Chapter 2049 Sharpening the Knife
Chu Heng arrived at the Ministry of Foreign Trade quickly. After finding a place to park the car, he got out of the car with his bulging bag and walked quickly into the office building.
A moment later, he came to his office. Not long after hearing the news, Xiao Wenjing came over with a piece of information.
"Comrade Chu Heng, this is the list you want." She put the information on the desk, which recorded some of the merchants living in the Four-Nine City Hotel given by the following major export companies. A list of staff from various embassies requested from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
"Oh, okay, you have to go if you are busy. I will look at the list first and call you when something happens."
"Okay, then I'll go back to the office first."
"Walk slowly."
Xiao Wenjing left in a hurry.
Chu Heng picked up the information she sent and studied it carefully.
The list he wanted was to select the judges for the truffle sauce tasting competition, so it was very targeted. It only included people from some Western countries where truffle sauce is more popular, such as Albania, the Czech Republic, and Xiaoba The embassy staff and merchants in some places such as Ga, Hong Kong Island and other places are not within the scope of his consideration.
Because these places either have no market or are simply poor, inviting them over will not be of much help to the tasting.
“Wow, wow!”
Chu Heng flipped through the list page by page, screening the judges based on the small amount of information given above, and it took him a long time to roughly finalize it.
In the end, he reduced the list of more than 200 people to more than 130 people, and added the Serbian Blair, whose father is a senior chef and has a deep research on truffles. After his name was added, Chu Heng came out of the office with the list and found Xiao Wenjing who was busy hitting the back of her head with her foot.
“Comrade Wen Jing.”
After handing the list to the other party, Chu Heng then ordered: "Everyone who is not circled on the list will be sent an invitation letter. In addition, the person I added at the end of the list must find a way to invite them." Come on, and after confirming the number of participants, remember to communicate with the venue in time."
"Okay, I'll go now."
Xiao Wenjing immediately took the list. Floor, I went to make invitations.
Chu Heng then turned away and went to find Ding Jilong. After the two communicated for a while, they set off for the Sijiucheng Hotel to check out the layout of the venue.
……
...
Xiao Wenjing moved very quickly. The day after Chu Heng finalized the list, she made the invitation letter overnight, and the next day, she sent the invitation letter to the invitees. .
Sijiucheng Hotel, Room 411.
“There are truffles in China?!” Gale Gree looked at the crudely made invitation in his hand in surprise.
This invitation letter was issued in the name of an agricultural products export company affiliated to the Ministry of Foreign Trade. The main message was that our company is developing truffle sauce and we sincerely invite him to participate in the tasting meeting.
Gale Gree is in his thirties and has thick brown hair. He is a purchasing specialist at a Sayles trading house in Italy. He has been responsible for the East Asian market for a long time and spends most of the year in China, Japan and South Korea. Round trip between three places.
He appeared here at this time because he received an invitation from the Instrument Import Corporation to discuss a communication equipment business. It was also a good time to receive the invitation letter.
“It’s really surprising.” In the room, Gree’s colleague Cornel Holt raised his eyebrows and grinned after reading the invitation: “I found that China is really a It’s a big market, it can always create some surprises for us.”
“It can also create a lot of profits for us.” Gree stared at the invitation thoughtfully, with a flash in his eyes. shrewd, film After a moment, he looked at his companion and asked, "What do you think?" "Of course I'm going to take a look. We have no problem selling this stuff. If it's really good, you can order some and try it." Holt As he spoke, a sinister smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he sharpened his knife and said: "But before that, we should find other people, discuss it in advance, and lower the price."
Series price reduction is a common method used by these Sun Zis. They took advantage of China's lack of information and single channels at that time, and often connected with each other to lower the price of certain Chinese products that they were optimistic about, or used the time difference caused by process troubles to raise China's prices. The price of a certain product you want to purchase, and then everyone will make a fortune together.
“Dong dong dong.”
At this moment, the door suddenly knocked, and the two looked at each other and smiled.
"It seems that someone has the same idea as you." Gresh suddenly stood up and opened the door. The person who came was a purchasing specialist from a French firm named Riad Nour. Both parties Much cooperation.
"Have you also received the invitation letter?" Nuer asked Fang as soon as they met.
"Of course." Holt, who was sitting inside, smiled and shook the simple invitation in his hand.
"What do you think of Chinese truffles? Are you interested?"
"Of course you are."
"Very good, let's have a good chat." ”
……
In the blink of an eye, the day came when the truffle sauce tasting meeting was held, and a full week had passed since Chu Zhile’s Full Moon Wine.
Xu Damao also successfully completed his job transfer during this period. He is currently an ordinary clerk in the winery project team of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, with a level 24 cadre salary and a monthly salary of 45.
He officially joined the job yesterday, and today is his second day at work. Since he has never been exposed to this aspect of work before, he currently has no specific affairs, so Chu Heng assigned him to Yin Gao. Bring people to a truffle tasting to see the world.
The tasting meeting started at 12 noon today, and Chu Heng came over early before 8 o'clock in the morning.
As a frequent visitor here, he parked his car somewhere and was let in without even showing his work ID when he came to the door.
"Thank you."
Waving to the doorman, Chu Heng slipped into the lobby and took the elevator to the banquet hall on the fourth floor.
All the members of the temporary team he formed at the Ministry of Foreign Trade have arrived, including Xu Damao. He had just transferred his job and immediately spent a lot of money to buy a four-pocket cadre uniform yesterday afternoon. It still looks like the same thing, human and dog-like.
At this time, Xu Damao was following Yin Gao and watching the others curiously.
“Comrade Chu Heng.”
Seeing Chu Heng coming, Xiao Wenjing immediately stepped forward and reported to him: "Someone from the agricultural product company contacted me yesterday afternoon and said that a businessman came to them and wanted to buy some fresh truffles. What do you think?" br>
“What price were you given?” Chu Heng asked casually while looking at the venue.
"I haven't given a price yet. What I mean is to see what the things look like first, and then set a price."
"Then send them a batch of samples and tell the agricultural product company. "People, don't rush the price negotiation now. When I'm free, I'll talk to those grandsons myself." Chu Heng licked his teeth, his teeth white.
“Okay.”
