I can see the commodity price curve

Chapter 329 This is my old profession

Carmen stood in front of Zhang Yue and asked: "Do you know how to make money quickly?"

Zhang Yue was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Do you want me to teach you how to make money?
Simple. In fact, the easiest thing to do in the world is to make money. "

Carmen immediately said disdainfully: "Are you bragging?

What I’m talking about is not how to make money, but how to make money quickly.

If you just want to make money, just go to work in Boss Potato's mine.

But the work in the mine is hard, tiring and dangerous. Uncle Gubu had one of his legs broken last year.

Although Boss Tudou gave him a lot of pension, he could only spend the rest of his life in bed.

I don't want to be like him. "

Zhang Yue smiled slightly: "Who said you have to work in a mining factory?
If you really want to go to the mine, you can just ask Chief Callum directly. There is no need to ask me.

If I want to make money, I will definitely use the simplest and easiest way to make ten times more money than miners. "

"real or fake?"

Not only Carmen, but also Chris came around curiously.

The reason why he was called Big Boss Zhang Yue was because Zhang Yue spent money lavishly along the way.

I have to say that when a person does not care about money at all no matter what he does, he really has a leadership temperament.

It’s just that Chris has only seen Zhang Yue spend money, but has never seen him make money.

So why the big boss is so rich, he also wants to know.

Zhang Yue did not answer directly, but asked with a smile: "I need costs to make money, do you have the capital?"

Chris immediately said: "I have the capital."

After saying that, he took out a wad of banknotes, with face values ​​of one yuan, two yuan, five yuan, and 20 yuan.

These are beautiful knives. Zhang Yue gave them to him when he helped you buy things for Zhang Yue on this way back.

"A total of 180 and a half dollars."

Zhang Yue looked at him with a smile: "Not bad, I have saved so much."

180 five U.S. dollars, which is almost equivalent to RMB 300, which already has very good purchasing power in the poor rural areas of Kenya.

Then he asked Carmen: "What about you?"

Carmen's face turned red and he shook his head: "I have no money."

Zhang Yue was helpless: "How can you do business without money? If you want to learn to make money from me, you must have capital."

Carmen thought for a while and suddenly took out an ivory: "I picked this up on the grassland. Can I exchange it for money?"

Zhang Yue was stunned for a moment, then his face changed slightly: "Where did you pick it up?"

"That's in that direction!" He pointed behind him, "I went out to herd sheep and tripped over it.

Chief Kamler said that someone would pay a high price for this thing and asked me to keep it carefully. "

Zhang Yue shook his head: "Ivory is prohibited from being bought and sold. In addition to ivory, there are also rhinoceros horns and so on.

In this way, if you give me this ivory, I will have the opportunity to hand it over for you.

There will be a reward for turning in the ivory, but it won't be much. But no matter how much it is, I'll give you five hundred dollars. How about it? "

Carmen nodded immediately: "Okay!"

Zhang Yue smiled slightly: "Now that we have the capital, we need to buy coffee beans."

As soon as these words came out, Chris and Carmen were stunned.

"Buy coffee beans? If you want to make money, don't you have to sell coffee beans?"

Zhang Yue: "I know!

But if you want to sell coffee beans, you must have coffee beans. "

Carmen said quickly: “Of course I know this, we can go pick coffee beans.

I know where there are more wild coffee beans. Let’s go pick them now. "

Zhang Yue glanced at Carmen helplessly: "Do you know why you can't make money?"

"why?"

"It's very simple. If you want to make money in business, the most taboo thing is to scratch your beard and eyebrows.

Let me ask you, if you were asked to pick wild coffee beans, how many could you pick in a day? "

"Five pounds."

“How much does a pound of coffee beans cost?”

"Fifteen cents."

"So you pick the coffee beans yourself and you only make 75 cents a day.

Even if you work harder, get up before dawn in the morning and don't go home until you can't see anything at night, you can earn at most one dollar, which is pretty good.

If I remember correctly, if you go to the potato mine to assist in mining, you can earn three dollars a day even if you don't go into the mine.

In this case, why do you have to work so hard to pick coffee beans? "

Chris nodded immediately: "Big Boss is right. In the past, everyone would go to the wild to pick wild coffee beans in order to make more money, but no one does it now."

Carmen was puzzled: "What should we do?"

“It’s very simple, we don’t pick the coffee beans, we buy them directly.

You two come with me. "

Chris and Carmen followed Zhang Yue curiously, and saw Zhang Yue find Chief Callum.

Chief Callum was a little strange: "Boss Zhang, what are you doing?"

Zhang Yue smiled slightly: "I heard that the quality of coffee beans in Kenya is particularly good?"

Chief Callum nodded quickly when he heard this: "Yes, coffee beans are one of our specialties.

Our coffee beans have a unique fruit aroma and juice acidity, especially the fruit aroma, and the taste is exceptionally rich.

There are grapefruit flavors, wine flavors, etc. "

Zhang Yue looked surprised: "Great, I usually like to drink coffee."

Chief Callum smiled and said: "It's easy. I have a lot of coffee beans. I can just give them to you."

However, Zhang Yue shook his head: "How can that be done?
Moreover, the quantity I want is relatively large, and your inventory is most likely not enough. "

Chief Callum was stunned: "What do you mean?"

"I want to pay your people to help pick wild coffee beans, how about that?"

Chief Callum's face was full of embarrassment: "Well... we usually have to farm and go hunting, so we may not have time."

Farming and hunting are just his excuses.

It's not that he doesn't want to help Zhang Yue, but that after the potato mines started to be mined, picking wild coffee beans has become very useless.

No villager is willing to do this job.

Zhang Yue's voice was so calm: "I'm willing to pay one dollar for a pound of wild coffee beans."

As soon as these words came out, Chief Callum was stunned for a moment: "What? One pound of wild coffee beans is one dollar, is it real or fake?"

"Of course it's true." Zhang Yue took out a wad of money and said, "I'll take as much as you can pick, but I only have five days."

"I'm going to call someone now." Chief Callum ran very fast on both feet.

Carmen can only pick five kilograms of coffee beans a day, but for the adults in the tribe, ten kilograms a day is not a big problem.

In other words, as long as you work hard for a day, you can earn ten dollars.

The wages paid to workers in potato mines are no more than eight dollars at most.

It's close to home, the job is easy, and you can earn more. Only a fool would not do such good things.

Sure enough, after the people in the tribe heard what Chief Callum said, they immediately cheered excitedly.

So everyone joined forces and ran like crazy towards the direction where the wild coffee trees grew.

Zhang Yue nodded with satisfaction, then picked up the phone and said a few words.

Then he said to Chris and Carmen: "Both of you, go find a steelyard."

Chris said blankly: "What are you looking for a scale for?"

"Of course we have to wait for the coffee bean pickers to come back and weigh them for them. Otherwise, how can we calculate the money with them?"

Carmen was dumbfounded: "We really want to buy coffee beans, but aren't coffee beans fifteen cents a pound?"

Zhang Yue looked at him: "If you can buy it for fifteen cents, of course it's no problem, but do you think someone will sell it to you?"

“But even if you want to raise the price, there will be people willing to do it for fifty cents a pound.

Isn’t the dollar per pound a bit high? "

Zhang Yue smiled and looked at him: "Remember, if you want to do business, the first thing is not how much money you can make, but how to make profits for others.

Only by letting others make money will your money come rolling in. "

Carmen still wanted to ask clearly, but Zhang Yue had already turned and left.

He is collecting sponge grass samples and is very busy now.

Finally, half a day later, a black man drove over in a pickup truck.

Seeing Zhang Yue, he quickly got out of the car: "Boss, your things have been delivered."

Zhang Yue nodded: "Put it there!"

Then he stood up and walked over to the pickup truck.

This is a large pickup truck with a load capacity of up to five tons.

Zhang Yue looked at it for a while and expressed that he was very satisfied.

At this time, some tribesmen had returned carrying cloth bags with bulging bags, which were naturally their newly picked wild coffee beans.

Zhang Yue moved an electronic scale from the pickup truck, put the coffee beans on the scale and weighed them, and found that they weighed seventeen kilograms.

So he took out seventeen dollars and handed it to the other party.

During Zhang Yue's weighing process, several tribesmen watched curiously.

Although Chief Callum had repeatedly told them that Zhang Yue would buy it at a high price, they did not believe it was true until this moment.

So these people became energetic and took out their coffee beans one after another.

There are newly picked ones and some that have been picked and stored in the past.

Zhang Yue inspects all these coffees one by one. If there is any quality problem, he will not accept it. If the quality is good, he will pay a little more.

When it got completely dark, a total of [-] kilograms were harvested.

The next four days were spent harvesting coffee beans in the same manner. On the second day, we harvested [-] jins, on the third day, we harvested [-] jins, on the fourth day, we harvested [-] jins, and on the fifth day, we harvested [-] jins.

Five days and a total of [-] kilograms.

Zhang Yue looked at the coffee beans on the pickup truck, smiled and said to Chris and Carmen: "Let's go!"

Chris was a little confused: "Let's go? Where?"

"Of course I'm going to sell coffee beans." After saying that, he opened the door of the pickup truck and let the two of them in.

Then three people and a car began to run quickly on the grassland.

Twenty minutes later, Carmen suddenly said: "Stop."

Zhang Yue looked at him strangely: "Stop? What are you doing? Do you want to go to the toilet?"

Carmen shook her head: "The place to buy coffee beans has arrived."

Unexpectedly, Zhang Yue ignored him and continued to drive forward.

Chris looked puzzled: "Don't we sell our coffee here?"

Zhang Yue said: "You definitely can't sell it here!

This is just the smallest purchase point. No matter how high their price is, it will not exceed thirty cents per pound.

We charge a dollar for it, so don’t we have to pay death if we sell it to them? "

Hearing what Zhang Yue said, the two of them became even more confused: "If you don't sell it to him, who will you sell it to?"

Zhang Yue smiled slightly: "Want to know?"

"of course."

"Just follow me and you will definitely know."

The less Zhang Yue said, the more curious they became.

The pickup truck walked forward for another half an hour, and finally came to the only road in the direction of Vanier.

Zhang Yue finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Since he was used to roads everywhere in the country, he was really not used to the constant bumping of the car on the vast prairie.

Fortunately, everything is over.

But Zhang Yue soon realized that he was thinking too much.

Because this is the only road, it becomes bumpy every time you walk a certain distance.

The bumpiness is even more exaggerated than walking on the grassland.

Even though Zhang Yue was the driver, he felt a little motion sick.

However, Chris and Carmen seemed to be fine. They curiously looked out at the scenery through the window, and occasionally let out excited shouts like wolf howls.

Finally, the pickup truck entered the city of Vanier, and the road conditions completely improved.

Zhang Yue searched for a while with his cell phone, and finally drove to a grain store with an English name.

He jumped out of the car and asked, "Are you going to collect the coffee beans?"

Opposite was a black girl: "Coffee beans? What flavor?"

“There are all kinds of flavors, mine is wild coffee beans.”

Hearing the words "wild coffee beans", the black girl's eyes instantly lit up: "Really? Can you let me see the quality?"

Zhang Yue waved his hand for her to look around.

The black lady was very professional. She first checked the appearance of the coffee beans, then checked the humidity, and finally nodded with satisfaction:
"The quality of these coffee beans is good, how are you going to sell them?"

Zhang Yue said: "How to sell what? I will sell as much as you can charge.

Of course I want cash, if it's on credit then forget it. "

"Well, these coffees cost eighty cents a pound."

As soon as these words came out, Chris and Carmen looked at each other with very surprised expressions.

Because in their understanding, the purchase price of wild coffee beans is fifteen cents per pound.

I didn’t expect that the beautiful young lady in front of me would give so much.

However, Zhang Yue shook his head: "What's eighty cents per pound? You treat me as one of those black people who don't understand anything, right?"
Give me a real price, and if it works, I'll sell it to you. If it doesn't work, I'll go and ask elsewhere. "

The black girl was stunned: "Then how much do you want to sell it for?"

Zhang Yue stretched out his finger: "A pound of at least five dollars."

"What? Five dollars?" The black girl looked at Zhang Yue's expression as if she was looking at a fool, "Go away! I can't do your business."

However, Zhang Yue just looked at her: "Really?
Could you please help me with something? "

"what's up?"

"Call your boss out, I want to talk to him personally."

Wakaba has been a little anxious these past two days.

Because the price of coffee beans in Kenya is rising at an extremely high rate.

He had long wanted to stock up on more goods and prepare to make a fortune.

However, I found to my dismay that the higher the price of coffee beans, the less people sold them.

Watching the money you have received disappear before your eyes, this is an extremely painful blow to any businessman.

He was hesitating whether to contact some primitive tribesmen to pick them at a high price when the female assistant suddenly walked in: "Boss, there is someone outside who wants to sell coffee beans."

Wakaba's eyes lit up: "Really? How much goods does he have?"

"Five thousand one hundred pounds."

"Great, come on, let's go out together."

"But boss, the other party said that a pound of coffee beans costs at least five dollars, otherwise there is no need to discuss it."
