Chapter 198

If someone finds Xiaoshan's stock list ten years later, it will be very magical.

Because this is the ranking of the rise of a country's stocks in a decade.

Well, I just missed the one with the biggest increase.

Green shirt coffee.

Of course, Xiaoshan didn't forget. He wanted to buy green shirt coffee himself.

This kind of good thing is not left to himself. He estimates that there is a 90% chance that he will be hit by thunder when he goes out. There is a 80% chance that he will cross into the primitive society to farm in the thunder.

Therefore, Xiaoshan entrusted the fund company to Enron, and then hurried on the flight to Vermont with Jiang Liangqing's five bodyguards.

He didn't bring any financial and tax audit at all. That's not his style.

This trip is to spend money, because the market value of green shirt coffee is only $100 million.

Is 200 million enough?

What more audit? Compared with the market value of $20 billion in a few years, these are cabbage. Making money is faster than frying oil.

After a short flight, the plane landed at Vermont airport on the US Canada border.

Vermont, 600000 residents.

Yes, the residents of this continent are equivalent to the population of a county in China, but the area is as large as Yanjing and Yangcheng combined.

The green shirt coffee company is located in Montpellier, the capital of Vermont.

Montpellier is famous for environmental protection.

Green shirt coffee has also made great achievements in environmental protection initiatives. It has not only launched organic certified coffee (without chemical fertilizer), but also agreed to sell certified fair trade coffee since 2002.

You know, to obtain the certification of fair trade coffee, coffee merchants must pay coffee farmers more than $1.26 per pound of coffee beans, and provide technology so that coffee farmers can cultivate coffee organically.

This is a pursuit of sustainability, environmental protection and health. Green shirt coffee's efforts in environmental protection can be seen.

In the president's office of green shirt coffee.

Robert Stiller, founder, chairman and CEO of green shirt coffee, is watching the TV news.

He looks only 50 years old, thin and handsome, tough temperament and big eyes. When he stares at someone, he will give people a sense of oppression, just like a hunter ready to shoot at any time.

His life is indeed a hunting life. He is good at seizing the opportunity.

Thirty years ago, he keenly captured the business opportunity of cigars. He started from selling cigar cigarette paper to becoming a cigar factory step by step. Then he sold his e-zwider company in 1981 and got $3.1 million.

In 1983, stile saw the coffee business again and bought a coffee shop near the ski apartment in Fenglin, Vermont with all his money.

Under his full operation, coffee shops shifted from retail to production until green shirt coffee was listed on NASDAQ in 1993.

Now, although the scale is small, it has baked green shirt coffee for Exxon, Mobil and other major customers.

But stiler was not satisfied.

He watched the TV news, but thought about how to improve the profit of coffee and occupy the national market.

Without Xiaoshan, it would take him a year to figure out a way.

But the arrival of Xiaoshan completely disrupted his rhythm.

Stile suddenly widened his eyes. The TV news broadcast the picture of Xiao Shan stepping on the plane, accompanied by the reporter's voice over:

"Mr. Xiaoshan once said that he would devote himself to the field of American people's livelihood, help American economic development and benefit American people. Today, we have captured the latest trend of Mr. Xiaoshan. He is going to Vermont. What is he going to do? Please continue to pay attention to our follow-up investigation."

The screen switches to advertising.

Stile jumped up, grabbed the sheepskin coat and rushed out of the office before he could wear it.

He quickly got on his Cadillac, started quickly, roared out of the company, then galloped on the snow covered road like wilderness and forest, and went straight to the airport.

He wants to stop Xiaoshan.

He watched the TV news and was particularly interested in Xiaoshan's remarks, but unfortunately, he didn't think Xiaoshan would be interested in his coffee company.

So I never went to Xiaoshan.

But now he suddenly found himself wrong.

What this Chinese should do is to find the poorest continent and support a livelihood enterprise, so as to achieve immediate results and immediately obtain the support of two congressmen (senators are elected by States, two in one state, regardless of size, a total of 100).

With the support of parliamentarians, we can influence high-level decision-making and lift the embargo.

Stile smoothed out the logic the moment he heard the news.

But he does not think Xiaoshan's goal is green shirt coffee, because the most influential area of people's livelihood in Vermont should be King Arthur flour.

Although coffee is also necessary in American families, it won't die without coffee.

Compared with King Arthur, the third largest flour company in the United States, green shirt does not affect people's livelihood.

Therefore, he was very anxious and had to persuade Xiaoshan to invest in his company.

If he could join hands with Xiaoshan, he concluded that Xiaoshan had a way to let green shirt coffee occupy the national market.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

……

In this country with a large consumption of flour, housewives are familiar with brands, one is gold medal, the other is pearsbury.

In a market where the product differentiation is not obvious, the two famous brands occupy the advantage of "favorable time, place and people", which brings great competitive pressure to small and medium-sized flour companies without strong financial support.

The third largest flour producer, King Arthur flour company, is facing such pressure.

King Arthur is located in newwich, Vermont, with only $35 million in assets.

At this time, the company is holding a board meeting to discuss how to get out of the dilemma.

Frank, the chairman, glanced at the four directors and frowned:

"Ladies and gentlemen, Chinese people have begun to pay attention to the carbohydrate content in their diet, which has led to the overall stop of the growth of pasta consumption. The brand effect of the two major flour manufacturers also makes it difficult for us to shake their market. We must come up with countermeasures."

A director sighed and said, "there are so many countermeasures in this industry. All profits are so low. It all depends on the brand effect to occupy the market. We have no money to advertise and can't build our own brand."

Another director said, "let's find Xiaoshan. Didn't he say he wanted to intervene in the field of people's livelihood?"

Frank frowned and said, "he's involved in people's livelihood. Won't he find the first company? What can we persuade him to cooperate with us?"

"How do you know if you don't try? Maybe big companies don't come to him, and he likes us to come to him."

"Well, you go and pay for it," Frank said humorously, thinking he was a waste of time.

But just then, the assistant suddenly rushed into the conference room. Frankton was angry: "buddy, you didn't knock!"

Patty was also angry: "Xiao Shan has arrived in Vermont. Are you still having a meeting here? Are you waiting for him to go to green shirt coffee?"

"What?" the five directors jumped up and almost lifted the table.

"Where is it now?" Frank grabbed buddy and asked.

"Just got off the plane!" Patty said.

"Come on! Get on the plane!" Frank rushed out of the room and went straight to the pesticide spraying plane.

……

As soon as Xiaoshan got out of the airport, he was stopped by a blonde.

Jiang Liangqing didn't move. They are already very experienced. This must be a reporter, although she didn't take anything.

"Dear Mr. Xiao Shan, I'm Anne, a reporter from Vermont public television. Nice to meet you. What investment plan do you have for your visit to Vermont?"

Xiao Shan's brain turned 30 times. He didn't understand what happened to this reporter. Is Vermont so poor?

Just one person, not even a camera?

But he also believed that the blonde was really a reporter, so he smiled and said:

"I am very interested in the field of people's livelihood in Vermont. As far as I know, there are two famous companies in the field of people's livelihood, one is King Arthur flour and the other is green shirt coffee. I hope to visit these two companies and hope they won't mind my bold visit."

Annie said with great joy:

"Mr. Xiaoshan, I don't know about green shirt coffee, but King Arthur must warmly welcome you. Moreover, Mr. Frank and I are good friends. He heard that you arrived at the airport and are flying over. Now you are almost there. Shall we take a seat in the opposite coffee shop first? I'll see him soon."

Xiaoshan suddenly realized that Annie was afraid that he would find green shirt coffee first, so she wanted to hide his whereabouts. The interview was avoided.

But Xiao Shan really had no reason to refuse, so he nodded with a smile:

"Then wait a minute."

He secretly decided that if Frank hadn't flown in half an hour in Vermont, he wouldn't have to wait.

Annie took the road happily, looked at Xiaoshan from time to time, and introduced him to Vermont's specialties, such as apples, cheese and maple syrup. She even talked about the practice in detail, as if she was facing a food.

At this time, a Cadillac came rapidly. It made a sudden brake all the way. It drifted and shook its tail on the snow road, and then crossed in front of Xiaoshan and others.

Jiang Liangqing surrounded Xiaoshan with five hula, but Annie said with an ugly face:

"Mr. Xiaoshan, don't go back on what you promised. Let's go to the coffee shop and wait for Mr. Frank."

Xiao Shan took a look at her and understood that the person who came must be the one with green shirt and coffee.

Sure enough, as soon as the door opened, a man jumped out of the car and immediately raised his hands and shouted, "don't misunderstand! Mr. Xiaoshan, I'm Robert Stiller, chairman of green shirt coffee. Annie, just leave it to me. Your task is completed."

Xiaoshan immediately waved to Jiang Liangqing to get out of the way.

Annie shouted angrily, "stile! Mr. Xiaoshan and Frank have an appointment to meet in the coffee shop. Go back and wait!"

"Oh, no, Miss Anne, you don't count." Stiller came over with a smile, warmly shook hands with Xiaoshan, and then said very gentlemanly, "Mr. Xiaoshan, Frank is not in the city. It's estimated that he can come tomorrow. According to Chinese customs, please let me play the friendship of the landlord and have a drink first?"

Before Xiaoshan could speak, Annie roared, "who said tomorrow? Look up!"
