In early November, Cao Mo and Zhou Han made a special trip back to China. At the Tianyue headquarters, which had not yet been completely renovated, they signed a mine transfer agreement with Xinhai Gold. This time, nothing went wrong.

Xinhai Gold invested RMB 360 million to acquire the Fanie River gold mine in the Mangba area from Tianyue Investment, which has just transferred its ownership relationship. It will arrange personnel to station in the Akwa Mangba area to independently take charge of the Fanie River.

Development of gold mines.

The reason why it took so long is that in addition to Xinhai Gold's need to submit a formal acquisition evaluation report to the board of directors for review, Xinhai Gold's registration of a branch in Akwa and the transfer of the rights to the Fanie River gold mine needed to be approved by the Akwa authorities.

Approval requires a process.

It can be done in more than two months, which is fast enough.

Even though it was confirmed that the Fanie River Gold Mine would be transferred out at the end of August, the preliminary preparations for the mining area did not stop until the transfer agreement was officially signed.

Cao Mo seemed to have paid millions of dollars in unnecessary costs for this, but after signing the agreement, Xinhai Gold's already registered branch in Akwa was able to start immediately after taking over the Fanie River Gold Mine.

The subsequent construction of mining areas, import of machinery and facilities, recruitment and training of local employees, etc., can be carried out quickly without delay; even contacts with the local area have been established early.

Xinhai Gold is a gold company that ranks among the top 30 in the world, and it is a state-controlled listed company. At least at the official level, its influence is not comparable to that of Yibogu Mining, where Yeluzi was born.

In order to promote Xinhai Gold to enter Akwa as soon as possible, not to mention the millions of dollars of additional funds raised in the past two months, in fact by the end of October, as Zhou Shenhe expected, the international gold price rose rapidly to 100 per ounce.

Cao Mo did not adjust the transfer price of Fanie River Gold Mine to more than 800 US dollars.

In addition to the proven reserves of 600,000 ounces, the Fannie River Gold Mine has very little potential for further exploration. No matter how exaggerated the rise in international gold prices is, real capital investment is still needed in the early stage to mine the rock gold underground.

Only by refining it can it be converted into deserved profits.

Since Cao Mo was unable to develop the Fanie River gold mine at this time, instead of greedily holding on to it, he might as well make good allies.

More importantly, the international gold price has risen sharply again, further consolidating the huge value of the Wusang River copper and gold mine. This is the top priority.

The underground of Wusang River is a mixture of copper and gold. When copper concentrate is sold in the future, the copper and gold content in the ore will be calculated separately for quotation. When the price of gold rises, it can be said that the increase is due to the net profit. The current proven gold reserves of Wusang River

It is as high as 1.6 million ounces, and the potential that has not yet been confirmed by exploration is even more astonishingly high.

Cao Mo is not fighting for the interests of the Fanie River Gold Mine. His ultimate goal is to bring Xinhai Gold into the game as soon as possible and build a higher and thicker protective wall for the Wusang River Copper and Gold Mine.

Africa is not China. As long as the interests are huge enough, planning and launching a coup in Africa is not impossible. At this time, Cao Mo definitely did not dare to think that he had obtained legally complete exploration and mining rights, and everything would be fine and he could sit back and relax.

After the international gold price rose sharply again in September and October, Ibogu Mining's profits also rose sharply. The monthly income in October was equal to that of Cornero Cement.

Funds became abundant, but Cao Mo did not speed up the construction of the Wusang River copper and gold mine. Instead, he took out 30 million US dollars from Ibogu Mining and lent it to Cornero Foods to build projects in Drake and surrounding areas.

, acquired a cocoa plantation from the chief family of the Akan tribe.

He did not leave the integration and management of the plantation to Tubman Jr.

Staying in Drake for the past two months, he personally participated in the management integration of the plantation, personally led the selection of more than 2,000 new plantation workers, registered the local armed ranger, and also strongly supported Margot Wo.

Sri Lanka won the first local election after the political reform in Akwa in August.

After all this work came to an end, Cao Mo took the time to return to his country and took the opportunity to sign the cooperation agreement to meet Qian Wenhan, Zhou Shenhe, and Ge Jun again.

The equity transfer agreement with Sun Hung Investment regarding the Gulf of Guinea Shipping and Mining Company had to be signed a month earlier. Before Cao Mo returned to China this time, Sun Hung Investment had already invested 250 million yuan in money.

in the account of Tianyue Investment.

In this equity transfer, Cao Mo and his personal shareholding in Gulf of Guinea Shipping will be reduced to 40% through the domestic parent company Tianyue Investment and the offshore company Tianyue International, and Xinhong Investment will obtain 35% of the shares. Shen Ji,

Management personnel such as Brahm, Abacha and Garon Targaryen hold the remaining 25% of the shares.

Even if the cooperation with New Steel Union is disrupted by Han Shaorong's strong intervention, the Gulf of Guinea Company will inevitably lose the corresponding iron ore trading and transportation business, but Cornero Cement and Draculamo Power Group and the future are destined to continue to grow rapidly.

The rising Usan River copper concentrate and related coal and cement maritime transportation business will support the continued growth of shipping and mining companies in the Gulf of Guinea.

Although this investment is not a surprise to Qian Wenhan and will not bring explosive investment income, it is quite stable like Cornero Energy.

Of course, Qian Wenhan's net worth has reached this level, especially if Ge Jun, who has made waves in the securities market, joins his circle, the gameplay will definitely be different.

The Tianyue headquarters on the east bank of Zhiyun Lake will have to wait until after the Spring Festival to complete the entire renovation. However, the staff of the headquarters in the early stage are limited. It is enough to renovate and renovate more than 1,000 square meters of office space in different areas.

This part of the area has also been renovated and put into use before the signing ceremony.

There will be nearly 6,000 square meters of office space in the future, including the tea bar, screening room, fitness room and other facilities that Cao Mo wants. The renovation and decoration will naturally be much more cumbersome than a simple office and conference room, so we can only do it later.

If it weren't for Song Yuqing's firm opposition, Cao Mo would have even wanted to dig a small swimming pool and a sauna on the ground floor.

Initially, a renovation budget of 20 million was made, and Song Yuqing thought it would be enough. However, after Cao Mo revised the renovation plan several times, he now remodeled the internal framework and rebuilt the exterior facade and surrounding areas.

, the office area of ​​1,000 square meters was urgently renovated and used first, and the budget of 20 million has been spent. According to Cao Mo's current requirements, at least an additional 15 million is expected.

That's enough.

Although the lease signed with the park lasts for ten years, it would be a pity if the park would take it back when the lease expires after ten years with such a high investment in renovation and renovation.

After two transfers, the domestic parent company would hold 600 million in cash. Cao Mo simply used 60 million to transfer the old warehouse together with its nearly 4,000 square meters.

The office land was purchased directly from the park.

This price was originally the price for the park to auction this land to build an office building with a height limit of 40 meters. However, due to the adjustment of the rules on the east bank of Zhiyun Lake, the height limit of nearby buildings was restricted, and the land auction plan was shelved.

The sales of office buildings and industrial buildings in Xinhai in recent years have not been as hot as those of residential buildings, and Zhiyun Lake Industrial Park is an old industrial area in Xinhai, so the price of office and commercial land is not high.

However, Cao Mo acquired the property rights of the old warehouse and the associated office space to use it as the headquarters of the parent company, but he did not care about the comings and goings of the three melons and two dates.

Although Song Yuqing refused to let him build an indoor swimming pool, Cao Mo returned to China this time. After the signing ceremony, he invited Zhou Shenhe, Qian Wenhan and other guests to visit Tianyue's new headquarters. He saw that the headquarters was mainly connected to the empty space by the lake.

Just planted some tall camphor trees, but couldn't help but ask Song Yuqing in a low voice:

"Why just plant camphor trees? We paved the open space near the lake with stones and planted thirty or fifty camphor trees. It doesn't reflect our style..."

"The greening effect of camphor is good. You can transplant adult trees directly and the price is relatively affordable. What are you planning?" Seeing Shen Ji, Chen Rong walked to the front with Qian Wenhan, Zhou Shenhe, Ge Jun and others.

Song Yuqing glared at Cao Mo and asked.

"You really should accompany me to stay at Hubin Yashe for a while. This is the headquarters of the domestic parent company. The environment can't be as good as Hubin Yashe, right?" Cao Mo asked, spreading his hands.

"In Longta, you can move some precious trees that are hundreds of years old along the road built by the hydropower station at almost no cost. But if Xinhai wants to do this, adding another 10 million to the budget will not reach the level of Lakeside Villas.

Please be more tolerant of the effect of the garden. Even if you are in China, you may not have time to come here, so why are you putting so much effort into it?" Song Yuqing said angrily.

Sitting down under the newly built wooden pavilion by the lake, everyone gathered around the stone table, and the topic was still inseparable from the current stock market and the rising international gold market.

Two years ago, the Shanghai Composite Index fell to a low of more than 980 points, but just last month, the Shanghai Composite Index rose to more than 6,300 points, an increase of more than six times in just over two years. Even after the high point appeared, recently

It has been volatile for a month, with some corrections, but the money-making effect of the stock market is still exciting.

Driven by the bull market and the international gold market, Xinhai Gold's market value has increased tenfold in two years, and currently reaches a total market value of 80 billion. Qian Wenhan holds 12% of Xinhai Gold's shares, even though he has always

I am firmly optimistic about the development of Xinhai Gold, and this time I couldn't help but take advantage of the high point to cash out 1.6 billion in cash.

Qian Wenhan, coupled with the investment income he can cash out at any time in the self-operated department of Dongjiang Securities, he has more than 3 billion in cash, which can be said to be extremely rich.

Dongsheng Group's main businesses are the production of grain, oil and aluminum profiles, which are both traditional industries. However, the real estate assets that have attracted the attention of the current market have not yet had time to be incorporated into listed companies. Therefore, the rise in stock prices in this bull market has been obvious.

It is much weaker than Xinhai Gold, but the market value from the lowest point to the highest point is three times different.

Veterans like Ge Jun are also confused about the current securities market conditions. Sitting by the lake, he couldn't help but sigh: "The stock market is dominated by inflated enthusiasm. At this stage, any research and value judgment on the market, industry, etc. will be

It can lead to big or small losses, and only investors who do not do research and judgment can gain the most. We can’t tell how the stock market will go in the future, whether it will create new highs, and we can only take a step to see.

step……"

In any case, even Qian Wenhan couldn't help but reduce his holdings in Xinhai Gold's stocks and cash out. Although Cao Mo will soon have 500 million in cash available in the country, it is impossible for him to dive in at this position. He can only

Listen to the fun.

Ding Zhaoqiang is currently eager to conduct a private placement in order to integrate the real estate business into a listed company and solve the problem of the shortage of funds for the development of the real estate business. Because funds of all sizes are flowing into the securities market crazily, the real estate market that started in 2002 is currently experiencing

Stagflation and slow sales have intensified the financial pressure on Dongsheng Real Estate's business.

Investors like Qian Wenhan, who hold huge amounts of cash, are also the targets that Dongsheng is actively pursuing for this additional issuance. However, the stock market is still too crazy. Not only Qian Wenhan and Ge Jun, but also most investment institutions

They all felt guilty and did not dare to spend real money to participate in Dongsheng's additional issuance at this position.

In the past, investment institutions that had close cooperation with Dongsheng would at most agree to mortgage lending funds to support the development of Dongsheng's real estate business; if they want to conduct additional issuance, a 40% discount on the stock price may be considered, but in this case, let alone major shareholders such as Ding Zhaoqiang.

, other small and medium-sized retail investors will never agree.

This is inevitable.

Just like Zhou Shenhe said that based on the current stock price of Xinhai Gold, he would issue additional shares with a market value of 6 to 7 billion and integrate Yibogu Mining into Xinhai Gold. Cao Mo would also ask them to go aside and cool off.

The temporary craze can no longer reflect the fundamentals of stock value. Apart from speculative funds, how many investment institutions dare to participate in additional issuance plans with a lock-up period of one to two years?

Dongsheng's additional issuance plan has been discussed for several months, but there has been no substantial progress yet.

The market value of the shares held by Chen Rong in Dongsheng has risen to one billion. However, Ding Zhaoqiang is still focused on additional issuances and has forced board members and management not to reduce their holdings of stocks, so he has not reduced his holdings of stocks to cash out for the time being.

Opportunity.

“Now we are engaged in additional issuance and asset restructuring, which can only be done by state-controlled listed companies. On the one hand, there is policy support from above, and on the other hand, state-owned assets are put into listed companies. The pricing flexibility is relatively large, and there is no problem of asset loss.

"And for private listed companies or the objects of reorganization are private assets, the problem is complicated," Ge Jun said with emotion, "However, the big direction in the future is to find ways to put assets into listed companies..."

Cao Mo is still in the foundation stage of development. At the same time, affected by the capital environment in Africa, he has not yet considered capital operations. However, Qian Wenhan must have considered all these things when investing in the Gulf of Guinea Shipping and Mining Group.

Inside.

At present, there are already several listed companies in China that are mainly engaged in ocean transportation. As long as the focus of the country's foreign strategy can one day clearly fall on Africa, the business of the Gulf of Guinea Shipping and Mining Group will be incorporated into a company whose main business is ocean transportation.

It is not particularly difficult for Qian Wenhan and Ge Jun to run a listed company.

Of course, Cao Mo still holds control of the Gulf of Guinea Shipping and Mining Group. If they want to achieve this goal, they cannot do without Cao Mo's cooperation.
