After medical care, sports and other public welfare industries have been eroded by major churches, the food industry, which was originally a private industry, is not to mention.
But considering food, the fact that the food industry is relatively fragmented and has low gross profit margins, if you really do business with your head down, the profits will be even lower. Moreover, human tastes are countless, and everyone has their own likes and dislikes.
Unification is both unrealistic and meaningless....
"...The Food Association is just a neutral evaluation agency. We will rate the food, snacks, and hotels in the city to facilitate customers to choose consumption places and merchants to set prices..."
The "tour guide" who led the way talked non-stop, but Lu Ping'an heard the subtext in his words.
"We don't produce products, but do we produce standards..."
This is the headquarters of the Ancient City Gourmet Association, and it is also a seventeen-story office building affiliated with the local "Lord of Harvest and Food" church... At this point in time, in an ancient city with very few high-rise buildings, this is from a certain
In this sense, it can be regarded as a landmark building, which further demonstrates its excessive wealth.
There are production standards to make money when producing goods, but to be honest, they are fundamentally different from the capitalists of a certain era...I want them all if they choose!
"In the ancient city, we have four large-scale food factories, including puffed food, pesticide-free green products, health medicines and more than 30 kinds of well-known products. In this year's annual tax filing, our group ranked seventh in the entire ancient city.
....."
The companies affiliated to Harvest and Food King naturally want to make real food, but they even have "specifications" and "standards" in place.
Just like when you go to buy some steamed buns on the road safely, you can see a steamed bun shop owner who is proud to have obtained the "B-Grade from the Gourmet Association".
By the way, the boss even casually introduced that he had purchased the production equipment and food formulas from a company affiliated to the Food Association... which meant that he had been taken care of from the beginning to the end.
Specifications, upstream and downstream equipment, evaluation mechanisms, flagship products, and downstream food stalls are not completely rounded off, but they are actually more terrifying than monopolies... They have an excellent reputation among the people, and the God of Food is obsessed with food.
, so that it has not had any quality incidents for many years, but ordinary restaurants often have problems.
Tie Zhenmei, as the honorary president of the food association in this region (not just in the ancient city), is also the chairman of the super enterprise Medela Food Company. His wealth is evident.
Now, this "Director Liu" is repeatedly emphasizing his group's tax contribution, and is also vaguely warning Lu Ping An and others to pay attention to the influence and not to act recklessly.
"...Forget it, I'm too lazy to turn around. You should already know the purpose of our coming." "Of course, I have heard of your name as the shadow captain of the third team of Zion, not to mention our former iron president... You know, in a sense, we are very close.
of."
Lu Pingan nodded, he was too lazy to beat around the bush.
"You also know about the previous 'Black Letter' incident. No matter what, we need an explanation..."
The black letter incident refers to an unexpected incident that occurred in the trading place one day ago.
Someone was shouting loudly in the hall of the trading place, demanding to trade with the local special service team and the special administration bureau, otherwise a terrorist attack like the "Battle of the TV Tower" would be created.
At that time, there "happened" to be a captain in the trading hall, and Captain Zhao tried to talk to her, and then...
"Fuck, wanted criminal Fang Wen."
The other party didn't act, so he revealed his identity in a few words, and at the same time, he gave a black letter, asking for the return of all the remains of his "treasure", including those taken away by Tie Zhenmei and Liu Zibei.
Indeed, Lu Ping'an's idea is brilliant... The Food Association will not care about the lives and lives of the people and will not threaten them, but the Alien Management Bureau will. Just force the Alien Management Bureau directly.
There were not many people on the trading floor at the beginning, but as soon as Tie Zhenmei was mentioned, it was normal for the person in charge of the food association in front of him to know about this... They were wealthy and never lacked spies.
The Irregular Affairs Bureau held an urgent meeting and called Lu Pingping and Xia Qin over to ask about the situation.
The development of the situation is also in Lu Ping'an's plan. The current Alien Management Bureau does not want to fight Fang Wen over some "trash", but what about the part that was taken away by the Food Association?
Then, what Lu Pingan expected happened. The work of negotiating with the Food Association was assigned to the Third Special Service Team, and Lu Pingan and Xia Qin were also named in charge.
This is not accidental, nor is it a random order from the Foreign Affairs Bureau, but...
"...If you suffer losses during the negotiations, you can report it afterwards. As long as it is not excessive, we can compensate you..."
Even if you don't say something, your superiors actually know it.
Hiding trophies privately is the norm for front-line soldiers. If you really strictly enforce the rules and force everyone to hand over their trophies, it will not only chill the soldiers who risk their lives, but also cause a series of potential problems.
, for example, the deeper level of work is not effective.
At that time, Tie Zhenmei fell on the battlefield of the final battle, and among the trophies seized by the Special Agents Bureau, there were only some low-level goods about him, which was obviously very abnormal... Nowadays, many special service teams and special agents
The leaders of the bureau all know that the third team has become a lot richer after this war, and several members have used silver equipment.
Moreover, when the Food Association accepted Tie Zhenmei's relics, it also asked for some "precious items"... Obviously, these became the spoils of the Third Special Service Team.
According to the unspoken rules of the industry, this is okay, everyone does it.
The increased strength of the special service team is also a good thing for the entire ancient city, especially the third special service team that has proven its loyalty and strength on the battlefield.
But now, since we need to negotiate with the Food Association, and maybe the other party will use the "trophies" as a bargaining chip, we naturally hand over the task to the Third Special Service Team.
"...You can figure it out. If it's not too much, we can make up for it afterwards..." The leader's words translated to almost this meaning.
Now that Lu Ping'an has come to negotiate, it depends on how big the other party's appetite is.
"...Our Guild Master Iron lost three forbidden silver items on the battlefield..."
Well, it seems that I have a big appetite.
"Some scrap iron and garbage, exchange for three pieces of silver? Did you take the wrong medicine?" Lu Ping'an was very direct, showing an expression of caring for the mentally retarded.
"That's not garbage, that's the peace of the ancient city."
Director Liu smiled confidently. This was their internally discussed decision. The minimum limit was two pieces of silver, especially a set of kitchen utensils belonging to Chairman Tie.
Their insider knew the inside story the moment the letter arrived at the Alien Management Bureau, and conducted an on-site survey of the situation, confirming that the other party did indeed have Chairman Tie's legacy.
If these holders weren't from the special service team, they would have come to ask for it.
Hearing this, Lu Pingan smiled. This was exactly as expected.
Lu Ping'an originally planned to negotiate with the Foreign Affairs Bureau in private, trying to bypass the Food Association's spy and reduce the cost of negotiation, but Xia Qin said something.
"Don't be stupid, they know faster than the task force captain. No one knows how many of their people are in the Alien Management Bureau. No information can be hidden from them."
As for their bid...
"Everyone, they will definitely want it all, they have never suffered a loss."
At that time, the silly cat added.
"After the two pieces of silver are handed over, will the Irregular Administration compensate us?"
"What are you thinking? Buying a stone with gold, and then going back to get the stone and reimburse the leader for the price of the gold? Not only will it make others doubt your ability, but also your IQ."
Most of what was expected happened, the only difference was...
"I seem to know that President Tie only has two pieces of silver on him."
"Oh, maybe I remembered it wrong. But I think President Tie's worth is not too much for three items." Director Liu's twin children flashed a greedy light.
The only thing I misjudged was probably their greed.
What else is there to talk about? There is no way to talk about it?
