Chapter 158: Chinese New Year's Eve (1)

(Thank you Supreme Alliance for the night and night, the first ...... )

Not to mention the Oppenheimer and Rupert families, Oyo Governor Blake did not have particularly high hopes for the construction of hydropower stations in the upper reaches of the Lujiao River in the short term.

The Tosheng or Fellician family power companies are willing to use such a VAM agreement to ensure that 50 million US dollars in construction funds will be brought in within five years, and Blake is personally happy to see it.

In addition to his family's investment interests, as governor of Oyo State, he is not only willing to see the hydropower resources in the upper reaches of the Lujiao River developed as soon as possible, but also to see a real road between Lunta and Draculamo – the gravel road was too easy before.

In fact, with Blake's support, Abacha and Ojosan already have an absolute majority on the board of directors of Sika Adet Power Grid Company, but as much as possible to unite the Oppenheimer and Rupert families, Cao Mo, Abacha and Ojosan still cooperate with Engesan and Brahm to do their work.

On January 19, the same day that the foundation stone of the Ibogu refinery of the Felician family mining company was laid, Cao Mo signed a VAM agreement with Sika Idet Power Grid Co., Ltd., which was authorized by all shareholders, in the name of the Felician family power group.

Le Clézio, Engassant, and Brahm have also acquired individual shares ranging from 5 to 8 percent of the power grid company from their respective families, and together they are driving the largest project ever built in the Ronta region.

The overall framework of the VAM agreement generally follows Cao Mo's conception, with only minor adjustments in the details that are beneficial to the three families.

The core is also to ensure that the upstream hydropower plant cluster will achieve the target of providing no less than 400 million kWh of electricity to Sika Aidet Power Grid Company in five years.

Within five years, the annual dividends of Sika Aidet Power Grid Company shall not exceed US$600,000,000, US$1,200,000, US$240,000,000,000 and US$10 million per year; 50% of the surplus funds in addition to the annual dividends shall be invested in the upgrading and reconstruction of the Lonta-Draculamo highway, and the board of directors shall be authorized to borrow funds from financial institutions in advance through loans, and 50% will be used for the construction of Lonta's basic power grid facilities.

After five years, the annual shareholder dividend will still be limited to US$10 million or 50% of the profit (whichever is higher), and the excess profit will be used to invest in profitable infrastructure projects such as electricity in the Lonta area.

The Felician family power company, which failed to keep its promise, reimbursed Sika Aidet Power Grids for all of its revenues and interest on the Lonta-Draculamo road.

The grid company is expected to eventually bring in at least $2 million a year for each family, and supporting Ojosan's candidacy for federal parliament is not a no-holding.

If you spend a million dollars in Kanem, you can directly buy a seat in the council.

The vast majority of the construction workers for the construction of the hydropower station are provided by the Yibogu Labor Service Company, and the Zhongtu Group mainly provides technical and operational personnel and construction machinery that Cao Mo has not been able to purchase on a large scale.

Kanem did not have the concept of the Spring Festival, and twelve small and medium-sized hydropower stations along the Gray Crow River, the Ibogu River and the nearby Santo and Kaya rivers laid the foundation stone together on Chinese New Year's Eve.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, the administrative office building and two staff dormitory buildings in Conero Lake Industrial Park were officially opened.

Although the conditions are simpler, the custom of eating Chinese New Year's Eve dinner on Chinese New Year's Eve will not be abandoned.

In addition to the investors, employees and their families in the industrial park, Cao Mo and Yang Deshan also specially invited Feng Rui and Wang Wen, as well as Xu Sheng, Xu Ling, and other Chinese workers from the Qiao Nai gold mine who stayed in Draculamo, to the park to enjoy a seafood barbecue dinner.

In addition to Dongsheng's dispatched employees, unconsciously, there are almost hundreds of Chinese in Longta.

The barbecue dinner was also very lively.

In less than three months, the Conero Lake Industrial Park has been connected to the outside world by simple roads, the first phase of supporting projects have been completed, and three factories are planned to pass the Spring Festival.

A new cement plant with an investment of up to US$6 million for a production line has also been constructed and is expected to be invested in three months at the earliest.

In any case, the Lake Conero Industrial Park is already a little bit of a thing.

In order to ensure that the industrial park has enough funds for subsequent development and construction, Cao Mo directly paid the land transfer fee for the second phase of the new cement plant in advance.

Under the impetus of Shen Ji, Dongsheng also agreed in principle to start the construction of the third phase of the rough pressing and refining plant in the Conero Lake Industrial Park, and also transferred the transfer fee of 120 acres of industrial land to the account of the industrial park in advance.

During this period, the foundation stone of the Taihua Industrial Park and the Conero Lake Port Wharf was also officially laid, and the Longdong Highway and telecommunications infrastructure built by the Conero Lake Industrial Park in the early stage were paid, plus three months of interest.

At present, the industrial park has more than 3 million US dollars in cash in its account, which can continue to be used for the infrastructure construction of the new town and the second phase of the park.

Cao Mo did not interfere much in the construction and management of the industrial park, in addition to a bunch of things such as a hydropower station group, a refinery, a new cement plant, and a cocoa butter processing plant, he also bought the 80-acre original new cement factory planning land at the mouth of the Lujiaochuan River.

He did not intend to build a chalet hotel for vacation and business negotiations directly from the industrial park.

Even if the investment in the chalet hotel is limited, it will crowd out the extremely valuable construction funds of the industrial park.

The vast majority of small and medium-sized traders in Kanem are still reluctant to invest in fixed assets.

In order to attract these traders to invest in the factory, the only way to do this is to lease the steel structure workshop to them after the industrial park has been built in advance.

In this way, we can further expand the occupancy rate of enterprises and continue to increase the scale of the park, but at the same time, the industrial park must directly invest more construction funds, and we can not think of building supporting facilities, and we can continue to make money by selling industrial land.

Cao Mo thought about building a formal training base for the newly established Conero Security Company here after the year, and at the same time, relying on the training base of the security company, a 40-acre wooden house group was built as a management accommodation and business hotel.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, Cao Mo and his family organized investors, employees and families in Longta to hold a barbecue dinner in front of the administrative office building to welcome the New Year.

Although the power supply has come up, and the roads inside the park have also installed street lights, but in the end, the lights are scarce, and only the administrative office building celebrates the official opening, and every room from top to bottom has the lights on, which is somewhat brightly lit.

Standing on the yacht and looking at the administrative office building of the park in the dark, it is particularly dazzling.

"How can they have so much money in their hands?" Lu Jianchao looked into the distance with some gloomy eyes, and couldn't help but ask in doubt.

However, there was no one around him who could answer his question accurately.

Dongsheng's investment in Kanem is mainly carried out by listed companies, and there will be financial announcements every quarter, and even foreign investment plans will be disclosed in a timely manner.

In addition to the local investors in Dongsheng and Longdi led by the Felician family and the Sika family, Xie Sipeng is still the strongest among the twenty or thirty Chinese investors who have entered Longta.

In addition to Xie Sipeng, the other Chinese businessmen who entered Longta are also the other nine gold mine investors. At present, the nine Chinese enterprises in the Conero Lake Industrial Park have a total investment of 3 million US dollars, and four investors who have invested in limestone, silicate mines and other mining industries

The amount of capital is more than 3 million US dollars.

At present, the international gold price has risen rapidly, and in late January it has risen to more than $530 per ounce, an increase of 30 percent compared with last year's low.

All that comes out of this is pure profit.

For example, the net profit of the Jonai gold mine in the past year may have been only 6.7 million US dollars, but if the international gold price can maintain the current level, their net profit this year will soar to 2 million US dollars.

Now more people want to invest in the gold mine in Longta, but it is a pity that nearly 200 square kilometers of mining rights near Ibogu are monopolized by the Ibogu gold mine; after the international gold price continued to rise, Xie Sipeng and his team quickly learned to apply for prospecting rights in the region, and then combined with the land contract in the mining area and other means, the mining rights in their respective mining areas and nearby areas were legally monopolized.

The scope of the gold veins in Longta is not particularly large, mainly concentrated in the northern hills, and is currently almost monopolized by eleven small gold mining companies led by the Ibogu gold mine, and it is difficult for other investors to enter it.

At a time when the international gold price is rising rapidly, Xie Sipeng and his family will mainly consider expanding gold mining even if they have excess funds to invest, and it is hard to imagine that they will transfer their limited funds to hydropower development on a large scale.

The Filician family, or the Sika family, seems to have made a huge profit from the cement storm and used it to invest in new cement plants, but where did the nearly $20 million in construction funds come from, which started the construction of more than a dozen small and medium-sized hydropower stations at the same time before the year?

"Shen Ji went to Draculamo before and said that Dongsheng planned to invest in small hydropower with 50 million US dollars, but Dongsheng's senior management had different opinions, and now there is no clear conclusion, maybe this is Shen Ji or Chen Rong's funds raised from other places?" Yao Haiming guessed suspiciously.

Yao Haiming, who is in charge of the Taihua Industrial Park and Hugang Wharf project, has been focusing on Longta for the past three or four months, but even if he tries to maintain a personal relationship with Niu Genxi of the China Earth Group's branch in Ka, he knows from Niu Genxi that the general scale of investment in the hydropower station group in the upper reaches of the Lujiaochuan River is the general scale of investment.

At present, the total investment of the hydropower station group in the upper reaches of the Lujiaochuan River has reached 50 million US dollars.

The initial investment of US$12 million was invested by the Felician Family Power Company, the Yeyang Gorge Medium-sized Hydropower Station was built by the China Earth Group on behalf of the Felician Family Power Company, and the newly launched more than 10 small and medium-sized hydropower stations were invested by Conero Energy Investment Co., Ltd. with an investment scale of US$20 million.

The legal person and major shareholder of Conero Energy Investment Co., Ltd. are Cao Mo, which is also easy to verify, but they can't find out the source of funds of Conero Energy Investment Co., Ltd.

However, Cao Mo's background, family background and even the relationship with Chen Rong, the director of Dongsheng Group, they have already figured it out, whether it is Yao Haiming or Huang Hebin, they don't really think that Cao Mo, who was just a grassroots employee of Dongsheng more than a year ago, can really get a contribution of 20 million US dollars.

They are more inclined to believe that the shares of Conero Energy Investment Co., Ltd. are held by Cao Modai.

It is too normal for China to hold shares on behalf of others, or to entrust shareholdings, which is also common in Draculamo. For example, the Lu family's shares in the Lana Dere Beach casino are actually held on behalf of others, and will not publicly let the regulators and small and medium-sized stocks know that the Lu family, as the majority shareholder of the listed company Taihua, participates in the operation of overseas casinos.

In other words, even if Cao Moming is the legal person and major shareholder of Conero Energy Investment Co., Ltd., he is just an agent or puppet in their eyes.

The actual investor or fundraiser behind Conero Energy Investment Co., Ltd., Yao Haiming is more inclined to think that it is Shen Ji.

Otherwise, it is difficult to explain that during New Year's Day, Shen Ji would personally rush to Dracula to replace Cao Mo.

Of course, Chen Rong may also be involved......
