Taihua Industrial Park, Conero Lake Port, Xintaihua Oil Refinery, and Xintaihua Resort Hotel are all constructed and operated by Xintaihua Investment directly controlled by Taihua Group and Lujia, and cooperate with Vorkov Investment, Draculamo Port Group and other institutions in specific projects.

After the agreement is made here, the specific things are naturally promoted by Lu Jianchao.

There are too many things to do, and the hastily drawn up plan for the Binhai New Area is far from perfect, and Lu Jianchao has to think as carefully as possible in the past two days about what conditions to fight for Draculamo and Ogun Prefecture, what means to use to force Lunta and Oyo Prefecture to back down, how to operate at the federal government level, and what kind of reaction and counterattack Cao Mo's side will have.

Lu Jianchao took Huang Hebin, Yao Haiming, Lu Yan and others to return to the south shore of Lake Conero on a speedboat, while Han Shaorong and the others continued to stay on this luxury yacht and enjoy the magnificent scenery of the Atlantic Ocean.

Xinhai also leans against the sea, but the turbid sea water like yellow mud soup really can't make people too close to interest, in the face of this sapphire-like clear ocean, after Lu Jianchao and others left, Cao Li couldn't help but change into a swimsuit, and jumped into the cool sea water with Zhang Jin and Liang Yuan.

The waves are calmer than expected.

Cao Fangming has worked hard all these years, even if there are safety officers on the yacht staring, he doesn't feel that he has the physical strength to swim in the sea twice.

But it was Han Shaorong who plunged into the water, swimming faster and farther than the two descendants.

Cao Li was in awe of the Atlantic Ocean in the end, and she didn't dare to go too far from the yacht, more time was to grab the escalator, and immerse herself in the cool sea water to enjoy this feeling, I don't know when Han Shuyun has already gotten on the yacht, she just watched Han Shaorong swim not far away with Liang Yuan and Zhang Jin.

It's really incomparable to others, although Zhang Jin is quite handsome, but he is too thin, he usually doesn't exercise, his muscles are loose, and he looks like an ugly duckling compared to Liang Yuan.

What's even more rare is that Han Shaorong has bronzed muscles and a slender and slender figure, it is difficult to imagine that he is a person from fifty years away.

"Why don't you swim?" Han Shaorong swam back, grabbed the escalator and asked Cao Li.

"I used to swim at the beach, at most I played on the beach with calm waves, and I didn't dare to run far - it's good here, but I'm afraid that if I swim far, I won't have the strength to swim back. Cao Li said with her tongue out.

"Haha, so many people, can you still watch you sink?" Han Shaorong laughed, "Or just get on the boat and rest for a while, soak in the sea water for too long, it's not good for your skin." ”

Cao Li obediently grabbed the escalator and got on the boat, and Han Shaorong supported her in the back.

Although Han Shaorong didn't touch her sensitive parts, and his palms were on her waist, her body still stiffened.

The escalator is only five or six steps to the deck, Cao Li doesn't need help from others, Han Shaorong is he politely giving a hand, or does he deliberately take this opportunity to touch her body?

Cao Li is not an ignorant and simple girl, she always feels that Han Shaorong has some thoughts, but she still turned around and said thank you, she didn't dare to look at Han Shaorong's eyes, her face was a little hot on the deck, she dried her body with a bath towel before she calmed down, sat on the recliner next to her father, and covered the big bath towel on her body to watch the scenery.

After a while, Han Shaorong also climbed onto the deck, the water droplets hung down from his body, he didn't take the bath towel from the accompanying staff, he walked over directly, borrowed a corner of the chaise longue where Cao Li was lying, picked up the cigar on the coffee table, and talked to Cao Fangming: "Although Kanem has a high crude oil production, the fuel self-sufficiency rate is unimaginably low - now that international oil prices are rising one after another, don't look at the fact that Kanem is very poor in other places, but there are one or two million cars and motorcycles in Draculamo City. You don't have too much money in your hands, I suggest you invest in the Xintaihua refinery project, don't be too scattered - after you make up your mind about this, I'll help you talk to Lu Jianchao......"

Kanem's fuel self-sufficiency rate is low, but at the same time, it has set up high tariff barriers to encourage the construction of domestic refineries.

As a result, even if the refinery built in China is backward in production technology and the fuel produced is quite inferior, it is not at all worried about being unmarketable and unprofitable.

The first phase of the Xintaihua refinery has been completed, and even if the trial production stage has only exerted less than half of its production capacity, it has not been adulterated with smuggled low-priced crude oil for the time being, and it has already generated positive cash flow; the second phase of the project has a larger investment scale, and the fuel refining capacity has not increased much, but the profit margin is expected to be more impressive with the addition of polypropylene and other product lines with higher industrial profits.

Cao Fangming has not done much business in these years, but he also knows how high the profits of chemical products have been in the past two years.

In particular, the new Taihua refinery will eventually be loaded into the listed company Taihua Group.

The funds he invested at this time, if he can hold shares in the new Taihua refinery, not only can he usually have high dividends, but also eventually exchange them for the shares of the listed company Taihua Group, and when the next wave of bull market comes, I don't know how much wealth it will increase.

The Lu family has invested in so many projects in Kanem, and Cao Fangming weighs it himself, so he naturally chooses the project that is most likely to be loaded into a listed company to participate.

"Mr. Lu, I want you to help me say it!" Cao Fangming said happily.

"Don't worry, my words still work, Cao Li has grown up watching me since I was a child, of course I hope that the dowry can be beautifully arranged when she gets married!" Han Shaorong laughed, turned his head and pressed Cao Li's ankle behind him very casually, and said with a smile, "Cao Li, do you think Uncle Han will treat you badly?"

She was a little flustered in her heart, but she didn't pull her foot back from under Han Shaorong's palm, and shouted, "Uncle Han will definitely treat me well!"

"Haha......" Han Shaorong let go of his hand and turned back to talk to Cao Fangming.

Cao Li saw that although Han Shaorong turned around, her buttocks moved back slightly and stuck to her feet, at this time, no matter how stupid she was, she could be sure that Han Shaorong was intentional.

She was flustered, but she didn't move her feet away, she was worried for a while before she got up to go to the locker room, and just changed her wet swimsuit, she heard a knock on the door, and when she saw Han Shaorong standing outside, she subconsciously took a step back in a panic.

Han Shaorong reached out and touched her cheek, her body froze there, she didn't know what Han Shaorong would do to her next, and she didn't know how to refuse, the whole person seemed to be frightened, and after a while, she heard the sound of Zhang Jin talking on the deck, and then woke up and walked out against Han Shaorong's body, and her eyes didn't dare to look at Han Shaorong.

Looking at Cao Li's slender back, Han Shaorong smiled slightly, this kind of girl who knows the interest of men and women, but has not completely gotten rid of her shyness, is really fun, not to mention that her surname is Cao ......

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

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

Two days later, Lu Jianchao, Han Shaorong and others formally submitted the planning plan for the construction of Conero Coastal New City to the Draculamo Municipal Committee in the name of Taihua Industrial Park and Conero South Port Co., Ltd., and then submitted it to the Ogun State Assembly for deliberation.

In the fifteenth century, the first European merchant ships sailed into the Gulf of Guinea and used the salt-lake island of Draculamo as a base to trade gold, ivory, and furs with the tribes of the hinterland of the continent

As the core area and capital of the land controlled by the colonists, Gulamo achieved abnormal development.

Even Kanem's relocation of the capital to Ishedan in the center, and the construction of a crude oil export port and oil refinery on the river island in the southeast, did not threaten Draculamo's position in the Gulf of Guinea.

This peculiarity has also created Draculamore-born parliamentarians and officials, who occupy an extremely high proportion of the federal government and the federal assembly, and have a decisive influence in Kanem.

When the Conero Lake Industrial Park and the Lonta Municipal Committee proposed to build a new industrial city on the eastern shore of Lake Conero, Draculamo and Ogon State legislators and officials feared that Draculo's status would be weakened, and immediately raised strong questions.

At this time, the Thai-Chinese Industrial Park, the Dracula City Committee and the Dracula Port Group proposed to include the Thai-Chinese Industrial Park and the area south of it into Dracula Mo, and plan to build the Conero Marina New Town, and the officials and members of the federal government and parliament gave a positive and enthusiastic response at the first time.

Almost overnight, the tide was reversed.

Even if the majority of the members of the federal government and parliament have no interests related to both sides, from a relatively fair point of view, they will not choose to support the plan of the new industrial city in Huwan because it will be released ten days and a half months earlier.

The core contradiction between Huwan New Town and Binhai New City is the Taihua Industrial Park on the south shore of Lake Conero and the ownership of the south bank of Lake Conero.

On the one hand, Draculamo's financial capacity is weaker, it is countless times stronger than the Ronta region, and Draculamo Port Group is even capable of undertaking the construction of the coastal railway branch line, but this must first ensure that the ports along the Atlantic Ocean on the south shore of Lake Conero belong to the Draculamo Port Group, which can further consolidate its position in the Gulf of Guinea and even the entire west coast of Africa.

On the other hand, if the Binhai New City is under the direct jurisdiction of Draculamo, the Draculamo Municipal Committee will be willing to actively cooperate with the scattered processing and manufacturing enterprises in the city to move to the Binhai New Area, especially in the West Bank District and the Xianhu Island District to free up more valuable core construction land.

President Buhari's attitude also changed overnight.

The members of the Lonta Municipal Council and the Oyo State Government and Parliament were very indignant about this, but the influence of the Oyo State at the level of the entire country of Kanem was really not enough to compete with the Ogun State and Draculamo.

When President Buhari met with officials from the Chinese embassy and state-owned enterprises in Qatar on 8 May, the accompanying quota of officials from Oyo Prefecture was temporarily cancelled, but Han Shaorong, Lu Jianchao, and others were invited to attend.

At the dinner held at the presidential palace in Buhari that night, witnessed by many federal officials, the Chinese ambassador to Qatar, the chairman of the China Tu Group and many other figures, Lu Jianchao signed a framework agreement on the cooperation in the construction of Conero Lake Coastal New City on behalf of the Taihua Group and the chairman of the Draculamo Municipal Committee.

The preliminary new cooperation projects are divided into three levels.

The first level is the administrative division, all the land on the south bank of Lake Conero is assigned to the city of Draculamo, from which 260 square kilometers are set aside as the land for the construction of the new coastal city of Lake Conero, and a separate administrative district is established under the city of Draculamo.

At the second level, the Dracula City Council and the Port Group are responsible for funding the construction of the Coastal Expressway and the Coastal Railway Spur Line, which completely breaks the land transportation bottleneck between the south shore of Lake Conero and the main urban area of Draculamo.

The third level is that Taihua Industrial Park, as the developer of Conero Lake Binhai New Town, should not only speed up the construction of existing projects and complete the supporting living areas of the current park as soon as possible, but also start the infrastructure construction of the park as soon as possible.

However, as a federal state, the federal government cannot interfere in the affairs of the state government, and the regional government also has quite independent adjudication power.

The so-called framework agreement signed between the Taihua Group and the Draculamo City Council is not binding on the Lunta Regional Government and the Oyo State Government, and if they really want to take the land on the south shore of Lake Conero from Lonta, they will have to negotiate with Lonta.

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

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

Cao Mo did not come forward, on the day that Han Shaorong, Lu Jianchao and others returned from Ishdan, it was Abacha and Yang Deshan who rushed to Draculamo to see Niz Oppenheimer, and of course they were very "indignant".

Niz Oppenheimer sat behind the heavy desk with a golden pattern and exquisite carving, and patiently comforted Abacha and Yang Deshan with a look of indignation that understood Abacha and Yang Deshan:

"There are too many people in the city hall who are worried that the construction of the new industrial city will have a negative impact on Draculamo – and the weakening of Draculamo Port is even more obvious. It's not for me or against the whole thing, you can't take Lake South Harbor out of Conero from the beginning, let alone think that Dracula City Hall will support you to build the Marina Spur Railway, no matter how much money you have in your hands - it's Dracula City Hall that you really have the ability to do. ”

"Mr. Oppenheimer, what do you think?" Abacha asked Niz Oppenheimer angrily, "Our plan does not exclude the Dracula City Government, and even wants to cooperate with the Dracula City Government and the Dracula Port Group!"

At least until Han Shaorong and Lu Jianchao's formal meeting with President Buhari, neither of them heard a single word from Niz Oppenheimer and Nsanger, and Abacha had every reason to express his dissatisfaction.

"It doesn't matter what I think, I personally can't go against the city council, with all the top management of the Draculamo port group - I can only say that you and Mr. Cao put forward an unrealistic and shocking idea, which is too shocking - and many people in the city hall do not think that Ronta is equal to Draculamo, this is a stubborn concept that I can't change. Nitz Oppenheimer said unhurriedly.

"In that case, Lonta and Draculamo will have to go their separate ways,"

Abacha patted the extra, and said as if he didn't want to face the situation in front of him,

"Draculamo wants to build Conero Binhai New Area with Taihua, and we are not ......unable to implement our Huwan Industrial New City plan on the basis of Taihua Industrial Park and Conero Lake Industrial Park."

"Oyo Prefecture and Longta are not capable of promoting the construction of the new industrial city of Huwan, so why can't everyone sit down and have a good talk? Mr. Cao came to Kanem to do business and make a fortune, and he must not want to make everyone his enemy. Niz Oppenheimer said in a low voice.

From the current site of the Taihua Industrial Park to the east and south, about 120 square kilometers belong to the Lunta area, which is also the starting area of their planned Cornello Marina New Town.

The Taihua and Oppenheimer families have invested too much on the southern shore of Lake Conero, and if this area cannot be carved out of the Ronta and put to good use, they will have to start anew.

It's okay to say that it is better to change to another development company, but many projects on the south bank of Conero are invested and built by Taihua Group, and it is even hoped that during and after the completion of Binhai New Area, it can substantially promote the construction and operation of existing projects such as Taihua Industrial Park and port terminals.

The Taihua Industrial Park, the Life Service Area and the South Port of Conero Lake are the start-up areas of the Conero Coastal New City, which is the basis for the realization of the entire planning plan, and now Abacha has actually proposed

How could Niz Oppenheimer be willing?

"Resources are limited, it is not appropriate to disperse at this time, Draculamo currently only has the spare energy to take care of the construction of the Binhai New Area, and can not continue to extend to the north - and after the completion of the Binhai New Area, it is also a logical thing to extend to the north and to the east shore of Lake Conero, why must there be competition now?" Nitz Oppenheimer said in a firm tone, "You don't come today, I will also go to you and Mr. Cao ...... in two days."

"Mr. Cao, Taihua Group and Huamao Group have long ceased to be a simple competition - the south bank of Conero Lake was once in crisis, and it was Mr. Cao who did not care and came forward to help solve everything. The Oppenheimer family also has the opportunity to cooperate with the Taihua Group, Mr. Oppenheimer, you and Ensanger know this best. However, Taihua Group did not have the slightest sense of gratitude, but betrayed Mr. Cao on the Catelo Iron and Steel Plant project, which Mr. Cao spent a lot of effort on, and joined hands with Huamao Group to take away the project. To tell you the truth, if Mr. Cao hadn't reacted at all this time, wouldn't everyone think he was weak? I don't think Mr. Oppenheimer would have been able to convince Mr. Cao!" said Abacha.

Abacha's attitude is very tough, and there is no way to talk about the topic.

After a stalemate, Niz Oppenheimer did not say anything more, Abacha and Yang Deshan said goodbye and left, and Nsanger, who was standing on the side, did not chase out to ease the emotions of both sides......

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

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

Han Shaorong left Isedan, naturally returned to the new Taihua Casino Hotel to live, and during the day he had to enjoy the scenery of the Atlantic Ocean, and the construction of the living facilities on the south bank was much slower, and there was nothing to pass the time except for the casino after nightfall.

The popularity is not strong, and there is no smoke in the hall, Han Shaorong and Lu Jianchao are sitting around a card table in the corner of the hall, and they can also feel the unique atmosphere of Chinese casinos in Africa more closely.

"What's there to worry about?"

Han Shaorong sat at the poker table with a playing card in his hand and a cigar in his mouth, and listened to Nsanger talk about the unhappy meeting between his father Niz Oppenheimer and Abacha in the afternoon, and said with a smile:

"The two plans, which is better or worse, who supports more and who supports less is clear at a glance, now it is the willfulness over there, if the whole plan cannot be carried out, it is impossible for President Buhari and other political leaders to complain about us, right?"

To be honest, Lu Jianchao's most desired result is to break up.

Messing up Cao Mo's Huwan Industrial New City plan, they don't need to be too hasty to embark on such a large-scale project, and even Cao Mo has to bear all this responsibility for this, he is afraid that Cao Mo's attitude is not tough enough.

Lu Jianchao also picked up a cigar comfortably, cut it with a cigar scissor, and sniffed the tempting aroma of tobacco wrapped in tobacco leaves.

Nsanger knew his father's intentions, and he still really wanted to plan and build the new Cornello Marina City, so that the Oppenheimer family could really reap the super-benefits of the rising tide, and therefore did not hesitate to take a tough attitude towards Cao Mo and Abacha, and worked diligently in this incident.

Seeing that Han Shaorong, Lu Jianchao and others had such an indifferent attitude, he was very depressed, and couldn't help but sneer at Lu Jianchao and the others: "If you really think that you can calculate Cao Mo in this way, you won't suffer in his hands in the past few years!"

Cao Li was sitting at the poker table and learning to play Texas Hold'em with great interest, her English was not very good, but she could still hear the name of Cao Mo mentioned in Ensanger's tone, and saw Han Shaorong and Lu Jianchao's faces suddenly sank, and it seemed that they suddenly talked about something unhappy.

At this time, I saw that the door of the front hall was suddenly opened in a mess, and four armed bodyguards outside the door were pushed and shoved into the hall by eight or nine black policemen with guns in their hands.

The gamblers in the hall didn't know what was going on, but they all knew that they didn't care about it, and they retreated to the side with their respective chips, Cao Li was frightened by the sudden change, her heart was pounding, and when she mentioned her throat, she saw Han Shaorong, Lu Jianchao and other big people staring at the direction of the door with solemn faces, obviously not knowing what was going on - Yan Ming hurriedly took the walkie-talkie down the escalator from the third floor at this time.

"What's going on?" Lu Jianchao asked in a deep voice.

"It's someone from the Longta Police Station, six police cars suddenly drove into the park, and there was no news from the police station, until these police cars stopped in front of the main building, and the security guard informed me through the walkie-talkie - what a bunch of people who eat white rice! I don't know what's going on now, Mr. Lu, you and Mr. Han avoid it first, I'll deal with it!"

Yan Ming didn't know what was going on, he was a little flustered, and was about to arrange for bodyguards to escort Lu Jianchao, Han Shaorong and others to the safer annex building first, so as to prevent them from coming into contact with the people from the Longta Police Station who had unknown intentions and suddenly broke in, the walkie-talkie in Yan Ming's hand rang.

Yan Zhicheng's hoarse voice came out of the walkie-talkie:

"Yan Ming, behind is Cao Mo's car!Are Mr. Lu and Mr. Han still in the hall downstairs?"

After a while, Yan Zhicheng also hurried over from elsewhere and reported to Lu Jianchao: "It was Cao Mo who brought the people from the Longta Police Station here, and the police station in the park is all Cao Mo's cronies, and they are not controlled by us at all, and we have not received any news before their convoy came in......

"What does he want to do?" Lu Jianchao's face was gloomy, Cao Mo dared to spit in Han Shaorong's face when he was in China, and now he was in this posture again, so he couldn't help but think about the worst.

"Cao Mo is not a brainless person, he really wants to be so arrogant and make trouble, it will not do him any good," Yan Zhicheng said in a deep voice, "Mr. Lu, Mr. Han, you should be calm down for a while, I will go out with Yan Ming to see Cao Mo!"

"Why is it so deserted, such a magnificent hall, so many gaming tables, and few customers all night?"

Without waiting for Yan Zhicheng and Yan Ming to leave the hall, Ade and Oulu walked into the hall with eight black-clad bodyguards with guns and Cao Mo.

Cao Mo was wearing beach pants and a T-shirt, her chin was a little itchy, she reached out and scratched it twice, looked around first, and walked straight to the table of Han Shaorong and Lu Jianchao, saw that there was an uncut cigar on the table, took it and cut it slowly, picked up a gold lighter from Lu Yan and lit it, and then threw the lighter back with a "snap".

"It's been a while since Xintaihua opened, and I didn't have time to come over to cheer up, so I happened to have time to come over today to play two games! Why are you so nervous? You don't think I'm coming here with a dozen guns to kidnap you and tear up your tickets! Hahaha - how can you grandsons have such a rich imagination? I'm not a Baha Gidam!"

Cao Mo laughed heartily, looking incredulous, shaking his head and pointing out Han Shaorong, Lu Jianchao, Huang Hebin, Lu Yan, Yao Haiming and others one by one with a cigar, before beckoning Ensanger and them to sit down and ask:

"Don't even stand still, Xintaihua has opened such a big field on the south shore of Conero Lake, you won't refuse me to come and play two, right?
