Chapter 200: Questioning
Abacha walked over with Nsanger, and Cao Mo and Yang Deshan sat on the terrace by the lake drinking tea.
Looking at Ensanger with a gloomy face, Yang Deshan was still quite worried, after all, the power of the Oppenheimer family behind Ensanger in Draculamo should not be underestimated.
Cao Mo smiled and asked Abacha and Nsange to sit down, pretending not to know anything, and asked, "Mr. Nsanger, who annoyed you, why did you look unhappy?"
A trace of hesitation flashed in Ensanger's eyes, and he asked in a hoarse voice: "Is the gambling agreement between Conero Energy and Sika Idet Power Grid Company a trap set by you Conero Energy from the beginning?"
Ensanger is not confident in the end, his tone should be a coping strategy negotiated by the Oppenheimer family, do you expect to overwhelm me in terms of appearance?
Cao Mo couldn't help but laugh in her heart.
It's not that Cao Mo looks down on people, but when it comes to scheming, Kanem's historical precipitation is really far inferior to China's, and Ensanger's cozy attitude may not be able to frighten the fledgling Xiao Jun.
Cao Mo was slightly relieved when he saw Yang Deshan, and it was obvious that he also saw that Nsange was not confident at this time.
Of course, there is a big difference between whether Nsanger is his personal lack of confidence or Oppenheimer's lack of confidence behind him.
However, Cao Mo no longer considered the possibility of making any concessions, and immediately straightened his face and asked seriously: "Why is it a trap, what loss did the Oppenheimer family suffer?"
"According to the scale of the power station and power plant built by Conero Energy before the end of this year, Sika Idet Power Grid Company should be able to make a net profit of more than 20 million US dollars next year, but according to the VAM agreement, it can only take out a mere 1.2 million US dollars to distribute dividends to investors, is this not a trap?" Nsanger asked with a pre-negotiated rhetoric.
Yang Deshan frowned, secretly figuring out the situation behind Ensang's words, but Cao Mo had already turned cold and said unceremoniously:
"Mr. NSange, you must first understand that we came to Kanem to invest, not to charity. The Oppenheimer family has only invested hundreds of thousands of dollars in Sika Idet Power Grid from beginning to end, and after completing the VAM agreement, they can get ten times the excess return every year, while we have invested hundreds of millions of dollars in Conero Energy, but the annual rate of return is only 20 or 30 percent - Mr. Nsanger, I want to ask you, who suffers more?"
โ...... At the same time, I also hope that Mr. Nsanger can understand that without this VAM agreement, Dongsheng would not have seen the sincerity of the major investors of Sika Aidet Power Grid Company, and it would be impossible to make such a large-scale investment in the future, how can it be called a trap? Mr. Nsanger, I don't know if what you just said represents the Oppenheimer family or yourself, but first of all, you have mistaken the order......
โ...... It is precisely because of our huge investment, with a return far lower than that of the Oppenheimer family, that we hope to get a little compensation elsewhere through the VAM agreement. If the Oppenheimer family is still dissatisfied with such a high rate of return and wants to tear up the VAM agreement, we would rather shut down all power stations and power plants and withdraw our investment than choose to have any cooperation with the Oppenheimer family! My compatriots are full of worries about the land of Kanem and regard it as barbaric, and I strongly advocate increasing investment in Kanem within the group, and strongly advocate cooperation with you
God, Mr. Nsanger, did you come to me today and tell me that I was wrong about you?"
Nsange was already weak-hearted, and he was speechless in the face of Cao Mo's series of questions at this time.
He sat there, but he was not willing to be frustrated, he still supported his waist, staring at Cao Mo with fierce eyes, as if he thought that this would overwhelm Cao Mo in momentum.
Cao Mo didn't give Ensange time to buffer at all, stared at him unceremoniously, and continued:
"The VAM agreement was signed by me for the sake of maintaining the interests of the group, without which the follow-up investment would not have existed at all - and Mr. Abacha and I, out of trust and friendship with Mr. Nsange, tried our best to persuade you to take 8% of the personal stake in Sika Idet Power Grid Company before signing the VAM agreement. I thought you would be more or less grateful, but I don't want to be reproached like you today, and I personally feel very angry......"
"I ......" Nsange was hit by Cao Mo's punch, like a balloon that had been punctured, and the turbulent momentum was immediately discharged.
Nsanger came over today, and he personally holds 8% of Sika Aidet's shares, and it is naturally very beneficial for him to modify the VAM agreement, but he is still not shameless enough, and he can't avoid that he obtained 8% of his personal shares while negotiating the VAM agreement, in fact, he has taken a great advantage, and there should be no other extravagant hopes.
Cao Mo would not give Nsange a chance to speak, and continued: "...... I was very happy to have you here today, Mr. Nsanger, and I was very excited to think that there was a new cooperation, and I wanted to cooperate with you, Mr. Nsanger. Now I know that Mr. Nsanger, you are a person who cannot even eat a little loss, and I am in a very bad mood, so I forgive you for not being here today...... After you go back, please ask the Oppenheimer family to give me a formal reply letter confirming that I cannot accept the previous VAM agreement, and I will report truthfully to the group and urge the group to reply as soon as possible! But I think the final result is by no means what you and I both want to see......
"I ......" Ensanger was crushed by Cao Mo's devastation, sitting there embarrassed, unable to speak, but he was not willing to leave like this.
"Why don't you leave? Do you think I'm going to welcome you insatiable people here?" Cao Mo asked angrily.
Cao Mo turned his face like a book, and Yang Deshan was originally worried that Nsange would not be able to stand it and leave.
In that case, things will be a lot more troublesome.
He didn't expect that Nsanger, who was usually quite arrogant, would leave without shame under Cao Mo's aggressive questioning.
Yang Deshan knew that it was time for him to sing, and in his still somewhat broken English, he comforted Cao Mo and said: "I think you have misunderstood Mr. Nsanger-Mr. Nsanger, as a representative of the Oppenheimer family, naturally wants to show the position and attitude of the Oppenheimer family when we first meet, just like you and I must first represent the position of Dongsheng." Yet, aside, I think that Mr. Nsanger values your friendship, and he even thinks in his heart that the Oppenheimer family is unreasonable to make such a request. You can't get Mr. NSanger wrong......"
"Did I misunderstand Nsangel?" Cao Mo asked, staring at Nsangel.
"I, I'm ......," Nsange blushed and stammered, "and it was my father who wanted to convey that, and of course the rest of our family thought the same way, and I was also very troubled." โ
"No, I don't care what the rest of the Oppenheimer family thinks, I just want to know if you feel that you have suffered a loss, whether you think that I am sorry for you, and that it is not worth it
Gotta be your friend?" Cao Mo said.
Cao Mo's tough attitude scared him a little, and Nsangel, who was already weak-hearted, was also afraid of breaking up unhappily, and the final result was that the chicken flew and the egg was beaten, and his tone weakened, and said: "I definitely don't have this idea, I even oppose their assertion of this, but they asked me to come over and say this, and I can't help it - I was wrong just now, I hope you can accept my apology." โ
"You and I are friends, as long as you don't think so, you don't need to apologize to me, I was a little angry just now, and I have to apologize to you, but I still have to criticize you-" Cao Mo said, Even if Dongsheng makes a concession this time, the attitude of the Oppenheimer family will make us never dare to add new investment in Conero Energy, and even consider doing everything possible to connect to the power grid of Cassiga and drastically reduce the power supply to Sika Idet Power Grid, have you considered how much this will cause the Oppenheimer family to lose? And if you think about it again, if everyone earnestly fulfills the VAM agreement, you seem to have suffered some losses in the early stage, but we will continue to make additional investments in the future, and continue to strengthen the follow-up profit potential of Sika Aidet Power Grid Company - don't say that you will get a richer return on investment in five years, as far as the equity price of Sika Aidet Power Grid Company at this time has been increased? Could it be that Nsanger, your insight is still the same as that of the countrymen, thinking that the money allocated is money, and the shareholding of Sika Aidet Power Grid Company is not money? โ
"......" Ensange originally wanted to remain silent, but Cao Mo stared at him and asked him to make a statement, and he could only nod and admit that what Cao Mo said made sense.
"Nsanger, if you believe that we are still friends, then please believe that our interests are aligned, but within the Oppenheimer family, not everyone is aligned with your interests, and some people even think that you should not monopolize 8% of the shares of Sika Idet Power Grid Company - have you ever thought that while amending the terms of the VAM agreement, is it possible for the Oppenheimer family to take back your personal shareholding?" Cao Mo said. I say this, I hope you don't get me wrong, I'm trying to stir up trouble within your Oppenheimer family, I'm just reminding you as a friend......"
Nsanger was truly silent.
Cao Mo sighed and said: "You didn't come to me, I actually wanted to talk to you about new cooperation with Brahm in the past two days, and now I don't know if Brahm thinks that he has also suffered a loss and is unwilling to see me again." โ
"I was going to come with Rabram to you, but Brahm said it wasn't appropriateโ" Nsanger said.
Cao Mo said to Abacha: "Since Brahm still has confidence in our friendship, then ask him over now!" and said to Ensanger, "I think Mr. Oppenheimer must be very anxious to know our attitude, you can tell him our attitude first: only by abiding by the contract can we protect the interests of both of us, and we will only choose to cooperate with partners who abide by the contract in the end......"
Watching Ensange walk aside to make a call, Yang Deshan couldn't help but sigh: "That Brahm is smart...... Of course, I just don't know if he intended to let Nsange come over first to test our attitude. โ
If Ensanger can force them to agree to revise the VAM agreement, Cao Mo believes that Brahm and the Rupert family behind him will not be able to take advantage of it, but after several previous contacts, he thinks that Brahm's city government is deeper than Ensanger, and he can also look at the pros and cons at a deeper level.
Regardless of the Rupert family's true intentions, Brahm was able to survive until this time without making a statement, and Cao Mo was inclined to think that Brahm was more worthy of cooperation.
