Chapter 280: Morning Rising
In his sleep, Cao Mo felt that his nose was a little itchy, and he still itched after scratching it a few times, and when he opened his eyes reluctantly, he saw Jiaying scratching his nose with a leaf stalk that he didn't know where to come in.
"Early in the morning, why are you getting up so early?" Cao Mo said.
"It's past eight o'clock, and Sister Cheng Xi has already set off from home, Aunt Rong also called just now, saying that Han Shuyun agreed to accompany me to visit the 4S store today, and I will drive her over in a while," Jiaying said, "Brother, why do we have to fight in front of Han Shuyun today, right?"
"What's wrong with Han Shuyun, what's the matter, she's a bad girl now!" Cao Mo pulled up the quilt, covered her head and prepared to continue sleeping.
"If she lives with us, would you like to see her stinky face all day long, as if we were plotting against Aunt Rong's family property from beginning to end?"
"Our dad and Aunt Rong have come this far?" Cao Mo asked.
"I don't know if you're not in the country, there have been several times when you have eaten and gone out to play, and Aunt Rong has pulled the reluctant Han Shuyun over, don't you just want to see if she can get along with us? Think about it, there are so many famous schools abroad, Han Shuyun closed his eyes and picked it, why did Han Shaorong have to send his daughter back to Xinhai, there must be a purpose behind this, right? Otherwise, do you think I really want to deceive you about a good car?"
"If you can be more serious, I'll believe it. Cao Mo smiled.
"Brother, I'm annoying, I'll tell you seriously!" Jia Ying exclaimed coquettishly.
"Don't think about whether you can suppress anyone's arrogance, if you can solve it with a car, Han Shuyun won't be a problem at all-"
Han Shuyun resisted her mother and his father getting together, and Cao Mo could understand it, but Han Shuyun awarded Han Shaorong when Chen Rong and Han Shaorong divorced, and Han Shaorong has been watching it all these years.
And Han Shuyun is eighteen years old this year, and he is also studying at Xinhai University, Cao Mo doesn't know how much Chen Rong and his father really get together, how much they will have to do with Han Shuyun, let Jiaying toss these things less, and said,
"Did you write the paper I asked you to write this month? If you finish writing, you will have 400,000 car purchase funds!"
"I just started my first semester in college, you can't squeeze me like this," Jiaying cried bitterly, "You are a cute and beautiful sister, are you really willing to squeeze me so much?"
"If I don't squeeze you, who am I squeezing?" Cao Mo said while knocking on Jiaying's brain.
Cao Mo has not forgotten to study in the past few years, and grasped the leisure time he can squeeze out to improve himself, but what he is good at is still related to his ability to perceive people's hearts almost telepathically.
This ability enables him to analyze people's hearts accurately, so that he can sort out all kinds of intricate situations.
However, when it comes to specific industrial development and a higher perspective to understand macro political and economic development, he is actually still very lacking, lacking systematic study and research.
cooperated with Yang Deshan and Shen Ji, Cao Mo made up for it to a certain extent, but Yang Deshan has his life and professional experience, and Shen Ji has his educational background, so Cao Mo can't completely match them.
Sometimes he wanted to analyze some problems at a deeper level, but his own energy was limited, so he threw these questions to Jiaying, asked her to strive to write a review paper every month, and promised to reward her with 100,000 yuan for each article she wrote.
His father mortgaged the family's old house and increased the registered capital of the Wood Elephant B&B to five million, which is currently operating well and is developing steadily, but whether it is scale or development speed, compared to what he did in West Africa at this time, this is already a small thing.
However, Cao Mo didn't want to get involved anymore, after all, it was his father's own business.
Cao Mo also didn't want Jiaying to be too deeply involved in the operation of Wood Elephant B&B, nor did she want her to start a business too early.
To put it bluntly, there are not many industries in China that can successfully start a business and develop a considerable scale from a reckless background.
Even in the field of homestays and short-term rental apartments, it seems that the threshold is very low, but the threshold is not high, and there are many competitors who have entered.
Cao Mo himself wanted to extend the industrial chain to China, and the original intention of establishing Conero Foods was also to facilitate the transfer and reserve funds, but even if there was relatively sufficient capital and stable upstream capital, he really wanted to expand the domestic market scale in a short period of time, but he had to introduce Dongsheng's participation.
However, Conero food also has bottlenecks.
On the one hand, Europe and the United States, as today's largest, per capita consumption may be fifty or sixty times that of China's cocoa butter and cocoa powder consumer market, has long been occupied by international food giants, Conero Foods can not be squeezed into it temporarily, and at the same time, the domestic consumer market is expanding day by day, Conero Foods has to face the competition of international food giants.
At present, after the introduction of Dongsheng shares, the profit in the first month is very impressive, but this is directly related to the turbulent commodity market in recent years.
The market price of cocoa butter and cocoa powder has more than doubled in the past two years, and Conero Foods has opened up the upstream and downstream of this industrial chain, and it is not normal to have such a high profit return.
However, the commodity market is cyclical, and when the market price falls, the profit margin of Conero Foods will inevitably be suppressed, and the scale will not go up at that time, and it will only make a few hard-earned money.
As the main business, the market for finished cement is limited to West Africa, and even benefits from the protection of long distances, so that Conero Cement can avoid direct competition from domestic and foreign cement giants.
Gold mining is also limited to West Africa, leaving West Africa, there is no possibility of taking mines for the time being.
How to expand industrial investment in China in the future, Cao Mo himself does not have a good idea, but fortunately, he does not need to think about this matter for the time being, but for the sake of the future
In terms of thinking, he hopes that Jiaying can get learning outside the system.
Jiaying must take over the business side, the Jidam family is about to collapse, and the entrepreneurial projects that Stari previously engaged in in the name of the West and Central Africa Entrepreneurship Association can be called Jiaying to try to take over in the Xinhai part.
Anyway, most of them are projects to test the waters, and the slightly valuable palm e-commerce website is currently only in the initial stage, but I am not afraid that these projects will be used to pay tuition for Jiaying;
Of course, when she came back this time, Cao Mo also wanted to have a good chat with Jiaying to see what she thought.
Lily, by contrast, was not very interested in business things, and had been drinking last night, and she was still talking with great interest about waiting for a year of language proficiency to get through and then go to study literature at New Sea University.
Ojosan is very open-minded and does not interfere with Lily's choices, and Cao Mo can't say anything by pointing fingers.
"You should honestly buy a scooter now," Cao Mo rubbed Jiaying's brain and said, "Now buy you a supercar, where do you park? Park on the side of the street every night, you are not afraid of being smashed?"
His house has a patio yard in front and back, and it is very comfortable to live in, but there is no garage, and the neighbors can only grab temporary parking spaces on the street every day.
The main entrance of No. 118 Tianzifang is facing the main street where vehicles are prohibited from entering and leaving, and the back patio is the Qingtang River, and there is not even a temporary parking place.
Cao Mo's plan is to buy an ordinary scooter for Jiaying, and he doesn't have to worry about being scratched by an angry young man who hates the rich at night when he parks on the street, so he can buy a motorcycle that can be parked directly in the courtyard yard in China.

"Didi!" There was a sound of horns downstairs, Jiaying stood up happily and said, "It must be Sister Chengxi who has arrived, you have been rambling so much, and you haven't gotten up!"
Cao Mo put on her clothes, pushed open the window and saw that Cheng Xi's red Mercedes-Benz coupe that was confiscated by her mother drove out again and stopped at the door of his yard.
He saw Cheng Xi enter the yard and asked curiously, "Didn't your mother say that she wouldn't let you touch this car?"
"Ha, I went home yesterday and said that you bragged at the wine table that you made millions a year in Africa, and today you are going to pull me to pick a good car for Jiaying. My mother was probably afraid that I was too naïve and ignorant and might have been deceived by you, so she drove me this car again!" Cheng Xi raised his bright little face and turned the car key in his hand triumphantly.
"Why are you all trying to use me?" Cao Mo shouted.
"Waste utilization!" Cheng Xi chuckled, "You should be happy, otherwise what can you use it for?"
"Where's your Corolla, is it empty?" Cao Mo said.
"Drive it for my dad - my dad's unit bus reform, and his deputy director doesn't have a special car," Cheng Xi said, "You don't want to fool Jiaying with my Corolla, do you?"
"He dares!" shouted Jiaying.
"Am I the one who slams the door like this?" Cao Mo said with a smile.
