American Fortune Life

"On the 20th, the price of gold futures for April delivery on the New York Mercantile Exchange fell by US$25 an ounce to close at US$920. It once fell to US$904 during the session, the lowest trading price in a month..."

Andy, in shorts, leans back on the recliner, reading his emails, while Lima tosses Blue Mountain coffee in a Belgian jug, and the little table next to Andy already has three coffee cups. . .

"Boss, they are here."

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

"Okay." Kenny nodded, turned and walked out.

Andy picked up a T-shirt beside him and put it on. After tidying up, he walked back to the living room of the room. Soon four elites in half-sleeve white shirts, tie leather shoes, and meticulous hairstyles walked in.

"boss--"

"Everyone is here, sit down, since you are in Jamaica, let's have a good taste of Blue Mountain coffee, well, although I don't like its sourness, well, sit down."

Andy shook hands with the four of them with a smile. They are members of the business team of his think tank, in groups of four, who are responsible for project investigation and negotiation.

Everyone was seated, and soon the maid brought by Andy brought steaming coffee. Andy picked up a European-style coffee cup, and the dense aroma suddenly curled into his nose, and he couldn't help taking a small sip Take a sip and savor it carefully.

The four of them glanced at each other, relaxed, and picked up the coffee to taste the authentic Blue Mountain coffee slowly.

"How does it feel? Although it is a little bit bitter in the mouth, it disappears quickly. What I like most is that its caffeine content is very low, which is only one-third of that of ordinary coffee, which is in line with modern people's health expectations. Require.

This is why the World Coffee Organization believes that Blue Mountain coffee is "the only coffee in the world that cannot find flaws." . .

Tell me, I want to know what you have learned these days. "

The person in charge of the four put down his coffee cup, took out a folder from his bag and handed it to Andy, and said: "Jamaica exported about 16,200 tons of Blue Mountain coffee last year, of which Warrenford Manor and Mavisban Gram Manor accounts for 45% of the export value, and nearly 85% of the total export value is exported to the country. The United Kingdom and the United States are the second largest buyers.

When we arrived,

During the investigation, it was found that the only government-directed Warren Verde Coffee Company, as well as some privately operated Blue Mountain coffee trading companies, suddenly stopped purchasing Blue Mountain coffee cherries for processing a week ago.

After learning about it, I realized that due to the impact of the financial crisis, in Latin America, which is relatively rich in the world and rich in commodities, the impact of commodity economy and trade is very large, resulting in buyers' uncertainty about the import of Blue Mountain coffee.

Not long ago, the world's two largest buyers of Blue Mountain coffee and the American distributors canceled their 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 file and browsed through it quickly, and asked with some suspicion: "Jamaica Coffee Industry Bureau signed a 30-year contract. It’s due this year, could it be that the country is playing tricks and deliberately suppressing Jamaican coffee farmers, after all, the coffee farmers in Jamaica have been monopolized for so many years, and Jamaica wants to raise prices and the businessmen in the coffee market will not be too small.”

"This possibility cannot be ruled out, but it is also a fact that under the economic crisis, the foot basin economy is sluggish, and the purchasing power is declining. No matter what the reason is, the privately-owned Blue Mountain Coffee Trading Company in Kingston has not responded. It is still unclear whether to re-acquire Blue Mountain coffee fruit. The financial crisis has indeed had a great impact on the sales of Blue Mountain Coffee."

"What about the price, have you figured it out?" Andy closed the file, he prefers to listen to the reports from his subordinates, which makes it easier for him.

"The owner of the Blue Mountain coffee plantation in Jamaica can produce about 3,000 boxes of coffee cherries every day, and the cost is 46 US dollars per box. Because Blue Mountain coffee is the most expensive coffee in the world, the sales cost of green coffee beans is about 30 US dollars per pound. If Roasted beans will cost a lot more."

"Has the trading company been established?" Andy nodded and continued to ask.

"The registration has been completed, but because of the export quota problem, we can't get 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 in the country and exported in original packaging. Instead of exporting in the form of green beans, to avoid the impact of imitation Blue Mountain coffee.

The importance of this initiative lies in the fact that the Jamaica Coffee Bureau can monitor every link of Blue Mountain coffee export to ensure the purity and high quality of Blue Mountain coffee, and the restrictions on export quotas are also stricter. "

"Ha--they have really learned and used the set of foot basins. This is even better. Rare things are more expensive. They are all over the street. I'm not interested yet. I just want this kind of rare style. In this way, Make an appointment with their Minister of Agriculture for me, let me see...Christopher Tufton, since the US-Italy relationship is strong enough, and they get so many benefits from the United States every year, then they will not solve my 'goodwill', you are right ?"

Knowing that the big boss wants to use the tiger's skin as a banner, and use the dollar to increase the stick to leverage the business, what can the four subordinates say, but this kind of business is the simplest and most affordable.

After seeing off his subordinates, Andy stretched his waist against the setting sun, and heard footsteps behind him, turned his head and smiled and said to Lima, who was unhappy, "Why are you so dark?"

"Ask knowingly, Andy, I don't want to hide like this..." Lima stuck to Andy's arms with some grievances, and said sadly.

Andy twitched the corners of his mouth, rolled his eyes, stroked Lima's loose hair, and comforted him: "I'm too greedy, sorry, honey, I..."

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

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

"Hold me back to the room, I need it now..." Lima whispered softly, clinging to Andy's arms.

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

There is frequent precipitation in Jamaica, and the mountains are shrouded in mist all year round. The air is pure. The mist will dissipate when the sun rises, and the sunlight is very clear. With the mountain wind blowing the gauze curtain, it sprinkles into the bedroom, dispelling the mist in the air. That ambiguous smell.

"Good morning, dear."

"Good morning...boo~" 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 raised his hands.

"Then don't make trouble, I don't want to be unable to get up for a while..." Lima hugged Andy's neck with eyes like silk, with a very unconvincing posture of defenselessness.

Andy twitched the corner of his mouth, and said dumbfoundedly: "Then what are you doing with your hands... Xiao Yao Jing, give me a stick!"
