274 The lion opens his mouth
Last night's sauce meat won unanimous praise, although Lao Liu's meat is full of meat, and the taste is a little jumpy. This is thanks to the powerful seasoning, put a little more, and the rest is the sauce aroma.
Wang Shasha is more engaged in eating, and she has a heroic energy of drinking and eating meat in large pieces. Even Xiao Miaomiao carried a rib and gnawed on her face full of oil. Don't let go of it, it's delicious in one bite.
Maybe it's because I ate too much last night, and Xiao Miaomiao is a little lazy this morning. The sun was all shining to the little fart, and the little guy rubbed his eyes and got up.
"You're just a lazy little cat. Lao Liu tapped on her little nose.
The little guy put his arms around his neck and shook his body, "Dad, Miao Miao is not a little lazy cat." Miao Miao can't purr, Miao Miao is hairy. Whew......"
"You still want to be a lion cub, let's have breakfast with Dad first, and someone will come to talk to Dad about things today." Lao Liu poked her soft little belly.
"Daddy, when are we going to see Da Maomao?" asked the little guy seriously.
"We'll have to wait. Now there are a lot of things at home, and they all need to be arranged. Lao Liu thought for a while and said.
"Don't worry, although there is still a bit of drought, didn't we bring so much water last time? When Daddy is done, I'll take you to bring them water. ”
The little guy nodded as if he didn't understand, after all, he was a child, and he couldn't think about so many things.
As soon as I washed the little guy's face and went downstairs with the sticky little guy in my arms, I saw a group of people walking in from outside the yard.
"Sasha, you help me take care of the little one, the people from the Ministry of Agriculture have arrived. Lao Liu said with a smile.
"Brother Liu, I think I should apply for some salary with you. I'm working as a secretary and a nanny now, do I have to give some hard-earned money?" asked Wang Shasha after taking Xiao Miaomiao.
Lao Liu glanced at her, "Then you should first give Miao Miao and the little animals the wages to play with you." ”
Wang Shasha thought about it, so forget it. I have a lot of fun here every day, and I still have to eat and live, so don't ask for this salary first.
"Hello, Mr. Simon. To introduce to you, this is Minister Nick of the Ministry of Agriculture. ”
Seeing Liu Wenrui come out, Su Man, who had been here once, hurriedly introduced.
"Hello Minister Nick, I'm looking forward to our meeting. Lao Liu hurriedly took the initiative to greet him.
"Congratulations, Mr. Simon, your coffee beans have achieved fantastic results. Harvey often mentions you to me, saying that if I come over, I want not only to taste the coffee you brew, but also to eat the food you make. Nick said with a smile.
"Haha, welcome, welcome. Harvey has always been busy, and this time the coffee beans sold so well that I sent him an invitation, but he didn't have time. Lao Liu smiled more enthusiastically.
No wonder Harvey said that, he has a good relationship with Nick. That's your own person, and it's easy to talk about anything today.
"Mr. Nick, Harvey also mentioned that you are going to talk to me about the introduction and breeding of my coffee trees. Liu Wenrui asked while making them coffee.
Nick nodded, "Mr. Simon, we don't just want to cooperate in this area, we want to have an in-depth cooperation with you. What do you think of our joint coffee plantation?"
Liu Wenrui, who was carrying the kettle and preparing to water, was stunned for a moment and nodded, "I haven't thought of such a cooperation, can you talk about it in detail?" Harvey is too, and he didn't mention it to me. ”
"Mr. Simon, our initial intention is for both of us to invest together. We provide the land suitable for the cultivation of coffee trees, and you provide the funds to develop together. Nick said.
"What about the amount of investment and the proportion of shares? There is also the issue of future sales, how to divide these?" Liu Wenrui walked over with a coffee pot.
"Mr. Simon, it depends on the size of the area we are working together to plant. Nick said with a smile.
"Although there are factors in this regard, there is always a general range, right? Although my coffee beans are selling well this time, I can't afford to spend the money indiscriminately. Lao Liu said while pouring them coffee. By the way, he also clicked and told them that he would not let Harvey do it.
The reason why they came so late must have been to see how their beans were selling. Now they saw it and knew that the quality of their beans was great, so they looked for it.
And to give him the feeling that the conditions they can prescribe will definitely not be very good. Otherwise, Harvey would have been able to ventilate himself at the beginning.
"Mr. Simon, this cup of coffee of yours is really delicious. Nick didn't answer the question.
"Thank you, otherwise I wouldn't have bought it at such a good price. Liu Wenrui said with a smile.
"Suman, you took so many samples from me last time, do you have an accurate answer as to why these coffee trees of mine are like this?"
"Uh...... I'm sorry. Mr. Simon, everything is normal with our test results. Su Man was stunned for a moment and hurriedly said.
He didn't expect Liu Wenrui to remember his name, let alone turn out the previous things.
"Mr. Simon, it's up to you to choose the environment that's right for these coffee trees. Nick picked up.
"With the land provided by our Ministry of Agriculture Economic and Trade Company, you are working with the folks at our Coffee Authority to operate this new plantation while developing this new variety of coffee trees. ”
"We are very sincere, the partnership of this plantation is for 30 years, and we only have a 49% stake. Once the plantation is established, it is enough to recruit a certain number of local workers according to the corresponding scale. ”
Lao Liu shook his head, "Nick, although the conditions you proposed are very good, this kind of cooperation is not what I expect to see. ”
"It seems like a good way for us to lead a new project, but there are some elements here that are not very harmonious. ”
"For example, in the future, the sales of these coffee trees after they grow into fruit and the construction of supporting washing plants. In the future, there may be disagreements between the two sides on the issue of the distribution of personnel and the issue of management. ”
"You should have seen it when you came here that my future investment in Kenya will be in three aspects, that is, coffee, tea, and flowers. These three crops are also the most important cash crops in Kenya. ”
"What do you think, Mr. Simon?" asked Nick after a moment's thought.
"My idea was simple, to emulate the way I worked with my farm workers. Liu Wenrui said very easily.
"You will provide the land for a period of ninety-nine years, after which my company will have the right of first refusal. Of course, that's as long as my small company is still around. You can send someone to supervise the operation of our company, but I am responsible for the management and operation of the company. ”
Nick frowned, "We have paid so much, how much profit can we make?"
"15%, at the moment I can only give so much. Lao Liu said without changing his face.
Hearing Lao Liu's words, Nick and the others were stunned. In their feelings, a lion like Liu Wenrui opened his mouth widely, not negotiating at all, but closing the door to the cooperation between the two sides.
Lao Liu took a leisurely sip of coffee, "Minister Nick, in fact, I have my own reasons for giving this distribution ratio. ”
"No matter how big the land is in the future, I can only provide seeds and branches of coffee trees from my existing farm for propagation by cuttings, right?"
Nick thought for a moment and nodded.
It is an indisputable fact that the whole of Kenya, even the well-known coffee estates, do not have such mutated coffee trees. Otherwise, he would not be able to come over to talk to Liu Wenrui about cooperation, and he would have developed it directly.
"Whether it's keeping the beans or picking strong branches for cuttings, it has an impact on the yield of coffee beans on my farm. Liu Wenrui continued.
"I'm very confident that after this year's big harvest, my green coffee beans will sell for more than $1,000 a kilogram. It could even be higher. ”
"I don't know yet how much land we can find to grow coffee trees together. But I think there should be a few tens of acres of land, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't have to bother with this small farmer's area. ”
"With such a large area, even if you only plant 500 coffee trees on an acre, the number of shoots and coffee berries required is very high. ”
"Maybe in the next few years, we need to keep replanting these fields to create a working coffee grove. ”
"You can roughly estimate how much I've lost over the years. And I also have to undertake the construction of the entire coffee estate, and I am afraid that the money I earn in the next few years will also be invested in this coffee estate that I am about to work with. ”
"Mr. Simon, you do have a certain amount of financial loss. How about a different way of working together? We only bring in your species and give you 20% of the profit. Nick said.
Lao Liu Le, "Minister Nick, this is the way you want to cooperate the most." ”
Nick was not embarrassed at all, and nodded, "We will make a big investment, and you can also send someone to the cooperative company to supervise the accounts, and the cooperation period can also be increased to fifty years." I think it's a great proposition as well, you only have a few years of losses, but you can make a lot of profits in the future. ”
Lao Liu shook his head, "Minister Nick, then my loss will be great." Because I'm not very optimistic about the company I'm working with if it's managed by you. ”
Nick was very angry, angry at Liu Wenrui's lion opening his mouth just now, and angry at what he said now.
