Fairy Gourd Farm

Chapter 687 Tobacco Leaf Seeds
Instead of handing over all the cash to farmers, Gonzalez siphoned off a few.From Zhao Lei's side, he took at least five of them, which was five hundred dollars.

However, Zhao Lei didn't take this matter to heart. After all, Gonzalez couldn't serve Zhao Lei voluntarily. Since he worked so hard to sell tobacco seeds, it must be good for him, which is also normal.

This is a matter between Gonzalez and the tobacco farmers. As long as the three parties agree to the deal, Zhao Lei doesn't care how much Gonzalez gets from it.

Judging from the expressions of Gonzalez and Tobacco Farm, they are obviously very satisfied with this deal.

Gonzalez returned to Zhao Lei with a smile, and warmly recommended to him: "You have already come here, are you going to buy some cigars to go back? Although the cigars made by the villagers do not have the trademark of Gohoka Black Dragon, they are of high quality. But it’s not bad at all. Even if you don’t smoke yourself, if you take it home and give it to someone who knows how to do it, it will definitely surprise them.”

Zhao Lei thought about what Gonzalez said was right. Now that he has arrived in the best cigar producing area in Cuba, it would be a pity not to bring some back, so he nodded and said, "Then buy fifty and ask them what they want. How much."

Gonzalez didn't ask at all, just smiled and said to Zhao Lei: "The cigars in the hands of the villagers only cost [-] dollars a piece, and [-] cigars are exactly [-] dollars."

Zhao Lei was also unambiguous, and simply gave Gonzalez another one thousand dollars in cash.The fellow happily went to the villagers, and soon returned with fifty cigars.It's just that this time he went to the villager's house, so Zhao Lei didn't know how much this guy got out of it.

Now that Zhao Lei got the tobacco leaf seeds and even bought the cigars, there was no need to stay any longer, so he and Gonzales soon continued on the road.

When the car drove away from the village, Zhao Lei couldn't help asking Gonzales: "Since the Cohoca Black Dragon cigars can be sold for three thousand dollars, why are these villagers willing to sell them to me for only twenty dollars? Is it a loss?"

"Of course they won't suffer." Gonzalez said to Zhao Lei with a smile: "These people are just working for the boss. Even if the cigars can sell [-] cigars in the international market, it has nothing to do with them. It's not as good as the villagers They secretly sell them for twenty dollars a piece, and after all the money goes into their own pockets."

Only then did Zhao Lei understand the reason and why Gonzalez was at ease here, nodded thoughtfully and said: "From this point of view, the situation in the coffee garden should be the same as here."

Gonzalez smiled and said, "That's right, to put it bluntly, I'm just relying on my familiarity with everything here to make a little money."

Although Gonzalez said it was easy, Zhao Lei knew in his heart that this was definitely not an easy task.Just arranging for two people to travel in and out of Cuba easily is very difficult, let alone maintain a good relationship with other parties, and [-] US dollars is not so easy to earn.

The car continued to drive forward along the kilometer, and soon left the plain by the sea, began to climb uphill, and gradually entered the mountainous area.

Gonzalez told Zhao Lei that the best coffee beans are produced in the tropical areas at an altitude of about 1000 to [-] meters.The climate here is the most suitable for growing coffee beans, and the coffee beans produced are of the highest quality.Whether it is Blue Mountain Coffee or Hujue Coffee, the environment of the coffee garden is very similar.

The group soon arrived at the altitude mentioned by Gonzalez. On both sides of the rugged winding mountain road, there were large coffee gardens.

In order to facilitate the picking of coffee beans, the workers of the plantation trim the height of the coffee trees to about 1.5 meters, which is in stark contrast to the virgin forest on the mountain.Even a layman like Zhao Lei can tell at a glance where there is a coffee garden and where is an undeveloped virgin forest.

The road conditions on the mountain were very bad, and the driver was also trembling, for fear that he would accidentally drive the car into the ravine on the side of the road.Because I was delayed in the tobacco plantation for a while before, if I continue to advance at this speed, I am afraid that I will not be able to reach the destination after dark, so I can only spend the night in the wild.

Helpless, Zhao Lei had no choice but to offer him to drive. Although he was not familiar with the road conditions, his driving skills were much better than the driver's, and the speed of the car was obviously much faster. Finally, he arrived at the destination before dark.

This is a large-scale coffee garden. A typical local man was waiting for Zhao Lei and others at the gate of the coffee garden. Gonzalez gave him a warm hug as soon as he got out of the car.

"This is Santiago, the manager of this coffee garden and a good friend of mine." Gonzalez introduced to Zhao Lei: "Whether you can buy coffee seeds depends entirely on him!"

Santiago's English has a strong Spanish accent. He smiled and said to Zhao Lei: "Mr. Zhao, welcome to our coffee garden. Gonzalez has already told me that as long as the conditions are right, this matter is completely no problem."

Since Santiago mentioned the conditions straight to the point, Zhao Lei asked him directly: "What exactly do you mean by suitable conditions?"

"The most important thing is of course the price." Brother Santiago rubbed his fingers at Zhao Lei and said, "In this world, there is nothing that money can't solve, right?"

Gonzalez laughed beside him and said, "Brother Santiago, don't play tricks on Zhao Lei. I can tell you with confidence that he is not a stingy person. As long as your conditions are not too excessive, Zhao Lei will definitely agree. .”

Santiago's eyes lit up, and he said to Zhao Lei with a smile: "Since you are the guest brought by Gonzalez, I will not charge the price randomly. It is three thousand dollars per kilogram, and you can have as much as you want."

This price is much more expensive than tobacco seeds, but considering the profits brought by high-quality coffee, Zhao Lei thinks it is still acceptable, and quickly reached out to Santiago and said: "Deal!"

"Deal!" Brother Santiago held Zhao Lei's hand and said with a smile on his face: "Gonzalez is right, you are indeed a straightforward person! Tomorrow I will send someone I trust to go up the mountain with you to pick Ripe coffee beans."

Zhao Lei smiled and nodded, "Then I will trouble you."

"No trouble, as long as there is money to be made, there is no trouble at all!" Santiago said with a smile on his face: "I will wrong you to spend the night in the coffee garden tonight, please come with me!"

Zhao Lei is not a person who is afraid of suffering. Being able to spend the night in the coffee garden is much better than sleeping in the open on the mountain.So he quickly packed his luggage, followed Santiago into the coffee garden with Gonzalez.

However, not long after Zhao Lei entered the coffee garden, he was shocked by what he saw.
