Chapter 759: Preparing for the Promotion Meeting
"Dear Xiao, did you finally remember to call me?" Ramsey's cheerful voice came from the other end of the line: "It's always a pleasure to get a call from an old friend at any given time!" β
If someone heard Ramsey talking to Xiao Ping on the phone in this tone, they would have dropped their jaws on the instep of their feet in surprise. You must know that Ramsey and most people talk on the phone, but they are all very vicious, and if they can say a few words in a calm tone, they can make the other party happy for a long time. He was so amiable when he talked to Xiao Ping on the phone, which is something that many people dare not think of.
However, Xiao Ping was accustomed to this, and he didn't feel that there was anything wrong, and said with the same smile: "Mr. Ramsay, I called you, but I have something important to tell you." β
Ramsey immediately became interested and asked curiously: "What is important?" Is it that the fat goose has been slaughtered and can supply me with foie gras? β
"I haven't forgotten what I promised you." Xiao Ping said with a smile: "I just contacted the goose farm yesterday, and this weekend at the latest, a batch of foie gras and goose breast meat will be flown to New York, and you just need to arrange for someone to receive it." β
Ramsey was even happier with the news, and he smiled in his trademark loud voice and said, "Ha Luha, then I'll thank you first, Xiao!" β
Xiao Ping took this opportunity to say: "Actually, I have one more thing to tell you, recently my branch in France is going to hold a promotion meeting, planning to promote some of the company's products to the French culinary industry, is Hell's Kitchen interested in reporting?" β
If it was a promotion meeting held by other food companies, Ramsey would definitely ignore it, but Xiao Ping's company was different. Angry Chef was convinced. With the strength of the fairy pot company, the promotion will definitely cause a sensation in France and even the whole of Europe. It's a shame not to report such a big event.
Ramsey only thought for a few seconds before immediately clapping: "Of course it should be reported." I think we should do an interview. It's better to let Jessica take care of this, how about I'm a friend enough, right? β
Listening to Ramsey's somewhat mocking voice, Xiao Ping could almost imagine the strange appearance of the angry chef on the other end of the phone. However, Xiao Ping really misses the sexy and bold American chick, and there is nothing to pretend in front of Ramsey, so he immediately thanked him with a smile: "Then I will thank you a lot, I will send the invitation today, if you have time, come and take a look." β
"I'll try to arrange it." Ramsey readily agreed, and hung up.
When Xiao Ping called. Pierre kept looking at him nervously. The name of the angry chef is not for nothing, Ramsey is almost not kind to anyone, especially this kind of call inviting Hell's Kitchen magazine to report and publicize, he has received a polite non-swearing, and he has never heard of an invitation from any company.
So although Xiao Ping's expression was relaxed, the Frenchman was still very nervous, and as soon as he hung up the phone, he couldn't wait to ask, "How is it?" β
"What else?" Xiao Ping shrugged indifferently: "Ramsey promised to shoot an interview team and do an exclusive interview with our promotion meeting." β
Pierre cheered with joy: "Great, there's an interview with Hell's Kitchen." The promotion will definitely attract attention from all sides. β
Xiao Ping glanced at the Frenchman and said, "Calm down, I haven't finished talking yet!" Ramsey promised me that he would come if he had time, but that wasn't for sure. Keep it a secret. β
"Pull ...... Is it possible for Ramsey to come in person? Pierre said nervously: "This is a big deal, no, I have to contact the conference company." Let them take the promotion meeting up a few notches! β
The Frenchman hurried away as he spoke, and told the company clerk to go. Xiao Ping continued to contact other major European food companies. Ask them to send someone to the promotion as well. These large companies have previously proposed to cooperate with Xianhu Company, hoping to become the exclusive local agent of Xianhu Company.
Now Xiao Ping personally called to invite. Naturally, each company gladly agreed to send high-level managers to participate in the promotion meeting. First, I can have a good relationship with Xianhu Company, and secondly, I can also take a look at the products that Xiao Ping plans to launch in the European market. And Xiao Ping can rely on them to support the French branch, which is a win-win situation.
Xiao Ping's invitation to the guests went smoothly, but Pierre encountered some problems. Although he was also a well-known rising star in the French chef circle at the beginning, after all, he went to China for several years and was somewhat estranged from his chef friends. At first, a few people received a call from Pierre and agreed with great interest that they would attend the promotion meeting. However, as Pierre's phone calls grew, the rejections grew. Even among the chefs who had agreed to attend, some regretted that they would not participate in the promotion meeting. At the end of the day, the number of people who were confirmed to attend was far less than Pierre's estimate, and there were only about a dozen chefs.
This situation annoyed the Frenchman, and he scratched his head, which had less and less hair, and muttered to himself: "What's going on, is my popularity so bad?" β
"Look at the point, your Chinese level is so good, don't you know that there is a saying in the road called 'people walk tea and cool'?" Xiao Ping also knew about this, and said to Pierre lightly: "Our products are of such high quality, it is their own loss that they don't come." When the time comes, we will announce at the promotion that the guests in attendance will be given priority supply, so that those who look down on you will regret going! β
Knowing that Xiao Ping was comforting himself, Pierre smiled gratefully at him, and then scratched his head in distress and said, "I always feel that something is wrong with this, and my popularity is not bad to this extent." I heard from a chef friend of mine that it seemed like someone was secretly contacting other people to boycott the promotion, and that's what really bothered me. β
"And this?" Xiao Ping was also taken aback, but soon said confidently: "Let them resist it, as long as our products are of excellent quality, whoever resists will be unlucky." Unless they want to lose to a competitor, sooner or later they will come to us. β
Thinking that Xiao Ping made sense, Pierre was also relieved. But he still didn't completely let go of the matter, and made up his mind to find this guy hiding in the shadows.
Except for some problems in inviting chefs, other preparations for the promotion event went smoothly.
The address of the venue has long been decided, on the upper floor of a famous department store on the Champs-ΓlysΓ©es. Various presentations are held here throughout the year, and during Paris Fashion Week, many famous fashion brands are the venue for the next season's new fashions, and it is the first time that it has been used as a venue for food promotion events.
Xiao Ping and Pierre went to see it many times and were very satisfied with the layout of the venue. It fully embodies the high-end and luxurious characteristics of the "Holy Pot" brand food, and I believe that it can leave a very deep impression on the guests who participate in the promotion meeting.
Other good news also kept coming, which made Pierre, who was still a little depressed, gradually feel better. All the products that were to be presented to the guests at the promotion were tested by the French authorities and approved for marketing. This means that all products can be sold legally and the French branch can finally start operating in earnest.
But the good news doesn't stop there. Just three days before the event, Ramsey called Xiao Ping to confirm that he would also be present. The news made Pierre particularly uplifted, and his mood was even more intense. It was an enviable event to have such an important guest as Ramsey present at the promotion meeting, and the chefs who turned down Pierre's invitation would surely regret it.
As the day of the promotion session gets closer, so do the things that need to be dealt with. The day before the start of the promotion, Pierre and the employees of the French branch were even more busy. Only Xiao Ping was the most available, not only did he not rush for the promotion meeting, but drove away from the company.
However, Xiao Ping did not drive around, but went to Charles de Gaulle Airport to pick up people - Jessica and the interview team were on a plane that was about to land, and the purpose of Xiao Ping's trip was to "have a preliminary understanding and establish good communication" with the interview team. Of course, this is just an excuse made by Xiao Ping. In fact, he just misses Jessica very much and wants to see her sooner.
Xiao Ping was lucky, the transoceanic plane was not delayed and landed on time at Charles de Gaulle International Airport. He didn't have to wait long before he saw Jessica stride out of the international to the exit.
After a few months of not seeing each other, Jessica looked more radiant. Her blonde hair was dazzling, her pretty face exuded a touching brilliance, and her slim coat made her look even taller and plump. Even in France, where there are many beautiful women, Jessica is a dazzling sight in the crowd, attracting many men to look sideways at her.
Jessica also saw Xiao Ping, and a bright smile immediately bloomed on her pretty face, and she walked towards him quickly with her seductive long legs.
Xiao Ping greeted Jessica with open arms and gave her a big hug. The bold personality of the American chick was undoubtedly revealed at this time, and she took the initiative to give Xiao Ping a hot kiss.
Fortunately, France is known for its romance, and the tourists around it not only do not despise the two of them, but they all smile kindly. Of course, there are also some men who have been conquered by Jessica's beauty after seeing this scene, and secretly feel sad that they have no chance.
After a long time, the two reluctantly parted, and Jessica, who was smiling like a flower, took Xiao Ping's arm and whispered: "At first, Ramsey asked me to come to Paris for an interview, and I was still a little unhappy. However, it turns out that you will also attend the promotion meeting, so I will immediately end the work at hand and rush here, and being with you is the happiest thing! β
Listening to Jessica's undisguised expression of love for herself, Xiao Ping was of course very happy, and whispered in her ear: "I'm also looking forward to meeting you, I booked a room and table for you at the Leeds Hotel, and I'll invite you to dinner tonight, right?" β
Of course, Jessica knew what Xiao Ping meant by inviting her to dinner, but she shook her head apologetically and said, "Honey, I'm really sorry, not tonight." (To be continued......)
