Chapter 154: Hideto Takahashi visits
After Xiao Ping and Ma Jie signed the contract, all the vegetables that had just been harvested were loaded into refrigerated trucks. Originally, Ma Jie still wanted to buy some green-shell eggs, but the chicken farm had just been expanded, and the newly hatched chicks had not yet begun to lay eggs, so there were no extra eggs for him for the time being, so he had no choice but to give up.
For this reason, Xiao Ping sent Ma Jie a few boxes of green-shell eggs to apologize, and promised to increase the production capacity of the chicken farm as soon as possible, which slightly resolved Ma Jie's regret.
Ma Jie asked the porter who came with the car to put the eggs into the refrigerated truck, and Xiao Ping said enviously when he saw this: "Mr. Ma, your company uses this kind of car to transport vegetables?"
"Of course!" Speaking of this, Ma Jie is also a little proud: "Our company has always been a full cold chain transportation, and the entire Yangtze River Delta and even East China are the only one! This is related to the survival of the enterprise, and it must not be careless!"
Ma Jie's words benefited Xiao Ping a lot, and he nodded in agreement, and then watched the black Mercedes and the refrigerated truck drive out of the farm.
The refrigerated truck had just pulled up the road outside, and two more cars slowly drove into the farm. Xiao Ping looked at the two high-end cars with some doubts, and couldn't help muttering: "What day is today, the high-end cars are coming together......"
As he spoke, the door of the previous sedan opened, and a man in a suit stepped out of it. Xiao Ping couldn't help but laugh when he saw this guy, isn't this the Japanese Hideto Takahashi who steals fish and can't make rice.
Hideto Takahashi also saw Xiao Ping, he squeezed out a reluctant smile on his face, and trotted over to say hello: "Xiao San." Long time no see, how have you been?"
The so-called "reach out and don't hit the smiling person", since Hideto Takahashi is so polite, Xiao Ping will not embarrass him, but said with a smile: "Thanks to you, I am very good." How's Mr. Takahashi?"
Seeing that Xiao Ping didn't seem to have the intention of revealing his old background, Takahashi Hideto secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'm not bad either." Xiao Sang. I have a great thing to tell you about my visit. After much effort, I was able to convince our president to make up his mind to buy your koi, and the deal was made at the price you offered. And the president came in person. It's in the car in the back!"
Of course, Xiao Ping knew that Hideto Takahashi was rushing to show his merits, just because he was afraid that he would release his confession video. In fact, Xiao Ping really had no such plans. So he immediately smiled at Hideto Takahashi and said, "Thank you really for your help." Don't worry, I won't treat my friends badly!"
Hideto Takahashi was able to get some assurance from Xiao Ping, and a big stone in his heart was also put down, and he hurriedly helped Xiao Ping introduce Ichiro Hirogen, the president of their fortunate Co., Ltd.
Hirogen Ichiro was a thin old man with very bright eyes, and he looked to be at least sixty years old. However, he was in good spirits, and as soon as he got out of the car, he walked quickly to Xiao Ping and greeted him in very fluent Chinese: "Mr. Xiao, fortunately! I heard that you have a very good koi here, so I took the liberty to visit." Please don't mind. ”
"Welcome. Xiao Ping has always been very polite to customers who come to send money, and then couldn't help but praise: "Mr. Guangyuan's Chinese is really good!"
"Mr. Xiao has won the prize. Hirogen Ichiro said with a little pride: "I was the first batch of students from Japan to come to China, and later I have been committed to promoting Sino-Japanese friendly exchanges, and Chinese has been practiced for so many years. ”
Guangyuan Ichiro came all the way over, but not to get close to Xiao Pingtao. The two chatted for a while. He offered to see the two pairs of koi. Of course, it is a legitimate request for customers to see the goods, and Xiao Ping immediately took Hirogen Ichiro to the garden in front of the villa, and now the two pairs of koi fish are kept in the fish pond in the garden.
As soon as Ichiro Hirogen arrived at the fish pond, his eyes were attracted by the koi fish in it. He squatted on the edge of the pool regardless of his image, his eagle-like eyes staring closely at the two pairs of koi, which made Xiao Ping a little worried that the old man would jump into the pool desperately to catch fish in the next second.
Ichiro Hirogen squatted by the pool for more than half an hour. Xiao Ping began to worry about whether he would suddenly have a cerebral hemorrhage when he stood up. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Xiao Ping moved a chair over for Ichiro Guangyuan to sit on. Hirogen Ichiro thanked Xiao Ping very politely, and then his attention quickly returned to the koi. From beginning to end, Hirogen Ichiro watched it for an hour, finally raised his head and breathed a heavy sigh of relief, and then muttered something in Japanese.
Of course, Xiao Ping couldn't understand Japanese, but he could understand the satisfied look on Hirogen Ichiro's face, and he knew that there was no big problem with this deal. Sure enough, after Guangyuan Ichiro sighed, he immediately said to him: "Mr. Xiao, I want these two pairs of koi! Just trade at the price you offered, five million yuan, do you want cash or check?"
If it had been placed more than half a year ago, five million yuan would have been enough to make Xiao Ping so happy that he lost his temper, but now he can smile very calmly: "Check, so much cash is too troublesome, I don't know when Mr. Lu Dao Guangyuan will come to transport these two pairs of fish?"
"Immediately, immediately!" Guangyuan Ichiro said impatiently: "I'll arrange a vehicle to transport it now!"
As long as the Japanese were willing to pay, Xiao Ping had no problem with when they would transport the koi, and immediately nodded in agreement. So Ichiro Hirogen instructed Hideto Takahashi and them in Japanese, and his attendants immediately got busy, and they all took out their phones and chattered. For a while, the garden was filled with Japanese, as if they were filming a TV series in the genre of the Anti-Japanese War.
It didn't take long for Hideto Takahashi to report the tension to Ichiro Hirogen, and the old Japanese man said to Xiao Ping in Chinese: "The fish truck will arrive in three hours, and my subordinates and I may have to disturb Mr. Xiao during this time." ”
As he spoke, Ichiro Hirogen gestured to Hideto Takahashi, who immediately gave Xiao Ping the check that had been prepared for a long time. For the sake of the five million, Xiao Ping also said generously: "There is nothing to do, there is nothing to do, everyone is welcome to my farm as guests." ”
But although he said that, Xiao Ping glanced at his watch without a trace, and found that it was already more than eleven o'clock, and couldn't help but complain in his heart: "These Japanese are really ignorant, seeing that it is already lunch time, but they said that they would wait here for three hours, isn't this forcing me to invite them to lunch!"
Although Xiao Ping was a little dissatisfied, he still decided to carry forward the fine tradition of the Chinese nation of paying attention to etiquette and invite these Japanese to lunch. After all, people have just consumed five million, and it is not a loss to invite them to a meal.
Thinking of this, Xiao Ping smiled and said to Guangyuan Ichiro: "Mr. Guangyuan, since the car will take three hours to arrive, it is better to have a light meal in the farm." All the vegetables are grown on the farm, and it is difficult to eat outside. ”
Guangyuan Ichiro also smiled when he heard this: "Then it will trouble Mr. Xiao." ”
A total of six people, including Ichiro Hirogen, came to the farm. Coupled with Xiao Ping himself, this lunch will have to be made for seven people, which is really a bit troublesome. After nearly an hour of busyness, the meals were finally ready, and Xiao Ping politely invited everyone to lunch.
Xiao Ping is not wrong about one thing, the food in the farm is indeed difficult to eat outside. Although it was just a few simple dishes, it made Ichiro Hirogen and others feast, and even the well-informed Ichiro Hirogen ate endlessly, and even made an exception to eat half a bowl of rice more than usual.
Everyone swept away the dishes on their plates, and then stopped their chopsticks. Guangyuan Ichiro asked Xiao Ping with interest: "Mr. Xiao, this is the most delicious meal I have had since I came to your country, is there any reason for this?"
"The only reason is that I use vegetables and eggs from my farm. Xiao Ping replied honestly: "Don't underestimate these vegetables and eggs, they are very popular in this city and provincial capital." Do you still remember the refrigerated truck you saw when you first arrived at the farm? It was specially brought by Shencheng to pull the goods, and now all kinds of agricultural products produced by the farm are in short supply, and it is not that regular customers cannot buy them at all. ”
Xiao Ping's words made Hirogen Ichiro interested, and asked him, "Mr. Xiao, can I visit the farm?"
Considering that Ichiro Guangyuan is the owner of a large Japanese company, Xiao Ping felt that this was also a good opportunity to advertise for free, and of course he agreed. After taking Ichiro Hirogen around the farm, the old Japanese man became more interested in the vegetables he grown.
After all, Japanese cuisine is also very particular about color and shape, and the vegetables produced in the farm meet both conditions perfectly, not to mention the intoxicating deliciousness. Ichiro Hirogen was fortunate to be a large company, and his business scope also included agricultural products, so he immediately thought about whether he could export the vegetables from the farm to Japan and sell them. However, Ichiro Hirogen is an experienced entrepreneur after all, and it is impossible to make a decision that affects the company's operation because of a hot head, and he can't help but sigh after calming down.
Seeing the old man in Japan happy and worried, Xiao Ping couldn't help but ask curiously: "Mr. Guangyuan, what's wrong with you?"
"I was originally interested in working with you, Mr. Xiao, to introduce the vegetables produced by your farm to Japanese consumers. Guangyuan Ichiro didn't hide it from Xiao Ping, shook his head and sighed: "It's a pity that if you want to transport such a good vegetable to Japan, it will definitely not work by sea, and the logistics cost will be too high if you ship it by air." Imported fresh vegetables have to go through the quarantine of the customs, so thinking about my plan is very unrealistic, I can only give up, regret!"
Hirogen Ichiro's words also disappointed Xiao Ping. This is an opportunity to enter the international market, and it just slipped away from my eyes. This also made Xiao Ping think further, could it be that the vegetables produced in the farm could only be sold near Su City, and could not be sold farther away or even abroad?
For Xiao Ping, who has great ambitions, this is not good news. He lowered his head and thought silently for a while, and then a flash of inspiration occurred in his mind to think of a solution to the problem.
