Chapter 603: Inspecting the Farmstead
As the formal inspection activities are about to begin, everyone in the company is busy and about to fly. Everyone wants to divide themselves into two or even three people to work, otherwise they simply can't cope with so many things.
According to Xiao Ping's private statement, in the past few days, the company has used women as men and men as livestock. But even so, everyone still felt that there was not enough time, and the company's top management was so busy that they didn't even have time to eat.
Fortunately, Xiao Ping allocated a batch of health oral liquid in time and supplied it to the busy employees for free. The efficacy of oral liquids is undoubted, and thanks to these miraculous oral liquids, many people are able to cope with such a busy work.
"When this field trip is over, remember to remind me that I have to pay bonuses to all the employees who participated. Xiao Ping deliberately said this to Zhong Weirong in public in the company, which greatly boosted the morale of the employees.
In fact, although everyone worked hard during the trip, everyone was very motivated. After all, there are few companies in Suzhou City that can allow foreign companies to come to visit in groups, and now Xianhu Company has become one of the most famous enterprises in Suzhou City. If anyone says that he works in the fairy pot company, he will immediately attract a lot of envious eyes. This makes all employees feel honored, and it is not so important to have a hard time.
A total of 16 foreign companies participated in the study, including 11 European companies, three Asian companies and two African companies. Because Xianhu already has partners in the Americas and Australia, none of the companies in these two places have come.
After all the company representatives arrived, Xiao Ping held a reception at the Garden Hotel to welcome the people who came to inspect the hotel.
In addition to the host and guests, the reception was attended. Officials from the China Merchants Office and some media reporters were also invited. Although it was explained to reporters in advance that interviews were absolutely not allowed at the reception. Among the guests that the reporters still recognized were indeed the senior executives of several multinational companies, and even a president was present in person.
Now the reporters all know that this time they have encountered big news. Although interviews are forbidden for now, they are all deeply excited and determined to follow the news to the end.
As for the officials of the investment promotion office, they are even happier. Although the high-level executives of these large companies came to inspect the Xianhu Company, it did not prevent them from inspecting other parts of Suzhou City. If one or two of these companies can be persuaded to invest in Suzhou City, it will also be a great political achievement, right?
So at the reception, the officials were full of spring breeze and greeted every foreigner they met warmly. As long as there is an opportunity to introduce the situation of Sioux City to the other party, I try my best to invite them to other places to investigate.
As the host of this cocktail party, Xiao Ping naturally also had to attend. Accustomed to seeing big scenes, he has become very accustomed to this kind of occasion, shuttling between guests. Chatting with everyone seems to be very easy.
However, Xiao Ping soon found out that Zhao Mingjian of the public relations department had a bad face, as if he was angry with someone. He immediately walked over without a trace and reminded Zhao Mingjian in a low voice: "Don't keep a straight face, as if others owe you money, it's not good for the guests to see it." Who are you angry with?"
"It's not those people who attract investment!" Zhao Mingjian barely squeezed out a smile, and said to Xiao Ping angrily: "When they catch a foreigner, they will pull people to invest in it, and dare to love the cocktail party we have spent a lot of effort on." Instead, it has become a merchant association for these people!"
Xiao Ping looked at the officials of the investment promotion office who circled around the foreigners like flies, and smiled generously at Zhao Mingjian: "Anyway, those foreigners are only interested in our company, and others can't pull them away." These people just want to do their job, so let them go!"
With the gradual development and growth of the fairy pot company. Xiao Ping also paid more attention to the relationship with the local government. Letting the people from the China Merchants Office participate in this reception was proposed by Zhao Zheng, the deputy mayor in charge of the economy in Su City, and of course Xiao Ping would not refuse. Anyway, he has absolute self-confidence. No one can snatch a partner from themselves.
As a matter of fact, representatives of foreign companies are not interested in the introduction of officials from the investment promotion office. Talking to them out of politeness. It didn't take long for the guests to run out of patience and leave the talkative officials behind. Ask someone from the fairy pot company when the inspection will officially start.
As the owner of the cocktail party, Xiao Ping announced to everyone in a timely manner that he would arrange for everyone to visit the company's farm tomorrow, so that everyone could see the planting mode of Xianhu brand vegetables and fruits with their own eyes. This arrangement was warmly welcomed by all the foreigners, and everyone expressed their appreciation for the high efficiency of the fairy pot company, and then found a reason to leave and go back to rest.
Most of them just arrived in Suzhou City today, and they didn't even have the jet lag reversed, and they just came to the drinking party to know when the Lu Dao inspection officially began. Now that he has heard the exact news, he naturally has no interest in continuing to stay.
It didn't take long for the foreigners to almost leave, only reporters and people from the investment promotion office were left, and even Xiao Ping found a chance to leave. Since the protagonists are gone, there is no need for the others to stay, and soon all the guests are gone.
The next morning, a long line of cars drove up to the parking lot of Xianhu Farm, and almost all of them got out of the cars, almost all of them were white-skinned and high-nosed Europeans, and two dark-skinned Africans - the expedition finally began.
It is quite a rare thing that so many blonde and blue-eyed foreigners come to the farm at once. However, the workers had been notified in advance, so they all seemed relatively calm. They just do their own work and almost ignore this group of foreigners.
Comparatively speaking, the members of the delegation were much more excited. Most of them have already seen Xiao Ping's jade vegetables at the Food Expo in New York. However, when I saw a large number of the same vegetables neatly planted in the vegetable greenhouse, I couldn't help but let out a burst of amazement. For these businessmen in the vegetable business, this situation is too shocking.
After seeing the real vegetables, the problems of foreigners gradually increased.
A representative carefully observed the facilities of the vegetable greenhouse, and after confirming that this was an ordinary vegetable greenhouse, he was the first to ask Xiao Ping: "Mr. Xiao, are there any special requirements for planting these vegetables?
Xiao Ping had long expected that someone would ask such a question, and smiled at everyone: "Today, there are a few vegetables in the greenhouse that are just going to be fertilized and watered, everyone will understand by taking a look." ”
While everyone was talking, a few workers came to the greenhouse with several carts and scattered the gray-brown powdery objects in the carts evenly on the ground.
Xiao Ping explained to everyone: "This is the fertilizer we use, this organic fertilizer comes from the farm's chicken farm, and it is all natural and does not add any chemicals. If you're interested, I'll take you to the chicken farm in a moment. ”
When introducing the origin of these fertilizers to everyone, Xiao Ping found that many foreigners secretly grabbed some fertilizers and put them in their pockets, apparently planning to bring them back for analysis and analysis.
Xiao Ping has no intention of stopping this kind of behavior at all, anyway, the car is just rotten chicken manure, and the farm usually uses this kind of fertilizer, and there is no secret at all. Since the executives of these grandfathers' companies were willing to put chicken manure into the pockets of their high-end suits and bring them back to China, Xiao Ping also went with them.
All the members of the delegation waited patiently until the workers had finished fertilizing and watched with interest as they watered the vegetables. The water used to water the farms has always been drawn directly from the Xiaozhou River, and this time is no exception. A group of foreigners carefully checked the hose that put water into the greenhouse, and made sure that the water in the pipe did indeed come directly from Xiaozhou River, and they couldn't help but be amazed. They didn't expect that the vegetables that won the gold medal at the New York Food Fair were actually grown in such an ordinary environment, which is really surprising.
In addition to the surprise, the crowd was also more interested in these vegetables. Being able to grow them in a normal environment means that these vegetables are more profitable, which is a great thing for all companies.
When everyone's discussion gradually stopped, Xiao Ping said confidently: "I believe you have seen that the key to growing these vegetables is the seed rather than the planting method. We can even state in the contract that the vegetables only need to be grown in the ordinary way, so you can rest assured. ”
The so-called facts speak louder than words, if Xiao Ping said so from the beginning, there must not be too many people who believe him. But now there are real-life examples in front of him, and everyone has no objection to his words.
Next, Xiao Ping took everyone to visit the fish pond, orchard and chicken farm. Whether it's the precious saury in the fish pond, the rare green laying hens in the chicken farm, or the fruitful orchard, all these places seem to be vibrant, and there are unexpected surprises everywhere, which let these foreigners understand the strength of the fairy pot company.
After a careful inspection of the farm, everyone became more interested in the fairy pot company, and their desire to cooperate with Xiao Ping became stronger. As long as you use ordinary methods, you can grow such high-quality vegetables, which is undoubtedly very attractive to all companies.
That night, Xiao Ping specially entertained all the members of the delegation, and all the dishes at the banquet were made of ingredients produced in the farm, and the taste was naturally good. In the face of such a delicious taste, a group of foreigners didn't even care about their image, and they all threw off their cheeks and ate a lot. While eating, everyone praised the agricultural products of Xianhu Company as worthy of being the champion of the Food Expo, so they were able to make such delicious dishes, and the desire to cooperate with Xianhu Company was more urgent.
Although the representatives of these companies drank a lot of wine at the banquet, no one rested after the dinner. All the representatives reported to the headquarters what they had seen and heard today, and urgently discussed what conditions the company could accept in exchange for the qualification to cooperate with the Xianhu Company. It is destined to be a sleepless night for representatives of all foreign companies. (To be continued......)
