Pierre on the phone was very excited, and as soon as Xiao Ping answered the phone, he shouted loudly: "Dear Xiao, the things shipped from China have been delivered, and there is still a seal on it, I will wait for you to come back and open the seal, come back quickly!"

Promoting saffron was the main purpose of Xiao Ping's visit to France this time, and he quickly rushed back to the company after receiving this call. Pierre was impatient to wait, and as soon as Xiao Ping returned to the company, he was pulled into the office, which caused some employees to look sideways: Mr. Pierre seems to be very enthusiastic about the big boss, and it has gone beyond the relationship between superiors and subordinates and friends!

Pierre didn't care what the gossipy employees thought, hurriedly took out a package from the safe in the office and said, "The package is here, hurry up and unpack!"

Before unpacking, Xiao Ping carefully checked the packaging and seal on the outside, and after confirming that there was no damage, he nodded with satisfaction, ready to open the package by himself.

Seeing Xiao Ping so cautious, Pierre next to him couldn't help but ask him in a whisper: "Are you ready to promote new varieties of vegetables in the European market again, what kind of seeds are these?"

Xiao Ping glanced at Pierre and said, "This is not a seed, but a commodity that can be sold directly!"

"Goods for direct sale?" Xiao Ping's words surprised the Frenchman, and he couldn't help but lower his voice and asked: "How can such a small thing meet the needs of the entire European market?"

Xiao Ping smiled proudly: "I didn't say that I want to meet the needs of the entire European market, but I just want to occupy the high-end area of this market." You don't have to look at it like that, but it's very valuable. If my judgment is correct, the contents of this little package ...... It's absolutely crazy!"

Pierre's face was even more surprised. He glanced at the label on the package and saw that it read "agricultural products." So he cautiously said to Xiao Ping: "I said Xiao, your company is already profitable enough." You don't need to do this kind of business, do you?"

Xiao Ping couldn't help but ask: "Why don't you do it if you have money to make?"

"But...... It's illegal!" Pierre hesitated for a moment but decided to tell the truth: "It's not worth it to put your future in order to make such a small amount of money!"

"Illegal?!" Xiao Ping was surprised at this time, looked at Pierre and asked unexpectedly: "Is this kind of thing illegal in Europe?"

The Frenchman smiled bitterly: "This thing is illegal in all parts of the world, right? You are obviously pretending to be confused!"

"Wait, are you sure we're talking about the same thing?" Xiao Ping noticed that there was a misunderstanding between the two, and quickly stopped and asked Pierre, "What do you think is in here?"

Now the French also felt that something was wrong with the situation, and asked Xiao Ping tentatively: "Isn't it white powder?"

"You're big!" Xiao Ping couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth, and said while unpacking the package: "It's these things, saffron!"

Although he was scolded by Xiao Ping, Pierre, who was relieved, was full of smiles. The situation just now was so terrifying. For a moment, the French even thought that Xiao Ping would kill himself. Now that I finally put my mind at ease, it turns out that the new product that Xiao Ping intends to launch is just croc.

In the European and American markets, the price of the best saffron is not cheap, and each gram sells for dozens of dollars, which is completely comparable to gold. Looking back now, Xiao Ping was right when he said that the new products he was going to launch were valuable and crazy enough.

Pierre said to Xiao Ping with palpitations: "I said Xiao, I'm old, don't scare me like this in the future, my heart can't stand it." ”

"It's obvious that you are cranky and scared yourself half to death. Can I be blamed for this?" Xiao Ping had already opened the package as he spoke, took out a box of croclaws and handed it to Pierre, "Look at the quality!"

The Frenchman took the box and didn't open it immediately, so he couldn't help but whisper: "What a pure color!"

As he spoke, Pierre opened the box and first smelled the crocrush. Then he took out a few and looked at them carefully, then nodded and said, "Sure enough, it's a good crocus, better than anything I've seen before!"

Pierre's words made Xiao Ping's heart happy. As a chef in his own right, Pierre certainly has a knack for all kinds of spices. Since he said that these croclaws are good. Then it shouldn't be much worse, thinking of this, Xiao Ping asked with a smile: "Are you sure that these are the best saffrons?" We set a suitable price and launch it to the European market as soon as possible. ”

Listen to what Xiao Ping said. Pierre hesitated. This is a big deal related to the pricing of new products, and you can't jump to conclusions. If the price is low, the company must be the one who suffers, and if the price is high, it will affect the company's image and give people the impression that the company is not honest enough, which is too much responsibility.

Pierre thought about it for a while, and finally said a little embarrassedly: "Actually...... I don't know much about saffron, so you'd better ask an expert in this area before pricing it. ”

"You didn't say it earlier!" Xiao Ping frowned and said, "I won't waste time looking for you." ”

Feeling that his self-esteem was hurt by Xiao Ping's words, the Frenchman hurriedly found face for himself: "You are really looking for the right person when you look for me." I know a man who is recognized in the world as an expert in the study of various seasonings. If you want to know the quality of these crocus, I can introduce you to you!"

"You didn't say it earlier!" Xiao Ping was still very dissatisfied: "Let me be disappointed in vain!"

Lost his temper by Xiao Ping, Pierre couldn't help but shake his head and said, "What do you want me to do?"

Xiao Ping smiled and put his arm on Pierre's shoulder and said, "Old Pi, what do you think you can do without knowing the Tao? Of course, you introduced me to that expert! You see, if the quality of these saffrons is really good enough, it will also be a good thing for the French branch." What an honor it is for me to choose to make the world premiere of these crocloves in the French branch!"

"I don't have the surname Pi......" the Frenchman habitually defended, and then reluctantly put his hand on his forehead and said, "Well, I will find a way to introduce you to Mr. Capet." ”

"That's pretty much it. Xiao Ping nodded with satisfaction: "I hope Mr. Capet won't let us down!"

Pierre's connections in France were indeed enough, and the next day he contacted Mr. Capet, a seasoning expert. The latter was writing his new book in Cannes and had not wanted to meet strangers. But fortunately, Pierre's face is big enough, and the brand "Holy Pot" has recently been thunderous in European food circles, I heard that this brand is going to launch a seasoning, and I want to ask myself to identify it first, so Capet agreed to take half an hour to meet Xiao Ping.

On the day of the appointment to meet Capet, Xiao Ping and Pierre rushed to his residence in Cannes early to meet with the expert.

On the way, Pierre briefly briefed Chapin about Capet. The surname Capet has a history in France, when the Capet family was once the most powerful family in France, and even ruled the whole of France.

However, now the French aristocracy has long lost its former power, and Capet can only live a worry-free life. Since you don't have to worry about food and clothing, you can do what you are interested in. This Capet's hobby is different from most people's, and he is actually fascinated by all kinds of spices. However, he also has such a talent, both the sense of smell and taste is much sharper than that of ordinary people, and he is very sensitive to the slightest taste changes.

Talent, hard work, and good economic conditions made Capet soon an authority on the study of various spices. In order to understand the seasonings in various parts of the world, in the past few years, he has traveled all over the world, even the most remote areas, in order to collect as much information as possible about various seasonings. Now Capet is writing a new book in Cannes, which is to write all the spices from all over the world into this book, and become a veritable "seasoning encyclopedia".

"This Capet is really crazy. After listening to Pierre's introduction, Xiao Ping couldn't help but sigh: "I died in order to study spices and explore all over the world, which is really a bit full." ”

Pierre, who already has a tendency to become an expert in the Chinese language, shook his head and said: "There is an old Chinese saying that 'if you don't go crazy, you can't live', and if Capet didn't have this spirit, he wouldn't have become a famous seasoning expert in the world." ”

Xiao Ping nodded and said, "What you said also makes sense, but the title of seasoning expert ...... It seems a little out of tune. ”

The Frenchman seriously corrected Xiao Ping's erroneous view: "You are very wrong to think so. Capet is one of the three seasoning experts recognized by the world, and any seasoning can be instantly doubled in value if it can be approved by him. If our saffron can be favored by him this time, it will not be a problem to promote it to the European and American markets!"

"It turns out that this expert is also in charge of the sauce identification work. Xiao Ping suddenly realized: "According to what you say, I have to pay attention to this meeting, if only he could give a good review of saffron." ”

"A must!" Pierre said with a thumbs up to Xiao Ping.

Xiao Ping hurriedly asked Pierre: "What does Capet like?

"Don't be stupid, Capet never had any financial dealings with the people who asked him for identification. Pierre laughed: "Otherwise, how could others believe his conclusions, and how could he have such a high reputation in the spice research industry?"

Xiao Ping is right to think about it. If Capet receives favors from others, his credit will certainly not be very good, and his appraisal conclusions will not be useful. In that case, you don't have to do anything, just impress this seasoning expert with the quality of saffron.

The two soon arrived at Capet's residence, where a butler in a tuxedo and white gloves, whom he had only seen on television, stood in the foyer and politely said to them: "Mr. Xiao and Mr. Pierre, welcome! Mr. Caet is waiting for you in the study, please come with me." ”

Xiao Ping and Pierre followed the butler to Capet's study, and finally met this world-famous seasoning expert. (To be continued......)
