I can see the commodity price curve

"What are you talking about? A pound of coffee beans costs at least five dollars?"

Wakaba repeated this sentence and suddenly frowned.

It wasn't that he thought the other party was being too open-minded, but how did the other party know that coffee beans suddenly became in short supply?

After pondering for a moment, he stood up and said, "Come with me to go out and have a look."

Zhang Yue stood at the door of the store, looking very confident.

The reason why he led Chris and Carmen to collect coffee beans and offered a high price of US$[-] million per catty was not because he had too much money.

But after Zhang Yue heard Carmen's request, he first used his eyesight to look at the prices of everything near Vanier for the next month.

It turned out that only coffee beans would increase in price after five days.

This is also the reason why Zhang Yue only took five days.

Soon a bearded black man walked out.

Although he had heard the clerk describe Zhang Yue's appearance to him, Wakaba was still surprised when he saw Zhang Yue.

After pondering for a moment, he opened his mouth and said with a smile: "Hello, guest from the mysterious East."

Zhang Yue also nodded to him: "Hello!"

"About these coffee beans, I can buy them all at the price you said, but can I ask you a question?"

Zhang Yue saw him: "What's the problem?"

“How do you know the price of coffee beans will go up?”

Zhang Yue smiled slightly: "It's simple, because of the Caribbean."

Wakaba was stunned: "What happened over there in the Caribbean?"

Now it was Zhang Yue's turn to be surprised: "Didn't you hear about the discovery of gold mines in the Caribbean?"

Wakaba nodded: "If you haven't heard of it, you may have heard it, but it's all hearsay. I don't know if it's accurate."

Zhang Yue: "There is no airtight wall in the world, so this matter is most likely accurate.

If this is true, then let me ask you, what will happen in the Caribbean next? "

"There will definitely be conflicts of interest among various mine owners at first, and eventually businessmen from other countries will settle in."

Zhang Yue nodded: "Yes, according to the time, businessmen from those countries should have arrived by now.

Even though it is just a small gold mine, the series of reactions this gold mine can bring are very terrifying.

In other words, all people who work related to gold mines will be affected by this incident to a greater or lesser extent.

The more people there are, the more consumption there will be. In addition, prices are cheap in Africa, so there will definitely be a lot of shopping to do.

But then again, with the economic development in Africa, although businessmen in developed countries are willing to pay, the products they can purchase are extremely limited.

And Kenyan coffee beans are one of them.

In addition, the price of this thing is not expensive, and the sales volume will naturally increase exponentially.

As sales go up, prices will definitely go up as well.

Anticipating this, I started stocking up on coffee beans.

Facts have also proven it right. "

Wakaba gave Zhang Yue a thumbs up excitedly: "As expected of a businessman from the East, he is indeed powerful."

After saying that, he took out his calculator and started to calculate: "Five thousand one hundred kilograms of coffee beans totals twenty-five thousand five hundred dollars.

In this case, I will directly give you twenty-six thousand US dollars and ask you a question.

How long do you think the current coffee beans can last? "

Zhang Yue smiled slightly: "There are two possibilities.

First, if the gold mine is divided up by everyone, the price of Kenyan coffee beans will not be cheap until the gold mine is exhausted.

Second, if this gold mine is taken over by one of the companies, most of the remaining people will not benefit from it.

Then they will evacuate immediately.

As a result, the price of Kenyan coffee beans will immediately fall.

However, with the help of this incident, the reputation of Wu Kenya Coffee Beans has been established.

So this drop is not just a partial drop, it does not return to the original price. "

Kawakaba nodded: "I understand, thank you."

On the way back, Zhang Yue smiled and waved the money in his hand and said to the two of them: "How about it? Isn't it very easy to make money?"

Chris gave a thumbs up: “It must be easy!

I don’t care who you are, you are my boss.

If most of the big guys can't make money, then the little guys like me who follow you around will have no choice but to eat chaff. "

Zhang Yue looked at this guy angrily: "You want to flatter me, please can you think of some good words?

This can at least make me feel really awesome.

But apart from big words, clichés, and empty words, you have nothing useful to say.

Don't tell me, I'm embarrassed just by the look of your mouth. "

Chris's expression was full of grievance: "But I really think you are amazing! Super amazing!"

Finally too lazy to pay attention to him, he counted the US dollars in his hand and said, "Start dividends now.

This time we collected a total of 180 kilograms of coffee beans. Chris contributed $[-] and Carmen contributed $[-].

I paid the rest in advance.

We will allocate it according to this proportion, but let me explain in advance that I rented this car. The rent is twenty US dollars a day, a total of US$120 for six days.

Added another fifteen dollars worth of oil.

These were supposed to be included in the cost, but the Wakaba boss gave you an extra five hundred dollars, so you won't be deducted.

But after you get the money, you must each treat me to a meal.

The meal can't be less than four dishes, and there must be wine. Is that okay? "

Chris didn’t expect that Zhang Yue would pay him dividends, and he immediately became excited: “Absolutely no problem.

Don't say four dishes, I will arrange eight dishes for you. "

Zhang Yue nodded with satisfaction: "Your 180 five-dollar knife will be doubled five times. This is 920 five-dollar knife. Keep it."

Chris looked at the money in his hand with joy and couldn't help but kiss it several times: "Thank you, boss!"

Zhang Yue looked at Carmen next to him again: "That ivory of yours is worth five hundred dollars.

In other words, I should give you $[-] for the associated costs this time.

Give you! "

While Zhang Yue and Chris were talking, Carmen had been sitting next to him in deep thought.

So when Zhang Yue handed him the money, Carmen seemed not to hear it.

Chris finally couldn't help it: "I said, why are you in such a daze?
If the big boss is willing to give you money, it's a compliment to you. If you don't want it, you can give it to me. "

Only then did Carmen come to his senses. He reached out and took the money Zhang Yue handed him, staring at it with his eyes as if it was the most precious thing in the world.

Suddenly, Carmen gritted her teeth and handed the money to Zhang Yue.

Zhang Yue was a little puzzled: "What's wrong? You want to say no reward for no merit, right?

In fact, there is no need for this at all.

To be honest, the real value of your ivory is far higher than five hundred dollars.

But now that the whole world has banned the ivory trade, I will give you five hundred.

So from a certain perspective, you have already suffered a loss. "

Carmen shook her head: “You misunderstood me.

I picked up that ivory, and I usually play with it when I have nothing to do.

Maybe it's really valuable, but it's worthless in my eyes.

I give you this money because I want you to teach me how to do business. "

Zhang Yue was stunned, not expecting the other party to say that.

But Carmen's eyes burst out with burning light: "I heard everything you said to Boss Wakaba just now.

Although I don't particularly understand it, it is really powerful.

I want to learn this technique. "Zhang Yue couldn't help but sweat.

What he said just now was completely nonsense.

Because Zhang Yue only knew about the discovery of Jinshan in the Caribbean.

Unexpectedly, not only Wakaba was coaxed by him, but Carmen seemed to be fascinated as well.

It’s just that I really can’t teach you!
Zhang Yue thought for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "Do you really want to learn?"

Carmen nodded vigorously.

Zhang Yue said: "In this case, I will tell the truth.

What I just said to the boss of Wakaba is called market analysis.

To put it simply, it is to sort out and summarize all possible changes in the market.

Then discover possible business opportunities inside.

Just wanting accurate analysis puts very high demands on people.

Not only do you have to read and write, you also have to travel far away to study.

Generally speaking, if you study from now until the age of 30, you will have some success.

Of course, if you are a super genius and are willing to work hard.

This time will be shortened, but it will take at least 15 years to shorten it further.

Are you still willing to learn from me now? "

Unexpectedly, Carmen nodded decisively: "Of course I do.

Don't say 15 years, even 25 years, 35 years, as long as I can learn your skills, I am willing to learn. "

After saying that, he handed over the money in his hand again.

Zhang Yue gave him a thumbs up: "Have ambition.

In this case, I will talk to Chief Callum when I get back and arrange for you to study.

I know that your family's financial situation is relatively difficult, and I can fully sponsor you to complete your studies.

But don’t rush to be happy first.

I have never been too late to make a profit. When you come back from your studies, you must find a way to pay me back for all the investment I made in you, and you will have to calculate interest.

how about it? "

Carmen nodded immediately: "No problem."

Zhang Yue smiled slightly: "Okay. As for the money in your hand, go back and give it to your parents!

It's not easy for them to raise you up to now, so you should show your filial piety. "

"Ok!"

Zhang Yu looked at Chris again: "What about you? Do you want to study with him?
I can help him, and I can help you too. "

Unexpectedly, Chris waved his hands quickly: "Don't.

I can't stay in a shabby place like school. If I have this time, I'd better hang out with you, the big boss. "

Zhang Yue looked at this guy helplessly.

Chris is the son of Chief Callum. Although the tribe is not rich, it definitely does not include Chief Callum and this guy.

In addition, Zhang Yue has always believed that different education methods should be used for different students.

Since Chris was unwilling to learn, there was no need for him to force himself.

By the time Zhang Yue drove the pickup truck to the tribe, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon.

Suddenly, Carmen asked Zhang Yue: "Teacher Zhang, should we continue to collect coffee beans?"

Zhang Yue shook his head: "What to charge? The purpose of me talking about coffee beans is just to prove to you my ability to make money.

Now that you have made money, you will naturally stop buying coffee beans. "

However, Carmen said: "But didn't you say that the high price of coffee beans will last for a long time?"

Zhang Yue nodded: "It will indeed last for a while, but so what? I won't accept it if I don't want to, it's so willful."

In addition to the reason of being willful, Zhang Yue also needs to look for sponge grass plants with Du Zhijian.

Although he completely let it go, Du Zhijian certainly wouldn't say anything.

But since Du Ancai had been promised before, Zhang Yue decided to carry the matter through to the end.

Unexpectedly, Carmen said: "Since you don't want to buy it, can you lend me this pickup truck?
Of course, I will pay the subsequent rent myself. "

Zhang Yue looked at the other party in surprise: "Okay.

You can rent it for as many days as you want. When you stop renting it, you can just return it. "

He told the other party the return address and method of returning the car.

Carmen quickly remembered it carefully.

Then he looked at Chris: "I want to continue buying coffee beans. Do you want to come with me?"

Chris was stunned: "What? Continue to buy coffee beans, but didn't the big boss already say he won't accept them?"

Carmen said: “The big boss did say that he won’t accept it anymore.

But if he doesn’t accept it, then the two of us will do it separately. "

He analyzed as he spoke: “People in the tribe know that coffee beans can be sold for a dollar a pound, so they are willing to take the initiative to pick them.

As long as the two of us spread the news, the tribesmen will send coffee beans in a steady stream.

The two of us now have [-] US dollars, which means we can purchase [-] kilograms.

When the harvest is full, go to Vanier and sell it to the boss of Wakaba at a price of five dollars per catty.

On the previous trip we made, as long as the price of coffee beans didn’t drop, he would buy it.

In this way, it only takes three days.

The three thousand five hundred dollars for the two of us can be turned into seventeen thousand five hundred dollars.

Next, if the market conditions are good, we can continue to make acquisitions.

With the harvesting efficiency of the tribesmen, they can make a net profit of almost US$[-] a day.

Even if the market is not very good, these seventy-five hundred US dollars will be enough for the two of us to be comfortable for a long time.

Do you want to just say it or not?If not, I will do it alone. "

After listening to Carmen's description, Chris almost drooled.

It seems like you can make a lot of money!
He nodded immediately: "Fine, why not?
I also have an idea. Not only our tribe, we can also accept other nearby tribes.

You can definitely make more this way. "

Unexpectedly, Carmen shook her head: “Absolutely not.

We can only purchase coffee beans within our tribe, and we have to do so in the name of the big boss. "

Chris looked confused: "Why?"

“Because things are rare and valuable.

Yes, if we go to other tribes to buy coffee beans, we can indeed earn more in a short period of time.

But everyone will pick coffee beans when the time comes.

This would make the target too big, but someone would definitely take the initiative to go to Vanier to inquire about information.

Then the fact that the coffee beans can be sold at a high price cannot be concealed.

It is far worse than now, where you only receive a little bit every day, but if you keep flowing, you will earn more. "

Although Chris still didn't understand, he still nodded: "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Zhang Yue's eyes suddenly changed when he looked at Carmen.

He found that this little guy was not simple!

Seeing that he voluntarily gave up the coffee bean business and actually chose to take over the business, this situation is normal for an adult.

But don't forget, this little guy is only ten years old.

When most people reach this age, they just do what adults say and basically don’t think independently.

He can have such opinion and courage, Zhang Yue is sure that if this guy can complete his studies according to his plan, he will definitely be a big shot in the future. (End of chapter)
