Chapter 241: Before Going to the United States
Ramsey's words surprised Xiao Ping, he was on the phone with Jessica half a month ago, and he didn't hear her talk about resigning, so he hurriedly asked the angry chef: "Why did she quit suddenly? What happened?"
Ramsey replied casually: "It seems that something happened to her family, and when she heard that Jessica's father failed to invest in gems, she quit her job and went home to help sell the family ranch so that her father would not end up in jail." /”
For Ramsey, Jessica was just an ordinary clerk and didn't pay much attention to her. Moreover, Americans don't care much about other people's private affairs, so Ramsey can only say a rough idea.
Xiao Ping had a very good impression of this blonde and blue-eyed beautiful reporter, and when he heard that her family was in trouble, he couldn't help but be a little worried. After saying goodbye to Ramsay's Red House Western Restaurant, Xiao Ping found an opportunity to call Jessica.
It was already night when Xiao Ping called, but it was daytime in the United States. Jessica answered the phone quickly, although her tone was still as cheerful as ever, Xiao Ping, who was at the tip of her ear, still heard Jessica's voice a little hoarse, indicating that her recent situation was not too smooth.
"Yo, how are you doing?" Xiao Ping asked with a smile, "I heard Ramsey say today that something happened to your family and you resigned?"
Seeing that Xiao Ping called as soon as he knew that he had resigned, Jessica's heart was sweet, but she deliberately said in a dissatisfied tone: "This is my private matter, do you know that it is very rude for Lu Dao to inquire about other people's private affairs?"
Xiao Ping was the most relaxed when talking to Jessica, and immediately said with a smile: "What is the relationship between the two of us, isn't it normal for me to care about your private affairs?"
Jessica said coquettishly: "Who has anything to do with you, don't talk nonsense!"
Xiao Ping knew that Jessica was a mouthful of unforgiving masters, and if he just talked to her, he would talk until dawn, so he took the initiative to change the topic and said, "I heard that you are selling your family's ranch?"
"What, you're interested?" Jessica asked amusedly.
Xiao Ping replied honestly: "Yes, I just want to buy a ranch." ”
"Hehe, don't be kidding. Jessica smiled on the other end of the phone. However, she soon realized that Xiao Ping didn't seem to be talking nonsense, and couldn't help but stop laughing and ask, "Are you serious?"
Xiao Ping said helplessly: "In your eyes, am I such an unserious person?"
Jessica has been worrying about selling her farm lately. The news that Xiao Ping was going to buy a farm was too timely for her. However, after thinking about it for a while, the American chick lightly rejected Xiao Ping: "I'm sorry, I can't sell the ranch to you." ”
Xiao Ping asked in surprise, "Hey, what is this for?"
Jessica was silent for a moment. Then he calmly said, "Because I don't want to owe you a favor." I hope that when I see you in the future, I can get along with you as an equal. ”
Americans are straightforward, they can say whatever they want, Xiao Ping couldn't help but laugh when he heard it: "You think I want to help you, so I deliberately said that I want to buy a ranch?"
"Isn't it?" Jessica was confident in her judgment.
"You're mistaken, I'm really planning to buy the ranch. Xiao Ping patiently explained: "I just heard that your family's ranch is going to be sold, so I'll look for you first." There is an old Chinese saying that 'fertile water does not leave outsiders' fields', have you always heard of this?"
Xiao Ping explained that it was a big deal to make Jessica believe that she didn't just want to buy the ranch just to help her. In fact, the American chick has been busy selling the ranch recently, and she can't wait to ask, "When will you come to the United States?"
Xiao Ping has already been out of the country once. was already quite familiar with this set of procedures, and immediately comforted Jessica: "I asked Ramsey to send an invitation letter." It is faster to apply for a business visa, and strive to rush over as soon as possible. ”
"You're so good!" Jessica's timely appearance made Jessica feel good, she kissed Xiao Ping heavily on the other end of the phone, and then hung up happily.
Xiao Ping immediately called Ramsey and told him that he planned to go to the United States to buy a ranch, and asked Ramsay to help him apply for a visa for a business trip. Ramsey had just signed a cooperation agreement with Xiao Ping, and when he learned the news that he was going to the United States to run a ranch, he was naturally overjoyed and agreed to Xiao Ping's request. Ramsey has a lot of high-end restaurants in the United States. Xiao Ping's career to the United States will undoubtedly benefit these restaurants.
Since you have to go far away. Xiao Ping naturally had to deal with the work at hand. The vegetables supplied to Rìben and Australia should be prepared, and the work on the farm should be properly arranged. One of the most troublesome is the work of adding spiritual liquid on a regular basis, and Xiao Ping entrusted this matter to Wang Cannon.
Xiao Ping gave Wang Dacang the spiritual liquid that had been in the vial, and told him very seriously that the chickens, fish, and fruit trees in the farm grew so well, and this "high-tech nutrient solution" was inseparable. At the same time, Xiao Ping also tactfully reminded Wang Dacang that this is the biggest secret of himself and the farm, and if it is leaked, everyone will lose their competitive advantage, so please keep it secret.
Being able to get such trust from the boss, Wang Dacang was so excited that he couldn't even speak, but he just reassured Xiao Ping and said that he would never live up to his trust. After carefully asking about the use of this "high-tech nutrient solution", Wang Cannon tightly clutched the vial containing the spiritual liquid and walked away with words in his mouth.
Xiao Ping was very satisfied that Wang Dacang attached so much importance to this matter, Wang Dacang was the person he trusted the most in the farm, and Xiao Ping was still very relieved to hand over this work to him.
While waiting for the visa, a big event happened in the farm - the Ferrari that Lin Zukang promised to give to Xiao Ping was delivered.
Xiao Ping thought that Lin Zukang gave him just an ordinary Ferrari, but the truth surprised him. It wasn't a Ferrari dealer who delivered the car to the farm, but Ferrari staff and even a sales executive. With such a big splash at the Ferrari headquarters, it was impossible to send just a regular Ferrari, in fact they sent the latest Ferrari 2013 model...... This car is a commemorative edition of the last decade of the Ferrari company, and is limited to 499 units worldwide. Equipped with an advanced kinetic energy recovery system, the maximum output is 963 horsepower, the top speed is more than 350 kilometers per hour, and the acceleration from zero to 100 kilometers is less than three seconds, and the acceleration to 300 kilometers is also in ten seconds, making it the most advanced road sports car.
Of course, the price of a car that can be so good is very expensive, even in Europe, it has been sold for 1 million euros, and if you buy it in China, plus tariffs and other expenses, you can't even think about it without 20 million yuan. And this car is not something you can buy if you have money, after all, it is a global limited edition, and it is generally a powerful tycoon, or a celebrity who is eligible to book. Ferrari also had to conduct a rigorous inspection of the customer before deciding whether to sell the car to the customer. It is also thanks to Lin Zukang's huge influence in Southeast Asia that he can ask Ferrari to deliver the car to the farm with a phone call.
The reason why Xiao Ping is so familiar with the xìng of this car is because he has seen it on the Internet...... Global news. Most men like good cars, and Xiao Ping was no exception, and he was attracted to this one at that time. However, he knew very well in his heart that he was absolutely not qualified to buy this car, and he could only drool over the pictures on the computer.
didn't expect Lin Zukang to give him such a good car, Xiao Ping was pleasantly surprised, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, saying that this old gentleman was really right. Ordinary people are reluctant to give away this car, which is not only a matter of money, but also a matter of face.
At first, the sales executive of Ferrari was a little unhappy about the customer's change of delivery address, but when he saw the modified pickup truck in the parking lot, his doubts were immediately dispelled. The sales supervisor also knows how to know how to order cars, and he knows that he can modify the car into such a customer, and he will definitely not be a layman who doesn't understand cars, this ...... In the hands of such a customer, it is not too aggrieved.
When the sales director accompanied Xiao Ping to test drive the car, he was more sure of his previous judgment. Xiao Ping's skills are astonishing, with every acceleration, braking, gear shift, and change of direction being just right, and the cāo control is also very good at it, and it is on par with most professional drivers.
And Xiao Ping also enjoyed the drive. A top-of-the-line sports car is extraordinary, and while it's a production car, the Cāo Xìng is even better than that modified pickup. In particular, the huge push back feeling when accelerating and the jīng sure xìng when steering cāo control really make driving a pleasure.
After the test drive, Xiao Ping signed his name on the receipt form, this car ...... and it became his chariot. Xiao Ping was also reluctant to park such a good car outside, but parked it in the garage of the villa. Fortunately, when the villa was renovated, the garage was planned to be large enough to park two cars without being too crowded.
With the invitation letter from Chef Ramsey, Xiao Ping's visa was processed smoothly and was completed within a few days. After booking the ticket, Xiao Ping planned to say hello to several confidantes, after all, the time to go to the United States this time will not be too short, and he may be outside for a few months.
Xiao Ping called Li Wanqing first, and wanted to make an appointment to meet her before leaving. But Li Wanqing said that she was in Hong Kong, and she was afraid that she would not be able to come recently. So Xiao Ping called Zhang Yuxin again, but the latter was still in the United States and had not returned, so it was naturally impossible to meet or anything.
These two phone calls made Xiao Ping's heart a little heavy. He could feel that although Zhang Yuxin and Li Wanqing acquiesced to the current situation, they still had some resistance in their hearts, so they both deliberately avoided themselves.
Xiao Ping is the culprit of this situation, and naturally he is not qualified to blame the two. However, Xiao Ping had to admit that this taste was indeed very uncomfortable. He sat stunned for a while, and then dialed the third number, but this time it was to Song Lei. RQ
