Chapter 180 It’s near the north!
Xian Yaowen was not good at speaking Hakka, so he asked Narcissus to act as an interpreter and listened for a while. It turned out that Tang Jishan and the young man went to London to participate in the first food expo held this year. They brought a tea with an unknown name or brand called "Beipu Tea". Expo, hoping to win the gold medal in one fell swoop and create a high-end tea brand.

The reason for this is that Taiwanese tea has entered the tea earth era from the tea golden age when tea leaves can be used as gold. Due to the recovery of production in the Nanyang region, market demand is stable, and the tea market has returned to a buyer's market. As a major consumer of black tea, the UK has Colonial tea merchants no longer needed to rely on Taiwanese tea for their supplies;
In addition, during the Tea Golden Age, Taiwanese tea merchants were selling substandard products, and the sales of Taiwanese tea plummeted. If you want to export tea, you can only win by price. In terms of the BOP grade of the world's largest black tea, Indian tea can be sold for 1 pound. 80 cents to 1 US dollar, slightly inferior Javanese tea can be sold for 50 cents, and Taiwanese tea can only be sold for 20 cents to 30 cents, and there is still good room for decline.

In addition, because making tea in the Tea Golden Age was like picking up money, it naturally attracted a lot of funds into the tea field. While the output of tea leaves did not increase significantly, tea factories increased a lot, and most tea factories were rushed out. In the evening market, the profit earned is not enough to cover the investment cost. In order to recoup their investment, they don't care whether the Taiwan tea market will do poorly. As long as there is a slight profit, they dare to cut prices indefinitely to seize market share.

Xian Yaowen was listening to tea leaves in his ears, but he was already calculating Taiwan's external exports in his mind. After summing up for a while, his thoughts went to regaining Taiwan and counterattacking the mainland. If no matter what it takes, regaining Taiwan is not a big problem, but the opportunity is a little loose. fleeting.

As far as he knows, life is not easy for people from other provinces in Taiwan now. They are not hungry, but they do not have the conditions to eat openly. Later generations rumored that "the 300 million taels of gold that played a major role in Taiwan's rise" is actually equivalent to just over 1 million US dollars. , this money sounds like a lot, but it is not enough to support the army, let alone blood transfusion to build Taiwan.

The arrival of the tea era means that the significance of exporting tea to earn foreign exchange for the government is no longer what it used to be. The tea business is not easy to do, so it is time to relax and return to etiquette. Wipe the oil stains from the corners of your mouth and behave like a gentleman. , return the bulk of the profits to the tea merchants.

Now that it is the tea merchants' turn to have the final say in Taiwan's tea, the word politics in front of the economy has been downplayed, and there is a bit of a market economy. In a market economy, naturally the market has the final say. Losing the British market, Taiwan's tea merchants We have to find new markets. Where to find them?
The UK can't do it, which means that the whole of Europe can't do it, and North America can't do it. Bad tea can be self-sufficient, but good tea doesn't recognize Taiwanese tea. South Americans drink yerba mate, which is not the same channel. Neither can the Arab region, which is controlled by the British. It is impossible for me to give up the market to others. Since Taiwanese tea cannot be sold to the UK, it is certainly impossible to sell it to Arabia.

After much deliberation, the breakthrough direction of Taiwan tea can only be in Africa, and it is North Africa, which has a tradition of drinking green tea. Taiwan tea merchants will probably set their sights on North Africa soon.

When it comes to several countries in North Africa, the most eye-catching highlight in the entire history of world trade is the letter of credit fraud. When it comes to North Africa, many foreign trade businessmen will tell the history of being defrauded with tears in their eyes and runny noses.

Although this is history that has not yet happened, it does not mean that history cannot be advanced. Playing in North Africa, giving Taiwanese tea merchants a fatal blow, kicking Taiwanese tea off the international stage, and shrinking to Taiwan Island, you can get a certificate of nomination. , and also removes obstacles for the export of mainland green tea, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

From a business point of view, Xian Yaowen has always believed that the mainland is a fertile land. Not to mention the distant population and markets, let’s just say that the crops grown in the land that has not been overly eroded by chemical fertilizers and pesticides are the most exquisite commodities. For the dual purpose of earning price differences and establishing good relations, it is very necessary for him to act as a second-tier dealer for mainland agricultural products and transport foreign exchange in addition to rubles to the mainland.

As long as he does not win by quantity and takes a high-end route, he will not touch the nerves of the agricultural consortium, and his agricultural product export business will not have much resistance. The ideological struggle will be a trivial matter. Reference book for teaching military history at West Point Military Academy "Sun Tzu's Art of War" says that when an army is surrounded, it must be blocked, and a blockade must be a blockade. Some places still have to leave a gap. If you push too hard, it is easy to force out the rebellious mentality of "I am not having a good time, so I will drag you into the water with me." On the contrary, it will not beautiful. Xian Yaowen's thoughts lingered on the export of agricultural products for a while, and then he quickly went to Taiwan, floating on the Jade Mountain, scanning the entire territory of Taiwan, his greedy eyes sweeping over every inch of land, wondering where there was an opportunity to scrape out a little oil and water.

At the same time, the memories and cognitions about Taiwan in my mind were mobilized crazily, thinking about how to take a piece of Taiwan's economic development in the context of US aid.

Taiwan is a very suitable soil for financial groups to thrive. It is a good idea to establish a branch of the Xian Family Financial Group in Taiwan. Well, he suddenly found that he loved Taiwan very much and wanted to find a Taiwanese concubine to be a glorious Taiwanese son-in-law.

"One Night in Kenting, I left a lot of love... I love Taiwanese girls, Taiwanese girls love me, Kurosawa Chiling is nothing to me..."

Thinking that he might need another concubine's budget, Xian Yaowen couldn't help but hum a sad song in his heart.

Humming the song did not delay the spread of his greedy eyes. Wandering in Liugongzhen, Taipei, among the trickling water irrigating farmland, he saw Nanjing East Road, and saw children on the road wearing clothes with "22 kg clothing" and "U.S. A vest with the words "People Donate" and a handshake pattern of a blue sky and a white sun and the Stars and Stripes printed on the buttocks of the shorts.

In the blink of an eye, the children grew up. They were still walking in suits and ties on Sections 2, 3 and 4 of Nanjing East Road, known as Taipei's Wall Street. They walked in a hurry and muttered, "Go north, silver has fallen again."

Turning back the time to the present, his eyes were completely white, like snow but not snow, like jade but not jade. After flushing it with water, he discovered that it was cataracts. It turned out that he did not have a clear understanding of Taiwan at the moment. He added a trip around Taiwan to his schedule for next year, intending to experience the local culture and customs up close, as well as observe the retired life of senior officials whom he could not touch.

If possible, his business in Taiwan still requires the executives to use their remaining energy, not only to invest in retirement funds, but also to hold some retreat positions. Like fireflies, they can use the influence of the connections they have accumulated for most of their lives in a short period of time in the last stage of their lives. Released within a certain period of time, it must be dazzling and illuminate the current representative Xian Yaowen.
