The Spring Festival is the peak season for the B&B and hotel industry, so the employees at Muxiang B&B should not expect to enjoy the long Spring Festival holiday - some people at Muxiang B&B have cars, so they can move quickly. Cao Mo hurried back to Tianzifang, Xinzhaizi

It's almost all sorted out.

"Did you really buy a Huachen motorcycle?" Chen Rong was wearing an apron and dressed like a homely person, helping Mrs. Cao move the flower pots into the yard. When she saw Cao Mo pushing the motorcycle directly in, she was curious.

He asked, "How can you possibly get all the license plates in one day?"

Cao Mo told Cheng Xi about this yesterday. He looked into the room and saw that Jiaying and Lily were busy. He didn't see Cheng Xi. He asked curiously: "Cheng Xi is not here. How did you know about me, Aunt Rong?"

Want to buy a Huachen motorcycle? There are several Huachen motorcycles in the Tianyue office, so I brought one over directly. I have been riding in front of Dongsheng Building all day today, didn’t you notice?!"

"The girl who was here just now - the girl named Chen Chang. Her parents came to Xinhai to celebrate the Spring Festival, and they called Cheng Xi and Yu Jing over for dinner..." Chen Rong said.

Cao Mo thought that he had just heard Chen Chang mention yesterday that he and Ding Xuerong would get married during the Spring Festival. He thought that this should be a meeting between the parents of both parties. Cheng Xi and Yu Jing were Chen Chang's best friends in Xinhai, so they were dragged

It was natural for me to accompany you in the past.

"Aunt Rong will spend the Spring Festival at our house this year," Jiaying ran out, took Chen Rong's arm affectionately, and shouted happily and proudly, "Look, I made the right decision, right?"

"Really?" Cao Mo was extremely happy to see that Chen Rong and his father could officially disclose their relationship. He rubbed his hands and asked, "Aunt Rong, when are you and my father going to get the certificate? Otherwise, while I'm in Xinhai,

Let’s just hold a banquet during the Spring Festival - otherwise I’ll be in trouble if I rush back from Africa.”

"How old are your dad and I? Why do we still have wine?" Since Chen Rong had made up her mind to go with Cao Xiong, she didn't feel embarrassed in front of Cao Mo and Jiaying, and said, "

I've discussed it with your dad, and we don't care about any evidence. Let's just make do with each other first. When your dad sees that I'm bored, or I see that your dad is bored, we'll just clap our hands and separate..."

"My dad hopes that he won't be annoyed by you. He has spent half his life with such a beautiful rich woman, and he still doesn't hug her tightly to death? I think it will be difficult for you, Aunt Rong, to get rid of my dad in the future!" Cao Mo

smiled.

"You kid, what are you talking about behind my back?" Cao Xiong reached out from behind and slapped Cao Mo on the head, "What have you done in Africa these years, and what else are you hiding from me?"

Come on, Cao Mo knew without even thinking that Chen Rong had made up his mind to be with his father and had already sold him for everything.

It's been a day of moving to a new house. There are a lot of sundries and clothes to clean up, and the sheets and quilt covers in each room need to be replaced with new ones. Cao Mo is not in charge, Jiaying and Mrs. Cao are busy for a while, and Chen Rong also comes over and works all afternoon.

, and no one has the heart to buy groceries and cook.

Just moved into the new home, Mrs. Cao insisted on having her first meal in the new home, so she directly ordered a local dish to be delivered to her door. Cao Mo didn't eat anything for lunch, so he opened the Maotai and poured it for everyone - even Lili.

After pouring less than half the cup, he was holding a piece of three-yellow chicken with chopsticks and stuffing it into his mouth. When he saw Mrs. Cao slowly walking out of the room, holding a red cloth bag in her hand, she opened it rather sentimentally.

But it was a delicate and oily mutton-fat jade bracelet that was thrust into Chen Rong's hand:

"The ancestors of the old Cao family were prosperous, but they fell into decline in the generation of Cao Xiong and his grandfather. There was nothing good left. The only thing I could get was this jade bracelet. Some people didn't care about it back then. I hope you don't dislike it - Cao

Xiong has never been sensible in his life, and I have not taught him well. He has made two children miserable, and there may be many things that will make you angry in the future. You should be more patient with him!"

Seeing this jade bracelet, Cao Mo couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart. When he was young, he still remembered that when his mother left, he held on tightly and finally had to pull the jade bracelet off.

He didn't want to dwell on the past and said with a smile: "This jade bracelet is an heirloom of our family. My grandma will give this to you, but she hopes that you will be the master of our family in the future!"

After dinner, she put the dishes into the dishwasher. Mrs. Cao happily drank an extra glass of white wine. She couldn't hold it any longer and went back to her room to sleep. Cao Mo, his father, Chen Rong, and Jiaying sat in the teahouse in the backyard.

inside.

Lily knelt down in front of the back window with great interest, looking at the Qingtang River outside the window.

The tea room was converted from a single-story annex on the back patio. There are three annexes in total, one was converted into a tea room, one was converted into a kitchen and dining room, and one is preserved as an independent study room.

The back window of the teahouse opens onto the Qingtang River, and the district government has carried out lighting projects along both sides of the river.

Under the bright light strips, the waves are rippling, and cruise ships occasionally pass by. Diagonally opposite is the newly built stone bridge leading to Houtang Lane and Qingtang Lane, imitating the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Many tourists stand on it to watch the night view of the Qingtang River.

Cao Mo didn't know much about tea art either. He opened a can of Jinjunmei black tea, and when the water boiled, he brewed a pot of it and distributed it to everyone. He said to his father:

"I have a cooperative relationship with Lily's family in Kanem very early. I first mined local gold mines, and then invested in the construction of two cement plants, a small-scale power company, and a food company. How many shares do I personally hold?

There are a few, but generally speaking, I can do well in Kanem - Xiao Junjin's company mainly wins the distribution rights of Huachen Motorcycles in West Africa. In fact, it is mainly me who takes the lead in investing. As for this

This house, you guessed it right, I paid for it. You had just been released from prison at that time, so you didn’t tell the truth because you were afraid that your pride might not be able to bear it for a while..."

"Are you afraid that my self-esteem won't be able to bear it?" Cao Xiong saw his daughter sitting aside calmly, and angrily hit her on the head and asked, "When did you know that, and you still go with this little bastard?"

Hiding it from me?"

"Aunt Rong knew it earlier than I did, and she didn't tell you," Jiaying said, rubbing her head aggrievedly, "I only found out when I went to Kanem to play with my brother during the summer vacation. He was still..."

"Ahem!" Cao Mo hurriedly interrupted Jiaying, not wanting to reveal everything about the gunshot wound he received in Kanem.

"So, I've been trying so hard to run the Wood Elephant B&B and leave something for you two brothers and sisters, but it's all in vain?" Cao Xiong asked, "How much money have you saved in Africa in the past few years?"

"The situation in Africa is more complicated, and the estimation of assets is a little different from that in China. If I have to give a rough estimate, it should be more than 200 million US dollars." Cao Mo took a breath, looked at his father's look of disbelief, and asked

He said, "Are you shocked? Do you feel that there is no need to spend any more time plotting Aunt Rong's property?"

"Go! You stupid boy, why haven't you spoken properly yet?" Cao Xiong scolded with a smile.

"My investment in China is relatively small. Currently, I only have a food factory and a corresponding trading company, which are managed by a dedicated team. The subsequent profits will also be used for the development of the company itself," Cao Mo said. "In the short term,

I will transfer part of the shares, and I can probably cash out 30 to 40 million. If the family wants to use money, they can take this part of the money and use it first..."

In addition to transferring 10% of Tianyue Trading's shares to Xu Bin and Xu Lizheng, Cao Mo also plans to transfer a small part of Cornero Food's shares to Chen Feng and Guo Donghu at a low price so that the management team can work more diligently.

With a good job, you can also share more dividends from the development of the company.

However, no matter how low the price is, Xu Bin, Chen Feng, Guo Donghu and others will have to use real money to buy these shares from him, whether they seek a bank mortgage or borrow money, or raise funds from other channels.

Only in this way can they truly take responsibility for the development of the enterprise.

This is also equivalent to cashing in part of their options.

Through this, Cao Mo could probably obtain 30 to 40 million yuan in cash in China.

Cao Mo had no place to use money in the country, and there was no need to convert the cash into US dollars and transfer it to Kanem, so he planned to leave it directly at home.

"Since you have done such a good job, I will take care of the Muxiang B&B slowly. I don't need to use your money." Cao Xiong said.

"Give me, give me this money!" Jiaying said impatiently.

"What do you want this money for?" Cao Xiong asked.
