"On the 20th, the price of gold futures for April delivery on the New York Mercantile Exchange fell by $25 per ounce to close at $920, and fell to $904 during the session, the lowest trading price in one month... ”

Andy was wearing shorts, leaning back on the recliner, reading his emails, while Lima was tossing those Blue Mountain coffees with a Belgian pot, and there were already three coffee cups on the small table next to Andy...

"Boss, they're coming. ”

Andy glanced back at Kenny, nodded slightly, and said to him, "Let them in, by the way, tell Lima to stay in the house for a while, make her coffee, and it will be over soon." ”

"Okay. Kenny nodded, turned and walked out.

Andy picked up a T-shirt next to him, put it on, tidied it up, and walked back to the living room of the room, and soon four elites dressed in half-sleeved white shirts, tie leather shoes, and meticulous hairstyles walked in.

"Boss—"

"It's all here, sit down, now that you're in Jamaica, let's have a good taste of Blue Mountain coffee, okay, although I don't really like its bitterness, okay, let's all sit down." ”

Andy smiled and shook hands with the four of them, members of the business team of his think tank, each of whom was in a group of four, dedicated to project inspection and negotiation.

Everyone sat down, and soon the maid brought by Andy brought hot coffee, Andy picked up a European-style coffee cup, the aroma suddenly curled into the nose, couldn't help but take a sip, savored it.

The four of them glanced at each other, relaxed, and slowly tasted the authentic Blue Mountain coffee with their coffee.

"How does it feel? Although it is a little bitter and sour in the mouth, it quickly disappears, and what I like most is that it has a very low caffeine content, only one-third of that of ordinary varieties of coffee, which meets the health requirements of modern people.

That's why the World Coffee Organization considers Blue Mountain coffee to be "the only coffee in the world that can't find its flaws"...

Tell me, I want to know what you've learned these days. ”

The person in charge of the four people put down the coffee cup, took out a folder from the bag next to him and handed it to Andy, and said: "Jamaica exported about 16,200 tons of Blue Mountain coffee last year, of which Warrenford Estate and Mavisbank Estate accounted for 45% of the export value, and nearly 85% of the total export value was exported to the foot basin country. The United Kingdom and the United States are the second largest buyers.

When we arrived, we found out that Warrenford Coffee, the only government-owned company, and some privately run Blue Mountain Coffee Trading Companies, had abruptly stopped buying Blue Mountain cherries for processing a week earlier.

After understanding, it was learned that due to the impact of the financial crisis, in Latin America, which is relatively rich and commodity-rich in the world, the impact of commodity economy and trade is very large, resulting in the uncertainty of buyers about the import of Blue Mountain coffee.

Not long ago, the world's two largest buyers of Blue Mountain Coffee, foot basins and American distributors, canceled orders without any reason, and Blue Mountain Coffee is facing an embarrassing situation. ”

"Huh?" Andy frowned slightly, put down the coffee cup in his hand, picked up the folder, opened the news and browsed it quickly, and asked with some suspicion: "The footbasin country has signed a 30-year contract with the Jamaican Coffee Industry Bureau, which will expire this year, could it be that the footbasin country is playing tricks and is determined to suppress Jamaican coffee farmers, after all, the footbasin has been monopolized for so many years, and the dirt between Jamaica's businessmen who want to raise prices and the footbasin will not be too small." ”

This possibility cannot be ruled out, but it is also true that under the economic crisis, the footbasin economy is sluggish, and the purchasing power is declining, whatever the reason, Kingston's private Blue Mountain Coffee Trading Company has not responded, and it is still undecided whether to re-acquire Blue Mountain coffee cherries. The financial crisis has indeed had a big impact on the sales of Blue Mountain coffee. ”

"What about the price, have you figured it out?" Andy closed the papers, preferring to listen to his subordinates to make it easier for him.

"The owner of the Blue Mountain coffee estate in Jamaica can produce about 3,000 boxes of cherries a day at a cost of $46 a box, and because Blue Mountain coffee is the most expensive coffee in the world, the cost of selling green coffee beans is about $30 per pound, and the cost of roasted beans will be much higher. ”

"Has the trading company been formed?" Andy nodded and continued.

"The registration has been completed, but because of the export quota, we can't get the No. 1 Blue Mountain coffee, because there are too many fakes on the market, in recent years, the Jamaican government has strongly advocated that Blue Mountain coffee be roasted and exported in its original packaging, rather than in the form of green beans, to avoid the impact of counterfeit Blue Mountain flavored coffee.

The importance of this initiative lies in the fact that the Jamaica Coffee Board is able to monitor every step of the Blue Mountain coffee export to ensure the purity and high quality of Blue Mountain coffee, and the export quota is more stringent. ”

"Ha - they really used the foot basin to learn and use, so it's better, things are scarce and expensive, all over the street, I'm not interested in it, I just want this kind of rare force, so, make an appointment with their Minister of Agriculture on my behalf, I'll see... Christopher Tafton, since the relationship between the United States and the United States is iron enough, and they take so many benefits from the United States every year, then they will not solve my 'goodwill', right?"

Knowing that the big boss is going to pull the tiger skin as a banner, and the dollar is a big stick to pry the trade, what else can the four subordinates say, but this kind of business is the simplest and most affordable.

Seeing off his subordinates, Andy stretched out in the sunset, and there was a sound of footsteps behind him, and he turned around and said to Lima with an unhappy face: "Why do you have a black face." ”

"Knowingly, Andy, I don't want to hide like this... Lima was a little aggrieved and stuck to Andy's arms, and said with some sadness.

Andy tugged at the corners of his mouth, rolled his eyes, stroked Lima's loose hair, and soothed: "It's all me who is too greedy, sorry, dear, I... “

Lima raised his head, with a mist in his eyes, his slender fingers covered Andy's mouth, looked at each other, and finally sighed lightly, and said in a somewhat hoarse voice: "Say you love me... ”

"I love you, I love you very much!" Andy lowered his head and said seriously, then hugged Lima tightly in his arms, and said softly: "Give me some time, give me some time... ”

"Carry me back to my room, now... Lima clung to Andy's arms and whispered.

Andy grabbed her slender waist with both hands and lifted it up, Lima immediately attached his hands to Andy's body, and Andy carried her to the bedroom.

Frequent precipitation on the island of Jamaica, the mountains are foggy all year round, the air is pure, the sun rises, the fog will be dispersed, and the sun is also very clear, with the mountain wind blowing the curtains, spilling into the bedroom, dispelling the ambiguous smell in the air.

"Good morning, dear. ”

"Good morning... Po~" Lima, who had a ruddy complexion and exuded a lazy and charming atmosphere, stretched his waist, wrapped his arms around Andy's neck, and kissed him on the cheek with a sweet smile.

"Today we're going to visit Kingston... Andy said with a smile as he lifted his hands.

"Then don't make a fuss, I don't want to be unable to climb up for a while... Lima Mei hugged Andy's neck with silky eyes, and looked very unconvincing.

The corners of Andy's mouth twitched, and he said with a smile: "Then what are you doing with your hands... LITTLE DEMON JING, EAT THE OLD GRANDSON!"
