Chapter 801 Trade Secrets
Zhao Quan has been dealing with this group of people at the gate of the goose farm for a long time. Because Xiao Ping said that he would receive them in person, he never let these people in. Now that the boss has spoken, Zhao Quan immediately beckoned two workers to open the door of the goose farm.
"Please. Xiao Ping smiled and invited the people of the delegation to enter the goose farm, and he was completely a hospitable host at this time.
The people of the inspection group rushed in from Xiao Ping's side, and Su Chenlin and Xia Yang were also among them. However, neither of them took a second look at Xiao Ping, but was very interested in the facilities of the goose farm, and kept taking pictures with their cameras.
Seeing that the two pretended not to know themselves, Xiao Ping would not take the initiative to greet them, but said to Wilson: "Mr. Wilson, please come with me, and I will give you a detailed introduction to the situation of the goose farm." ”
It is rare to meet such a cooperative boss, Wilson is also very satisfied, and said to Xiao Ping with a smile: "Mr. Xiao, I am really touched by your support for our cause so much, if only you could allow my colleagues to visit the goose farm freely." ”
Wilson said while an interpreter translated his words into Chinese. Zhao Quan, who had been accompanying him, was not happy to hear this, and couldn't help but scold in his heart: "These people really have to make inches, it's already very good to let them in, and they still want to visit freely, it's too much!"
However, Xiao Ping's thoughts were different from Zhao Quan's. He had intended to use these people to promote foie gras and his company, and of course he wanted them to know more about the goose farm. Anyway, there is nothing unpleasant about the goose farm, so what is there to be afraid of?
So Xiao Ping didn't hesitate at all, and immediately nodded: "No problem." Except for a few places where you must be accompanied by a staff member, you can come and go freely. ”
Seeing that Xiao Ping agreed so simply. Wilson couldn't help but be secretly surprised. Over the years, he has also inspected many farms, and more often than not, he has been subjected to the other party's eyes and difficulties. A boss who cooperates like Xiao Ping can be said to be unique. Wilson glanced at Xiao Ping seriously, and after making sure that he was not joking with himself, he couldn't help but sigh: "Mr. Xiao, if only every farm owner was as good at talking as you." ”
Xiao Ping also smiled: "The main thing is that I don't have anything to hide here, so it's naturally easy to talk!"
Hearing this, Wilson nodded thoughtfully, and asked the others to scatter to visit everywhere, and he himself said to Xiao Ping with a smile: "Mr. Xiao, I'll follow you around, and I want you to introduce me to the characteristics of this goose farm." How?"
"Gladly. Xiao Ping smiled faintly at Wilson, "Please follow me." ”
Since Wilson was the head of the delegation, Xiao Ping didn't mind spending more time introducing him to his goose farm. The introduction starts with the hatchery, and then the brooding room, the young goose pen, the adult goose pen, the activity field, the river surface, the pasture and other places, so that Wilson can understand the growth process of these fat geese from the beginning.
This was the first time Wilson had enjoyed such a high-level reception, and he watched it very carefully along the way, not only recording all of Xiao Ping's words with a voice recorder, but also asking some questions from time to time, obviously very interested in this goose farm.
The more places Wilson visited, the more surprised he became. In this goose farm. All the geese have a very large living space, plenty of sports grounds, and even an open body of water for them to swim and play. What's more, there is no trace of the feed feeder in the whole goose farm. This shows that the goose farm has abandoned the traditional method of feeding and fattening, and has used a more humane and natural method to fatten these Lande geese.
Even Wilson, a more radical conservationist. I also have to admit that the environment of this goose farm is indeed very good. As far as he can remember, no goose farm has ever taken such good care of its fat geese, and the conditions here are not as good as those in some zoos. In fact, the vast majority of goose farms for the purpose of producing foie gras still use the method of feeding and fertilizing. Compared with the goose farms of the fairy pot company, those goose farms are as terrible as hell.
What puzzled Wilson even more. Although there is no sign of feeding in the fairy pot goose farm, the fat geese in the fertilization pen are only fat and strong. Bigger and fatter than all the fat geese he'd seen before. This situation made Wilson very curious, and finally couldn't help but ask Xiao Ping: "Mr. Xiao, as far as what I saw just now, I am very satisfied with the conditions of your company's goose farm. It's just that one thing I don't understand is why these geese can grow so big and fat without being fed and raised?"
Wilson's problem is also the goose farm's biggest secret. Even in the goose farm, the method of feeding geese with medicinal residue to fattening is only known to Xiao Ping and Zhao Quan. The rest of the workers only knew that they wanted to add something special to the goose feed, and no one knew what these ingredients were.
Of course, Xiao Ping would not tell this big secret, but just smiled faintly and said: "Mr. Wilson, this is the trade secret of our goose farm, please forgive me for not telling you." ”
Wilson also quickly reacted that his question was indeed a bit excessive, and immediately greeted Xiao Ping: "I'm sorry, I really shouldn't have asked this question, I'm sorry." ”
For Wilson, an animal rights activist, his greatest concern is whether the farm's geese are treated inhumanely from birth to slaughter. As for what other methods Xiao Ping used to fatten these geese, it was not Wilson's concern.
While Wilson was getting to know the goose farm, the rest of the group spread out and took a closer look at the various areas of the goose farm.
And Xiao Ping had already taken Wilson to the slaughtering workshop to introduce him to how the goose farm dealt with the fat geese slaughtered.
"Mr. Wilson, this is a carbon dioxide stun chamber. Xiao Ping pointed to a thick sealed door and said: "Our goose farm has always paid attention to animal welfare, from the birth of the Langde goose to the slaughter, it is carried out in a humane way. ”
Wilson, who saw the carbon dioxide halo room, also smiled and agreed with Xiao Ping's words. The function of the stun room is to use carbon dioxide to faint the animals before they are slaughtered, so that the animals do not feel pain during slaughter. Such facilities are already widespread in Europe and the United States, but they are still rare in Asian countries. This goose farm actually has this kind of facility, which makes Wilson nod his head frequently in satisfaction.
Although Wilson was an animal protectionist, he was well aware that it was impossible for the whole world to eat only vegetarian food. Since these geese are bred in captivity for food, slaughter is inevitable. All the IFCA can do is try to get some welfare for the geese while they're still alive.
At present, as far as Wilson himself is concerned, the conditions of this goose farm are among the best in the world. He had secretly decided that if there was no problem with the results of other people's investigations, he must report the situation here to the headquarters of the fund and make it public to the whole world. Let everyone know that even if you raise fat geese in a humane way, you can still get high-quality foie gras.
At this time, the other members of the delegation also came back one after another, and Wilson could see from the faces of the crowd that they were also very satisfied with the situation on the goose farm.
The people who were selected to join the mission were not ordinary people, but most of them were professionals in a certain field. For example, Su Chenlin is a professional veterinarian, while Xia Yang has the title of doctor of engineering. The fact that so many professionals can't find fault with goose farms shows that they are really good enough.
It was impossible for Wilson to ask his colleagues about the results of the investigation here, since he had already seen the goose farm, there was no need to stay for a long time, so he quickly said goodbye to Xiao Ping: "Mr. Xiao, I really disturbed you this time." My colleagues and I will take our leave, and I believe that it will not be long before we can draw conclusions, so you can wait for our good news. ”
Xiao Ping knew that Wilson said this, which was to imply that there was nothing wrong with his investigation, so he also smiled and said: "It's better to let me be the host, and invite everyone to dinner tonight." ”
Wilson immediately excused himself: "We appreciate your kindness, but the Foundation has a rule that the delegation cannot have any private contact with the subject of the investigation, which is also to ensure the fairness and objectivity of the results of the investigation, and I ask for Xiao Ping's understanding." ”
Since the other party said so, of course Xiao Ping would not be reluctant. He nodded in understanding Wilson's words, and then smiled and said, "Then I'll send you out." ”
Wilson thanked Xiao Ping and walked side by side with him to the goose farm. The rest of the group followed the two, chatting and laughing softly with each other. The vast majority of the people in the delegation were very satisfied with the operation, so the atmosphere at this time was also very relaxed.
However, at this moment, a fat figure hurried towards the crowd, and before he could get closer, he said loudly: "Mr. Wilson, we cannot leave so easily! There must be something wrong with this goose farm, and it must be inspected more carefully!"
It was none other than the fat woman who was shouting at the gate of the goose farm before the expedition began. Hearing her shouting over there, Xiao Ping's brows immediately furrowed. This fat woman is so annoying, this attitude is clearly looking for trouble, it's really hateful.
Even Wilson felt that his colleague was a little excessive, frowned and whispered, "Lydia, I'm sure you've already looked at this place in detail, and you can say anything about the discussion!"
The fat woman named Lydia didn't give in at all, and said loudly at the top of her voice: "I must say here, I suspect that this goose farm is raising fat geese in an inhumane way, and they just temporarily moved the feeding device!" (To be continued......)
