Chapter 633: Sincerely
Although the two bank clerks had noticed Xiao Ping for a long time, they thought that he was just a merchant who had come to buy breeding geese, so how could they have thought that he would offer to pay off Mitterrand's debts? Xiao Ping's words surprised the two, and they looked at him in surprise, thinking that this Oriental man was crazy.
More than 80,000 euros is not a small amount, even if Mitterrand's farm and the geese are sold. The bank clerk really couldn't figure out what Xiao Ping was trying to repay Mitterrand's debts.
Xiao Pingcai didn't care what others thought, he already took out the check book and said, "How much does he owe you in total, did he bring the documents to prove the repayment? I will write a check to you." ”
The bank clerk came back to his senses, Xiao Ping really wanted to repay the money for Mitterrand, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed. As for the reason why he did this, the two naturally didn't ask much, as long as the loan was recovered, why did the others care so much?
One of the bank clerks hurriedly took out the repayment document and pointed out the number on it to Xiao Ping. Xiao Ping was also unambiguous, writing the same number on the check, and then signed his name.
Another bank clerk took the check and immediately got into the car to check whether the check opened by Xiao Ping could be cashed through the bank's internal inquiry system. Soon he came out with a smile on his face, and said politely to Xiao Ping: "It is a pleasure to cooperate with you, thank you for your support to the bank!"
Seeing this, his colleague secretly breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that there was no problem with the check. So he hurriedly stamped the repayment document with the bank's stamp and politely handed it to Xiao Ping.
"Thank you. Xiao Ping was not hypocritical, and simply took over the repayment documents.
Now that the loan has been received, there is no need for the bank staff to stay. The two nodded to Xiao Ping and others, and then got into the car and left the remote farm.
It started with Xiao Ping saying that he was willing to pay back. Mitterrand watched in silence, neither stopping him nor thanking him. Until the bank clerk left. He said coldly: "Don't think that if you pay me back, I will sell you breeding geese." Leave your name and address, and I'll find a way to get the money back. ”
Xiao Ping stuffed the bank's documents into Mitterrand's hand, and said with a faint smile: "Mr. Mitterrand, I am willing to repay the money for me, and there are no other conditions." It's just that you remind me of a man, an old man I respect very much. In some ways, the two of you are very much alike. I think...... Someone like you who is so attached to something is worthy of respect. It shouldn't be so miserable to be called at the door to collect debts. ”
These are indeed Xiao Ping's sincere words. Mitterrand and Old Man Joe are very similar in many places, stubborn, taciturn, and especially persistent in things, which is exactly the same. Xiao Ping repaid Mitterrand's money, completely out of respect for such an old man, and now in this world, there are not many people who are so principled for their ideals.
Xiao Ping's words moved Mitterrand a little, but the strange-tempered old man remained silent, and did not even say a word of thanks.
Mitterrand would rather have the bank confiscate the farm. was also unwilling to give up his precious Lande geese, Xiao Ping knew that it was basically impossible to persuade him to sell geese to himself. He nodded to the stubborn old man, beckoned Pierre to walk towards the taxi that had brought them without looking back.
Mitterrand watched the two of them walk away briskly, and a struggle appeared on his wrinkled old face. Seeing that Xiao Ping had already opened the car door. Mitterrand finally couldn't help but ask: "Is it true that you said that you don't need to feed and cultivate foie gras?"
Mitterrand's question rekindled hope in Xiao Ping's heart, and he hurriedly walked back to the other party and said, "Don't forget that I'm from China. It's a mysterious country, and feeding a few geese is a trivial matter. ”
Xiao Ping's words are really exaggerated. But for an old man like Mitterrand, who lived in the French countryside and was bent on cultivating Landes geese, such an answer was sufficient.
Mitterrand hesitated for a moment and slowly spoke: "I am not a vegetarian. It is clear that these geese were born to be eaten. I'm just against mistreating them, it's inhumane!"
Xiao Ping once again solemnly promised: "Mr. Mitterrand, I can sign a contract with you. ”
Mitterrand waved his hand at Xiao Ping, meaning that it was not so troublesome, and then whispered to him, "Follow me." ”
Xiao Ping followed Mitterrand to the goose house on the farm, where he found that there were hundreds of geese. All the geese are scattered in the goose house, and you can even go to the yard in front of the goose house to roam freely. Xiao Ping had to admit that the living conditions of these geese were much better than those that were kept in small cages and fed every day.
"My goose. Although it was only three words, Xiao Ping could hear Mitterrand's tone full of pride.
Before Xiao Ping could say anything, Mitterrand continued: "Now...... Half of it is yours!"
This was exactly what Xiao Ping wanted to hear the most, and he couldn't help but say to Mitterrand happily: "Thank you, Mr. Mitterrand, uh...... How much am I going to pay you?"
"My goose is not something you can buy for money!" said Mitterrand, proudly, "I am willing to give you the goose for the sake of your knowledge and respect for these animals." ”
Xiao Ping said solemnly: "Don't worry, Mr. Mitterrand, time will prove that you will not regret today's decision." ”
Mitterrand nodded, and then whispered to Xiao Ping: "But I can't get an export permit for live poultry, how to bring these geese back to China depends on your own ability!"
This little problem naturally did not bother Xiao Ping, and he nodded in understanding: "Don't worry, Mr. Mitterrand, this matter is on me!"
The next day, Mitterrand drove out of the cedar farm in his old truck, loaded with more than 300 geese. These species range from adult breeders to young geese that have just hatched, and even a dozen hen geese that are holding their nests. When he returned, all the cages for the geese were gone. However, Cedar Farm was in the middle of nowhere, and Mitterrand had no friends, so no one noticed it.
When Mitterrand returned to the farm, Xiao Ping put the last Lande goose into the demon refining pot in the deserted countryside of France. The geese's diet is very mixed, mainly grass, the grass in the demon refining pot is delicious, and the river is surrounded, which is simply a paradise for these Lande geese. Xiao Ping believes that it will not be long before his goose flock will be able to reproduce and grow.
Although there were some twists and turns in this trip to Landes, the final result was quite satisfactory to Xiao Ping. Although it cost a lot of money to pay off Mitterrand's debts, it was all worth it to buy good breeding geese.
Xiao Ping only told Pierre that the geese had been sent back to China by sea, and since the business in the Landes department had been done, the two of them also took the train back to Paris.
On the train back to Paris, Xiao Ping received a call from Jessica, and the American chick told him the surprising news that she was actually in Paris. (To be continued......)
