Chapter 1217: Three Questions

Hearing Xiao Ping's answer, the reporters at the scene were immediately in an uproar.

As long as you have a little understanding of the USDA's regulations, you can see that the inspection of Lillian's ranch this time is much more than normal. It is precisely because of this action of the Ministry of Agriculture that it has caused great damage to the reputation of the Holy Pot brand and Lilian Ranch, not to mention the economic losses in the recent past.

In fact, after hearing the conclusions of the report, many reporters thought that it was normal for Xiao Ping to attack the Ministry of Agriculture, and even directly sue for compensation. Litigation is common in the United States, and it is not uncommon not only for companies to fight lawsuits between companies, but also between companies and government agencies.

However, at the moment, Xiao Ping told everyone with a smile that he had no opinion on the approach of the Ministry of Agriculture, which was completely unexpected by everyone. What are you kidding, the brand of the Holy Pot was almost completely destroyed by the excessive reaction of the Ministry of Agriculture, Xiao Ping actually has no opinion on this at all, is his brain broken?

Only Sakowell next to him secretly breathed a sigh of relief, Xiao Ping could say this in public, of course, it means that he is willing to abide by the agreement reached with the Ministry of Agriculture. In this way, the Ministry of Agriculture has much less trouble, and the scandal has finally been covered up.

In the face of so many reporters with unbelievable expressions on their faces, Xiao Ping added with a smile: "The Ministry of Agriculture's strict management of genetically modified plants is originally for the sake of the general public, and of course our Holy Pot brand and Lilian Ranch must fully cooperate with this." Although the brand image and revenue have been affected for the time being, now that the truth has been revealed, I believe that it will soon recover. As a responsible brand. Of course, this does not lead to any resentment with the Ministry of Agriculture, which is only doing its job. ”

In recent years, as Xiao Ping's business has become bigger and bigger, he has had more and more opportunities to contact officials at all levels. I've also listened to a lot of reports that are just official articles. Now that he is saying such things in an official tone, he is also impeccable. Many reporters obviously feel that there must be a deeper inside story in this. But the next questions were blocked back by Xiao Ping's words.

"So, what's next for the Holy Pot brand?" a freckled female reporter asked her question after getting Xiao Ping's prompt.

"Of course, it is necessary to restore the brand reputation as soon as possible and start selling all kinds of Holy Pot brand products again. Xiao Ping said with a smile: "Since the Ministry of Agriculture has proved that the Shenghu brand products are absolutely safe, I believe that with the excellent quality of our products, consumers will definitely return to buy our products again soon." ”

Many reporters looked sideways at the colleague who asked the question just now, what a precious opportunity to ask questions, wasting it on such an idiotic question, it is simply a crime.

"Alright. There is also the last question. Xiao Ping reminded the reporters, and his eyes fell on Jessica, who raised his hand, and said, "Please ask questions!"

This was arranged by Xiao Ping and Jessica in advance, and the last question would be asked by her. This issue has also been determined a long time ago, in order to put pressure on the mastermind behind this matter, Kangshan Biotechnology Company.

Of course, Jessica also knew this, and immediately got up and said, "Mr. Xiao, as far as I know, Lilian Ranch has always been operating in accordance with the law, and has always had a high reputation in the local area and among customers. Why did the Ministry of Agriculture suddenly launch an investigation into Lilian Ranch this time, and it still looked like a great enemy, is there anything hidden in this?"

Jessica asked this question as soon as it came out. Other reporters immediately came to the spirits. Everyone looked at this beautiful peer with admiration, and they all felt that her question was too level, and she really asked the point.

Secretly, this is a reporter's favorite thing. If there is something hidden behind this. Then don't worry about no content to report. The reporters are all people who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic, and they have been very disappointed that they have not seen the-for-tat scene between Xiao Ping and the Ministry of Agriculture today. If you can really dig up some more secrets. It's kind of a bit of compensation.

Because of this, Jessica asked. All the reporters looked eager to try, anxiously waiting for Xiao Ping's answer. A few reporters also took the time to glance at the freckled girl who asked the second question. The gaze seemed to say, "Look at the questions asked by others, they are much more skilled than you!"

Under the attention of reporters, Xiao Ping slowly spoke: "As far as I know, this time the Ministry of Agriculture investigated Lilian Ranch, and someone was indeed behind it. And...... I already have conclusive evidence, and I can basically determine the identity of the other party. In fact, strictly speaking, the mastermind behind this is still a competitor to our holy pot brand, and it is not particularly surprising that they would do this. As for how to deal with this matter, I will have to think carefully before deciding. ”

Xiao Ping's answer was tantamount to telling the reporters that there was indeed a hidden story in this matter, and that Lilian Ranch had been framed! And he also made it very clear that the person who did it was a competitor of the Holy Pot brand to some extent, which made this matter even more interesting.

The reporters who heard the news became excited and loudly asked Xiao Ping all kinds of questions. Some people asked Xiao Ping how he would deal with the matter, others asked if he would file a lawsuit against the other party, and some people asked what evidence Xiao Ping had. Of course, the most frequently asked question by reporters is who framed Lillian's ranch this time.

However, Xiao Ping always answered these questions with "no comment". Escorted by security guards, he quickly left the press conference site surrounded by reporters.

Although Xiao Ping left, the enthusiasm of the reporters has not diminished in the slightest. Many people are reminiscing about what Xiao Ping said just now, and secretly guessing who the mastermind behind the scenes he said was. Several close acquaintances have been discussing with each other to find out which companies would benefit from the collapse of the Holy Pot brand.

All reporters on this matter have an idea, that is, to find a way to dig out the true identity of the person behind the scenes. Adopting despicable means in peer competition, and even pulling the Ministry of Agriculture out as a gunman, this is big news, if you can really make a detailed and correct report, this year's Pulitzer Prize will basically be in hand!

Xiao Pingcai didn't care what these reporters thought. After leaving the press conference, he went straight to a room in the Department of Agriculture, accompanied by Sarcowell, to meet Davis and Johnson, who had just been recalled by Kohler.

Halfway through, Sarcowell secretly looked at Xiao Ping beside him from time to time, and finally couldn't help but ask curiously: "Mr. Xiao, didn't you originally say that you wanted to announce the name of Kangshan Company at the press conference, but why did you suddenly change your mind?"

Xiao Ping smiled at Sarcowell: "Because I found that the reporters are very excited, and if they say the name of Korn Hill at this time, they will definitely make a big report." I don't dare to be too careless when dealing with a big company like Kangshan, and it will be troublesome if they bite me back. ”

"That's right. Sakowell nodded in agreement and no longer discussed the matter with Xiao Ping.

As a spokesman for the Department of Agriculture, Sarkowell is well aware of the truth of "saying too much and making more mistakes". He asked Xiao Ping this question just now, and it was just out of curiosity. In fact, for Sarkowell, the most important thing is that Xiao Ping dismissed the responsibility of the Ministry of Agriculture in this matter at the press conference, and he did not care very much about other things.

However, Xiao Ping did not completely tell the truth to Sarkowell either. The reason why he did not disclose the name of Kangshan Company was not only for reasons of prudence, but more importantly, he did not want to open this hole card too early.

After all, if the name of Kangshan Company is disclosed at the press conference, it will be tantamount to tearing the skin of the two sides, and the next step is to confront each other face to face. Xiao Ping knew in his heart that although he had the initiative, it would not be easy to openly confront a behemoth like Kangshan Company.

After all, such a large company has a large team of lawyers, and these lawyers are masters of exploiting legal loopholes. Even if you are sure of victory, it will take several years or even longer to get the best result from a lawsuit with them.

Xiao Ping was not interested in this kind of fact that he had to wait for a long time. That's why he temporarily decided not to mention the name of Kangshan Company for the time being, to see if he could get more benefits for himself in Kangshan Company through other methods. After all, the hole cards that have not been opened are the most deterrent after the rear, and the pressure on the opponent after the disclosure is not so great.

"Maybe if we don't make it public, we can get more benefits from Cornhill. Xiao Ping had such a thought in his heart, full of confidence in his own thoughts.

After all, as long as the Ministry of Agriculture issues a test report, the previous rumors about the Holy Pot brand and Lilian Ranch will also be destroyed, and the brand image of the Holy Pot will soon be saved. After solving the problem of brand image, Xiao Ping of course considered compensation. Xiao Ping has reached a compromise with the Ministry of Agriculture, so naturally he can't ask them for compensation. As the culprit, Kangshan Biotechnology Co., Ltd., of course, is about to bleed.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ping's mood also improved, and he couldn't help but shake his wrist slightly, and at the same time muttered to himself in a low voice: "Bang ......"

Sakowell looked at Xiao Ping with some curiosity, not knowing what he meant. Of course, this foreigner didn't know what to do, Xiao Ping was actually thinking about how to knock on the bamboo pole of Kangshan Company. Since the other party has such a big handle in his hand, he is really sorry for himself if he doesn't knock the bamboo pole "bang".

Xiao Ping and Sarcowell didn't have long to walk before they came outside a room. As soon as Sakowell opened the door, Xiao Ping immediately saw Davis sitting inside. (To be continued......)
