Chapter 754 French Branch

On the question of what products to let the French branch produce first, Xiao Ping also gave full consideration.

First of all, of course, there are the jade vegetable varieties that meet the taste of the locals, such as asparagus, celery, tomatoes, purple cabbage, etc., which are commonly eaten by the French and even all Europeans. Xiao Ping prepared a lot of seeds for these vegetables, and after sending them to the farm for planting, they could be marketed in a month at most.

In addition to vegetables, Xiao Ping's second choice is Wagyu. In Europe, the market for premium beef is also large, comparable to that of the United States. Therefore, the French branch cannot always rely on the transportation of beef from American pastures, and it is better to be self-sufficient.

In addition to having Mark organize a batch of calves from the American ranch, Xiao Ping also shipped all the calves born in the demon refining pot to France, so that the number of calves in the French branch would exceed one hundred and fifty. Although the scale of breeding is not large, it is a good start. As long as Xiao Ping and American Ranches continue to support, the scale of rearing will soon reach staggering levels.

Of course, in addition to growing vegetables and raising beef cattle, wine making is also an important part of the French branch. In fact, Xiao Ping's main purpose in going to France this time was to transplant the vines cultivated in the demon refining pot into the winery.

The vines in the demon refining pot are growing amazingly. The trunks of the vines are thicker than Xiao Ping's wrists, and the vines are tangled together, covering a large part of the hillside, and it is very pleasing to look at lushly.

It took Xiao Ping four days to dig out most of the vines, prune off the excess vines, and stack them neatly in the open space by the spring. Xiao Ping drew water from the spring and drenched all the vines. Coupled with the unique conditions in the demon refining pot, there is no need to worry about these vines withering at all.

After these works are done. Xiao Ping also began to leave for France. And long before he left, goods such as foie gras had already been shipped.

Knowing that Xiao Ping is coming. Pierre put down his work and drove to Charles de Gaulle International Airport to pick him up. Xiao Ping didn't have time to find a hotel, so he went directly to the headquarters of the French branch.

It's a little over an hour's drive from central Paris, but it's closer to the airport. Pierre was looking for such a place as the company's headquarters, of course, because the rent of the office building was cheap.

He also admired Pierre's thrifty business philosophy, Xiao Ping smiled and joked with the French: "Thank you, Pierre, you saved me a lot of money for shooting!"

"No, no!" said Pierre, grimacingly, "I found this place a few months ago, and you hadn't sent me the second amount of money yet." There are only 100,000 euros in the company's account. It's nice to find a place like this. ”

Thinking of the previous situation of tight funds, Xiao Ping couldn't help but smile and said: "Don't worry, it's just a special situation, and it won't be in the future." As long as you wait for the French branch to officially open, you won't be short of money, and you can move to the center of Paris if you want to!"

In fact, in addition to the relatively remote location, the environment of the headquarters of the French branch is still very good. The building built at the beginning of the last century looks a little old, but it has a very old French history. In front of the building is a small road, and behind it is a large area of greenery, which seems to Xiao Ping to be like working next to a park.

There are seven or eight employees in the company. They were all after Xiao Ping's money to the French branch arrived. Pierre's newly recruited staff will be responsible for all aspects of the branch.

After knowing that Xiao Ping was the big boss of the company, these employees also came to greet him. But the French have always been very proud, and even more so the French in the Paris area. So these employees put themselves on a completely equal footing with Xiao Ping. When greeting them, I couldn't see the slightest flattering look on them.

After saying hello, everyone went back to their work. At present, all kinds of commodities raised by Xiao Ping have been shipped one after another, because they are basically agricultural products. Therefore, in addition to customs clearance, there is also inspection and quarantine work to be done. Everyone in the company is very busy, but they don't have time to chat with Xiao Ping here.

Xiao Ping didn't think much about this. He came here just to see how the French branch was doing. It's not about enjoying the feeling of the stars holding the moon. Since everyone was busy with their own work, Xiao Ping did not stay in the branch for long. He also had his own business to do - rushing to the winery to transplant the vines.

The branch has been busy lately, and Xiao Ping rejects Pierre's suggestion to accompany him to the winery, and drives alone to the ChΓ’teau de Saint Pot in Provence.

Winter is the best time to transplant the vines, so not only will the survival rate be high, but the grapes will bud and grow in spring.

Winters in the Mediterranean coast are not cold, and Xiao Ping finds them much more comfortable than those in the Jiangnan region, which is known for its wet and cold. He drove Pierre's Peugeot on the highway and finally arrived at his winery.

The winery has experienced Hao Sue knowing in advance that Xiao Ping will come, and he has been waiting for a while. As soon as Xiao Ping got out of the car, he couldn't wait to catch up and said, "Mr. Xiao, it's winter now, if we don't hurry up and transplant grapes now, we will waste another year's time!"

Ever since the vines were removed, Haucer has been worried about the fate of the winery, and has been worried for half a year. Although Xiao Ping paid the workers of the winery as usual, several people felt that they had no future in staying, and resigned for various reasons. This made the people who stayed even more panicked, for fear that when Xiao Ping would call over and announce the closure of the winery and drive everyone away.

As the manager of the winery, Haucer fears this to happen. Now that he finally ran into the boss again, he didn't even have time to say hello to Xiao Ping and asked the question he was most concerned about.

"Don't worry, Haucer. Xiao Ping smiled and said to the winery manager: "I have already contacted it, and the vines will be delivered to the winery tomorrow." ”

Xiao Ping's answer was equivalent to giving Hao Sue a reassurance, and he smiled with relief: "This is really good, I think everyone will be very happy to know this news." ”

Xiao Ping nodded in agreement, and then said with a smile: "I have been living in the winery for the past few days, and I have done this important thing with everyone." ”

For Hao Chau, this was the happiest decision Xiao Ping had made since he bought the winery, and he immediately said impatiently: "I'll tell the others the news now, and let them come to work at the winery early tomorrow morning." ”

Seeing Hao Sue walking out excitedly, Xiao Ping suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly stopped him and said, "Please wait a minute, I have something to ask you!" (To be continued......)
