The sale of the family mill is a foregone conclusion, and the sale of the unfavorable mill can also ensure a stable income for the family plantation, and the girl Stari can barely accept the reality at this time.

And Abacha was so generous that he took out his remuneration to donate it to the city department of Lonta to build a road, and the innocent and enthusiastic girl was shocked, but also very happy to participate, and even felt that he was wrong to blame the "virtuous" Mr. Abacha, and felt very embarrassed about it.

Of course, in her eyes, Cao Mo is still a villain who betrays the interests of his company and runs errands for Mr. Abacha.

Sensitive intuition, so that Cao Mo can perceive the subtle changes in Starly's mood, it is not difficult to guess what she is thinking, and she is as aggrieved as a baby.

However, he can't just sit idly by.

Stari is so charming, the streets are full of chocolate-skinned, thick-lipped Draculamo, and it is so rare to find a mixed-race beauty like Stari with smooth and fair skin like milk and beautiful facial features.

Even if people don't want to see him, his tall figure, deep amber eyes, and vivid three-dimensional facial features are so delicate that he can't find a single flaw, and his delicate skin is as white as jade, and his eyes feel pleasing to the eye.

This is probably the so-called dog-licking mentality, right?

Of course, Cao Mo is mainly worried about the efficiency and ability of the municipal department of Longta, and may not be able to use the money quickly and well.

Besides, the road connecting from the ancient village of Ibo to the northern suburbs of Draculamo is not only benefiting the ancient village of Ibogu, there are several plantations and crushing factories along the way, such as the Sika family.

If this simple road can be built within a year, Cao Mo will inevitably need to carefully consider a new issue, that is, it is necessary to start thinking about building a small hydroelectric power station on the Lujiaochuan River at this time.

Low-dam small hydropower stations are very common in China, up to tens of thousands, and their investment is small, the construction difficulty and risk are low, and the construction period is also very short.

Cao Mo consulted relevant information and found that on the right tributaries of the Lujiaochuan River, it is actually very suitable for building small hydropower stations, and even many can be built.

In particular, the rainy season in Kanem is characterized by short, rapid rainstorms and large variations in water levels throughout the day, which have a significant impact on placer gold mining operations.

This negative impact can be greatly reduced during the rainy season if a low dam can be built upstream of the placer mining area on favourable terrain.

The biggest problem is that the investment in a small hydropower station with an annual power generation capacity of about five or six million kilowatt-hours in China may not require two million yuan, and the cost of building materials such as reinforced concrete in Kanem is too high, and all equipment needs to be imported.

There is also the question of how to absorb the electricity generated by the dam that has been built at a high cost, in addition to stabilizing downstream mining operations?

The construction of the power grid in Longta is too backward, and the small hydropower stations invested in the construction should not be considered to be able to generate electricity and connect to the grid in a short period of time, and sell the electricity generated to local power companies.

It can only be considered for personal use.

The Ibogu Gold Mine is mainly based on diesel-powered equipment, and the power equipment such as crushed stone sand making machines, as well as daily lighting, can be guaranteed by three sets of small diesel generators in normal times, and the addition of new equipment in the future is also limited.

If you consider a significant increase in the size of your farms, and build small hydropower plants that mainly provide electricity for irrigation, the payback period will be too long – and agriculture will end up being a low-profit industry.

Investing in an ultra-small cement manufacturing plant with an annual output of 30,000 or 40,000 tons can consume more than 3 million kilowatt-hours of electricity every year, but with this addition, the investment will increase by 4.5 million US dollars.

Cao Mo did not expect him to have cheap financing channels in Kanem.

Will the output of the Ibogu gold mine be focused on the continuous expansion of investment in the mining area, or will part of it be used to build small hydropower stations and small cement plants?

In the past, Cao Mo was not in a hurry to think about these problems, mainly because cement was produced and it was too inconvenient to sell it to Draculamo.

However, when the simple road connecting the ancient village of Ipo to Draculamo was completed, it was only convenient to transport vegetables, and for him, the efficiency was obviously seriously underutilized, and selling cement to Draculamo, where municipal construction was on the rise, was the king.

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

After agreeing to go to Longta in two days to hand over the relevant donations, they will come out of the Tubman family's mansion on Saltlake Island, Abacha will return directly to Longta, and Cao Mo will return to the dormitory.

Song Yuqing and the others were still busy in the branch office, and he called Oqiaosan, hoping that Oqiaosang could recommend two or three engineering survey and design personnel for the hydropower station and cement plant to start the preliminary work first.

Kanem's scientific and technological strength is very weak, but whether it is a small hydropower station or a small cement factory, this kind of capacity-building project at the beginning of China's liberation, Cao Mo believes that suitable professionals can still be found from Oyo State College.

Cao Mo's current investment is all about building places.

At the same time, the project occupies the land and various natural resources of the Felician family, and the Filician family can occupy a certain share of any project, even if it only takes land and various natural resources.

Naturally, Ojosan was more than willing to help.

In addition to recommending technicians to the mine, Ojosan also promoted the agronomy major of Oyo State College early on, and went to Kasiga Aid Non-Farm to learn traditional crop and vegetable cultivation techniques that are different from Kanem.

The teachers and students at Oyo State College are obviously much more receptive than the farmers in Ibogu, and after two months of internship, two graduating students have been directly recruited to work as deputy technical supervisors at Ibogu Farm.

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

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

Ojosan, who was very enthusiastic about the whole thing, called after only one day and said that he had found the right person.

In the name of purchasing vegetables and meat, Cao Mo took Ade and Oulu, drove the Mitsubishi off-road of the branch, and rushed back to Ibogu Village to meet with two technicians from Oyo State College.

Of course, it is also indispensable to pull Abachar out.

If you want to build a small hydropower station, no matter how simple the procedure is, you still need to get permission from the Lonta municipal department.

Of course, Abacha is also happy to push for this.

After President Buhari came to power, he also tried his best to improve the extremely backward situation of transportation and electricity in Kanem, and repeatedly made speeches on television to encourage the construction of more small hydropower stations in the local area.

However, except for Draculamo, which is slightly more economically developed, most of the entire country is quite backward, and even if the technology is simple and the investment is very limited, there may be more than a dozen or twenty demonstration projects under construction.

Not to mention the main channel of the Lujiaochuan River, there are many tributaries along the route, and the topography, drop and stability of the river are quite suitable for the construction of small hydropower stations.

Members of the Lonta Municipal Committee also wanted to promote the construction of small hydropower station demonstration projects, but the construction of the power grid was too backward, and there was no industry to consume electricity, so poor farmers could not afford to use expensive residential electricity and put it on hold.

The plantation owners of Longta, whose estates are scattered and use less electricity, usually use diesel generators to ensure the power supply of the family's limited personnel.

Cao Mo wants to build a small hydropower plant on a tributary of the Lujiao River upstream of the mining area, and he must also build a supporting industrial project to consume electricity, otherwise there is no chance of recovering the cost.

Now it is a delusion to build a hydropower station of the level of the Three Gorges with its own technical strength, but it is not too difficult to build a small hydropower station with a scale of only 10,000 times that of the Three Gorges.

There are even ready-made schemes, which only need to be adjusted accordingly according to the actual topography and hydrological conditions of this tributary where the mining area is located.

For a low dam of this size, there is no need to consider too many complex factors such as geological structure.

Two scholars from Oyo State College spent two days in the jungle in the northern part of the Ibogu tribe, surveyed some data, and returned directly to Catro to design the specific project.

The infrastructure team is the most well-manpowered, so Cao Mo directly asked Owema to take people and machinery to open up a simple road between the mining area and the site of the hydropower station.

The local manpower is cheap.

Even if the site is changed, or the project is difficult to start in a short period of time, it is also conducive to the development and utilization of resources by opening up an additional road deep in the jungle to the north of the Ibogu tribe.

"You're ambitious, huh?"

The donation to build the road, Abacha has not officially mentioned it to the members of the municipal committee, but he didn't expect Cao Mo to rush back to Ibogu to prepare for the hydropower plant and cement plant.

He rushed over to hunt today, and at this time he was carrying a shotgun and squatting on the side of the road to watch Cao Mo assign the task of building a simple road.

"Do you know the history of Dongsheng Group?"

Cao Mo sat on the stone and said to Abacha,

"Dongsheng Group started out as a small oil mill with only a few workers, and the rapeseed we produced there was pressed. After Dongsheng achieved a certain scale, the domestic economy developed and the demand for building materials was great, so it went on the profile production line, which was the aluminum alloy profiles mainly sold to Kanem by the West African branch at this time. Dongsheng has been developing for more than 20 years, and the current annual output value of these two projects will exceed one billion US dollars. What about our big boss, it is estimated that his net worth should be one billion dollars now, which is nothing in our country, but in Kanem, it can be compared to a few oil and mining giants in Kanem, right? Have you ever thought that one day the Sika family will become a real wealthy family with billions of dollars in assets?"

"How can Kanem have a market as big as China!" Abacha said with emotion as he was not so easy to fool.

"Not to mention the rest, with a population of tens of millions of Draculamo, this market is enough for us to eat, have you ever thought that growing vegetables can be sold for so much money?" Cao Mo said step by step.

He is a foreigner in Kanem after all, and if he doesn't want to hire a large number of technical and managerial personnel from the country, he wants to grow in Longta, and he will soon face a talent shortage.

And he is now working in the name of the Felician family, but when he invests in the construction of the Ibogu tribe, the more projects he invests in, the larger the scale, he may not be able to survive.

When the time comes, there will be more and more forces and even criminal gangs targeting him in that place.

Abacha was born in the Sika family, and at the same time, he was a rising political star in Oyo State, and more importantly, he was young enough, so Cao Mo naturally wanted to tie up his interests more deeply.

Of course, in addition to being very unhappy about showing off Stari on purpose, Cao Mo can still trust Abacha's other characters.

"Can this really work?" Abacha has been pampered since childhood, has received a higher college education, enthusiastically participated in the struggle of the Patriotic Construction Front against the rule of the military government, and then was elected as a municipal councilor in the local elections two years ago, but he is actually only twenty-six years old, and his practical work experience is not as rich as Cao Mo's, and asked a little drummer.

"Come with me!"

Cao Mo directly pulled Abacha to participate in the newly built stone house warehouse.

In addition to the use of lime, volcanic ash and other mixed shackles as a building binder, after the initial crushing of the sand making machine, although it is far from meeting the particle size requirements of the cement, the strength of the watering building structure is definitely far from enough, but it is used to paint the wall and floor, the effect is still good.

"I have sent these materials back to China to find professional institutions to test, they are all very good cement raw materials, think about it yourself, how much does a ton of cement cost Kanem? If we build a hydropower plant and build a cement plant, is it like grabbing money?" Cao Mo asked.

"That's right, the price of cement is already so high, and there are members of the federal government who are vigorously pushing for a new bill to break up the ban on cement imports, saying that it is to encourage new cement plants in Kanem to build new cement plants in China. Abacha said.

Hearing Abacha mention this, Cao Mo couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Are you telling the truth?"

"I'm a veteran member of the Patriotic Construction Front, so can this news be fake?" Abacha asked dissatisfied.

"This is probably the 'benefit' of a democratic country!" Cao Mo couldn't help but sigh after being shocked.

"Why do I sound like sarcasm to you?" Abacha asked.

"The price of cement and other building materials in Kanem is high enough, compared with China, it can even be said to be ridiculously high, which is enough to stimulate investors to overcome all difficulties to run to Kanem to engage in cement production, there is no need to ban imports - you look at me, during this period of time, in addition to the construction of mining areas, I was thinking about how to build a cement plant, and I was not stimulated by the price of cement in Kanem? The new bill can only be said to be an addition, and some lawmakers want to promote this bill, apparently because they are instigated by the domestic cement manufacturers in Kanem, fearing that more imports will reduce their windfall profits in the future. Cao Mo spread his hands and said.

Cao Mo was also secretly glad that he had already prepared for the idea of pulling Aabacha into the gang.

Otherwise, he invested in the construction of a cement plant in Lonta, and was targeted by the forces behind Kanem who have the ability to push the federal parliament to consider a ban on cement, which is really uncomfortable.

The involvement of the Abacha or the Sika family, no matter how powerful the forces behind this are, it is impossible to prevent the local forces from taking a bite of this fat cake.

A small cement plant with a level of 30,000 tons or even a larger annual production capacity cannot be called a township enterprise in China, but can only be called a rural enterprise.

After all, the annual cement import scale of Kanem in the past two years has been three or four million tons, and this is what this force wants to intercept at present.

If this bill is approved by the federal parliament, how much will the price of cement in Kanem's country increase?

Cao Mo suddenly felt that he not only had to speed up the investment and construction of the cement plant at this time, but also hoard a batch of cement in advance, and could even consider directly using diesel generator sets to produce cement, so as to wait for the domestic cement price in Kanem to skyrocket again......
