274 The Lion's Big Opening
The sauce meat received unanimous praise last night. Although the meats of Lao Liu Jiang have all kinds of meat, the taste is slightly slight. Thanks to the powerful seasoning, add more, and the remaining sauce flavor is the sauce flavor.
Wang Shasha was very dedicated to eating, and she was very proud of drinking and eating large pieces of meat. Even Xiao Miaomiao was carrying a rib and gnawing her face and her hands were covered with oil. She didn't let go, but she ate it very deliciously.
Maybe it was because I ate too generously last night that Xiao Miaomiao was a little lazy this morning. The sun was so sunny that the little guy rubbed his eyes and got up.
"You are just a lazy cat." Old Liu tapped on her little nose.
The little guy hugged his neck and shook his body, "Dad, Miaomiao is not a lazy cat. Miaomiao will not snore, Miaomiao is Maomao. Ao..."
"You still want to be a little lion. Have breakfast with your dad first. Today, someone will come to talk to dad about things." Old Liu poked her soft belly.
"Dad, when will we go see Big Maomao?" the little guy asked seriously.
"We have to wait a moment. There are a lot of things at home now, and they all need to be arranged." Old Liu thought for a while and said.
"Don't worry, although it's still a bit dry, we brought so much water last time. When my father finished his work, he will take you to deliver water to them."
The little guy nodded in a slight way. After all, he was a child and could not think about so many things.
I just washed my face and went downstairs with the clingy little guy downstairs when I saw a group of people walking in from outside the yard.
"Shasha, please help me take care of the little guy. The people from the Ministry of Agriculture have arrived." Old Liu said with a smile.
"Brother Liu, I think I should apply for some salary from you. Now I am a secretary and a nanny. Do you have to give me some hard-earned money?" Wang Shasha asked after taking Xiao Miaomiao.
Old Liu glanced at her and said, "Then you give Miaomiao and the little animals the salary to play with you first."
Wang Shasha thought about it and let it go. She had a lot of fun here every day and was in charge of food and accommodation. Don’t ask for the wages first.
"Hello, Mr. Simon. Let me introduce you to the Minister Nick of the Ministry of Agriculture."
When he saw Liu Wenrui coming out, Su Man, who had been here once, hurriedly introduced him.
"Hello, Minister Nick, I am looking forward to our meeting." Old Liu hurriedly took the initiative to greet him.
"Mr. Simon, congratulations, your coffee beans have achieved great results. Harvey often mentions you to me and says that as long as I come over, I not only have to taste the coffee you make, but also eat the dishes you make." Nick said with a smile.
"Haha, welcome, very welcome. Harvey has always been very busy. This time the coffee beans sold so well, and I also sent him an invitation, but he didn't have time." Old Liu smiled even more enthusiastically.
No wonder Harvey said that, and he has a good relationship with Nick. That is his own person, and everything is easy to talk about today.
"Mr. Nick, Harvey also mentioned that you are planning to discuss with me the introduction and breeding plan for my coffee trees." Liu Wenrui asked while making coffee for them.
Nick nodded, "Mr. Simon, we not only want to cooperate in this regard, but we also hope to have in-depth cooperation with you. How do you think we are jointly operating a coffee planting base?"
Liu Wenrui, who was preparing to water the kettle, was stunned for a moment and nodded, "I have never thought about such cooperation. Can I explain it in detail? Harvey is the same, and he didn't mention it to me."
"Mr. Simon, our initial intention is to jointly invest between us. We provide land suitable for planting coffee trees and you provide funding for common development," Nick said.
"So what about the investment amount and shareholding ratio? And the future sales issues, how do you divide these?" Liu Wenrui walked over with a coffee pot.
"Mr. Simon, it depends on how large the area we cooperate to plant is before we can determine it." Nick said with a smile.
"Although there is a consideration of this factor, there is still a general range? Although my coffee beans sold very well this time, they can't afford to spend money randomly." Lao Liu said while pouring them coffee. He also ordered it and told them that he would not let it be controlled because of Harvey.
The reason why they came here so late must be that they wanted to see how their coffee beans were selling. Now they saw it and knew that the quality of these coffee beans was very good, so they came here.
And he felt that the conditions they could offer would definitely not be very good. Otherwise, Harvey would be able to breathe himself at the beginning.
"Mr. Simon, your cup of coffee is really delicious." Nick answered irresponsible.
"Thank you, otherwise you wouldn't have bought such a good price." Liu Wenrui said with a smile.
"Summan, you took so many samples from me last time. Is there an accurate answer to why these coffee trees in my way become like this?"
"Uh..., sorry. Mr. Simon, everything in our test results were normal." Su Man was stunned for a moment and said hurriedly.
He didn't expect that Liu Wenrui still remembered his name, and he didn't expect that he would reveal the past.
"Mr. Simon, you can choose your own choice for the environment suitable for these coffee tree planting." Nick took the conversation.
“The land is provided by our Ministry of Agriculture Economic and Trade Company, and you work with people from our Coffee Authority to operate this new plantation while developing this new variety of coffee trees.”
"We are very sincere. The cooperation period of this plantation is 30 years, and we only occupy 49% of the shares. After the plantation is established, just recruit a certain number of local workers according to the corresponding scale."
Lao Liu shook his head, "Nick, although you have made good conditions, this kind of cooperation method is not what I expected to see."
"We both sides will lead a new project. This cooperation method seems good, but there are also some factors that are not very harmonious here."
"For example, the sales problems of these coffee trees after they grow into fruits, as well as the construction of supporting washing plants. In the future, the allocation and management problems of our staff may be different."
"When you came here, I should have seen that my investment in Kenya will be in three aspects in the future, namely coffee, tea, and flowers. These three crops are also the most important cash crops in Kenya."
"Mr. Simon, what about you?" Nick asked for a moment.
"My idea is very simple, it is to follow the way I cooperate with my farm workers." Liu Wenrui said relaxedly.
"You will provide the land, and the service life is 99 years. After the expiration, my company has the right to renew the contract. Of course, that is on the premise that my small company is still there. You can send someone to supervise the operation of our company, but I am responsible for the management and operation of the company."
Nick frowned, "How much profit can we make after so much?"
"15%, I can only give so much at the moment." Old Liu said without changing his face.
When Nick and others were stunned when they heard Lao Liu's words. In their feelings, a lion like Liu Wenrui spoke out not at all, but was closing the door for cooperation between the two sides.
Lao Liu took a leisurely sip of coffee, "Minister Nick, the allocation ratio I gave is actually my own reason."
"No matter how big the land will be in the future, I can only provide seeds and coffee trees branches from my existing farm for cutting propagation, right?"
Nick thought for a while and nodded.
This is an indisputable fact. Even those well-known coffee houses in Kenya do not have such mutated coffee trees. Otherwise, they would not have been able to come over to talk about cooperation with Liu Wenrui, so they developed it directly.
"Whether it is retaining coffee beans or choosing strong branches for cutting, it will have an impact on the coffee bean production of my farm." Liu Wenrui continued.
"I'm very confident that after this year's big picking season, my coffee beans sold for more than 1,000 US dollars per kilogram. Even, it may be higher."
"Although I don't know how large acres of land we can find to cooperate in planting coffee trees. But I think there should be a dozen acres of land? Otherwise, there would be such a small farmer-style land area, so you don't have to worry about it."
"As this large area, even if only five hundred coffee trees are planted per acre, the number of branches and coffee berries required will be very high."
"Maybe in the next few years, we will need to constantly replant these lands to create a manageable coffee forest."
"You can roughly estimate how much my losses will be in the past few years. And I have to undertake the construction of the entire coffee manor. I am afraid that the money I earn in the next few years will also be invested in this coffee manor that I will cooperate with."
"Mr. Simon, you will indeed suffer some economic losses. So how about changing our cooperation method? We only introduce your tree species and give you a 20% profit." Nick said.
Old Liu was happy, "Minister Nick, this is the way you want to cooperate most."
Nick was not embarrassed at all and nodded, "We will make a lot of investments. You can also send someone to the company you cooperate with to supervise the accounts, and the cooperation period can also be increased to fifty years. I think this proposal is also great. You only have a few years of losses, but you can reap a lot of profits in the future."
Old Liu shook his head, "Minister Nick, then my losses will be huge. Because I am not very optimistic about the company I cooperate with and will be managed by you."
Nick was very angry, angry at the lion who had just spoken, and also angry at what he said now.
