Chapter 504: Gambling Contract
"Okay, it's good enough!" Xiao Ping applauded Lorenzo lightly in admiration, and then said, "At the food fair in two days, I will also take out some truffles to exhibit." When the time comes, let everyone judge, whether the De Niro family's truffles are the best in the world, or my truffles are better! I believe that with the eyes of the experts at the food fair, there will always be no mistakes in judgment, right?"
As soon as Xiao Ping's words came out, he immediately caused a low exclamation. Those who can be invited to participate in this promotion will naturally know about the upcoming food expo in Langdao.
The expo is hosted by the star of the restaurant scene, Angry Chef Ramsey. He is extremely strict in the selection of exhibitors, and the lucky ones who can participate in the fair are some of the more famous manufacturers or those who have made special achievements in certain fields. In fact, being eligible to participate in this expo means being recognized by Hell's Kitchen magazine, which is not easy in itself.
Originally, everyone else thought that Xiao Ping was just sent by a rival of the De Niro family to deliberately embarrass Lorenzo at the promotion meeting. Although everyone watched it with relish, they didn't take it seriously.
However, now that Xiao Ping actually proposed to compete with the De Niro family at the fair, this can no longer be regarded as a joke. Many people understand that this is a collision between two truffle suppliers, which is likely to have a profound impact on the share of the truffle market in North America and even the world.
There are many people who think like this, so many people look at Xiao Ping with a little less drama and more solemnity.
Xiao Ping needed this kind of atmosphere, and continued in the eyes of everyone: "If the truffles of the De Niro family win, I will publicly apologize to you in the ten largest newspapers in the world. And promised never to set foot in the truffle business. If the De Niro family loses...... What are you going to do?"
Xiao Ping's last sentence was naturally asked by Lorenzo, although it seemed to be quite polite. But in fact, it is equivalent to roasting the other party on the fire.
Xiao Ping had already made such a harsh promise, how could Lorenzo be embarrassed to make an understatement bet? Isn't this the face of the De Niro family?
At this time, Lorenzo has long lost his previous high-spirited appearance. The handsome face was cloudy, and his eyes flickered, and he didn't know what Lu Dao was thinking.
After a long while, Lorenzo finally gritted his teeth and said: "If the De Niro family loses, I will also issue a statement in the top ten newspapers in the world, apologizing for the untruths I said today." Meantime...... The De Niro family has temporarily withdrawn from the truffle market in North America and will not sell a single gram of truffle in North America for three years!"
Just now, Xiao Ping promised to withdraw from the global truffle market forever, while Lorenzo's bet was to give up the North American market for three years. Although the gap between the two seems to be huge, everyone now does not feel that there is anything wrong with it, and instead thinks that the bet between the two sides is fair.
This is naturally the gap in popularity. After all, the De Niro family is a world-renowned supplier of truffles. It can be said that he is famous, and although Xiao Ping is already very famous in a small circle, he can only be described as obscure in the world. So in the eyes of others, it is very normal for Lorenzo to make such a bet.
Seeing that Lorenzo finally agreed to make a bet with himself, Xiao Ping also said magnanimously: "I don't want your De Niro family to withdraw from the North American market, as long as you make a statement in the top ten newspapers in the world and admit that my 'Holy Pot' brand truffles are of higher quality than the truffles of the De Niro family!"
Xiao Ping knew very well that the yield of truffles in the demon refining pot was only that. Even if the De Niro family withdraws from the North American market, the vacated market share will be stolen by other suppliers.
Xiao Ping was not interested in making wedding dresses for others, and it was better for Lorenzo to admit in the newspaper that his truffles were not as good as his own. The result is a very good advertisement. It's much more affordable than driving the De Niro family out of the North American truffle market.
The others didn't know what Xiao Ping was planning, and in their eyes, this Oriental was really magnanimous. Compared with Lorenzo's unashamed speech just now, Xiao Ping's performance immediately won him a lot of favor.
In the whispered admiration of everyone, Lorenzo gritted his teeth and nodded, "Okay." I agree!"
Xiao Ping shook hands with Lorenzo, indicating that the gamble was officially effective, and at the same time smiled and said: "A word is a certainty!"
"I'm not going to lose!" Lorenzo looked ugly. But he still doesn't want to admit defeat.
Xiao Ping didn't mind this, let go of Lorenzo's hand and said, "Won't you know when you win or lose?" You should prepare as soon as possible and prepare the best truffles. ”
Facing Xiao Ping, who looked relaxed. Lorenzo couldn't even say a word. Of course, Xiao Ping didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, so he smiled slightly and turned around and left.
It wasn't until Xiao Ping walked to the door of the exhibition hall that he stopped and turned around and said, "By the way, I have something to tell you, at the fair, my booth is opposite you, so get ready!"
After saying this, Xiao Ping left without looking back. As he closed the door to the exhibition hall, the flash was still flashing behind him, and the reporters wanted to take more photos of the mysterious Oriental. This is the big news that broke out at the promotion meeting, and no one wants to miss it.
Looking at the closed doors of the showroom, Lorenzo had a sense of unreality. This promotion meeting was supposed to be an opportunity for him to show his talents, but he didn't expect it to become Xiao Ping's stage. Xiao Ping was undoubtedly the most eye-catching one at the fair, and if he could really beat the De Niro family at the fair, he would immediately become the focus of attention of truffle sellers in the world.
Lorenzo, who was slowly coming back to his senses, thought of this too, and hastily announced that the promotion was over, and then hurriedly left to contact the rest of the family for help.
At this time, no one paid attention to Lorenzo, and everyone's interest was on Xiao Ping, who suddenly appeared and disappeared. The next day, many newspapers published episodes that took place at the promotion meeting, which of course focused on Xiao Ping and Lorenzo's bet. Under the publicity of the newspapers, the influence of this gambling contract has become more and more great, and it has become one of the most eye-catching events of the fair.
Many insiders are speculating about who the Oriental man who made a bet with the heirs of the De Niro family is, and whether he can come up with a better truffle than the De Niro family at the fair.
One of the protagonists of this bet, Xiao Ping, who took the initiative to challenge the De Niro family, spent two days of quiet days in his room at the Hilton Hotel, recuperating and preparing for the upcoming expo. (To be continued.) )
