As soon as Abacha came over in the morning, Cao Mo secretly communicated with him first, and today they still don't easily take over the topic of the industrial park project.

In fact, Cao Mo and Abacha don't pick up the topic and don't care.

In addition to seeing the second phase of the crushing plant project and the acquisition of oil palm sites in Lonta, Shen Ji's visit to Kanem this time will inevitably inspect and study other investment opportunities, and even arrange meetings and friendships with senior executives of Chinese-funded institutions such as China and Turkey, as well as officials from consulates.

In the afternoon, I ran to the shore of Lake Conero, and specially found a fishing boat, and everyone sat on it.

The wind and waves in the open sea are large, the fishing boats are too small, and it is the rainy season in Kanem, it is more dangerous to go to sea rashly, Lake Conero is nearly four kilometers wide from east to west, and it is connected with the Atlantic waterway outside, and the blue water of the lake is excellent.

It's not a luxury yacht, but it's a pleasure to spend an afternoon on a fishing boat floating around Lake Conero.

The topic was still on the industrial park project more than once, and in the end, Cao Mo said in embarrassment: "Sika and the Felician family do want to build a small industrial park here, and even when the Felician family power company signed a power grid agreement with Sika Idet Power Grid Company, it clearly attached a condition, that is, it has the right to independently build a transmission grid in the western coastal area of Longta, west of Ibogu. This prepares the ...... for the construction of the industrial park"

Cao Mo also specially introduced the complex equity relationship and the spin-off process of the new power grid company, he has no rights and interests in the new power grid company, and he broke it to Shen Ji, Lu Yan, and Xie Sipeng, he didn't have to worry about exposing anything, but he could cover him better.

"You also know that there is a shortage of electricity in Kanem - there are some manufacturing industries in Draculamo at present, but industrial electricity is miserable, and the Felician family power company has the power to build an independent transmission grid west of Ibogou, and they themselves are vigorously developing hydropower in the north of Longta, so they have the intention to build a small industrial park on the shore of Lake Conai on three to five hundred acres of land, attract manufacturing companies to settle in with low electricity prices, and then collect land rent to make a profit......"

"How big is your industrial park?" Lu Yan asked.

"Three to five hundred acres of land," Cao Mo said, "It can't be compared with China, whether it's the Sika family, or the Felician family, the strength is far from being comparable to Dongsheng and Taihua." In the early stage, they considered building a gravel road from Yibogu, building a substation, pulling a high-voltage transmission grid, and building a small water plant and sewage treatment plant, which would raise 20 or 30 million yuan, not ......US dollars."

"If you want to really build an industrial park, you can't build a wharf here?" Lu Yan asked with contempt.

I don't know how Zhou Han quietly fed Lu Yan medicine, seeing that he looked like an expert and pointed out the country, Cao Mo pretended to smile bitterly:

"It's not that I haven't thought about it, but if the terminal wants to be scaled, the investment is not a small number. If it is scaled up, it will have to get the right to dock import and export and international merchant freighters, which is not even something that the Oyo state government can settle, and it is also necessary to open up the relationship with the federal government. If the Dracula Port Group thinks that the construction of a port here will cause them direct competition and put a cold gun in the back, then I am afraid it will not be something that Sika and the Felician family can resist - the Felician family is still very thoughtful, what they can do in the early stage is to circle three or five hundred acres of land to make a small industrial park, no matter how big it is, it is not something they can promote!"

"Do we have any opportunities to participate in the investment?" asked Huang Hebin in Chinese at this time.

"Twenty or thirty million small projects, if Taihua is willing to play, I can help you match, and finally negotiate, just give me a commission of 100,200,000 yuan. In front of Shen Ji, Cao Mo also directly and brazenly talked about his commission first.

Shen Ji smiled and turned his face away.

"The commission is easy to say, but the investment of 20 million or 30 million is still slightly lower, and we can inject more funds," Huang Hebin said, "After all, it is a pity not to build a port in such a good location." ”

"I'm afraid it's going to be difficult," Cao Mo said, "if the industrial park is to be attractive, the cheap power supply of the Felician family power company is the guarantee, and the Felician family is willing to provide cheap power to the enterprises that settle in the industrial park because of the additional land rent income." Anyway, no matter how the meat is stewed, it will rot in the Felician family's own pot, and the Sika family will only have a chance to take a small amount of equity - in fact, I want to participate a little, and it will be up to the Felician family to give this opportunity or not. Of course, there are actuaries in China who can calculate the equity ratio and power supply pricing that are suitable for everyone, but in the past three years in Kanem, except for Draculamo, I found that other local people do business, not as complex and thoughtful as we Chinese think, and they are even worried about whether they have been calculated by the gringos after the complicated calculation. You know, this country has been colonized for hundreds of years, and it is still wary of us gringos......"

Cao Mo didn't hook up with them further, it wasn't his business, and finally patted his buttocks, and even directly expressed his refusal, saying: "If Taihua doesn't mind investing three or five million to participate, I can help you match, I guess there is still hope to persuade the Felician family, but you want to take away the controlling stake - I won't help you say, I still have the trust of the Felician family, if they think my elbow is turned out, then it will be difficult for me to eat this bowl of rice anymore......"

Cao Mo said this, and then purchased a bunch of seafood from the fishing boat and brought it back to Ibogu to make seafood barbecue......

After playing happily for two days, Cao Mo and Yang Deshan accompanied Shen Ji, Lu Yan and the three girls back to Dracula Mo - Shen Ji came to Dracula Mo for fun after all, and Lu Yan came to Dracula Mo to study and consider the business and investment projects of the Thai Hua West Africa Branch.

So for the next two days, Cao Mo followed Yang Deshan to accompany Shen Ji's crushing plant, crude palm oil storage, oil palm supply family business, as well as the acquired oil palm plantations and the newly established plantation management team.

Dongsheng already has 26 dispatched employees in Draculamo, while the number of local employees is as high as 400, and the number of local workers will increase from 800 when the second phase of the crushing plant is completed and the initial target of 40,000 acres of oil palm land is completed.

Yang Deshan and even Guo Jian must put all their energy into the daily operation of the branch, and other investments can only be regarded as an investment, and only Cao Mo can continue to dangle outside.

Shen Ji came over this time, and Yang Deshan also privately found an opportunity to talk to Cao Mo.

The branch will no longer be responsible for the salaries of Ade and Opple, and the Mitsubishi off-road vehicle also needs Cao Mo to buy it with his own funds and bear the daily expenses.

Of course, don't think about it, this is what Shen Ji meant.

Shen Ji did not directly remove him, and tolerated him to continue to get a salary in Dongshengbai, which was also enough for Chen Rong to save face, or to recognize that they had a friendship or two in private.

Cao Mo didn't feel anything, he had taken advantage of it for so long, he should be content, and if he explained it clearly, there would be no embarrassment.

In the future, he will continue to get a salary in Dongsheng, which cannot be regarded as a vain, after all, he is also helping to promote many businesses of the branch in Longta.

Two days later, that is, the day before Lu Yan and Shen Ji were ready to leave Draculamo, Huang Hebin called him, and Cao Mo specially rushed from Ibogu to Shen Ji and Lu Yan's Lana Dere Hotel where Draculamo stayed at night, and met with Shen Ji and Lu Yan.

In Lu Yan's room, Huang Hebin directly talked about a compromise plan they had thought of temporarily in the past few days:

"Is it possible that we will also build an independent industrial park on the eastern shore of Lake Conero, which can be next to the industrial park that the Felician family wants to build, and there will be no conflict. We mainly attract companies from the country, and the Fellithian family mainly attracts manufacturing from Draculamo or elsewhere. Of course, the industrial park to be built by the Felician people may also share the port and other supporting facilities we have invested in in the future, and everyone is mutually beneficial. ”

Cao Mo glanced at Shen Ji, Lu Yan and Zhou Han who were sitting next to him, they could think of this plan, it was not his expectation at all, and it could even be said that he left Taihua such a choice, but at this moment he still asked with a gesture:

"How big do you plan to invest?"

"How can the first phase have to start with 2,000 acres of industrial land!" Huang Hebin said, "You also know that the project is too small to make sense to us Taihua." ”

The 2,000-acre industrial park is actually not much for Taihua, purely in terms of the infrastructure of the industrial park, the investment may not need 100 million, Cao Mo looked at Shen Ji with some doubts and asked, "Are we Dongsheng involved?"

"Taihua has participated in the investment and construction of ports in China, and the inner side of Lake Conero may only be able to build small and medium-sized berths of five or six thousand tons, but the port resources near the outer lake are good, and there are conditions for building a large seaport. This is the investment direction of Taihua, and we are not qualified to participate in it. Shen Ji said with a smile.

Hearing Shen Ji say this, Cao Mo understood where Zhou Han's real grip was to lure the Lu family to bite the hook.

At present, Kanem does not have the ability to develop high-end manufacturing, except for a very few cities such as Draculamore, there is no prospect of developing real estate anywhere, and can only rely on low labor and land prices to attract low-end manufacturing enterprises, and the profitability of the industrial park project is actually very weak.

In Cao Mo's view, Taihua makes quick money and does not hesitate to get involved in the meat business, and the simple industrial park project should not be attractive to them.

When it comes to ports, that's a different concept.

Draculamo, the most prosperous port in West Africa, is currently saturated.

From the perspective of long-term development, Lake Conero is only 40 kilometers away from the port of Draculamo, if Taihua can invest in the construction of a seaport on the outside of Lake Conero, as a subsidiary port of Draculamo, its income level is ultimately directly related to the annual throughput.

As Africa's largest crude oil exporter, Kanem has a large amount of foreign exchange earnings, and the domestic industrial system is extremely backward, and Kanem is destined to import a large amount of industrial system, grain, gasoline and diesel from abroad every year, which makes the old port of Draculamo overwhelmed.

Of course, the start of the construction of a large new port in Kanem involves a large number of complex factors of economic, political and geopolitical forces.

Even from the technical level, a large seaport terminal may not be completed in two or three years only for survey and design demonstration, let alone other promotion work.

However, in the near term, the first investment in the construction of an industrial park, the construction of a bulk terminal with several thousand tons of berths in the port of Coneroone, this small and medium-sized terminal is limited to domestic shipping in Kanem at the same time, and does not involve international cargo ship berths, not only the scale of investment, the difficulty of construction and the period are limited, the whole thing can be decided by the Oyo state government, and even extremely welcome.

This industrial park and the small port project will be the rocker and starting point for them to promote the long-term new port project.

Of course, Cao Mo intuitively felt that Shen Ji's words just now still had some aftertaste that he had not said thoroughly.

Cao Mo's heart was suddenly shocked in the next moment, and he suddenly thought that the Jidam family was still controlling a smuggling syndicate behind the scenes.

How could he ignore this, the real goal of this group of people is this!

Cao Mo subconsciously looked at Huang Binhe and asked, "For the industrial park project, Taihua plans to be a sole proprietorship, and I haven't thought of finding a partner in Kanem?"

Huang Binhe glanced at Cao Mo vigilantly, and said lightly: "We are currently considering sole proprietorship, also to facilitate the rapid negotiation, and may consider introducing new investors from the local area in the later stage - of course, all this is undecided, and it depends on the progress of the negotiation in the end." ”

Nonsense, no matter the subtle changes in Huang Hebin's eyes and nose, or Lu Yan sitting on the side, or even Zhou Han's expression, his intuition told Cao Mo that Huang Hebin was lying.

They have already negotiated a partnership with the Jidam family.

In the eyes of Huang Hebin and the Lu family behind him, they simply wanted to build a port on the shore of Lake Konai, even if it was only able to dock five or six thousand tons of sea vessels in the initial stage, it would be convenient for Jidam, who controlled the smuggling syndicate behind the scenes, to send large quantities of goods into the country - this benefit was even more considerable than building a large seaport in the future.

Huang Hebin, these turtle cubs, are actually playing the Ming plank road and secretly crossing Chen Cang!

The so-called industrial park project is just a pretense for doing things, and their purpose is actually to build a port terminal in Lake Conero to implement a certain intention.

Zhou Han saw through their thoughts about smuggling, so he appropriately handed a bait wrapped in meat and honey to their mouths!
