Chapter 137: Meeting

Waiting for Guo Guangxin, vice president of the group, to come over, the meeting officially began.

Guo Guangxin is also the president of the overseas investment department, but he usually doesn't care much about the affairs of the overseas department, and he lets Shen Ji do it - he still has to preside over today's meeting.

Cao Mo and Song Yuqing, as grassroots supervisors, naturally sat in the corner and listened, but they were also quiet.

"You really have to pick up some, only a few days after you came back, it made the whole company uproar, if it wasn't for Mr. Chen to help you out, I don't know how to end up today." Song Yuqing complained in a low voice.

"When you spread my rumors, didn't you follow the fun?" Cao Mo didn't go behind him to catch Song Yuqing's hand, but Song Yuqing poked him with a pen.

"Who rarely spreads your rumors!" Song Yuqing of course denied it.

"You are not afraid to spread my rumors, I now have Chen Lao Fox Spirit covered, and I can run rampant in Dongsheng!" Cao Mo said triumphantly.

"Mr. Chen is so enthusiastic about helping your family, and you still talk about her, I got the opportunity to sue you. Song Yuqing threatened.

"Manager Cao, what is the relationship between you and Mr. Chen of the group?" Someone in the front row still couldn't help but be curious at this time, leaned back and asked Cao Mo in a low voice.

"I said that I got into Mr. Chen, Manager Zhou, you definitely don't believe it, I want to say that my dad got in Mr. Chen, Manager Zhou, do you believe it?" Cao Mo asked jokingly.

As soon as he spoke, Song Yuqing poked his back with a pen.

"I'm not talking nonsense, why do you keep poking me, be careful that I poke back?" Cao Mo turned his head and protested to Song Yuqing in a low voice.

"Turn your head away and don't look at me – if you have the ability, poke it back. Song Yuqing said in a low voice, but then she thought that Cao Mo's word "poke" was used very rogues, so she lowered her head and poked Cao Mo twice with a pen.

"I'll help you keep the books in my heart. Cao Mo threatened.

"How are the preparations for your father's homestay?" Song Yuqing asked in a low voice, she and Cao Mo were colleagues in the West Africa branch, and it was normal for them to talk to each other in the conference room, and they were not afraid of what others thought.

"It's okay - it's just that Chen Fupo will pay attention to it all day long, and I have to guard against them going too far - they are all from coming over now, looking at their dry firewood and blazing fire, I suspect that they can't hold back the sheets," Cao Mo sighed, "I'm worried about when they don't pick up some of their behavior, and I'm embarrassed in the company!"

Song Yuqing held back a smile, and then she couldn't stand Cao Mo's nonsense, so she moved another seat and concentrated on the meeting;

How unjust is that......

In the next two to three years, the development focus of the Overseas Investment Division will still be in the West Africa branch.

At present, the profit of grain and oil is not as high as that of real estate, but grain and oil have always been the foundation of Dongsheng.

Dongsheng has a very solid foundation in the domestic grain and oil market, and now the overseas scale will be further expanded, which can promote the steady increase of the group's profit scale in this area.

The follow-up focus of the West Africa branch is also to enrich the industrial chain and tap more profit potential around the palm oil line.

Conero Lake Industrial Park is actually a good platform to tap the profit potential of the industrial chain.

Previously, the power supply and transportation with Draculamo Port could not be solved, but with the further improvement of traffic conditions, Dongsheng will build the third phase of the palm oil production base in the Conero Lake Industrial Park to maximize profits.

The Tubman mill mainly coarsely presses the oil palm fruit, and then ships it back to China in barrels for refining and packaging, but in fact there are conditions for refining in Kanem, and if it is not stuck in the power supply, the cost is definitely much lower than that of transporting it back to China for refining.

In addition, with the economic development of Xinhai, in addition to the increasing labor costs, the requirements for the environment are also becoming more and more demanding, and the municipal government has also approached Dongsheng many times, hoping to relocate Dongsheng's refinery in Qingshan District to free up land for the development of high-tech and financial industries with higher added value and lower pollution.

Dongsheng is actually considering the problem of relocation, after all, between the new factory and the government's compensation, Dongsheng can earn a net difference of seven or eight billion yuan - which is almost equivalent to the net profit of the Ministry of Grain and Oil for a year.

Since the Conero Lake Industrial Park can solve the problem of affordable industrial power supply, Dongsheng naturally began to consider whether to build the third phase of the base, including the refining process, to the Conero Lake Industrial Park.

In contrast, it is not too much attention to help introduce Chinese businessmen to build pulp mills, palm silk factories and furniture factories in the Conero Lake Industrial Park to fully tap the economic value of oil palm trees.

Dongsheng's main concern at the moment is still worried about the political instability of Kanem.

After all, the land is there, the oil palm trees are there, but the refinery has been shut down for a year and a half, and no one takes care of it, and the machinery and equipment in the factory may be stolen by the locals, not to mention the loss of the entire business chain.

Another is that there are still people in the group who are worried that Kanem is too backward and can take over the operation of the refinery.

Of course, today's meeting is only to discuss the feasibility, and until the business of the West Africa branch can really stabilize, there will be no rush to the third phase of the project for the time being.

As part of the discussion, the participants also mentioned that West African countries are very rich in bauxite resources, and the ore grade is better than that in China, so it is possible to purchase and ship it back to China to supply the electrolytic aluminum plant of the Ministry of Building Materials.

Cement production can be called a large energy consumer, but the electricity consumption of electrolytic aluminum is even more terrifying.

The electricity consumption per ton of aluminum is about 13,000 kWh.

Dongsheng could consider importing bauxite from West Africa to supply their factories close to large seaports, but would not consider building an aluminium smelter directly in West Africa unless the Lake Conero Industrial Park can significantly reduce its current electricity supply cost base to two-thirds.

At present, the control of the cost of tons of aluminum in China has been cut to every penny of the cost of power generation.

Therefore, in the short term, the West Africa branch can mainly consider purchasing bauxite from Kanem and other countries to supply domestic electrolytic aluminum plants.

Of course, the process of producing aluminium profiles from ingots is relatively simple.

As long as the sales scale of the aluminum profile market in Central and West Africa can be further increased in the future, the group should first consider building an aluminum profile processing plant in the Lake Conero Industrial Park, which is dedicated to the African continent, so as to improve the profit margin of this business chain.

Cao Mo thought it would be boring to attend such a meeting, but it was still very inspiring to sit down and watch a group of middle-level foreign officials who had just spread rumors and slander in the aisle to discuss the expansion and excavation of Dongsheng's business chain in Africa.

In addition to gold, oil palm, cocoa trees, limestone, silicate ore, volcanic ash, logs, water conservancy and other resources, Lunta and other parts of the Oyo region in the east, as well as Benin, which is adjacent to the Oyo canton, are also rich in natural gas, bauxite, iron ore and other mineral resources.

Not to mention the development of these resources, no one has even done basic exploration at present.

Of course, Cao Mo knows that his foundation is still very thin, and his current energy is not able to take care of too much for the time being, except for building more hydropower stations, building new cement plants, further transforming the mining and refining process of the Yibogu gold mine, and opening up the trade chain of cocoa butter and cocoa powder imported into China.

In the afternoon, there was a meeting, and in the evening it was a big dinner for the employees of the Overseas Investment Division.

Because of rumors and Chen Rong's relationship, Cao Mo suddenly became a star employee of the overseas department.

He sat at a table with Li Qixi and Song Yuqing, and people frequently came over to toast him, but Li Qixi, the deputy general manager of the West Africa branch, had few people to deal with.

Guo Fang had a good impression of Cao Mo at the same table at first, and said that she had a cousin at home who was in her fourth year of political science and law in East China, and she wanted to find an opportunity to introduce Cao Mo to Cao Mo.

The overseas employees are mainly men, and they are not afraid to speak meat, and in a few words, they retold Cao Mo's slander several times in front of Guo Fang.

Well, Guo Fang not only stopped mentioning her as an introducer, but also stared at Cao Mo vigilantly, for fear that Cao Mo would lead Li Qiwei crookedly in Kanem.

Song Yuqing made an excuse to leave first, and Cao Mo was pulled by a colleague from the overseas department to drink for half an hour before taking a taxi to Tianzifang Starli's residence.

He pushed the door in and saw Song Yuqing and Stari huddled in front of their desks, studying several entrepreneurial proposals officially received after the establishment of the entrepreneurship agreement for students studying in secondary schools in China and West Africa.

Seeing Stari looking over with a playful face, Cao Mo knew that Song Yuqing must have said a lot of things about him just now, and he lay on the bed on all fours:

"I'm being killed by you today, I don't want to get a girl in our company in my life!

Stari glanced at Song Yuqing and said, "I don't believe it!"

Cao Mo was so angry that she wanted to roll her eyes.

"After I left, how much wine did you drink, why did you come here so late? You have nothing to do?" Song Yuqing looked at her watch, it was almost ten o'clock, she looked at Cao Mo worriedly for a while, saw that he was still conscious, and said, "I have to go back first, otherwise my mother will call me again to urge me - I'll take the information back to see!"

didn't want to attract attention, Song Yuqing didn't let Cao Mo send her out, and went directly out of the back patio to the street to take a taxi and left first.

Cao Mo was a little miserable today, and when she took a taxi to Starry, she was still conscious.

However, after Song Yuqing left, he saw a bottle of mineral water on the table, opened it and drank half of it, stilted to the edge of the bed, and when he picked up the information and wanted to read it, he felt top-heavy, tilted his neck to slow down for a while, and the drunkenness came up, and soon he didn't know anything.
