208 A glimmer of life?
(Thanks to friends Mani and Nima for their encouragement)
"Hey, what the hell are you doing? Aren't you going to give other people a chance to judge?"
Lao Liu was still staring at the coffee beans carefully, and Crane stood up and shouted in the waiting area.
"Mr. Simon, are you satisfied with this result?" the staff member asked as he looked at Lao Liu.
Lao Liu's face sank, "I don't have anything to say now, the quality of these coffee beans is really poor." Since I haven't even passed the preliminaries now, can I take these coffee beans with me?"
The staff nodded, "Actually, we will leave a sample for every game, but this is also your right." Mr. Simon, I'm just speaking for the organizers and hope that something like this won't happen again. ”
"Maybe you don't know much about what we do, and if you do it next year, you're probably going to be persona non grata. That way, even if the quality of your coffee beans improves, it will be difficult to get an invitation to participate in the competition. ”
Liu Wenrui nodded with a bitter face, and now he felt that his head was a mess. It feels terrible to know that you've been calculated, but you don't know what the problem is.
But no one was upset for Liu Wenrui, and there was Crane who took the lead in coaxing. When Liu Wenrui walked back, these people gave warm applause.
This is applauding, and Liu Wenrui can only bear it.
Because he is a foreigner, he has now expressed doubts about this preliminaries. In everyone's hearts, this is a person who is too hypocritical and troublesome.
Every year's competition is very important and sacred for all coffee growers. How can people like Liu Wenrui be allowed to question and make trouble?
"Simon, how's it going?" Daisy greeted Miao Miao with her arms in her arms.
Lao Liu shook his head with a dry face, "I was calculated, but I don't know what the problem is." ”
"Simon, how's it going? Did you get a good result?" Crane came over at this time.
"Crane, I know, you must have been behind the trouble. Liu Wenrui stared at Crane and said.
Crane shrugged his shoulders, "Mr. Simon, you know, if you insist on saying that, I can sue you." This is the greatest insult to my personality and your personal attack on me. ”
"Crane, you're definitely proud right now, but I don't care. Liu Wenrui's expression returned to calm.
"Although I may encounter some problems in selling my coffee beans, I firmly believe that good coffee beans will be able to buy them at a price that matches them, and find the most suitable buyer for them. ”
"All the means of doing things can only play a temporary role. If you know Chinese culture, you should have heard of a saying called 'gold always shines'. ”
"I know exactly what the quality of my beans is. Even if you don't admit it, you still know what you've done. ”
"Crane, the last time you did something small to my friends, I was furious. Now you've used such a trick again, which makes me even more atmospheric. ”
"You have achieved your goal, so to speak, but you have also succeeded in provoking me. I promise you that you will be my unforgivable enemy for the rest of my life, not just because of commercial competition or the sale of that farm. ”
"Now I'm thinking about whether to contact your company headquarters. Use the sale of the farm as a condition and let your company fire you. Crane, cherish the life that is still very good. It will be difficult to enjoy this kind of life in the future. ”
After Liu Wenrui finished speaking, he nodded at Daisy and walked out directly.
There's no need to stay here anymore, it's become a laughing stock, and tomorrow it will definitely be famous again.
Crane's face was not very good-looking, and Liu Wenrui's words just now really scared him. I'm afraid that this product will be very willful to mention this only one requirement to the company, according to the company's principle of doing things, I will definitely be fired.
Will Liu Wenrui do this? Of course not, it's just to support the scene and say a few cruel words.
Now the root system of the little tree has expanded so much, even if you give him gold and silver, he can't sell this farm.
It's just that he is really angry in his heart now, even if he says it very hard, the current Crane has blocked his way of coffee taking the boutique route.
Although it is said that if you want to sell it, you can definitely sell it, but the price will definitely be suppressed very low. There is no impermeable wall, even if they make them a drink and taste it themselves, it is obviously good, they will deliberately suppress the price.
I am still too impulsive, if I don't apply for reconsideration, maybe this matter will take a turn for the better.
"Boss ......"
Seeing Liu Wenrui and them coming out, Kipke Ruixing, who was waiting outside to take care of the little monkey baby and Pingtou brother, hurriedly ran over, but couldn't say anything anymore.
The expression on Liu Wenrui's face was obviously not very happy.
"It was calculated, and the coffee beans were manipulated. Damn, that's fucked up. Lao Liu burst into a foul mouth.
Kipkerey was taken aback, it was the first time that Liu Wenrui had encountered such an angry situation.
"Simon, I think we can still think of a solution. Daisy also persuaded on the side.
Liu Wenrui nodded, "I just feel that I am a little uncomfortable to be calculated." It's okay, we'll be able to handle this. ”
It's useless to be anxious now, even if you beat Crane up now, it won't solve any problems.
"Boss, in fact, I think there is still a way, we can try it. If you succeed, you will not be able to gain any less attention than in this competition. Kipkori on the side thought for a moment and said.
Liu Wenrui glanced at Kipkori in some surprise, "Tell me, are there any other coffee competitions?"
"Boss, I also heard someone talk about it in the parking lot outside. Kipkori said.
"It seems that it won't be long before there will be a barista competition, and the method chosen is also a live pour-over coffee competition. If we can sponsor a barista to use our coffee beans and achieve a good ranking, then our coffee beans can also gain a lot of fame. ”
"It's just that I don't know much about it, it's just that I'm bored outside, and then I get together with other people and talk to them, and I hear them talk about it. ”
"Are you talking about the WBCR? World Pour-over Coffee Competition? If so, you can really try it. Daisy said excitedly.
"Daisy, have you heard of this competition?" asked Liu Wenrui with some surprise.
Daisy nodded, "It's held every year, and the best pour-over baristas in the world are selected. I was still in the United States the year before last, and I went to watch it once. This contest is definitely a festival for pour-over coffee lovers, Simon, let's do it. ”
Lao Liu grinned, "Daisy, although this is also a good idea, I don't know these baristas who participated in the competition." And since they're going to compete, they're probably going to have their own partners, right? Or maybe they're going to buy good quality coffee beans for the competition. ”
"Simon, you're wrong about that. It doesn't matter if you recognize them or not, we can try to reach out to them. Don't worry, I'll be in touch with my friends at home to see if they know anyone. Daisy said with a smile.
"It's not a good idea to run into a problem and negate the result without even trying. Simon, your coffee beans are so good, there will definitely be people who understand and choose your coffee beans. ”
Seeing this girl smiling and cheering herself up, Lao Liu's heart was a lot more relaxed.
yes, Daisy was right. Contact the baristas yourself and send you the coffee beans you roasted yourself. As long as they have the slightest interest and choose to taste it, they are confident that they will be able to take him down.
At that time, no one could do anything to their coffee beans, which was a ray of life for themselves.
"Kipkori, very good, this message you provided is good, you can drink more tonight. Lao Liu said with a smile.
"Daisy, this matter needs to be asked of you as well. After all, I don't have any contacts in this area, and even the coffee industry, which I have just come into contact with this year. ”
"Simon, we are friends and no problem. Daisy said happily.
It seems that I am also very happy to be able to help Liu Wenrui.
"Okay, the next task for us is to go to the supermarket to shop. Daisy, do you still have a holiday? Come with me to the farm for two days?" asked Liu Wenrui.
Daisy shook her head regretfully, "There are no holidays in the near future, and I have to ask others for help today, so I have time to come and watch your game." ”
"But it doesn't matter, the next time I have a vacation, I'll go to your farm to play. Is that corn almost ripe too? I'm going to eat well-cooked corn. ”
"No problem, I'll cook it myself and send it to you when it's ripe. As long as you haven't left Kenya, I'll send you wherever you are. Liu Wenrui said with a smile.
"Haha, Simon, you're really amazing. Let's go, I'm going to buy delicious fruits for Miao Miao. Daisy said happily.
Happiness is contagious, Daisy's happy appearance made Lao Liu put today's unhappiness aside for the time being. Directly sat in the driver's seat and drove the car to the supermarket.
"It's all arranged, right?"
Watching them leave, Crane walked out of the gate and asked the people around him.
"It's all arranged. But do we really need to put so much effort into targeting him?" asked the man next to him softly.
Crane glanced at him, "You certainly haven't seen a real cat-and-mouse scene, it's funny." The poor mouse always thinks that there is still a way to live, but in fact, the final result is that it is eaten by the cat. ”
With that, a big smile appeared on Crane's face.
He is a cat, Liu Wenrui is a mouse, he wants to play with this mouse well, and finally eat him.
