Chapter 19: Entanglement

(Thanks to the Golden Alliance drunkyong for his support, add a more chapter)

The shopkeeper recognized Song Yuqing and Cao Mo as Dongsheng West Africa Branch, and was full of kind words, but he was not sloppy at all when he checked the fineness of the gold ingots.

After fiddling with it and confirming that the gold ingots were not fraudulent and the condition was not bad, the shopkeeper took out a business card box from the corner of the glass cabinet and handed the two gilded business cards to Cao Mo and Song Yuqing respectively:

"Little brother Xie Sipeng, it's not easy to run this small shop, just now it was really a misunderstanding - where did you Dongsheng discover the gold mine? I met your manager Guo last time, but I didn't hear him say ah, your Dongsheng business is so big, the strength is so strong, this little thing still needs to be kept secret from us?"

"My name is Cao Mo, I am a small ordinary employee of Dongsheng Company, I was sent to Draculamo, and I was in a hurry, so I took on some extra private work, which made Mr. Xie smile. Cao Moxin's business card hadn't had time to print, so he took out the business card of the branch title and hung up on the supervisor and handed it to Xie Sipeng.

In the future, I will often deal with this gold store, and I can't hide my private work.

At present, there are not many Chinese companies in Qatar, and many expatriate employees take on private work, which is not a secret that will definitely die when they see the light - like Cao Mo and Guo Jian carried personal belongings in the container that Cao Mo and Guo Jian shipped to Draculamo to the group before, or contacted other compatriots after arriving at Draculamo.

Besides, there is no direct conflict of interest, who is idle to go to the headquarters of the other company to complain?

"Your private work is not small!" Xie Sipeng sells and buys in a gold store, and his interest in gold mines is so strong, how can it be that Cao Mo can dispel it in a few words?

Seeing that Xie Sipeng misunderstood that the gold mine was a private job done by several of them, the so-called shallow and taboo words were deep, Cao Mo didn't want to explain too much, and said vaguely:

"There is a local gold mine in Longta, and the local mining technology is relatively backward, so we will provide some technical support in exchange for some remuneration, and there is no profit - the gold mine is too small, and this amount of goods will be shipped in a month, and Mr. Xie will not look at it. ”

"Is that because your method is not in place? I know a few masters in China who are very experienced in this area. Although I don't have much experience, I have also led a gold mining team in Northeast China before......" Xie Sipeng asked with interest.

Intuition told Cao Mo that Xie Sipeng's words were true.

It is also true that Xie Sipeng traveled all the way to Dracula to open a gold shop, and he never expected to make a fortune selling a few exquisite gold jewelry to the locals.

However, in any case, they almost turned their guns at each other just now, and there is no reason to talk about cooperation in such a hurry.

No matter how docile Owema's temperament is, Cao Mo has to give him face and urge Xie Sipeng to settle the payment quickly.

Xie Sipeng's plan is very far, and this transaction is completely settled in pure gold, without a little discount.

There was a hint of twilight on the horizon, but Kanem was near the equator, and it was getting dark late, so Owema could set out at this time and get back to the village of Ibogu before it was completely dark.

Cao Mo took out the 500,000 naira (less than 1,700 US dollars) that he planned to use for the next purchase of diesel and other materials, and handed it to Owema to take it back directly to Parry for accounting, and then the materials and materials that should be purchased were added first, and there was no need to wait for him to go back.

Kabuja plans to escort Cao Mo, Song Yuqing, and Lucy to the seafood restaurant first, and then find a car to go back to reunite with his family.

"It was really a misunderstanding just now, if you don't mind, I will make amends tonight with my little brother?" Xie Sipeng chased out of the gold shop at this time.

Cao Mo saw that Xie Sipeng's interest was indeed in the gold mine, not in Song Yuqing, and thought to himself that he would invest every penny in the gold mine, and the newly opened seafood restaurant by the strait would not be too cheap.

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

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

Xie Sipeng had bodyguards in Draculamo, the same security guard with a gun just now, Cao Mo asked Kabuja to drive a motorcycle and go back directly, and they took Xie Sipeng's car to the Strait Seafood Restaurant in front of the Kennett Building.

The West Bank is full of sewage, dilapidated slums, and chaotic law and order, but as the old capital of Kanem, the most prosperous city in West Africa, the oil magnates, the descendants of the colonizers, and the chiefs and their dependents and heirs are still living a drunken life.

Draculamo is a city with a severe gap between the rich and the poor.

Farmers in the suburbs may only have an income of one or two hundred dollars a year, of which eighty or ninety percent is still income in kind, that is to say, the annual cash income for growing grain for self-consumption and fishing for their own use after hunting may only be a dozen or twenty dollars.

However, when Cao Mo walked into the newly opened seafood restaurant by the strait, which is expensive even in a metropolis like Xinhai, she found that there was no shortage of well-dressed diners.

Of course, at present, the country is also dying of drought and waterlogging.

Cao Mo is still the first brother.

And after he accepted the invitation, Xie Sipeng asked the driver to drive a seven-seater business car out of the courtyard behind the gold store, and there was already a young woman in a tight short skirt with a charming and sexy face compared to Song Yuqing.

The little young woman is about the same age as Song Yuqing, with a tight short skirt wrapped in a bumpy figure, but slightly petite, and her expression is slightly cold; Cao Mo thinks he prefers Song Yuqing more, except that Song Yuqing's skin is more delicate and snow-white, and her figure is much taller, Song Yuqing's personality is cheerful, easy to get along with, and there is no feeling of being high-end.

Xie Sipeng introduced the young woman Zhang Min as a secretary and accountant hired by the gold store from China, but seeing Xie Sipeng sitting on it, she was close to the little young woman's thighs without any scruples, and the ghost believed that she and Xie Sipeng had a legitimate relationship between men and women.

When he went to the restaurant, Xie Sipeng also asked Zhang Min to come forward for him and show off everything, completely looking like a successful person who has something to do, Cao Mo didn't envy it, thinking that he could be like this at the age of forty, and he could be regarded as a better person than him.

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

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

Cao Mo and the others finally waited for a seat by the floor-to-ceiling window with a night view of the strait.

Zhang Min was a little cold, she would stand up Zhang Luo if there was anything, but she didn't talk much, but Xie Sipeng was really not angry at all, and after sitting down, he took the initiative to talk about his life experience first, and why he ran to Draculamo at such a time.

As Cao Mo speculated, the crackdown on small-scale gold mining, which is seriously damaging to the environment, has become increasingly severe in the past two years.

Those gold diggers in China who have moved to Xinjiang and Northeast China are becoming less and less profitable, and they are worried that they will be banned and severely fined at any time.

Xie Sipeng had a gold mining team in China before, he also saw the domestic industry, there is no chance, I heard that sub-Saharan African countries are famous for their abundance of gold, a year ago disbanded the gold mining team, he first went to Draculamo to see the situation.

Xie Sipeng also left Draculamo and went to several of the more famous gold-producing areas in Kanem, but in the past two years, there are still too few Chinese businessmen and Chinese-funded enterprises in West Africa, and if something happens, there is not even a fellow villager who helps each other.

In addition, the local law and order is so chaotic, and Draculamo gives people a little sense of security, Xie Sipeng is alone, and he does not dare to easily go deep into Kanem's hinterland to invest in gold mining.

Of course, he is also optimistic about Africa's development opportunities, so he opened a gold store in Draculamo to wait and see the situation, and at the same time lay the foundation first.

"These are backward production capacity in China, and the living space is getting narrower and narrower in the future, and our generation has dared to fight hard in the past few decades, but when it comes to high-tech industries, I don't know what to do - Africa is poor and backward, but for us, it is like China that did not develop decades ago, and we can more or less find a familiar feeling," Xie Sipeng said with feeling, "Mr. Cao also has such feelings, right?"

"I'm young, and I'm not qualified to express such feelings like Mr. Xie!" Cao Mo said with a smile.

"Xie always treats Cao Mo as a peer, right?" Song Yuqing sat on the side and laughed out loud, and said jokingly with Cao Mo, "I just said that you didn't come out of the forest for a month, and you followed the wild man, seeing that you deceived Mr. Xie......"

“...... Little brother should be in his thirties this year, right?" Xie Sipeng was slightly stunned and asked hesitantly.

By this time, it was already dark outside, and the dining room was brightly lit, and the glass windows were like a bright mirror.

Cao Mo looked sideways and saw that he was reflected in the glass window, and he was really not immature.

He lived in a workshop deep in the jungle for a month, and when he returned to Draculamo in a hurry, he only cleaned up hastily, his beard was not cleaned, his hair was hastily combed, and his motorcycle was blown by the wind, and it became unkempt again, and his skin became rough in the wind and rain, not to mention that it was tanned in more than a year.

Taken together, several factors really don't look like people in their early twenties, but they don't look like they're in their thirties.

"I'm only twenty-one years old. "There is nothing to hide from this, Cao Mo told him calmly.

"Ah!" Xie Sipeng was really surprised, and said, "That brother sells an old man and calls you an old brother, the old brother was just able to suppress the big black man so harshly, and make the big black man who is as irritable as a bear calm down quickly-this is not like what a person of your age can do!"

Cao Mo is usually more or less stubborn about Owema, and he is kind to discuss everything, and he hopes to smooth out Owema's hair in order to calm the rest of the gold mining team.

Today, he was very relevant, and he was especially anxious to stop Owema from running out to get a gun.

As for why Owema suddenly lost his temper later, Cao Mo didn't know.

Although his intuition has become surprisingly sharp now, it can be said that it is somewhat telepathic, but after all, it is not a mind reading, and he can completely interpret the thoughts of the human heart.

"Mr. Xie said that Owema, he usually has a very gentle temper, but today it is Mr. Xie that you are too careless when you speak. Owema is a veteran and attaches great importance to honors, which is his pain point, and he can't stand others talking about him. However, apart from this, he usually makes some jokes, maybe speaks harshly, he doesn't care. Cao Mo said casually.

Although Xie Sipeng showed a strong willingness to cooperate, Cao Mo had no intention of cooperating with anyone at this time, except for being shallow and taboo.

It's not a precaution.

In addition to keeping a low profile in Kanem, the main thing is that his current capital is too limited.

Xie Sipeng, a master who can go to Dracula to open a gold store and hire professional bodyguards around him, how can he have a net worth of three or five million dollars, right?

No matter how much it is, it is estimated that there will be none.

Cao Mo has only invested a total of 20,000 US dollars in the Yibogu gold mine, so how can he work closely with Xie Sipeng, who may come up with a million US dollars in investment at once?

Xie Sipeng only took 30,000 or 40,000 US dollars or even 200,000 US dollars, and he took a stake in the gold mining company in exchange for a share that was enough to satisfy him, and Cao Mo himself was not happy - he now monopolized the gold mine in Yibo Ancient Village, and the potential value was definitely more than 350,000 US dollars.

However, if he asked Xie Sipeng to take out millions of dollars of investment in exchange for thirty or forty points of shares, would Xie Sipeng be willing?

Besides, Xie Sipeng dares to take a net worth of millions of dollars and go to Africa alone, will he be a vegetarian?

I believe that only partners with equal strength can win Xie Sipeng's true respect.

Now the strength of all aspects is not equal, even if you are reluctant to cooperate, who knows what kind of unhappiness will arise in the future?

Of course, in the gold exchange business, in addition to Xie Sipeng, Cao Mo can't find a better partner in Draculamo for the time being......
