It does take time to prepare thousands of tons of seeds, and Wang Zhen knows this very well. After listening to Wales's words, he didn't object, but just smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll wait patiently for a few more days." ”

"Kangshan Company will provide you with this batch of seeds at the best price this time, and Mr. Wang will make a fortune by shipping the seeds through China. Wales smiled and asked Wang Zhen: "I'll confirm later, don't you really need us to help you contact the shipping company to ship the goods to China?"

"No, no. Wang Zhen hurriedly refused: "I have already arranged the boat, so I won't trouble you!"

Wang Zhen insisted that he was responsible for transportation, and naturally he had his reasons. He got the hold of a domestic bulk carrier through his family connections, and the shipowner did not dare to charge him Wang Dashao's money, so he saved the freight. In the customs of the city where the cargo ship docked, there were many old subordinates of Grandpa Wang Zhen, so that a lot of tariffs could be saved.

These two sums of money saved are equivalent to doubling Wang Zhen's profits. With such a good thing, how could he ask Kangshan Company to help him arrange transportation?

Seeing that Wang Zhen insisted on being responsible for transportation, Wales was not reluctant. For him, this will also save a lot of trouble, and he can only load the goods on the ship, and he can collect money to complete the transaction, so why not?

Thinking of this, Wales became happy again, raised his wine glass with a smile and said to Wang Zhen: "Come, Mr. Wang, for our happy cooperation, cheers!"

"Cheers!" Wang Zhen also raised his glass, his face full of satisfied smiles.

In the days that followed, Wang Zhen remained complacent about the success of his treacherous scheme. Xiao Ping went to the Ministry of Agriculture every day to urge the other party to come up with the test report as soon as possible.

Deliberately pushed by Wales. In the past few days, many media have been overwhelmingly reporting about the alleged illegal cultivation of genetically modified plants at Lilian's Ranch.

Most of the media is discussing how Lillian's ranch and its owners will be punished. and how much impact this incident will have on the "Holy Pot" trademark. Several media outlets have even taken on the role of legal advisers, offering advice to consumers who have previously purchased the Holy Pot brand's ingredients. Tell everyone how to claim compensation from Lillian Ranch.

It's just that for some unknown reasons, most of the media have consciously or unintentionally ignored a key fact - the results of the current investigation by the Ministry of Agriculture on Lilian Ranch have not yet come out, which means that there is no conclusive evidence that Lilian Ranch illegally cultivated genetically modified plants, and all the current discussions are just based on a completely shady anonymous report.

Most Americans have an almost superstitious trust in media coverage, and after being misled by these media outlets, intentionally or unintentionally, public opinion across North America has turned against the Lillian Ranch and Holy Pot brands.

In the past, people were proud to buy and taste the holy pot products, but now they are afraid to avoid this brand of ingredients. Originally, it was the main product of the major high-end hotel restaurants. It's all gone from the menu, and even a few major supermarket chains don't have a lot to offer. All in all, the Holy Pot brand ingredients have completely disappeared from the North American market.

There are really many consumers who have listened to the media's pleading and began to find a lawyer to sue Lilian Ranch. Some even intend to file a class action lawsuit against Lilian Ranch for huge damages.

To make matters worse, the turmoil in the North American market is even beginning to ripple through markets elsewhere in the world. From Australia to Japan, and most importantly to Europe, sales of all Holy Pot merchandise have declined significantly.

The Holy Pot brand was so affected that Pierre and Sakurako were so anxious that they called Xiao Ping several times a day. Ask the USDA if the test report is out. Both told Xiao Ping that if this continued, the blow to the company would be devastating.

If it really gives consumers the impression that the Xianhu (Shengju) brand sells genetically modified products without approval. Not only will the company's reputation be completely ruined, but it will also face huge compensation. In that case, not to mention that the company's products cannot be sold, there will be a danger of bankruptcy. And Xiao Ping himself will also be guilty of violating the relevant laws of many countries. There is no escaping the fate of imprisonment.

Although Xiao Ping firmly believes that the USDA's test report will definitely prove it. Lilian Ranch and herself are innocent. However, the problem now is that the test report has not yet come out, so he can only be in a hurry. I can only comfort Sakurako and Pierre, and ask them to have confidence in themselves.

Xiao Ping told Pierre and Sakurako that as long as the test report came out, he would tell them the results as soon as possible. What they need to do now is to stabilize people's minds and explain to customers to minimize temporary losses. At the same time, it is necessary to maintain the normal operation of the company, and as soon as this turmoil passes, it will be able to supply customers in large quantities immediately.

Speaking of which, Sakurako and Pierre have known Xiao Ping for a long time, and both of them trust him very much, believing that Xiao Ping will never run the company by illegal means. At a time when the company is in turmoil, both of them said that they would unreservedly support Xiao Ping and tide over this difficulty together.

Sakurako and Pierre's statements also made Xiao Ping very satisfied. He told Pierre that as long as he could get through the current hurdle, he would reward him with 5% of the dry shares of the French branch. With such a substantial reward, the French also became more energetic, and swore on the other end of the phone that he would definitely be optimistic about the European market, so that Xiao Ping did not have to worry.

As for Sakurako, of course, you can't use material rewards, otherwise it will be too outward. Xiao Ping just told her that after dealing with the affairs of the United States, he would take her to the Gulf countries to develop the top ingredients there. Sakurako, who knew the news, was so happy that she regarded this business trip as a honeymoon trip with her sweetheart. Inspired by this good news, Sakurako was also full of confidence in the future, and was full of fighting spirit to tell Xiao Ping not to worry about the Japanese market, and then hung up the phone.

Although Xiao Ping temporarily appeased Sakurako and Pierre, he was actually very anxious. After all, the entire North American market is now at a standstill, and there are big losses every day that passes, and there is nothing more worrying for the owner of a business.

In order to end the current situation as soon as possible, Xiao Ping reported to the hall of the Ministry of Agriculture on time every day as soon as he went to work, and almost constantly urged the officials on the other side to take out the test report as soon as possible.

After this period of time, the security guards at the entrance of the agricultural department all knew Xiao Ping, and the few clerks inside had a headache when they saw Xiao Ping. This guy is so annoying, asking the same question every day during work hours, it can definitely annoy people to death.

Ten days after Lilian's Ranch was declared a biologically contaminated area by the Ministry of Agriculture, the incident continues to ferment in media coverage. Over time, however, the impulsive mood of the public faded and more questions began to arise. Many people have pointed out that in fact, the Ministry of Agriculture does not have conclusive evidence that Lilian Ranch illegally cultivates genetically modified plants. In this case, they declared the entire ranch a biologically contaminated area, causing panic in the entire region and all consumers of "Holy Pot" brand products.

The USDA's approach is really irresponsible, and it is clearly suspected of over-enforcement. Some legal experts have even suggested that the Ministry of Agriculture's actions have already violated the law, especially since their actions have had a huge negative impact on Lilian Ranch and the "Holy Pot" brand, and Xiao Ping can file a lawsuit against the Ministry of Agriculture for compensation.

While many people are paying more and more attention to this matter, Xiao Ping came to the USDA on time as a few days ago, urging them to come up with the test report as soon as possible.

But today, Xiao Ping just walked into the building of the Ministry of Agriculture when he received a call from Jessica. Jessica's voice was very excited, and as soon as the phone was connected, she couldn't wait to say to Xiao Ping: "Honey, I have a harvest!"

This news also lifted Xiao Ping's spirits, and he hurriedly asked Jessica, "What's the news?"

Jessica whispered, "My friends from the Department of Agriculture found out that it was an anonymous phone call that reported a problem with Lillian's ranch. ”

Xiao Ping frowned and said, "It's just an anonymous phone call, is it worth their big fight?"

"Don't worry, I have more exciting news. Jessica said with a slight smugness: "Although the whistleblower is anonymous, the Ministry of Agriculture's computer automatically records the phone number. I checked it, and this phone number belongs to Kangshan Biotechnology Company. ”

"Kangshan Biotechnology Company?" Xiao Ping thought for a while and said, "I seem to have a little impression, by the way, this company also seems to deal in seeds for various crops. And they have been in contact with the fairy pot company, trying to buy the company and buy our patented invention, but I have rejected it!"

Jessica said on the other end of the phone: "So the matter is very clear, this matter is the troublemaker of Kangshan Biotechnology Company." It must be that their plan to acquire the Xianhu Company has been blocked, so they made a false report to the Ministry of Agriculture in an attempt to ruin our reputation!"

"You do have a point. Xiao Ping muttered: "But I think Kangshan Biotechnology Company must have other arrangements, and I am sure that this baseless anonymous report can really make a huge difference, otherwise it would be meaningless for them to do so." ”

Jessica smiled and said, "You're so smart that you thought of this right away. I checked with a friend and found something very interesting. Remember Davis and Johnson who came to Lillian's ranch to check on them, both of them have a close connection with Cornhill Biotech!" (To be continued......)
