Chapter 608: Is It Worth Over 100 Million?
At about five o'clock in the evening, the plane landed smoothly at Qiongjin International Airport. Max and his new girlfriend, Annadra, walked into the airport hallway arm in arm.
Anadra is twenty-eight years old this year, her ex-husband is a celebrity in Mexico City, the two got married in a flash, and they have long been in love with Max, and after learning that he and his previous girlfriend divorced, he quickly launched an initiative and became a couple with Max.
Max also admired Annadra and had the urge to pursue her before, but Anadra was too beautiful for Max to be sure.
Annadra was wearing a tight sundress, and her plump body blew out at any time, causing countless men and women to look sideways.
What's even more devilish is Annadra's devilish face, a palm-sized, with distinct facial features, a bit of mixed Chinese and Western blood, plus a healthy wheat sรจ, sexy and sultry.
After picking up the luggage and stepping out of the pick-up gate, someone took the initiative to greet you, "Is this Mr. Max? We are the staff of the International Culinary Association International Culinary League, and we are responsible for receiving you this trip." My name is Mike!"
Max smiled and shook his hand gentlemanly, "Hello! This is my girlfriend Annadra." โ
Annadra and Mike smiled politely, and Mike arranged for the entourage to take the suitcase from them, "If you have any special needs for this trip, you can contact me at any time." โ
Annadra bowed slightly, "I heard that Huaxia is very dangerous, and everyone is not allowed to move around, otherwise they will be arrested, right?"
Mike laughed, "Ma'am, you're so cute, and the information you know is too one-sided." Objectively speaking, Huaxia is the safest country in the world. Here, it is illegal to carry a gun, and brawls are extremely rare. I think you can ask Max to take you around the city center at one or two o'clock in the morning and you'll find yourself falling in love with any city here. โ
Annadra looked at Mike in disbelief.
In any city in Mexico, one or two a.m. is the time when crime is at its highest.
It's not the first time Max has come to China, but the last time was six years ago, sitting in a modified Buick business car, Max had a sense of confusion, is this the country he has been to?
The cars driving into the airport expressway, the surrounding buildings, and the full line of limousines are a new and shocking feeling for both Max and Annadra.
In the eyes of many foreigners, China is a developing country, even in some countries in the Americas that are not developed and have a very low per capita income, they also think that the people of China live in the heat of the water, but the scene in front of him will make Max mistakenly think that he is New York or Toronto.
This time, the organizing committee arranged a super five-star resort hotel business suite, and Max and Annadra walked into it and instantly felt a sense of luxury quality.
Max has traveled north and south and seen the world, but this is also the first time that such a magnificent hotel has been created.
Annadra also felt that the trip was worth it.
Mike said softly, "You take a short rest, there will be a distinguished guest who wants to meet you later." โ
Max was slightly stunned, and then reacted.
In every game, there is one or more gold owners behind the scenes, but most of the time they enjoy the game more than they come to the surface to communicate with the chef face-to-face.
But this time, the other party did make an exception, and I think there are more expectations.
Max and Annadra took a mandarin duck bath, and after getting dressed, the sound of the doorbell rang from outside the door, and Max walked by
When he went to open the door, a man in his fifties walked in, his eyes flashing over Annadra's body.
Even with this old man's experience, Annadra is a rare stunner, and I have to sigh at Max's chic.
Mike stood beside the man and introduced, "This is Mr. Fair, the CEO of the Valen Group, who admires your cooking skills and has invited you to join the Pheren Group as the head chef many times before. โ
Max shook hands with Fell warmly, "I've been admiring it for a long time. โ
Ferl laughed, "Mr. Max, I'm a big fan of yours, I watch every game you play, and the recent fight with Sandra is a classic. It's hard to imagine that you win Italian food with Peruvian food, which is a classic small win over big. โ
Max smiled modestly: "Although Peruvian cuisine is a little niche, it has advantages that are difficult to replicate, and there are more variations than stereotypical Italian food. The judges are knowledgeable foodies who can find more novelty in niche dishes even if they know a little bit about them. โ
"That's right, food is like beauty, it's always the new and the old more touching than the old." โ
Max didn't expect Fell to start the car with a disagreement, and smiled faintly, "Mr. Fell is also a sentimental person." โ
Fair laughed, immediately straightened his face, and said seriously: "I met you privately this time in the hope that you can show 100% of your strength and defeat Qiao Zhi." โ
Max frowned and said, "Even if you don't tell me, I'll do my best." โ
Fell smiled, "This time you are playing against a different opponent, he won all the way, he seems to stumble, but in fact he has become the biggest winner every time." โ
Max fell silent.
Phil took out a USB drive from his pocket, "This is a document I arranged for someone to prepare for you, I hope you can take the time to study his style, it should be of good help to you." โ
Max's eyes fell on the USB drive, and he didn't move.
Mike also reminded on the side: "This competition has attracted the attention of the global industry inside and outside, although Qiao Zhi is not ranked high now, even after Sandra, but it is said that Sandra also lost to him half a year ago, so Qiao Zhi's real strength is only behind you in the tiger list." โ
Max exhaled softly, "I never look at my opponents, I only focus on whether I can play to my fullest. โ
Fell was slightly stunned, secretly wondering that Max was really like the outside world's evaluation, seemingly gentle on the outside, but very arrogant on the inside.
Of course, Max has something to be proud of.
Many dignitaries in the Americas are proud to be able to eat the food he cooks, and if he wants to, he can easily raise funds to start his own catering brand.
"The information is handed over to you, and it is naturally up to you to arrange it. In addition, there is one more thing, if you can defeat Qiao Zhi, someone is willing to give you an additional 500,000 US dollars. โ
Max had a look of surprise in his eyes, "It seems that I have to study the contents of the USB drive carefully." โ
Although Max has many channels to make money, it costs a lot of money to chase girls and create romance, and if he has the opportunity to make money, he will naturally not let go of this opportunity.
Phil sat with Mike for a while, and vaguely said that a catering company in Huaxia was willing to hire him as the head chef at a high price, but Max politely refused.
Lack of money, but Max doesn't want to be tied down.
There is no freedom in life, in cooking
Inspiration is bound to dry up.
When Fair and Mike left, Annadra walked out of the room, and the woman in her sheer pajamas was like an elf born in the gap between heaven and hell.
Annadra sat in Max's arms, and Max carried her to the balcony.
The two looked out at the scenery, and Mike called, "Interested in going out for a drink?"
Max glanced at Annadra, "Mike wants to ask us out for a drink. โ
Annadra said happily, "Okay, let's go out for a walk, shall we?"
Max smiled dumbly, "Why? Aren't you afraid of danger?"
Annadra nodded the tip of his nose, "With you protecting me, what can I be afraid of?"
Max sighed: "Well, let's get a feel for the oriental nightlife." โ
The two changed into their outfit and Mike stopped a taxi and was already waiting downstairs. Mike, who is not very fluent in Chinese, asked the driver where the city was more fun at night.
The driver is the spirit of the city, not only to send people on the way home, but also to guide people to the beacon of happiness.
The driver made an OK hand and led them to the bar area.
After getting out of the car, Annadra felt as if she had discovered a new world.
Observing the nearby environment, she sighed: "I didn't expect that the city in China has everything, and this is not the best city in China." โ
Mike has been on a long-term business trip in Yanjing and Yunhai, and said to science: "Of course not, to be precise, Qiongjin is only a second-tier city in China." โ
Max was also a bit surprised, because in the bustling city of Mexico City, a neighborhood like this usually has to be patrolled by hordes of police to maintain order, and at night, there are dangers everywhere.
"Honey, is that your picture printed on the lightbox ad over there?" said Annadra, pointing to a sign that shimmered not far away.
"Really!" said Max, surprised.
Mike said happily: "In this city, there are many such billboards, and your opponent is a household name in China. Not only is he a good cook, but he is also a young entrepreneur who owns three food and beverage businesses and is worth more than $100 million. This time, with the help of you and his competition, we will publicize it nationwide, increase your popularity, and enhance the visibility of the company, so I used your image right. If you feel inappropriate, I can contact them and ask them to cancel the ad. โ
"No! I'm not that stingy. Max secretly thought that compared to the match with Sandra, it seemed that the rules (forced) of this game had increased a lot.
Max knew Qiao Zhi's resume, a rich and famous opponent.
As for how much money there is and how much fame there is, it is far from encountering overwhelming publicity, and I feel it in person, which is direct and more impactful.
Annadra whispered, "Is it worth more than 100 million? โ
Max looked at Annadra lightly, and his heart was actually mixed.
Wealth and romance, most women are not exempt from vulgarity, and it seems that they will choose the former.
Max found that his soul was polluted and became worldly like never before.
Max was generous, but his financial situation was a bit bad.
Most of his money is spent on women.
I don't know why a strange idea came to me - I really want to make money!
