(Thanks to my friends Long Fei 200, EVFA, Tian Zibin, Fish Eat Book, and Maple Bark Old Monthly Pass for encouragement)

Lao Liu was also a luxury, and he sat in the waiting cabin for a while. In the past, even when I returned to my home country, it was only business class.

Xiao Miaomiao doesn't care about these at all, as long as there are people around her, she can stay very happy in economy class. If you can eat your favorite fruit, it will be even more beautiful.

Now Lao Liu's identity and status have risen a lot, so bringing some fruits and other snacks is not a driving privilege. If this is not the first time to go to the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Lao Liu plans to take the little monkey baby and Purr with him.

The distance is not very far, less than 2,000 kilometers, and it takes more than two hours to land at the airport in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

He was greeted by Minister of Agriculture Ghazadi and Minister of Lands Dumalegui, and was greeted by both ministers, as well as a courtesy motorcade.

For Liu Wenrui's arrival, the Democratic Republic of the Congo also gave a high standard of reception. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been allowed to carry so many people and guns, no matter which country he put it in, it's a bit too much.

It's only here, I value Lao Liu's agricultural investment too much, so I will "connive" him so much, otherwise other people will not have this treatment.

"Thank you, it's really an honor. Liu Wenrui said with a smile.

"It should be our honor that Mr. Simon has invested a lot in East Africa recently, and we hope that we can also be favored by Mr. Simon here. Kazadi said with a smile.

"Rest assured, I am very confident in this cooperation between our two sides. Liu Wenrui hurriedly said.

There's nothing wrong with lowering your status, and when you come here, you can look at people with your nostrils. Even if you don't want to fork it, it's not easy to use. No matter where he is, Liu Wenrui is mostly an outsider, and the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake.

After a brief courtesy, board the bus and head to North Kivu province. The main coffee-growing area in the Democratic Republic of the Congo is around Lake Kivu, and Liu Wenrui can only choose here.

Lao Liu is weak in this kind of communicative entertainment, but it doesn't matter, there are Sun Baofeng and Zhou Xianhao. After being introduced by Lao Liu, Kazadi and Dumalegui also knew that these two people were important people in the company, so the conversation between them was very good.

Before coming over, Liu Wenrui also carefully read the information provided to him by Chen Cheng, just looking at the information, in fact, he still felt that it was okay here.

After all, in Africa, all countries are similar, and it is understandable that the DRC is worse than its neighboring countries when it has nothing to do.

It's just that not long after leaving the airport, this road became a dirt road, and it began to be bumpy, which made Lao Liu worry enough. At least in Kenya, it will take a long drive out of Nairobi to become a dirt road, how long has it been driving this time?

From this point, it can be seen that the ground transportation aspect here is really not good. When I get to the planting area in the future, I'm afraid I'll have to do it all over again.

This is an invisible expense, and it is okay not to build roads, and in the future, your truck will be full of coffee berries and it will not be broken.

Xiao Miaomiao does not refuse to come on such a road, how fun it is to bump the car. The small appearance is so beautiful that it can't be done, and the mango is shrunk in Lao Liu's arms and gnawed on it so fragrant.

The second feeling for Lao Liu is that there is much greener here than in Kenya, and the climate is relatively humid. Looking out of the car, it seems that there is a rainforest not very far away.

At the beginning, Xiao Miaomiao was still very focused on nibbling on mangoes, but after nibbling and gnawing, this spiritual head was used outside the car. There are really too many parrots here, and there are many birds with very beautiful feathers, which are rarer than the two at home who still can't speak.

It was not particularly far from the place where Liu Wenrui and the others were going to go this time, but the road was not easy to walk, and it took nearly three and a half hours to reach the destination.

"The altitude is high and the soil is fertile, which is perfect for coffee farming. After getting out of the car, Ghazadi said with a smile.

"We are also very interested in developing the coffee industry, but due to some of our domestic conditions, we really need people like you to come and invest. ”

"Here I can now promise you that no matter where you build your plant, we will give priority to ensuring your energy supply and will not affect the normal production of your washing plant. ”

"Investing in your country is really what our company is considering. Liu Wenrui thought for a while and said.

"After all, my farm is still suffering from locust infestations, and my presence here at such a critical time has shown the sincerity of our company. ”

"It's just that your country is a little different from what we're investing in the rest of the country, and we're here to make a really good Robusta bean. ”

"Robusta beans are highly yielding, but they are slightly inferior to Arabica beans in terms of taste. At present, the main growing countries are also Vietnam and some Asian regions, but these beans are more produced and sold as instant coffee. ”

"I've also done some research on coffee beans in the area. Authentic Kivu-4 has a low acidity, and although it is mild, it has a hint of vanilla, a charming fruity and floral aroma that is still a bit inferior to the coffees we currently source in the rest of the country. ”

"Of course, it's not like I'm looking for fault here. This is also the general perception in the world at present, since I came here, it is because of the yield and unique taste of these kivu-4s. ”

"Every coffee bean has its own soul. While our company is engaged in coffee bean trade, we also pay attention to the cultivation of coffee tree quality. Because we don't just do trade, we care more about production and cultivation. ”

"So this is why the rest of the countries will recognize us and accept our investment after they get in touch with us, and give us a lot of convenience. Because our company is still a little different from the rest of the companies while making money, we not only use African countries as raw material procurement destinations, but we also value common development. ”

This is also a rare thing that Lao Liu has said a lot since he came here, and he has said it all by picking it up.

Because he wants to show his sincerity, he doesn't want to waste too much time here. As for the movement that was made up today, if anyone really thought about themselves, it is estimated that it would have already begun by now.

It's not a good place, and it's much more difficult to make a living here than in the rest of Africa. If it's a mess like Somalia, it's easier to worry, so you don't have to think about it at all.

The DRC now only looks peaceful, but in fact there is an undercurrent. In recent years, whenever there has been an election incident, conflicts have erupted, but the difference is between big and small

Even now, there are many local armed forces. In many areas, government forces do not dare to go deeper, and in many cases the truth is always more terrifying than what appears on the surface.

As for what Liu Wenrui said, Qazadi also recognized it, because what Liu Wenrui said was a real thing. Even in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, coffee beans are exported from Arabica.

In 2012, there were many people who wanted to help the DRC develop the coffee bean cultivation industry. But now, isn't it still the same? It doesn't have much effect.

Even those large companies that have been involved in the past still use this place as a reserve warehouse for raw materials. Just like those mining resources, they all want to make more money.

"Mr. Simon, what do you think?" asked Qazadi after a moment's hesitation.

"We'll be walking around the Kivus for the next two days. It's not just about the small washing plants, it's about the overall planting. Liu Wenrui said with a smile.

"Our company's expected goal is to invest in a washing plant with an annual capacity of no less than 300 tons. As for the ceiling of this washing plant in the future, I don't know yet. ”

"Because depending on the development of our company here, the scale of the washing plant with an output of 300 tons is actually not very large. If we do find a proper cultivation method in the future that can improve the quality of the coffee beans here, then I hope it will be a washing plant with a capacity of 3,000 tons. ”

"Mr. Simon, we can leave the military here and take care of your security with your bodyguards. Ghazadi didn't hesitate.

The 300-ton washing plant is not very large, but it is important to remember that the beans are to be sold exclusively for export.

And they have also done it, the washing factories that Liu Wenrui invested in in other countries are all large factories. Don't look at the small factories that only invest in 300 tons of production capacity, the real money you need to spend is much more than those large factories.

Whoever invests here will be cautious. Otherwise, as soon as I come up, I will tell you that I am going to invest in a super factory with a production capacity of several thousand tons, and at once I will top half of your national output, which is purely fooling people.

Knowing that Lao Liu's destination is here, he has given such a high-standard reception today, and lunch is naturally inevitable. And the ride time is indeed a little longer, and now the meal is a little late.

This was the first official contact between the two sides, and both felt the sincerity of the other side, which can be said to be very successful. It's just that Liu Wenrui's first impression of this place is really much worse, and it is not too beautiful.

The development process here has really been delayed for too long because of the constant outbreak of war, and on the way just now, I could faintly hear the sound of gunfire.

Maybe it's because his hearing is good now, and he's more sensitive to gunshots, so he caught it. For these people here, they may all be accustomed to it.

The investment here is really going to be mostly spent on security, and the annual expenditure on this is a lot of money.

That said, it's good to invest here for the first two years without losing money. If you want to make money, that's later.
