Chapter 506: The Exposition

After the exhibits passed the inspection, Xiao Ping went to his booth under the leadership of the staff.

This time, Xiao Ping's booth was well located, in the center of the entire exhibition hall. This location can attract the largest number of people to visit, which is a great benefit for promoting the brand and products.

In fact, this is also what Xiao Ping expected. After all, as Ramsey said, the De Niro family is one of the most important exhibitors at the fair, and their booth is supposed to be in the best possible location. And Xiao Ping's booth and the De Niro family are face-to-face, where will the location be different?

All the booths are uniformly arranged by the organizers, with the same size signboards, the same color text, simply indicating the type, brand and origin of the exhibits, and there is nothing superfluous.

Xiao Ping likes this concise and clear style very much. Without gorgeous publicity, everyone can only compete in the quality of the product, which is undoubtedly the most beneficial to Xiao Ping, who is not very famous in the international market.

When Xiao Ping came to the booth, there were already people busy at the De Niro family's booth opposite. Of course, it was impossible for Lorenzo to do something like setting up a booth, and it was only a few employees of the De Niro family business who were busy in front of the booth.

As they worked, they looked at the booth opposite. They already knew that opposite was the booth of the fair's biggest competitor. So when Xiao Ping appeared, several people looked at him with unfriendly eyes, and their faces were also gloomy and terrifying.

Of course, Xiao Ping will not be affected by these people, but at the current venue, there are so many people coming and going around the expo. Don't be afraid of these guys messing around. What's more, even if these guys really come to make trouble, with Xiao Ping's strength, they can easily be leveled. What is there to worry about?

So Xiao Ping completely ignored the murderous gaze of these people, and gently hummed a song and began to set up the booth.

Speaking of which, when Xiao Ping had just started to use the demon refining pot to grow vegetables. For a while, he planted, harvested, and sold vegetables all by himself, and it was naturally difficult for him to arrange vegetables neatly. It's been a long time since I've done this work, but I'm pretty good at doing it now.

Xiao Ping took out the vegetables from the fresh-keeping box, and according to the different varieties, they were neatly stacked on the booth, and it didn't take long to arrange several kinds of exhibited vegetables.

Xiao Ping put the vegetables in a very neat stack, and the rows were like an army being reviewed. The vegetables grown from the demon refining pot were already excellent, but now they were neatly arranged like this, even if they didn't want to attract the attention of others.

So Xiao Ping just stacked the vegetables. It attracted the attention of the staff of several nearby booths. They looked at the vegetables on the stand in amazement, and from time to time they whispered curiously, asking each other what the young Oriental man was all about. The people who are eligible to participate in the fair are insiders, so it is natural to see how popular these vegetables will be in the market.

Employees at two farms, already sensing the threat, are quietly taking pictures of the vegetables on their phones and sending them back to report to their bosses, finding strong competitors at the fair.

And the most nervous ones are naturally the people in the booth opposite. In their opinion, their company is the most famous truffle supplier in the world, and it is impossible for the Oriental to beat the company at the fair. However, when several people saw Xiao Ping's vegetables on display. Confidence immediately waned. They know very well that if Xiao Ping's truffles also have this level, then their company will lose.

But in a hurry, these people have nothing to do. They are just low-level employees who were sent to set up the booth, and they are not qualified to use the company's resources to confront Xiao Ping. It's only a dry stare.

Xiao Ping didn't care about other people's eyes at all, and arranged his booth wholeheartedly. After the vegetables are placed, the peaches are stacked layer by layer, and the truffles stored in the soil are carefully placed in a dark plastic box. After the event, live abalone and river eels are put into the large aquarium prepared by the organizers, and the booth is arranged.

From exhibit inspection to booth layout. It took Xiao Ping a whole day. Looking at the particularly eye-catching booth, Xiao Ping was also very satisfied. He quickly locked the glass door of the booth. Leisurely will go to the hotel to rest. Anyway, during the fair, the exhibition hall has been under the monitoring of the security center, and there are security patrols all night, but there is no fear of someone sabotaging at night.

After a good night's rest, Xiao Ping went to the exhibition hall in good spirits to prepare for the first day of the fair.

After the three-day expo officially began, visitors flocked to the pavilion to join the annual event of the food and beverage industry. Unlike the informal exhibitions of the previous days, the people who came to the fair were professionals from this circle. Their purpose is also very clear, that is, to find the best ingredients and provide the best raw materials for their company or restaurant.

Of course, these people belong to different companies, and the ingredients they are looking for are also different. Some people are interested in meat, others prefer fish or poultry, and of course there are those who value vegetables and fruits.

Whatever the goal of these visitors, though, there was one booth that left a lasting impression on everyone. This booth is undoubtedly Xiao Ping's booth.

Whether it is vegetables carved like jade, fresh peaches with beautiful colors and aromas, or river eels and abalone in the aquarium, they are all very eye-catching exhibits. It's amazing that so many of the best ingredients appeared in the same booth.

Xiao Ping seemed to think that this was not enough, and actually made an ingenious gimmick of tasting it.

Moray eel, abalone and truffles are not easy to eat, but those vegetables and peaches are the objects of taste. Vegetables such as lettuce and American celery can be eaten raw, while baby greens and spinach are boiled in boiling water and then taken out and placed in disposable utensils for people to taste.

In charge of the tasting activity were the wives of two cowboys on the ranch, who came to New York with their husbands, who also came to the fair, but were pulled by Xiao Ping.

However, Xiao Ping promised them that as long as they helped in the past few days, after the expo ended, they would give the two cowboys a holiday, so that they could have a good time in New York for a few days, and all the expenses would be borne by the ranch. The two housewives were very satisfied with this condition and did their best to do their work.

In fact, Xiao Ping's exhibits can kill other similar exhibits just by looking at the appearance, and the tasting activity allows everyone to appreciate how delicious these vegetables and fruits are.

It would be strange if this top-notch ingredient was not popular, and many of the merchants who came to visit saw the business opportunities contained in it, and gathered in front of the booth to ask about the situation of these ingredients and whether there was any possibility of cooperation.

However, Xiao Ping affirmed that he only participated in the expo to show his ingredients, and had no intention of looking for partners at all. When everyone heard his answer, they were inevitably very disappointed.

Of course, since there is such a good opportunity, Xiao Ping doesn't mind advertising himself. So he enthusiastically introduced his farm in the United States, as well as his partners in Australia and Japan. If you are a businessman in North America, Australia and Japan, you can directly contact them to discuss cooperation.

After listening to Xiao Ping's introduction, some of the businessmen quickly left. Their businesses are all within the areas mentioned by Xiao Ping, and they all want to seize the right to sell some vegetables before their competitors.

Merchants in Europe, Africa, and other parts of Asia think even more. They all hope to cooperate with Xiao Ping and become a local supplier of this vegetable. However, there are too many details involved in this kind of cooperation, and it is obvious that nothing can be said in the current chaotic exposition. What's more, there are many competitors around, and no one will be stupid enough to discuss the details of cooperation with Xiao Ping here and now.

These businessmen just exchanged contact information with Xiao Ping, and repeatedly said that when the time is right, they will take the initiative to contact him to discuss more intimate cooperation, and then reluctantly leave.

In the first two days of the expo, I don't know how many times the same situation was repeated, so that Xiao Ping's voice was a little hoarse. He only made a preliminary estimate that there are at least 100 companies with which he has the intention of cooperating, and there is a thick pile of business cards he receives, and he has to sort them out for a while every day when he goes back.

And Xiao Ping's hard work is not without gains. In addition to getting to know these potential partners, it is more important to make his "Xianhu" and "Shengju" brands accepted by more people. The vast majority of these people are professionals in this circle. Some of them are the owners or upper management of big food companies, the chefs of high-end restaurants, veteran foodies and even the hosts of food shows.

With the recognition of these people, several brands under Xiao Ping's name can more easily break into the circle of high-end food industry and be accepted by people in the world more quickly.

The two days of free time passed quickly, and the third day was the highlight of the fair, the judging day. On this day, the judging panel of the organizing committee will judge the gold, silver and bronze awards in each category according to the different types of ingredients.

This is the most important honor for all exhibitors participating in the fair, even if it is only to win a bronze award, it can also be a huge help to enhance the brand image. Some exhibitors won awards for the ingredients they sent to the exhibition, and then quickly developed into one of the largest companies in their industry. There are such examples almost every year, and exhibitors hope that they can have such good luck.

Because it involves the gambling contract between the De Niro family and Xiao Ping, this year's judging day is particularly noteworthy. There are even bookmakers who have opened a market for this, and it is said that there are many people who bet.

In such an atmosphere of great anticipation, the judging day finally arrived. (To be continued.) )

PS: Thank you for the book friend "Fearless So-called", "Xie Zhixiu" for the reward.
