029 Lao Liu was very depressed
Whether it's a profit or a loss, this time is really tired. Anyway, his skin was at least two shades darker, and he was originally a white and clean young man.
Put on your hat and take a look around your vegetable patch. Some common vegetables have been planted, and now they are all sprouting up small seedlings. Of course, you are so ruthless here, Comrade Liu also took extra care of it and planted two large pools.
One pound of garlic can be exchanged for two pounds of beef, so you don't have to think about it. If you buy a pound less, you will earn a pound.
Seeing him wandering around the vegetable field, the chickens at home rumbled over, "chirping" and asking him for food.
Here in Kenya, home farming is also mostly rough. It's just that Lao Liu's side will feed the piglets and chickens every day according to the usual way of raising at home, which also makes them develop habits.
It's okay, at least the chicks often break out of prison to play by themselves, after all, they didn't come to scourge these little seedlings that have just grown.
When I bought it, it was a big chicken cub of about half a catty, and in less than a month, that body was also violently growing. Especially those turkeys, which are now of this size, are not simple.
The faster you grow, the better, and in the future, you will be able to try roast turkey in earnest. When I was in China, the price of that turkey meat was also quite high.
While playing with the chickens, Masika walked in from outside.
"Old Ma, is there something?" asked Lao Liu casually.
"Old horse", shouted in Chinese, he still felt that it was customary to shout like this. Masika doesn't care, you can shout anything, anyway, you're the boss, you take care of the money, and occasionally you have a meal.
"Boss, our coffee beans have been processed, are we going to send them to CBK's work site?" asked Masika.
"Do you have to send it, don't they come and get it?" asked Liu Wenrui with some surprise.
Masika smiled and nodded, "I know, you definitely don't know much about the trading of these coffee beans. ”
"Cheng, keep some AA grade ones at home, and you can help me move the car up for the rest, and then show me the way, and let's go over together." Liu Wenrui nodded.
If you count the gas money, it seems that you will lose even more.
Masika was very happy and ran over to inform the boss to see if there was a chance to go out with the boss on business. It is necessary to closely unite around the boss so that there can be more rewards.
When he came to the warehouse, Liu Wenrui carried a bag and filled more than 30 catties of AA-grade coffee beans, which was almost half of the total output of his grade.
But there's no way, you can't really be a person who is all over the place, not a silkworm farmer, right? Don't say that you still have some funds, even if you don't have it, you can't say that you don't keep some coffee for yourself.
Thinking of this, he put the AA-level bag aside again. I won't sell this, and I have to keep it for my friends. What if Sister Wang and they come over early? This coffee bean will have to be loaded with two or three catties alone.
If you don't blame anything else, you can blame yourself for producing too little.
For these things, Masika would not have paid attention. Liu Wenrui is the boss, he can do whatever he wants. They were all packed up, and when they sat in the co-pilot, Comrade Lao Ma also carefully swept the soil on his body.
This is the second time I came out with Liu Wenrui, and the last time I went out to buy rapeseed together. Anyway, he felt that only by working with Liu Wenrui often was Liu Wenrui's number one worker, and he could sign a formal employment contract.
Under the guidance of Masika, I drove for more than 40 minutes before I arrived at the CBK's work office.
The auction is located in Nairobi, which is a branch. The people in those cooperatives, they all use trucks to deliver coffee beans here, and he is alone, pulled over by a small car, which is a little shabby.
But it's okay, he's not from the cooperative, and he can only maintain the status quo at present. Otherwise, those equipment at home will be blind and the loss will be even greater.
Although he said that he had also done grading at home, after arriving here, he had to start anew according to the grading of others. In case there is a fake here, it is also a reasonable thing.
It's just one thing, which is unexpected, and there is an error with what he imagined.
In his understanding, this CBK belongs to a national public service organization that helps Kenyan coffee growers. What about the actual situation? Not at all.
It wasn't what he understood, it was renumbered, and it was sent to Nairobi for auction. The auction is over, and the money is transferred to his account.
Here it will be directly acquired, you take the money, and the coffee beans have nothing to do with you. Whether the auction price is high or low in the future is a matter for CBK.
For many Kenyan coffee growers, this is good because they don't have to look for a market. Of course, CBK also has to make money to make up for the expenses incurred in the whole operation process, right?
That's why Franklin didn't join the co-op in the first place, but contacted the buyers individually.
Now that Liu Wenrui has taken such a point, after re-screening the rating, the purchase price given by CBK is far lower than his expectations.
The best AB-grade green coffee beans he sent were only 180 shillings a kilogram. In other words, the amount of fifty kilograms is only 9,000 shillings. His original estimate was still 12,000 shillings.
Although his output is not much, the price difference is a bit big, which makes him feel a little uncomfortable in his heart.
Originally, the output was low and the quality was poor, but now the purchase price is still so low, what are you playing?
It was also seen that he, a foreigner, did not know much about the market here, and the staff in charge gave an explanation. The purchase price is definitely lower than the auction price, and the auction price published weekly is only a guideline. Another reason is that a large number of green coffee beans are on the market during this time, which will naturally affect the market of green coffee beans.
And the quality of his coffee beans is really poor. If it were better, it would be possible to give 200 shillings a kilogram. At present, it can only be purchased at this price.
Lao Liu is very depressed, and the consequences are generally serious.
What is frustrating is that this round of losses is a little unwilling, even if this coffee bean is all sold, how much can it be sold?
This is a generally serious consequence, that is, even if he is not satisfied, at most he decides not to sell. It has nothing to do with other people's CBK, people are also doing business. Do you do business, people won't get used to you, even if you're a foreigner.
The whole time, Masika was too nervous to speak. How did he know that the boss didn't know anything about these things? You said you don't know how to plant coffee trees, that's okay. But you don't know how to sell coffee beans, what are you doing this business for?
