Xu Bin has deep thoughts about the future development of Tianyue, and he is already in contact with the product development team.

In related fields, he and Xu Lizheng have met a lot of like-minded people, and can also dig out some useful people from within Huachen; as long as Cao Mo agrees, he will be able to set up a product development and testing laboratory in Xinhai in the future.

"Shen Xiaoyuan, my classmate in college, graduated from the bachelor's degree like me, all entered Huachen, but he worked for two years and then went to Germany to study, mainly researching and specializing in automotive power systems, and then worked for a passenger car research institute in Germany, and Xinhai University hired him to return to China to teach last year. Tianyue's establishment of a product development and testing laboratory will involve the development of motorcycle power systems, which is not very consistent with his research direction, and he is not willing to give up his work at Xinhai University, I think Tianyue's laboratory can cooperate with him and entrust him with the development project of motorcycle power systems......"

"Tianyue's specific operation, you and Xu Lizheng are still responsible, and I am not good at technical work. If you tell me about motorcycle engines here, I'll just sleep on the table and show you. Cao Mo said with a smile.

Others say that there is no doubt about employing people, but also to test the bearing and eyesight of people, but Cao Mo can indeed do this.

Although Xu Binshi started a business at the beginning, he was somewhat caught off guard by Cao Mo's encouragement, but at this time, his enthusiasm was completely activated.

Cao Mo could feel Xu Bin's enthusiasm, even if it didn't mean that this thing would be successful.

In addition to setting up a product development and testing laboratory, Xu Bin also plans to buy out Huachen's trademark rights in West Africa.

Because of the current sales of motorcycles in West Africa, the product technology system has been quite mature, and it is also the technology introduced by Huachen in the early years, there is no technical barrier, take the regional right to use the trademark, the production can bypass Huachen industry, directly find upstream parts suppliers to cooperate, and even the follow-up performance improvement at the same time, and strive to develop new products that are more suitable for the specific environment of West Africa as soon as possible, to ensure their current dominant position in the West African market.

After the completion of these work, Tianyue can develop high-end motorcycles on the one hand, fill the gap in the domestic market of domestic motorcycles, and on the other hand, specialize in the production of heavy-duty motorcycles for the West African market, and continue to feed back the shortcomings in the field of product development with the profits obtained in the West African market.

Of course, Xu Bin has greater ambitions for Tianyue's future development in the industrial field, Cao Mo has also heard Xu Bin and Xu Lizheng chat a few times before, but the follow-up technology and capital are far from being supported by the profit scale of the current West African motorcycle market, and there is no need to discuss too deeply at this time.

You have to eat the rice one bite at a time.

Cao Mo also hopes to enter the field of oil exploration in West Africa.

However, the capital required for that game is often billions of dollars, and he just thinks about it.

The Lu family built an oil refinery on the south bank of Lake Conero, so much investment, the technical level is also very simple and crude, and the production cost is extremely high.

The control of Western Union Oil, this time he also gave it to the Oppenheimer family neatly, in exchange for the current practical benefits.

The key question now is, firstly, at what price will Hexi's side withdraw from Tianyue, and secondly, how Xu Bin and Xu Lizheng will raise funds to acquire Tianyue's equity from Hexi without their direct support.

This Cao Mo can't help much, but Shen Ji can directly communicate with Ding Zhaoqiang about this matter, and he can also contact domestic banks or other financial institutions to obtain equity pledge loans; Shen Ji himself is also very willing

Let's take a look at Xu Bin, where they can lead Tianyue.

Of course, Cao Mo still supports Xu Bin very much in his heart.

His domestic industry-side investment is very limited, and he has no other achievements except for Conero Foods, which limits his bargaining chips against Han Shaorong in China in the future.

Xu Bin and they have this idea, which is equivalent to opening up another channel for industrial expansion in China in addition to Conero food.

In any case, he is the real major shareholder of Tianyue, holding 70% of Tianyue's shares.

Cao Mo can't give Xu Bin more support to them at present, and he has no intention of taking over this part of the shares directly from Hexi, he has enough shares in Tianyue, there is no need to further strengthen them, let Xu Bin and them hold more shares, bear more pressure, and it is convenient to further squeeze out their potential, and more importantly, he is also short of money.

The Oguta and Ibogu gold mines have only initially completed three operating areas, and it is even necessary to invest US$350 million in the follow-up to bring into full play the production capacity of these three operating areas; the comprehensive mining rate should be further increased on the basis of the current 80 percent to reach the international second-rate level, and the scale of new investment in the refinery should increase exponentially.

And that's not even counting the huge investment that followed Akwa's takeover of the Drake gold mine.

The Akwa finished cement market has been opened to him, but the corresponding production capacity must keep up in order to occupy the Akwa market.

Whether it is the construction of the third phase of the Conero cement plant or the direct acquisition of the grinding station from the Lu family, it is often necessary to invest four or five million US dollars. In the case of the acquisition of cement plants in the port of Cotonou and Peimei for renovation, it involves the supply of electricity and upstream raw materials, and the scale of investment is even larger.

Dongsheng was able to obtain foreign exchange loan support from the Export-Import Bank of China, which was the basis of Dongsheng's development and operation in the country for so many years, but Cao Mo did not have this qualification now.

He didn't even know in which direction the doors of the Export-Import Bank of China were opened.

Next, Cao Mo briefly talked about the meeting with Lu Jianchao in the afternoon.

"So, are you sure you'll take over their grinding station project this time?" asked Shen Ji.

Lu Jianchao can still be determined to cooperate with Cao Mo, and Shen Ji has some guessing about the mentality of the Lu family.

They definitely didn't dare to watch such a large investment on the south shore of Conero Lake rot, but since they all had to bow their heads to Cao Mo, to put it bluntly, they still pointed to Cao Mo, who showed his skills in the whole thing, to resolve the unpredictable risks for them.

This also means that the Lu family no longer dares to blindly add more investment to the south bank of Conero Lake.

However, many projects on the south bank of Conero Lake have not yet been completed, and the Lu family does not want to add new investment, but still wants to revitalize, so they must only do addition and subtraction at the same time.

Giving up the grinding station, returning part of the funds, ensuring the follow-up construction of other projects, and perhaps following up with the Oppenheimer family, introducing some new funds, this is one of the few choices that the Lu family can seize part of the initiative.

"I don't know what price they are offering yet," Cao Mo said with a headache, "Tomorrow they send the advisory agreement to Dongsheng, and then I will contact Nizi Oppenheimer......

Approaching the end of the year, a large number of migrant workers have returned to their hometowns, Xinhai in addition to the boiling shopping malls, the streets and alleys are deserted, but leisure tourism is increasingly prosperous, around the Spring Festival is the peak season of Xinhai B&B hotel industry.

Cao Mo took Chen Rong's car back to Muxiang B&B and saw that his father was still sitting under the lamp in the office writing and drawing, not knowing what he was busy with.

"Cao Mo, will the boss of your branch return to China during the Spring Festival?" Cao Xiong looked up when he saw Cao Mo and Chen Rong walking in

Asked.

"Huh?" Cao Mo was thinking about how he would talk to Niz Oppenheimer about the Taihua project tomorrow, and he was a little stunned when he heard his father's cold question.

"The house at No. 118 has been renovated, and it hasn't come in handy until now, if your boss doesn't have a specific plan for the time being, I just want to rent it directly and make a private ......restaurant," Cao Xiong said.

"What's this?" Cao Mo thought about asking Chen Rong to cooperate with the acting, and in the name of Yang Deshan, he handed over the decoration of the old house at No. 118 Tianzifang to his father to take care of. After the decoration plan was released, he looked at it once, but except for transferring the two million decoration money to his father through Chen Rong, he never asked again.

There have been so many things lately, they have consumed his mind too much, and he has forgotten about them!

Damn, he only has one property in his name, and he is so forgetful, if he wants to build one hundred and eighty sets in the future, where can he think of it?

It seems that if you want to buy a house in the future, you have to buy it by building, otherwise you really don't have this memory.

"Oh, you said this!" Cao Mo said nonsense, "Our Mr. Yang has run a company in Kanem alone, and it is unlikely that he will get out and return to China in a short time, and I still think that he will give me the house directly, and I will pay him in installments......"

"That house, plus seven million decorations, can you afford it?" Cao Xiong asked.

"I earn more than two million a year, you brag to me!" Cao Mo glanced at his father and said, "Jiaying drove the car back and showed it to you?"

Chen Rong stood aside with a smile and remained silent.

"What's there to show off, it's just a broken car! That house is okay, if you can take it, you can also take it, saving you a few bucks, and the bones will be a few taels lighter, and I don't know how thick the sky is, and then the money will be trampled indiscriminately!" Cao Xiong also felt that it was a good idea for Cao Mo to invest the money he earned in the house, thinking that since Cao Mo could have one or two million income a year in Kanem, what would be the next difficulty in this house, and then handed over the book he was writing and painting just now, and said, " Our father and son settle the accounts, the wooden elephant has your investment, this is the business situation in the past year, do you take the time to take a look?"

Cao Mo took the account book and pulled a chair to sit in the corner.

His old house was mortgaged, and a total of 5 million funds were injected into the wooden elephant before and after, and his father was not in a hurry to expand the operation of high-end homestays, and in the past six months, he mainly focused on short-term rental apartments, and currently has nearly 500 houses in operation.

As the economic capital and financial center of China, Xinhai has a permanent population of more than 20 million, and the demand for short-term rental apartments is very high.

Emerging urban white-collar workers, especially senior white-collar workers and gold-collar workers, even if they do not have the ability and plan to buy a house in a short period of time, their requirements for housing are increasing day by day.

Nearly 500 houses, the current occupancy rate has reached 90%, and there are still a few houses, all of which are being cleaned up and renovated, which can be said to be quite a terrifying data.

Although the net profit of 1340,000 yuan per month can only be regarded as a small amount of money in Cao Mo's eyes, it is already a very good rate of return for a small enterprise with a total investment of only 5 million yuan and a high-end homestay; this has not yet calculated the monthly profit of 350,000 yuan of Muxiang B&B.

However, these also show that B&B and short-term rental companies still rely on the intervention of capital if they want to do large-scale.

Otherwise, after five or six years of slow work, the number of houses in hand will be ten times more, and the management in all aspects can keep up, and the profit will only be one or two million per month.

Of course, this is his father's own career, Cao Mo doesn't want to get involved too deeply, pretends to read the account book very seriously, and throws it to his father, and goes out to find Cheng Xi and them to sing, which does not hinder the two-person world between his father and Chen Rong......
