Chapter Seventy-One: Secret Talk

The possibility of buying palm plantations directly from Draculamo is low, after all, Draculamo, as the largest seaport city in West Africa, has a strong export trade in palm oil, and nearby plantations are cheaper to transport and more stable in terms of income.

However, Ronta is a different story.

Lonta's traffic congestion and economic development are seriously lagging behind, not to mention the cost of transportation, the maintenance cost of the plantation is higher than that of Draculamo.

A considerable part of the palm oil produced in the Lunta region is for local people's consumption, and the price cannot be sold, and there is a surplus, and the overall yield is much lower than that of Draculamo.

Another major reason is also related to the traffic congestion and serious lag in development of Lonta.

A considerable number of the families who run the plantations, especially the younger generation of operators, are eager to leave the closed and backward Longta and move to Draculamo, especially to the Aral Lake Island and Ikoi Island districts, to live a prosperous and affluent urban life.

Conditionally, how many people are willing to stay in the backwoods of Lonta?

Just like Ojosan Felician Jr., who stayed in Catro to teach all these years, apart from his conflict with the old chieftain Felician and his son, the Ibogu tribe was really not attractive before.

If it weren't for Cao Mo, after the old chieftain died of illness, the best way for Ojosan would be to contract out the land cheaply—not even at all, but Ojosan would not have been able to give up his current position as a teacher and return to the tribe to take care of everything.

The vast majority of plantation owners in Longta live in small estates, and the maids and cooks abuse them at will, which seems to be beautiful, but if they live for a long time, they are also boring and tasteless, and it is impossible to have the colorful world of Draculamo.

In Cao Mo's eyes, Draculamo is still not enough to see, but in the eyes of the people of Kanem, Draculamo is heaven on earth.

This led to the emergence of a megacity with a population of tens of millions in a country like Kanem. The new capital of Kanem, Ebadan, has a population of less than 300,000.

Yang Deshan naturally understood this a long time ago.

Before, Yang Deshan didn't know when the second phase of the crushing plant project would be officially launched, but now that Shen Ji came over to make a decision, he felt that it was time to mention it to Abacha and Cao Mo.

"Abacha, don't you want to kick Kenhardt out of Longta?" Cao Mo said to Abacha, "Is it possible for Dongsheng to buy Kenhardt's corresponding share of the Sika family plantation, so that he can come to Draculamo to live in the Flower World, and save him from having trouble with you all day?"

Cao Mo said this, but he didn't just want to help Yang Deshan, he wanted to help Abacha solve the problems within the Sika family.

"My uncle won't say yes. Abacha shook his head and said with a frown.

"Of course, I won't mention this matter directly to Mr. Dasika, but will Kenhardt make trouble with Mr. Dasika after he knows that there is such a possibility?" Cao Mo asked.

Over the years, Da Sika has racked his brains to merge oil palm plantations and expand the family business, and when the traffic situation improves, it is impossible to easily agree to divide and sell the family oil palm land, but Cao Mo has never thought of convincing Da Sika directly.

"That's a good idea," Alacha's eyes lit up after Cao Mo reminded him, "Kenhardt has always wanted to move to Salt Lake Island, but he has not been allowed by my uncle, and he has had many opinions. If he knew that he could sell two or three thousand acres of palm plantation land for one or two million dollars, and from then on he would be able to live a prosperous life in Draculamo, it would indeed make a fuss for a while, but in the end, it would be difficult to say whether he could make his uncle relent......

"With Mr. Yang's help, things will always be easier. Cao Mo glanced at Yang Deshan and said with a smile.

Yang Deshan didn't know about the internal affairs of the Sika family, but he knew that Cao Mo must have bad intentions at this time.

However, the West Africa branch really wanted to buy plantations on a large scale in Lonta, and he couldn't do without Abacha's help, so he knew that Cao Mo stuffed him with a ball of, and he had to pick up a branch to stir it......

It was already past twelve o'clock in the evening, and it was impossible to send Abacha to the Lana Dere Hotel to stay, and it was impossible to disturb Shen Ji and them at this time, so Cao Mo and Yang Deshan took the car and returned directly to the dormitory.

"I really didn't expect that you still have this relationship with Mr. Chen, the director of the group - if you had said it earlier, everyone would not have made so much unpleasantness. Yang Deshan sat in the car and said to Cao Mo slowly.

"Ha, there doesn't seem to be anything unpleasant now!" Cao Mo said with a haha, "Your goods are now successfully sold off, and now the price of Kanem cement has risen to the sky, can you make a lot of money?"

"The appetite of the next family is too big, but we have to ask for people, and there is no way, now we can save the capital thank God," Yang Deshan said with a wry smile, "Of course, the ability to save the capital is also thanks to your two filling equipment to save lives, otherwise this batch of cement will take an extra month or two at sea, and even the ship will be scrapped! Xie Sipeng also said that when he is busy with this festival, he will thank you well." ”

Cao Mo intuitively felt that Yang Deshan was not lying, and his heart was more comfortable.

Although he criticized the Chinese for not being united enough outside the country in front of Song Yuqing, he really wanted to be able to see Yang Deshan and Xie Sipeng making a lot of money, it was a liar.

Cao Mo said with a smile: "I got what I deserved, there is nothing to thank." Mr. Yang, tell me, I don't have anything, I can make millions all at once, what else do I need you to thank? I'm not as greedy as you think. ”

"After this section, I will find a way to let Guo Jian leave. Yang Deshan was silent for a while and said.

Yang Deshan can really negotiate the acquisition of large-scale oil palm plantations, which will eventually enable the West African branch to contribute tens of millions of dollars in profits to the group every year.

At that time, kick Guo Jian away, and naturally don't have to worry about Guo Jian running back to the group and crying and shouting.

But the subtext of Yang Deshan's sentence is that Cao Mo still wants to help him facilitate the purchase of oil palm plantations.

Cao Mo is so easy to get set, and said with a smile:

"Don't, I don't have any problem with Manager Guo - Mr. Yang, if you want to kick him away, don't say it's because of me. ”

Yang Deshan also didn't want to be able to reach an agreement with Cao Mo immediately on Guo Jian's question, and said separately: "Xie Sipeng has been pestering little Tubman during this time, in fact, he wants to promote a thing, that is, he wants to contract an area from the Lana Dere Hotel to help Yan Zhicheng move the casino in, are you interested in participating?"

"Your business is getting bigger and bigger," Cao Mo shook his head and said, "I seem to have told Mr. Xie that even if I sit at the card table, I will occasionally play two entertainment games as a pastime, and I really want to participate in this kind of business, and when my father is released from prison, he can really chase Dracula Mo with a knife to cut me - if there are any other good things, Mr. Yang, you can pull me...... By the way, I can't mine the rock gold over there, I heard that Mr. Yang has hired two engineers from a domestic gold company, can I ask the gold mining team of the Felician family to do some technical guidance?"

"How much interest do you have in the Ibogu Gold Mine?" Yang Deshan asked.

"I'm single-handed, and I don't have a compatriot to help me, Mr. Yang, do you really think I can dig out how much food I can dig out of the mouths of a bunch of ground snakes?" Cao Mo said nonsense, "That is, this time Mr. Xie was generous and burned the loan agreement, and at the same time, Oqiaosan and Abacha saw that I was indeed working hard, and agreed that I would invest more than 600,000 yuan in the past few months into shares, and currently account for 10% of the shares in the building materials company—— Now I have nearly two million equipment in the mine for rent, and I have 10% of the shares of the construction materials company, even if the cement storm passes, it should be very easy to earn 1 million yuan a year -- I am satisfied ......."

"You're only twenty-two this year, aren't you? I've been mixed for half my life, and my income is not as high as yours. No matter how shrewd Yang Deshan was, he couldn't tell the truth of Cao Mo's words, so he just said with emotion.

"When your funds come in, you have a complete set of equipment, and the scale of gold mining has increased by five or six times, how can your income be lower than mine?" Cao Mo said perfunctorily.

"It's not like when you just started mining shallow gold, you can have more than 400 grams of placer gold a day, but now it's down too much, even if it doubles five or six times, you can go back to 500 grams of gold every day, which is enough to thank God." Yang Deshan wanted to ease the relationship with Cao Mo, and felt that there was no need to hide these things and not say anything.

The Qiaonai gold mine is only 11 kilometers away from the Ibogu gold mine, the geological conditions of the mineralization are similar, the gold ore grade may be slightly worse, what scale of equipment on it, how much gold can be mined, everyone has a general number in their hearts, and there is nothing to hide.

Cao Mo also thought that he would make additional investments in the Yibogu gold mine, increase the intensity of rock gold mining, and add placer gold mining, which can mine almost one kilogram of gold per day, which is quite optimistic.

However, after seven or eight months, when the placer gold is mined, no new placer gold ore can be found, and the daily mining volume of rock gold will drop to five or six hundred grams at that time.

There seems to be nothing unacceptable about this, though.

Of course, Cao Mo was more concerned about the two professional engineers recruited from China by Qiao Nai Gold Mine, staring at Yang Deshan's face, not wanting him to avoid this question again.

"You said that those two engineers, if you can convince the Felician family, you can hire one of them," Yang Deshan said with a headache, "The cost of hiring people from China is still too high, and Xu Sheng also has conflicts with them......

Yang Deshan hired people from China and offered an annual salary of 300,000 yuan before he poached Kanem.

These two engineers are not high-end technical talents, similar to Guo Jian, majoring in geology and mineralogy all their lives, and have five or six years of front-line work experience in domestic formal gold mining companies.

At present, Xu Sheng is one of the major shareholders of the Qiao Nai Gold Mine, and he does not receive a salary, and his nephew Xu Ling receives 10,000 people's living expenses in the mine every month.

At the beginning of the business, there was nothing to make a fuss about, but when two engineers were hired from China, they had not been able to play a role for the time being, but they had to offer a monthly salary of 25,000 yuan.

In addition, the new equipment of the Qiao Nai gold mine has not been put into use, but the monthly salary of the two engineers adds up to 50,000 yuan, which eats up the little profit that is currently left.

It is rare that Cao Mo is interested, and Yang Deshan does not hide it, so he hopes that Cao Mo can take over one person, and Qiao Nai Gold Mine can also save some costs.

However, Cao Mo was angry when he heard about the annual salary of 300,000 yuan.

It's not that he can't afford such a high annual salary now, the problem is that whether it is the Ibogu gold mine, the farm or the cement factory, it is all done by Kabuja, Lucy, Owema, Wendiscaf and others under his leadership, and a new professional engineer in rock gold mining is also recruited to be Kabuja's assistant.

Kabuja's annual salary is only 60,000 yuan, but the Chinese engineer who works as his assistant has an annual salary of 300,000 yuan.

If you really want such a person, you are a bit stupid.

If you don't want Kabuja, Lucy, and Wendy Scafe to make trouble, then you have to raise their annual salaries to 300,000 yuan.

But this, Cao Mo still doesn't do it, thinking that it is still reliable to poach people from Kanem's gold mining company!

"I can't say enough about the fact that the Felician family gold mining company employs senior technical managers. I am entrusted with the management and operation of the gold mine, and the most I have the power is to hire an expert on a temporary basis to give a few lessons to the workers and feel the pulse of the existing problems in the Yibogu gold mine," Cao Mo said, "Mr. Yang, on your side, who is more skilled and speaks better English, I will settle you a hundred dollars a day for the expert fee - what do you think?"

The domestic expert fee also has to start at two hundred dollars a day, and Cao Mo gives one hundred dollars in Kanem, which is also a little stingy, but Yang Deshan also thinks that Cao Mo needs to cooperate in many things, and he can't calculate this kind of small account.

Besides, their equipment has not yet entered the market, and people are idle, Yang Deshan wanted to lend it to Cao Mo, how could they save a little cost, and promised: "Both of them will lend you a month first, and you will settle two hundred dollars a day for us!"

6,000 US dollars borrowed two engineers to help sort out the current work of the Yibogu gold mine, no matter how you calculate it, you won't lose too much, Cao Mo readily agreed, and didn't want to look too stingy, so he didn't bargain with Yang Deshan anymore......
