"The detention of Lu Tiangui and others did not affect Fang Mingyuan's trip to Edinburgh.

Compared with the crowded tourist areas in China, in Scotland, traveling is a kind of spiritual enjoyment.

In the past few days, Fang Mingyuan and the others visited Edinburgh's St. Luther's Park, St. Elisabeth's Cathedral, Palace of Holyroodhouse, as well as Haddington and Gifford around Edinburgh, as well as the East End of England, which is thirty miles away from Edinburgh.

Dunbar is the most famous holiday and fishing resort on the coast. However, winter is not a good season for visiting Scotland. In a few days, more than two-thirds of the days, it is either cloudy or rainy and snowy in Edinburgh. However,

This satisfied Fang Mingyuan and the others' wish to experience exotic customs.

During their stay in Danba, they lived in a villa provided by a director of British Petroleum Company named Ludup. Although Fang Mingyuan was not interested in it, the director of British Petroleum Company took the initiative and offered it.

Having shown enough sincerity - he flew back to Scotland from London, and then personally went to the road from Dunbar to Edinburgh to greet Fang Mingyuan and his party. Naturally, Fang Mingyuan could not resist the other party's kindness.

Rain and snow were falling outside the villa, and the white winter clothes of the distant earth had not yet faded away, but were covered with a new layer of clothes.

But the villa is as warm as spring, and the atmosphere of spring is everywhere.

"Dear Fang, you came at the wrong time. If we say it is May or June, although Edinburgh is sometimes rainy at this time, the climate is the most pleasant. The average temperature is between 16-20°C. It is the most comfortable season of the year.

.And it is the most beautiful time of the year in the Edinburgh area. All kinds of colorful flowers and grasses are blooming all over the mountains and fields, which is so beautiful. It can be said that whether indoors or outdoors, it can give tourists a relaxing and comfortable feeling.,, ​​Potbellied

Director Ludup said as he picked up a cigar and handed it to Fang Mingyuan.

Fang Mingyuan smiled and waved his hand. In his past life, he still couldn't get used to the smell of cigars.

After Ludup lit it for himself, a rich aroma immediately spread in the room.

“It’s good if you come in July and August, because Edinburgh has the best weather in these two months of the year, with long days, many sunny days, and the average temperature is between 25-30°C. Although the weather is hotter, it is

It rarely rains, so it is very suitable for traveling. Moreover, there is the Edinburgh International Arts Festival in August, and there will be many tourists from all over the world. Is it winter..." Ludup shrugged and did not go on.

"Director Luther, if you want to see people, I think I have seen enough in China!" Fang Mingyuan casually picked up a grape from the table, peeled it and put it in his mouth. "Although Edinburgh is now

It’s a bit colder, but it still has a different kind of beauty!”

Ludup was startled for a moment, then he said with a sincere smile: "Dear Fang, if you are not flattering me intentionally, then for your words, we should drink a toast!" Fang Mingyuan couldn't help but said in surprise.

Looking at him, Ludepu smiled and said: "I am a Scotsman, and Edinburgh is my hometown!", Fang Mingyuan couldn't help but suddenly realized that anyone would feel sincerely happy when hearing foreigners praising their hometown. Ludepu

Although Prince is a director of BP, he is also a human being, so he is not immune to this.

Fang Mingyuan looked at the table. Apart from black tea and coffee, there seemed to be nothing more suitable for a drink. There was a wine cabinet not far away, which was full of Scotch whiskey, but Fang Mingyuan had no interest in getting it.

Fang Mingyuan reached out and picked up the black tea and signaled to Ludup. Ludup couldn't help but laugh and said: "Fang, you can always be one step ahead!" Compared with tea, although the taste of coffee is stronger, it is not.

It was not suitable to drink it all in one go. Fang Mingyuan smiled but did not respond, and just drank all the black tea in the cup. Ludup had no choice but to pick up the coffee on the table, raise his head and drink it.

"Fang, I made a special trip to see you this time just to ask you a question!" Ludup put down his coffee cup and said seriously.

"Please speak!" Fang Mingyuan also suppressed his smile, put down Erlang Tui, and said. Ludup's request was not unexpected. If there was no reason, how could Ludup do it for

As a foreigner whom I had never met before, I flew back from London specially.

"Will there be a market for Scotch whiskey in China in the future? If there is a market, how big will it be?" Ludup said solemnly.

Fang Mingyuan was stunned for a moment before replying: "Director Luther, regarding your question, I can only say that at present, it is not a good time for Scotch whiskey to fully enter the Chinese market.

Maybe in ten or eight years, I think it will be more appropriate for Scotch whiskey to enter the Chinese market in a big way at that time. Haha, for most Chinese people, the price of your Scotch whiskey is really too expensive!

"

Ludup shrugged helplessly and said: "Fang, I think you also know that this is mainly due to the exchange rate issue between your country's currency and the British currency, as well as your country's high import tariffs.

I personally think that Scotch whiskey is not the most expensive drink in the world wine market." Fang Mingyuan listened noncommittally. Why did Ludup ask about the prospects of Scotch whiskey in China? This is quite reasonable, because

Ludup himself is the boss of several traditional distilleries in Scotland! And it is said that in Europe, his whiskey is still quite popular and can bring him huge profits every year.

"Dear Fang, if I were to ask you Chang Ming to represent the sales of my whiskey brand in the Chinese market, would you be willing?" Ludup said suddenly.

"Huh?" Fang Mingyuan put down the fruit in his hand and asked with a smile, "Director Luther, why did you think of asking me to represent your product? As far as I know, the whiskey under the name of Director Luther,

In Europe, the supply has always been in short supply!" Ludup waved his hand and said with a half-smile: "Why the supply exceeds the demand, just to trick laymen! The European whiskey market is becoming increasingly saturated. If we cannot open up new markets as soon as possible,

Maybe in ten years, whiskey sales will stagnate.

By that time, it will be too late to start developing new markets! As for why you were chosen, don’t you still understand?”

Carrefour Group is now the largest supermarket chain company in China, with stores spread across first- and second-tier cities across the country. Although the American Wal-Mart Group and Europe's Caneloun have entered the Chinese market, at present, they are far from being able to compete in the Chinese market.

The position of Carrefour Group in China's supermarket chain industry poses a real threat! Moreover, Carrefour Group has always been a model of honest and law-abiding local enterprises in the minds of Chinese people. They have a high degree of confidence in the quality of goods in supermarkets.

If whiskey can enter the counters of Carrefour supermarkets, this in itself represents Carrefour Group’s recognition of its quality, and it will also be easier for it to be recognized by Chinese consumers.

Fang Mingyuan smiled and said: "Director Luther, are you giving me a big piece of profit?" Although the current annual consumption of Chinese Scotch whiskey is not large, with the development of the economy, the income of the Chinese people has increased.

With the continuous improvement of the level and the crazy growth of public consumption in the future, the annual sales volume of Scotch whiskey in China is still extremely considerable. After all, the total population of China exceeds that of the entire Europe. Even if only one percent of the population consumes, the total volume

It is already not inferior to Europe. As the general agent of the Chinese market, Carrefour Group can naturally get the most considerable profit retention.

"I really appreciate what you Chinese people said, only a win-win situation can lead to long-term cooperation!" Ludup laughed and said, "So, Fang, you agree?"

"Director Lude has offered such generous terms, so of course I am more respectful than to obey!" Fang Mingyuan shook hands with Ludepu and said happily, "Haha, if I can get this promise from you Fang, it will be worthwhile for me to fly back from London.

"Yes!" Ludup smiled with a round face like the Maitreya Buddha sitting high in the temple. It can only be the white version. "Actually, I rushed back this time not only for the agency rights of whiskey in China.

I am also entrusted by someone to be an introducer and want to introduce a friend to Fang." "Huh?" Fang Mingyuan raised his eyebrows slightly and asked with a smile, "I wonder who Director Luther wants to introduce to me?"

Ludup took out his cell phone, dialed a number, spoke briefly twice, and hung up again. "Fang, Philip is my friend. I owed him a favor in the past, so I had no choice but to become this introducer.

Regardless of the final outcome of your meeting with him, I hope it will not affect our cooperation!" Fang Mingyuan smiled noncommittally.

The door opened silently, and under the leadership of Ludup's servant, a middle-aged British man with gray hair walked in.

"Fang, let me introduce to you, this is Mr. Philip George Rod Bangkok, the deputy general manager of the British Severy Import and Export Company. Mr. Philip, this is the Mingyuan Fang you are looking for." Ludup Station

He stood up and introduced both parties.

Philip stretched out his hand with a smile and said: "Mr. Fang, I'm glad to get to know you!" Fang Mingyuan calmly stretched out his hand to shake his hand and said, "Mr. Philip, I hope you brought me good news. I don't

I hope my good mood now becomes worse because of something unpleasant." Although there was no change in Philip's face, Fan Mingyuan noticed a trace of panic in his eyes. Obviously, he did not expect that even if

Despite Ludup's introduction, Fang Mingyuan's attitude was still so cold...
