Chapter 1004: 'Robbery' Andy Smith
Hamilton drank sweet champagne, but bitter. He knew that he wouldn't want to be exploited this time. Nima, it was a good thing to borrow!
The timing is really just right, no matter which side can not withstand Andy Smith's toss, of course, the United States will not be unlucky, but this hegemonic stick policy is not good for the current financial crisis.
"I will report and negotiate through diplomatic channels. I hope Mr. Smith can wait patiently for some time. At present, the global financial turmoil and any business turmoil will cause a chain reaction. So, what share do you want?"
Andy and Ivana smiled at each other, Andy smiled and said to Hamilton: "Forty-five percent! I want half of the foot basin, but not too much?"
"Ahem ..." Hamilton almost sipped champagne, staring at Andy with a stun.
"I know that this share negotiation will be a bit difficult, but please believe me, maybe I can't promote the trade between the two countries, but it is not difficult to promote some things, I believe that many large American companies will stand by me On this side, you can even tell the pedestal side directly, either compromise or face an anti-dumping investigation, you know, I can do it! "
With a smile, Andy elegantly put a piece of lobster meat into his mouth, slowly chewing, and watching Hamilton with a frown, then said, "Maybe you don't know that there are many manufacturing of foot basins. The problem, the quality of the foot basin, is a thing of the past, and they will agree! "
At this time, the returning Jamaican Minister of Agriculture walked back, and the atmosphere at the table was restored, but Hamilton's mood was somewhat depressed.
After lunch, the three sat on the sofa in the living room and tasted the best Blue Mountain coffee. Hamilton tasted the unique sour bitter mellow of 00% pure Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee, especially its strong and unique fruit aroma, and he couldn't help sighing.
"Sure enough, it is the world's top-level coffee. It has a lot of aftertastes. To be honest, it is really difficult to drink such an authentic blue mountain coffee in the United States. I have to say that it is a pity. How many shares of this coffee are there in a year? "
After hearing Hamilton's words, Minister Tuffton's face, which was happy with the words of admiration for Jamaica's pride, could not help but twitched slightly, and the expression on his face was slightly awkward.
Andy said with a smile: "The type of Blue Mountain coffee we drink now is usually bought by the European royal family and the billionaires who like me. This is not for sale. Of course, such a superb Blue Mountain is less than a hundred tons per year in the United States. Many of the U.S. sales are blue mountain-flavored mixed coffees. The taste is indeed much worse. There is no way ... "
"Oh? Is it so little?" Hamilton was also slightly surprised, really surprised, looking at Mr. Minister, and nodding his head a little unnaturally.
"Because Foot Basin has signed a 30-year contract with the Jamaican Coffee Industry Bureau to continue investing in the Jamaican coffee industry, Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee was basically underwritten for the Foot Basin Consortium before 2009."
Hamilton heard the minister's explanation, took a sip of coffee, and nodded slightly, squinting his eyes.
"Isn't this contract about to expire soon? In order for Americans to taste authentic Blue Mountain coffee, I came here to get some export quotas. To be honest, sometimes I feel lucky." Andy smiled. Put the coffee cup on the table, leaned comfortably on the back of the sofa, and looked at the curious expressions of the two curious gentlemen on the opposite side.
"You see, when I wanted to join the Blue Mountain coffee trade, I was just in time for the 30-year contract expiry. I was very fortunate at this point. Then I was facing the global economic crisis, the economic downturn in the foot basin, and the decline in purchasing power, plus Jamaican coffee. Farmer awakened, unwilling to be monopolized by the footbath merchant again, so he raised the price of coffee beans.
The foot basin company just happened to cancel the order for no reason. This time I not only got a lot of blue mountain coffee beans, but also solved the current inventory problem of various coffee estates, so as not to cause serious waste and losses. "
Hamilton nodded at the right time, and smiled: "Luck is also a kind of strength, others are envious of it, haha, it seems that in the future, you can taste authentic Blue Mountain coffee ..."
"Ahem ... I'm sorry, I'm afraid it's not that simple. The foot basin person has monopolized the market and distribution share of Blue Mountain Coffee. This time I was lucky to catch up. How much coffee quota the United States can divide in the future depends on the foot basin person. Don't agree with each other. "Andy shook his head with a bitter smile, a smile flickered into his deep eyes, and began to give the Minister an eye drop.
"Ha" Hamilton seems to have heard very ridiculous words and sneered, "When do we need footbaths to decide trade in the United States, and we and Jamaica are close partners, Mr. Minister, I hope you can carefully consider future quotas The issue of distribution is not only a matter of whether Americans can drink authentic Blue Mountain coffee. Trade monopoly will harm the free economic environment. "
Mr. Minister is a fool. Even now I can see that the two of them are putting pressure on him. Although he is very upset and humiliated, he really dare not lose his temper in the presence of the two people. He It is very clear that the two people in front of them can cause lethality. In order to order a share of footbath coffee, the Jamaican government will be harmless. Unless he is crazy, let alone who sells it, the price paid by the Americans is higher than the sly footbath.
"I also hope that our people can make more money, but after all, the investment of the foot basin people supports the Blue Mountain Coffee Manor, and the contract is limited. They have priority. For this price increase, they have the company threatening to withdraw the capital ..."
"Oh, I want their shares, I can continue to support the coffee estate, even if they all withdraw, I can go on, what?" Andy directly joked, but he was worried that the little devil would not give up holding the shares , Really want to let go but instead made him cheap.
"Mr. Smith, are you serious?" The Minister of Agriculture took a moment's notice, and his expression became serious. To be honest, most people in the cabinet didn't want to offend the pedestal people, just because these people held the shares of the four major coffee estates. And the debt of some medium-sized coffee gardens, if this problem can be solved, Jamaica will not really be pinched by the foot basin people seven inches.
"Of course, I'm serious. I want to trade in Blue Mountain coffee!" ...
With a smile on her face, Andy dangled Ivana's waist, and said to Hamilton with a dull complexion, "You said he should understand what I mean by aspiration!"
Hamilton looked at the back of the Jamaican Minister of Agriculture and sat down in the car. He turned to look at the handsome face with a smile. A feeling of humiliation made him helplessly grin, "Maybe I do n’t understand, but there will be people Tell them! So, Mr. Smith, can we talk to each other alone. "
"Of course you can, but I've been looking forward to your arrival, after all, you brought me a super gift bag ..." Andy's right mouth turned up, revealing a weird expression you know, making Hamilton's skin unnatural Tugged a few times.
Back in the study room on the second floor of the yacht cabin, Andy handed Hamilton an ancient ba cigar, while tasting the top coffee and tasting the top cigar. Neither of them spoke first, but he just threw up. fog.
"Every spring, the courtyard of the White House is full of magnolia blossoms, cherry blossoms, and beautiful blue sky. It is only a long time ago, and our Lord Treasurer will find that the political reality of Washington will make him very frustrated. His term is about to end, and the mess now taken over by the Treasury Secretary will make him miserable. Have you ever thought of coming over to help me after Paulson ’s term? "
Andy exhaled a spit of smoke and watched the opposite Hamilton open his mouth and dig the corner.
