Chapter 60: News

Xie Sipeng invited a banquet and invited three other friends to the Lana Dere Hotel, all of whom were Chinese businessmen who were engaged in trade and investment in Draculamore. At the dinner table, everyone happily competed in Texas Hold'em – a skill that was very popular among the upper class of Kanem, and it was almost necessary to make friends with Kanem's powerful people.

All three of them had also been to the Golden Yuan Casino, but their language revealed their dislike for the simplicity of the casino.

A guy repeatedly raised his wrist and shook it twice in front of Song Yuqing, afraid that Song Yuyan would not be able to see his Rolex gold watch, so angry that Song Yuqing simply sat next to Cao Mo and ignored the man's accosting.

Abacha was present, and the conversation occasionally touched on the situation of the cement factory of the Sika and Felician families.

Abacha is really a typical sullen personality.

He has no reservations about those who think he has surrendered, and even a little overzealous, but in front of those who need to be vigilant, he has a gloomy and indifferent appearance, very much like a local official.

He only vaguely acknowledged that the cement plant was the most important investment project for him and the Sika family and the Felician family at the moment, but did not mention the details.

Of course, Xie Sipeng, of course, did not mention the import of cement from China.

It was almost nine o'clock, Xie Sipeng said that it was still early, and everyone would play two Texas Poker cards at the Lana Dere Hotel for fun before breaking up.

After hearing Xie Sipeng's suggestion, little Tubman readily agreed, and Cao Mo was a little suspicious that his previous guess about Xie Sipeng and Yan Zhicheng was a little wrong.

The guess was wrong, not that his intuition was wrong.

Xie Sipeng approached Little Tubman and pulled him to the Golden Yuan Casino, which was indeed intentional.

But what is their intention, is it to win Tubman Jr. a lot of money, and then force Tubman Jr. to sell the family business cheaply, or something else?

Cao Mo can't read minds in the end, and he can't peek at it simply and straightforwardly.

Cao Mo now knows that the Tubman family has an investment share in the Lana Dere Hotel, and Xie Sipeng has repeatedly gone to the Lana Dere Hotel to entertain little Tubman, and combined with Xie Sipeng's three friends inadvertently showing their dislike for the simplicity of the Golden Yuan Casino, he can't help but think:

Could it be that Xie Sipeng and Yan Zhicheng's ultimate goal is not to pit Little Tubman, but to cooperate with Little Tubman to move the Golden Yuan Casino to the Lana Dere Hotel?

To be honest, Cao Mo has never had a chance to enter the VIP hall on the second and third floors of Jinyuan Casino, but the hall on the ground floor is three or four hundred square meters, which is too narrow and simple, and he is a little disgusted.

At present, there are more and more Chinese in Draculamo, and purely from the perspective of operation, the demand for casinos is becoming more and more vigorous, but the management of Chinese businessmen and Chinese-funded enterprises who have made a lot of money are very knowledgeable in going south and north, and they have quite high requirements for casinos to play in their spare time, not to mention attracting Draculamo's local wealth.

Jinyuan Casino is too simple and shabby, it can only be said that Yan Zhicheng is testing the waters, he wants to have greater development, and the bottleneck in hardware must be solved.

Yan Zhicheng and Xie Sipeng want to get land near Central Street, of course, the cost is very low, and even the courtyard where the Jinyuan Casino is located is close to Central Street, covering an area of five or six thousand square meters, and it is completely possible to plan and build a luxury building of 20,000 square meters to open a casino.

On the one hand, the construction cost in Draculamo is too high, and the high-rise buildings of 20,000 or 30,000 square meters have to be decorated with high-end luxury, and there is no investment of one or two million dollars in Draculamo.

Cao Mo estimated that Xie Sipeng and Yan Zhicheng teamed up, and they almost had to hollow out the old bottom to make up this investment.

On the other hand, there are state-owned construction companies in Kanem that are responsible for the construction of large and medium-sized projects, and it is impossible for them to cooperate with Yan Zhicheng, who has an unknown background, let alone undertake the casino building, which is a political mistake in China.

And if Yan Zhicheng and Xie Sipeng can't find a state-owned construction company to cooperate, and find a local infrastructure team from Draculamo, the new casino building will not be put into use until the year of the donkey?

For them, the best option would be to lease part of the premises from the Lana Dere Hotel and move the casino directly.

This plan, the investment is very limited, and it can also increase the scale and grade of the casino at once.

If you think about it this way, it is not difficult to understand why Tubman Jr. didn't take his sister Stary's admonition to heart, Xie Sipeng should have made this clear to him, but Tubman Jr. needed to convince the other investors in the hotel.

Of course, it can't be said that his initial guess about Yan Zhicheng and Xie Sipeng was wrong.

Maybe Yan Zhicheng and Xie Sipeng initially thought of setting up a game, so that Tubman Jr. would lose a lot of money and owe heavy debts, so that it would be easier to force Tubman Jr. to commit it.

"It's really good to play two," Cao Mo guessed, stretched his waist and said, "These scenery is good, and you can enjoy the supporting services of the hotel, if you can enclose a few villas near the sea and build a casino, it will really be a big deal......

"Hehe, Little Brother Cao also thinks this is a good idea?" Xie Sipeng asked with a smile.

Cao Mo suspected that he was really a genius, so he really guessed Xie Sipeng's thoughts, and saw that Yang Deshan's eyelids jumped slightly, and he could see that Yang Deshan and Xie Sipeng were really embarrassed during this time, and they also knew about it.

No matter what Xie Sipeng is up to, Cao Mo won't get involved in this kind of thing anyway.

Of course, he also has self-reflection and an almost telepathic intuition, guessing Xie Sipeng and Yan Zhicheng's final intentions, why is there such a big deviation?

His young age and lack of experience are partly due to his lack of experience, but the main reason is that his intuition makes him too vigilant, and at the same time underestimates the ambition and greed of others.

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

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

Tubman Jr. is not very good, but he is a good player in Texas Hold'em, and he is also very good at enjoying life, not to mention that Tubman's family has a mansion in the Aral Island area, and he also has a dedicated suite with sea views at the Lana Dere Hotel.

Inside, there is a standard Texas Hold'em poker table, chips and other utensils.

Everyone walked to the room from the open-air restaurant, Cao Mo stood at the gaming table and did not sit down, and when he saw Xie Sipeng inviting him, he fiddled with his chips and said with a smile: "I am qualified to accompany Mr. Xie to play the big and small blinds of one dollar, Mr. Xie and Mr. Tubman Jr. will definitely be bored." ”

"Young man, you have to be a man, and Dongsheng's monthly salary for overseas employees is more than 10,000, right? You look awkward, but you have lost the face of Mr. Yang-" The guy who always showed the Rolex gold watch in front of Song Yuqing had already seen Cao Mo unpleasantly, so at this time, he sat down at the gambling table first, pretending to teach Cao Mo a lesson from Big Brother, and beckoned Guo Jianlai, "Manager Guo, this is the soldier you bringed, unqualified!"

"Horses are always, right? Seeing you show off your Rolex at every turn today, it shouldn't be fake-otherwise, we'll play nine blackjack and bet on your Rolex?" Cao Mo listened to this guy named Ma Bin talk today, a pair of thief eyes were still sweeping around Song Yuqing, and he was annoyed, picked up a deck of playing cards and opened them, put them in the middle of the table, and said unceremoniously, "Mr. Ma, are you the banker, or am I the banker?"

Cao Mo thought to himself that he didn't dare to provoke the local officials of Kanem, the criminal gang of Kanem, and Yan Zhicheng, who was black and white in Kanem, but you came over with a pig's face, there was really no need to hold back and not slap twice.

Ma Bin was stunned, his face a little ugly.

"Just kidding, just kidding, Mr. Ma may see that Little Brother Cao didn't talk much today, so he really thought he was an ordinary employee under President Yang......" Xie Sipeng was sleek in the end, and when he saw that Cao Mo was going to turn his face with Ma Bin, he quickly stood up and played a round.

“......”

Cao Mo didn't have to be intuitive, he didn't believe that Xie Sipeng had brought his three friends over to participate in the dinner, and he would not briefly introduce their identities in advance?

With normal logic, it can also be guessed that Xie Sipeng did not mention him in front of Ma Bin, but did not say anything good about him, so that Ma Bin was so presumptuous and wanted to pretend to teach him a lesson.

That's good, Cao Mo felt that he didn't give Xie Sipeng face now, he took out his business card from his pocket, threw it on the table with a "snap", and said to Ma Bin,

"I haven't officially introduced myself to Mr. Ma - my person Cao Mo, although I am currently eating under Mr. Yang, I am also a senior personal advisor to Mr. Abacha and the Felician family. If Mr. Ma has the opportunity to do business in Longta, if you have any need to consult, you can come to me. ”

"Longta?" Ma Bin blocked his throat and couldn't spit it out, maybe he didn't look down on the poor place of Longta at all, but Abacha was sitting here as the city councilor of Longta, if he turned his face and spoke disrespectfully, he had to consider whether there would be any unexpected consequences for offending the head snake.

"Didi"

Abacha's mobile phone rang twice at this time, and news came in.

Seeing that Abacha couldn't wait to take out his mobile phone, and after reading it, his brows were raised, and Cao Mo knew that Kanem's cement import ban bill had passed.

Abacha had been fidgeting all afternoon, just waiting for the news.

With this good news, Cao Mo suddenly calmed down, and felt that there was no need to treat his anger with Ma Bin's pig's face.

To be honest, whether the bill passed or not did not affect Cao Mo's determination to invest in the construction of a cement factory in Ibogu, but Abacha staked his net worth and even hired two personal bodyguards to the Ibogu gold mine as deputy security supervisors in order to save daily expenses, but he thought that he could make a lot of money in the short term.

Abacha handed his mobile phone to Cao Mo to read an English text message above, the cement import ban bill was not only passed, but even directly handed over to President Buhari to sign and pass - from the news from within the Patriotic Construction Front, President Buhari will not continue to oppose it, and it is likely that it will be signed directly tonight.

It can be seen that the forces behind this matter are also ruthless enough, and they will not leave a little window of time for cement importers at all.

After this bill is passed, what kind of turmoil will be set off in Kanem, Cao Mo can't predict, anyway, they can make a fortune this time, and then quietly watch Xie Sipeng and Yang Deshan's wonderful shows.

"What is it that deserves your pleasure?" Abacha's joy was too obvious, and Xie Sipeng couldn't help but ask curiously.

"It's nothing, my personal advice to Abachati may be to ask him to make a small fortune, he is saying that he will give me a fee increase. Cao Mo said with a smile.

Abacha also pretended to be reserved and put the phone back in his pocket.

Song Yuqing was standing beside Cao Mo, but when she saw the content of the text message, she didn't understand what impact the whole thing would have for a while.

"Brother Cao, don't be too petty, the five-dollar entertainment bureau, let you get more money from us," Xie Sipeng saw that Cao Mo and Abacha couldn't ask anything mysteriously, so he shouted at the gambling game first, and said, "You can't let everyone stand idle in the room......

Although Cao Mo still owes Xie Sipeng a loan of $200,000 that has not been repaid, Xie Sipeng's seemingly sleek words are still biased towards that Ma Bin.

However, Cao Mo was in a good mood at this time, so he didn't bother with them, pulled out a chair and sat down......
