"How about you just ride with me today?" He Zhixiang offered enthusiastically.
"No problem!" Li Xiang replied, making an "OK" sign with his hand.
"It's settled then! That's great, my friend!" He Zhixiang was thrilled, feeling like his trip hadn't been a waste after all.
The kapok trees were in bloom and the coffee cherries were turning red on his farm. The harvest was already more than halfway complete, and they had begun the deep processing of this year's new beans. The remaining batches were being picked in an orderly fashion. For the foreseeable future, his inventory would be quite plentiful; running out of stock wouldn't be an issue.
In previous years, He Zhixiang had always sold raw beans directly, which was how most coffee from Yunnan Province was sold. This year, however, he wanted to build his own brand. Always selling raw materials meant that coffee from Yunnan Province wasn't well-known and struggled to make a name for itself.
