Chapter 840: Inspecting the French Branch

In fact, Xiao Ping can understand Pierre's mood very well.

Nowadays, high-end restaurants all over Europe are asking for French, hoping to buy some "holy pot" brand food, which is a great honor, especially for Pierre, who was also a chef.

Although Pierre is annoyed enough by the restaurants every day, not everyone has the qualifications to do so. Nowadays, Pierre can be said to be "in pain and happy", and it is no wonder that he complains and is a little proud at the same time.

However, Pierre and Xiao Ping have known each other for many years, and they also know him well, and after complaining, the French quickly said: "You are not such a diligent person, you have come to France again not long after returning to China, there must be something important, right?"

"You guessed it. Xiao Ping said with a smile: "I came this time to launch a new product in the European market, and the first thing I thought of was the French branch. How's that, that's interesting, isn't it?"

Speaking of new products, Pierre came to the spirit, and hurriedly asked Xiao Ping: "What are the good things this time, let's talk about it!"

"What's the hurry!" Xiao Ping deliberately sold a pass: "I have already asked the overseas business company to transport the goods, and it will arrive in a few days, so keep it secret for the time being! Before the goods arrive, I will first go to the farm and winery to have a look, and then come back to reveal the final answer to you!"

Pierre complained: "You are really boring enough to come to me with such a surprise attack?"

Although the French complained and complained, they also knew that it would not take a few days to know the answer, and they were not very anxious. Now Pierre is no longer as empty as before, and he can run around with Xiao Ping. So he hired an employee to accompany Xiao Ping to the farm and winery, and he also sat at the company's headquarters to coordinate various matters.

Sent by Pierre to accompany Xiao Ping. It was a young man named Monuri. Being with the big boss of the company made him a little restrained, and he only drove along the way. I didn't even dare to talk to Xiao Ping. Xiao Ping also happened to be clean, and he just took a nap in the back seat of the car along the way. Take the opportunity to adjust for jet lag.

Xiao Ping first went to the farm in Normandy and found that it had changed a lot from a few months ago. Although it is still early spring, crisp grass has already grown on large areas of pasture. The grass seeds of these pastures were all treated by Xiao Ping with the Demon Refining Pot, which not only grew quickly and could tolerate all kinds of harsh environments, but also was very nutritious, which was very beneficial to the growth of livestock.

In a pasture, dozens of beef cattle are roaming freely grazing. These cows are all young calves of Kobe Wagyu that Xiao Ping transferred from the Demon Refining Pot and American ranches, and after a few months of growth, they have grown to about the same size as ordinary adult cows.

The person in charge of the farm told Xiao Ping. These cattle have basically grown into size, and they can be slaughtered and marketed after a few months of fattening. In addition, there are dozens of calves in the cattle pen, and when these cattle grow up to be slaughtered, it can greatly alleviate the current tight supply of beef in the company.

Xiao Ping was very satisfied with the breeding situation of Kobe Wagyu cattle and promised the farm supervisor that he would supply breeding cattle to the farm in the future, so that the farm could breed some calves on its own, so as to increase the number of cattle more quickly.

This good news made the farm supervisor overjoyed, and he thanked Xiao Ping again and again. It is important to know that about 100 hectares of land in the farm are used for pasture. Judging from the current growth of pasture, there is no problem at all to raise four or five hundred cattle in such a large area. If you have your own breeding cattle, you can grow the herd on the farm faster.

And Pierre once promised the head of the farm that the farm would produce more. He and other workers will also be paid higher. Now Xiao Ping has given the farm more opportunities to make money, and the person in charge is of course very happy.

After looking at the pasture part, Xiao Ping went to see the vegetable field of the farm. Nowadays, emerald vegetables are very popular throughout Europe. So every field was put to good use. Different fields grow vegetables of different varieties and growing periods, but all vegetables have one thing in common. That is, it grows well, and the leaves are as green as the best jadeite. It's very pleasing to look at in the verdant dripping.

Xiao Ping looked around the farm and was very satisfied with the situation here. It was clear that Pierre had hired the right people, whether they were farm supervisors or ordinary workers, who were very good at their work and devoted themselves wholeheartedly to their work. Of course, this is also inseparable from the incentive system implemented by the French branch, after all, the more the farm produces, the higher the salary of these people, and the average person will of course work hard in this situation.

Xiao Ping looked at a thriving farm, and then thought that there would be farms in other countries in Europe that specialized in growing jade vegetables, which made him feel a great sense of accomplishment. At the same time, Xiao Ping was also secretly glad that he had set up a seed base, otherwise it would be really difficult to explain the source of so many seeds in the future.

After a day on the farm, Xiao Ping rushed to the winery in Provence. When the car is still some distance away from the winery, you can already recognize the vineyards of your own winery.

Unlike other vineyards that have just sprouted, the grapes at Château Saint Kell are already in full bloom. The whole vineyard is lush and green, giving the illusion that it is now in the middle of summer.

When the winery manager Hao Sue saw Xiao Ping, he shook his head and sighed: "Mr. Xiao, it seems that we have lost this bet." The grapes are growing better than the grapes that have been planted for many years at the next winery, and as things stand, this year's results are no problem. ”

Xiao Ping couldn't help but laugh and said: "I said a long time ago that you will definitely lose, can I still not understand the grape varieties I cultivated myself?"

Hao Chau shook his head and sighed to indicate that he had miscalculated, but he still asked Xiao Ping with some unease: "Mr. Xiao, these grapes are no problem, but are they really suitable for winemaking?"

Haucer's worries are not unfounded, there are many varieties of grapes in the world, but there are not many varieties that are really suitable for winemaking, only a small part of them. If the winery grows grape varieties that are not suitable for winemaking, it is useless to produce more grapes earlier.

To be honest, Xiao Ping didn't know anything about this, so he could only comfort Hao Su with a smile: "It's up to you to judge this." However, this grape variety was originally cultivated on the basis of Cabernet Sauvignon, and the quality of the fruit should not be much different from that of Cabernet Sauvignon. ”

Hearing that Xiao Ping was not very sure, Hao Sue couldn't help but sigh: "Then we can only wait for the results to see, but if you want to fully know whether these grapes are suitable for winemaking, you have to wait for the first batch of wine to be brewed!"

Xiao Ping also nodded in agreement, and stayed at the winery that day, and Hao Chau also had time to introduce him to more about the winery. He told Xiao Ping that the current situation is normal, and half of the newly made oak barrels have been delivered, and there is absolutely no way to miss this year's winemaking, which also makes Xiao Ping very satisfied with the condition of the winery.

Xiao Ping had only been at the winery for a day, and the next morning he received a call from Pierre. (To be continued......)
