"Mr. You're too business-minded......"

On the weekend at the end of January, Abacha, who hadn't seen him for a while, suddenly appeared at Draculamo, parked the Grand Cherokee in front of the villa, and warmly walked in to hug Cao Mo and praise him loudly.

Yang Deshan, Guo Jian, and Song Yuqing are still busy with the handover and operation of the crushing plant, some processes have not been completely straightened out, and there is a period of time when they are in a hurry, and then the crushing plant has to put on a new production line, and there is no way to stop in a short time.

The temperature was a little cooler today, but Cao Mo didn't go to the office in his spare time, and hid in the dormitory alone to read, which frightened Abacha's enthusiasm.

At the end of January, the daily sales of vegetables on the farm exceeded 1,000 US dollars, and Cao Mo settled the accounts for Abacha and Ojosan once a week according to local rules.

Cao Mo has the highest interest in the farm, reaching 60%, and initially he also promised to contribute no less than 60,000 US dollars, deducting the 30,000 US dollars that had been invested in the early stage, but he needs to share the profits at this time, and continue to invest in the development and operation of the farm, so as to achieve his initial commitment.

Abacha and Ojosan have already fulfilled their investment commitments with agricultural equipment and land, and naturally they will take their fair share of profits every week.

Such a small-scale farm has only officially supplied vegetables to the outside world for half a month, and there are thousands of dollars in dividends every week, and Abacha is of course overjoyed.

Abacha was born into the Sika family, but his relationship with the family was not harmonious, and it was only after he was elected to the municipal council that he was able to obtain some of the family's resources, but it was limited.

If the farm can have a stable dividend of thousands of dollars a week, it is also a very important source of income for Abacha.

"It's a pity that it won't last long,"

Cao Mo didn't want to attack Abacha, but he didn't want to see Abacha's enthusiasm at this time, and when he saw the farm's income drop sharply, he would suspect what he was doing inside.

Cao Mo felt that there were some things that it was necessary to make it clear to Abacha now,

"As the supply increases, the next step is to consider trucking to Draculamo. Kanem is so hot that even if the vegetables are loaded at dusk, detoured from Catro at night, and delivered to various Chinese restaurants in Draculamo and Yue City in the early morning, the vegetables will be stuffed in the truck for seven or eight hours, and the quality will be much worse. Now the supply is in short supply, and there are no options for Chinese restaurants and supermarkets, so we will not feel any big impact from this. However, as long as someone does the same and rents land on the outskirts of Draculamo to grow vegetables, we don't reduce the price significantly, and the sparse vegetables that are not fresh enough will soon be driven out of the market, and the overall profit margin will definitely drop significantly. ”

"Then we can also rent a piece of land on the outskirts of the city to grow vegetables, right?" said Abacha, "It is not a hassle to rent a piece of land in Draculamo." ”

"You said that renting land on the outskirts of Draculamo is not a troublesome thing, and now we have a new lease of land, and others will follow suit faster, and fierce competition will come sooner. Draculamo's Chinese restaurants and supermarkets are still quite limited, and in the end, they can only quickly make everyone's food unsellable. Cao Mo said.

"Not that exaggerated, right?" said Adaka incredulously.

"You don't know the Chinese's ability to imitate, professionally speaking, the replication ability of this business model, the Chinese say that the world is second, no country can say first, the Chinese are particularly hardworking! Probably the Jews, can compare with the Chinese business acumen, hard-working. Cao Mo smacked his lips and said.

"What then?" asked Abacha, a little flustered.

Before he came to Cao Mo to celebrate, he was still full of thoughts about the expected annual income of 60,000 or 70,000 US dollars, and he poured cold water on his head when he didn't expect to see Cao Mo.

Although he is a high-ranking county official and older than Cao Mo, when it comes to business vision, after contact, he feels that he is still inferior to Cao Mo.

"At present, we can be optimistic for three to five months, but when new vegetable farms appear near Draculamo, and there is no road from Lung Ta to Draculamo that can be used by delivery trucks, we should not only supply as little as possible by motorcycle, but now we should encourage Chinese businessmen to open Chinese restaurants in Lung Ta town, and promote these delicious vegetables to the upper class of Lung Ta, and the effect should be better. Cao Mo said.

Cao Mo expects to enjoy the benefits of three or five months, not only can his investment cost be fully recovered, but also the 1,000 acres of farmland in the early stage of the farm can be fully reclaimed, and then he can promote the technology to the surrounding farmers, which can be regarded as a complete thing.

Of course, if you consider that the farm will have relatively stable profits in the future, Cao Mo has also considered it.

Although the economic development of Longta is extremely backward, there are also many wealthy people like the Sika family, and two or three Chinese restaurants can be popular in Longta, and then they can provide planting vegetables to large households like the Sika family at designated points, stabilize sales, and the profits will not decline too much.

However, farming is unlikely to become a profiteering industry in any country.

If you really want to make big profits, you can only rely on more rigorous technology, management and scale to win - although the palm plantations in the Lunta area are rare and valuable economies of scale in the local area, the annual income of 1,000 hectares of plantations is only 500,000 US dollars.

This is without deducting the cost of local workers, agricultural equipment and various material losses, and the real profit will be significantly reduced every year.

"Then let's look at one step at a time. Abacha couldn't help but say with some disappointment, took out a delicate Montblanc wallet from his pocket, opened it and handed a piece of paper to Cao Mo, and said, "This is your reward......

Cao Mo took it and looked at it, but it was a check for $80,000, and she was startled, and it took a while to realize that this should be the return given to little Tubman after he recently received the final payment for the acquisition of the crushing plant.

Although Cao Mo didn't expect him to get this money before, it was really enough for Abacha to give him this check.

At the beginning of 05, the renminbi appreciated for a while, but the exchange rate against the US dollar remained at about 1:8. $80,000 is 640,000 RMB, which is equivalent to the price of a brand new excavator.

Cao Mo subconsciously wanted to put the check in his pocket, but after hesitating for a while, he looked at Abacha and said, "The stream to the north of Tubman Manor, and the small river to the south of the Sika family, it should not cost too much to build two cement bridges that can carry ten-ton trucks through. Can I ask Mr. Tubman Jr., in the name of the Tubman family, to donate the $80,000 to the municipality of the Lunta area for the construction of these two bridges......

"You're stupid...... aren't you?" exclaimed Abacha, frowning.

If Cao Mo is a billionaire and leaks out of his fingers to do public welfare, he can still win a good fortune - Abacha knows the most about the cooperation between Cao Mo and the Felician family, and he also knows what the Ibogu gold mine looks like, so he can't understand how Cao Mo took out this money to play noble sentiments.

"As I told you earlier, because there are no bridges, it is very problematic to transport five or six tons of fresh vegetables from Ibogu to Draculamo every day, and there will be at least five or six hours of delay on the way. Kanem doesn't have cool weather, there is no preservation technology for transportation, and the extra five or six hours of delay on the road is quite critical to the freshness of the vegetables, not to mention the meat. If the $80,000 can be used to build the road, Ipogu Farm alone will help me make more money. Why do I have to put this money in my own pocket, but I seem stingy and greedy for money?" Cao Mo asked rhetorically.

"Are you sure you can make more money?" Abacha asked, hesitantly.

Kanem ended his military rule only two years ago, and with the exception of the descendants of the colonizers, the whole society has not yet completely shifted to economic construction.

Abacha is definitely a knowledgeable elite in the local area, but his business and economic thinking is not as good as Cao Mo, who grew up in an open-minded and economic development priority environment since he was a child.

"If nothing else, the nearly 2,000 tons of palm oil that the Sika family plantation can produce every year will be shipped and exported by circumnavigating the Cadero to the port of Draculamo, and the extra 200 kilometers will be wasted. Poultry. I'm now asking Tubman Jr. to donate the $80,000 to the city department in Lonta, and I feel at ease that my hands don't have to be stained with anything, and I seem to be very moral, but it may only take a year or two for the $80,000 to come back into my pocket. In our China, there is an old saying that to gather wealth, you must first learn to disperse wealth......"

"I really admire you Chinese......" Abacha shook his head, not knowing what to say about Cao Mo's theory for a while.

His intuition told Cao Mo that Abacha had begun to waver, and he continued to say step by step: "My money alone may not be enough, but donating in the name of the Tubman family, if you come to advocate for this matter, you can find a beneficiary plantation to share a part of the donation, which should help you really establish your reputation in the Longta area." ”

"Aren't you just trying to trick me into taking out my share?" Abacha gritted his teeth and hesitated for a long time, but he still took out the check for $80,000 that belonged to him from his wallet, slapped it on the table, and said, "With these 160,000 dollars, I should be able to barely build the road in Ibogu Village......

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

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

"What, Abacha, what medicine are you taking?"

In the Tubman family's mansion on Salt Lake Island, little Tubman looked at the two checks on the marble coffee table and asked in surprise.

The Lonta region is backward, as the old capital and commercial capital of Kanem, Draculamo has a strong commercial atmosphere, and Abacha and Cao Mo secretly brokered the acquisition transaction, and the Tubman family paid a certain percentage of the return, which is a matter of course in Draculamo.

Besides, Abacha was at ease when he took the check from him, but he didn't expect that only a few hours later, Abacha pulled Cao Mo to send the check back.

Abacha also asked him to donate the two cheques to the Lunta Municipal Council in the name of the Tubman family, and then build two concrete bridges in the name of the Tubman family between Lunta and the northern suburbs of Draculamo to connect the two places.

Little Tubman, of course, didn't care, he gave the two checks according to the rules, and he didn't think about taking them back.

If it is donated to the Lonta City Council in the name of the Tubman family, it will still earn the Tubman family a good reputation, but the question is whether Abacha is crazy?

Or is it that Abacha's personal wealth is so much that he doesn't care about the $80,000?

"After President Buhari was elected, he repeatedly stated that he would crack down on corruption, but he met with many obstacles, and the Federal Assembly is even pushing for a bill to exempt parliamentarians from corruption investigations - since I aspire to enter politics and am a patriotic construction front, I can no longer have such a stain, and I ask for your understanding. I had accepted these two cheques and thought that I would donate them directly to the Lonta City Council, but after meeting Mr. Cao, I thought about donating the money in the name of the Tubman family, and it was more justified to change the name. Abacha said solemnly.

If it weren't for all of Cao Mo's persuasion of him, Cao Mo would almost believe that Abacha's words were true, and the eyes of little Tubman would have changed when he looked at him.

"It's already your money, and since you've decided to spend it like this, I have no opinion. Tubman Jr. shrugged his shoulders and showed respect for Abacha's opinion.

"Squeak!"

The door of the small hall leading to the large solitary living room was pushed open at this time, and Cao Mo turned her head to see little Tubman's sister Starry, wearing a local dyed cloth long skirt and walking in, longer and more delicate and bright.

She saw the two checks on the coffee table, and at first she didn't understand what was going on, so she arrogantly took them over and looked at them, and instantly figured out what was going on when she saw the numbers on them, glanced at Cao Mo, threw down the checks, and was about to go upstairs.

Don't need sensitive intuition, the disdain in the girl's beautiful eyes is too obvious, Cao Mo cried out in her heart: Nima, Lao Tzu is walking right, sitting up straight, and persuading Abacha to come over and return the check with a breeze on his sleeves is definitely not the one you think of who secretly helped the Tubman family raise the price of the Dongsheng Group!

"Starry," said little Tubman, pointing to the two checks on the coffee table, "these two checks are the family's payment to Mr. Abacha for helping to broker the acquisition, but Mr. Abacha is of good character, and I hope that in the name of our family, we can donate this money to the Lonta City Council for the construction of the road and bridge from Lonta to Lunta—I may not have time to do this lately, Stari, you should do something for the family too." ”

Seeing Stari's eyes looking at Abacha, from hesitation and confusion to surprise, and Abacha also straightened his chest to meet Stari's gaze, Cao Mo really wanted to kick Abacha to the ground, and then grabbed Stari's collar and yelled: Mad's next door, the ignorant girl, the moral person is here!

Cao Mo kept a generous smile full of bitterness, thinking that sometimes it was really not a good thing to be too reckless.
