(Thanks to the new alliance leader Zhu Xiaoxuan, Xuan Xuanxuan, the sea, and Sibai for their generosity, I still owe three more...... ）

"How is your uncle now, he signed a supply agreement with Dongsheng, and when the road is completed, are you waiting to count the money?" Cao Mo was concerned about the current situation of Da Sika.

"It's not your bad idea, Kenhardt is making a lot of noise every day, and he wants to tear down his house, and he wants to sell part of the oil palm land directly and take the money to Draculamo to enjoy. Alas, it's been a lot of trouble all day long, in your Chinese words, it's just chickens flying and dogs jumping - alas, I'm really upset to death. Abacha said, patting his thigh.

"So, you also complain about me? In this case, I will persuade Kenhardt that the ancestral family business cannot be abandoned lightly. Cao Mo said with a smile.

"Go!" Abacha kicked one foot and made a gesture to kick Cao Mo.

The so-called one thing descends to one thing, Da Sika seems to be majestic, unsarcastic, stubborn and conservative in thought, even at this time, Abacha is still a little afraid of Da Sika psychologically, but Da Sika has no problem with his eldest son Kenhart.

Now Kenhardt is in trouble with Da Sika over the sale of oil palm land, Abba is looking at it, and his heart is so sweet, where will Cao Mo go over to persuade peace?

"Let's go, let me see the excitement too! Come to your Sika's house for a meal at noon, and we'll go back to Draculamo!" Cao Mo said with a smile.

He mail-ordered a bunch of tea and porcelain from China, and anyway, he chose the cheapest and the most beautiful packaging.

At this time, he also picked two pieces to bring to the door, estimated to be worth 100 yuan of RMB, and urged Abacha to accompany him to visit Da Sika.

"What do you want to do?" Abacha asked warily.

"Don't you want to invest the dividends you get?" Cao Mo said, "According to the conservative strength of the Sika and the Adet family, it is estimated that it is impossible for the Sika Adet Power Company to accept the capital injection from a foreigner now, but you are a rookie of the Sika family, and you are also a rookie in the political arena of Lunta and even Oyo State, if you propose to participate in the Sika Aidet Power Company, Mr. Da Sika will definitely support you, and the Aidet family and other investors are unlikely to refuse......

"Sika Aidet Power Company, but there is no profitability, it can't sell a third of its electricity in a year!" Abacha exclaimed a little aggrieved, thinking what the hell did you give?

"You also see that many Chinese businessmen are now coming to Longta to find gold mines, Mr. Chen and Mr. Zhou are involved in the mining and transportation of cement raw materials, and the equipment will enter the market in the next two days," Cao Mo said, "As more and more Chinese businessmen enter Longta, there will be more and more workers who can find employment and get higher incomes in Longta, and the demand for electricity for residents, businesses and so on within the town will increase step by step." Wouldn't you take the opportunity to take a stake in the Sika Aidet Power Company at a low price, but after their profits have increased, will you buy the shares at a high price? Moreover, after you take a stake in the Sika Aidet Power Company, will it be even more energetic for you to attract Chinese businessmen to build factories, mines, restaurants, and hotels in Longta?"

"Do you think that after I take a stake in Sika Aidet Power Company, when the Ibogu Hydropower Station wants to sell electricity to the town, I can help talk?"

"When you say this, you can say that you are tarnishing our great friendship!" Cao Mo complained dissatisfiedly.

"In the words of you Chinese, isn't friendship to be tarnished?" said Abacha with a smile.

"Hey, who taught you this nonsense?" Cao Mo said, "you have not only tarnished our great friendship, but also tarnished my eyes. Who can afford to use that little bit of electricity in the towns? Sika Aidert's great goal is to build a transmission grid to Draculamo, do you understand?"

As a gringo, Cao Mo himself will continue to hide behind the Abacha and Felician families.

In addition, the construction of the power grid in the Lunta area has long been monopolized by Sika Aidet Power Company.

It is unlikely that these old stubborn people will directly sell Sika Idet Power Company, nor will they transfer the right to build the power grid, and what Cao Mo can do now is to let the Abacha and Felician families infiltrate.

Of course, a sixty or seventy kilometer, 10,000-volt high-voltage route has a lot of investment, and the Abacha and Felician families will participate in it, and the funds will be insufficient, but even if they stubbornly refuse foreign capital to enter, as long as it is really profitable, they will not be able to make up three melons and two dates when they go to Draculamo?

As long as this high-voltage line is completed and Cao Mo builds a hydropower station in the upper reaches of the Lujiaochuan River, there will be a way out for the abundant electric energy.

Although a new natural gas power plant is being built in Draculamo, the population of the urban area of Draculamo continues to expand, and even the population of the entire Kanem country is expanding at the same high speed as in the fifties and sixties in China, and a new natural gas power plant is far from being able to make up for the power gap in Draculamo.

The terrain in Longta does not seem to be particularly high, but the primeval jungle on the border with Benin is still more than three or four hundred meters above sea level and slowly descends to the south.

The tributaries of the Lujiaochuan River are distributed in the meantime, not to mention three or five small hydropower stations, it is more than enough to build thirty or fifty small hydropower stations.

When Cao Mo is preparing for the construction of a new hydropower station, he also entrusts people to conduct geological surveys on various tributaries, and strives to obtain construction permits for suitable locations as much as possible, and when the high-voltage transmission grid is completed, he can sell electricity.

At present, Draculamo is equivalent to two yuan per kilowatt-hour of electricity, and Cao Mo does not expect a high price when he sells it to the power grid company, even if it is only sold for six cents, it will be twice as high as the domestic hydropower grid price.

"So, the most valuable thing in the hands of Sika Aidet Power Company is the right to build the power grid?" Abacha asked.

"If you can cheat the power grid construction right, you will make money," Cao Mo said, "Let me tell you this, Draculamo electricity is 0.3 dollars per kilowatt-hour, if you can build the power grid, I will build a hydropower station, sell it to you for 0.15 dollars, this kilowatt-hour of electricity, after deducting route loss, equipment depreciation, operating costs, and transmit it to the Draculamo backbone network, the cost will increase to 0.2 dollars at most, how much do you make a kilowatt-hour of electricity?" I build a hydropower station in the Luchuanjiao River and sell it all into the grid, how much can you make, and if I build ten hydropower stations in the Luchuanjiao River, how much can you earn?"

"Ten million dollars a year?" Abacha opened his mouth.

He is still immersed in the joy of making half a million dollars, and he will not understand what the concept of a net profit of 10 million dollars is for a while.

"It's not that easy to do, but anyway, you and Ojosan first take a stake in Sika Aidet Power Company is the first step, and then find a way to spin off the grid construction and set up a new company," Cao Mo said, "but if you really want to connect to the Dracula Mainstream network, it may take a political figure like Governor Blake to push it forward, so after it is really built, you can divide two or three million dollars a year, and it will be the sky." You wipe your saliva ...... first."

Many things that are natural in China may be completely different in Kanem.

Lonta and Draculamo belong to the two states of Oyo and Ogun, and the high-voltage power grid in Lonta has been completed, and Draculamo may not agree to connect to the backbone even if there is a shortage of electricity.

That's when a figure like Blake needs to step up and push it.

However, just like Xie Sipeng and Yang Deshan found the next family and transported cement into Kanem, only to have the fattest piece of meat eaten by the next family, they really wanted to invite a character like Blake to come out in the end, and it is unlikely that the appetite of the family can be filled by spending hundreds of thousands or millions at a time.

Cao Mo is reluctant to directly participate in the construction of the power grid, in addition to various obstacles, with his shallow knowledge, he can already see that there will be no shortage of big people who pounce on the food.

Cao Mo can only tell Abacha a general prospect now, but how to implement it step by step, it can only take the first step and then look at the situation.

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

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

Cao Mo rushed to Sika Manor with Abacha, and saw Da Sika's fat and tall body, standing in the back garden and scolding the maid, while Kenhardt was sitting on a wicker chair beside him.

Yes, they are angry about the sale of oil palm land.

Yang Deshan's work of sowing discord is really perfect, and I don't know what rhetoric he used, secretly instigating Kenhardt to eat like a blind man, but he was able to make Da Sika not transfer his grievances to Dongsheng's head.

Two beautiful donation activities before and after, Governor Blake visited Lunta twice, and the Lunta-Draculamo highway is taking shape, Cao Mo has already established the status of "big man" in the hearts of Dasika and Kenhardt.

Seeing Cao Mo coming with Abacha as a guest, Da Sika immediately eased his face, and Kenhardt also had an expression of confiding, wanting to find Cao Mo to reprimand Da Sika's stubbornness.

"As a representative of Dongsheng Company, I naturally hope that Da Sika can sell a part of the oil palm land as an example, but I also understand Mr. Da Sika's feelings. Even from Mr. Dasika's standpoint, I don't think there's anything wrong with Dasika's insistence. Many investments are risky, and the plantation is the foundation, how can it be easily abandoned to help the Sika family withstand so many turmoil over the years?"

Cao Mo still tried to get Kenhardt to confide in, and then continued the conversation and persuaded Da Sika to say,

"It's not like things can't be changed, though. If Mr. Kenhardt insists on selling some of the oil palm land, I don't think it is possible, but at the same time, he needs to buy the same or even a larger area of raw land in Lonta, plant oil palm seedlings, and take care of it for six to eight years, and the Sika family will not lose the slightest bit of the plantation, and will also receive an additional operating income......"

Dongsheng wants to buy mature plantations in Longta directly, and in order to facilitate management, it is especially hoped that these plantations will eventually form a piece, and a more feasible way is to persuade those planters who are not willing to give up their traditional industries to replace them.

The price of raw land in Lonta is very low, and the sale of mature and productive plantations and the purchase of new oil palm land is actually a new source of income for planters who have matured the technology of oil palm cultivation, and it is even quite profitable.

At present, the purchase price approved by the group is US$800 per mu for oil palm land in the peak production period and the contract period is 99 years, while the land price for the local raw land in the 99-year contract period does not even need US$100.

Converted, it is equivalent to Dongsheng paying about US$100 per mu of oil palm land per year for oil palm tree cultivation.

With the low local labor costs, there is considerable profit margin.

The reason why Dongsheng did not acquire oil palm on a large scale in the early stage was that there was no mature cultivation team and technology, and secondly, a low-interest loan of 200 million US dollars was invested, hoping to form a scale of palm oil delivery to China as soon as possible, and form a stable and considerable income, which is reflected in the statements of listed companies.

After almost forming an annual transportation scale of 40,000 to 50,000 tons of palm oil and a stable profit of more than 10 million US dollars per year, Dongsheng will consider raw land cultivation in the next step.

All of this is a strategy that Yang Deshan discussed with Shen Ji and other high-level officials at overseas and applied for the approval of the group, but in fact, Cao Mo did not agree with it in his heart.

Cao Mo didn't think that such a strategy was disadvantageous to Dongsheng, in fact, this approach was extremely disadvantageous to the poor farmers in Kanem.

The reason is simple.

A large amount of arable land is used to grow oil palm, and because oil palm is drought-tolerant and resistant to insect pests, forest land management is simple, and large landowners can obtain stable and reliable income.

For low-income farmers, even if they can get a job on a plantation or directly on the estates of chiefs and chiefs, they lose the arable land to grow staple foods.

And the jobs they can get, the monthly salary is less than 100 yuan, and the cassava grown in the corners is not enough to eat, how much money can they use to buy high-priced imported grain?

Of course, since the company has made such a decision, Cao Mo, as an employee of Dongsheng, has the responsibility to implement it, and will start to do work by persuading the Sika family, but seeing that the maids who serve the Sika family and serve coffee are also skinny and malnourished, he feels deep down that Longta and other areas of Kanem are more urgent to develop staple food cultivation......
