Chapter 144: Conflict
For Chinese businessmen, who are mainly engaged in small and medium-sized trade, the difficulties suffered in Draculamo are not only faced with an increasingly bad law and order environment for Chinese businessmen, but also the unfriendly extortion of local law enforcement agencies.
Dongsheng does not have this problem, mainly because Dongsheng's investment in Kanem is very large, and at the same time, it has attracted the attention of high-level figures in China and Qatar.
Small and medium-sized investors do not have this treatment, and it is difficult to have access to form a stable and equal interest relationship with the political leaders and upper class of Kanem.
However, at this time, no one can deny that the construction of hydropower stations is an excellent opportunity.
"If we can, we will raise funds to build a medium-sized hydropower station, which will also be easier to manage in the future," Xie Sipeng asked.
"There are two more," Cao Mo said, "one in the eastern part of Longta, near the territory of Cassiga, and the other in the north-central part of Longta, about five kilometers from the town of Longta, and the hydropower stations that can be built can generate more electricity per year than Yeyang Gorge, and some small stepped hydropower stations can be built upstream and downstream to make more full use." However, if that were the case, I would suggest that a trust fund could be set up under the Union Bank of Oman to do this, which would give it an extra layer of protection in the future......"
"This is a solution, I will contact it in the next two days to see how many people have this will. Xie Sipeng said.
Although small and medium-sized traders are used to going it alone, they may not be unable to try.
When several overseas employees who still insisted on working in the office today, including the newly appointed financial director Zhao Ling, also rushed over by car, Cao Mo and the others left the beach and walked to the open-air barbecue restaurant on the side of the coconut grove.
But I don't want Taihua's people to be here today to pick up the wind and wash the dust for Lu Yan.
No matter how you calculate behind your back, you still maintain a harmonious atmosphere on the face of Draculamo, don't you?
Zhou Han still has to live in their staff dormitory, right?
In this way, the ordinary employees on both sides sat at a table, and Cao Mo, Abacha and Xie Sipeng, Yang Deshan, Li Qixi, and Zhao Ling joined Lu Yan, Huang Hebin, Yao Haiming, and Zhou Han to a long table to drink and chat.
Cao Mo and Xie Sipeng tried in every possible way to twist the Chinese businessmen of Dracula into a force, and characters like Huang Hebin naturally had the same idea, and they directly put it forward at the dinner table:
"I just want to meet with Mr. Xie and Mr. Yang today to talk about the establishment of the Chinese Entrepreneurs Association in Dracula Mo - I have been working in Dracula for half a year, and I found that Chinese businessmen are still oppressed here, and even suffered theft and robbery, many people dare not report the case, for fear that they will not be able to recover their losses, and they will be extorted by the police again. If we want to change this, we must come together. Lu Shao officially took up his post in Taihua's West Africa branch today, and we just talked about this, and Lu Shao also said that this matter should be sooner rather than later......"
If Taihua hadn't participated in that kind of business, Cao Mo would have been the first to stand up and agree with Huang Hebin's words, and fully support him to do this well, but whether it is Huang Hebin or Lu Yan, including Lu Jianchao whom they saw before, they are all characters who are above the top, and they usually don't take those Chinese businessmen who do small and medium-sized trade in their eyes, and they are in a hurry to jump out to prepare for the Chinese Entrepreneurs Association at this time, which is nothing more than to prevent them from being exposed, and they can use the Chinese Entrepreneurs Association as a shield.
In that case, things get tricky.
Cao Mo frowned, before returning to Draculamo, he didn't expect Huang Hebin and them to have such an idea, it was too unexpected for him!
Cao Mo glanced at Xie Sipeng and Yang Deshan, and saw that their reactions were quite cold, and it was obvious that these two old rivers and lakes were clear in their hearts.
"I'd like to ask the group for advice. Of course, Yang Deshan will not openly contradict the people of Taihua, and directly pull out the group headquarters as a shield.
"Hehe, I was recently dragged by Lao Yang to run the Long Tower, and Draculamo is a little careless. Xie Sipeng squinted his eyes and said with a smile.
Cao Mo sat there silently and did not speak.
Not only will he not support Taihua to set up this Chinese business association, but he even has to discuss with Xie Sipeng and Yang Deshan how to quietly break this matter.
If they really want to let Taihua engage in this Chinese business association, and even when their case is discovered, it will be thrown out as a shield, and then the Chinese businessmen in Draculamo and other areas of Kanem will cause a strong public opinion backlash, and may even become the target of public criticism.
The question is that Xie Sipeng and Yang Deshan can realize that it is problematic for Taihua to set up such a Chinese business association in Draculamo, but Taihua must do it, will they strongly oppose it, or will they be desperate to stop it?
On this point, Cao Mo was deeply skeptical.
These two people have cooperated with him a lot now, but in essence, they are still old slippery heads, bullying the weak and fearing the strong, and they can't be expected to stand up firmly against Taihua messing around like this.
Seeing that Yang Deshan and Xie Sipeng reacted coldly, Huang Hebin was not angry.
He met Yang and Xie on this occasion today, and threw out the words, mainly with the intention of testing.
Yang Deshan and Xie Sipeng had long guessed that they were secretly cooperating with the Jidam family, how could they expect them to agree at once.
The work needs to be done slowly.
Lu Yan does not have the city government and patience like Huang Hebin.
On the way back to the city after getting off the plane, he heard Huang Hebin mention this, and thought that Xie Sipeng and Yang Deshan would definitely support it, and even proudly said in front of Zhou Han that he came over this time, and other things could not help much, but he wanted to take the title of the president of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce and make some efforts for Taihua and the Lu family.
He didn't expect Yang Deshan and Xie Sipeng to be stingy with even perfunctory words, and suddenly his face was a little unbearable, and his face was dark, which was very ugly.
"Drink, drink - after dinner, let's go next door to play two," Huang Hebin played a round game, and Cao Mo smiled and said, "Everyone says that Manager Cao's card skills are very smart, I have only had the opportunity to see once, and I haven't deeply understood it, today Manager Cao wants to let me go!"
Huang Hebin is a person who understands.
He knew that Taihua didn't need to look at Dongsheng's face, and Dongsheng didn't need to look at Taihua's face, and Xie Sipeng had obviously already stood on Dongsheng's side.
At this time, it is useless for them to put on a face, and they have to do their work both hard and soft.
"It took more than 30 hours to arrive at Draculamo, if it weren't for Mr. Yang and Mr. Xie dragging me over, I would have been lying on the bed to make up for sleep now, and Mr. Huang begged to let it go. Cao Mo couldn't give Huang Hebin a chance to grind both hard and soft, although he didn't fall down his face, he also gave his hand and resigned directly.
"It's rare for us Lu Shao to be interested, Manager Cao will give face. Huang Hebin, a Taihua employee next to him, noticed that Lu Yan's face had become ugly at this time, and seeing that Cao Mo was not interested in such a role, he stood up and persuaded him.
"Lu Shao is first-class, I really can't bear it if I don't delay resting along the way," Cao Mo smiled and glanced at Lu Yan, who couldn't hold his face, and refused again and again, with a resolute attitude, "Even if Lu Shao sends me money today, I don't have the strength to win!"
"Is Manager Cao really not giving face?" The Taihua employee picked up the wine glass, walked around to Cao Mo, and said with some menacing, "I salute Manager Cao for this glass of wine, but please Manager Cao must give me Shao Zhigang a face today and play with us Lu Shao?"
The Taihua employee drank a full glass of red wine in one gulp, and then held the wine glass downward with one hand, indicating that there was no wine left, and pressed Cao Mo's shoulder with one hand to make sure he agreed.
"Mr. Huang, is this the style of your Taihua employees?" Cao Mo looked at Huang Hebin and asked unhappily.
"Don't talk about us Mr. Huang, this is a matter between me and you. I'll just ask Manager Cao, will you give me this face today?" The employee grabbed Cao Mo's shoulder, his eyes were a little unkind, and his face was full of gangsterism, he didn't believe that he couldn't cure a young man in Dongsheng.
However, without waiting for Xie Sipeng and Yang Deshan to play a round, Cao Mo stood up, picked up the empty wine glass just now, picked up half a bottle of red wine on the table, and poured half a glass: "Do I have to drink this glass of wine today?"
"Haha, that's it, don't toast or drink the penalty wine - you drank this glass of wine, accompany us Lu Shao to play a couple of games, and I Shao Zhigang will treat you as a friend. Taihua employees laughed.
"Drink your mother's toast, what the fuck did you Bilian tell me this?" Cao Mo splashed the red wine in the cup on his face, and then grabbed the wine bottle and smashed it hard on the skull of the two goods.
Cao Mo didn't want to hurt anyone, so he smashed on the hardest side of his skull, but his strength was also sufficient, and the wine bottle of half a bottle of wine was suddenly shattered, and the wine splashed on the person's face, and it was impossible to see if his head was smashed.
Cao Mo stared at the man coldly and scolded:
"Mr. Huang and Lu Shao respect my glass of wine, I still think about it, what kind of fucking green onion are you, and you don't look at your blue face, you really think you are qualified to talk to me like this!
"Fuck you!"
Cao Mo saw that the kid's face was covered with blood, and he even showed a fierce look in his eyes and roared like a beast to pounce, so he raised his foot and kicked him quickly and fiercely in the stomach, kicking him a dog to eat.
Cao Mo threw away the half-broken wine bottle in his hand, stared at Huang Hebin and said:
"This is the quality of your Taihua employees? Taihua has such garbage employees, if you are still qualified to stay in Draculamo to eat, I can't care if there is anything to happen to Taihua in the future. I brokered the power supply agreement for the Fellithian family power company to the Taihua Industrial Park, and I am very skeptical of making such a suggestion to the Fellisien family in the first place, and I would advise Mr. Ojosan to consider it carefully!
Others brought the driver's bodyguard over for dinner, and they all asked the driver's bodyguard to wait in the car outside, but Cao Mo treated Ade and Oulu as regular employees in the company and let them come in to dine with the employees of the branch.
The man ran over to provoke Cao Mo, speaking in Chinese, and Ade and Oulu had not yet been able to react, but when they saw Cao Mo making a move, they immediately pressed the pistol on their waists and rushed over to protect Cao Mo behind them.
How could the people brought by Huang Hebin and Yao Haiming to engage in behind-the-scenes transactions with the Jidam family be serious? They are used to relying on the background of the Lu family in China, and they all have a fierce energy, not to mention that Lu Yan is present today, and they don't want to weaken their momentum, so the man picked up a folding stool and wanted to rush up.
Ade protected Cao Mo and did not move.
Oulu kicked the man in the waist with a whip kick, and immediately kicked him to the ground, and then stepped forward and stepped on one of his arms, and put his knee against his neck, and one hand held his neck to death, and the other hand continued to hold the pistol at his waist, and warned in English:
"If you try to attack Mr. Cao again, we will use guns against you!"
