Chapter 169: Surprised, Not Surprised? (3rd Update)
"Amy, do you remember the red Arowana you saw at the island president's house before?" Smith tilted his head sideways and whispered to Amy, the female secretary beside him.
“sir!”
"Don't you remember that I only earn $200,000 a year?"
"Do you think I'll forget the Arowana that is worth my salary for one and a half years?" Amy, the female secretary, crooked her mouth and sighed with some fresh memory.
It is precisely because of the luxurious life of the president of Kojima that the Smith Group has firmly established its plan to expand the supermarket's supplier chain layout to Asia.
Fuck it!
This is the 3-year income of a middle-class family in the United States!
Raising an ornamental fish casually is worth 300,000 US dollars, do you say that such a supplier is reliable?
However, in the face of the female secretary's answer, Smith showed a playful smile noncommittally, pointed to the Sao Bao Arowana in front of him and said, "Then do you think the Arowana in captivity in this restaurant will be more expensive than the one at President Kojima's house?"
"Probably impossible, right?"
"That Kojima president is the president of RB's top 100 Co., Ltd., how could he lose to an ordinary hotel in China. Amy, the female secretary, shook her head and replied with a look of disagreement.
However, when Smith asked the translator to call the waiter of this [World's Freshest] and asked about the value of the golden-red arowana in the fish tank.
Not only was the Chinese Chinese translator a little speechless in shock, but even the female secretary Amy was shocked and frozen in place by the amount quoted by the other party.
"What?!"
"More than 6 million yuan?"
"At the current exchange rate, isn't that nearly $1 million?" Amy, the female secretary, screamed, and she felt her values collapse in an instant.
A million dollars!
The total assets of a medium-sized family in the United States are only this number!
The value of an ornamental fish can reach such a terrifying level, not to mention the female secretary Amy, even Jenny and Hathaway, who were taking pictures with the big lobster, surrounded them in surprise.
"Dad, is this true?"
"Is this fish really worth a million dollars?"
"If it's true, I'd like to take a picture with it and post it on social media! The daughter Hathaway leaned on the glass jar, and her two blue eyes seemed to be observing a rare treasure.
As for Smith's wife, Jenny, was also shocked by the astonishing value of this sao bao arowana at this time, and muttered in her mouth: "To put such a precious ornamental fish in such a place, even those well-known Michelin three-star restaurants can't do it, right?"
......
A group of 5 people stayed at this entrance for a long time, taking pictures and taking group photos, for fear of missing out on these precious water creatures.
When they entered the reception hall and joined Lin Yongfeng, who had been waiting for a long time, everyone inevitably greeted each other for a while.
Fortunately, there were translation secretaries on both sides, and it was not too difficult to communicate.
In addition, Lin Yongfeng recently made up his spoken English in a business foreign language cram school in Ruicheng.
Although I can't pronounce too many English words, speaking a few words of Chinese English that makes people feel friendly shortens the distance between the two sides.
After everyone went to the box on the second floor and felt the antique Chinese decoration inside [The World's First Fresh], the Smith family of three sighed that this Chinese culture was broad and profound, and at the same time, they began to look forward to the dishes of this dinner.
Fortunately, Zhou Wan's craftsmanship did not disappoint everyone.
Steamed blue crab with ginger and rice wine, Baked Boston lobster with garlic cheese, wild yellow croaker with scallion oil, abalone with oyster sauce and other Chinese and Western seafood feasts began to be served on the table.
Rao is a Smith family that belongs to the wealthy class of the United States, and they have never seen such a variety of seafood dishes.
Especially the seafood served up, all of them are surprisingly big, but the meat is extremely delicious, so that Smith, who is full of oil and almost can't even maintain a gentleman's demeanor, sighed with a look of surprise: "Mr. Lin, the chef of this restaurant is really amazing!"
"Even the Michelin restaurants in our country are a little incomparable!"
"And the wild seafood ingredients, it's really delicious like you've never seen before. ”
Listening to the praise of the white ghost in front of him, Lin Yongfeng smiled with a smile on his face, but he despised a few words in his heart: "Nonsense! Can it not be delicious? This meal cost Lao Tzu more than 1.2 million yuan." ”
"And it's all wild and rare, you gringos don't even see it!"
However, contempt is contempt, Lin Yongfeng still treats the Smith family very kindly.
Especially when the boiled river mussel he ordered came up, the local industrial tycoon in Ruicheng lowered his posture, and while helping to hand the river mussel that opened slightly, he told the story with a smile: "Mr. Smith, try this wild river mussel!"
"When I was a child, my family was very poor and I was often hungry and couldn't eat. My brothers and sisters would go to the Feiyun River in Ruicheng to touch this mussel and cook it. ”
It's just that the inspirational story of this poor boy starting a business to get the whole family out of food and clothing has not yet been finished in English by the translator.
Hathaway, who had just broken a large river mussel, suddenly screamed. As if he saw something unclean, he threw the river mussel on the table with a "bang", interrupting the original happy dining atmosphere.
"Dad, look inside this shell, there's black mud!" Daughter Hathaway said with a look of disgust.
As for his wife Jenny, she also threw away the half-opened mussel in her hand in fright, and said a few words mercilessly: "I just said that Chinese restaurants are not good, and they can't even handle hygiene well, how can they be served casually for guests to eat?"
"Daring, let's go, it's better to change to a reliable western restaurant. ”
encountered this unexpected dining hygiene crisis, not only the waiter guarding the door was stupid, but even Lin Yongfeng, the initiator of the banquet, was stupid.
Fuck it!
What a fool!
Even the blood in my heart is half cold!
spent a huge amount of 1.2 million yuan to invite foreign businessmen to eat a wild seafood dinner, just to let the other party's family leave a deep and good impression, so as to continue the next business talks.
It's good now, 1.2 million is smashed in, how can you, the [world's freshest], serve a river mussel that hasn't even been cleaned with mud?
"I'll tell you to order a mussel!"
"Let you tell a story!"
"It's over...... Don't think about the rice market......"
Lin Yongfeng felt that there was a thunderbolt on his head, especially this river mussel dish that ruined the atmosphere, and he still asked Chen Hao, the little boss, to serve it.
Thinking of this, Lin Yongfeng couldn't wait to get his hands on pumping his two big-eared scrapers!
However, just when Jenny and Hathaway, mother and daughter, were angrily about to get up and leave the table. Smith, who was sitting next to him with a pale face, was holding a chopstick, and with a look of disgust, he pried open the river mussel with silt in it, and planned to call the owner of the restaurant to confront him.
It's just that it's okay if it's not warped, but when it opens, everyone is stunned!
I only heard the "gurgling" sound, the mud was not seen, and a large white pearl with some shadows under the light rolled automatically into the dinner plate in front of everyone in the box, like a naughty ball.
