Chapter 35: Persuasion

(Thank you for the alliance leader's support every night, there is a change tonight...... )

In the evening, the old chief Felician invited Cao Mo and Song Yuqing to dinner, and Cao Mo directly mentioned President Buhari's recent emphasis on strengthening local tax powers, hoping that the two sides would pay the 3% surplus directly into the Lunta district treasury.

The old chief's expression was very calm, and his intuition told Cao Mo that he did not reject this plan because he had been targeted and suppressed by local law enforcement agencies for a long time.

Ojosan Felician Jr. apparently did not intend to use the money directly to establish a closer relationship with the Patriotic Construction Front, but wanted to pay it directly into the Lonta district treasury.

What a delicate and complicated father-son relationship.

Song Yuqing was pulled out by Lily to see the local dress she chose, Cao Mo was sure of the old chief's supportive attitude, and also said to Ojo Sang bluntly:

"I will invest in the Lonta area, and it is inevitable that I will pursue profits, but I am also willing to contribute to the construction of the Ibogu tribe. When you return to the tribe, little Mr. Felician, you should also see that I have this sincere intention. At the same time, I also think that it is not limited to this, any foreign company that develops in Lonta has an obligation to the construction and development of the Lonta area, so I think that even if the Ibogu Gold Mine is obliged to give another part of the profits, it should be ...... to the Lonta area."

Little Felician was silent and did not speak, his dark face with a chocolate complexion, it was difficult for ordinary people to distinguish the subtle changes in his expression, but Cao Mo knew it very well.

Little Felician was hesitant and groaned.

Why hesitate, but not a clear will to object?

Did he feel that it was the right thing to do, but he could not give an account of Abacha's entrustment? Or did the regional organizations of the Patriotic Construction Front desperately need the money?

"Mr. Abacha believes that he can understand my good intentions......" Cao Mo continued to say tentatively.

At this moment, the subtle change in little Felician's expression made Cao Mo feel that little Felician's focus was to complete Abacha's personal entrustment, but he didn't care much about whether the Lonta regional organization of the Patriotic Construction Front could get the money.

Since Abacha entrusted little Felician to come forward to discuss this matter, this money should not go into his personal pocket, so is it beneficial to promote Abacha's personal position within the patriotic construction front?

"Of course, I am well aware that Mr. Abacha is bent on bringing this about in order to elevate his position within the Patriotic Construction Front,"

Cao Mo said this tentatively, seeing that little Felician's eyes obviously showed a look of shock and confusion, obviously not understanding why he could easily see through this intention, then he felt more confident in his heart, and continued,

"With my superficial understanding of Kanem, Mr. Abacha should support our choice if he really wants to strengthen his position within the Patriotic Construction Front. After all, his position within the Patriotic Construction Front is fundamentally determined by the degree of popularity and respect he has in Lonta, and secondarily by the opinion of other members of the regional organization of the Patriotic Construction Front. Personally, I would like to establish a close friendship with Mr. Abacha, and I would like to ask Mr. Abacha to preside over the development and investment of such tribal farms. If you can, please ask little Mr. Felician to help me communicate with Mr. Abacha......"

"Okay. Little Felician Ojosan was a little frustrated, and he didn't know how he could be persuaded so easily.

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

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

"How did you convince Ojosan?"

Cao Mo said goodbye to the old chief and drove back to the mine from the tribe, Song Yuqing asked Cao Mo curiously.

Ojosan and Abacha have a very close personal relationship, Ojosan did not resist much, and easily agreed to communicate with Abacha, so there will obviously be no major problems on Abacha's side.

"I'll tell him what you analyzed, after all, it's in the interests of the Felician family to do so," Cao Mo said with a smile, "Now it's up to Ojosan to convince Abacha." ”

"What kind of special function do you have, mind reading, then tell me what I'm thinking?" Song Yuqing asked Cao Mo sideways.

"Not trying to seduce me anyway. Cao Mo joked.

"Phew!" Song Yuqing scolded, "You little brat, I'm going to seduce you?"

Back at the mine, Kabuja handed over today's gold mining data to Cao Mo.

"Mining so much sand gold in a day? Guo Jian's estimate is less than half of this!" Song Yuqing was startled when she saw that the output of sand gold today alone was as high as more than 600 grams.

"The amount of gold mining is unstable, it is high today, it is not usually so high, but no matter what, it is not all my ......," Cao Mo said vaguely.

"Mr. Cao ......" Someone greeted Cao Mo in the dimly lit place outside the house.

This is not the case in Africa, where the light is a little darker, and it is difficult for the locals to notice until they approach it, and a loud greeting or baring of white teeth can startle people.

Cao Mo saw that it was Ed, whom he had selected to assist Owema in managing logistics, and motioned for him to come into the house and talk.

Ed used to be a very ordinary worker in the gold mining team, in the eyes of the villagers, he was a little oily and slick, not practical enough, and Owema didn't like him, but Cao Mo contacted him a few times and found that he was flexible and cheerful from a domestic point of view, but he was very solid in his work.

The problem is that the Ibogu tribe is still too conservative and traditional, and young people like Ed are destined to be ostracized, and even Potu and Parry, who first came to Cao Mo's side with curiosity and self-motivation, are not very popular with the villagers.

Sam, another assistant to Owema in charge of the infrastructure team, has a somewhat dull personality and does not like to socialize much, but he is related to the old chief, and after receiving primary education, he also went to the town of Longta to study vocational training school, which is considered a high-ranking talent of the Ibo tribe.

Cao Mo used these four people, except for Sam, Owema had opinions about the other three, but now the mine is managed in an orderly manner, and Owema has nothing to say.

Ed is a small man, holding a pair of yellow-haired puppies in his arms and handing them to Cao Mo, and happily said to Cao Mo: "This kind of lion hound is famous in our Oyo state, I heard that Sanched has puppies out of the nest, and today I quickly drove over after work and hugged two back......"

After the incident of corrupt police breaking in and blackmailing, Cao Mo realized that if he didn't want to keep a low profile, the Ibogu Gold Mine would be able to avoid the attention of the criminal gangs, and even if people were staring at the Felician family, he would actually lose the most.

The time has come for serious consideration to enhance safety in mining areas.

Cao Mo has always paid great attention to prevention, in addition to Kabuja and Ovema, there will be six to eight workers on duty in shifts at night, and there is no condition to build a fence for the time being, he first dug a drainage ditch around the perimeter, in addition to him, there are four legal guns in the mining area; the only way in and out of the mining area has to pass through the tribe, and it will also be blocked at night to prevent outside vehicles from breaking in directly.

However, if you really know how chaotic law and order is in Kanem, you know that these measures are not foolproof.

Cao Mo heard that the local lion hunting dog is famous for its bravery and good at fighting but docile to family members, so he asked Ed and them to help pay attention to whether there are puppies in the nearby area, but he didn't expect the young lion hunting dog to be so inconspicuous.

"It's so cute!" Song Yuqing hugged the two puppies of Yellow Velvet.

This kind of lion hound is said to weigh more than 100 catties when it grows up, but Cao Mo doesn't see Song Yuqing's chest at this time.

It can't be that Ed has been blinded, right?

At this time, Kabuja and Owema came running when they heard the sound, but they were knowledgeable, and happily said that the two lion hounds were of a very good breed, and that they were not enough to bite any two or three robbers, and legend has it that the three lion hounds dared to fight with a lion without falling behind.

Owema's niece, who is currently a full-time cook and nanny in the mine, brought a cardboard box as a kennel at this time, but there was no food suitable for puppies, so she had to mash some biscuits and soak them into a paste to feed......
