Chapter 909:Fundraising
“If you don’t have any questions, sign your name here.”
In the presence of the Prime Minister of Ethiopia and Ambassador Sato, Japan and Ethiopia have signed a number of economic cooperation agreements, including the management of the forest that Sakura coveted.
In Ethiopian law, there is a virtual concept called sterile land, the so-called sterling, which, if explained by Meles Zenawi, the former Prime Minister and developer of the development strategy of Ethiopia, refers to the free and underutilized lands.Under Ethiopian law, only this type of land is accessible to investors.The reason for this concept is mainly due to the national conditions of Ethiopia.Ethiopia is the second most populous country on the African continent.
Because the highland region in the middle of the country is concentrated, the low-lying administrative regions in the east and west have become the main source of ungovers.In these areas, because it is mainly uncultivated wetlands and primary forests, the price of land is very low.Sakura was granted the right to develop 1,000 hectares of original forest for 99 years, which, if converted, was equivalent to $30 per hectare of land per year, which can really be said to be the price of cabbage.
When Sakura picked up her pen and happily signed her name on the contract, with the applause of the scene, she finally took ownership of the forest for 99 years.
When the guests at the scene took a photo with Prime Minister Abiy, Prime Minister Abiy said some words of encouragement to everyone, which generally means that everyone can do their part to prosper Ethiopia's economy and increase employment.Under the recommendation of Ambassador Saito, Sakura and the prime minister, who looked like a literary but in fact military-born, briefly talked a few words.
“I didn’t expect the first foreign investor to invest in the Bench-Maji region to be such a young woman, and a few days ago I heard about you from President Walker!”I look forward to what kind of surprise you can bring to this land!”
“Thank you for your interest, Mr. Prime Minister!If it is convenient, please come to my farm at any time.”
...
When Sakura returned from the Ethiopian parliament to the Japanese economic group’s location in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, it couldn’t wait to tell everyone the good news.Immediately, the contact group of the learning meeting suddenly fell into a congratulatory voice.
1000 hectares is incredible!What a land this is!”
"I don't know, if it's converted into a ping, it's about 300,000 ping."
“300,000 square meters... I can’t imagine how big this is!”"
“...”
Seeing that everyone in the LINE was discussing how big this land was, Tongyuan Zongshi, who had not expressed his opinion for a long time, suddenly took the initiative to ask Sakura:
“Mother, what do you think of the village that was mentioned last time?”
Seeing Mr. Tongyuan asking about the Marushan Village in the LINE, Sakura couldn't help but say with some difficulty:
"Mr. Tongwon, Mr. Yusuo, I have already got the kindness of you two, but I really can't raise enough money to run a greenhouse plantation in Tokyo now!"I’m so sorry for everyone’s heart!”
"Yes, Mr. Tongyuan, Miss Sakura has just taken down the land in Ethiopia, and now the funds in hand can really no longer continue to operate in the country except for some development there."I wonder... whether I have waited a while, until Miss Sakura's business on the Ethiopian side is on the right track, let's think about this side!"
"No, your thinking can't keep up with the changes in the situation, don't you think that the next World Barista Competition is the best opportunity for the boss?"Not to mention whether the boss can win the championship, just being able to enter the final is enough to arouse the widespread attention of the domestic media.By then, it was our best chance to introduce that dream coffee, and once we missed it, the money my mother put in Ethiopia would become unatpensable.At that time, as long as the competitors spend some means, you can find the traces of those coffee trees from the local residents, if so, what can the boss's wife do to prevent the opponent from taking your precious coffee resources?
Seeing these questions raised by Tongyuanzhu, the people of the learning meeting simply did not have a way to think of a way to deal with it.After all, when it comes to the topic of business, everyone is basically not an opponent of the elite bureaucracy of the former Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry.After all, this guy was in the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, but he no longer thinks about the problems facing the industry all the time.
“Then, Mr. Tongyuan, your plan is!”
Seeing that everyone did not speak, Lin Xiu did not have to wonder what kind of way this guy in Tongyuan.
“Of course, it’s time to grow the momentum before all the opponents act.Miss Sakura, now you have some money in your hands, if you can, please try to hire the locals to pick the coffee beans of this season, and to curb the opponent's access to these precious raw beans from the source.Also... with regard to domestic greenhouse plantations, I think you should also include them in your own plans as soon as possible.I learned from the Internet that it would take at least four years for a coffee tree to enter the receiving period, so if you have taken down the land management right, just building your plantation one step ahead would be like leaving your opponent for a long time.”
“But... the money I’m in hand is really overstretched!I also wanted Mr. Yusuo to consult, the cost of running a greenhouse is about 50 million yuan, although the expansion of planting area will reduce the unit cost, but ... I really can not raise so much money in the short term!"
Seeing that Sakura once again raised the issue of funds, Lin Xiu did not hesitate to write Sakura, intending to take a part of his savings to help Sakura.At this time, Tongyuan Zongshi proposed a way that no one could think of for anyone to learn.
“Miss Sakura, have you ever considered solving your own money problem by crowdfunding?”If we raise funds to build a greenhouse plantation by crowdfunding, we don’t have to take the risk of borrowing from the bank, and... if it succeeds, your coffee tree, even if it is not yet ripe, I believe it can bring you a large number of loyal and reliable users.”
