"On the 20th, the price of gold futures for April delivery on the New York Mercantile Exchange fell 25 US dollars per ounce to close at 920 US dollars. At one time, it fell to 904 US dollars, the lowest trading price in one month..."
Andy is in shorts, leaning on the couch, looking at his email, while Lima is using a Belgian pot to toss those blue mountain coffees. There are already three coffee cups on the small table beside Andy...
"Boss, here they are."
Andy looks back at Kenny, nods a little, and says to him, "let them in. By the way, tell Lima she'll stay in the house for a while, make her coffee, and it's over."
"OK." Kenny nodded and turned to walk out.
Andy picked up a T-shirt around him and put it on. After finishing it, he went back to the living room. Soon four elites with half sleeve white shirt, tie and leather shoes and meticulous hair style came in.
"Boss --"
"here you are, sit down. Now that you are in Jamaica, have a good taste of Blue Mountain coffee. OK, although I don't like its bitterness, sit down."
Andy smiles and shakes hands with four people. This is a member of the business group of his think tank, one for every four people, who is specially responsible for project investigation and negotiation.
When everyone was seated, Andy's maid soon gave him a steaming coffee. Andy took up a European coffee cup with a dense fragrance, and suddenly curled into his nose. He couldn't help taking a sip and savoring it carefully.
The four people took a look at each other and relaxed. They picked up the coffee and tasted the authentic Blue Mountain coffee.
"How do you feel? Although it's a little bitter and sour, it soon disappeared. My favorite is that its caffeine content is very low, only one third of the ordinary coffee, which meets the health requirements of modern people.
That's why the world coffee organization believes that blue mountain coffee is "the only coffee in the world that can't find flaws."...
Let's talk about it. I want to know what you have learned these days. "
The person in charge of the four put down the coffee cup, took out a folder from his bag and handed it to Andy, saying: "Jamaica exported about 16200 tons of Blue Mountain coffee last year, of which Warren Ford estate and mavisbank estate accounted for 45% of the export volume, and nearly 85% of the total export volume was exported to the foot pot countries. The UK and the US are the second largest buyers.
When we arrived, we found that Warren Ford, the only coffee company directly under the government, as well as some privately-owned Blue Mountain Coffee trading companies, suddenly stopped buying and processing Blue Mountain coffee fruit a week ago.
After understanding, we know that due to the impact of the financial crisis, in Latin America, which is relatively rich in goods, the impact of commodity economy and trade is very large, leading to the uncertainty of buyers on the import of Blue Mountain coffee.
Not long ago, the world's two largest Blue Mountain Coffee buyers and American dealers withdrew their orders without any reason. Blue Mountain coffee is facing an awkward situation. "
"Well?" Andy frowned slightly, put down his coffee cup, picked up the folder, opened the information speed and looked through it. He asked with some doubts: "the kopen country has signed a 30-year contract with the Jamaica Coffee Industry Bureau, which expires this year. Will it be the kopen country's trick to suppress the Jamaican coffee farmers? After all, the kopen has monopolized for so many years, and Jamaica wants to increase the price and the kopen business The filth between men is not too small. "
"We can't rule out this possibility, but it's also a fact that the market economy is in a downturn and the purchasing power is declining under the economic crisis. No matter what the reason is, Kingston's private Blue Mountain Coffee trading company hasn't made a response. Whether to buy Blue Mountain coffee again or not has not been determined. The financial crisis did have a big impact on the sales of Blue Mountain coffee. "
"Do you know the price?" Andy closes the papers. He prefers to listen to the reports of his subordinates, which makes him more relaxed.
"The owner of Jamaica's Blue Mountain coffee plantation can produce about 3000 boxes of coffee fruit every day at a cost of $46. Because blue mountain coffee is the most expensive coffee in the world, the sales cost of raw coffee beans is about $30 / pound. If baked beans cost a lot more."
"Is the business company established?" Andy nodded and continued.
"The registration has been completed, but because of the export quota, we can't get the No.1 Blue Mountain coffee, because there are too many fakes in the market. In recent years, the Jamaican government strongly advocates that the Blue Mountain Coffee be exported in the form of baked and original packaging, rather than in the form of raw beans, so as to avoid the impact of faking the Blue Mountain coffee.
The importance of this measure lies in that the Jamaican coffee bureau can monitor every link of Blue Mountain coffee export, ensure the purity and high quality of Blue Mountain coffee, and impose stricter restrictions on export quotas. "
"Ha - they really use the foot basin as a set of living learning. It's better. The rarity of things is more expensive. It's all over the street. I'm not interested in it. It's just the rarity. So, meet their minister of agriculture on behalf of me. Let me have a look... Christopher tafton, since the U.S. - tooth relationship is strong enough to take so many benefits from the United States every year, then they will not solve my "goodwill", are you right? "Knowing that the big boss wants to use tiger skin as a banner, and the way of dollar plus big stick to pry commerce and trade, what else can the four subordinates say, but this kind of Commerce and trade is the most simple and affordable.
After seeing off his men, Andy stretched out in the setting sun. Footsteps came from behind. He turned to Lima with a smile and said, "why do you have a black face?"
"Ask, Andy, I don't want to hide like this..." Lima some wronged paste in Andy's arms, some sad said.
Andy pulled at the corner of his mouth, rolled his white eyes, stroked Lima's hair and said: "it's all my greed. I'm sorry, honey, I... "
Lima raised his head, with fog in his eyes, covered Andy's mouth with long fingers, looked at him with four eyes, and finally sighed with a little hoarse voice:" say you love me... "
"I love you, very much!" Andy bowed his head and said seriously. Then he held Lima tightly in his arms. He said softly, "give me some time, give me some time..."
"Take me back to my room, and now I'm going to..." Lima clings to Andy's arms and whispers.
Andy grabs her slender waist with both hands and lifts it up. Lima's hands and Tui immediately attach to Andy. Andy holds her and walks to the bedroom.
There is frequent precipitation in Jamaica island. The mountain is full of fog all the year round. The air is pure. Only when the sun rises, can the fog be dispelled. The sun is also very clear. With the mountain wind blowing the curtain, it is sprinkled into the bedroom to dispel the ambiguous smell in the air.
"Good morning, honey."
"Good morning... Bo ~ "looks ruddy. Lima, who exudes a lazy and charming breath, stretches his back, circles Andy's neck and kisses his cheek with a sweet smile.
"Today, let's go to Kingston..." Andy said, laughing as he went up and down.
"Then don't make any noise. I don't want to be unable to get up for a while..." Lima Mei holds Andy's neck with eyes like silk, a very unconvincing posture of no defense.
Andy pulled at the corner of his mouth and said, "what's your hand doing... Little demon Jing, eat grandson! "
