After a long while, his heart was not so flustered, Cao Mo pushed the door and walked in, there was no light in the house, but the moonlight came in, and he could see a rough idea.

Song Yuqing and Wang Wen had already hid in bed, Wang Wen looked at him vigilantly, and kicked his feet.

Cao Mo smiled and said, "Am I such a stingy person? Look at your two virtues......

"The money is already hidden here, if you dare to come and grab it, I will shout to catch the hooligans!" Wang Wen patted his chest and said.

Alas, Cao Mo sighed lightly, the little girl really hasn't seen a hooligan.

"You think I'm stupid, you're clearly tempting me to be a hooligan. Cao Mo sighed, deliberately angry at Wang Wendao, but he lay on all fours beside Song Yuqing, who was curled up at the head of the bed.

"Don't make a fuss......"

Song Yuqing was afraid that Wang Wen would notice the abnormality just now, and there would be any bad rumors, so she stretched out her hand to push Cao Mo away, and said while Wang Wen was not paying attention.

"What are you whispering?"

The light in the room was dim, but Wang Wen's eyes were sharp, and when he saw Song Yuqing moving towards Cao Mo's lips, he grabbed Song Yuqing and asked her what she was talking to Cao Mo.

"I'm not going to rob you of money anymore, it's too hot, and I can't breathe after such a crazy day, so I'll borrow you to lie down and rest for a while. Cao Mo said playfully.

When I looked up, I saw Song Yuqing sitting solemnly at the head of the bed, her chest was undulating uncalmly, and the roots of her ears were also red, and the air she exhaled was scorching.

"How old are you, if you run for a while, you can't stand it, but no girl can look up to you. Wang Wen said jokingly to Cao Mo.

"If you can't look at it, you can't look at it. Cao Mo stretched out his hand and wanted to lie down more comfortably, but as soon as his arm rested on Song Yuqing's thigh, he was pushed away by Song Yuqing in disgust.

Cao Mo lay on Song Yuqing's bed, and the three of them chatted about finding land to build an equipment room until the lights flashed and the community restored the power supply......

Abacha is in charge of contacting the Oyo state government to arrange the donation, and although Cao Mo is now advertised everywhere that he is a senior personal advisor to Abacha and the Felician family, he can avoid showing his face as much as possible.

At this time, he focused on the preparation of the cement plant and the hydropower plant.

Cao Mo thought that the calcination of soil cement was very simple, after all, when the village brigade built its own cement plant in the early years of China, he did not see that the technical force could be higher than his level, but when he really communicated with the professionals of Oyo State College about the specific engineering construction design and planning, he found that he thought about simplicity in many places.

For example, the voltage provided by diesel generator sets is far from meeting the needs of large and medium-sized ore crushing, heating and grinding equipment.

A set of step-up electrical equipment needs to be added in the middle, and the equipment investment in this piece alone will suddenly increase a lot.

The cement plant and the hydropower plant are small in scale, and the construction and later operation of the project are not complicated.

Cao Mo can currently find someone from Oyo State College to carry out engineering design, but the few engineering and construction operation managers in the entire Oyo State are already well-known, and it is impossible to move easily.

Oqiaosan couldn't help Cao Mo find mature professional managers, but Cao Mo really wanted to recruit cement plant directors or hydropower station construction and operation managers from China, and without an annual salary of more than 500,000 yuan, he didn't expect to dig up real talents.

If Kanem's bill to restrict the import of cement and other building materials is not passed, after increasing the investment in a set of booster electrical equipment, the cement plant will not be able to make a profit by relying on diesel generator sets for power supply in the early stage.

At this time, if you spend such a high price to recruit professionals from China, you will definitely lose money for a long time.

What's more, now that he is recruiting operation managers from China, if he doesn't return to China to look for it himself, who can he entrust this matter to?

If he returns to China in person, where will he start, and how much time will he need to delay?

In that case, it would be better to suspend the project and build a hydropower plant first.

Cao Mo weighed it and offered a monthly salary of $600 to hire Wendy Skaffe, an electrical engineering lecturer at Oyo State College, as the director of the cement plant, and invited him to the ancient village of Yibo, where he was in charge of engineering design while groping for the construction of the infrastructure workers, and then began the construction of the hydropower station after the cement plant was completed and put into operation.

Cao Mo didn't believe that after the liberation of the country, the cement factory that could be built by the village brigade was really so watery as an electrical engineering lecturer at Kanemoyo State College.

Of course, employee training also needs to go hand in hand.

The vast majority of the tribal villagers in the Lunta region are not adapted to high-intensity, long-hours work, and many are only able to work for three to five hours a day.

Fortunately, the scale of employment in the Ibogu gold mine, farm, and infrastructure construction team has reached 300 people, and the local villagers have been preliminarily screened.

The construction of cement plants and hydropower stations can not only directly use the infrastructure team to top the workers needed for subsequent operations, but also select a group of people from mining areas and farms for training.

This is much easier than hiring workers from tribal villagers who do not even know how to observe basic labor discipline......

In order to save the construction period of the cement plant and put it into operation as soon as possible, Cao Mo first assigned the stone house warehouse of more than 2,000 square meters that had been built on the south side of the mining area to the cement plant.

This is to solve the needs of the early equipment, storage and office space of the cement plant, but the large and medium-sized equipment foundation and kiln tower that need to be built additionally have high requirements for structural strength, and must be reinforced concrete, especially the frame part of the calcining kiln, so that it can no longer be made up of several stone walls with lime stirring pozzola.

Of course, it can be saved, Cao Mo is as economical as possible.

The mixture of lime and volcanic ash is crushed with a sand making machine, and the particle size is two orders of magnitude lower than that of real cement, but the stone mill used by the tribe to mine rock gold can further grind the mixture calcined by the soil method.

Although the efficiency is lower, and the strength to eat milk can also produce two or three tons of cement every day, but the labor in Yibo Ancient Village is cheap.

These types of cement materials are used in floors that do not require high structural strength, which saves too much money than using ordinary cement.

Even if such a floor may be rough after one or two years of use, but the upfront funds are so tight, and the investment that can save 20,000 or 30,000 US dollars must be fought for by all means.

For the subsequent development of the mining area, new stone houses are needed, which can be expanded by opening up new woodlands to the north.

This is probably the greatest benefit of his monopoly on the northern jungle of the Igami at this time for development.

As long as the terrain allows, the felled trees can be used to replenish building materials, and the leveled vacant land can be used for construction, and all this can be planned and adjusted according to his mind.

The Felician family gold mining company has also formally applied for a gold exploration permit from the Oyo state government, including hundreds of square kilometers in the northern part of the Ibogu tribe, also known as prospecting rights.

The exploration of gold reserves in sedimentary rocks is more complicated, and it is not possible to find out in a day or two how many reserves and enrichment there are in the sedimentary rocks of the Ebogu gold mine, but in Kanem, the law stipulates that the mining of gold deposits needs to be based on prospecting rights.

Since it has been decided to promote the development of the Felician family gold mining company in the direction of formalization, it is also necessary to avoid the legal risks that may be brought about in the future.

Not only did he have to get the prospecting rights of the northern woodlands belonging to the Ibogu tribe, but Cao Mo also asked Owema to communicate with the surrounding tribes to get the prospecting rights for most of the areas that might have gold reserves in the upper reaches of the Lujiaochuan River.

After only five days of busy work, Wendy Scarfe and Cao Mo discussed and explored, came up with a set of drafts, and directly started the construction of the cement plant.

The cement plant was also officially registered as a Sika and Felician family building materials company with a total capital contribution of US$800,000, which is nominally a business of the Sika and Felician families, but Cao Mo also took 80% of the company's revenue with an indefinite equipment lease, technical support and carte blanche operation and management cooperation agreement.

Abacha contributed $120,000, or 15 per cent, while the Felician family, with a small contribution on construction land, received 5 per cent.

The Felician family power company, which was incorporated, plans to start the construction of the hydropower station in three months, and Cao Mo actually bears all the capital contributions, and occupies 90% of the income with a similar cooperation agreement for the construction and leasing of facilities and equipment, and the Felician family holds 10% of the income.

"Are you sure there's no problem?"

Abba looked generous, but the $120,000 he promised was almost his entire net worth, and when he handed the check to Cao Mo, he still asked worriedly.

“......”

Cao Mo glanced at Abacha with disdain, wondering if he was thinking about tying up the Sika family in Longta, and Lao Tzu would cede 15% of the actual income of the cement factory to you so cheaply?

Cao Mo thought in his heart that after the completion of the hydropower station, when converting the price of industrial electricity, he must not be soft-hearted, but said with a smile on his face,

"With me taking care of everything for the Sika family and the Felician family, aren't you still at ease?"

"You just borrowed our Sika family and Felician family as talismans,"

Abacha ruthlessly stuffed the check into Cao Mo's hand, but he was not stupid, and said,

"Following Governor Blake's accompaniment to Counselor Yang's donation ceremony, I will represent the City Council as chair of the newly formed Lunta-Dracula Highway Preparatory Construction Committee. My uncle was very generous and signed a check for three million naira. In addition to donating $20,000 to Mrs. Blake's foundation, we have raised $200,000 for the construction of the Ronta-Draculamo highway. ”

It's not hard to understand that the Oyo state government will peel off a layer of skin, but Kanem's building materials are so expensive, and $200,000 should not even think of building a real high-grade highway connecting Draculamo.

What they need to do now is to build two improvised concrete bridges as quickly as possible over the two larger streams that cut off the connection between Lonta and the northern outskirts of Draculamo.

Then, using the existing gravel roads of the family plantations such as Sika and Tubman, and requisitioning a part of the land, the disconnected part of about six or seven kilometers will be connected by simple gravel roads, which will allow about ten tons of light trucks to drive directly from the Ibogu tribe to the city of Draculamo.

In this way, their goal is accomplished.

This time, Da Sika not only agreed to set aside more than a dozen acres of forest land from the family plantation to facilitate the simple road to the south, but also donated an additional $10,000 to build the road......
