Chapter 561: No Negotiation That Cannot Be Handled by a Cow (1/2)
In the open space outside the canteen of the Jiagu Desert base, a group of Saudis in suits and leather shoes were staring at the hot pot soup pot and barbecue grill, dumbfounded......
They had come all the way here, intending to start negotiations in one go, but what greeted them was a "feast of all cattle".
How are the Chinese hospitable?
Salman looked at this posture with bright eyes: "Are you going to entertain us with Sanqin Niu?"
Qi Zhengwan affirmed: "Yes, we specially slaughtered a 700-kilogram big guy to entertain everyone." ”
Previously, the staff in the base were able to share the delicious beef, but this time the cattle were slaughtered specifically to conquer the stomach of the Saudis.
When Salman heard this, he was already drooling.
His assistant couldn't help but cover his face again, thinking, it's over, I want you to be reserved before the negotiation, it's no fun again. Wait, the Chinese won't be playing this idea, right?
"Ladies and gentlemen, hot pot is a famous dish in China, and you should eat barbecue at home. Of course, there is also yakiniku later. Hmm, can you eat it?" Qi Zheng greeted and asked the chef next to him.
The chef nodded, "It's all ready." ”
"So, let's get a beef fillet for each person first. Qi Zheng shouted, and saw the chef guarding in front of the soup pot, and swooped a plate of beef into the hot pot.
Qi Zheng also found a vacant seat next to Salman and waited for dinner.
Different from the hot pot eating method in China where a group of people sit around the table, the chef quickly scoops out the beef slices, quickly puts them into the small bowl in front of everyone, and then makes a gesture of please.
This is more troublesome, but it is very in line with the habit of foreigners to divide meals.
The interpreter next to him hurriedly said, "Everyone, you can eat." ”
Qi Zheng and Salman were the first to start.
A group of Saudis, you look at me, I look at you, and finally can't help but pick up the bowl and taste it.
In order to take care of the relatively light dietary taste of Middle Eastern people, the hot pot also uses a lighter soup stock, which can better reflect the original taste of the ingredients.
The beef that is used for shabu-shabu is "sirloin", that is, the second half of the back of the cow, which is a very high-grade part of the beef.
Thinly sliced loin, with just a gentle dip, the mouth is tender, juicy and juicy...... All the Saudis are in the same move, squinting and eating wildly.
And on the other side, the beef shoulder tenderloin has appeared on the barbecue.
Beef shoulder loin is the long tenderloin located on the back of the shoulder and the part closest to the head. Due to the constant movement of this part, the meat is soft and delicate and has a good flavor. Compared with rib spine, there is more red meat and moderate fat content, which is a good product for barbecue.
After being grilled, the fat blends perfectly with the sweet beef, and the rich aroma is tumbling and gathering, making the Saudis who have just eaten the hot pot meat feel even hungrier.
When Qi Zheng came to his senses, the Saudis seemed to have let go of themselves and actively asked for help.
Although there were enough cooks, there was no stopping the Saudis from getting started in person, and Qi Zheng didn't bother to stop it.
However, Qi Zheng still prefers fried steak to roast beef. Salman, who was next to him, made the same choice.
Freshly baked thick fried steak is placed in front of two people who sit quietly and wait to eat.
The high-quality part used for frying steak is the "naked eye", which is the most central part of the tenderloin, located between the shoulder blade and sirloin. It is also the most fat-rich of all beef cuts, with a perfect balance of lean meat and fat.
Qi Zheng and Salman glanced at each other, then raised their knives and cut off a large piece of beef.
First of all, I looked at the surface, and what I saw was a burnt red color with only salt and pepper added after roasting, and the aroma was overflowing, and at this time the index finger was moving.
Look inside...... What else to see, it's serious to bite down!
In the mouth, it is full of fragrant gravy.
The advantage of a large steak is that the gravy is well preserved, and the full gravy is the reason why the steak is expensive. Of course, there are many people who can't adapt to it, just like some people can't stand durian, it's a good taste to save money.
Qi Zheng likes the taste of big steak very much. To say that he is the driving force behind Jiagu's cattle raising, at least three points is to satisfy his appetite.
And now that he has seen the results, he eats even more deliciously.
Salman was even more unbearable, and he slashed a finger-wide slice of thick meat, eagerly filling a third of it into his mouth and chewing it laboriously.
If you eat pork, such a thick slice of meat will definitely be tired of people.
If you eat chicken, such a large piece of meat, needless to say, it will cost an amazing amount of firewood. It's not for nothing that Lao Mei only eats turkey on Thanksgiving, and at other times, who wants to abuse herself like this.
Beef is different.
The richness of the palate and the sense of security brought by the abundance of protein have been extremely rare for millions of years.
This is the kind of food that really makes people feel the meaning of life.
What is it like to be alive?
The process of ingesting high energy is the feeling of being alive.
Fat house water, chocolate, beef...... Nothing at all.
And the "Sanqin Cow" beef magnifies this feeling to the extreme.
Whether it's a Saudi one eating barbecue or a Saudi one eating steak, what comes out of it is full of happiness.
“...... Mr. Qi, we hope to purchase all Sanqin beef at the right price. Salman swallowed a mouthful of meat, and couldn't help but put on a posture to wrap up.
At this time, his assistant was eating a mouthful of oil, and it didn't work at all.
Other Saudis, even more have lost their IQs, and everyone's faces are filled with satisfied smiles.
Qi Zheng couldn't help but laugh.
This is the power of "wine table culture".
From ancient times to the present, the "wine table" has been one of the cheapest and most inexpensive social scenes. After three rounds of drinking, people can show their true side relatively quickly and establish basic trust.
This time, Qi Zheng just replaced "wine" with "beef".
There is no negotiation that a "Sanqin cow" can't handle, and there will be no twists and turns in the next negotiations.
Not to mention that the Saudis who eat people have soft mouths, but the Saudis who were pierced by the "Sanqin Niu" beef have three points shorter in their bargaining waists.
The first agreement with the Saudis was a $500 million trade deal for Sanqin beef in which the Saudis would obtain exclusive distribution rights for Sanqin beef in the Middle East and Gulf regions.
Considering the output, in the next year, the Sanqin beef produced by Jiagu Agriculture and Animal Husbandry was basically rounded by the Saudis.
Qi Zheng is quite satisfied with this agreement.
Not because of the amount. If converted, the export price of "Sanqin beef" beef is about 400 US dollars per kilogram, which is of course still far from the world's top beef, but considering that the output of "Sanqin cattle" will not be as low as that of island Wagyu, that is, it is satisfactory - this world, always scarce is expensive.
What he is most satisfied with is that the agreement stipulates that the Saudi side will play the "Sanqin Niu" beef brand, help the "Sanqin Niu" beef to be recognized by the top restaurants in the Middle East and Gulf region, and start the reputation of "Sanqin Niu" beef.
Compared with being famous in the world, a mere $500 million is nothing.
