Chapter 14 Coffee beans in exchange

How long did you sleep on your own?

Qin Feng opened his eyes, smelled the smell of coffee in the air, and looked at the window again, this should be the next morning, right?

He tried to sit up, but as soon as he strained himself, a confused voice came from beside him.

"Ouch, my hair!"

Qin Feng was instantly shocked, completely sleepy, he looked at Zhao Jiao, who was covering his head and opening his sleepy eyes, and quickly apologized.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

"It's fine. Brother Feng, when you sleep with others in the future, you must be careful and gentle with others. ”

Wait, there's a future? Moreover, when I slept yesterday, the distance between the two of us was still big enough, so you came over with all your might, okay?

Qin Feng was about to refute a few words when he heard a shocked voice outside.

"What? All the money was used to buy weapons? ”

"I only need $50,000, why is it gone?"

Fighting a war costs money, and the EHL naturally has its own channels to raise funds, and Yusuf never thought that $50,000 was a lot of money, and his old tank cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Now, when he got the news, Yusuf immediately shouted in surprise.

Mulatu's face was also difficult to look at.

It was already interesting for Qin to give them three hundred pairs, it was absolutely impossible to give them ten thousand pairs, they had to spend money to buy them, but now, they had no money!

"Or, take out my tuition first." Mulatu said, "I'm going to take a year off from school, stay here, and be with you." ”

"How's that going to work?" Yusuf said: "You are going to the East to learn knowledge, and when we establish the country, you will use your knowledge to build the motherland!" What we have are people who fight wars, and what we lack is people who govern the country! ”

Hearing this, Qin Feng couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

The sunspots are all passable and happy in time, how many of them can take a long-term view?

Unfortunately, there are still too few such people, so Africa has not been able to develop.

Qin Feng walked out of the room with emotion, saw Maria's busy figure in front of the stove outside, and watched the coffee bubbling on the stove.

This stuff is really fragrant!

"Qin, are you up?" Muratu greeted him.

"Well, I slept so comfortably, it was like coming home."

"Well, that's good, Qin, I'm very sorry, about the rubber shoes, don't send those 10,000 pairs for the time being."

"Why?"

"Because, because we don't have money for the time being, wait until we have money later..."

"I said a long time ago that these galoshes are for you." Qin Feng said: "I don't want money, I am willing to do anything in order for you to win the battle." ”

"No, no, we have to give money." You Sufu was full of emotion: "Even if you don't have money now, if you have money in the future, I will definitely pay you back." ”

Qin Feng also had this idea, and now it's okay to owe it on credit first, anyway, it must be exported, and it must be advertised to the rubber shoe factory in Pingwang Town.

"Coffee." Maria greeted and began to pour coffee with the coffee stove, she found out that Qin Feng likes to drink this thing yesterday, so when she got up this morning, she hurriedly got busy.

"You're making a good coffee." Qin Feng said: "It must be a best-selling in the world, right? ”

Hearing Qin Feng's words, both Yu Sufu and Mulatu had bitter smiles on their faces.

"Before the war, our coffee here was indeed world-famous, but after the war, those merchants did not dare to come, and now, these coffees can only be used by themselves, and they cannot be sold at all."

Qin Feng's eyes lit up, it doesn't matter if you don't have money, you can have agricultural products!

"In that case, then I can help collect the coffee from you at the market price, and then help you sell it."

Yu Sufu's face suddenly became happy, but Mulatu shook his head: "No, Qin, you can't sell it, you Oriental people love to drink tea, and there are very few people who drink coffee." ”

Of course, Mulatu also thought of this method and planned to help his country sell coffee beans, but after some investigation, he found that it was too difficult to sell coffee to the East! I can't sell it at all.

Of course, there is coffee in the East, all instant coffee like Nestle, which is expensive, and a box is almost equivalent to the income of a city worker for several months.

Those people buy it once at most, and then display the box in the most prominent place in the house.

They need to sell their coffee to a country where everyone drinks coffee.

"It's okay, we're friends, and your business is mine." Qin Feng said: "I'll help you sell it!" ”

Yu Sufu suddenly thought of something: "Qin, if you can really find a way to sell it to us, you don't have to give us money, how about we exchange coffee beans for your rubber shoes?" ”

"Then what's the matter, I've said it, the rubber shoes are for you for free, I can't ask for money."

"Then we will give you the coffee beans for free, we are all friends, and it is normal to give gifts to each other."

Yusuf's mind was quickly calculating the numbers, how much money did those international coffee merchants come to purchase?

Five cents per pound, a pound is 0.45 kilograms, so a rough estimate, two kilograms of ten cents, a hundred kilograms is five dollars.

"You give us 10,000 pairs of rubber shoes, we give you 1,000 tons of coffee beans, you must accept it, otherwise we will not accept your gift."

Qin Feng shook his head again and again: "No, a thousand tons is too much, we need a maximum of a hundred tons, but if you can roast the coffee beans for us, it will be great." ”

What are you kidding, a 40-foot container is only 30 tons, and this thousand tons, don't you want thirty or forty containers? Shipping is too expensive, how can you make money?

If 1,000 tons is reduced to 100 tons, the freight will be much less, and Qin Feng will earn more.

The coffee smells fragrant now, and that's because the locals process it, and if you bring these coffee beans back with you, you won't have the same taste.

After all, there is a series of processes from coffee beans to coffee.

The first step is to roast the coffee beans, pluck those red coffee beans from the tree and roast them over the fire.

This is very particular about the heat, it is easy to paste after roasting, and if it is not roasted properly, it will affect the aroma of the coffee, only the locals can accurately grasp this heat, after all, they make coffee almost every day.

Coffee beans plucked from the tree are cheap, the international price is around five cents per pound, but if it is turned into roasted coffee beans, the price goes up, and this year's international price is $1.34 per pound!

The volume was reduced to a tenth, but the price increased twenty-six times!

A pound is about nine taels, which translates to nearly $30 for ten kilograms of coffee beans!

In China, a pair of rubber shoes can only be sold for a few yuan, but here, such an exchange, it is worth 30 US dollars, according to this year's standard exchange rate of 3.7, equivalent to hundreds of yuan, if it is according to the exchange rate on the black market, this pair of shoes is more than 200 yuan.

If Daddy knew, he wouldn't be so happy that he couldn't keep his mouth shut!
