"Harvey, our staff at the airport didn't cause trouble for your security work, did they?" asked Liu Wenrui after making Harvey a pot of tea.

Harvey smiled and shook his head, "I'm more relieved to have them." But the international attention that your Chiefs' Conference has attracted so much attention that there are already a lot of journalists on their way to Nairobi. ”

"Haha, it's not a lot, maybe more than a hundred. Liu Wenrui said with a smile.

"They all stayed in our hotel, which was a small income for us. It's not just about interviewing the Chieftains, it's the little washing plants we've recently acquired outside that they're really interested in. ”

"After the Chiefs' Conference, we will have a press conference to report on our acquisition. So far, our acquisitions have been very successful and have attracted a lot of smallholder farmers. ”

"Simon, how many have you acquired now?" asked Harvey curiously.

"There are so many farmers, and every day we are adding them in various countries. Liu Wenrui said with a smile.

"However, this acquisition also exceeded our original plan, and I didn't expect people from all over the world to have a lot of confidence in us. Our company's estimated annual production capacity may reach 50,000 tons. Isn't that a scary number?"

Harvey looked at Liu Wenrui with a hint of shock, this is not just scary, but easy to scare people out of heart disease.

I have exercised a big heart over the years, and after hearing this, my heart was jumping violently, and my hand holding the teacup shook a few times.

"If that's the case, wouldn't you trade more than $1 billion a year?" asked Harvey, calming his shock, as he put down his teacup.

"Harvey, where will there be so many. Liu Wenrui smiled and shook his head.

"A large part of these beans are ordinary coffee beans, just like the ones that are in the auction room. So there's not a lot of value they can create, and it's almost all of what we use to produce instant coffee ourselves. ”

"If we can run it well, I should be able to make more than $400 million in profits from these beans. If you can cultivate some more champion beans, you can still make some money, but this depends on luck. ”

"Simon, are you talking about profit, profit after all expenses are removed?" asked Harvey, looking at him.

Liu Wenrui nodded, "These coffee beans are scattered in various countries, and the cost of transportation occupies a high share of the cost. Then there is the labor cost and storage cost, although these two parts are not very high, but because the number of coffee beans is too much, there is also a lot. ”

"Of course, this is only one of the benefits we expect at the moment. It also depends on whether there are so many dealers who come to us to purchase, and now it is not like hundreds of tons before, but tens of thousands of tons. There is a lot of pressure on sales, and it's sad to watch making money. ”

"Simon, I don't really know what to say. Harvey smiled wryly and took a sip of tea.

"And that's just the money you make from selling your coffee beans, but if you add in the money you make from instant coffee? I can't imagine how much money you can make in a year in the coffee bean trade. ”

"Xavi, you can't just look at how much money we might make. It also depends on the pressure we are taking, the competition is really fierce now. Liu Wenrui said with a wry smile.

"Let's put it this way, now that we've put all of our net worth into this, our current profit is only enough for our normal monthly expenses. If the sales of coffee beans are greatly hindered, then the city we are about to build will always be a castle in the sky. ”

"We were taking a risk, but we really didn't want to see such a great opportunity slip away in front of our eyes, and the city needed a lot of money to build it. ”

"You have also seen the plan of our city, and it takes too much money to build it as much as possible. I regret it all now, if I had so much money and I was just doing business or enjoying life, how would I spend it?"

"Don't say anything else, let's just say how much operating expenses will be invested in this city every year after the construction is completed? Anyway, the more I look at that number, the more distressed I become. ”

"Harvey, there's something I'd like to consult with you about first. Do you think that in the future our city will be much more prosperous than Nairobi?"

Harvey was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment, and shook his head, "Simon, I don't think so." If you do grow to that extent, there will be a lot of interests involved in the city. As long as you don't get involved in certain things, I don't think anyone will care. ”

"But you also reminded me that we can only be good friends in the future. In terms of business, we can only do it in the normal way of trading. ”

"Harvey, do you need this? Isn't it too serious?" Liu Wenrui asked with a frown.

"That's the only way to go, because I want to go to a higher position. I need some support from you, but I'm still going to be able to hold on for now. Harvey said with a smile.

Liu Wenrui nodded, "Okay, I'll talk to the company about it." ”

It can be said that this is Harvey's political ambition, and he wants to go to a higher position. If that's the case, you really need to pay attention to it, because it's not just going to affect Xavi, it's going to affect you as well.

And even if you want to help Harvey in the future, you can only support it in public welfare. If you mess up too many messy things, then I'm afraid the future will really not be easy.

"Simon, I don't believe you've made such a big plan now, it's just luck, aren't you unprepared?" Harvey asked.

"It's really a matter of luck this time, and if we hadn't won the top three in the cupping competition, we wouldn't have had the guts. ”

"So far, our plan is going well, and at least we have won the support of many smallholder farmers who are willing to hand over their coffee berries directly to us. That's our biggest takeaway so far, to be able to select a better batch of beans from these smallholder farmers. ”

"It's not clear whether we can make our sales better in the future. You also know that now our company has become a thorn in the side of those giants, and they will definitely find a way to target us. ”

"In the next two to three years, the price of coffee beans will fluctuate to a certain extent, and the only thing we can insist on is quality. Regardless of the international market for coffee beans, we have to compete with our quality. ”

"This is also our only means, if we compare resources and influence with these giants, we will definitely not be able to compare with them. ”

"Simon, I don't think it's going to be a problem. Harvey said with a smile.

"Our coffee beans in Africa are sold cheaply, simply because we don't have direct access to the international market. But you're different, you're a company, not a country. ”

"And your company already has a good reputation, I don't think it's a problem to get a better sales channel. And now that your instant coffee sales are going up every week, I think you're going to grab more market share as well. ”

"Your faith is greater than mine, and I can't even think so strongly. Liu Wenrui said with a smile.

"There are so many investments we have here in Kenya now and in the future, and you'd better help me say hello to everyone else, and don't try to take advantage of me. ”

"Especially in the future, after the construction of this new city, there will be some procedural conflicts, and I hope to be able to do a good job. Anyway, whoever makes me unhappy, I'll make whoever is unhappy. ”

"He may want to take advantage of me for thousands or tens of thousands of dollars, but if we delay in the future, it may be hundreds of thousands, millions of dollars. ”

"In the future, in the process of attracting investment, we also hope that the relevant departments will give full cooperation. We're sure we're going to go through the normal formalities, we just don't want to be limited by bureaucracy. ”

"If we don't have a good investment environment, who would want to invest here? ”

"Simon, you can rest assured of that. Harvey said seriously.

"Then I can rest assured, otherwise the first round of investment will not be successful, and it will be difficult for us to find high-quality merchants in the future. Liu Wenrui said with a smile.

"Simon, why can you attract people to invest and not our country?" asked Harvey.

"There are still some differences between countries and individuals, and the investors that you can attract at the national level are almost all in the mineral sector, while we can cover a wider range. Liu Wenrui thought for a while and said.

"For example, textiles and garments, our company can absorb a large part of the production capacity of some small enterprises. If in the future, after the completion of this city, as long as the quality of their products is passed, there will definitely be a stable sales performance. ”

"That's the assurance that I can give them, it's very difficult at your national level. After all, businessmen are all about making money, and maybe your country's economic environment can be more attractive. ”

Harvey smiled bitterly and nodded, although he didn't want to admit it, Liu Wenrui was also the truth.

For example, Liu Wenrui can work with so many smallholder farmers now, but not as a country. I know that it is only the raw material procurement place of those large companies, and now I can only do it.

However, he is also happy for Liu Wenrui in his heart, after all, Liu Wenrui can achieve such results now, which has never happened on the entire African continent in these years.
