Chapter 558: A Fat Sheep (2/2)

"Mr. Salman, the conditions are rudimentary, I hope you don't mind. ”

In the small canteen at the base of the Jiagu Desert, Qi Zheng invited Salman to taste the food.

In front of the two of them is the base chef who is frying steaks.

Salman looked around with a critical eye. Tsk, the environment of the canteen is really simple, bad reviews, the chef's method of frying steaks is also average, bad reviews, the so-called food, is actually steak?

Compared with the Chinese food culture principle of "never getting tired of eating", Arabic food is much thicker. As nomads, they do not have their own food culture, and the cooking method is simple, except for roasting, that is, frying, at most stewed and finished, or simply eaten raw.

The traditional Arabic meal is based on barbecued beef and mutton. Probably the desert, the Gobi, the scorching sun, the wind and sand, the scorching heat, the drought...... Such a rough and harsh living environment determines that it is impossible for them to diligently pay attention to their diet.

But that was before! Today's "trenched" Saudis pursue a "thick and fine" diet - both retaining traditional Arabic food and preferring various styles of cuisine.

Salman thought he was tasting Chinese food, but he didn't expect it to be steak! If it was steak, what kind of steak had he not tasted since he often went to top Western restaurants?

Well, although this beef seems to be very good. Salman's nose twitched, and he thought to himself.

Qi Zheng remained silent and introduced with a smile: "This is a new breed of beef cattle cultivated by our company with Angus cattle as the father and China's high-quality cattle as the mother. ”

With that, Salman was a little interested.

Purebred Angus beef cattle are the world's top high-grade beef cattle breeds, and the high-grade beef produced with Angus cattle is dozens of times more expensive than ordinary beef, and it is a veritable "noble cattle". When Qi Zheng said this, he was obviously quite confident in his own breed.

- What they want to taste is the "Sanqin Niu" beef.

As Jiagu's "trump card" in high-end beef, Qi Zheng didn't have much opportunity to feast on it before, until now a certain population size has been formed.

The chef served the medium-rare steak, Qi Zheng sat upright, and said, "The real top-notch beef, you don't need too complicated cooking, you can get the original experience by simply frying and grilling." Mr. Salman, please!"

Only the food can live up to it. For real food, Qi Zheng believes that the most correct way to treat it is to shake off the cheeks and eat well.

A slice of thickly sliced beef, stuffed to the brim.

After gently chewing twice, the intoxicating juice instantly fills the mouth.

Qi Zheng couldn't help but squint his eyes slightly.

Tasting a steak, in terms of taste, is obviously better than a thin cut. Qi Zheng took a big bite, and the rich and fragrant taste exploded in his mouth in an instant.

Qi Zheng, who had tasted it a few times, was like this, and Salman was almost blown up by the delicious taste.

When lips and teeth touch two or three times, the unique aroma of the top steak comes up at once.

"Delicious!" Salman's vocabulary was also lacking, and the main thing was that he didn't want to waste the food in his mouth.

The abundant juice and tenderness keep his attention all in his mouth.

Tenderness is natural. For a whole cow, the tenderloin of the cow is selected, and the medium-rare is just right.

But fresh is another matter. Umami comes from proteins, amino acids, organic acids and even more nitrogen-containing compounds, and is often more complex than pure saltiness provided by sodium chloride.

The unique freshness of "Sanqin Niu" beef is enough to prove that it contains amino acids, organic acids and other flavor substances.

Of course, at such a time, who cares to analyze the characteristics of beef?

Food is always different, and the taste is always the same.

Qi Zhengpin smacked the fragrant steak and nodded gently, and Salman also ate one piece after another, one piece after another......

When the former's gaze swept over the latter, there was a smile in the corner of his eyes.

β€”β€”It is not only the pleasure of tasting the food together, but also the joy of seeing the "fat sheep" in the bag.

Essentially, a company is the same as a laboratory, and the most feared thing is a bottomless pit of projects.

Obviously, desert management and development, in the eyes of many people, is a bottomless project.

From Jiagu's point of view, investing in both rice and pork is more profitable than investing in desert development.

Therefore, absorbing a larger range of funds is the only way for the development of the Alashan Desert.

The "investment-return" model is the most ideal, even if the state invests money, if it wants to go smoothly, Qi Zheng must also make the value of this money highlight, so as to get the second money, the third money......

At this time, the Saudis who took the initiative to come to the door met all the characteristics of "fat sheep".

First of all, Saudi Arabia is the largest end-consumer market in the Middle East, and up to 60% of the goods imported in the Middle East are consumed in Saudi Arabia.

From the perspective of trade structure, China is already Saudi Arabia's largest trading partner. Saudi Arabia's exports to China are mainly crude oil and petrochemical products, and Saudi Arabia's imports from China range from industrial equipment to daily food and clothing, and are highly complementary.

Of course, the most important thing is that the Saudis have money!

Last year, when there was a crisis in the Arab world, the Saudi royal family and government sacrificed this magic weapon and announced welfare policies totaling more than 130 billion US dollars, and the Saudi population was about 30 million, almost an average of 4,333 US dollars in benefits for each Saudi, which is almost 30,000 yuan.

Being rich is so capricious.

The wallet is bulging, and the consumption is more generous. Despite the fact that there are very few entertainment activities in Saudi Arabia, there is one entertainment activity that is popular around the world and will not disappoint – shopping. Saudi Arabia is the distribution center of luxury goods in the world, and the stores of major luxury goods are blooming everywhere.

And to a certain extent, Jiagu's "Sanqin Beef" high-end beef is also a luxury.

Late listing in China is at most to let domestic gourmets taste the highest grade of domestic beef later, but listing in Saudi Arabia can contribute to Jiagu's desert development project - with the pursuit of "luxury" by the Saudis, Jiagu's knife is light, and they are sorry for their rich wallets.

Finally, there's Salman.

The Ministry of Information has ascertained that he is inextricably linked to the Saudi royal family. In addition, he not only holds a key position in the Saudi Ministry of Agriculture, but is also a key management officer of a public company responsible for managing food imports, which can be said to be the best partner for Jiagu to explore the Middle East market.

"Mr. Salman, our beef, is it okay?" Qi Zheng said contentedly as he put down his knife and fork and wiped the corners of his oily mouth.

Salman chewed and nodded, giving him a thumbs up.

Qi Zheng smiled innocently: "So, do you think there is a market for this in Saudi Arabia?"

After swallowing the last bite of beef, Salman's eyes narrowed so beautifully that he said without hesitation: "This beef, we want it!"

β€œ......”

This domineering, this neat, is really a nation that likes krypton!
