and transformed it into Tianyue Headquarters Building.
Cao Mo flipped through the catalog at random, occasionally glancing at Zhou Han's back.
Zhou Han just went back to the office and took off his coat, and now he is wearing a pair of black trousers and a snow-white shirt with lace, which is a very cold and bright color match.
Zhou Han is not as tall as Song Yuqing, but his body is very well proportioned, standing in front of the window looks slender and slender, and the plump and full arms swelled up the trousers, outlining an attractive curve;
"Tick ......"
At this time, Cao Mo's mobile phone on the desk vibrate, Zhou Han was startled, turned around and saw Cao Mo sitting there without reaching out to take the phone, glanced at him, and said angrily: "You are too lazy, the mobile phone is there, and you want me to help you get it?"
"What is the secretary doing if you have something!" Cao Mo said.
Zhou Han didn't answer Cao Mo's words, walked to the desk and picked up the mobile phone, saw Shen Ji's phone, handed it to Cao Mo and said, "Shen Ji is looking for you." ”
"You've been on my side for less than two hours, so what's on your mind about me?" Cao Mo asked on the phone.
"What other arrangements do you have in China these two days?" asked Shen Ji on the phone.
Cao Mo's return to China this time was to sign an agreement with Xinhai Gold, and in addition to this, he would take a few days off as a vacation.
If you want to be busy, you will definitely be very busy, you have to accompany Song Yuqing to have breakfast in the morning, deal with daily work in the morning, play with cars or read books in the afternoon, and accompany Cheng Xi to eat and go shopping in the evening.
However, if Shen Ji really wants to have something or ask for a meal, he can say hello at any time, and there is no need to just leave for two hours and call to ask.
"What's going on with you?" Cao Mo asked.
"If you don't have anything special, let's go to Chonghai for two days and have a vacation - at this time, it is in season to eat mutton, puffer fish, and small seafood in Chonghai, and the climate is ......," Shen Ji said.
"What you say is so false, I'm not an eighteen-year-old girl, what can make you so easy to deceive?" Cao Mo asked.
"I just thought that you have more than 500 million in your hand, and there should be no channel to spend it in a short time, so you may be a little worried......," Shen Ji said.
"I'm dripping the sky, Dongsheng is trying to plot this little money in my hand for a plate as big as Chonghai Jinying Lake, as for it?" Cao Mo clapped his head and shouted.
"It's your business to vote or not, no one can hold your hand to sign and draw, but as a person from Dongsheng, I have to drag you to Chonghai to play around!" Shen Ji said.
"Okay, you arrange the time, I'm idle anyway. Cao Mo said.
Shen Ji called at this time, obviously Ding Zhaoqiang meant.
And regardless of whether he and Ding Zhaoqiang have a temperament or not, with the cooperation between the two sides in Kanem in recent years and his relationship with Shen Ji, Cao Mo knows that Chonghai's trip must be a trip, and it is a big deal to play in vain and not let go.
Song Yuqing walked in with a bag in her hand, and she came to ask Zhou Han to get off work together, and when she heard the second half of the phone between Cao Mo and Shen Ji, she asked curiously: "What are you talking about on the phone, how did you mention Dongsheng's project in Chonghai?"
"How tight is Dongsheng's funds now?" Cao Mo asked Song Yuqing.
Song Yuqing is in charge of the country, and he can still meet Shen Ji and Chen Rong every once in a while, and he is more familiar with the situation in Dongsheng than him.
"Still affected by the large flow of funds to the securities market, Dongsheng Xinhai development of several real estate, this year's sales are much lower than last year, housing prices seem to have fallen a little - real estate opened
The requirements for capital flow are very high, and Dongsheng Real Estate has expanded too fast in the past two years," Song Yuqing said, "As far as I know, the shares of listed companies held by the Ding family have been mortgaged, and the funds raised are all bet on real estate projects, but Dongsheng Real Estate's construction and the scale of payment collection this year have not been included in the financial reports of listed companies, and I don't know - if you want to know more, just ask Mr. Chen......
"It's better not to ask. Cao Mo pouted.
Ding Zhaoqiang now wants to do his work through Shen Ji, he can pretend to be confused, if Ding Zhaoqiang puts pressure on Chen Rong to do his work again, he asks more, isn't it to find himself unhappy?
"Zhou Han, let's go......" Song Yuqing saw that there was nothing wrong, so she directly beckoned Zhou Han to leave.
"What time is it for you to get off work? Be careful that I deduct your salary. Cao Mo asked.
"Half past five, it's time to get off work, if you leave us for dinner, can you still accompany your other three girlfriends?" Song Yuqing asked with black and white eyes staring at Cao Mo.
"Cough, cough, not so much......" No matter how thick-skinned Cao Mo was, his eyes still inevitably flickered, and he raised his hand to show surrender.
"Yes, you shouldn't give a good face to a scumbag. Zhou Han clapped his hands gloating and smiled.
"Shen Ji asked me to go to Chonghai, do you want to go over and play together for two days?" Cao Mo asked, "Is your aunt still in the Chonghai project?"
Dongsheng initially cooperated with Yucheng Real Estate in Chonghai for a small development project, and later Dongsheng injected a large amount of money into the project company, and after obtaining a large proportion of the controlling stake, he negotiated with the Chonghai Municipal Government about the overall development of the east bank of Jinying Lake, but Yucheng Real Estate still retained a small part of the shares in this project and did not completely withdraw.
However, Cao Mo only knew the general situation, and he didn't know whether Song Yuqing's aunt Su Xiu would stay and work in the Ziying Lake project.
"Well, my aunt is still working in the sales department of Jinyinghu......" Song Yuqing said with some hesitation, of course she wanted to accompany Cao Mo more, but after arriving in Chonghai, she would definitely go to the scene to see the project, and she would definitely have to contact and eat with her aunt, so things would be a little complicated.
"Then let's go together!I'm a big deal to pretend that I don't know you well!" Cao Mo said, "Shen Ji and I can take this opportunity to inspect Chonghai's night scene, and we don't necessarily have to pester you ......."
............
............
To avoid being bumped into by Cheng Xi's mother, Cao Mo parked his motorcycle in front of the subway station on the north side of the Silver Light Building.
It was the rush hour after work, and the bustling flow of people crowded into the subway entrance, as if a giant beast opened its bloody mouth and devoured these fresh lives - although he grew up in a crowded alley since he was a child, even at this time, Cao Mo still felt an indescribable sense of depression when he saw this crowded flow of people.
"Cao Mo!" Cheng Xi stood in the crowd, saw Cao Mo, waved her hand happily, and trotted over, her bright and innocent face, under the last touch of afterglow, was so dazzling, like a fiery flame in the cold current.
Cheng Xi was wearing khaki casual pants and a dark short coat, and ran over happily with a satchel, stood in front of Cao Mo and waved his hand, and asked with a smile: "Look dumbfounded, I don't have a chance to see such a beautiful beauty in Africa, right?"
"Yes, Xiao Jun has been in Africa for a year, and asked me a few days ago if he is a little psychopathic, how to look at the sows in the pen are very pleasing to the eye......" Cao Mo smiled.
"Ah, you dare to laugh at me for being a pig......"
Cheng Xi stretched out his finger to play Cao Mo's head, and when he saw that Cao Mo wanted to hide, he grabbed his ear with one hand and flicked it on his head, then got into the car and hugged his waist from behind, his face was gently pasted, turned into the motorway, and drove towards Tianzifang.
After making an appointment with Yu Jing and Chen Chang to eat at a Hunan restaurant in Tianzifang, Cao Mo drove Cheng Xi home first and put the car back in his yard.
Jiaying and Han Shuyun were both at home, Cao Mo and Cheng Xi had just entered the house, and they saw Han Shuyun standing in the living room complaining to her mother Chen Rong:
"There is not even a garage in the house here, and the Ferrari that Dad just gave me has not been two days old, and the underground garage has been marked several times, and I haven't found out who is here - when the McLaren that Dad sent me to China is transported, what should I do, it is impossible to continue to park in the public garage, right? Where is there a supercar parking in the public garage?"
Chen Rong is unlikely to buy a supercar for Han Shuyun, even if he can't buy a supercar for Han Shuyun, it is impossible to buy another supercar after the previous supercar has been crossed a few times, and he doesn't need to think about it to know that it is Han Shaorong's handiwork - there is no way, a character like Han Shaorong is the most popular in this round of bull market.
Huamao's investment route is very hidden, and it is difficult for outsiders to see its appearance, and Cao Mo lacks information sources in Africa, and it is not clear whether Han Shaorong's net worth has increased in this round of bull market.
However, thinking that Qian Wenhan's net worth may be 156 billion in this round of bull market, and he still has a huge amount of cash of 3 billion in his hand, Cao Mo guessed that Han Shaorong's net worth at this time must be 780 billion.
Of course, this is only Han Shaorong's personal net worth, what kind of capital he secretly controls is strong, Cao Mo is even more unclear, he wants to make a fortune now, but compared with Han Shaorong, it is not the same order of magnitude.
Even at this moment, the new steel union has not yet held a shareholders' meeting to vote on the new share reform plan, but this can only be regarded as a small setback for Han Shaorong in this round of bull market, and it will not prevent him from harvesting on other projects.
It is estimated that Han Shaorong doesn't want Han Shuyun to be too eye-catching, otherwise he may directly throw a Bugatti Veyron for Han Shuyun to drive.
"If you don't want to park in the public garage, what else can you do? You're still studying, shouldn't you drive around in a sports car, can't you read anymore?" Chen Rong angrily counted Han Shuyun, and saw Cao Mo and Cheng Xi coming in, "Cao Mo, it's just right for you to come back, your father and I are going to attend a banquet organized by the district, and Shuyun will go out to eat with you later......"
Seeing Han Shuyun's expression, he would rather eat instant noodles than go out with them later, Cao Mo casually agreed, looked at the back patio, didn't see Mrs. Cao's figure, and asked curiously, "Where is my grandmother?"
"Today seems to be your little aunt's fiftieth birthday, and Cao Li just came over to pick up your grandmother!" Chen Rong said.
Cao Mo remembered that his aunt was two years older than his uncle, was she fifty years old?
For Mrs. Cao, both sides are sons - for Cao Mo, even he will not in this life
has been in contact with his uncle's house, and it is impossible to prevent Mrs. Cao from running over there if she has something to do.
At this time, Cao Mo looked up at his father wearing a navy blue suit, and came downstairs in a very stylish manner, which matched Chen Rong in an evening dress, and said to Cheng Xi with a smile: "You see that my father is so old, and he still wears such a sassy!"
"You kid, how do you talk!" Cao Xiong smiled and raised his foot to kick over.
"Uncle Cao, you are so handsome today, no wonder you can deceive Aunt Rong!" Cheng Xi obediently flattered Cao Xiong.
"Haha, it's still Cheng Xi who can speak, you teach Cao Mo to learn to ......," Cao Xiong said with a smile.
As soon as Cao Xiong and Chen Rong left, Yu Jing called and said that she and Chen Chang had already arrived at the restaurant, and Cao Mo asked Han Shuyun: "Do you eat instant noodles at home, or do you go with us to a fly restaurant that is not worthy of your identity?"
Han Shuyun turned his head and went up the stairs, turned around and ran down again: "I'll go with you!"
Seeing the reluctance and hidden excitement in Han Shuyun's eyes, Cao Mo felt weak before she came out, what kind of demon did she want to be?
Walking out of the courtyard, walking to the Xiang Furong restaurant at the corner of the street, walking to the front of the restaurant and waiting to enter the door, Jiaying was stunned for a while, took two steps back to see the signboard, frowned and said, "Ah, brother, how do you book this hotel?"
"What's wrong, can't you eat it?" Cao Mo asked.
Tianzifang is becoming more and more famous, and the catering style is getting higher and higher.
Although Xiang Furong is newly opened in Tianzifang, it is an old brand of Hunan cuisine with a history of more than ten years in Xinhai, and it is a high-end restaurant in Xinhai a long time ago.
Yu Jing and Chen Chang are both from Hunan, Cao Mo and Cheng Xi also like spicy food, and they have nothing to do in the afternoon to study where to eat on the phone, and both of them chose here in unison.
"Cao Li's house is in for a treat. Jia Ying pouted.
“......”
Cao Mo was also slightly stunned, he was not in China, but he heard Jiaying say that his uncle's family had recently reconciled, and he had specially invited his father and Jiaying to do things several times, but his father and Jiaying ignored it.
His uncle chose to hold a birthday banquet for his aunt in this Hunan Furong, and he should have the intention of inviting his family to come over for dinner nearby, right?
Even though it is difficult to book a seat at other restaurants, Cao Mo would rather take a few girls to Jinhong by car and be slaughtered.
"You called Yu Jing and said that I was bleeding a lot today, and decided to let them be slaughtered when I went to Jinhong!" Cao Mo stabbed Cheng Xi's arm and asked her to call out Yu Jing and Chen Chang, who had already entered the restaurant.
"I don't want to leave, I'm going to go in and eat - you want to change the restaurant casually, leave me alone!" Han Shuyun said.
Cao Mo's head is as big as hemp, and he can't drag Han Shuyun away on the street, but let Han Shuyun in, even if he doesn't maliciously say something that pierces his heart, as long as Mrs. Cao knows that they pass through the restaurant and don't enter, it will hurt the old man's heart, right?
Cao Mo glared at Han Shuyun, but Han Shuyun raised his smooth chin disdainfully, ready to walk to the restaurant.
Cao Mo could only drag Jiaying and go in with Cheng Xi, thinking that even if she unfortunately bumped into her, it would be a big deal to finish the meal and change to a bar for the night.
However, it was very unfortunate that Cao Mo walked to the second floor of the place where they had booked, and before she could meet Yu Jing and Chen Chang, she saw Cao Li talking to her fiancé Zhang Jin standing at the top of the stairs......
To be honest, with Cao Li's personality, she didn't break up with Zhang Jin after that incident, and Cao Mo was more or less disappointed - Cao Li glanced at Han Shuyun resentfully, Han Shuyun raised her chin proudly, and didn't look at Cao Li.
In order to suit the characteristics of leisure and sightseeing tourists, there is no large box that can hold a banquet - even if there are some small boxes that can see the night view of the Qingtang River, it is only suitable for seven or eight relatives and friends to drink around the table.
So Cao Mo walked up to the second floor hard, and saw that the guests invited by his uncle were sitting directly in the hall, and Mrs. Cao was sitting next to his aunt, thinking that the two of them had changed their minds and agreed to come over for dinner, and the old face was so happy that they were about to laugh.
didn't want Mrs. Cao to mistakenly pull him and Jiaying into the table, Cao Mo hurriedly shouted at the top of her voice: "Grandma, what a coincidence, a friend invited us to eat here - we will go to sing after dinner for a while, so I won't accompany you back!"
Cao Mo didn't look at his uncle, and hurriedly pulled Cheng Xi and Jiaying into the aisle on the other side of the hall, looking for the small box they had booked.
Walking into the box, Cao Mo didn't say hello to Yu Jing and Chen Chang, and couldn't help but complain to Cheng Xi: "Life is really difficult, why do you have to have such a bumpy meal?"
"What's bumpy or not, Cao Mo, did you see your grandma in the hall?" Yu Jing asked curiously, "I just came in with Chen Chang, and your grandma looked a little weird when she saw us!"
Even though the two families have deep grievances, Mrs. Cao hopes that the two families can reconcile, and Cao Mo can understand it.
What old man would want to see his two sons' families never come together?
However, no matter what, Cao Mo couldn't swallow this breath.
Of course, Cao Mo's mentality is also strong, even if his uncle's family holds a birthday banquet in the hall outside, he will not affect his appetite......
"Why does your uncle insist on reconciling with your family?" Cheng Xi asked Cao Mo curiously.
In Cheng Xi's eyes, Cao Mo's uncle has been in business for a long time, and he is quite successful, with Cao Mo's uncle and aunt's scathing personality, seeing Cao Mo's family uproar, there may be jealousy in his heart, but it is impossible to stick a hot face.
Cao Mo didn't know what was going on, he didn't care about his uncle's family at all in Africa.
"I heard my grandmother say that it seems that she is partnering with someone to do business, and if she loses money, she may lose a lot......" Jiaying said in Xinhai, knowing more or less about some things.
"......" Cao Mo thought that this was the case, and asked gloatingly, "What kind of business does Cao Li's family do to lose a lot of money, and ...... happy to say it?"
At this time, Cheng Xi put his hand on Cao Mo's waist and asked him to look behind him.
Cao Mo sat with the box door on his back, turned his head and saw his uncle standing at the door with a constipated face, he greeted happily: "Ah, I heard that your family has lost a lot of money in business, who said that making money this year is as easy as drinking cold boiled water, what kind of business can your family lose money in this year?"
Cheng Xi patted his head, lowered his head to drink water, and decided to hold back for five seconds without looking at Cao Mo's face......
