Chapter 67: Meeting
Cao Mo did not come over to receive him, and the next morning, he took Ade and Oulu with him to meet Kabuja, who had rushed back to Draculamo in the morning, and went to the equipment dealer to discuss the rock gold mining equipment.
Needless to say, Yang Deshan, Guo Jian, Song Yuqing, Wang Jianzhong, and Wang Wen are all Xinhai people, and Liang Siqian, the construction manager of the China Earth Group, and Mo Wenjun, the general manager of the China Business Center, are all Xinhai people.
This is directly related to the domestic aid to Africa that began in the 60s, mainly from Xinhai City to send personnel to Kanem for assistance.
Predecessors took root and grew vines, and later generations expanded along this vine - even the country's expansion of the number of students enrolled in Kanem in recent years is mainly accepted by colleges and universities in Xinhai City.
Yan Zhicheng, the owner of Jinyuan Casino, is also a native of Xinhai.
In the early 80s, he intended to smuggle himself into Italy, but he was accidentally sent to Draculamo, mainly because in the early years, only the port of Xinhai in China had maritime transportation with Draculamo, and there must have been a mistake in one of the links, and the container that was originally shipped to Italy was finally loaded onto the cargo ship bound for Draculamo.
The equipment agent contacted by Cao Mo, the boss Cao Tianqiang, is also a native of Xinhai, and Cao Mo discussed his ancestors and recognized his ancestors, pushing forward five or six generations, and they may still be on a genealogy;
Cao Tianqiang was a salesperson of Xinhai Heavy Industries earlier, and was stationed in Draculamo in the mid-nineties, first working on behalf of the company for two years, and then similar to internal entrepreneurship, he contracted the sales of Xinhai Heavy Industries Group in Kanem and became his own boss.
Cao Mo wants to get a complete set of mining equipment, first to pay a deposit of 50% of the full amount, and after the equipment enters the customs at Draculamore, he will have to pay 40% of the payment, and the remaining 10% will be paid after the equipment is installed and commissioned.
Cao Mo wanted to arrange someone to receive a three-month training on equipment installation and maintenance in advance, but Cao Tianqiang asked to pay the training fee according to the standard after paying the equipment deposit.
Where can Cao Mo get seven or eight hundred thousand dollars in cash now?
The daily payment for cement sales is not low, and the farm and gold mine have a steady stream of cash, but in addition to the construction of the cement plant's front-end process, the purchase of reserve raw materials, daily material consumption, personnel wages (this can be crossed out) and regular payment for the construction of hydropower stations, at least in the next month, Cao Mo's funds are tight.
Even if it's $300,000, he can't squeeze it out now.
He sat in the office of the Xinhai Mining Equipment Sales Company for a long time, failed to talk about anything, and left with Kabuja in a depressed mood.
At present, the Yibogu gold mine only relies on the existing equipment to mine rock gold, which greatly increases the difficulty of the operation and reduces the efficiency, and the daily amount of rock gold mining can only offset this part of the cost.
However, Cao Mo did not stop rock gold mining, and continued to let Botu and a team of workers maintain rock gold mining operations, explore and accumulate relevant experience.
However, there are no senior technical personnel, there is no corresponding equipment investment, so a group of workers who only receive local secondary education and five or six months of night school vocational training are asked to explore and summarize the technical experience of mining rock gold in the mine, and only then can the level be truly improved?
Kabuja is currently qualified to be in charge of gold mining, but the current mining operations are mainly the simplest gold placer panning, and the management process in all aspects is very simple.
When the complete set of equipment is really used to mine rock gold, material procurement and warehousing, operation and production, safety management and personnel division of labor will be doubly complicated, and it is necessary to ensure high enough efficiency, whether Kabuja can cope with it, Cao Mo has no idea in his heart.
At present, the management and technical personnel he has brought in from the outside are mainly teachers and graduates of Oyo State College, which is recommended by Ojosan.
This group of people has a certain theoretical level, but the practical work experience is limited, and the number of people is not particularly sufficient, so it takes a period of time to adapt.
Oyo State College looks similar to domestic colleges and universities, but when it comes to the level of production, education and research, there is still a certain gap compared with domestic colleges and universities, let alone with key domestic universities.
Whether to be ruthless or not, recruit management technicians from China with high salaries, Cao Mo has not yet made up his mind.
In addition to the high salary cost, another is to recruit these people from China, how to make them cooperate harmoniously with Kabuja, Lucy, and Wendy Scalfe, Cao Mo didn't think about it thoroughly, and then thought that Song Yuqing would meet her husband Zhou Jun today, which made him upset.
After talking about things from the equipment company, Cao Mo did not go back to the dormitory, nor did he go back to Ibogu, at ten o'clock in the morning, he and Kabuja found a restaurant to have a casual meal, and then walked into the Jinyuan Casino.
As usual, Cao Mo exchanged a hundred dollars in chips and sat down at the Texas Hold'em table in the corner of the hall, and Kabuja sat with relish to watch Cao Mo play as usual.
In the two-dollar one-bet entertainment game, Cao Mo continued to maintain a tight hand flow style, and two acquaintances at the card table joked that the wealth he made during this time must have been lost in the belly of a black girl.
This kind of gameplay helps Cao Mo calm down, release his impetuous emotions, and think about things deeply.
Today's luck is quite good, the players at the table are scattered, and I don't know how long it has been, Cao Mo has accumulated four hundred dollars in chips at the table.
Hearing that Kabuja's stomach began to rumble beside him, Cao Mo put away his chips, turned his head and smiled at Kabuja: "It's only what time, you're hungry." Okay, the money we won today is enough to treat everyone to a big meal, let's go pick up Steya first - there shouldn't be any need for Steya to work in the branch dormitory today......"
Before Cao Mo could get up, the door of the hall opened, and a dry hot air rushed in.
The vast majority of gamblers are staring at their hole cards, the chips on the table, or pretending to look at their opponents, and some of them have just been defeated by their opponents, and are patiently waiting for the start of a new round of gambling, looking around boredly, and at this time they are attracted by the group of people who have walked into the hall.
In the group of people who just entered, there were a few middle-aged people who were still wearing neat and clean high-end shirts and trousers on a hot night, and their bearing was extraordinary, but they were obviously only escorts.
The two men and two women in the front of the four young people, dressed casually, looked at everything in the hall leisurely, and were surrounded by other people in the middle, so that they really looked extraordinary.
"This is Draculamore's casino, isn't it shabby!" A thin-faced young man in the center looked at the hall with disappointment.
The thin-faced young man commented on the casino in front of him while habitually rubbing his delicate platinum cufflinks.
It was nowhere near the casinos he had seen in Macau or Las Vegas, and it didn't even deserve to carry his shoes—most of the gamblers in the hall were casually dressed, and the thin-faced young man's silver and white shirts, his straight-pressed trousers, and his brown three-button monk shoes with shiny stirrups were out of place.
The girl standing next to the thin-faced young man is about twenty-five or sixteen years old, maybe the actual age is still younger, but the girl is really gorgeous and sexy, giving people the illusion of more maturity.
In Draculamo, a woman with fair and smooth skin is enough to attract attention, and this girl also has a delicate face and a tall and proud figure that can definitely be called beautiful.
Compared with the delicate and fair-skinned beautiful face, the girl's tall figure may bring a stronger impact at this moment.
Light blue skinny jeans, wrapping her slender legs and plump buttocks are about to stretch out, there is a kind of elasticity that seems to have a touch of eyes, which is particularly eye-catching, light gold heels with rhinestone embellishments, revealing crystal clear ankles, and a white T-shirt with a V-neck with a low open chest, which especially shows off her turbulent round breasts and pear-shaped figure.
And it seems that the chest is too high, and the shirt is pushed up, so that between the placket and the waist of the jeans, a small piece of snow-white pink waist and lower abdomen are exposed, which makes people want to lick it.
Probably only when you see such a girl, can you figure out that "licking dog" is really an appropriate title!
This can definitely be said to be a stunning beauty even in the bustling metropolis of China, and suddenly appeared in the Chinese casino of Draculamo in West Africa on the edge of the slums, how can it not attract attention?
"It's your turn to place a bet, what are you looking at stupidly?" The gambler at the table, who was addicted to the game, noticed that there were people around him who were distracted, and urged him dissatisfiedly, but when he turned his head to look over, he could feel his heart beating violently at this moment, as if it had been destroyed by a storm.
"What's in there?"
The jeans girl sniffed Xiu's straight nose critically, her brows furrowed slightly, dissatisfied with the smoky miasma in the air and a certain sour smell that could not be concealed.
Casinos all over the world rarely have windows and clocks, which are convenient to isolate gamblers from the outside world and allow them to indulge in the exciting world, and there are no mirrors on the casinos, so that gamblers do not suddenly see their own body like a walking corpse and regret it.
Even though Jin Yuan is not a regular casino, the hall is still completely enclosed, isolated from the hot night outside.
The diesel generators in the backyard of the casino were underpowered, and the two cabinet air conditioners installed in the casino lobby were not very effective, let alone fully ventilated the hall, and there was no additional ventilation system.
It was only three or four o'clock in the afternoon, but in the closed hall, there were already two or three hundred gamblers, and seven or eight out of ten were holding cigarettes in their hands, how could the air be good?
Fortunately, the jeans girl just wanted to express her dissatisfaction, or wanted to release her charm more fully through small movements, but she did not turn away, and her complaint did not give people the slightest disgust.
The other girl who wants to look younger gives people less of a strong impact.
Maybe it's because she's younger, or maybe the girl is slender and thin, wearing beige casual pants and a lighter and darker T-shirt with a lace neckline, a white and delicate little face, and a neat ponytail, not so ostentatious, like a high school student, maybe a high school student, but if you look at it carefully, there is another quiet and profound beauty that can touch people's hearts.
The high school girl was more curious, looking at everything in the hall, as if everything in front of her was a new world for her.
Cao Mo looked up and saw Yang Deshan, Wang Jianzhong, and Song Yuqing standing behind these four young men and women, and didn't think about it, one of those two young people must be Shen Ji, deputy general manager of the Overseas Investment Division, who was solemnly greeted today, and wondered in his heart: Shouldn't they gather at the Lanadgu Hotel, why did they just go to the Jinyuan Casino?
At this time, a middle-aged beautiful woman then walked into the hall, and when she saw her, Cao Mo's head was as big as numbness, and she didn't expect that she would come to Draculamo this time, and he regretted that he didn't look at the reception list yesterday, otherwise he would have slipped out of Draculamo a long time ago!
