Chapter 979: Dollar Plus Sticks

“The gold futures price of the 20th NYSE delivery in April dropped by $25 per ounce to $920, once falling to $904 on the market, the lowest trading price in a month... ”

Andy was wearing shorts, leaning against a lounger, looking at his e-mail, and Lima was tossing those Blue Mountain coffees with a Belgian pot, and Andy already had three cups of coffee on the table next to him...

“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'll all be over soon. ”

“Okay.” Kenny nodded, turning around and walking out.

Andy picked up a T-shirt cover next to him, tidied it up and walked back into the living room, quickly walking in with four half-sleeved white shirts, tied shoes, and a meticulously dressed elite.

“Boss...”

“Here we are. Sit down. Now that you're in Jamaica, have a nice cup of Blue Mountain coffee. Okay, I don't really like the sourness of it either. Okay, sit down. ”

Andy smiled and shook hands with four people, members of his think tank business group, one for every four, dedicated to project exploration and negotiation.

Everyone sat down, and soon Andy brought the maid a hot cup of coffee. Andy brought a European cup of coffee with a hint of flavor that suddenly burst into his nose, and he couldn't help but sip it and taste it fine.

Four people glanced at each other and relaxed and slowly tasted the authentic Blue Mountain coffee.

“How do you feel? Although slightly bitter and sour at the entrance, it disappeared quickly, and my favorite is its very low caffeine content, only a third of the common variety of coffee, which meets the health requirements of modern people.

That's why the World Coffee Organization thinks Blue Mountain Coffee is “the only coffee in the world that can't find flaws”...

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

“Jamaica exported about 12,600 tons of Blue Mountain coffee last year, of which Warrenford and Mavisbank accounted for 45 per cent of the exports and nearly 85 per cent of the total exports went to the pedestrian countries," said the head of the four, who dropped the cup and handed it over to Andy. Britain and the United States are the second biggest buyers.

When we arrived, we found that the only government-owned Warrenford coffee company, as well as some privately run Blue Mountain coffee trading companies, had suddenly stopped buying Blue Mountain coffee fruit for processing a week earlier.

It became apparent that, as a result of the financial crisis, the impact of the commodity economy and trade was enormous in Latin America, where the world was relatively wealthy and abundantly rich in commodities, leading to uncertainty among buyers about Blue Mountain coffee imports.

Blue Mountain Coffee is facing embarrassment when two of the world's largest buyers of Blue Mountain coffee, Foot Basin and US dealers, withdraw their orders for no reason. ”

“Hmm?” Andy frowned slightly, dropped the coffee cup in his hand, picked up the folder, opened the message speed and browsed through it, some skepticism: “The pedestal country and Jamaica's Coffee Industry Authority signed a 30-year contract, which expired this year, could it be that the pedestal country was playing tricks to suppress Jamaica's coffee farmers, after all, the pedestal monopoly for so many years, Jamaica wanted to raise the price and the pedestal businessman between the pedestal was not too small. ”

“This possibility is not ruled out, but it is also true that, in the midst of the economic crisis, the pedestrian economy was depressed and purchasing power declined. Whatever the reason, the private Blue Mountain coffee trading company in Kingston did not react, and it remains to be determined whether or not to repurchase the Blue Mountain coffee fruit. The financial crisis has indeed had a significant impact on the sale of coffee in Blue Mountains. ”

“What about the price, do you get it?” Andy closed the papers, and he preferred to hear from his men, making it easier for him.

“The owners of Jamaica's Blue Mountain Coffee Estate will be able to produce about 3,000 cases of coffee fruit per day at a cost of $46 a case, and since Blue Mountain Coffee is the most expensive coffee in the world, the cost of selling raw coffee beans will be about $30/lb, much higher if baked beans are expensive. ”

“Has a trading company been established?” Andy nodded and continued to ask.

“Registration has been completed, but due to export quotas, we are unable to obtain No. 1 Blue Mountain coffee because there are too many counterfeit goods on the market, and in recent years the Government of Jamaica has strongly advocated the export of Blue Mountain coffee in its own baking and original packaging, rather than in the form of raw beans, in order to avoid the impact of counterfeiting Blue Mountain flavoured coffee.

The importance of such an initiative lies in the ability of the Jamaican Coffee Authority to monitor every aspect of coffee exports to the Blue Mountains, guaranteeing the authenticity and high quality of coffee in the Blue Mountains and tightening restrictions on export quotas. ”

“Ha —— they really used the foot basin biology, which is better, it's rare and expensive, the streets are full, I'm not interested, it's this rare compulsion, so meet their minister of agriculture for me, let me see... Christopher Tufton, since dental relations are iron enough to take advantage of America so much every year, they won't solve my goodwill, will they? ”

Knowing that the big boss is going to pull the tiger skin as a flag again, the dollar is bigger stick way to pry business, what can the four subordinates say, instead, this kind of business is the easiest and most affordable.

Sending his men away, Andy stretched out a lazy waist at sunset, and behind him came footsteps, smiling back and saying to a frustrated lima: “Why is there a dark face? ”

“Knowingly, Andy, I don't want to hide like this...” Lima had some grievances stuck in Andy's arms, some sad remarks.

Andy pulled the corner of his mouth, turned a white eye and gently caressed Lima's scattered hair, soothing: “I'm so greedy, I'm sorry, honey, I... “

Lima raised her head with fog in her eyes, her long fingers covered Andy's mouth chun, her eyes looked at her, and finally sighed, her voice a little dull and said: "Say you love me... ”

“I love you, I love you, I love you!” Andy bowed his head and said seriously, then held Lima tightly in his arms and said softly: “Give me some time, give me some time... ”

“Take me back to my room, now...” Lima clasped softly in Andy's arms.

Andy strangled her slim waist and lifted it upwards, and Lima's hands and tui immediately adsorbed onto Andy, who held her to the bedroom.

The island of Jamaica is frequently precipitated, the mountains are foggy all year round, the air is pure, the sun rises before dispersing the fog, and the sun is bright, as the mountain wind blows the veil curtain into the bedroom, dispelling the ambiguous smell in the air.

“Good morning, darling. ”

“Good morning..." She looked red, with a lazy, charming lima stretching out her lazy waist, surrounded Andy's neck, and smiled sweetly and kissed his cheek.

“Today we go to Kingston...” Andy smiled up and down his hand and said.

“Then don't make a scene, I don't want to be able to climb...” Lima Mei held Andy's neck in a silky, unconvincing position.

Andy pulled the corner of his mouth and couldn't help but laugh and say, "What are you doing with your hands... Jing, eat your grandson! ”
