"I'm selfish in the whole thing, but when Cao Mo pulled me to Yibo Ancient Village before, he didn't think of you at all......

Cao Mo walked up the stairs and saw Guo Jianzheng pulling Song Yuqing to stand in front of the windowsill opposite the staircase on the second floor to talk;

Cao Mo snapped his fingers and walked into his room indifferently.

Guo Jian sowed discord and co-opted Song Yuqing to isolate him, Cao Mo was not surprised, he had pulled Guo Jian to Yibo Ancient Village before, and he did intend to avoid Song Yuqing.

There is no word about this kind of thing, Song Yuqing can't help much, why did he pull her?

Of course, Guo Jian only had the mind to play this kind of little trick to sow discord at this time, but Cao Mo was relieved, this turtle cub seemed to work a few years earlier than him, but he was a scholar and a self-proclaimed graduate from a prestigious university, maybe he himself felt that he was better at playing conspiracy, right?

Cut!

Thinking of this, Cao Mo wanted to go out and ask Guo Jian, had his wet pants been washed?

I had been downstairs for too long, and the lamp in the room had dimmed by this time, and the main reason was that he had not been in Draculamo for the past few days, and he had forgotten to charge the battery.

Cao Mo took out a candle and a lighter from the drawer, and was about to light it, when the incandescent light above her head flashed and lit up.

After the peak period of electricity consumption, at this time, the power supply in the West Bank District was restored, Cao Mo took out his mobile phone and saw that the time was almost twelve o'clock.

Turn on the fan, the cool breeze is blowing, it's not so stuffy, Cao Mo is not sleepy, turn on the computer and habitually hit QQ first, and see Jiaying's dimmed avatar constantly beating.

"In?"

"Why don't you reply to my message? You're bold enough, I'll go to my grandmother to complain?"

A barrage of angry expressions.

"What's the matter, you haven't ignored me for six hours? I haven't offended you, have I? I said that Sister Cheng Xi has a boy chasing you, are you unhappy? But you ignored people at first. ”

"Please, talk to me! Yesterday I slept too late, and my grandmother said that girls should sleep more, and she didn't wake me up, but I was late for school, and I was about to be scolded by the head teacher for having a cerebral hemorrhage......

"Sister Cheng Xi came to my school again today, don't worry, she is alone, there are no other boys around. ”

"What's wrong with you, why can't you get through on your phone? Am I mistaken, I'm confused, I shouldn't have saved money before I didn't call your mobile phone first......"

"You scared me, such a beautiful and lovely sister, you still scare her, where is your conscience?"

"Why haven't you replied to my messages?"

............

After he arrived in Draculamo, Jiaying, who is usually frugal, also bought a second-hand computer ruthlessly, and chatted with Jiaying for a while at night QQ, which is almost his habit for more than a year.

Rushing to the village of Yibo to see the locals mining gold mines, he didn't tell Jiaying, and suddenly there was no news for several days, which really frightened Jiaying.

Cao Mo was just about to leave a message for Jiaying, but Cheng Xi's still bright avatar suddenly jumped:

"Cao Mo?"

"It's me. ”

"I'm scared to death, Jiaying just called me and said that I couldn't contact you for several days, and I cried on the phone, I don't know what happened to you, or if she talked nonsense and made you angry. ”

"Oh, a few days ago, I was suddenly sent by the company to an area near Draculamo on a business trip, and I stayed for a few days, the conditions were too poor, there was no electricity, no mobile phone signal, not to mention mobile phone Internet access - I will contact Jiaying in a while!"

Cao Mo was thinking about how to tell Jiaying, and Jiaying's avatar flashed, first with a series of crazy and angry expressions:

"You stupid, stupid, bastard, you're going to piss your pretty and cute little sister to death!"

"You've been on a business trip for so long, so I don't know how to say it to your beautiful and cute little sister in advance!"

didn't wait for Cao Mo to reply, and then the voice chat came in:

"Brother?" Jia Ying's timid voice came, as if she was worried that it was not her brother Cao Mo on the other side of the screen, but someone else pretending to be her brother to comfort her.

"It's me. Cao Mo said.

"You stupid, bastard, why don't you tell me on a business trip, do you know that I'm about to be pissed off by you? Your attitude is too problematic now, I haven't woken you up for a long time......" It was determined that Cao Mo was sitting at this end of the screen, Jiaying's voice suddenly became aggressive again, and she reprimanded for several minutes without repeating the same.

It's a pity that Draculamo's network quality is too poor, Jiaying's voice is intermittent, and the angry voice doesn't sound imposing at all.

"The leader temporarily decided to go on a business trip, and he temporarily decided to stay, and I can't help it-I have a very poor internet speed here, you speak slowly, otherwise I won't hear what you're saying - I can't hear it, and it's not interesting for you to scold, right?" Cao Mo said slowly with his head on his hands.

Jiaying found on the Internet that Kanem's public security was very chaotic, and in order to avoid her worry, Cao Mo always reported good news and not bad news.

As soon as he arrived at Draculamo, he was robbed at gunpoint by the driver in a taxi, and he didn't dare to mention it at all, let alone the fact that he died in the ancient village of Ibo.

"The company has a project in a suburb near Draculamo that may be there for a long time. There's no cell phone signal and no internet, so it's probably not easy for me to contact you. What's the matter, you send me an email to tell me, I will reply to Draculamo if I have a fake reply......" Cao Mo said precautionably.

"I have something to tell you, my anger hasn't subsided yet," Jiaying said, "I'll introduce a boyfriend to Sister Cheng Xi tomorrow, and I'll be angry with you." ”

Cao Mo smiled bitterly.

He and Cheng Xi have been classmates since childhood, and they have a close relationship, and they are full of thoughts about applying for the same university before the college entrance examination.

To be honest, I didn't have some ideas at that time, I was deceiving myself.

A few times with his peers, he still secretly wanted to hold someone's hand, but he was too timid at that time, and now that he thinks about it, he wants to slap himself twice.

Later, so much happened at home, he didn't repeat his studies, so he went directly to the Dongsheng workshop as a mechanic, and it was he who took the initiative to cold up the contact with Cheng Xi.

The quality of the network was really poor, so Cao Mo cut off the voice, chatted with Jiaying for a few words, and urged her to go to sleep, he was too short of time, and he still needed to check and download materials overnight.

Three or four years ago, Fibre Broadband was popularized in Xinhai City, but the speed of Draculamo City is still in the era of dial-up Internet access, and it is still very expensive.

The only fortunate thing is that Dongsheng's dispatched employees are in Draculamo, and all normal expenses, including room and board, are borne by the company.

In addition to the salary and subsidies, Cao Mo and the others also have an extra 30,000 local dollars (100 US dollars) of pocket money every month, and the treatment is quite good - if Guo Jian didn't want to ride him completely, he couldn't avoid the conflict with Guo Jian, and he still wanted to continue to live for a year or two, and when he had more savings, he didn't have to worry about Jiaying and grandma's living expenses at all.

Now, he'll have to at least get some of the initiative back in his hands.

Cao Mo's thoughts were a little chaotic, and there was also an irrepressible excitement.

He couldn't hear Guo Jian and Song Yuqing talking outside, and he didn't know if they were going back to their rooms, or if Song Yuqing was moved by Guo Jian's words, and the two avoided him and hid elsewhere to discuss things.

Cao Mo didn't care about this, and opened the web page to search for information on the simple mining of rock gold and placer gold, especially some of the equipment involved.

The internet is such a good thing.

It does not involve large-scale stratigraphic gold mining, shallow or open pit gold mining and riverbed placer gold mining, and the process is not complicated.

At least for Cao Mo, who has dropped out of high school, there is no obstacle that technology cannot overcome, and there is ready-made information on the Internet.

There are also many articles on the Internet about the mining of placer gold in Xinjiang, Northeast China and other places by domestic gold diggers in recent years.

The mining of rock gold in China is basically monopolized by large and medium-sized state-owned gold mining companies, and the mining of placer gold in the riverbed has caused too much damage to the environment, and China is currently cracking down on and prohibiting it.

Many solo gold diggers and small-scale gold mining teams have either disbanded in the past two years and started other businesses, or turned their eyes abroad.

North Korea, Myanmar and other neighboring countries have become the first choice for domestic gold diggers to shift their horizons outward, and there are no reports on the Internet about Chinese people entering Africa to mine gold.

However, sub-Saharan Africa has always been famous for its gold deposits, and European and American gold mining companies have been working in this land since the colonial period, and the gold mineral resources have not yet been exhausted.

Cao Mo suspects that as more and more Chinese businessmen and Chinese-funded enterprises enter Africa, there will also be large and small gold mining teams stepping into the continent.

After checking the information for a night, Cao Mo was even more sure that Guo Jian had returned to Draculamo City before, and he didn't care about his life or death at all.

Yes, a small-scale gold mining team, the most basic equipment investment does require millions of yuan - Guo Jianneng accurately reported this data, indicating that he had carefully searched the Internet before, studied relevant information,

The investment of millions of yuan does not include the operating costs of diesel fuel required for the daily operation of generators, excavators and other equipment.

In addition, one or two vehicles will need to be prepared to transport supplies such as diesel fuel from nearby towns into the village of Ibogu.

The funds he could use were too limited, so Cao Mo studied for a night and found that it was not impossible to reduce investment because of ugliness.

Normally, rock drilling equipment is indispensable for the most basic process of gold mining in open pit rock for gold mining teams, and excavators are indispensable for riverbed sand mining.

These two are big guys, and every purchase in China is hundreds of thousands.

Kanem's industry is extremely backward, not to mention engineering equipment, and even most of the daily necessities have to be imported from abroad. If he imports a rock drill or excavator, even if it is second-hand, the cost will be very high, which is not what he can afford now.

If the mining of placer gold in the riverbed is not considered in the early stage, it is not impossible to continue to use traditional means to dig holes and place explosives to break the rock at the existing gold mining site in Yibogu Village.

It is extremely laborious to manually drill a hole one or two meters deep in the rock wall with a steel drill, but the amount of stone obtained from a blasting is quite large, and the key point that affects the efficiency in the early stage is still in the subsequent processes such as crushing stone, sand making, gold sand panning and smelting.

The subsequent process involves a small crushed stone, sand making and oxygen lance melting equipment, and the cost is much lower. Plus a low-power diesel engine, considering purchasing second-hand ones, a total of $20,000 should be able to be fetched.

Even if you don't have the money left to buy a pickup truck, you won't be ashamed to find a donkey to transport diesel and other supplies to Ibogu.

............

............

The sky was white, Cao Mo printed out some of the materials that needed to be used, there was a thick stack, and the ink cartridges were all gone, so he felt sleepy.

Hearing the sound of cars downstairs, Cao Mo, who hadn't slept for a long time, woke up, opened the window and saw that Kabuja had just parked the car in front of the building; Lucy got up early, walked out of the villa at this time, and stood in front of the lawn to talk to Kabuja.

Cao Mo rubbed her face, walked upstairs with the materials that had only been printed at dawn, and did not rush to wash.

There was no one else in the living room and dining room, and I didn't know if Guo Jian and Song Yuqing were still in the room, or if they had already gotten up and gone out.

"Mr. Cao, you're up......" Kabuja and Lucy walked in and beckoned.

"You can just call me Ah Mo in the future. Cao Mo first handed the materials printed last night to Kabuja and Lucy.

Kabuja and Lucy have not been learning Chinese for a long time, so they may not all be able to understand it, but after working all night, Cao Mo did not have time to translate all the materials into English, so he thought that they would make do with it first, and he would talk to them in detail when he was washed.

Kabuja took the material with a hint of hesitation in his eyes.

Cao Mo glanced back upstairs, feeling that the hesitation in Kabuja's eyes was more obvious at this time.

"What, Guo Jian talked to you?" Cao Mo asked.

Kabuja didn't know how Cao Mo guessed this, he hesitated, but still said truthfully: "I just drove over, Manager Guo was standing at the intersection, he should have been waiting for me, and stopped me to say something." ”

Cao Mo thought that with Guo Jian's temperament and his vigilance against local employees, after experiencing last night's incident, he would only find a way to expel Kabuja and Lucy from the branch, but he didn't expect that he still underestimated Guo Jian.

Or is it that Guo Jian has already told Zhao Deshan what happened last night by phone, and all this is Zhao Deshan's idea?

"Lucy, did Guo Jian say anything to you in the morning?" Cao Mo looked at Lucy and asked.

"Guo Jian didn't say anything to me. I still felt strange when I saw Manager Guo walk out early in the morning. Lucy shook her head, a little confused.

"Mr. Guo stopped me and said that he and Mr. Yang were going to register a new company in Draculamo in their own names, and that they would use me as the manager of the new company and go to the old chief Felician to contract the gold mines in the village of Ibogu. At the same time, he also said that he would help me retain my position in Dongsheng West Africa and even promote me to be the director of the branch. But if I don't, he'll fire me. I didn't say yes to him, but I didn't reject him immediately, I ...... "Kabuja was ashamed that he didn't reject Guo Jian immediately.

To be honest, the most difficult thing between people is trust.

Especially in Draculamore, where the security environment is so chaotic, and the dispatched employees are so incompatible with local employees, wary of each other, and indifferent to each other, it is extremely difficult to gain the trust of others, or to trust others with confidence.

More often than not, the trust that has been built up over the years is often betrayed by temptation, or crumbled in an instant by unintentional disagreements and misunderstandings.

If before, Lucy said that Guo Jian didn't look for her in the morning, but stopped Kabuja at the intersection and was a threat and a temptation, Cao Mo would have more or less doubts in her heart.

He would wonder if Lucy had something else on his mind and didn't tell him the truth.

According to normal logic, Guo Jian has no reason to only woo Kabuja and leave out Lucy.

He and Guo Jian both knew that Lucy was not a simple cook, her education was not much lower than that of Kabuja, and she even had management experience in a local company.

When Lucy is in charge of shopping for food and daily necessities, she occasionally rubs some oil and water.

No matter how you look at it, if Kabuja is worthy of being threatened, then Lucy is a more worthy of being co-opted, and it seems that she is more vulnerable to threats and wooing.

Under normal circumstances, he would even wonder if Kabuja's words were not true.

He would even wonder if Kabuja and Lucy had been co-opted by Guo Jian, and acting in this play at this time was just to stabilize him first, or Guo Jian deliberately put Kabuja by his side as a disc and watched his every move.

In this way, Guo Jian and Yang Deshan, they can take the lead and negotiate a contract with the old chief Felician to contract the gold mine.

However, his instincts told him that neither Lucy nor Kabuja were lying.

Guo Jian, or Yang Deshan behind Guo Jian, is really not simple.

If he hadn't had such sharp intuition, he might have fallen into their trap.
