American Fortune Life

"Impossible! How can the foot pot people make fakes that use inferior and adulterated coffee beans to sell as Blue Mountain coffee? You must know that they have controlled 90% of the share, which will hurt themselves. "

Andy heard the minister's uneasy questioning words, shook his head and laughed and said, "It's because they have a monopoly that they dare to do this. They use fake products at low prices to hit other sellers, and then sell real products at high prices." .

In the past 30 years, the sales market of Blue Mountain Coffee has been completely occupied by foot basin people. Even if you sell it yourself, they can also use fake products to attack your real product market.

Just like this time, no one can guarantee whether this slow-moving crisis is a malicious suppression action by the foot basin company for the signing of new contracts, to scare coffee farmers who want to raise prices with slow-moving sales. . . "

Andy's assumption was like a sharp knife piercing into the resentful heart of the other party, and the seeds of doubt grew crazily like being nourished by blood.

Christopher Tufton's originally black face was gloomy and reddened. To be honest, recently, the Jamaican media have been spreading rumors about the insidious intentions of the foot basin people for the cancellation of the order. Some reports show that in this emerging market in Asia, There are a lot of fakes of Blue Mountain coffee, and some don’t even have a single Blue Mountain coffee bean, so they dare to publicize that it is the top Blue Mountain coffee. Now it seems that it is not just a rumor.

"In this world, the monopoly business is the best and easiest to do. The ones who are hurt are the origin of raw materials and consumers, and the ones who make money are always the monopolies. In order to maintain their monopoly, they can do anything. I am very happy Seeing the coffee farmers in Jamaica start to wake up, in my opinion, there is endless money in this world, mutual benefit, win-win cooperation is the basis of trade, and it depends on exploitation, hehe, now it is a civilized world... "

Andy's words undoubtedly touched the pain points of all the black buddies. Originally, the history of Jamaica's colonization runs through the entire history of the country.

"Indeed!" Christopher looked at Andy meaningfully, but Andy's words still played a huge role, and said in a cold voice with a sinking face: "The cabinet has also discussed the signing of the new contract this time. The opinion is that we will roast by ourselves and then export in grades. Perhaps the people in the foot basin have known about this proposal for a long time, so it is not ruled out that they will deliberately breach the contract and cause the coffee to be unsalable this year.

However, Andy, if you want to take 40% of the share, I'm afraid it will be very difficult, there are some things. . . "

Andy looked at the other party's Yuyu-hesitant appearance, chuckled a few times, and then said with a smile, "It's almost time, and my other guest is almost here, let's go to greet him together."

Mr. Minister was slightly taken aback by Andy's words,

He followed Andy to stand up in a bit of bewilderment, but he quickly realized that he didn't think Andy would forget his status as a minister, so there was only one possibility, that the status of this other guest was no worse than his.

On the deck, the sea was wrinkled by the strong wind blown by the shipboard helicopter. Andy and Mr. Minister stood from afar and watched the plane door open. Followed by two bodyguards in suits and sunglasses.

"Hello, Mr. Smith."

"Hello, Hamilton, just call me Andy, come on, let me introduce you to my friend, this is Mr. Tufton, Minister of Agriculture of Jamaica, and Christopher, this is our chief of staff to the Secretary of the Treasury Paulson Hamilton..."

After Andy introduced the two of them, he looked at the slightly stunned expressions of the two with a faint smile on his face, and then looked at each other. It seemed that they both saw some surprise in each other's eyes, but they still shook hands very politely. I formally introduced myself.

"Okay, today is a private party, everyone relax, let's go, Ivana has been preparing for the arrival of the two of you all morning, I hope the lunch will satisfy you..."

Andy smiled and stretched out his hand to invite them, and then the three of them walked across the bow deck and walked to the cabin on the second floor. The 300-sea view restaurant with closed glass windows was ready.

Under Andy's introduction, Hamilton and Ivana, who was wearing a white gauze dress, exchanged face-to-face greetings. Ivana's hot and amazing figure made the two guests gasp in amazement.

Before the lunch started, Andy smiled and raised his glass to welcome the two guests with different thoughts: "This is the maiden voyage of my Kuaiyin Yacht, and the two are also the first guests to welcome it since it was built. It is a great honor to be here. Have lunch with the two of you, I hope you have a pleasant afternoon..."

"Honored!"

"It's a great honor."

After the four of them toasted together, they took a sip of champagne. The rest of the time was Ivana's time. As the hostess, she was the protagonist of the dinner party. She spoke elegantly, gracefully, and calmly adjusted the atmosphere and topics. Every topic can be talked about, making the whole lunch full of happy laughter.

And Andy happily watched Ivanna control the lunch rhythm of the audience, chatting with Hamilton and Mr. Minister from time to time, and Ivana would chat with another person, so that the guests did not feel cold at all embarrassment.

For an excellent woman like Ivana, she is a high-level social status figure, and her beauty is just an add-on. Her vision, ability, foresight and thinking direction are beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.

Of course, beauty will magnify her advantages, and Andy knows better than anyone that Ivana's elegance is a sharp and deadly weapon.

Hamilton looked at the back of the minister getting up to go to the toilet, looked at Andy who didn't give him the slightest feeling of unfamiliarity, and said with a smile: "Mr. Smith, are you interested in the quota of Blue Mountain coffee?"

Andy picked up the champagne glass, touched it with the other party, took a sip, put down the wine glass, and said with a smile: "I am interested in any business that can make money. I am more interested in Blue Mountain Coffee. For the part of the quota, Britain and the United States only have a 10% share, while the foot basin has exclusively enjoyed a 90% share for 30 years. This market has been monopolized by them for too long, what do you think?"

"I'm afraid it's difficult. You must know that all the estates that are rich in real Blue Mountain coffee beans have the shares of the foot basin people, and they have the priority..."

"Isn't this 30-year contract about to expire? I think the Jamaican government may not want to see the foot basin people continue to monopolize. They are just worried about long-term sales, so I came and brought them US dollars and Guaranteed sales, and - courage!" Andy and Hamilton said, looking at each other.

"However, before you arrived, I talked with Mr. Tufton. It is a bit difficult to break the monopoly of the foot basin people in Blue Mountain Coffee. The main reason is their influence within the Jamaican government..."

Hamilton narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard Andy's words, and then said lightly: "Jamaica's Prime Minister Simpson Miller has been calling for the United States to increase its assistance to Jamaica. He hopes to increase cooperation in combating drug crimes.

Jamaica's policy toward the United States focuses on promoting official exchanges and exchanges, increasing exports of goods and services to the United States, hoping to attract more American tourists and investment, and to strive for more development assistance. . . "

Speaking of this, Hamilton looked helplessly at Andy and Ivana who were smiling at him.

"I know that our two countries have signed agreements on investment protection and intellectual property protection. Now facing monopoly and unfair competition, I hope that the U.S. government can help and protect the legitimate rights and interests of me, a Nashua. I believe this should be No problem, right?" Andy held up the champagne with a sunny smile and touched the dumbfounded Hamilton.

"The foot basin has supported the coffee industry in Jamaica. It has continued to invest for decades. The right of first refusal and the intricate relationship are not that simple..."

"As for the export quota of Blue Mountain coffee, I am determined to win it. I am very unhappy with the monopoly of the foot pot people. It is ridiculous that the United States only has a 5% quota. Do you know what we Americans drink? Blue Mountain flavor, even There is not even 30% of the Blue Mountain coffee beans in it...

By the way, I heard that the BU is planning to conduct an anti-dumping investigation on the steel and aluminum of the foot basin? "

Hearing Andy's indifferent question, a black line suddenly appeared on Hamilton's forehead, investigating a big-headed ghost, facing this kind of BUG-level second-hand Dai, I believe anyone who encounters it will be the first and the second big, young master, now the world is under investigation There is a financial crisis, okay, don't make trouble anymore. . .
