722. Lake sand is sold to Kinshasa

It turned out to be neighbor Brad.

After seeing that it was Brad, Yang Tianlong hurriedly opened the door.

"Hey, old man, nice to meet you. Yang Tianlong greeted Brad with a smile.

Brad was taken aback, and even patted his chest with some trepidation, "Huaxia Long, it's you." ”

"Yes. Yang Tianlong smiled softly.

"Recently, there were thieves in the community, and when I saw that the lights in your house were on, I thought it was a thief. Brad was so embarrassed that he even hid his baseball bat behind him.

"Thank you, old man. This made Yang Tianlong a little inexplicably moved.

"We're still polite, as long as you're at home. Brad gently patted Yang Tianlong's shoulder.

"Old man, come in and sit down, just taste the tea of our Huaxia Kingdom. I have to say that the smell of the tea is so fragrant, and the hot smell of the tea leaves wafted directly into Yang Tianlong's nose from the living room, which made him feel refreshed after smelling it.

"Is it the smell of tea?" Brad's eyes lit up as he said this.

"Yes, Huaxia tea. Yang Tianlong smiled.

"I like it. Brad laughed.

"Come in, man. Yang Tianlong greeted Brad warmly.

......

"Brad, let me introduce you, this is my good brother, Mr. Liu Shengli, you can call him Shengli Liu. Yang Tianlong pointed to Liu Shengli and introduced.

"Hello, Shengli Liu, it's a pleasure to meet you. Brad was very talkative, he quickly stretched out his hand and greeted Liu Shengli with an enthusiastic face.

"This is my neighbour, Mr Brad, the owner of Southampton Cargo. Yang Tianlong hurriedly introduced.

"Hello, nice to meet you. Liu Shengli said in Huaxia.

In fact, the language between the two of them is not compatible, but just from this extremely enthusiastic expression and exaggerated movements, it can be seen that they have a good impression of each other.

"Here, old man, try this tea. Yang Tianlong said as he handed Brad a cup of brewed tea.

Just like Wilmots drank Huaxia tea for the first time, Brad was also surprised, for green tea, there is basically no green tea in Europe, and they drink more black tea.

Brad took a sip with a sincere face, and his brow, which had been slightly frowning before, suddenly stretched out slightly, and the expression on his face became extremely excited, only to see him give a thumbs up, and praise the tea for tasting amazing, the best drink he had ever drunk.

"Is there one?" Yang Tianlong joked with a smile.

Brad shook his head, "There is no one, it is the best drink." ”

Brad's words sounded exaggerated, but his expression was not exaggerated at all.

"This tea is produced in Shengli Liu's hometown of Zhejiang Province, and it was the emperor's imperial tea in ancient times. Yang Tianlong introduced.

Brad was dumbfounded, and he couldn't imagine that there was so much culture in this seemingly simple tea.

"Chinese culture is broad and profound, I like it. Brad gave another thumbs up.

Although Liu Shengli said that his cultural level was not high, he still understood some simple words, and after seeing Brad's evaluation of tea was very high, he was also full of good feelings for Brad.

Lao Liu's personality is like this, if he likes you, then he will soon call you a brother, if he is not interested in you at all, then he will definitely turn a blind eye to you like air.

"Some of our machinery used to be transported by cargo ships through the Congo River, but after some freight companies were very unreliable, we didn't cross the river from the Congo River, but since my brother is also the owner of the freight company, then we can still cooperate in the future. Liu Shengli said a long paragraph freely, and after finishing speaking, he entrusted Yang Tianlong to translate these words.

Yang Tianlong truthfully translated the past for Brad, and also briefly introduced Liu Shengli's identity.

After seeing that this middle-aged man turned out to be the CEO of Huaxiaguo's construction company, Brad looked flattered, and hurriedly said that he had to taste their service well, and at the same time he also said that he would give Liu Shengli the greatest discount.

As the CEO of a state-owned enterprise, Liu Shengli will naturally not be interested in these discounts, in terms of Liu Shengli's character, as long as he takes a fancy to you, what kind of money is a small problem.

The more they talked, the more speculative they became, and Brad told them about some business opportunities in the Congo River.

Suddenly, Yang Tianlong thought of the sand in Lake Albert, in fact, the Congo River also flows through the Bunia area, if the lake sand can be transported from the Bunia area to Kinshasa, it may also be an excellent sales channel.

Immediately, he told Brad about his idea.

As soon as Brad heard that Yang Tianlong had the idea of transporting lake sand, he couldn't help but quickly take out his mobile phone, and pressed it cracklingly, and after a while, people looked at the mobile phone and said to Yang Tianlong.

"Huaxia Dragon, the maximum tonnage of cargo ships that can pass on the Congo River is 8,000 tons, that is, you can transport 7,000 tons of lake sand within a safe range, the current price of a ton of lake sand in the Kinshasa area is about 15 US dollars, the value of a ship is about 100,000 US dollars, aside from the cost of 30,000 US dollars, each ship can earn 70,000 US dollars, but this is only a single trip, if it is empty from Kinshasa to Bunia, then you have to deduct the cost of 40,000 US dollars, that is to say, the profit is only 30,000 US dollars. ”

"$30,000?" Yang Tianlong frowned, judging from Brad's calculation just now, this should be a conservative estimate, as a businessman, he naturally would not allow the cargo ship from Kinshasa to Bunia to be empty, so there is definitely no problem with his profit conservatively estimated at $50,000.

In the early stage, the lake sand market in Uganda has been basically in a conservative state, and Li Tao and his team are still tirelessly cleaning up the lake sand in Lake Albert, according to current estimates, at least 1.2 million tons of lake sand have not been sold, and once the 1.2 million tons of lake sand are sold, he will receive at least 8 million US dollars in income.

If he doesn't do this kind of thing, then he is simply a bastard.

"As long as I find a market, we will do it immediately. Yang Tianlong said with a serious face.

Brad is naturally happy and it's a win-win.

He praised again and again, saying that he could provide 10 cargo ships of 8,000 tonnage at that time.

"Brother, give me 200,000 tons of lake sand. Liu Shengli was cold, and suddenly made a big move.
