Chapter 1237: The Royal Family
I really couldn't think of anything Abdul would ask for his help, Xiao Ping said to him curiously: "Please speak, as long as I can do it, I will definitely not refuse." ”
"Ha Luha, Mr. Xiao is really a friend!" Abdul gave Xiao Ping a thumbs up, and then said with a smile: "I would be grateful if you could send the saffron earlier." ”
Unexpectedly, Abdul wanted to help himself, that is, to supply saffron in advance, Xiao Ping was also a little surprised. According to the saffron supply contract, the first two kilograms of saffron will be delivered to Abdul in half a month, and then another kilogram of saffron will be supplied to him every three months.
It stands to reason that the brand "Shenju" has not yet opened up the situation in the top ingredient market, even if it is supplied in half a month, it is more than enough time. Xiao Ping really didn't understand why Abdul suddenly wanted the goods in such a hurry.
The saffron planted in the Demon Refining Pot grows vigorously, from only blooming once a year around October, to now blooming at least three times a year. Just last month, Xiao Ping also harvested a batch of saffron, and there are still a lot of stocks now, all of which are placed in the hut in the demon refining pot.
So even if Abdul wants to supply saffron immediately, it will be difficult for Xiao Ping. But Xiao Ping knew very well in his heart that if he agreed to Abdul's request immediately, he would definitely give the other party the illusion that saffron was very easy to obtain and not very precious. This is definitely not a good thing for Xiao Ping, so he didn't immediately agree to Abdul, but just bowed his head and muttered, looking very embarrassed.
When Abdul saw Xiao Ping's expression, his heart couldn't help but sink. Hurriedly asked him nervously: "Mr. Xiao, is there any difficulty?" ”
"That's true!" Xiao Ping frowned and said, "It stands to reason that since it was you, Mr. Abdul, who spoke." I should never have refused, but ......"
"But what?" Abdul asked nervously.
"But this saffron supply to the top market is extremely scarce. There must be no mistakes in every step of the process, from planting to harvesting to drying, otherwise the quality will be compromised. Xiao Ping shook his head slowly and said: "Originally, I promised to supply the goods in half a month, which is already the fastest speed, but now you are asking for early delivery, which is really difficult for me." ”
Xiao Ping's statement was reasonable, and even Abdul nodded approvingly. As a top-tier food supplier, Abdul certainly knows that in many cases, a lot of effort and time must be spent to ensure quality. Xiao Ping's reluctance to deliver in advance in order to ensure quality is a necessary quality for an excellent collaborator.
However, this time the situation is too special. So Abdul had to fight as hard as he could, so he asked Xiao Ping again: "Can't it be faster?" ”
Abdul's repeated requests for early delivery also aroused Xiao Ping's strong interest, and he couldn't help but ask curiously: "Mr. Abdul, why are you so anxious to ask for saffron?" ”
Abdul hesitated for a moment, then said to the waiter in the room, "You guys go out first." ”
The waiters knew what confidential matters the guests were going to talk about, and they left cooperatively. Even Sakurako slowly stood up and said to Xiao Ping and Abdul with a smile, "I'm sorry, I'll go to the bathroom." ”
With that, Sakurako left the room with her handbag. Abdul looked at Sakurako's back with satisfaction. I appreciate Xiao Ping, a knowledgeable female assistant.
After Sakurako deliberately closed the door and only Xiao Ping and himself were left in the room, Abdul lowered his voice and said, "Mr. Xiao, this is a secret. I also treat you as a good friend, which is why I will tell you about this. ”
Seeing that Abdul was so careful, Xiao Ping also nodded solemnly and said, "Don't worry." I'm never going to tell anyone about it. ”
Seeing Xiao Ping's serious expression, Abdul nodded with satisfaction and said, "Do you remember my spice appraiser Aziz?" I told you that back then. Even the royal family would often ask him to identify spices. ”
Hearing this, Xiao Ping had already faintly thought of something, but he still didn't dare to be completely sure. I could only ask Abdul tentatively: "What do you mean......?"
"Aziz recommended your saffron to the court cook, who in turn reported the matter to His Royal Highness." Abdul smiled and said to Xiao Ping: "His Royal Highness the Prince is very satisfied with your saffron, and asks me to provide enough saffron to the palace kitchen as soon as possible, so I am anxious for you to deliver it as soon as possible." ”
Abdul's words made Xiao Ping understand that his guess was not wrong, and he couldn't help but feel his heart beat faster for a while. Being selected by the royal family to become a royal item is a great thing that Xiao Ping didn't expect in advance.
To put it mildly, this incident is very helpful for the company's products to enter the top market. The royal family's requirements for quality of life are well known, and even they have approved the ingredients of the "God Pot" brand, let alone others. And if this matter is bigger, it will be very good for the global image of the entire brand. The royal ingredients of the royal family in the Bay Area are very good publicity stunts wherever they are placed.
Thinking of this, Xiao Ping couldn't help but smile with satisfaction, and said happily to Abdul: "It's really my honor that Saffron can be favored by the royal family, it's really good!" ”
Abdul also nodded: "This is indeed good news for us, and I plan to wait for the royal family to use your saffron for a while before recommending other vegetable products to their court cooks." But the only problem at the moment is that the royal family requires us to deliver the goods as soon as possible, no later than a week, so I am in a hurry to urge you. ”
In fact, after knowing that the royal family wanted to buy crocus, Xiao Ping had already decided to supply Abdul in advance. However, in order to give Abdul an impression that the saffron is indeed very cherished, Xiao Ping still muttered, and after a long while, he slowly spoke: "I don't know how many saffron the royal family needs?" ”
"It's just a seasoning, I think as long as there are a few hundred grams first, the royal family should be satisfied." Abdul said to Xiao Ping expectantly: "This is a very good opportunity for us, I mean we have to seize it no matter what." ”
Xiao Ping nodded in agreement, and then said to Abdul: "You see if this will work, I will find a way to provide 500 grams of saffron within a week, and the rest of the 1,500 grams will be delivered in half a month." ”
This result was already better than Abdul's expectations, and he quickly nodded and said, "Of course there is no problem, but the quality of this safflower ......"
"You don't have to worry about that." Xiao Ping said confidently: "I know very well what this opportunity means to us, and I will never smash my own signboard." The quality of the saffron supplied to you this time will at least not be worse than the last sample! ”
Hearing Xiao Ping's promise, and looking at the expression on his face, Abdul's hanging heart finally relaxed. He didn't say much other nonsense, just nodded to Xiao Ping and said, "Okay, I'm waiting for your good news!" ”
Xiao Ping and Abdul are both big dealers, and since they have already talked about this, it doesn't make much sense to say anything more. The two just looked at each other and smiled, and then Abdul called the waiter into the room and asked them to serve Xiao Ping and himself to enjoy a delicious meal.
This meal can be said to be a joy for the guests and hosts, and Xiao Ping, who was full of food and drink, took Sakura to thank Abdul and then drove back to the hotel. Back in the hotel room, Xiao Ping, who couldn't hold back his excitement, smiled and said to Sakurako: "Abdul told me great news!" ”
Sakurako didn't intend to ask herself what Abdul had said to Xiao Ping after she left. She can be said to have unconditional trust in her sweetheart, and she has always thought that as long as she can know the truth, Xiao Ping will definitely say it. As for other things, the obedient Sakurako will never take the initiative to ask.
Since Xiao Ping took the initiative to bring up this topic, Sakurako would not pretend to avoid it, and said with a slight smile: "Is the saffron we provided to him already very popular?" ”
"Hehe, it's pretty much the same as you said." Xiao Ping picked up Sakura and turned around and said, "The royal family has chosen our crocus as their royal seasoning, and is urging Abdul to supply it as soon as possible!" ”
"Really?!" This good news was really unexpected by Sakurako, she was stunned for a moment before she smiled happily: "This is really good, our product can be selected by the royal family, this is the best advertisement!" ”
Xiao Ping nodded with a smile on his face: "It's not!" I'll call Abdul in a moment and tell him that I'm going to take care of the saffron myself, and that I can't sign a vegetable supply contract with him tomorrow, so you can sign it instead of me. ”
Sakurako knew that Xiao Ping arranged for himself to sign a contract, just to establish his prestige in the top food market. In the future, the name "Tachibana Sakura" will become a popular presence in the top ingredient market. This made Sakurako couldn't help but be moved, and leaned softly on Xiao Ping and whispered, "You are so good to me!" ”
"Hehe, you're my woman, how can I be nice to you?" Xiao Ping took Sakura in his arms and smiled evilly: "Since I am so good to you, should you also give some rewards?" ”
Looking at Xiao Ping's "ill-intentioned" smile, Sakurako of course knew what he wanted, and nodded without hesitation: "As long as you want, I am willing to do anything!" ”
Sakurako's words immediately ignited Xiao Ping's enthusiasm, and he picked up the petite jade man horizontally, gently put it on the soft big bed, and then slowly pressed it up. Sakurako also responded to Xiao Ping passionately, and a heart-warming atmosphere quickly rose in the room......
For most people, the next few days are probably no different from normal days. But for Dubai's top ingredient sellers, there have been several shocking events in the past few days. (To be continued......)
