Chapter 70: Dinner (2)
Yang Deshan stubbornly said to Cao Mo: "Cao Mo, you can give Mr. Shen and Mr. Chen a little more details about the contact with the various plantations in Longta-no matter how detailed it is, your sentence is too simple......
"Do you want to tell more about the situation?"
Cao Mo was a little surprised, scratched his forehead, and opened his mouth to blow nonsense,
"At present, I have come into contact with more than 20 plantations in Longta, such as Sika, Adete, Chabe, Cassio, Conero, etc., and have a certain intention of supplying oil palm fields to our Dongsheng, with a total planting area of more than 6,000 acres, almost less than 40,000 acres. The oil palm fruit they had previously produced was mainly sent to a crushing plant in Catelo, the capital of the state of Oyo, at a lower purchase price than the Dracula Mill and at a high cost of transportation. The plantations are now working together to push for a new road in the Lunta area, between the Sika plantation and the northern suburbs of Draculamo, on the north side of our Dongsheng mill, with the aim of supplying their oil palm fruit directly to Draculamo's mill. I was thinking that if we Dongsheng could donate a sum of money to help them speed up the construction of this road, we should be eighty or ninety percent sure that we would be able to sign all of them......"
Listening to Cao Mo's nonsense, Song Yuqing couldn't help but stare at him, the road construction funds in front of him were actually basically from Dongsheng, Cao Mo was so shameless at this time that he still wanted to extort another sum.
"There's a road under construction north of the mill?" asked Wang Jianzhong, a little surprised.
At the southern end of the Lunta-Draculamo road, a concrete bridge is built to connect to the gravel road inside the Tubman family plantation, two kilometres from the Tubman mill where the harvest is harvested in Dongsheng.
However, Wang Jianzhong was also frightened by the poor security environment of Draculamore, led the team to enter the press plant, and occasionally went back to the dormitory of the branch to rest or have a meeting, and lacked effective communication with local employees, and was indifferent to local news.
The biggest difference is that Yang Deshan and Guo Jian shrank up and pushed Cao Mo out to work, while Wang Jianzhong and they don't have to work as logistics support now.
Wang Jianzhong: He really didn't know that the Lunta-Draculamo improvised highway had already been prepared for implementation.
"......" Cao Mo spread his hands, did not forget to pour a bowl of arsenic cream into Wang Jianzhong's mouth, and said, "Wang is always in charge of big things, and these small things will inevitably not be paid attention to, but whether this road is under construction or not, just north of Tubman Plantation, I can't say it out of thin air." ”
"40,000 acres of plantations, corresponding to the annual production capacity of more than 8,000 tons of palm oil, if you can ensure that you can sign it and donate a part of the road construction funds, it is not impossible - this, the branch can consider grasping it," Shen Ji knew that there were so many flowers and intestines underneath, seeing that Cao Mo and Wang Jianzhong really didn't deal with each other, he directly took over the topic and said, "The group is currently hoping to expand the oil palm crushing capacity of Kanem, and lay a solid foundation, and I don't expect you to deliver much ......profit to the group in two or three years."
"Cao Mo, since you have done a lot of solid work in Longta in the early stage, can you arrange one or two plantations in Longta tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and we will accompany Mr. Chen and Mr. Shen to visit the site?" Wang Jianzhong couldn't ask Cao Mo to feed him medicine so easily, and suggested.
In the group, Chen Rongming's position is higher than Shen Ji's, and he even holds shares in Dongsheng, but Shen Ji is currently cultivated as an heir, which is equivalent to one of Dongsheng's princes.
As Shen Ji's dogleg, Wang Jianzhong doesn't need to look at Chen Rong's face too much, and according to Chen Rong, Cao Mo can only be regarded as an ordinary nephew of hers.
If Cao Mo makes any mistakes in her work and takes care of Chen Rong's face, everyone will not care; even if Cao Mo sneaks and cheats in the branch in the future and doesn't work, she will get a salary for nothing, and everyone can pinch their noses and endure it.
However, the supply agreement involving 40,000 acres of oil palm land and a total of more than 20 million yuan per year, and the West African branch at a deeper level, cannot be too weak.
"Mr. Wang still thinks I'm talking in vain? Mr. Shen and Mr. Chen are here, if I can donate 350,000 U.S. dollars in road construction funds, let alone visit the plantation, I guess there is no problem in signing the supply agreement directly. Cao Mo didn't give Wang Jianzhong any face at all, and said directly to the general.
Seeing that Cao Mo was working against Wang Jianzhong everywhere, Shen Ji did not express dissatisfaction.
When he arrived in Dongsheng, although he started directly from the top level of the grain and oil department, he also knew very well that the personnel relationship below was more complicated, and he also knew very well that he blindly supported his own people and suppressed the company's veteran backbone, maybe in a few days, his uncle would talk to him.
He discussed with Yang Deshan and Wang Jianzhong in a low voice for a while, and said to Cao Mo: "If I come here this time, I can really sign a part of the agreement, and the branch can indeed directly donate a part of the road construction funds." ”
The annual supply agreement for 8,000 tons of oil palm fruit involves a transaction volume of nearly 30 million yuan, and it is not unacceptable to allocate 1% of the annual transaction volume to improve the relationship with the local government.
Of course, it is impossible for capitalists to take money out for charity for no reason.
Shen Ji made it clear that a supply agreement could be signed, even if it was a part of it first, and that the construction of this road would indeed facilitate the supply of crushing plants from Longta.
"I'll first contact the officials in the Lonta region that I have contacted before to see if they can take the lead in matchmaking. Cao Mo said.
He always felt that the current construction plan for the two cement bridges was too simple, and if the mismanagement caused an accident involving overloaded and overrun vehicles breaking the bridge, Abacha would become very passive in his political career.
Now that he can get an extra $350,000 from Dongsheng, of course he has to actively strive for it.
He even considered donating an additional 1,200 tons of cement from the cement plant to make the bridge look less thin.
Cao Mo directly took out his mobile phone, dialed Abacha's satellite phone, and told him that Dongsheng's high-level visit to Draculamo intends to donate an additional amount of road construction funds, but on the one hand, it is necessary to clearly see the design and construction materials of the Ronta-Draculamo road and the current progress, and at the same time, he also wants to tie up with the oil palm fruit supply agreement, and ask him to help contact several plantation owners, and it is best to have a clear answer the day after tomorrow.
It's so easy to match.
Da Sika and several nearby plantation owners were quickly knocked out of a sum of money by Abacha in the hope of selling the oil palm fruit to Draculamo, a small mill with a plantation, which not only has a simple process, but also wants to export the coarsely pressed palm oil from Port Draculamo overseas in the shortest distance.
For this reason, Dasika and others are particularly concerned about the progress of the construction of the Lonta-Draculamo road.
Now there are ready-made buyers, Dongsheng can actually directly purchase qualified crude palm oil to be packaged and sold in China, as long as the purchase price is fair and fair, why should the Sika, Adet and other families refuse, and who is not selling to sell?
Could it be that Dongsheng donated an extra amount of road construction funds, are they too hot?
Cao Mo did not mention this matter to Yang Deshan before, first, the simple highway was not completed, and second, the second phase of the expansion was only a preparatory period, and when it was officially launched, it was not up to them to decide, the decision was in the Overseas Investment Division, and it could even be said that it was in the hands of Shen Ji.
Now that Shen Ji is here, he is willing to formally purchase oil palm fruit and even coarse palm oil at any point in time, and he is qualified to make a decision, so the matter can be discussed directly.
Cao Mo actually has ready-made information on the design of the Lonta-Draculamo simple road and the plantations of the Sika family, but after Cao Mo asked Abacha to contact him, he sent someone to send a copy of the information overnight, which was evaluated by Yang Deshan and Wang Jianzhong in person, and it also seemed that the whole matter was more formal and serious.
Seeing that Cao Mo connected the matter very neatly, Wang Jianzhong naturally had nothing to say.
Shen Ji smiled and said to Chen Rong: "Aunt Rong really misunderstood Cao Mo today, seeing that he is still very effective in his work in Kanem!"
It was almost ten o'clock, Shen Ji and the others were going to rest, and Yang Deshan and Wang Jianzhong took everyone to say goodbye and leave.
Song Yuqing didn't get along alone with Zhou Jun, so she returned to the dormitory directly with everyone.
Everyone is naturally very strange about this, but after all, this is a private matter between Song Yuqing and Zhou Jun.
Except for Wang Wen's eager expression to open his mouth to ask, everyone else can still suppress their curiosity.
............
............
At eleven o'clock in the evening, Abacha personally rushed to Draculamo with the relevant materials.
In addition to the Sika family's plantations, he also contacted four other companies, totaling more than 24,000 acres of oil palm land, all of which could directly sign supply agreements with the Tubman mill.
Although the initial acquisition of the Tubman Crushing Plant was brokered by Abacha, it was just before Wang Jianzhong arrived in Draculamo, and Cao Mo helped Yang Deshan facilitate the whole thing, but this was the first time Wang Jianzhong met with Abacha.
The construction of the Downta-Draculamo improvised highway has indeed begun, and it is true that so many supply agreements can be attached to the second phase expansion of the crushing plant, and Wang Jianzhong has nothing to say.
The materials were handed over to Wang Jianzhong to stay up late to study, and Yang Deshan and Cao Mo sent Abacha to the hotel.
In order to facilitate the direct meeting tomorrow, Yang Deshan also arranged for Abacha to stay directly at the Lana Dere Hotel.
Because tomorrow will arrange for Shen Ji, Chen Rong and others to participate in the Tubman family plantation, and they will meet with little Tubman, so it is impossible to hide the matter of Abacha's matchmaking transaction in the first place.
Of course, there is nothing wrong with this matter at all.
Doing the market in China, relying on a local official to take the lead in liaison, and secretly promising benefits, are all normal ways to carry out work, and even be regarded as a kind of ability.
Abacha is young and has a political future, the Sika family has a deep background in Longta, Cao Mo has a close friendship with him, and relying on him to do some things is not a shortcoming that will be blamed.
For the group, it is also possible to see how much profit can be contributed below.
Even Cao Mo directly matched Dongsheng and the Sika family to carry out closer interest bundling and cooperation, there is no problem.
This is also the reason why Yang Deshan insisted on accompanying Cao Mo to send Abacha to the hotel, and when he got in the car, he did not shy away from saying: "The group also hopes to directly purchase a certain area of oil palm plantations in Kanem - the state now encourages enterprises to invest overseas in Africa, and the Export-Import Bank of China also has corresponding low-interest loans every year......
Listening to Yang Deshan's explanation, Cao Mo understood what was going on.
Truth be told, the crude press equipment for palm oil is very simple, and the investment is very limited.
Not to mention the annual crushing capacity of 20,000 tons, even if it is an annual crushing capacity of 100,000 tons, the investment in building a factory will not cost two or three hundred million yuan.
With Dongsheng's status and ability, he can borrow $200 million from the Export-Import Bank to invest in the sea.
Buying plantations outright, or even renting land to grow oil palm trees, has a low yield, but the problem is that the cost of capital used to acquire them is lower.
This money does not occupy Dongsheng's own cash flow, and can only be used for overseas project investment, even if there is only a difference in income of four or five points, multiplied by the base of 200 million US dollars, it is tens of millions of dollars a year.
At present, Dongsheng Group is mainly engaged in three relatively traditional industries: grain and oil, building materials and real estate, and is not a particularly large private enterprise in China, but its annual net profit is 1.4 billion yuan.
If the West Africa branch can really make good use of the low-interest loan line of 200 million US dollars and contribute tens of millions of dollars of income to the group every year, accounting for almost 5% of the group's total net profit, Yang Deshan will still be qualified to concurrently serve as the vice president of the overseas investment department, not to mention that his position in the West Africa branch has been stabilized.
And the position that Yang Deshan sits in is directly linked to the income he can contribute to the group.
The problem is that many traditional families in Kanem have a history of operating palm plantations for hundreds of years, and basically have quite stable incomes regardless of whether they are good or bad, but Dongsheng wants to acquire tens of thousands of acres or even hundreds of thousands of acres of plantations, but it is not easy.
Yang Deshan has not been able to find a breakthrough in the suburbs of Draculamo during this period, and since he talks about signing a supply agreement from the plantations in the Lunta area, he wants to see if there is any possibility of directly buying oil palm land from Lunta......
