Chapter 79 Investigation
(Thank you to the new alliance leader Jiba for your generous support. I still owe two updates today...)
There is a seven-hour time difference between China and Draculamore. Lu Jianchao and the others had probably rested on the plane. At this time, they were not sleepy at all. They even wanted to take advantage of Yang Deshan and the others' sleepiness to spy on more clues. They rushed to the dormitory and asked to continue. Sit down in the living room and chat.
Facing the arrival of Lu Jianchao, they took a strong stance in interrogating and investigating prisoners. Not to mention Cao Mo, Yang Deshan and Xie Sipeng were full of resentment and obvious resistance.
However, let alone Yang Deshan, Xie Sipeng did not want to offend the Lu family, so he sat tiredly in the living room, closed the door, and introduced some things to Lu Jianchao.
To clear the Lu family's suspicions, most things cannot be hidden.
However, having communicated with Shen Ji beforehand, Yang Deshan felt no pressure except for being dissatisfied.
"It has been almost two and a half years since we arrived in Draculamore. We were not very familiar with this country before. Around the beginning of June last year, Xiao Cao heard someone mention that there were tribes mining gold mines on the northwest border of Kanem. He told us Manager Guo of the branch rushed to the Longta area together, and I was still in the country at the time,"
Yang Deshan deliberately kicked Guo Jian away and did not let Guo Jian participate in this reception. He even did not let Guo Jian participate in the previous investment in Lana Del Rey Hotel facilities. At this time, the matter must be made clear to prove their innocence. The grievances between Cao Mo and Guo Jian cannot but be mentioned.
"Because of this contradiction, Xiao Cao was particularly unhappy with our participation in the development of the Ibogu gold mine. He went directly to cooperate with the local Felician family, purchased equipment and rented it to others, and helped them improve the mining technology and process. Mr. Xie There is a gold mining team in China. Recently, the domestic environmental law enforcement has become stricter. There is no way for a small gold mining team to survive. They opened a gold shop in Kanem more than two years ago. They pay more attention to Kanem's gold than us. Mining. Xiao Cao helped the Felician family sell gold to exchange for foreign exchange to buy imported equipment, and found Mr. Xie. Mr. Xie knew that there was a gold mine in Longta, and contacted me to cooperate with Guo Jian to find a new gold mine in Qiao Nai Village, Longji. The current situation is that Xiao Cao is helping the Sika family and the Felician family in Longta to mine gold mines, build cement plants, and build farms in Ibogu, and also find China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation to help build hydropower stations there—Xiao Cao is very old. Although he is young, he is very capable. His family and Mr. Chen Rong, the director of our group, are also family friends. As for us, we have successively invested 20 million in the Qiao Nai Gold Mine. This time Mr. Lu accompanied Mr. Shen to Dracula Motors. Come on, we also see a good opportunity and sincerely want to invest in hotel assets in Draculamo. I don’t hide it from Mr. Lu. In addition to the company’s business, our personal investment in Canem has not been smooth sailing. We previously raised funds in China. We paid 20 million and wanted to import a batch of cement to Kanem for exchange. Just in time for the ban on Kanem cement to be passed, we went through a lot of trouble and found the deputy governor of Ogun State to smoothen the relationship and get this batch of cement. Ship it into Kanem. Of course, this time we just barely kept the principal, because they are powerful, and this batch of cement can earn at least three to four million US dollars at the current domestic price of Kanem! If Mr. Lu wants to, we can also We will arrange for Mr. Lu to meet with the deputy governor, but it is best not to question him face to face about cement smuggling, as this will embarrass us in Draculamore in the future..."
"I know how to measure this. It seems that your career in Kanem is not small." Lu Jianchao said, staring at Yang Deshan with bright eyes.
"Compared to Taihua Group, we are just doing it in a small way, mainly because we want to seize more opportunities in Kanem." Yang Deshan said.
Yang Deshan's current thinking is very clear. Asking Lu Jianchao to see with his own eyes that they really want to invest and do things in Kanem can at least minimize the suspicion of manipulation.

Lu Jianchao proposed to go to Yibogu Gold Mine and Qiao Nai Gold Mine to take a look. Yang Deshan and Xie Sipeng could not refuse and signaled Cao Mo to agree.
Lu Jianchao and the others first rested in Dormitory Building No. 3. Cao Mo and the others walked back to Dormitory Building No. 1. Yang Deshan said to him, "Can you contact Abacha to make arrangements?"
"What to contact?" Cao Mo said dissatisfied, "They want to go and see them, and we agreed, but there is no need to serve them comfortably. Tomorrow we will go around Kadero and kill them first.
Let’s talk about it later, turtle grandson.”
Xie Sipeng smiled and patted Yang Deshan on the shoulder, indicating that they should not be too weak.
"Okay!" Yang Deshan wanted to settle the matter the most, but Cao Mo and Xie Sipeng had the same attitude, so they could only arrange it this way.
Cao Mo returned to Dormitory No. 2 and saw Zhou Han had just entered the room.
He cursed and complained dissatisfiedly: "Who the hell are the Lu family, do you think we are all fraudsters? Damn, I really don't want to serve them - I was defrauded of money. If you have the ability to call the police to arrest me, I
Her mother has nothing to do with this matter, and even now she won’t let her go to sleep!"
"Mr. Lu came here in person this time because he wanted to understand the situation clearly." Zhou Han said with a smile on his face.
"Never mind, I'm getting angry just thinking about it." Cao Mo ran up the stairs angrily and saw that the lights in Song Yuqing's room were turned off, but she herself opened a crack in the door and peeked out.
Cao Mo squeezed into Song Yuqing's room, closed the door and turned on the light.
"What are you doing?" Song Yuqing asked in a soft voice, trying to push Cao Mo out.
"When I come back, I have to stay in your room or go to your room for a while. I have to do a full performance. I don't want to be silenced by a fraudster..." As Cao Mo spoke, he stretched out his hand and pinched Song Yuqing.
"Ah!" Song Yuqing cried out in pain unexpectedly, staring at Cao Mo with her beautiful eyes wide open.
"Don't tell me, your scream is quite interesting, much better than the heroine in the action movie." Cao Mo said.
"What kind of action movie heroine is a mess?" Song Yuqing then thought about what Cao Mo was talking about, reached out and grabbed his waist and pinched it, gritting her teeth, "Doesn't it sound good? You can also call me one...
…”
"..." Cao Mo raised his hands to surrender, but Song Yuqing still pinched him for a while before letting go.
Cao Mo fell onto Song Yuqing's fragrant bed, and the corner of the bed bumped against the wall.
"Be gentle!" Song Yuqing said with a glare.
"It has to be heavy first, and then it can be lighter!" Cao Mo said.
"You have to be gentle, right?" Song Yuqing pretended to come over and pinch Cao Mo again.
Cao Mo laughed and rolled on the bed to avoid it. Song Yuqing refused and knelt down on the bed. However, when she heard the head of the bed hit the wall again, she felt embarrassed to get up. She sat on the head of the bed and rolled her eyes at Cao Mo.
Song Yuqing had already fallen asleep and woke up when she heard the sound of them coming back. She was wearing her nightgown, which was too empty and too embarrassed to add some underwear. She sat on the bedside and talked to Cao Mo to learn about the details of their pick-up at the airport.
Condition.
Cao Mo stayed in Song Yuqing's room for half an hour before going back to wash up and go to bed...

The next day, four off-road vehicles and twelve bodyguard drivers accompanied Cao Mo, Xie Sipeng, Yang Deshan, Lu Jianchao, Lu Yan, and Zhou Han from Cardero, the capital of Oyo State, to Lungta.
Lu Jianchao was in a hurry, and Cao Mo also proudly told the driver to show his best performance, and the off-road vehicle drove very fast, speeding on the bumpy gravel road at a speed of eighty or ninety yards.
Cao Mo, Xie Sipeng, and Yang Deshan had long been accustomed to the terrible road conditions in Kanem and had no problems at all. However, when they arrived at the Qiong Nai tribe four hours later, Zhou Han started to vomit violently after getting off the car, and they did not recover for a long time.
.
Lu Jianchao and Lu Yan also looked pale, but they could only hold back and remain silent.
Although the construction of the Qiong Nai Gold Mine is very simple, it has been equipped with complete sets of mining equipment. Xie Sipeng, Yang Deshan, and Xu Sheng hired five engineers and foremen from China to lead more than 60 workers to operate it smoothly. Golden Day
Mining volume has also increased; there are six locally hired armed security guards guarding the mining area.
They contracted the mining area directly from the chief of the Qionai tribe, and the security guards were hired directly from the Qionai tribe. They were relatively reliable, mainly to prevent local criminal gangs from targeting them.
After deducting various costs, the Qionai Gold Mine now earns nearly US$2,000 in profit every day.
Compared with the total investment of about two million US dollars before and after, there will be a net profit of nearly 600,000 US dollars per year in the future. Although it is not a huge profit, it is still a pretty good investment.
And all this is obviously not for show.
After seeing the Qionai Gold Mine, at three o'clock in the afternoon everyone drove to the Ibogu tribe.
Although the complete set of mining equipment has just arrived at the site today, and Kabuga is leading people to study the installation and commissioning plan, the scene in Yibogu is much bigger than Qionai.
There are nearly fifty large and small transportation vehicles parked in front of the cement factory waiting for cement shipment. Now more than three hundred tons of cement are transported from here every day.
After the cement plant was completed and put into operation, the infrastructure teams were mainly transferred to the hydropower station construction site. There were more than 150 construction workers. Cao Mo even directly started preparatory work for the construction of the second hydropower station.
In the gold mining operation area, the rock gold operation has been suspended, waiting for the installation of equipment, while the placer gold operation continues.
As for the mining security team, led by Owema, there are already sixteen armed security guards, plus two majestic lion hounds.
The last time he went hunting in the primitive jungle, Cao Mo specially brought these two hunting dogs with him. This time when he saw Lu Yan and Zhou Han, he just growled twice and lay quietly at Cao Mo's feet.
After walking around for a while, Cao Mo arranged for someone to make tea on the balcony in front of his office and bedroom. He shrugged and said to Lu Jianchao, "Although I am just earning a hard-earned salary here, Mr. Lu should believe that
I have nothing to do with the whole thing, right? Besides, when we talked about the cooperation in the casino before, Mr. Lu didn’t take me seriously, and he didn’t have anything to do with me..."
"Can I meet Mr. Felician and the Abacha you mentioned?" Lu Jianchao asked.
"The Taihua Group is indeed a big business in Xinhai, but Felician and Abacha are also local snakes in Longta. Their industry is not limited to here. If they are unwilling to come forward, please understand Mr. Lu!
"Cao Mo said unceremoniously.
Lu Yan had no way to call the police this time after he was cheated out of 50 million yuan, and he felt very uncomfortable. When he went to Dracula Mo again and saw that Cao Mo was full of resistance and everything he said was sarcastic, he felt a little angry.
Lu Yan wanted to have a fit, but Lu Jianchao was still able to keep his composure.
In his opinion, it was normal. If someone did something right, they would mobilize troops to investigate, but they would have to endure the dissatisfaction of others.
Cao Mo took out his satellite phone, dialed two numbers at random, jabbered in Yoruba, then hung up the phone, spread his hands and said:
"Felician, Mr. Abacha is a little busy, I'm afraid I won't have time to show up today. The last time Mr. Shen came over, Dongsheng donated a road construction fund to the local area, and Mr. Abacha agreed to receive him. Lu As always here today, I don’t need to hide something from you. The construction funds for the Ronta-Daculamo Highway were actually provided by Dongsheng from the beginning to the end - the first 160,000 US dollars was Dongsheng’s acquisition of the tower. Mr. Chen Bacha was the middleman for the Buman family crushing plant, and received the employment fee. However, Mr. Abacha was a decent man and a rare high-moral official in Kanem. He did not think of taking this fund. He didn't even bother to take the money from his personal pocket. In the end, he donated the money to Longta through the consulate and the China Business Center. Mr. Shen came over and added another $50,000. If Mr. Lu has any questions, this is OK Ask Counselor Yang Xu and General Manager Mo Wenjun to verify - Mr. Mo is from our Xinhai, and was transferred to Draculamo from New Overseas Economic and Trade Group. Maybe Mr. Lu and Mr. Mo still know each other."
Cao Mo was young and energetic, and the harder his temper was, the more it appeared that they were justified, but Yang Deshan had to take the responsibility of standing up and smoothing things over, saying:
"It's hard for Mr. Lu to get Kanem. Mr. Mo will definitely make time to meet. How about we arrange dinner at the China Business Center tomorrow? Mr. Ma, Mr. Zhou, and Lana who participated in the asset acquisition of Lana Del Rey Hotel We can invite Mr. Tubman Jr., the investor of the Delray Hotel, tomorrow night, but Yan Zhicheng, Mr. Yan of the Golden Dollar Casino, has a more special status and it is not appropriate to show up directly at the China Business Center. We will find another opportunity to get together with him. In addition, Mr. Xie also has some investment projects in Draculamore, we can also visit them - Mr. Lu, do you think this arrangement is suitable?"
"Mr. Felician, since Mr. Abacha can't meet, can Tubman arrange a meeting?" Lu Jianchao asked.
Xie Sipeng very cunningly set his sights on Cao Mo, hoping that the young and energetic Cao Mo would continue to stand up to Lu Jianyan.
Cao Mo is not stupid, he has already shown his temper, so why should he continue to rush in and attract hatred?
"Mr. Xie has a close relationship with Mr. Tubman. Why don't you let Mr. Xie get in touch?" Cao Mo said.
"Ahem," Xie Sipeng couldn't escape and said bravely, "Mr. Tubman Jr. will definitely have to meet, but we haven't mentioned the situation with Mr. Lu to Mr. Tubman Jr., and he doesn't even know about the whole project. It's gone bad. To be honest, we don't know how to explain it to him now. Mr. Tubman Jr. has done a lot of work on the whole thing, and he even had a very unhappy relationship with one of the hotel's investors..."
"If there are no problems with this investment project, our Taihua Group can directly invest." Lu Jianchao said.
Chapter completed!
