Fairy Gourd Farm

Chapter 342 Anthony Farnese
The hall was almost full of Westerners, and it was no wonder that an Asian face like Zhao Lei who walked in suddenly attracted everyone's attention.

These people were all exhibitors who came to sign in with the organizing committee, and they all looked at Zhao Lei suspiciously, wondering what an Asian man was doing here.

Pierre told Zhao Lei in a low voice in Chinese: "The ingredients expo has been attended by mainly European and American suppliers, and occasionally Japanese suppliers will participate. I think others will be surprised to see you."

Zhao Lei shrugged indifferently and said, "When they see my ingredients, they will be even more surprised."

Seeing Zhao Lei's confidence, Pierre couldn't help laughing and said, "That's right, when the fair officially opens, these people will definitely be even more surprised."

While the two were talking in low voices, a handsome man in a custom-made suit came to them, looked Zhao Lei up and down and asked, "Are you also here to participate in the expo? Japanese?"

Zhao Lei frowned and replied, "No, I'm Chinese."

The man said with an exaggerated expression: "Chinese people can also come to the Food Expo? Are you kidding me?"

The other party's words made Zhao Lei even more unhappy, and said coldly, "I don't know you well, so I'm not interested in joking with you!"

"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself." The other party said proudly: "My name is Anthony Farnese, the heir of the Farnese family. What's your name?"

Pierre told Zhao Lei in a low voice: "The Farnese family is the most famous food supplier in Italy, and their most popular products are white truffles and various seafood."

Hearing that the other party also sells white truffles, a slight sneer appeared on the corner of Zhao Lei's mouth, he is still a competitor.

However, on this occasion, Zhao Lei would not be too rude, and said with a faint smile: "My name is Zhao Lei, I am from China, and I am the boss of Xianhu Company."

Zhao Lei's words raised Anthony's eyebrows, and he couldn't help asking loudly, "Are you the boss of the Chinese company that was recently featured in Taste Magazine?"

The Italian's words immediately attracted the attention of many people, and they all gathered around, looking at Zhao Lei with great interest.

If everyone was just curious about Zhao Lei with an Asian face before, now they are starting to look at him squarely.

After all, Taste Magazine has a great influence in the food industry. The latest issue of the magazine has a large interview with Zhao Lei and Xianhu Company, which has attracted many people in the industry to pay attention to this newly rising Chinese company.

Hearing that Xianhu Company will also participate in this year's food expo, a few people are a little nervous, feeling that there is an extra strong competitor.

But more people don't take it seriously. They don't believe that a Chinese company can cultivate such good ingredients. They think that the reporter of Taste Magazine is definitely exaggerating, and those photos of ingredients that are as exquisite as works of art must have been post-processed.How can there be such beautiful ingredients in this world, it's just a joke!

Some people even think that Taste Magazine must have secretly received a lot of sponsorship from Xianhu Company, otherwise how could it be possible to brag about this little-known small company?
Anthony also holds this view.He thinks that his family sells the best white truffles, and Taste magazine has praised the white truffles of Xianhu Company to the sky, which is completely nonsense!
How can there be such a good white truffle in this world, and it comes from a small Chinese company, it simply treats everyone else as an idiot!
Thinking of this, Anthony sneered and said, "Mr. Zhao, I heard that your company produces the best white truffles in the world. Coincidentally, our Farnese family also operates white truffles. It seems that this time I can broaden my horizons, right?"

Zhao Lei nodded lightly and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Farnese, you will definitely not be disappointed!"

"Haha, then I'd like to see how good the so-called best white truffle in the world is." Anthony deliberately laughed and said, "I just hope that you won't let everyone down by then, and you won't end up in such a ridiculous end." alright."

Of course, Zhao Lei was full of confidence in his white truffle, and said with a slight smile, "I hope Mr. Farnese can still smile so happily after seeing the fairy gourd brand white truffle."

"Hmph!" Recognizing the irony in Zhao Lei's words, Anthony snorted coldly, turned and left angrily.

Seeing the tit-for-tat Zhao Lei and Anthony, other exhibitors also secretly weighed who will have the last laugh.However, most people are optimistic about Anthony, thinking that Zhao Lei will definitely not be the opponent of the Farnese family.

After all, one side is a veteran Italian food supplier, while the other side is a Chinese company that has been established for less than a year. The strength of the two parties is so different that they are not on the same level at all.

Many exhibitors believed that Taste Magazine did a stupid thing this time, touting a newly established Chinese company so much.

When Xianhu Company loses face at this expo, Taste Magazine's reputation will also plummet.It is definitely not worth the loss to exchange the reputation accumulated over the years for a sponsorship.

Zhao Lei can guess what other people are thinking just by looking at their expressions.But Zhao Lei doesn't care what other people think. After the fair officially opens, these guys will know that they are wrong.

Zhao Lei and Pierre waited patiently for a while, and soon it was their turn to register with the organizing committee.

Unlike those exhibitors outside, the staff of the organizing committee had a good attitude towards the two of them, and quickly helped Zhao Lei complete the registration procedures.

Seeing that there are many kinds of ingredients sent by Xianhu Company to participate in the exhibition, the staff kindly reminded him: "Mr. Zhao, most countries in the European Union prohibit genetically modified foods. If there are genetically modified ingredients in the ingredients you send, you will not be able to pass the customs inspection. Yes, let alone exhibiting at the expo, you must pay attention to this.”

Zhao Lei said with a smile: "Don't worry, all the ingredients of Xianhu Company do not contain genetically modified ingredients, I can guarantee this."

The staff nodded and said: "That's good. The expo will arrange the most suitable booth for you according to the types and quantities of ingredients that Xianhu Company will exhibit. Please wait patiently for our notice."

Since the attitude of the other party was good, Zhao Lei also politely thanked him and said goodbye, and left the staff's office with Pierre.

As soon as the two of them came out, a bald man with a fat face saw Pierre.There was a stern look in this guy's eyes, but he quickly squeezed a smirk on his face, walked towards Pierre and said loudly: "Pierre, my old friend, I didn't expect to meet again!"

But when Pierre saw this person, his face immediately became very ugly.
