Ojosan would not stay in Longta for long, and Abacha did not make any gestures, and the next day he happily ran to the mine to meet Cao Mo again.

Abacha even changed his previous gloomy and indifferent image, and was so enthusiastic that he had to hook up with Cao Mo.

The contrast between Abacha and the front and back is so great that Cao Mo was taken aback even if he had a keen intuition, but through Ojosan, he knew a lot about Abacha's situation.

Abacha comes from the Sika family in the Lunta region, which runs a palm plantation of more than 10,000 acres in the southern part of Lunta, eight or nine kilometers from the village of Ibogu.

Combined with other industries, the Sika family may have an annual income of millions of dollars, which is nothing in China, but in the Lunta region, and even in the entire Oyo state, it can be considered a wealthy family.

Abacha is not yet thirty years old, and in previous years he was a hot-blooded young man in the region who had been staunch opponents of the former military junta, and he was a rebellious outlier in his family.

After the end of Kanem's rule, the democratically elected government came to power, and Abacha, as the main representative member of the ruling party's Patriotic Construction Front in the Lunta area, changed his rebellious image and elected the current municipal councillor.

The Sika family has a deep-rooted presence in Lonta, and Abacha's uncle, Sika, is the traditional representative of the Lonta region and is also a municipal councilor.

The traditional representatives of a region, whose quota is fixed and do not need to be elected, can be said to be representatives of local ethnic forces, and in fact the power is greater and more stable than the elected representatives.

Abacha still wants to get rid of the shadow of his family, his restless heart has greater political ambitions, and he is not limited to wanting to develop in the Lunta area, but he wants to become a member of the Oyo State Council, and all aspects need to accumulate more resources.

In Abacha's eyes, even if Cao Mo is willing to establish a closer relationship with the Patriotic Construction Front, he can only be regarded as a small donor, but Cao Mo's ideas are too much for him to like.

Of course, in Cao Mo's eyes, Abacha is much more active than the locals he came into contact with before, and he has a more or less similar smell.

Abacha said that Cao Mo has a magic power of "peering into people's hearts", speaking more relaxedly, and not hiding his intentions.

At present, there are many United Nations aid projects in Kanem (China's Kassi plus African farms are also included in the United Nations' overall aid projects to Africa), but there are only a few of the 37 federal states in Kanem.

Needless to say, the prestige and influence gained in the local area by being able to win aid projects is needless to say.

More importantly, in the eyes of Kanem's officials, the aid program is an important channel for connecting the federal and state governments.

At present, Kanem is in great need of foreign aid, and with so many aid projects in Africa, President Buhari of the federal government is not only extremely concerned about the progress, but also personally visits several times a year.

Establishing close relationships with United Nations officials is an important way for Kanem's domestic officials to gain political prestige.

Abacha does not expect to be able to apply for the United Nations aid program directly in the Lunta region with his personal ability, and his family does not like his out-of-the-box personality - the Sika family even sees the democratically elected government and the ruling party's Patriotic Building Front as a step backwards, which will bring greater instability and uncertainty to Kanem.

Abacha doesn't have much support from his family yet, and he thinks that the vegetable farm that will be built in the village of Ibogu will be linked to the United Nations anyway.

In Abacha's eyes, as long as this is done in his name, it means more than the Igubo gold mine taking 3% of the profits every year and handing it over to the Lonta region.

Abacha came over this time, and his posture in front of Cao Mo was really much more relaxed than the first time, and he even took the initiative to propose that the taxes and fees paid by the Ibogu Gold Mine to the Longta area could be further reduced.

The 3% profit tax is not too high, and Cao Mo will not bargain over the details, but he hopes that Abacha will push the city council to push for the tax to be paid from the Ibogu gold mine, mainly for the repair of the road between the village of Ibogu and the Sika family's palm plantation.

Although the Sika family's palm plantation does not have a suburban road to Draculamo, there is a gravel road that is often repaired, and it can be seen that this should be dedicated to the Sika family and several nearby palm plantations.

Cao Mo thought that if the Lonta Municipal Committee could build a gravel road from there to the village of Ipogu, and then invest in two cement seats on the two streams south of the Sika family's palm plantation, cars and light trucks would be able to directly connect to Draculamo, which would be too effective in improving the transportation between the village of Ibogu and Draculamo.

In fact, even with the price of reinforced cement several times that of Kanem in China, the investment in two small cement bridges and a simple road with gravel is not much terrifying, but no one in the local area has thought about raising funds to open the passage to Draculamo over the years, and Cao Mo is quite speechless.

Of course, Cao Mo would not feel that the Patriotic Construction Front was incompetent, because after all, the country only ended its military rule two years ago, and a lot of chaos has not yet been straightened out, otherwise social order would not be so chaotic; the Patriotic Construction Front is also a young political party and does not have much experience in governing government.

Abacha agreed, but Cao Mo felt that he was perfunctory, his mind was still on the agricultural project in Yibogu Village, and he felt that his personality was even more frizzy than his own.

However, Cao Mo won't break it, and he doesn't even feel anything.

There are twenty-four or five members of the Lonta Municipal Council, and Abacha is not prominent, and he does not yet have the power and prestige to make a final decision.

On the contrary, if the agricultural project of Ibogu Village is completed in the name of Abacha, Abacha's influence and status in Lonta will increase, and it will be much easier to promote related matters at that time.

In the Ibogu Vegetable Farm, Cao Mo was still in the planning stage before, and he still wanted to communicate with Professor Zeng Xianzhi a few more times, and then determine a relatively perfect plan before implementing it, and he didn't think about doing it in a hurry, but Abacha couldn't wait to push Cao Mo forward at this time.

Ojosan was present, and Abacha couldn't wait for Cao Mo to immediately determine the scale of the farm's investment.

Cao Mo initially thought of starting with a farm of about 100 acres.

In addition to considering the gradual development of Draculamo Chinese restaurants as customers, a considerable part of the vegetable cultivation in the early stage also thought that it could be supplied to the mine first.

At present, Cao Mo has planted four or five acres of vegetable gardens in the mine, and the vegetables have grown thin and thin, and they can only be supplied exclusively to a limited number of people, such as Kabuja, Owema, and the old chief Felician's family.

The diet of more than 80 miners used to be based on tapioca flour and bean rice, which were free of charge, and each meal was one yuan.

Cao Mo thought that if the sales of the vegetable farm developed in the early stage were not good, it would be just to improve the food for the mine workers, and it also showed that he, the Chinese boss, was so conscientious that there would be no waste and loss.

The weather in Kanem is hot, and there is no need to build a vegetable greenhouse, and the investment in 100 acres of vegetable land will be quite limited.

Alacha was obviously not satisfied with the scale of cultivation of only 100 acres of land in the beginning, and according to his ideas, it could have been from 1,000 acres, and even wished that if it started from 1,000 acres, it would be 6,000 acres.

The Sika family runs a palm plantation of 2,000 acres, and although they are not good at growing vegetables, they have all the agricultural and irrigation equipment, and they can not only lease some agricultural machinery to Cao Mo, but also have relatively reliable procurement channels, and even hire some of the mechanical technicians they hire to Cao Mo.

"Why don't Mr. Abacha, you also participate in the investment?" Seeing that Abacha was so eager, Cao Mo said along the pole.

To do farming, you need a large enough area to be profitable.

At present, Draculamo vegetables are scarce, and if there are 1,000 acres of land and can be successfully sold, the profit is considerable, but this model is too easy to imitate.

In particular, the owners of Chinese restaurants were able to run from China to Draculamo at the beginning of the century, all of them were human spirits, none of them were fuel-efficient lamps, and they themselves rented land on the outskirts of Draculamo, and there was no obstacle, and in the end, this business would still become a win by quantity.

Song Yuqing analyzed this point for Cao Mo last night.

Cao Mo wants to do this, mainly because this matter is beneficial to the villagers of Ibogu and the surrounding tribes, and it is also beneficial for him to really integrate into the local area, and he doesn't expect to make much money, but since Abacha can't wait to expand the scale, he wants to drag Abacha directly into the water.

Abacha got involved, and he was really enthusiastic about building a path between the village of Ibogu and the Sika family's palm plantation.

Abacha groaned a little, and then agreed very simply, so that Cao Mo couldn't help but wonder if Abacha wanted to fool him first.

Fortunately, his intuition told Cao Mo that Abacha was serious.

Cao Mo could only think in his heart that Kanem had only been under the rule of the military government for two years, and the young officials in the region who had been newly recruited like Abacha were more like enthusiastic young people who were full of energy and did not think much about the consequences, but in fact they did not have much experience in governance, and they could not expect him to be as scheming as the officials in China who had been promoted from organs for decades.
