“...... The new cook still can't do it, today I ordered someone to kill the head sheep, and I forgot to remind the sheep killer to let go of the blood - the meat that came out was too fat to eat. I'm going back to China in a few days, and I don't know if she'll be able to learn how to cook a few authentic new sea dishes. ”

Compared with the big affairs in the company, which often cost tens of millions or hundreds of millions, Song Yuqing is more concerned about Cao Mo not having a good cook around her.

What a terrible thing it would be to be in a foreign land and not be able to eat a few delicious meals all year round.

At this time, she knew more deeply that Lucy asked Cao Mo to cook Chinese food with a little pluck, which was definitely a reflection of her excellent education.

In order to further highlight Benin's position in Tianyue's industrial development strategy, the headquarters of the West African Agricultural Group abandoned Draculamo and Lunta, and eventually settled in Cotonou, Benin.

Cao Mo also bought a private estate on the shores of Lake Norquay, south of Cotonou, to serve as his private residence and office in Benin.

On this visit to Africa, Song Yuqing nominally presided over the merger of the West African Agricultural Group on behalf of Tianyue Investment, but the specific work was still done by Guo Donghu, Yang Deshan, Xiao Tubman, Li Qixi and others.

She attends various meetings at the newly established group headquarters every day, but her mind is more about returning to the private estate and how to prepare a delicious meal with the cooks to treat Cao Mo.

Lake Norquay is one of the many lagoons between Cotonou and Podonov, which is fed by the Véme River and is not completely cut off from the Gulf of Guinea, where the water of the river meets the incoming seawater, and the fish and shrimp are fatty and tender.

Lake Norquay is similar in size to Lake Conero, and in the early years, in order to escape the dark slave trade, many tribes from the nearby land moved into the lake, forming a well-known lake village.

Cotonou is located in the north of Lake Noquay, relying on the best seaport on the coast of the Gulf of Guinea, and currently gathers more than 800,000 people in Benin, twice the size of the capital Podonov, and is a well-deserved industrial port "important town" in Benin.

The private estate covering an area of more than 200 acres is close to the "prosperous" town, and you can also enjoy the beautiful scenery of Lake Norquay, and the conditions can be described as quite superior-

However, the quality of the staff recruited from the local area is a little unsatisfactory, and the chef can only cook local traditional dishes.

"It's okay, you've handled it well!" Cao Mo first nibbled on the roast mutton that Song Yuqing had cooked and prepared for tonight's night banquet as the main dish, feeling that compared to the bad craftsmanship that the cook asked him to teach a few days ago, it was already quite satisfactory to him.

He is also the most relaxed in front of Song Yuqing, and he also enjoys the atmosphere and atmosphere of life with Song Yuqing very much, and he almost doesn't have to think about the troubles outside of enjoying life.

With Stari and Zhou Han, he can't help but think about the development of Tianyue and the intricate political and economic relations in West Africa, while with Cheng Xi, he can't help but think about some things in the family and family.

Of course, in addition to Cheng Xi's preference to stay by Cao Mo's side, Stari and Zhou Han are very ambitious, especially Stari occasionally returns to Cao Mo to stay for two days, and then disappears.

Only with Song Yuqing, Cao Mo can not think about anything, just like two otaku otaku are very pure nesting at home.

"It can only be said that it is average!" Song Yuqing was a little proud of the follow-up treatment, stretching her waist and complaining that she was too idle in Africa these days, even if she was very diligent in yoga, her waist was still not thick enough, "Look at my waist, thighs, there is an extra layer of meat......"

Cao Mo turned around and wanted to discuss with Song Yuqing what it means to be a "good woman", and then enthusiastically conduct a field experiment.

"Don't make trouble!" Song Yuqing knew what he was thinking when she saw Cao Mo's evil eyes, but these days Cao Mowo has been living a nourishing life in the manor, and her energy has been released on her, making her a little unbearable.

Besides, Zhou Han and Stari may come over tonight, she doesn't want them to see that she is overdrawn to the point of exhaustion.

“...... I'll tell you seriously," Song Yuqing stood up, opened the window, looked at the lake in the distance, turned around, half-sat and half-leaned against the windowsill, her legs were more slender, and said, "Cotonou will usher in a more intensive construction period than the east bank of Conero in the next three to five years, and you will probably live here for most of the time when you go to Africa." Someone here really needs to clean up for you......"

Tianyue's series of industrial layouts along the shores of Lake Conero have almost taken shape, and the follow-up is to attract thousands of external enterprises and companies to settle in, improve the development of the entire industry, and then promote the development of the city.

In the next few years, the focus of Tianyue's industrial development and construction in the Gulf of Guinea will be fully shifted to Cotonou, Benin.

The West African Agricultural Group's headquarters in Cotonou was a first step.

With the cross-border power grid spanning Akva, Benin, and Kanem, it seems that the headquarters of Conero Energy will also need to be relocated to Cotonou.

How could Cao Mo take the new steel plant, oil refinery, copper smelter and new gold refinery, a series of investments amounting to more than a billion US dollars, and the subsequent construction of the Mamba-Cotoro railway and the Cotoro ocean terminal?

I bought this private estate covering an area of more than 200 acres on the shore of Lake Noquay for the convenience of long-term living.

"You also need to be able to find the right people!"

Cao Mo also wants to pick a suitable person to come over and take good care of the manor here.

Sterna, who has been managing the lakeside wood-layer hotel, has just obtained a correspondence diploma in hotel tourism from Dracula University, but Cao Mo hopes that she can have a better career development in the future, and has arranged for her to be Yang Deshan's assistant to the president.

Owema was old, and neither he nor the old chief were willing to leave the Ibogu tribe.

Duganj, Ade, Oulu, the Big and Small Kusky Brothers, and Tesa and others, in addition to taking turns to Cao Mo's side to be responsible for security, external liaison, intelligence information aggregation, etc., are also in charge of the Conero Security Company and Tubman's security consultants, and it is impossible for Cao Mo to take care of the trivial matters around him.

As for the dispatched employees, there are some very capable people who have emerged, but those who are capable, Cao Mo hopes that they can directly make greater contributions to the development of the company, rather than staying by his side.

But Zhou Han stayed in Cao Mo for a period of time before, and many trivial things were arranged properly, so Cao Mo didn't have to worry about anything.

However, after he broke through that relationship with Zhou Han, Stari not only handed over some affairs of Tubman's security consulting company to her, but also dragged her away for a month or two at every turn.

Stari said very bluntly that she was too busy to usually take care of eating Cao Mo, but she would never let Zhou Han have a chance to eat secretly.

Cao Mo really couldn't complain.

Song Yuqing had a suitable candidate in her mind, but she was afraid that pushing this person to Cao Mo would simply lead the wolf into the house or send the sheep into the tiger's mouth, so she hesitated for a long time and didn't take the initiative to say it, and at this time she just followed Cao Mo's tone and said: "Yes, this candidate is really difficult to choose!"

Cao Mo complained silently: Women are duplicitous.

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

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

The manor is located on the shore of the lake, covering an area of more than 200 acres, except for a four-storey main building and two rows of bungalows where cooks, maids, servants and drivers live, there are no other buildings in the manor.

The main building is also quite dilapidated, it has not been cleaned up for many years, and the predecessor is a dilapidated chieftain family, and it is precisely because of this that the manor with such a favorable location will be taken off.

Lake Norquay is a low-lying lagoon where seawater backs up and meets the waters of the Weme River, so that the saltiness and light mix to form a lagoon.

The terrain on this side of the manor is not high, and Cao Mo and his family have only lived in it for more than half a month, and they encountered a heavy rainstorm that submerged one-third of the manor.

Fortunately, neither the main building nor the nearby living quarters were flooded.

It's not far from the famous water village, and standing on the shore of the lake, you can see the dense wooden houses or tin shacks, supported by tall logs, hanging above the lake.

The fact that the water village has been able to exist in the lagoon of the coast for a long time is a testament to the calm of the Gulf of Guinea.

This is a completely different feeling from the fact that the southeast coast of China experiences several tropical storms every year.

Because he couldn't spare manpower, Cao Mo lived in the manor with Song Yuqing during this time, and he was not too busy, but he and Song Yuqing planned the renovation plan of the manor.

Cao Mo likes to be close to nature, but she doesn't like to be too lonely.

In addition to digging a few more ditches in the manor to add water features and enhance the drainage capacity, he mainly thought about building the dormitory area for dispatched employees directly in the manor, or directly expanding it as a manor-style hotel.

In this way, he will not live here for a long time in the future, and his resources will not be empty and wasted.

In short, he didn't think of this place as a root to put down.

In order not to occupy the resources of the Conero Construction Group and to ensure that the foundation stone of the Cotonou No. 2 thermal power plant and refinery are laid and the construction is carried out as quickly as possible, the renovation and expansion plan of the estate is still in Cao Mo's private notebook, and a project manager has not been hired from the Conero Construction Group to take charge of this matter.

"Why didn't you play your childish game in the house today, and you were willing to run out to blow the wind?"

When it was approaching dusk, Stari and Zhou Han rushed back to Cotonou from Augusta, and six off-road vehicles drove into the manor, Stari jumped down with Zhou Han first, and saw Cao Mo and Song Yuqing sitting on the lakeside enjoying the sunset on the lake, and asked like a snake.

During this period of time, in addition to directly hiring cooks and gardeners from the local area, and cleaning up the old main building inside and out, the biggest project is only to pull a special network line to get rid of the pain of relying on satellite communication to surf the Internet like a snail to play web games.

Yang Xu's side has been injected with funds, and the manpower is also sufficient, and in a little more than two months, two copies have been updated in a row.

Yang Xu has been in this industry for several years, and he has figured out the way, he used to think about financing, and he also entered a new level of development, but he didn't expect to step into a big pit and almost die.

After Yang Xu got the 30 million financing from Wood Elephant Capital, in addition to smashing tens of millions of dollars into operations and activating the silent popularity, he was also willing to give up nearly half of the flow of water in the follow-up, and put it into operation in a steady stream.

The game of the general,The quality foundation is very good,Effective operation,With the continuous development of new content、Update,The activity is naturally rising,A new server will be opened every day。

Although the operational investment is very high, as the daily activity and turnover continue to climb to new highs, after deducting the cost of operation, daily maintenance and content development, after the Spring Festival

This month, an additional $4 million can be used to support the development of new games - which is almost equivalent to the net monthly profit of the web game version of General.

Although the profit scale of Yunbo Games is completely insufficient in front of Tianyue, as a game company, it is a very considerable number.

Especially at present, online games in China is an emerging Internet industry that has attracted great attention from the capital market, and there are several stocks in the securities market around the Spring Festival that are related to the concept of online games and get a round of hype.

In order to avoid the equity being spread too much, Yunbo Games' A round of financing plan also gives a 10% amount, and is currently in contact with several investment institutions.

Cheng Xi used to pull Cao Mo to play games, and he still had a little guilt of self-degradation and wasting time, but now he is justifiably pulling Cao Mo online to play copies, and Cao Mo will drive off-road vehicles and pickup trucks produced by Tianyue every day, which is famous.

Every time Stari sees Cao Mo sitting in front of the computer, she does not hide her disdain and contempt for him: At this time, is the casino spending a lot of money and the clubhouse not fragrant?

Of course, Cao Mo played a copy online, and there was a novice number of female swordsman characters who often ran over to rub experience and equipment, and shouted at him and Cheng Xi's "little brother" and "little sister", bad network, called intermittent voice, and he also pretended not to know that this novice number was Stari hiding in the room to play.

Just like the "complaint" about Starry now, he also pretended to be "dissatisfied" and waved his fist, but when he saw little Tubman walking down from the off-road vehicle behind, he didn't compete with Stari for the latest wrestling that had just grown a little, and stood up and walked towards little Tubman: "Why do you have time to run to me today?"

At that moment, two young men and women stepped out of the last Humvee.

Cao Mo knew the Aja girl, the niece of the Speaker of the Parliament of Benin, Badley, and the youngest daughter of Japo Dabadli, the Grand Chief of the Ajah Coastal District.

Honorina Baddeley has a model-like standard figure and a delicate face, which can be said to be a standard African beauty, but her smooth skin is black and shiny, but Cao Mo's aesthetic is outside of Cao Mo's aesthetics.

At a time when the Tianyue family needs a core figure with strong activity to integrate into Beninese high society and forge closer relationships with Beninese high society celebrities and dignitaries, Tubman Jr. is the perfect fit, and the Tubman family needs to be deeply rooted in Benin.

For more than a year, however, Tubman Jr.'s main job has been to socialize extensively with local magnates and dignitaries in Podonov, Cotonou and other major regions of Benin.

However, after all, little Tubman is not a native of Benin, nor did he grow up in Benin, and he is still mixed with Europa blood, and there is always a layer of estrangement with the local elites and dignitaries that are difficult to break through.

However, it is the speaker of the Beninese parliament, Baddeli, who is willing to enter into a closer relationship with Tianyue, and intends to match his niece Honorina with little Tubman, who has been single since breaking up with his ex-wife.

Although little Tubman has long passed the stage of love at first sight, Honorina's appearance, temperament, and especially the deep-rooted status of the Baddeli family in Benin satisfy him, and the relationship between the two has developed rapidly to the point of talking about marriage after a short relationship.

So when Cao Mo came to Benin this time, he had already met with Ononina a few times and gave him rich gifts, but the young man who walked with Ononina looked to be in his early thirties, with a broad nose and lips, and he was also a standard Aja person, with a yin temperament, but it was the first time he had seen him.

"Theron Baddeley, Honorina's brother, Major of the 2nd Division of the Beninese Army, has been on vacation from the barracks for the past few days - when I went to pick up Honorina, he thought he would come over to meet you, so he came along......" Tubman Jr. introduced Theron Baddeley.

"It's a great honor to meet Mr. Theron!" Cao Mo took the initiative to extend his hand to Theron Baddeley, exchanged a few words with him, raised his hand and pointed to his watch, and said, "We have an important conference call to attend at this time, so we can only ask Mr. Tubman to take Mr. Theron to visit the manor first......"

After that, he left little Tubman, Ononlina and Theron by the lake, and he took Song Yuqing, Stari, Zhou Han, and Tesya and Duganjie to the main building not far away.

Walking to the second floor, Cao Mo walked straight to the window - at this time, the setting sun was shining on the window glass, and he didn't have to worry about seeing the situation in the building from the outside, he quietly stared into the distance, and little Tubman was walking along the lake embankment path to a yacht dock on the west side.

Far away, Cao Mo couldn't see the subtle looks on their faces clearly, but the movements of their bodies could still be seen approximately: little Tubman should be quite proud to introduce the situation of the manor and Tianyue's big moves in Benin, Honorina was a little dancing, as if she was excited by the upcoming sumptuous night banquet and the beautiful scenery at dusk, but Theron looked around absentmindedly......

"What's the matter, is there something wrong with this Theron Baddeley?" Zhou Han and Stari looked at Cao Mo's solemn expressions and asked in surprise.

"When he got out of the car, his eyes gave people the feeling of peeping at his prey!" Cao Mo said softly, "Usually this means a very dangerous aura - Tesya, you cooperate with Miss Zhou now to get the details of Theron Baddeley as quickly as possible, but be careful not to startle the snake!"
