Cao Mo's current influence in Longta and even Oyo can be said to be very large, but in Draculamo, the economic and commercial heart of Kanem, their influence is not at all a heavyweight with the Jidam family.

Initially, Blake, Oppenheimer and the Rupert family were united to form the Sika Aidet Power Grid Company, with the aim of using the power of Oppenheimer and Rupert to fight against the Giddam family if Starry's affair was unfortunately exposed.

Dongsheng's acquisition of Conero Energy's equity made Cao Mo realize that some of his previous ideas were still naïve and immature enough.

If they don't try to establish direct power and influence in Draculamo, but try to rely on and attach themselves to others, they are more likely to be betrayed by others.

In addition to the fact that this market does have great potential to be tapped, Cao Mo also values the significance that Huachen Motorcycle has established in Kanem and other West African countries, and the influence he can secretly and directly implement will extend to these regions.

Stari's trip to Benin was already secretly planned, and Cao Mo's return to Kanem this time was, of course, the most important thing about the preparations for Tianyue Trade.

At this time, Zhou Jianming combined the characteristics of Kanem's motorcycle market and the relevant regulations of the Kanem federal government to introduce their preparations in the past half month.

“...... In Kanem's motorcycle market, the tariff preferences enjoyed by large importers and small importers vary greatly. Huachen's previous general distributor in Africa did not directly enter the Kanem market, but cooperated with Kanem's small importers, and the whole vehicle officially entered the customs from the port of Draculamo, with a tariff of up to 30%. Of course, the price of Huachen motorcycles in Dracula was extremely high, as high as 800 US dollars per car, even if the tariff was high, it had little impact on the profit margin of the bicycle, but the most serious consequence was that the product officially entered the African market from 02, and by the end of 05, only 30,000 motorcycles had been sold in Kanem......

“...... Large importers who can obtain a license from the Federal Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Industry for the import of motorcycle parts can enjoy tariff preferences of less than 5%. Our plan is to reduce the sales of Huachen Motorcycles directly to $500 or even less, and use the price advantage to impact the motorcycle market in Kanem, whether the tariff can be reduced from 30% to 5% is too important for our profitability. ”

“...... We have analyzed the regulations and policies of the federal government in Kanem, and it is not difficult to bypass the conditions for applying for a bulk import permit. Huachen's factory in China can install the main components of the motorcycle, and then ship them to Kanem as parts...... The product showroom we are currently preparing comes with after-sales maintenance capabilities, which can directly claim to have vehicle assembly capabilities. Japan's Suzumoto and Honda motorcycles, their assembly plants in Dracula More, are also quite rudimentary. If we want to go further, we can officially acquire a motorcycle assembly plant at Draculamo......"

"Is there a problem with the funds?" Cao Mo asked.

He has already negotiated with Shen Ji and Hexi Fund about financing.

If there is no Hexi Fund and additional funds are needed, he will discuss with Shen Ji and make a decision quickly, but with the Hexi Fund involved, things will be much more complicated.

There are no special circumstances, Cao Mo still hopes that Xu Bin and Zhou Jianming can be tight

with 50 million flowers.

"There is no problem with funding. Our previous budget was relatively conservative, but Mr. Yang and Mr. Abacha provided us with great convenience from the beginning, and many of the estimated problems have actually been solved, and the budget is much more relaxed. Zhou Jianming said.

"So, I gave you too much money?" Cao Mo asked with a smile.

"Now with a little more money, you can do more. Zhou Jianming replied with a smile.

"If we buy an assembly plant in Draculamo and move the equipment and staff to the Conero Lake Industrial Park, how much time will it take?" Cao Mo asked.

If possible, the production base will still be located in Longta, and the external will mainly cooperate with local car dealers to establish distribution channels. In this way, the conflict with the Jidam family will intensify, and Tianyue's business will be able to avoid a big impact.

"The assembly is also difficult and easy, the assembly of large parts and vehicles, ordinary car dealers do not necessarily have assembly lines, can be completed," Zhou Jianming said, "The acquisition of ready-made assembly plants, mainly to save staff training and imported assembly production line import, installation problems, even if they are transferred to the ready-made plant in Conero Lake Industrial Park, the main consideration is the assembly line transfer, installation time consumed, the speed will not be too slow......

"At that stage, we considered transferring the assembly capacity to the Conero Lake Industrial Park. Since the cost is not high, Cao Mo decided to really build the assembly factory, first engage in motorcycle assembly, and then consider the production of simple parts for assembly after the business is relatively stable, so as to improve the "domestic production rate" of Huachen Motorcycle in Kanem......

Cao Mo motioned to Zhou Jianming to continue with this line of thought.

"In the early stage of market development, the focus is of course on Draculamore," Zhou Jianming continued, "including Draculamo's Ogun Prefecture in 05 years, only more than 70,000 new motorcycles were imported, but the import of second-hand motorcycles was 300,000. If we can reduce the price of a bicycle to $500 or even lower, and start the market in early June, we can sell less than 40,000 new cars in Draculamo by the end of this year – and the market that can be opened up this year is estimated to be around 40,000 to 60,000 units, except for Ogun......"

As the most prosperous and modern city in West Africa, Draculamo also has a relatively mature economic system, Xu Bin and Zhou Jianming can give a more accurate estimate based on their work experience and actual investigation over the years, but in addition to Draculamo, the other 36 states in Kanem, even including the new capital of Ishidan, the situation is complicated, on the one hand, they do not estimate well, on the other hand, they do not dare to be too optimistic.

Zhou Jianming has taken people to talk about cooperation agreements with some car dealers of Asica and Catro in the past few days, and has also determined Huachen 100 motorcycle as the main product in view of Kanem's climate and geography and the characteristics of the current consumer group.

Although they had only visited Draculamo's market twice before this permanent stay, Zhou Jianming and Xu Bin had been in Indonesia for three years, and had accumulated a wealth of experience in building a distribution system and marketing in an unfamiliar market that lacked sufficient support.

Indonesia's economic development and the complexity of the various domestic forces can be better than Kanem's, but it is also limited.

Xiao Jun lacks direct experience in the overseas market, even if he participates in the internal training with Huachen in China, Zhou Jianming also hopes that he can take a group of employees to go in person

Run to the market of Cardeiro, the capital of the state of Oyo.

Cardeiro, the capital of Oyo state, is far less than Draculamo, but in West Africa, Catero, with a population of 1.2 or 3 million and a certain industrial and mining base, is already considered a key market - Cotonou, the capital of Benin, and the outer port of Podonovga, has a total population of only 800,000.

Although Xiao Jun is a close friend of him, Cao Mo will not interfere with Xiao Jun's work arrangements within Tianyue, and he also hopes that Xiao Jun can accumulate experience in the front line of the market.

As the capital of Oyo, Catelo is the Blake family, which is close to them, and it is definitely a powerful area there, and it is also the most controllable area for them outside of Lonta.

After learning about this, in addition to Xiao Jun accompanying Zhou Jianming to meet the members of Tianyue's marketing sales team, Cao Mo also asked Lucy to accompany Guo Donghu to the newly built cocoa bean processing plant in Conero Lake Industrial Park to familiarize himself with the situation first.

After chatting with Kabuja and Wendiscaf about the operation of the mine and the factory, Cao Mo told them to leave first, and finally left Abacha to sit on the terrace with him.

"How many people in Longta are engaged in motorcycle passenger transportation in Draculamo, including bicycle passengers, do you know the specific situation, have you been in contact?" Cao Mo asked Abacha.

"Ronta's current riders in Draculamo from two-wheeled vehicles, about six or seven thousand people, the proportion of motorcycle riders is not too high, for most of the riders in difficult conditions, a second-hand car of five or six hundred dollars is already considered a heavy asset, at present, the number of Sanchez, Bano, and Bogu families in the south of Ronta is the largest, and the other Lonta people go to Draculamo to engage in this business, and they are almost dependent on these three family forces- Kent Huq, the son of the head of the Bogu family, is a ruthless fellow, he secretly controls the Bogu family's manpower in Draculamo, and has done a lot of big cases, and I haven't contacted him before, but I have contacts with the people of the two families of Sanchez and Bano - what are you planning to do?" Abacha's expression perked up, knowing that Cao Mo was sending everyone else away to talk about some plans that could not be known to outsiders.

Motorcycle passenger transport, simply put, is motorcycle, which is very popular in China at present, not to mention Dracula Mo, which is more suitable for the development of this form of passenger transport due to traffic congestion, backward infrastructure such as roads.

Before returning to Draculamo this time, Cao Mo did not directly find out how large the drivers of Draculamo's motorcycle were, but he believed that there were definitely a lot of them, and he learned early on that most of the drivers of Draculamo's motorcycle were from the local and surrounding areas of the low-level civilians.

The chaotic city of Draculamo and the characteristics of the tribe and ethnic group at the grassroots level of Kanem determine that even if you are engaged in motorcycle passenger transportation, you need to form a gang to survive.

Cao Mo was reluctant to have anything to do with the gang forces before, not because he had a moral cleanliness fetish, but mainly because he was worried that the gang forces were too complicated, and cooperating with them was tantamount to seeking the skin of a tiger;

In addition to teaming up with Oppenheimer and the Rupert family to build a power grid, Abacha paid great attention to winning over the Ronta gang forces in Draculamo, but he couldn't find a good combination of interests, and the relationship was average.

With the change of the internal and external objective situation, Cao Mo is also gradually adjusting his thinking, and he sat down at this time to learn about the situation of the Longta gang in Draculamo, which is mainly engaged in motorcycles......
