Song Yuqing was about to open her mouth to speak, but Cao Mo snorted outside the door, reminding her that the partition wall had ears.

Song Yuqing also sat at the head of the bed, next to Cao Mo, and asked in a thin voice: "She has succeeded in getting it, and she has also washed herself, why did she really stay in Taihua and join the company? Could it be that she really wants to bite a bigger piece of fat on Jinsheng?"

"How do I know?" Cao Mo's throat was a little astringent, he didn't control the volume of his voice, and he just opened his mouth a little loudly, so frightened that Song Yuqing hurriedly covered his mouth, Cao Mo turned his head to Song Yuqing's ear and said, "I have deliberately observed Zhou Han again in the past few days, and I feel that this person is a bit complicated, and I can't figure it ......out for a while."

was poured into her ears by the hot air coming out of Cao Moha, Song Yuqing was a little itchy, her cheeks swayed, and rubbed Cao Mo's lips, both of them were a little dumbfounded, and they looked at each other in a daze for two seconds.

The touch was soft and fragrant, like a stone falling into the heart lake, rippling slightly, looking at Song Yuqing's bright and deep eyes, Cao Mo couldn't help but hug Song Yuqing's waist, wanting to kiss on that delicate red lips.

Song Yuqing stretched out her hand to block Cao Mo's mouth and pushed him away, her chest rose and fell, and she breathed rapidly for a while before she said softly: "I'm already confused with you, you can't bully me anymore." ”

"What do you mean by bullying you?" Cao Mo lay down playfully, his head resting on Song Yuqing's slightly cool thigh.

"At most, I'll do your laundry. Song Yuqing said, reaching out and scratching Cao Mo's half-length hair.

"So good to me?" Cao Mo asked.

"Look at you washing clothes, soak them in water and take them out, I look sad in my heart, I have long wanted to help you wash - how can you wash clothes like this?" Song Yuqing said in disgust, and pushed Cao Mo away from her body again......

Although Lu Jianchao's trip had nothing to do with Cao Mo, he accompanied him and delayed it for several days, and as soon as the matter here was over, Cao Mo rushed back to Ibogu.

The construction of the simple cement bridge was very fast, mainly due to the upfront fundraising and the long preparation time, but the materials were transported to the construction site, and the cement bridge on the Ronta-Draculamo road, which directly connects directly to the Tubman family's plantation, was planned to take only three months.

In mid-May, the cement bridge had already used a crane to start erecting the prefabricated cement bridge onto the bridge.

The main body of the three-span main bridge will be completed by June.

The other two-span bridge has already begun to install guardrails.

There are also five single-span, six- to eight-meter-long bridges and culverts along the way, and in the early years, there were stone piers and wooden bridges or concrete bridges built in the area, and this time Dongsheng donated an additional $50,000 to strengthen them.

The slow pace is still about eight kilometers of intermittent crossing roads, and there is a lack of sufficient road construction machinery and equipment, and the land along the route is leveled out only in mid-May.

There are no large sand and gravel trucks, mainly relying on more than a dozen tractors and other agricultural vehicles with a load of more than three tons after being slightly modified to transport stones and other roadbed paving materials, not to mention where the efficiency can be.

The Ronta-Draculamo highway will not be officially opened to traffic until October, but by the time the two main bridges are completed, off-road vehicles, pickup trucks and cars that are not afraid of tossing will be able to barely pass.

Now all parties are also rushing to meet the construction period, entering June is the rainy season in Kanem, and there are torrential downpours every three or five months, which has a great impact on road construction.

The construction of the hydropower station barrage is also in full swing, fortunately, it is contracted by the China Soil Group, the construction equipment entering the site is sufficient, and there is no problem in completing the main construction of the dam before the rainy season, and the next step is the station building and equipment installation and line erection.

The hydropower station needs to supply power to cement factories and mining areas, as well as to pull a road of lighting electricity for the Ibogu tribe, which involves the investment and construction of power distribution facilities, and the cycle is relatively long, and it is expected that it will be delayed until October to really supply electricity.

Although the cement plant has been officially completed, and even mechanical feeding and unloading devices have been added, and the daily production capacity has reached the designed 300 tons, it is not without problems.

When it was originally designed, it was designed to minimize investment and construction time, and there was no basic dust removal and flue gas treatment device, and the filling area to the storage area still relied on manual movement without installing conveyor belts.

Kanem, especially Lonta, does not have a particularly strong sense of environmental protection, but the key is that there are no dust removal facilities, and the working environment is too harsh.

Cao Mo felt that as a capitalist, he also had to pay a little attention to his conscience.

Dust removal, flue gas treatment equipment and finished bagged cement conveyor belts should be added, and they should be installed in the future.

The flue gas installation device of the calcining shaft kiln is more complicated, and the equipment needs to be shut down for transformation, which can be delayed for five or six months, or even longer until the equipment is overhauled.

The installation of dust removal facilities in the workshop and conveyor belts from the filling area to the storage and loading area does not have much conflict with normal production, and the next step can be done directly.

In addition to these, the actual operation of the whole section of the cement plant has been more than half a month, and a large number of problems have also been exposed.

The team leader and workers are not skilled in operation and the strength of technical work is not strong, which can be slowly improved, but the simplicity of the equipment, especially the calcining clinker section in order to save investment, the traditional shaft kiln is used, so that the quality of the final cement produced is not stable enough, and it is difficult to overcome.

It's impossible to dismantle the shaft kiln and rebuild it into a rotary kiln, right?

Now Cao Mo is starting to collect the shortage of personnel from the farm, everything is mainly to strengthen the building materials company, in addition to Wendy Scarf and the technical and production supervisors, Lucy and Parry have long been transferred to the building materials company as full-time financial directors and warehouse market supervisors, but the professional standards are still somewhat lacking.

All these contradictions are temporarily overshadowed by the ongoing cement storm in the land of Kanem, but if the problem is not solved, it will always be exposed.

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

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

For the next ten days, Cao Mo stared at Ibogu, but so many problems were not something he wanted to solve, so he could wipe them all clean like an eraser.

Cao Mo is sometimes upset, and wants to overturn and rebuild the cement factory and form a new team.

On this day, Abacha came to him again, and Cao Mo sat in front of the wooden house, staring at the black smoke rising from the calcining shaft kiln.

Abacha squatted beside Cao Mo, but smoked his cigar beautifully.

In the early stage, he used the hoarded clinker to produce finished cement, and after receiving the money, a large amount of money was siphoned off by Cao Mo to pay for the construction of the hydropower station and the rock gold mining equipment.

Abacha invested $120,000 in the cement plant, counting the $80,000 in his pocket to build the Lonta-Draculamo Company, and the $20,000 in agricultural equipment he had invested in the Ibogu Farm in the early stage, and the $220,000 he had contributed to the company, but Cao Mo had given him nearly $500,000 in dividends so far.

Now that he saw Cao Mo, he wanted to hug him and kiss him.

Before that, he was considered to have a deep family background, and he lived a luxurious life, but the family dividends, public office funds and some fragmentary investments added up to 70,000 US dollars a year.

Of course, Abacha is not a man of luxury.

He saw that Cao Mo had invested almost all the money returned from the cement plant into the construction of hydropower stations and the purchase of new mining equipment for gold mines, and he did not think of using the dividends in his hand to buy a mansion in Draculamo, or to marry another wife, or to buy hundreds of acres of oil palm land to realize his long-standing dream of being a plantation owner.

"By the way, these days, many Chinese people have gone to Longta to look for gold mines," Abacha asked Cao Mo, spitting out smoke rings that were not yet formed enough, "Do you think I also invested in a gold mine and became addicted to the mine owner?"

Lu Jianchao came over this time, and the news that he, Yang Deshan, and Xie Sipeng had discovered gold mines in Longta almost spread in Draculamore's Chinese business district.

As the most core transit station in West Africa, Draculamo has many Chinese businessmen who go to Ghana and Cameroon to pan for gold, and basically transit through Draculamo.

These people are like hunting dogs with a keen sense of smell, when they talked to Song Yuqing on the phone the day before yesterday, they heard her say that there were already several groups of people who smelled the smell and directly contacted Xie Sipeng and Yang Deshan.

Hearing that Abacha said that someone had bypassed Xie Sipeng and Yang Deshan and went directly to Longta to look for gold mines, Cao Mo didn't feel strange at all.

However, Abacha wanted to join the ranks of prospecting, even if Abacha had the advantage of being a local snake, he did not approve of it, and shook it and said:

"For the construction of the second hydropower station, Sam and the survey team have been roughly touching the tributaries of the Lujiaochuan River for more than two months, and some riverbed valleys may have placer gold deposits, but the amount is not large, and it is not worth investing too much expectation and enthusiasm. And rock gold mining requires almost $2 million to start, and there is a lot of geological exploration to be carried out in the early stage, so you may not have the patience to form a new gold mining team......"

There is still a lot to be tapped into in the gold potential of Longta, and Cao Mo himself has been stepping up the exploration of gold reserves in the upper reaches of the Lujiao River, and even expanding the scope of the prospecting permit by 200 square kilometers.

For the time being, Abacha is not qualified to apply for an area to explore and then engage in rock gold mining.

When it comes to the simplest and crude placer gold mining, those barbaric gold diggers from China have more flexible methods and can endure hardships, and Cao Mo doesn't think that Abacha can endure this hardship.

"Then you have to let me participate in the construction of the second hydropower station of the Lujiaochuan River!" Abacha still listened to Cao Mo's persuasion, and said with a blank eye at this time.

Seeing that the main body of the Ibogu No. 1 Hydropower Station is about to end the watering, the next step is the construction of the station building and the installation of equipment, and he does not know when the No. 2 Hydropower Station will start, but he knows that Cao Mo has no shortage of funds in his hands, and he can do it whenever he wants.

I used to think that opening a gold mine was like grabbing money, but I didn't expect that building a cement factory would be even more powerful.

He didn't want to be left behind this time, so he also stared at Cao Mo more closely.

"What kind of friendship do I have with you, how can the construction of the second hydropower station be without you? Are you doubting our friendship?" Cao Mo asked angrily, but his heart was even more angry: After the hydropower station is completed, selling electricity is like robbery, if it weren't for the fact that everything still depends on you, the head snake, the ghost will want to give up the investment share!

Of course, the construction of a new hydropower station will require new industrial capacity to consume electricity, but Cao Mo is not sure if they are rushing to the second phase of the cement plant project now, whether it will alarm the local interest groups in Kanem and whether it will lead to a crazy counterattack.

The interest groups that can win over the majority of the members of the Federal Assembly, ignore President Buhari's obstruction, and forcibly pass the cement import ban, Cao Mo and they have already figured it out.

This interest group is inextricably linked to the sixth junta, and the Stanin and Atessa families, who took over Kanem's two state-owned cement factories before the end of the junta and democratic elections.

The Stanning family currently has an annual cement production capacity of about 1.5 million tons in Kanem and a new cement plant with an annual output of 500,000 tons is under construction, while Atessa currently has a domestic cement production capacity of about 1.2 million tons in Kanem and a new plant of 300,000 tons is under construction.

By the end of the year, Kanem's domestic cement production capacity will increase to five million tons, of which the Stanin and Atessa families will account for almost 70 percent.

The two families of Stanin and Atesa can't eat all the fat on their plates, and they are still resisting the crazy attacks of Kanem cement importers and packers, and Cao Mo pulls Abacha and Felician to eat a small bite of fat, and of course Stannin and the Atessa family have no time to take care of it, otherwise it will be too angry.

However, if Cao Mo rashly went directly to another 300,000 or even 500,000-ton cement plant in Ibogu, he would be somewhat unsure of life and death.

If you want to build a new factory, you have to wait until these two families are beaten down by the domestic opposition forces in Kanem - Cao Mo thinks that the Stanin and Atessa families will regress and compromise a little at some point, and the ban may be lifted at some point, but the situation will obviously stalemate for a while.

However, having said that, the new cement plant must not be built in a hurry, and preparations must be made in secret, but the construction of the new hydropower plant must be prepared before the next dry season.

How to digest the abundant electricity generated by the new hydropower station is a difficult problem in front of Cao Mo......
