Some people believe it, some people don't believe it.
But some people still read the news.
Some people even found out that those coffee farms were either invested by Bai Hao or owned by Bai Hao. At least they had borrowed money from Bai Hao's investment company or bought Bai Hao's coffee seeds.
On the fourth day, all the media under Global Pictures, which Bai Hao belongs to, began to grab Bird's Nest Company and try to make it worse.
Of course, the evidence is real.
Who doesn’t have a dark history in such a large company?
What does Bai Hao want to do?
Francis was even more confused. With Bai Hao's level of wealth, he would definitely not be short of such a small amount of money.
In the eyes of ordinary wealthy people, the global coffee market share occupied by these two companies is indeed coveted. If they can get 5% of the market share, they will be rich enough to be rich in the world.
But, for Bai Hao.
It would be ridiculous to fight for this kind of money in person.
Francis' assistant asked, "How about making a phone call and asking."
"No." Francis shook his head: "Such a trivial matter is not worth wasting time."
In fact, Francis didn't want to ask because he felt that he might be laughed at by Bai Hao if he asked. If he couldn't even understand such a trivial matter, then his level was not too bad.
So, what does Bai Hao want to do?
Chu Junlan has officially entered a period of recuperation. Her current belly is absolutely inconvenient to come out to see people, and she cannot let people know that Bai Hao is about to have a child.
Xue Linlin was transferred back to Bai Hao's secretarial team. One afternoon, Xue Linlin looked at the coffee in front of her. The label said, "cat poop coffee."
When Li Xianpu came, he also poured himself a cup, tasted it, and thought about it for a long time.
"Is it fake?" Xue Linlin felt that it would be impossible for Bai Hao to prepare this kind of high-end coffee for his secretary. I heard that in Western continents, the price per pound is at least US$500, and particularly high-quality coffee can exceed US$1,000.
Li Xianpu put down the cup and thought about it again: "I'm sure it's true and the quality is not low."
Xian Qianwei came in at this time: "It's true, but it's also false."
"What do you mean?" Xue Linlin said she didn't understand.
Xian Qianwei replied: "This work is handled by an auxiliary group of the food group, and Jiang Shiyuan is responsible for the secretarial group. Ask her and she will know the details."
"How much do you know?"
"I just know that our people in Java have artificially raised countless Javanese civet cats. During the season when the coffee beans are about to mature, they starve these cats for several days, and then pile dozens or hundreds of tons of coffee beans in the breeding
Area. When the cat is hungry, it will eat. When it is full, it will be sent to a specific cage to collect coffee beans."
After listening to Xian Qianwei's story, Li Xianpu looked at the coffee in the cup and was silent for three minutes.
Then, Li Xianpu said: "Then this is true."
"Really?" Xue Linlin said in her heart, this is still true.
Li Xianpu replied: "It's true. If you force feed it, it's not good. Civet cats will only select the most mature coffee beans. This is a selection process in itself, at least the best beans. Then it is completed in the stomach.
Fermentation destroys the protein of coffee beans and produces short peptides and free amino acids. The bitterness of coffee will be reduced."
After answering, Li Xianpu asked: "What I don't understand is that in the current industrial layout of the coffee business, is it worthy of the factory director's personal intervention?"
"I don't know." Xian Qianwei was the first to answer, simple and direct.
Li Xianpu stared at Xian Qianwei: "You don't even know?"
Xian Qianwei asked back: "Your Highness, you don't even know. Do you think I can know? We will do whatever the factory director says."
Li Xianpu thought carefully: "I used to think that the factory director wanted to attack the coffee industry chain and then create his own industrial chain, because we have mastered a large number of coffee source industries, but after thinking about it, the factory director took action himself.
It’s not worth it no matter what.”
Xue Linlin said: "Who is going to ask? I am also very curious and can't figure it out either."
Everyone shook their heads.
No one wants to ask.
What Bai Hao wanted to say must have been said long ago.
If Bai Hao didn't say anything, go ask!
How stupid do you have to be to point it out and ask directly: Director, what do you want to do?
I won’t go, I won’t go.
A few people were discussing, and new work arrangements came from the group.
"The factory director told us to go to Lanka Island tomorrow and stay in a hotel we invested in."
Xue Linlin stood up: "I will take care of this. I still need to get used to the rest of the work. Arranging travel is easier to get started."
Lanka Island is across the sea from the island of Siam. Bai Hao obtained the investment rights to this island a long time ago, and jointly developed resorts, tourism, and ship repairs on this island with many Rouyi companies.
Waiting business.
This is located at the north entrance of the west side of Malacca Coast.
At the same time, the distance to the west exit of the newly dug ditch by Bai Hao is 400 kilometers in a straight line. Let’s put it this way, west of Bandar Malaysia on the Malacca Strait, if you want to go to Siam, it is closer to go through that ditch than to go around Temasek.
, faster.
And ships from Java and Aceh Province in Java will definitely choose that route first, as it is closer, faster and more fuel-efficient.
Lanka is a very convenient temporary docking point for small and medium-sized boats before going to the ditch.
Xue Linlin went to the secretarial team, first got the timetable, and then looked at the guest list.
After reading the list, Xue Linlin could only smile bitterly. This job is not easy.
Although the people Bai Hao dated were not as good as the wedding guests at that time, they were also the more trusted people around those guests.
Obviously, this is going to be a big move.
The first thing is not to arrange the hotel, but to ensure the safety of Bai Hao's trip and the guests.
Why does Bai Hao have trouble with coffee?
Li Xianpu was very curious and went to check various analytical data on the coffee industry.
According to the current scale, the scale of the global coffee industry is more than 100 billion U.S. dollars. This is the scale of the industry, not profit. In any industry, the profit rate can be found or calculated.
The net profit margin of the coffee industry will not exceed 8%.
Even if Bai Hao controls the entire coffee industry, his net profit will only be US$8 billion per year.
What's more, no one can master an industry alone.
Bai Hao's is the highest, reaching 30 or 40%, and the annual net profit will not exceed 3 billion US dollars.
With just this little money, Bai Hao personally took action. Li Xianpu couldn't figure it out.
Not to mention anything else, the net profit that Xiaoxing Consortium can provide Bai Hao every year far exceeds this amount. If all the industries in Nanbang are well run, the amount is more than ten times this amount.
In Li Xianpu's view, what's more, under the Eastern cultural system, tea is the first beverage, and coffee is not as good as it.
