Chapter 764: Don't Be Modest

It can only be said that the world is changing rapidly, which makes people cry and laugh.

Some time ago, Yan Fei was worried about how to put his beef on the table of the exchange meeting, but he didn't expect someone to tell him in a blink of an eye that he could come directly to the exchange meeting.

Yan Fei didn't care about a lot of precautions, he just came to see the situation. Not only did he come, but he also brought his daughter-in-law with him, and he was going to let his daughter-in-law practice speaking as well.

The image of the person is still very important, to put it bluntly, some people complain, this is the era of looking at faces.

Mr. Ma Dan was able to find Yan Fei to chat, there is no doubt that it was because of Boss Yan and the beautiful girls around him. The two young men are tall and powerful, and they are quite handsome, but the important thing is that the women are tall, have long legs and good temperament.

In this kind of exchange meeting dominated by middle-aged uncles and aunts, this duo is still quite attractive not because there are no other young people at the exchange meeting, but most of those are service staff, or errands sent by the government. Even if you have some foreign language skills to be able to communicate with guests, it is difficult to let go of most of them.

Originally, it was just an unintentional conversation, but I didn't expect Yan Fei to be able to speak a bird language, and Mr. Ma Dan was interested in Yan Fei at that time.

Yan Fei thought well, although this Mr. Ma Dan is a little older, he is indeed a second-generation official.

Don't think that only domestic delegations will have people sneaking in to take the opportunity to travel, and the same is true for foreign countries. This Mr. Madan, who also has an official position in their city. But to be here, it is the heir in the family business.

Yan Fei is actually reluctant to talk to this Mr. Ma Dan, because Ma Dan's family is engaged in manufacturing, not his target customer. Besides, Yan Fei's goal is not at all that a country like Fa Guo does not have the rating of those countries in the West for its own beef, which is a shortcoming that cannot be made up for a while.

He has positioned himself as targeting those places that are relatively backward, with relaxed requirements for ratings, or those in the neighboring country of Big Goose. It's close, and if you have the chance, you can export some regular beef.

Mark is not a fool, looking at the side chatting with himself, obviously a little absent-minded, looking around at Yan Fei, who was looking for a target, and finally couldn't help it: "Yan Fei, is there something wrong with you? Are you not interested in the topic of our chat at all?"

Just now Mark was pulling Yan Fei to talk about tourist attractions in various countries, how could Yan Fei concentrate. However, he was also a little embarrassed to hear Mark's direct question: "Sorry Mark, maybe after the event is over, I can accompany you to travel around the city for a few days." But now I want to try it and see if I can get some business for my business. ”

"Okay!" Mark was a little disappointed. "We're all young people, and I don't think you should be so utilitarian. Life is so good, we have to enjoy it. ”

"I'm really sorry!" Yan Fei apologized again. "There aren't many opportunities for events like this in our city, but for me as a small rancher, it's a great opportunity to get in touch with the outside world. Really, a rare opportunity that I don't want to give up. ”

Although this has the temperament of a second ancestor, he is quite enthusiastic. Yan Fei felt that it was not interesting for him to walk away like this.

"Then I wish you success. Mark said. "I suggest you contact Mr. Polar Bear, but other than that, I don't like the other countries. ”

"Why?" Yan Fei was not dissatisfied, but was a little curious.

Through chatting, Yan Fei also found out that Mark spoke more directly, he was the kind of person who was more straightforward and generous, and he said that he was not optimistic that he could get the business, but it was not that he had any malicious intent, otherwise he would not have given him advice if he directly said that he didn't want to chat with him.

Since he has an idea, it is not impossible to listen to it himself. Although he has also gone abroad many times, he has flown out, and compared with this person who often travels everywhere, there must be a gap in knowledge.

"Problems with the transportation of beef. Mark was blunt. "From what I've learned, most wealthy people are reluctant to buy beef that has been transported over long distances. If beef wants to be sold to the middle class, then shipping is a big problem. ”

"Then there is no solution?" Yan Fei asked.

"At least I can't think of it. Mark shook his head. "Unless your beef is of particularly high quality and is a premium beef. And as far as I know, there don't seem to be any brands with a higher rating with you. ”

"Wouldn't it work without a rating?" Yan Fei asked. "The beef in my ranch sells very well in Xiangjiang. Xiangjiang, you should know, right? Not only is the price relatively high, but it is also very popular. Although there is no rating, in fact we always sell beef of the highest quality. ”

"Really?" said Mark, curious. "Didn't you say that your ranch is just a small ranch in the countryside? In my mind, it's hard for me to believe that a small ranch can produce high-quality beef ......."

"......" Yan Fei expressed helplessness about Mark's cognition. But you can't blame others, you can only blame yourself, and when you start chatting with Mark, you tell the other party that you have a small ranch in the countryside.

If you don't say that the habits are different, it is really easy to cause misunderstandings, and you really can't be modest when chatting with these foreigners.

"With us, humility is especially important. Yan Fei explained. "In fact, my farm, both in terms of area and number of farms, is the largest in our province. Even in the whole country, the number of breeding is in the front. The area of our province is about a little less than a third of the land area of your country, but it is certainly a lot more than a quarter. ”

"......" Mark was also speechless. "To be honest, it's hard for me to understand this humility of yours. If you own the largest ranch in the province, why do you have to say that you only have a small ranch?"

"Modest, modest. Yan Fei said helplessly. "If I go around telling people that I have the biggest ranch in the province, then it will be understood as showing off, pride. It's our habit and we have to be humble. ”

"Okay!" said Mark, not understanding. "In that case, why don't you go and talk to that Mr. Ivan right away? ”

"No, I changed my mind!" Yan Fei laughed. "Perhaps I could have listened more to you, the traveler, than I had to speak directly to Mr. Ivan. Also, at today's luncheon, there will be a dish made from my beef. I think it would be better for everyone to taste it before I go to someone to talk about business. ”

"I gotta say, you're a good listener!" Mark was obviously very pleased with Yan Fei calling himself a traveler, and even gave a thumbs up. "You say, if I ask for a steak at noon. Can you, the officials of the government who are in charge of receiving them here, agree?"

Yan Fei didn't really want to answer this question.

As the saying goes, these gringos come over, of course, because the host has something to eat. However, there is also an idiom called being at home...... Well, even if there is no such sentence, according to our 'tradition', the reception staff will definitely agree to this not too difficult request.

To be honest, Yan Fei is very unhappy with this 'tradition'.

But at this moment, Mark's proposal is in his best interest. Because if you follow the normal reception, even if you invite Chef Will over, it is estimated that you will not directly serve the steak as a dish.

It seems that what I am doing now is a bit self-respecting!

Forget it, I still don't want to think about it so much, the atmosphere is not formed in a day, and it is not something that can be changed by oneself in a while.

Nodding at Mark, Yan Fei smiled: "Of course I will agree, this request is not an excessive request." We all care about being at home, which means that our guests feel at home when they come here. ”

"Well, I might be able to grab a few people and taste the beef from your ranch. Mark said happily. "It's an honor to be able to help a new young friend. ”

If you want to be my friend, you have to keep trying!

Yan Fei complained in his heart, who let this kid come over to talk at the beginning, and those pair of thief eyes always looked at his daughter-in-law! If he hadn't started to concentrate on chatting with himself later, Boss Yan really didn't mind waiting for this person's plane halfway and letting him disappear mysteriously at a high altitude.

But now that he has helped himself, the two of them have a good chat, and Yan Fei has dispelled this idea.

Taking advantage of Mark's opportunity to win over people, Yan Fei directly found a staff member in the exchange venue and told him that the foreign friend just now wanted to eat beef.

The staff member was stunned: "Then you wait a minute, I'll go and ask for instructions." ”

"Wait a minute. Yan Fei called out to him. "You tell the leader that there is high-end beef ready in the kitchen now, and that Will, the chef at Will's steakhouse, is there. We can fully meet this request, just let Will make the steak and deliver it, no hassle. ”

"......" The staff was stunned again. "You are?"

There were a lot of people who attended the meeting, and it was impossible for the staff to know everyone. This staff member didn't know Yan Fei's identity at all, so before he was going to ask the leader, he wanted to ask Yan Fei's identity if he couldn't ask for instructions indiscriminately, and he would be criticized if he was not careful.

"It doesn't matter who I am, I don't know anything else, I know this anyway. Yan Fei smiled. "When Boss Li here in Bandung purchased beef and invited Chef Will to come, I happened to be there. The beef is the same as the beef in the steakhouse, and the grade is definitely the highest grade. You can ask the leader to ask Boss Li, and what I said must be right. ”

"That'...... Alright!" the staff hesitated, then trotted to the back of the ground to ask for instructions.

Xu Xiaoyan and the others left, and suddenly snickered: "Aren't you making trouble for others? How to entertain must be set, and now it is temporarily changed, how troublesome!"

"What's the trouble?" Yan Fei smiled. "We need to be at home, these gringos like to eat steak, is it wrong for us to give him steak?"

At noon, Yan Fei, as a private entrepreneur, could not sit at the same table with the 'VIPs'. There is a place in the hall, which is arranged for them.

Looking at the cold dishes that came up at the beginning, there was really a plate of cold beef, Yan Fei was a little lucky: it was thanks to knowing Mark's guy, otherwise he would have found Senior Brother Meng through Teacher He, and then ran to find Boss Li. After spending such a big deal, in the end, his own beef appeared at the table in this form to meet the gringos, and he must not die of depression.

Fortunately, there is still a little distress: this beef is a little old, and it wastes the good quality of the beef!

"Little brother, you're welcome, just eat when you need to, move your chopsticks!" A middle-aged boss with a fat head and big ears next to him saw Yan Fei sitting there in a daze, and greeted him warmly. "It's the first time for my little brother to come to this kind of exchange meeting, right? When you go outside, it's no better than at home, no matter whether the business can be negotiated or not, you have to eat well. You're welcome, come on, come on......"

"Thank you, brother!" Yan Fei picked up the chopsticks and thanked the fat-headed and big-eared brother. "It's not the first time, I just thought about something. What does my brother do?"

"Me?" said the fat-headed, big-eared brother smiled humbly. "I didn't have much business, I got a small parts factory to process auto parts for others. This time, I thought that a foreigner would come, and I wanted to buy equipment to try my luck. ”

When Yan Fei heard this person's modesty, he laughed at that time. Now the domestic automobile industry is still relatively backward, can produce car manufacturers are not small, this fat head big ear brother can process auto parts for others, the technology is absolutely unique, the scale of corporate profits are absolutely small.

If Mark heard this, he probably should say: "You have a small accessories factory, you can honestly produce accessories, and you still want to purchase foreign equipment, aren't you afraid of investing too much and losing money?"

After thinking about it, Yan Fei kindly reminded: "When talking to foreigners, don't be so modest." ”

"What's wrong?" said the fat-headed, big-eared brother curiously.

"Let's talk about modesty, let's keep a low profile. They are different, if you want to say that you are a small parts factory, they don't know our situation here, they will think that you are really a small parts factory. Maybe those who have technology and equipment will feel that you are not strong enough and don't want to talk to you more. ”

"Is that so?" The fat-headed and big-eared brother was stunned for a moment, pondered for a moment, and suddenly slapped his thigh. "I'll go, it seems like it's really ...... Hey, my pants ......"

This one holds a cigarette in his left hand and chopsticks in his right hand. The left hand used to slap the thigh almost burned the pants this time.

The one to the left of the big-eared brother laughed: "Old horse, what are you excited about? Your pants are a trivial matter, if you burn my pants, you will have to pay ......."

"Boss Niu, your family has a big business, don't let me pay for a pair of pants, right?" The eldest brother, Lao Ma, raised his foot and stepped on the cigarette butt, and made a joke before explaining. "This little brother reminded me just now, and I just wanted to understand something. Excited for a while, don't be surprised, brother. ”

"What's the problem?" asked Boss Niu.

"You can't be modest. The old horse said after a moment's silence. "No wonder I handed the gringos business cards at that time, saying that I had a small parts factory, and wanted to ask them about the equipment, but they didn't care much about me! I guess they really thought my factory was too small, and they didn't think there was anything to talk about. ”

"Your factory is still small?" Boss Niu looked envious. "For SAIC's enterprises that produce accessories, we are the only one in the private sector in our province. If you're small, then we don't have the face to sit here. ”

"Isn't that modesty!" said the old horse. "This little brother said just now, you can't be too modest when talking to those foreigners. Let's talk bigger, otherwise people don't believe that we have that strength. I also just figured out that this morning's business cards are gray-haired, hey!"

"And what's going on?" A boss on the other side was also attracted by the topic.

"I guess there is. The old horse said. "Anyway, when I think about it now, it really feels like that. They don't know what enterprises are in our province, nor do they know the scale of the enterprises. Let's talk about small things, they might really think so. ”

"Okay, old horse, don't feel it, let the little brother talk about it. Boss Niu said, his gaze turned to Yan Fei. "Look at the little brother is a little faceless, what is your surname?"

"Don't give your surname Yan, Yan Fei. Yan Fei said. "In the morning, I chatted for a while with a guy named Mark from Fortune Country. I said I was going to find some business, and he said that I was too small to find business. In fact, my company is not small, but it was just a kind word, and he took it seriously. Just now Boss Ma said that he opened a small parts factory, so I remembered to remind him. ”

Yan Fei also felt funny when he said that, and said with a smile: "These foreigners are also looking down on people, so we can't be too polite to them." You have to say it big, otherwise they will believe everything they say, and if they say it too little, they will suffer. ”

Everyone just briefly thought about the situation that Yan Fei encountered at that time, and they couldn't help laughing.

In fact, I know in my heart that there are really no small companies that are not the leaders of the industry and cannot enter the list of exchange meetings at all.

"By the way, little brother, you still don't know what your company's name is?" After laughing, Boss Ma remembered and asked.

"Morning Glory is a small cattle farm. Yan Fei continued to be modest. "Playing around. ”

"Yan Fei, your cattle farm is in the Sancha River, Morning Glory Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company?" The conversation of several people had already attracted a full table of people, and a young boss on the opposite side asked when he heard this. "Is it yours on the poster of the Will steakhouse?"

"Yes!" Yan Fei said.

"Haha!" the young boss laughed. "Boss Yan, you are modest, a little too much, right?"

As he spoke, he also explained to the people at the same table around him: "Boss Yan's cattle farm is not small, let's say it is the second, and no one dares to admit the first." ”

"Brother Yan, you're low-key enough!" said Lao Ma at the time. "Is it the morning glory brand beef jerky that is often advertised now, and you have it?"

"Then it is estimated that Boss Yan has nothing to do, right! How can you be the first only one by relying on the profits of beef jerky?" said the young man with a smile just now. "Morning Glory Ranch mainly sells beef, high-end goods, and sells them in Xiangjiang. I heard that a big boss in Xiangjiang has opened several big restaurants in the south, and they are all his goods. The price is expensive, I have to nibble on half-moon steamed buns for a meal......"

"Be modest, you continue to be humble!" Boss Ma raised his hand and pointed at him, laughing. "If we continue to be so modest, it is estimated that we will talk about business with foreigners, and when people hear that you mud-legged poor bastards, they will soon go to ask for food, and they still want to talk about cooperation with us, so let's dream!"

"Hahaha......" everyone at the table laughed.

At this time, a young man at the bottom stood up: "Bosses, you eat slowly, I have to go to the leader to report the situation you just said." Many of our bosses here have no experience dealing with these foreigners, so I think it's necessary to remind you. ”

"Go, go, go!" Boss Ma waved his hand. "Hurry up and say, otherwise our people are too modest, and we won't even have a cooperation in a few days, I'm afraid that your leaders won't be able to go back to hand over ......"

Everyone laughed again when they thought about it......
