American Fortune Life

"It's impossible! How can the foot basin people make fake and inferior coffee beans for sale as Blue Mountain coffee? Know that they have controlled 90% of the share, which will hurt them. "

When Andy heard the minister's uneasy questioning words, shook his head and smiled: "It is because they have a monopoly that they dared to do so. They used low prices of fakes to hit other sellers, and then sold high prices with genuine goods. .

For 30 years, the sales market of Blue Mountain Coffee has been completely occupied by the foot basin people. Even if you sell it yourself, they can also use fakes to hit your real market.

Just like this time, no one can guarantee that this kind of slow-moving crisis is not a malicious action by the foot basin company for the signing of new contracts to threaten coffee farmers who want to raise prices with slow-moving ... "

Andy's hypothesis was inserted into the opponent's already angry heart like a sharp knife, and the seeds of doubt grew like crazy nourished by blood.

Christopher Tuffton was originally black-faced and gloomy with redness. To be honest, the media in Jamaica have recently been spreading the insidious intention of this order cancellation. Some reports also show that in the emerging market in Asia, There are a lot of fakes filled with Blue Mountain coffee, and some even don't even have a Blue Mountain coffee bean, so they dare to publicize that it is the top Blue Mountain coffee. Now it seems that it is not just rumors.

"In this world, monopoly business is the best and the easiest to do. It hurts the origin of the raw materials and the consumers. It is always the monopolist who makes money. In order to maintain the monopoly, everything can be done. I am very happy. Seeing the coffee farmers in Jamaica start to wake up, in my opinion, the world has endless money, mutual benefit and win-win cooperation is the basis of trade. It is squeezed by exploitation, huh, but now the civilized world ... "

Andy's words undoubtedly touched the pain points of all the black buddies. The history of colonization of Jamaica had run through the history of the whole country. The black slaves and so on are the heart troubles of these black buddies who turned over to take charge.

"Indeed!" Christopher gave Andy a meaningful look, but Andy's words still played a huge role, and said in a cold voice: "This time the signing of the new contract was discussed by the Cabinet. Overall The opinion is that we will bake it ourselves and then export it in grades. Perhaps the pedestal people have already known this proposal, so it is not ruled out that their deliberate breach of contract caused this year's coffee to be unsaleable.

However, Andy, if you want to take 40% of the share, I am afraid it will be very difficult. Some things ... "

Andy looked at the other person's utterance, and smiled twice, then smiled, "It's almost time, and my other guest is almost here. Let's meet together."

Andy's words made Mr. Minister slightly mistaken. He followed Andy a bit aggressively, but quickly reacted. He didn't think that Andy would forget his ministerial status, so there was only one possibility. This other one The guest is no worse than him.

On the deck, the strong wind from the ship's helicopter wrinkled the sea. Andy and the minister stood and watched the aircraft door open. A curly-haired man dressed in a thirties elite walked quickly behind him. Also followed two bodyguards in suit sunglasses.

"Hello, Mr. Smith."

"Hello Hamilton, just call me Andy. Come on, let me introduce you to my friend. This is Mr. Tuffton, Minister of Agriculture of Jamaica, Christopher, this is our Chief of Staff, Secretary of the Treasury, Paulson. Hamilton ... "

After Andy introduced them to each other, he looked at the expressions of the two with a slight smile, and then looked at each other. They seemed to see some surprise from the other's eyes, but they still shook hands politely, Formally introduced myself

"Well, today is a private party. Let's relax. Let's go. Ivana prepared the morning for the arrival of the two and hoped that the lunch would satisfy the two ..."

Andy reached out and smiled and invited the two to reach out. Then the three crossed the bow deck and walked to the second-floor cabin. The glass-enclosed restaurant with 300 sea views was ready.

Under the introduction of Andy, Hamilton and Ivana in a small white gauze dress were embarrassed. Ivana's hot and stunning figure surprised both guests in their hearts.

Before lunch, Andy smiled and toasted two guests with different thoughts and welcomed: "This is the first voyage of my fast silver yacht. The two are also the first guests we have welcomed since its establishment. Have lunch with the two, hoping that they will have a pleasant noon ... "

"Honored!"

"Very honored."

After the four raised their glasses together, they took a sip of champagne. The next time was Ivana's time. As the hostess, she was the protagonist of the dinner party. She talked elegantly, generously, and calmly adjusted the atmosphere and topic. Every topic can be talked about, making the whole lunch full of pleasant laughter.

Andy watched Ivana happily as he controlled the tempo of the whole lunch. From time to time, he and Hamilton and the Minister talked a few words alone, and Ivana would chat with another person, so that the guests would not feel the cold. Embarrassing.

For an excellent female ing like Ivana, she is a high-level social status figure, but beauty is just an add-on. Her vision, ability, vision and thinking position are not understandable by ordinary people.

Of course, beauty will magnify her advantages, and Andy knows better than anyone that Ivana's elegance is a sharp and lethal weapon.

Hamilton looked at the Minister's back from the toilet, and stared at Andy who didn't give him a little rustiness, and smiled: "Mr. Smith, are you interested in the Blue Mountain coffee quota?"

Andy held up the champagne glass, touched the other side, took a sip, then put down the glass, and laughed: "I'm interested in the business that can make money, and I'm more interested in Blue Mountain Coffee. That part of the quota, the United Kingdom and the United States have only a 0% share, but the foot basin has enjoyed a 90% share for 30 years. This market has been monopolized by them for too long, what do you say? "

"I'm afraid it's hard to know that all the estates that produce real Blue Mountain coffee beans have a stake in the foot basin people, and they have priority ..."

"Isn't this 30-year contract expiring soon? I don't think the Jamaican government may want to see the people in the basin continue to monopolize. They are just worried about the long-term sales problem, so I came and brought them US dollars and Sales guarantee, and courage! "Andy and Hamilton looked at each other.

"However, before you arrived, I talked with Mr. Tuffton. It is a bit difficult to break the foot basin people's monopoly on Blue Mountain Coffee, mainly because of their influence within the Jamaican government ..."

Hamilton heard Andy's words, his eyes narrowed slightly, and then said lightly: "The Prime Minister of Jamaica, Simpson Miller, has been calling for the United States to increase its assistance to Jamaica. He hopes to increase cooperation in the fight against du crime.

Jamaica ’s US policy focuses on promoting official exchanges and exchanges, increasing exports of American goods and services, and hoping to attract more American tourists and investment and strive for more development assistance ...

Having said that, Hamilton looked helplessly at Andy and Ivana who were smiling at him.

"I know that our two countries have signed investment protection and intellectual property protection agreements. Now facing monopoly and unfair competition, I hope that the US government can help and protect my legitimate rights and interests of people who accept Huishui. I believe this should be No problem, right? "Andy lifted champagne with a smile on his face and smirked Hamilton.

"The pedestal has supported Jamaica's coffee industry. Continued investment for decades. Priority rights and intricate relationships are not so simple ..."

"I am bound to obtain the export quota of Blue Mountain Coffee. I am very unhappy with the monopoly of the foot basin people. It is ridiculous that the United States has only a 5% quota. Do you know what we Americans drink? Blue Mountain flavor, even Not even 30% of the Blue Mountain coffee beans ...

By the way, I heard that Business Bu is trying to conduct an anti-dumping investigation on the steel and aluminum of the foot basin? "

Hearing Andy's indifferent questioning, Hamilton's forehead suddenly burst into a black line to investigate a big head ghost. Facing this kind of bug-level second dai, I believe that anyone who encounters it will have a first two big heads, young master. In the financial crisis, okay, stop doing business ...
