213 The boss is crazy?

(Thanks to my friend, Leader Ou for his reward and encouragement)

Smith looked very carefully, not only looking at the raw beans carefully in the sun, but also put the cooked beans under his nose and sniffed them carefully several times.

Masica and Kipkori were both nervous, holding a small coffee cup in their hands, and forgot to drink half of the cup left in it.

"Mr. Simon, these coffee beans, well..., are really special." Smith said with a smile after putting the coffee beans down.

Liu Wenrui nodded, "It's true. I don't know if it's because of the trees or the soil here, these coffee berries have changed."

"But although these coffee beans look like large coffee beans, they have no problems with their taste. You tasted them just now, and I personally think they are not worse than those top coffee beans."

"Mr. Simon, how do you plan to sell these coffee beans? Are they made raw or cooked beans, and what are the prices?" Smith asked with a smile.

"Well... Mr. Smith, what do you think of my coffee beans?" Old Liu asked after hesitating for a moment.

"Haha, Mr. Simon. These coffee beans are yours, and you must know better than me. As a buyer, I certainly buy better at a lower price." Smith said with a smile.

"But I am very optimistic about these coffee beans of yours, so I plan to sign a long-term contract with you. This has never been done before. Usually we only signed current contracts for the season. The changes in weather have a great impact on the quality of the coffee beans."

"Mr. Smith, you also know that this is my first official sale of coffee beans, so I don't know much about the transactions of raw beans and cooked beans. How big is the price difference between raw beans and cooked beans?" Liu Wenrui asked.

Smith frowned, "There are a big difference between raw beans and cooked beans during the sale. Unless there is a mature roasting process, many coffee houses or cooperatives will mainly sell raw beans."

Liu Wenrui nodded and thought about it in his heart.

Smith definitely won’t prepare the psychological price for himself. He is the buyer and values ​​the interests. But how much does he ask for? This matter is hard to say.

"Mr. Smith, I think it's better for me to make cooked beans for sale. You tasted them just now, and I bake them myself." Liu Wenrui said.

Smith nodded, "Mr. Simon, how many pounds of cooked beans can you sell to me this year? What price is it going to sell? And I want to sign a long contract with you, a three-year contract."

Old Liu gritted his teeth, "Mr. Smith, the number of cooked beans I can sell this season is 1,500 pounds. Next year I will be confident that it will be over 2,500 pounds. As for the price, I plan to sell it for one hundred dollars a pound."

He was really cruel. Even if he sold it cheaply this time, he would endure it. After all, he is short of funds now, and if he can't see any money back, he will probably have no hope in the future.

As for the matter of sponsoring the barista yesterday, it is only theoretically possible at present. There are many variables in it, and it is not that reliable.

He was really cruel and sold it at a low price. After all, his psychological price before participating in the coffee cup preliminaries had risen to a guaranteed price of 400 US dollars.

But his price was stopped in the ears of others, and that was a shocking price. Whether it was Smith, Masica and Kipcorry, they were all scared by his offer.

Especially Masica and Kipkori, the look of Lao Liu now looks a little resentful. They feel that the boss was still stimulated yesterday, and now he finally comes to someone who is willing to buy these coffee beans. The boss actually wants to scare the person away.

One hundred dollars per pound, one thousand five hundred pounds is 150,000 dollars. In the history of Kale Town, I have never heard of anyone's coffee beans that can be sold at such a high price.

Smith smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Simon, I can't accept your price, it's really too high. I want to sign a three-year long contract with you, not just this time."

"And Sunshine Company seems to have a lot of unhappiness with you now. We have received news in the circle of agents, that if you trade with you, you may encounter some trouble in the future."

"After all, we are a coffee bean agent, and the number of coffee beans we purchase every year is very large. Even if the coffee beans you have better quality, we will have greater losses in the future."

"Not to mention, we have to find a way to bypass the bank guarantee regulations. Many things are very complicated to operate. So I really can't accept your price."

"Mr. Smith, I can tell you the truth that this price is already the very low price I quoted." Liu Wenrui thought for a moment and said.

"You tasted it just now. My coffee beans are definitely not as good as they did yesterday, and they can't even reach 80. It's because Crane did his tricks that such a ridiculous result."

Smith nodded, "Mr. Simon, I admit it. It is because I saw this yesterday that I became interested in your coffee beans. But the price you are now really disproportionate to the risks I have to bear."

"Then what price do you plan to buy it?" Old Liu thought for a while and asked.

Smith tapped his finger on the coffee table a few times, and forty seconds, Smith withdrew his hand, "Mr. Simon, I can give you a purchase price of thirteen dollars a pound."

Liu Wenrui smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Mr. Smith, I know you need to leave enough profits, but the price you give is really too low now."

At this time, Xiao Miaomiao walked over and Lao Liu hugged Xiao Miaomiao in his arms. "Although I have encountered some problems now, I am very confident that I can deal with it in the near future."

"And since you are planning to come to me to buy coffee beans, I don't think you are very concerned about Sunshine Company. Otherwise, I think you will not be the only one here today, but there will be many people."

Smith smiled and nodded, "It's true, but no matter what you do, it will cost you. Right? In order to deal with Sunshine Company, I also need cost to operate. That's it, I'll give you fifteen dollars a pound this year. How about 3o% increase every year in the next two years?"

Old Liu frowned and decided again.

The price of fifteen dollars is not low if you sell sL-34 coffee beans normally. Because of the special texture, one kilogram can be roasted into two pounds. It is almost like one kilogram for one pound.

This is equivalent to thirty US dollars per kilogram, which is much higher than the transaction price of the Nairobi auction house. Not to mention that the price will rise every year in the future. I have made a lot more money than the normal coffee bean sales.

But now he is really unwilling to give up. His coffee beans are so good, because Crane's trouble can only be sold at such a low price.

The price of one hundred dollars is his price of vomiting blood. Fifteen dollars? Isn’t this going to spit out the heart, liver, spleen, stomach and kidneys?

Just as he lowered his head and thought, he saw his daughter still looking at Smith. But unlike usual, today's little guy's eyes were different from usual, which made his heart move more.

Masica and Kipcory next to him are really anxious now. Why doesn’t the boss agree? Fifteen dollars are also an amazing price.

Old Liu had been thinking for a long time, and after more than ten minutes, he raised his head, grabbed his daughter's little hand and said, "Mr. Smith, I still think these coffee beans are better for me."

"Mr. Simon, I admit that your coffee beans are very good. But the price you want is really something we can't accept." Smith snatched the topic.

Old Liu was happy, "Actually what I just wanted to say is that my price needs to be raised up, 800 US dollars per pound. How about it?"

"Ahem cough cough..."

Kipkori, who thought this negotiation had a turnaround, was drinking coffee. After hearing Lao Liu's words, he suddenly choked. He thought to himself a little bitterly, "It's really over. The boss received too much excitement yesterday. He didn't do a hundred dollars, but the boss was fine, and he had to make up eight hundred dollars at once. I should have used this "compensation" right."

"Oh my God, Simon, you're not wrong. Eight hundred dollars. I think you don't want to sell it, right? This price, no matter where you sell it, you can't sell it." Smith said.

Lao Liu's smile became even brighter, "Actually, I'm a little sad if I'm 800 US dollars. My ideal price is more than 1,000 US dollars."

"It's over, it's over, the boss is not going crazy, he's already crazy." Even Masica has this idea in her mind now.

"Mr. Simon, I don't think you are sincere." Smith's face began to silence.

Old Liu shrugged, "Such good coffee beans should have a price that matches them. On the contrary, I think you are even less sincere, right?"

"Mr. Simon, I think our conversation can only last here today. This is my business card. If you change your mind, you can contact me." Smith stood up and took out a business card and said.

"Okay, thank you Mr. Smith, for letting you go for nothing." Old Liu said with a smile.

Smith glanced at Old Liu, shook his head, and walked out directly.

"You two don't have to look at me like that. Smith has no sincerity at all." Old Liu said with a smile as he looked at Masica and Kipcory.

Kipcorry wanted to ask, "Who is not sincere?", but he dared to ask about this, and the boss was obviously so excited by what happened yesterday.
