Chapter 713 Lake sand sold to Kinshasa
It turned out to be the neighbor Brad.

Seeing that it was Brad, Yang Tianlong quickly opened the door.

"Hey, old man, nice to meet you." Yang Tianlong greeted Brad with a smile.

Brad was taken aback, and even patted his chest with lingering fear, "Huaxialong, it's you."

"Yes." Yang Tianlong smiled lightly.

"There have been thieves in the neighborhood recently. When I saw the lights in your house turned on, I thought it was a thief." Brad felt a little embarrassed, and he even hid the baseball bat in his hand behind his back.

"Old man, thank you." Yang Tianlong was inexplicably moved by this point.

"Let's be polite, as long as you are at home." Brad patted Yang Tianlong's shoulder lightly.

"Old man, come in and sit down, just to taste the tea from our Huaxia Kingdom." I have to say, the taste of the tea is too fragrant, and the steam from the tea leaves floated directly into Yang Tianlong's nose from the living room , so that after he smelled it, he couldn't help but feel refreshed.

"Is it the smell of tea?" When Brad said this, his eyes couldn't help but light up.

"Yes, Huaxia Tea." Yang Tianlong smiled.

"I like it." Brad said with a hey smile.

"Come in, buddy." Yang Tianlong greeted Brad warmly.

……

"Brad, let me introduce you. This is my good brother, Mr. Liu Shengli. You can call him Shengli Liu." Yang Tianlong pointed to Liu Shengli and introduced.

"Hello, Shengli Liu, it's a pleasure to meet you." Brad was very talkative, he quickly extended his hand and greeted Liu Shengli with enthusiasm.

"This is my neighbor, Mr. Brad, the owner of Southampton Freight Company." Yang Tianlong quickly introduced.

"Hi, nice to meet you." Liu Shengli said in Chinese.

In fact, the language between the two of them does not understand each other, but just from the extremely enthusiastic expression and exaggerated movements, it can be seen that they have a good impression of each other.

"Come on, old man, try this tea." Yang Tianlong said while handing Brad a cup of brewed tea.

Just like Wilmots drinking Huaxia tea for the first time, Brad also looked surprised. There is basically no green tea in Europe, and they drink more black tea.

Brad took a sip with a sincere expression on his face, his brows that were slightly frowned before suddenly relaxed, and the expression on his face became extremely excited. He couldn't help giving a thumbs up, repeatedly praising the taste of the tea, it was the best drink he had ever had.

"Is there one?" Yang Tianlong joked with a smile.

Brad shook his head, "There isn't one, it's the best and the best."

Brad's words sounded exaggerated, but his expression was not exaggerated at all.

"This tea is produced in Zhejiang Province, the hometown of Shengli Liu. In ancient times, it was the emperor's royal tea." Yang Tianlong introduced.

Brad was dumbfounded when he heard this, he didn't expect this seemingly simple tea to have so much culture.

"Chinese culture is extensive and profound, I like it." Brad gave a thumbs up again.

Although Liu Shengli's education level is not high, he still has a little understanding of some simple words. Seeing that Brad has a very high evaluation of tea, he also has a good impression of Brad very quickly.

Old Liu's character is like this, if he likes you, he will call you brother and brother soon, if he has no interest in you at all, then he will absolutely turn a blind eye to you like air.

"Some of our machinery used to be transported through the Congo River by cargo ship, but after some freight companies were very unreliable, we did not cross the Congo River. However, since my brother is also the owner of the freight company, we will continue to We can cooperate." Liu Shengli spoke eloquently for a long time, and after finishing speaking, he entrusted Yang Tianlong to translate the words.

Yang Tianlong translated it to Brad truthfully, and also briefly introduced Liu Shengli's identity.

Seeing that this middle-aged man turned out to be the boss of a construction company in China, Brad was overwhelmed with flattery, and quickly said that he must treat them well, and at the same time he also said that he would give Liu Shengli the best discount.

As the boss of a state-owned enterprise, Liu Shengli would naturally not be interested in these discounts. In terms of Liu Shengli's personality, as long as he likes you, any money is a small problem.

The two sides chatted more and more speculatively, and Brad also told them some business opportunities in the Congo River.

Suddenly, Yang Tianlong thought of the lake sand he had in Lake Albert. In fact, the Congo River also flows through the Bunia area. If the lake sand can be transported from the Bunia area to Kinshasa, it might be An excellent sales channel.

Immediately, he told Brad his idea.

When Brad heard that Yang Tianlong had the idea of ​​transporting lake sand, he couldn't help but quickly took out his mobile phone and clicked it. After a while, he looked at the mobile phone and said to Yang Tianlong.

"Huaxialong, currently the maximum tonnage of cargo ships that can pass on the Congo River is 8000 tons. In other words, you can transport 7000 tons of lake sand within a safe range. Currently, the price of a ton of lake sand in the Kinshasa area is about 15 dollars. , the value of a ship is about 10 US dollars, regardless of the cost of 3 US dollars, each ship can earn 7 US dollars, but this is only a one-way trip, if there is no load from Kinshasa to Bunia, then you have to pay After deducting the cost of 4 US dollars, it means that the profit is only 3 US dollars."

"3 US dollars?" Yang Tianlong frowned. Judging from Brad's calculation just now, this should be a conservative estimate. As a businessman, he would naturally not allow the cargo ship from Kinshasa to Bunia to be empty. , so there must be nothing wrong with his conservative profit estimate of $5.

In the early stage, the lake sand market in Uganda has been basically in a conservative state, and Li Tao and the others are still tirelessly cleaning up the lake sand in Lake Albert. According to current estimates, there are at least 120 million tons of lake sand that have not been sold , once the 120 million tons of lake sand are sold, he will earn at least US$800 million.

If he doesn't do this kind of thing, then he is simply a bastard.

"As soon as I find a market, let's do it right away." Yang Tianlong said seriously.

Brad is naturally also very happy, this is a win-win result.

He praised repeatedly, saying that he could provide 10 cargo ships of 8000 tons by then.

"Brother, give me 20 tons of lake sand." Liu Shengli suddenly made a big deal.
