Chapter 758 Bribing French Government Officials?
An official stopped and asked, "Mr. Xiao, is there anything else?"
Xiao Ping smiled and took out a document bag and said, "Please accept this." ”
As soon as Xiao Ping's words fell, the faces of the two officials changed. Even Pierre's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly pulled Xiao Ping's clothes hard behind him, asking him not to do this.
However, Xiao Ping seemed to be unaware, and still said to the two officials with a smile: "Both, please accept this document bag!"
"Mr. Xiao, can I think that you are trying to bribe government officials?" One of the officials had a very ugly face and reminded Xiao Ping with a frown: "I don't care what you do elsewhere, but it is a felony to do so in France! Please take it back immediately, otherwise I will report you to the police!"
The other party's words made Xiao Ping cry and laugh, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "The two of you misunderstood, what is contained here is not cash, just some vegetable seeds!"
Xiao Ping opened the file bag as he spoke, showing it to everyone, and there was nothing else in it except for a few small packets of seeds that were packaged separately.
At this time, the faces of the two officials looked better, and one of them said to Xiao Ping: "I'm sorry, Mr. Xiao, we misunderstood you just now." But...... What do you mean by giving us these seeds?"
Xiao Ping patiently explained: "These are the vegetable seeds that the farm is about to plant, and I would like to ask the two of you to bring them back and inspect them together to confirm that these seeds meet EU standards." In order to prevent the same rumors as pasture after our vegetables are planted. ”
Pierre, who was next to him, nodded secretly when he heard Xiao Ping's words. He is a knowledgeable jade vegetable that is far superior to ordinary vegetables in terms of appearance and taste. At present, the farm has only planted some pasture, and rumors are already flying, and when the jade vegetables are on the market, it will definitely make even more noise. It is important to send vegetable seeds for testing in advance.
Thinking of this, Pierre also spoke: "Both, the vegetables grown on our farm are specially cultivated. When you grow up, you will be very ...... Particularly. Therefore, it is better to test as early as possible to avoid any further rumors that damage the reputation of the farm. ”
Since Xiao Ping took the initiative to make such a request. There was no reason for those two officials to refuse. One of them took the document bag and nodded to Xiao Ping, "Since you have such worries, it is also a good idea to test beforehand." Well, I'll keep in touch with both of you, and I'll let you know as soon as the results come out. ”
Watching the car of the Ministry of Agriculture official drive out of the farm, Pierre couldn't help but ask Xiao Ping with some concern: "Xiao, do you think there is a problem with the test results?"
"Don't worry, the same grass and vegetables have long been tested by the USDA, and of course there will be no problem here. Xiao Ping said with full certainty: "The transformation of the grassland is about to be completed. Now it's time for the workers to sow the vegetables. In this way, it will only take a month at most for the French branch to sell its own agricultural products. ”
Hearing that the grass and vegetables had passed the inspection of the United States Department of Agriculture, Pierre was also relieved, and nodded again and again: "Okay, I will arrange for the workers to plant jade vegetables as soon as possible." Let these frogs at the bottom of the well who doubt us see the strong scientific and technological strength of our fairy pot company!"
"That's right, let them envy and hate it!" Xiao Ping first deeply agreed with Pierre's words, and then habitually complained: "Old Pi, your Chinese level is getting higher and higher." Even the frog at the bottom of the well can say it, it's really not easy!"
"I've said it many times, I don't have a surname like Pi!" Pierre habitually declared, but he knew that Xiao Ping would not change his name. Soon shook his head helplessly and said, "Forget it, don't talk about this, what are your plans next?"
Xiao Ping groaned: "The goods prepared for the branch have arrived. As long as it passes the test, it can be put on sale, right? The brand 'Holy Pot' is not well-known in France or Europe, and I would like to hold a promotion party. How about letting potential customers know how good our products are?"
"That's a good idea. Pierre also gave Xiao Ping an idea: "The main customers of our products are fine dining restaurants. I think we should invite some chefs from high-end restaurants to participate in the promotion. I know a lot of famous chefs, and I believe they will give me this face to attend the promotion meeting. ”
Xiao Ping also nodded: "Then ask a few media magazines to do a report, by the way, I can contact Chef Ramsey to see if Hell's Kitchen can do a special report." ”
Pierre nodded happily and said, "If there is Hell's Kitchen to report, the promotion will definitely be more effective." But Ramsey is not a good person to get along with, I'm afraid ......"
"Don't worry about that, wrap it up on me. Xiao Ping patted his chest in a big way, and then said confidently: "French cuisine is very famous in Western cuisine, and in this case, we will use France as a bridgehead to occupy the European market." As long as the French food and beverage industry accepts our products, it will be much easier to open up markets for the rest of Europe. ”
Pierre agreed with Xiao Ping's words and nodded proudly: "That's right, French cuisine has a great influence on other European countries, as long as French chefs accept our products, chefs from other countries will definitely accept it." ”
Speaking of this, Xiao Ping reminded Pierre: "In the future, a large part of the vegetables and beef produced on the farm will be supplied to the entire European market, which is very important for the whole company, and you will have to worry more about it in the future." ”
Pierre agreed earnestly: "Don't worry, I will take care of the farm as much as possible, this is the basis for opening up the European market, I understand this truth." ”
Now that they had their next steps in mind, Xiao Ping and Pierre would not stay in the Normandy countryside, but immediately rushed to the company's headquarters on the outskirts of Paris to devote themselves to the preparations for the promotion meeting.
The French branch has not been established for a long time, and most of the employees are still busy with customs declaration and inspection of various products, so it is very difficult to hold such a large-scale event. To this end, Pierre recruited a few more staff members, and also contacted a company specializing in exhibitions, and outsourced the specific work of holding promotion meetings to this company.
As for Xiao Ping and Pierre, they were responsible for contacting guests for the promotion meeting. If there are no weighty guests at the promotion meeting, no matter how lively it is, it will be a failure.
The two have a clear division of labor, with Pierre in charge of contacting his chef friends and Xiao Ping in contacting Hell's Kitchen, as well as several of Europe's big food suppliers.
The first person Xiao Ping wanted to contact was, of course, Ramsay, the angry chef who was very famous in the food industry. (To be continued......)
