602 Wealth and danger are sought

Nothing can stop Comrade Liu's yearning for the upcoming baby, even if there are nearly nine months left. If you want to say that you can stop it for the time being, that is, Xiao Miaomiao pulls him to play.

Although Lao Liu attaches great importance to the upcoming baby, he is not so nervous that he has to restrict Wang Shasha's actions or anything. Whatever he wants, what he wants to eat, he thinks that everything is natural, this is the best.

In particular, in the process of growing into a watermelon, this sesame seed will be protected by a mask, and there is nothing wrong with it.

Wang Shasha herself was so nervous that she couldn't do it, and in the past two days, she held her mobile phone to see what her mother ate to be good for her baby. Then a list will be made and Lao Liu will purchase it.

After the four old men arrived at the farm, there was nothing to do with Lao Liu, and they didn't attach much importance to Wang Shasha, the daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law.

In order to behave more seriously, Lao Liu also began to get busy.

It's the time to harvest coffee berries intensively, and there are a lot of coffee berries that are delivered to the washing plant every day. Three new washing lines were built to barely meet the production demand.

Therefore, it is imperative to build new washing plants in the rest of Kenya, and even if this season is over, the next big harvest season will definitely be busy.

Because now the coffee berries from various production areas are being sent one after another, there are detailed data on the quality of each production area. Although there will be some small changes next year, they will not be bad in general.

Lao Liu's departure can be described as a top trick. The three new washing plants were selected without any obstacles, and they were all bought smoothly and handed over directly to Su Qiang's construction company to be responsible for construction.

It's all small work, and it's not very technical. After the rainy season has passed, they will have time to work again.

Don't look at the work he does, Lao Liu is still proud, which makes Chen Cheng, who came back from abroad, very depressed. He was tired of being a silly boy, and he did so much as if he had done a lot.

"This round of investment in our company is shining. Liu Gong's tea making seems to have been studied almost completely, and the next step is to purchase a kneading machine and dryer to determine the process parameters. Lao Liu said with a smile.

"It's over, isn't it? Now a new situation emerges. The Democratic Republic of the Congo also sent us an invitation to cooperate, which gave me a headache. It's up to you to decide whether you want to invest there or not. Chen Cheng said.

"Don't say it, although there is also a coffee production area there, but it is really messy there. It's always fighting, and there's no time to be idle. Lao Liu frowned.

"That's what I thought at first, but the conditions they gave were good. We can set up a security company directly there to protect our production area and factory. Chen Cheng said.

"Then I took a closer look at the information they provided, and I felt that if you put aside the risk factor, there is indeed a lot of potential for investment. ”

"Small coffee companies can't afford that high security costs, and big coffee companies have a lot of scruples. They have a lot of options to choose from, and it's a bit of a gamble to venture there. ”

"Actually, what I care about the most is the location of their coffee producing areas, which are not very far from Tanzania, Rwanda, and Uganda. This is still very convenient for our industry to expand from East Africa to Central Africa. ”

"It's also the birthplace of Robusta trees, and it's been a great place to do well in coffee cupping competitions over the years. Our current coffee beans are still dominated by Arabica, and I think we can appropriately increase the proportion of Robusta. ”

Lao Liu touched his chin and hugged Xiao Miaomiao who came to his side into his arms, "If you say that, you can really make a hammer." ”

"Both coffee trees have their own fans around the world, and even the big coffee companies buy both beans. It is only because Arabica grows more high-quality beans and has a higher yield that people despise Robusta seeds. ”

"How many washing plants are there now, and what kind of scale would we have been able to do if we had done in the past? ”

"There are now 107 washing plants there, all small washing plants. The annual output is about 14,000 tons, and if we go over, I think even in the early days, it will be no problem to win more than 300 tons. ”

"And normally speaking, their land there is a state-owned asset, and the lease period is 25 years. If we are in the past, the convenience given is that you can sign two installments at a time, and it will be automatically extended after expiration. ”

"Fifty years later, no one knows what's going on there. Money-making is specified to be profitable, the only thing to worry about is that it is too messy. ”

"When I first came into contact with them, I also learned from them, in terms of weaponry, we are allowed to have a certain percentage of heavy weapons. ”

Lao Liu grinned bitterly, the more convenient the conditions given, the more dangerous the environment there is, and I am afraid that the real situation is much worse than what is reported by the outside world.

"That's the case, and I told them to think about it. The conditions given are really good, and the risks that need to be faced are also very large. Chen Cheng said.

"The key is whether our security company can hold down the field there. Anyway, it can be equipped with bazookas, mortars, but there are slightly restrictions on the number. ”

Lao Liu didn't know what to say, and he was even more worried.

As Chen Cheng said, although Africa is also an important production area for coffee beans, there are only so many suitable areas for growing coffee beans. Don't look at yourself now, you are also crazy about external expansion, but the share that can really be won is not very large. Maybe after a few years of operation, you can have a good number.

As the old saying goes, danger and opportunity coexist. It is very dangerous to buy and sell in the DRC, but the profits that can be made can be very large.

A conservative estimate of 300 tons of coffee beans is much higher than that produced in other countries. The production of coffee beans in several countries that are now investing is expected to be between 100 and 150 tons.

"Nini, what are you doing?" Lao Liu picked up the walkie-talkie and shouted.

"Boss, I'm doing a helicopter overhaul. After a moment's pause, Nelson replied weakly.

"What, have you ever been to the Democratic Republic of the Congo when you were on a mission before?" asked Lao Liu.

"Been there three times. Nelson replied succinctly.

"It's good, you come to me, I have something to ask you about. Lao Liu hurriedly said.

Nelson didn't reply again, although he said that he is now Miao Miao's personal bodyguard, but he still has some temper towards Lao Liu. I won't bear it silently, and occasionally there will be some small resistance.

"The company plans to invest in a washing plant in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, what is the actual situation over there?" asked Lao Liu directly after Nelson came over.

"We've done many missions here, only three times in the rainforests of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Nelson glanced at him.

"During these three missions, we exchanged fire with local forces four times. If we are poachers, then these local forces are poaching gangs. ”

"They're going to hunt those wild animals in an organized way to get development money, and if you invest there, you need at least 300 or so guards. ”

"So dangerous?" Chen Cheng couldn't help but ask.

"A team of 300 people, equipped with advanced weapons, can play a certain deterrent role. In the early stage, it will make those local armed forces dare not attack at will. Nelson said with a smile.

"But it's all temporary, and there will always be people who want to profit from these merchants. In particular, a businessman who can support the operation of such a large armed force will need to go through several conflicts before he can be more stable in the future. ”

"Otherwise, you have to pay protection money to the local armed forces, but you need to pay more. Because of the ongoing conflict, you can't be sure which forces are in control of the area, so the neighboring groups need to give a copy. ”

"We bought passes when we went there, but there was a firefight. The environment in the rainforest is harsh, and it is not so easy to identify. ”

Nelson said it very plainly, but it was a little chilling for Lao Liu and Chen Cheng.

The armed forces of three hundred people, where they belong barely enough. What kind of country is this?

"Nini, they said we could get some bazookas and mortars. Lao Liu struggled.

Nelson glanced at him, "If that's the case, it's okay." However, it also needs to be equipped with more snipers, and when defending, accurate kills can have a good effect. ”

"It's best not to fight them in the rainforest. There are so many dangers in the rainforest that the people sent there need to adapt to the environment before they can actually be put to use. ”

"I'll give you a lung, the cost of security there is much more than the cost of running a washing plant. Lao Liu burst into a foul mouth.

Chen Cheng knew him very well, and glanced at him with a smile, "Decided to do a gang?"

"It's done, rich and dangerous. In the future, the profit there will be more than 10 million dollars, and it will be worth it even if I put half of my money into security every year. Liu Wenrui rubbed his face and said.

"But we also have to discuss it with the DRC to see if we can get more convenience. If we are really attacked in the future, can we use helicopters to transport troops to enter the country quickly? ”

"It's a bit dangerous, isn't it like playing with a bazooka or a helicopter? Forget it, this one is useless. It's just a matter of figuring out a way on itself, and I have to talk to Harvey. The expansion is to support the DRC, not to stay in Kenya. ”

Chen Cheng smiled and nodded, he really fancied the profits there, otherwise he wouldn't have mentioned this matter to Lao Liu.
