Chapter 607: Pierre goes bankrupt

Li Wanqing soon entered the role and began to show good work ability. In the name of Xianhu Company, she hired two like-minded friends she had met when she was a volunteer before, and soon put up the shelves of the public welfare division.

At present, the most important task of the Public Welfare Division is naturally to apply for the approval of the Charity Fund. This is not an easy task, and Li Wanqing has been busy with this matter for several days.

Although the work has been very hard in recent days, every time Xiao Ping sees Li Wanqing, he can find that her pretty face is full of happy smiles. This also reassured Xiao Ping a lot, as long as Li Wanqing was happy, nothing else was a problem.

Li Wanqing has a new pursuit, and Xiao Ping certainly can't stand still.

Since sending off the delegation of foreign companies, Xiao Ping has begun to worry about the company's new products. In order to be more popular in the European market, Xiao Ping promised those foreigners that the Xianhu company would successively launch high-quality foie gras and caviar. Judging from the current situation, Xiao Ping decided to put the caviar aside for the time being, and focus on getting the foie gras out first.

For Xiao Ping, who has always taken the high-quality route, every detail must be done the best. For example, to cultivate foie gras fat goose breeds, it is necessary to use the goose species that are recognized as the best in the world.

Xiao Ping is of course a layman in this regard, but he has an insider friend, that is, Pierre, a Frenchman who runs a Western restaurant. The company's launch of foie gras was a big deal, and for the sake of prudence, Xiao Ping personally drove to Pierre's restaurant in the provincial capital, intending to ask him for advice in person.

However, when Xiao Ping drove to Pierre's Raffles Western Restaurant, he was shocked by the scene in front of him. During the lunch rush hour, Raffles Restaurant is crowded with guests. Even the doorman who opened the door was gone.

Xiao Ping noticed that a revelation had been posted on the door, and he approached it curiously. I found that the words "store transfer" were actually written on it. This surprised Xiao Ping very much, what happened. How did you let a restaurant that used to have a good business close down?

Xiao Ping hurriedly dialed Pierre's phone, and asked anxiously without waiting for the Frenchman to speak: "Lao Pi, is your restaurant closed?"

"I plan to tell you this in a few days. Pierre's voice was a little low, and he didn't correct himself as usual that he was not surnamed "Pi", but said with a wry smile: "I'm bankrupt and I have to sell the restaurant to pay off the debt." ”

Xiao Ping hurriedly said: "I'm just outside your restaurant, where are you, let's talk in person." ”

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while, and the closed door of the restaurant opened. Pierre poked his head out and said to Xiao Ping, "Come in." ”

Xiao Ping and the Frenchman sat down face to face in the messy restaurant, and couldn't wait to ask: "What the hell is going on, isn't the restaurant running well, why did you go bankrupt?"

"It was my investment in France that failed. A haggard Pierre shrugged and said, "I have to sell this shop in order to repay the bank loan." Otherwise, the Bank of France would have prosecuted me, and I would have become an international fugitive. ”

didn't expect Pierre to encounter such an unlucky thing, and Xiao Ping couldn't help but secretly feel sorry for him. To be honest, in addition to loving and hugging people, the French are still very good. Xiao Ping's truffle business began here at Pierre. Pierre honestly told Xiao Ping that his truffles were of very good quality and should be auctioned to maximize their value.

Thanks to Pierre's advice, Xiao Ping was able to accumulate more wealth in the shortest possible time. In this regard. The French also helped Xiao Ping a lot.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ping decided to help Pierre tide over the difficulties, so he considered his words and said: "I said Lao Pi, your restaurant is running so well." What a shame it was to turn it off at once. How much do you owe to the bank? I'll pay it for you. ”

"No, no. Pierre shook his head and said, "Xiao." I know you're doing this to help me. But we are friends, and friends can work together. But no favor can be given. Otherwise, I will deliberately distance myself from you because I am embarrassed, and our friendship will end because of it. ”

didn't expect Pierre to say this, Xiao Ping could only propose another plan: "Or I'll lend you money, and you pay interest when you pay back the money." As long as you're still running this restaurant, you'll always pay it off sooner or later. ”

"No, no, that's not good. Pierre still refused Xiao Ping and said: "Xiao, I know that you have good intentions, but I am an adult, and I will bear the mistakes I make, so you don't have to worry about it." ”

Pierre's words also made Xiao Ping secretly smile bitterly, he didn't expect that he was in a hurry to lend money to others and was rejected, which was really ridiculous. However, since the French were so resolute, Xiao Ping no longer insisted on lending him money, but just patted Pierre on the shoulder and said, "Since you have decided, then I won't say anything more." If you need my help, just ask, and don't forget that we are friends. ”

"Don't worry, if you really need help, I'm not welcome. Pierre's mood seemed to be a little better, and he asked Xiao Ping instead: "A busy person like you wouldn't come to talk to me, right, what's the matter?"

"Actually, I'm really here for your help. Xiao Ping said with a smile: "I am going to enter the European market, and I plan to prepare some products that are popular in the local market first, and fatty foie gras is of course my first choice." Do you know that my attitude towards the company's products is that I will not just find some geese to cultivate foie gras, so I specially asked you, which goose is most suitable for cultivating foie gras?"

This question involved Pierre's professional field, so he immediately came to his senses, and nodded to Xiao Ping again and again: "You are right to ask me this question, the best goose species for cultivating fat foie gras is, of course, the Lander goose!"

"Lande goose?" Xiao Ping had never heard of this kind of goose, so he couldn't help but ask.

"Native to the Landes department in southwestern France, this goose is a large, fast-growing breed that is the most suitable breed for foie gras. Pierre gushes about this: "I have used many varieties of foie gras, but the Landes goose has the best quality, and if you want to introduce it to the market, you have to use it." ”

Xiao Ping did not doubt Pierre's professionalism at all, and immediately asked, "Where can I get the breeding geese of the Landes goose?"

"There are also many places in the country that sell breeding geese. Pierre muttered: "But if you want to get an authentic Landes goose, you naturally have to go to Landes Province." I've already found a buyer for my restaurant, and I'll be able to complete the formalities in about a month, and then I'll have to go back to France to deal with the debt. If you wish, we can go to France together, and then I will be your guide, and go to the Landes department to find the best breeding geese!" (to be continued......)
