Since Mrs. Cao brought Xiao Jun and his parents over, Cao Mo also wanted to strike while the iron was hot and twist the last bit of awkwardness in Xiao Jun's mother's heart.

When this side is cleaned up, he asks everyone to go to Tianzifang's house for dinner.

Cao Mo returned to China, the time was in a hurry, and every day he was not sure whether he would eat at home or who he would accompany to eat, but the family would always prepare sufficient ingredients in case of emergency.

Tianzifang is very successful in cultural tourism.

When the lights are on, the main street is already bustling with activity, and through the glass windows, you can see that the shops on the street are already overcrowded.

However, when I walked through the main street full of fireworks and walked to the end of the street, it was quiet again.

In addition to a few high-end meals and private clubs hidden in the middle, most of them are residents who like the living atmosphere here.

The gate of No. 116-118 is also quite unpretentious, not too luxurious, but when you open the courtyard door and enter the front patio courtyard, there is extraordinary elegance.

The courtyard wall is made of marble, and the fish-mouth-like stone carving has a column of water spit out and falls into a circular tank, where dozens of koi fish swim happily, and the water of the pond passes under the wooden corridor of the living room and the side room, and only a narrow side is exposed.

The courtyard is still too narrow, there is no plant decoration, and a few bottles of copper cranes stand in the fish tank, which looks very quiet.

And through the front hall, seeing the self-contained backyard near the river, as well as the tea rooms and restaurants on both sides of the courtyard, Zhao Qianyun really understood why Cao Mo couldn't look down on the two super-large apartments in Heming Garden.

Cao Mo's stay in China is uncertain, and he doesn't know if there will be any situation in Africa at any time, so he will rush to the front as much as possible if there is anything in the country, and he will temporarily invite Guo Donghu and Chen Shu over at night.

Chen Shu is the father of Lu Yan's ex-fiancée Chen Yao, and one of the major shareholders of the former Taihua Group.

After Cao Mo teamed up with Qian Wenhan, Ding Zhaoqiang and others to take over Taihua Group, Chen Shu was retained as senior vice president of the listed company, responsible for the original chemical pipeline and pump equipment manufacturing business.

Cao Mo is now thinking about taking advantage of the city's industrial retreat plan to separate the chemical pipeline and pump equipment manufacturing business from the listed company, so he has to listen to the opinions of Chen Shu, the person in charge of this business.

Hearing Cao Mo's plan in the study, Chen Shu was somewhat shocked.

Guo Donghu was very excited when he heard that after the chemical pipeline and pump equipment manufacturing business was spun off, he would also start to put Conero Foods and Dongsheng palm oil and other related businesses into listed companies.

Guo Donghu opposed the placement of Conero Foods into Dongsheng Group from the beginning, hoping that this piece of business, which he was highly responsible for, could one day be integrated into the listed company that Tianyue really directly controlled.

In this way, he does not compete with Shen Ji, Yang Deshan, Xie Sipeng, Chen Feng, Xu Bin and others, but he is always Tianyue's descendant and important minister, and he does not have to worry that after the merger into Dongsheng, he will be marginalized personally.

Of course, Chen Shu personally also holds 3% of the shares of Tianyue Industry, Tianyue Industry is about to implement a series of industrial development plans, and the market value has risen sharply, which will definitely do more harm than good to him personally

What he is worried about is how to arrange the personnel related to the manufacturing business of chemical pipelines and pump equipment, which are all old people he knows.

Cao Mo's plan is to take advantage of the government's industrial vacancy plan, which is to directly shut down this part of the industry that is not very competitive, and most of the employees will be dismissed after giving appropriate compensation, and these people need to find their own way out.

After all, the domestic economy is in a period of rapid development and employment is quite sufficient, but it is not easy for middle and senior management and technical personnel in the chemical industry to find suitable high-paying jobs in Xinhai immediately.

However, on the one hand, no chemical equipment manufacturing company is willing to buy manufacturing assets in Xinhai, which has high costs in all aspects, and on the other hand, the municipal government will not support Tianyue Industrial to sell this business and production base to other enterprises in order to complete the industrial retreat faster.

"Can the Volkov Petrochemical Group accept some personnel, or can it invest in the construction of a new chemical pipeline and pump equipment plant on the coast of the Gulf of Guinea, which can be smaller in scale and specifically provide supporting services for the Vorkov Petrochemical Group...... Chen Shu asked.

"If someone is willing to work in Africa, you can help them find Huang Hebin – as for building a factory, I don't rule out this possibility in principle, but the key depends on how many people are willing to go to Africa. Cao Mo said.

Xinhai's production base was vacated, and in addition to deducting the compensation for employee dismissal, the listed company could almost get about 1.2 billion yuan in compensation from the city.

In addition to the demand for various chemical pipelines and pump equipment of the Volkov Petrochemical Group, the coastal area of the Gulf of Guinea, where the development of the chemical industry is lagging behind, has a very high demand for various pump equipment for the large-scale crude oil exploitation and transportation.

In fact, to build a chemical pump and other equipment manufacturing plant in Cotonou or Draculamo, Benin, the investment is very limited, and even after the old factory here is shut down, the production equipment will be exported to Cotonou, Benin, which can also save a considerable part of the construction cost.

Cao Mo would not have been willing to do this before, after all, after all things considered, there is not much difference between building a factory in the Gulf of Guinea and building a factory in China, and the final operating cost is not much different from the final operating cost, so why did he bother with all this hard work?

However, since it is necessary to build a new and influential industrial cluster in Cotonou, Benin, it is good to invest in one more factory, but the key depends on how many technical managers of the old factory can be persuaded by Chen Shu to start the construction of a new factory in Africa.

Cao Mo can also be said to be non-stop in China, looking for Chen Shu and Guo Donghu to come over to talk about things, and received a call from Xu Bin during the meal.

Cao Mo proposed to greatly increase the annual and future R&D budget of the Turnwright, while Gu Fan hoped to invite Zheng Xiaoyuan to join the Turnwright, so as to strengthen the depth and breadth of the Turnmaker's R&D in electronics, electrical and new energy, etc., and smoothly spend the increased budget efficiently.

After Cao Mo agreed, in order to facilitate this matter during Cao Mo's time in China, Xu Bin, Gu Fan, and Huang Yijiang also went to Zheng Xiaoyuan to do work non-stop.

Zheng Xiaoyuan proposed to meet Cao Mo at this time.

In order to respect Zheng Xiaoyuan, Cao Mo immediately put down the dishes and chopsticks, pulled Xiao Jun and rushed to Jinhonghui to meet Xu Bin, Gu Fan, Huang Yijiang and Zheng Xiaoyuan.

After '08, the domestic automobile market entered the channel of ultra-high-speed development, and a considerable number of private capital set off the impulse to build cars; before '08, in addition to the establishment of a large number of joint venture brands, there were also many state-owned enterprises and private car companies that stumbled and persisted in developing to this day.

There is no shortage of domestic automobile industry base.

Zheng Xiaoyuan has been in contact with a large number of domestic car companies in the past few years after returning to China, and there are also many bold private car companies that offer high salaries and invite him to join the past.

Cao Mo's previous conditions for him cannot be considered very high, and Tianyue Industry is definitely not conspicuous among many private car companies.

However, the vast majority of private car companies are thinking of cutting into the market from low-end products, Tianyue Industry would rather give up the existing "Gray Bird" pickup truck and "Lingyu" off-road vehicle two existing models in the early stage of the domestic sales performance, but also insist on the future can directly open the domestic market with a truly reliable and excellent high-end model.

To put it bluntly, the current state-owned and private car companies' purely domestic passenger car brands are concentrated in the low-end market competition, fighting a mess, more than Tianyue family is not much, less Tianyue family is a lot, even if the end of the fight, it is impossible to kill much space.

However, Tianyue is not purely ambitious, "Gray Bird" pickup truck and "Lingyu" off-road vehicle in West Africa, where Tianyue has more market advantages, are non-stop attacking cities and grabbing land - this can not only accumulate experience in production and manufacturing for Tianyue, and accumulate more application data for vehicle research and development, but more importantly, once Tianyue can win a considerable share in the regional market, it is also helpful for brand building.

The domestic mid-to-low-end market can get 23% of the market share, and the sales scale may be equivalent to the 20% or 30% market share in the West African market, but the influence of the brand is completely different.

After all, Tianyue's pickup trucks and off-road vehicles are in direct competition with the low-end models of international brands such as Toyota and Ford in the Gulf of Guinea, and the publicity is much better.

Tianyue, on the other hand, has the conditions to participate in direct competition in the Gulf of Guinea, but not in China.

The strength of international car companies in domestic joint ventures has obvious advantages in all aspects, and the market's current high sense of recognition of joint venture brands is not something that can be broken by purely domestic cars for the time being.

Not only Cao Mo, but also Xu Bin, they all have a clear understanding of this.

In the case that Tianyue Industry's productive assets are less than one billion, Cao Mo hopes that Gu Fan and Xu Bin can invest no less than one billion yuan in vehicle technology development every year, and it is to directly track the latest technology and cut into vehicle technology development from high-end models, which is also very different from other private car companies, and it is also unimaginable for other private car companies.

In recent years of domestic economic development, the accumulation of original capital has almost been completed, but if you want to achieve a breakthrough in the field of car manufacturing, Zheng Xiao's principle is more in line with Tianyue's new thinking for development.

The development of Tianyue Industry in the past two or three years and the inclusion of the lathew, Zheng Xiaoyuan has seen the breakthrough attempt in the field of technology.

Tianyue Investment can provide firm capital backing, which is enough to ensure that Cao Mo hopes that the car maker can achieve a breakthrough in the field of new technology and new energy, which is not an impulsive short-term behavior.

Therefore, Gu Fan and Xu Bin came to the door, Zheng Xiaoyuan had already moved, but he insisted on seeing Cao Mo again, mainly because he had more complete ideas and plans than Gu Fan and Xu Bin in the development of high-end new energy models and vehicle technology integration of the latest electronic, electrical and communication technology.

Zheng Xiaoyuan has been doing pioneering work at the forefront of technology for a long time, and the depth and breadth in the field of technology development are naturally much stronger than Xu Bin and Gu Fan.

However, it is precisely like this, Cao Mo's annual budget for the Chewler, which has been greatly increased, is still not enough in Zheng Xiaoyuan's view, and he hopes that the Chewler's budget for the 10th year can be directly increased to 1.2 billion to 1.5 billion.

In this way, several high-end research projects that Zheng Xiaoyuan was engaged in at hand can be directly transferred to the car maker to continue, and even further intensify.

Of course, Zheng Xiaoyuan's joining is quite complicated.

On the one hand, it is the injection of Zheng Xiaoyuan's patented technology, on the other hand, how Zheng Xiaoyuan's research work at Xinhai University will be transferred to the lathe, and on the other hand, Zheng Xiaoyuan will also lead a group of technology research and development backbones to join, which is not something that Zheng Xiaoyuan can decide alone.

“...... I agree with your technological development route - although I still need to discuss with Sun Hung Investment and TK Securities how to inject the additional budget, but please rest assured that Tianyue Investment will make the final effort to ensure the full supply of funds. Therefore, I can now clearly invite Mr. Zheng to join the Turnwright, and authorize Mr. Zheng to negotiate all cooperation agreements with the relevant parties with Xu Bin and Gu Fan with the greatest sincerity," Cao Mo went to Jinhong to listen to Zheng Xiaoyuan's explanation of the technical development route, and unconsciously it was late at night, and said, "Mr. Zheng said that there will be great restrictions on the Turnwright's continued development in Xinhai, and I also agree with this." Chonghai's education and human resources have great potential to be tapped, and when the high-speed rail is completed, the commuting time between Chonghai and Xinhai will be shortened to less than half an hour, and I think that new laboratories and testing centers can be built in Chonghai. I'm going to Chonghai in two days, but the investigation of the new site is still mainly based on you, and how to fully tap the research potential of Chonghai University, you can get a plan......"

The construction of the second mine of the Uzan River copper-gold mine, which is planned to cost more than a billion US dollars, has been delayed indefinitely, and the follow-up investment in the industrial cluster in Cotonou, Benin, alone cannot effectively absorb the overseas accounts of Tianyue Investment and the $1.2 billion in cash that Ibogu Mining is currently holding in its hands.

Cao Mo didn't want to sleep lying on a pile of dollar bills all day, and how to find a way to spend these funds effectively was his biggest headache now.

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

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

Leaving from Jinhonghui, Cao Mo and Xiao Jun returned directly to Heming Garden.

Before going to Jinhonghui, Cao Mo also told Cheng Xi that he would live in Hemingyuan together at night, but he didn't expect it to be so late to chat.

Cheng Xi may have fallen asleep, Cao Mo didn't call, tiptoed into the door, walked into the bedroom, the night light was on, the light was hazy, and saw that both of them were covered by thick hair under the quilt, Cao Mo was stunned, or the color of the quilt was just chosen in the afternoon, and they all suspected that they were not familiar with the new home, did they go to someone else's house by mistake, how could there be two women lying on the bed?

Cao Mo uncovered the corner of the quilt and wanted to see if it was Cheng Xi who was sleeping on the side of the door, this person happened to turn around in his sleep, the seductive snow greasy and plump pushed up the nightdress, the hair was scattered, and the plump cheeks and delicate red lips were not Yu Jing.

Cao Mo hurriedly put down the horn, quietly walked to the other side, and gently patted Cheng Xi's cheek.

"You just came back, what time is it?" Cheng Xi asked in a daze.

"It's past twelve o'clock, why did you get this light bulb?" Cao Mo asked.

"I don't know when you will come back, of course I called Yu Jing and Chen Chang to come and accompany me - Chen Chang left early if he had something to do, so I left Yu Jing to stay. Cheng Xi stretched his waist and put his hands lazily around Cao Mo's neck to speak.

"Then what should I do?" Cao Mo asked, "Throw her out? It's impossible for three people to squeeze a bed, right?"

They didn't think about living here permanently, although the new house also had guest rooms and study rooms, but they didn't prepare a second set of bedding.

"......" Cheng Xi stretched out his hand and patted Cao Mo gently, glanced at him, and said, "I got a set of quilts for you from Zhao Qianyun at night and put them in the guest bedroom, don't dream sweetly!"

"Then can my wife give it back to me?" Cao Mo picked up Cheng Xi, who was "cold", from the quilt, Cheng Xi tore the quilt aside between struggles, and Yu Jing's nightdress was rolled up, revealing snow-white long legs It was also tempting.

"Hurry up and cover her quilt, it's enough to look twice!" Cheng Xi was afraid of falling, so he put his arms around Cao Mo's neck and asked him to help Yu Qian's quilt cover it firmly.

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

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

After Cao Mo woke up, he listened to someone walking outside the door, but hugged Cheng Xi's delicate and silky body, and he just didn't want to get up in the bed.

Hearing the knock on the door, Cao Mo woke up and saw that the sunlight was shining through the cracks in the curtains, it was very bright, and it was past nine o'clock.

"I made breakfast, you don't get up again, I'm going to feed the dogs!" Yu Qian shouted outside the door.

Cao Mo found that Cheng Xi was no longer around, and there was a sound of dripping water in the bathroom, so he got up slowly, but the door of the bathroom was locked by Cheng Xi from the inside, obviously not giving him the opportunity to take a mandarin duck bath, so he could only get dressed and go to the bathroom in the master bedroom to wash.

Yu Qian made toast and fried eggs, Chen Chang, who hadn't seen her yesterday, sat at the dining table with a laptop computer to read the information, Cao Mo asked Yu Qian curiously: "Cheng Xi and I didn't buy pots and pans yesterday, how did you make it?"

"Cheng Xi said that he would lend us this house to live in the future, let me and Chen Changshun take you to see the house, I directly moved some kitchen utensils over last night!" Yu Qian opened her beautiful big eyes, stared at Cao Mo and asked, "You won't disagree, right?"

"This house is written in Cheng Xi's name, I just rubbed it, you ask me if I agree, it's useless. Cao Mo said.

Cheng Xi usually can't live separately from her parents, and this house he and Cheng Xi are only used for transition, and he will live during his return to China, but if he really lives for ten days and half a month a year, in addition to waste, the more important thing is that the house is not taken care of all the time, and the wallpaper and furniture are easy to mildew.

"Then this is our rent!" Yu Qian put a copy in front of Cao Mo early.

Cao Moxin said that if Yu Qian wore the nightdress she slept in yesterday, instead of such conservative home clothes, it would be more worth the rent, but when she heard the sound of the door opening behind her, she didn't dare to tease Yu Qian with her mouth and asked, "You don't have to go to work this weekend?"

"Mr. Ge handed over the additional issuance plan of Tianyue Industry to me, I have to go to Tianyue headquarters in the morning to meet with Mr. Shen and Mr. Chen, and meet at ten o'clock, I have to set off now, otherwise it will be miserable if I am blocked on the road......" Chen Chang glanced at Cao Mo meaningfully, took the computer bag on the corner of the table, put the laptop computer and materials into it, picked up a piece of toast and took two bites, and while greeting Cheng Xi, he picked up the car keys and walked out.

Whether it is Tianyue Industrial increasing its holdings or private placement, Dongjiang Securities is involved in the whole process as an agent brokerage, and Chen Chang is now the contact person in charge of this matter;

Chen Chang has more opportunities to meet Song Yuqing, probably she won't believe that Song Yuqing doesn't have a leg with him, right?

Cao Mo waved his hand to Chen Chang, who was about to go out, and turned around and asked Cheng Xi: "Let's go to Chonghai today, can you call your uncle and say something, or will we just walk around and sneak back?"

"My mom asked me yesterday about it, let's make a phone call and say it, even if it's a meal together. Otherwise, I won't be able to deal with my mother when I come back—" Cheng Xi said.

Although Tianyue Industrial's chemical pipeline and pump equipment business will be shut down, and will not consider acquiring land in Chongxin Park to build a new plant, the palm oil crushing and refining and cocoa butter powder production business will be integrated into Tianyue Industry in the future, the production base needs to be further expanded, Tianyue Industry needs to build a new R&D center and a larger-scale vehicle production base, Chonghai is a more suitable choice than Xinhai......

Specific business contacts can be handed over to Shen Ji and Xu Bin to run, but Cheng Xi's grandparents are gone, and her uncle Yang Jianguo is her mother's closest relative.
