Chapter 603: Rich and Willful
Liuxia Village is very lively at this time. It is no exaggeration to say that Liuxia Village has never been so lively. Even during the Chinese New Year, it is far worse than today.
As the initiator of all this, Su Ming did not know all of this. At this time, Su Ming was taking Benjamin and his group up the mountain to investigate the situation of Guanyin Tea.
Oh, master, is this the investment project you told me about? Benjamin came to the mountain at this time, looked at the acres of tea trees and asked.
Benjamin always speaks in an exaggerated tone. Maybe this is also a foreigner's unique style. However, after Benjamin saw the tea tree, he did not express his disdain for this thing or show any disappointment.
For a high-quality investor, he will never judge whether something has investment value based on his first glance. What he sees at first glance is just everyone's subjective impression.
Feelings are the most worthless things in the world. If feelings were useful, then everyone wouldn't have to go to work. It would be great to buy lottery tickets based on feelings every day.
That's right
Su Ming nodded and then said to Benjamin: This is a local tea in Ningcheng City. Its name is Guanyin tea. It has been cultivated in Ningcheng for hundreds of years.
Su Ming had a long chat, roughly telling Benjamin everything he knew about the situation of Guanyin Tea.
It turned out to be tea leaves. I had seen Benjamin staring at several tea trees with great interest before.
In fact, many foreigners also have the habit of drinking tea, but the share of Chinese tea in the foreign market is not very high. Foreigners drink relatively more black tea, which is mostly produced in countries such as Tianzhu.
However, as Benjamin was an enthusiast of Chinese culture, he knew tea. Su Ming was not surprised at all. This was one of the reasons why Su Ming asked Benjamin to cooperate.
Benjamin's eyes were obviously full of interest, and he said: Master, I think this tea investment is still feasible, what are you going to do specifically?
I can't tell you the specific plan at the moment. I only came up with this idea yesterday. Su Ming didn't mean to fool Benjamin and said very honestly.
Su Ming then continued: It's useless to talk about these things now, let your team evaluate them first.
Benjamin nodded, and then spoke English to the people he brought with him. Su Ming didn't understand it well anyway. He should have asked them to evaluate the risks of this project.
Benjamin brought a total of more than twenty people here today, almost all of them foreigners. At the same time, these people are also elites in the Benjamin family or company group.
I'm afraid if any of them are pulled out, they will cause robberies from various large international companies. Naturally, their professionalism in business and investment is needless to say.
Miss, we would like to know the approximate scale of cultivation of this kind of tea near Liuxia Village, and we also want to know the quality of this tea.
After a while, a capable foreign woman with light blue eyes came over and spoke to Xia Qingchan.
Xia Qingchan majored in English at university and was also a high school English teacher. She didn't need Benjamin to translate at all and answered directly in fluent English.
The two of them just asked and answered each other, and communicated for a long time. Xia Qingchan was mainly talking, while the foreign woman kept recording in a notebook.
Then these people began to conduct on-site inspections again, and almost visited several nearby mountains. Even though they were all wearing suits and ties, they did not look like mountain climbers at all. There was always something strange about them. A sense of harmony.
However, they were indeed very professional. They didn't complain at all even though they were wearing leather shoes. Su Ming even noticed a detail. Someone collected some soil from the mountain and probably took it back for analysis.
After spending more than two hours, the capable foreign woman said to Benjamin: Sir,
Assessments we have made regarding this project.
Our opinion is that this is not a good project to invest in because it involves great risks and uncertainties.
The capable woman continued: "But if we can really promote this kind of tea brand, based on China's current annual tea market, the profits will also be very huge."
I have been verbose for a long time but it can be summed up in one sentence: high risk is accompanied by high investment.
There was no need for Benjamin to translate. Xia Qingchan acted as a simultaneous translator for Su Ming. Basically, the foreign woman had just finished speaking, and Su Ming already knew everything she said.
In fact, I don't mind if you invest here. The local leaders have been looking for investment these years, but no capital has come in. The main reason is that the risk is too great.
Xia Qingchan still insisted on her point of view and said: If you two invest here, there is a high possibility that you will lose money.
To put it bluntly, Xia Qingchan didn't care about things like benefiting the people, she was just thinking about Su Ming.
Madam, your view is actually wrong.
Benjamin's words "Master's wife" made Xia Qingchan's pretty face blush slightly, but Benjamin did not notice it and continued: "Master and I still have the same view on this point. This investment is not as bad as you think."
Su Ming couldn't help but nodded at this time. He was quite confident about this. If he really invested in this tea, Su Ming would be very confident to develop this Guanyin Tea with the help of his own connections.
Anyway, the evaluation has been completed. Please think carefully about whether you want to invest or not. Just give me a reply in a few days. Su Ming said to Benjamin.
Su Ming has made up his mind to develop this Guanyin tea and let Ningcheng's tea spread all over the country and even the world. If Benjamin feels that it is risky and does not invest, Su Ming can find a woman.
Anyway, there wasn't much else, and Su Ming knew quite a few rich friends.
Don't think about it, master, you are just being polite to me by saying this.
Unexpectedly, Benjamin said directly: I have decided to invest in this project and have a big fight with the master.
I don't care about whether it's a loss or not. My team just estimated that it will require a capital investment of about four to five billion.
Benjamin continued: If the project does not progress smoothly, at most it will only lose a few hundred million, which is nothing.
Su Ming and Xia Qingchan were speechless at the same time. Sure enough, rich people gave people a different feeling when they spoke. Benjamin said it like this. What else could Xia Qingchan say? Who calls people rich and willful?
