Guo Jian took Xu Sheng and Xu Ling's uncle and nephew to run in Longta for a month or two, and it was not purely busy.

In addition to taking a large number of pictures and materials, they also found a large number of local geological materials in Longta, and also sent these materials back to China, inviting domestic experts to study and help find countermeasures.

This time, they came over with a relatively clear idea, and they also brought a lot of pictures and materials, which were directly compared with the rock formations and landforms near the ancient gold mine in Yibo.

Three hours later, Xie Sipeng, Xu Sheng and others, who were eager to turn the Yibogu mining area upside down, called it a day and walked back to the wooden house.

Looking at their expressions, his intuition told Cao Mo that they had locked up several key areas nearby.

Draculamo's Chinese circle is so big, Cao Mo doesn't want to offend all the people in this circle, and is ready to invite them to dine in the tribe, and the fish and shrimp in the Lujiaochuan River are also a must.

And these days, Cao Mo also asked two cooks hired from the tribe to try to plant some vegetables in a clearing at the edge of the forest.

Although the growth is not gratifying, there are several varieties with a relatively short growth period that can already be picked and eaten, and it is still conditional to make a Chinese meal that meets the taste of Chinese here.

Xu Sheng and Xie Sipeng were in a hurry to leave, on the one hand, the road was not easy to walk after dark, and they needed to rush back to Longta Town to stay, on the other hand, there were nearby tribes, and there were indeed locations very similar to the rock formations of the Yibo Ancient Gold Mine, and they wanted to seize the time to negotiate with the tribes over there to conduct sampling and testing, so as to consolidate the harvest results of this trip as soon as possible.

Seeing that they were in a hurry to leave, Cao Mo didn't hold on anymore, sent them to the entrance of the tribe's village, and said, "Then I'm here to wish Mr. Xie a good harvest......

"What equipment do you want to buy, you can look for it now, and when you go back to Draculamo in two days, you will come to me, sign a loan agreement, and I will directly transfer the money to your company account. Xie Sipeng also patted Cao Mo's shoulder happily and said.

They saw that the conditions in the mine were too poor and the workers were quite lazy, and their contact with the workers also confirmed that Cao Mo's claim that Cao Mo provided equipment and technical services for the Philippy family was true, and that the specific people in charge of the production and operation management of the mine were local blacks, but in any case, Cao Mo's cooperation with the locals was still solid and reliable.

Besides, they haven't been able to take root in Longta yet, and Xie Sipeng won't be in a hurry to regret what they promised.

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

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

The $200,000 loan that Xie Sipeng promised was crucial to the early development of the mining area.

It took Cao Mo two days to readjust the list of equipment and materials that needed to be purchased in the near future, and also asked Lucy to contact relevant suppliers to inquire about the supply situation.

$200,000 is not much.

If you want to buy a commercial house in Xinhai City in 04 years, you can only choose outside the second ring road.

Kanem's industrial products and mechanical and electrical engineering equipment are all dependent on imports, which are expensive, and Cao Mo's equipment can be purchased with this amount of money is quite limited.

Good steel should be used on the blade, and Cao Mo hopes that the blade can immediately come in handy and play a role to help him cut through thorns and thorns, and all the equipment is naturally purchased from cash.

If there is second-hand, try to pick second-hand as much as possible, after all, the price is low.

Those equipment that will take a month or two or even longer to ship from China after paying the full amount is not within Cao Mo's consideration for the time being, no matter how favorable the price is.

In addition to the introduction of new machinery and equipment, the construction of supporting facilities in the mining area can be carried out immediately, and even the scale of construction can be increased.

After these preparations were completed, Cao Mo rushed back to Draculamo with Kabuja, Portu and others, and found Xie Sipeng, who had just returned from Longta, to sign the loan agreement.

After the loan agreement was notarized, Xie Sipeng also readily remitted $200,000 directly to the account of Cao Mo Equipment Leasing Company.

The procurement of an excavator, a rock drill for placing explosives in the rock formation, a medium-sized gravel sand making machine, a second-hand dump truck, a second-hand diesel generator and other equipment was negotiated as soon as possible and successively transported by the supplier to Yibo Ancient Village.

Cao Mo also ruthlessly bought a satellite mobile phone this time.

The $180,000 was gone.

And this money is spent, so that the Ibogu gold mine has a little bit like a mining company.

Kanem's driver's license and special equipment operation license are quite easy to apply.

I went to the town of Longta, found the relevant institutions, paid the fee to get the application form, filled it out and submitted it, made an appointment for the exam, and it could be distributed soon.

The exam is also quite lenient, and if you don't want to take the exam, you can tip the examiner and pass the test.

Not only Cao Mo and Kabuja, but also Botu and Pari and six other young people from the ancient village of Yibo who have received primary education have already obtained the corresponding qualifications.

However, the training time that Cao Mo paid them to receive from the construction site was actually not very long, and the operation was still a little rusty.

Fortunately, after the equipment arrived, Cao Mo didn't think about it and increased the output, so that Botu and Parry could hurry up and familiarize themselves with the operation of the equipment first, and step up their learning and maintenance.

Cao Mo was also worried about the operation error, and overturned a piece of equipment weighing seven or eight tons or even more than ten tons into the Lujiao River, and it was impossible to ask the crane to come over to help, Cao Mo was reluctant to pay the money, and could only ask the old chief Felician to come forward and mobilize the men, women and children of the tribe to come and help.

New equipment was successively transported into the mining area and put into use, and at this time, with the surplus in the early stage, Cao Mo still had 70,000 US dollars in his hand for the infrastructure construction of the mining area.

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

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

The new equipment was put into use, and the results were quite immediate.

Even though Botu and Parry were still rusty and cautious about the operation of the new equipment, by mid-September, the daily output of the Ebogu gold mine had stabilized at more than 300 grams of gold, which was double the previous amount.

In addition to equipment investment, although the daily consumption of diesel and other materials has also increased significantly, the profit increase is even greater.

In order to avoid the conflict between rock gold mining and placer gold mining, the operation site of placer gold mining was re-transferred to the lower reaches of the Lujiao River for 200 meters.

Cao Mo estimates that even if new engineering mining equipment is not added, when the mining area is initially constructed, various processes will be further sorted out smoothly, labor discipline will be further strengthened, and the daily output of full-color gold should be stable at about 500 grams.

More importantly, the associated riverbed placer deposits near the rock gold mine gradually increase in gold content as the soil layer is dug deeper and deeper – of course, once the bedrock layer is dug, the placer gold is also mined.

The Ibogu gold mine still has the potential to continue to develop, and in the process, he will continue to use the profits to purchase equipment and expand production, and the output value of the mine will be even higher in the next year.

Cao Mo couldn't help but sigh at this time, could it be that when people in the city saw others spending money indiscriminately, they would say "Your family opened a gold mine"!

A single excavator is much more efficient, and with the addition of rock drills and dump trucks, the original gold mining team only needs to retain 30 people to maintain the current stage of gold mining.

Except for seven or eight young people who have received primary education, they have been trained as specialized warehousing logistics management and equipment maintenance, and the others have been temporarily incorporated into the infrastructure construction team.

The infrastructure construction team has expanded to more than 50 people at once, and the progress of the construction of the mining area has also increased rapidly.

Gold mining is still the most important job, and Cao Mo is mainly in charge of Kabuja, Potu and Parry.

Owema, with the help of two other young men, Sam and Ed, is responsible for managing logistics and infrastructure.

Of course, most of the things are Cao Mo who learns first, the mortar stumbling, how to look vertical and horizontal when building stone walls, he has to learn first, and then teach the workers below hand in hand - the heart is very tired.

Fortunately, there is a tradition of building wooden houses in the local area, and there are still a few young adults in the tribe who can do carpentry, which can barely be regarded as ingenious and learn quickly.

With the exception of Lily, who is attending school in Katba, few people in the tribe have received vocational education at the upper intermediate or equivalent levels, which is a major headache.

The settlements in the ancient village of Ibo are relatively scattered, and the vicinity of the old chief's house and the temple can be the most concentrated settlement of the tribe, with more than 20 households, but the scale of the tribe is actually not small, with a total of more than 2,000 people.

Felician and Owema, who were old soldiers from the military junta, had little education themselves, but they still managed to set up a school when they returned to the tribe.

Overall, 30 to 40 percent of the younger generation of the tribe has received basic education, and more than 10 percent has received primary education – a level of universal education that is almost unique in the municipality of Lonta.

Of the more than 90 workers employed by the miners, the proportion of workers receiving basic education is still quite high, and more than 30 percent of the workers have received primary education.

There is still a huge gap between primary education in Kanem, especially in the remote areas of Kanem, and primary education in China.

On the whole, however, a large tribe of more than 2,000 people, selected thirty or fifty people with primary education, to receive vocational training, which is still quite simple, and there are no obstacles, and they can grow up quickly.

These people just didn't have the opportunity to get a better education, not because they were intellectually deficient.

However, when the local development and education are so backward, they can persist until they complete primary education, which shows that their families, the importance of education and their own efforts are still quite good.

Cao Mo had no capital and confidence before, so he could only worry about everything himself.

He had been idle enough in Draculamo for a long time, and he was young, and he had just taken over the Ibogu gold mine, and he was full of energy, and he could still endure the hardships after more than three months.

Now that the funds are more abundant and the output of the gold mine is steadily increasing, Cao Mo hired two teachers from the town of Longta and borrowed the tribe's school to teach night lessons to the workers in the mine.

Although the investment of hoeing in the east and raking in the west has encroached on Cao Mo's part of the profits, if he doesn't want to make a handful of profits, he will leave, thinking about the long-term development in Yibo Ancient Village, and some things are done as soon as possible.

Otherwise, when the mine wants to further add equipment and expand the scale, it will find that the manpower will become more and more stretched in terms of equipment operation and mine management.

However, at the beginning of his career, he used all the locals from the management to the ordinary employees, and in the later stage of development, he thought about recruiting professionals from China to forcibly replace the positions of Kabuja, Pari, Potu, Owema and others to take over the management of the mining area......

Of course, the cost of hiring professional managers from within the country is also too high.

For example, he is just an ordinary employee in Dongsheng, but Dongsheng Group dispatched him to Draculamo, salary, overseas allowance, accommodation subsidy, annual round-trip air ticket subsidy, and social security provident fund, etc., the annual investment in him alone will exceed 200,000 yuan.

Dongsheng invests more than 300,000 yuan in overseas grassroots managers like Guo Jian every year, and more than 500,000 yuan in overseas middle-level managers like Yang Deshan.

How much does he have to invest in hiring professional managers from China?

Cao Mo plans to increase the monthly salaries of Kabuja, Owema, and Lucy to 600 US dollars in two more months, and the sum of the three of them is only about 200,000 yuan a year.

And this income is not to mention in Longta, and in Draculamo, it is also considered a gold-collar class, but the local employees are only descendants of well-educated colonists, and they can get such salaries in European and American companies, and Kabuja and Lucy have no chance.

Social security, provident fund?

Kabuja, Owema, and Lucy will be anxious with whoever dares to mention this to him at this time!

Is he really here to engage in socialist construction?
