660.Three Michelin Stars (4/5)
When Ledou met Cole Winston, it was in the afternoon. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Considering that New York is in the Great Northeast and Las Vegas is in the Great Southwest, Cole was able to come over the same day after receiving the news, which shows that he attaches great importance to Li Du and this batch of gems.
It also shows that this person should be more pragmatic, more low-key, and easier to speak.
Of course, the same is true of Cole Winston's physiognomy, he looks quite stardom, and he is also a comedy star Jim Carrey, especially the eyes and nose area, which are very similar.
It's a good thing for ordinary people to look like this, but for a group CEO, it's fucked up to look like a comedy star.
Several times, Cole Winston was furious in the conference room, but someone below grinned and asked why, and the other party told him very honestly: he thought he saw Jim Carrey performing.
Every time this happens, what can Cole do except say that Mom sells batches?
The evolution of physiognomy is very similar to the evolution of the abilities of their grandparents, with Harry Winston having a shrewd and capable face, Ronald not being shrewd but looking quite dignified, and when he comes to Cole, he looks funny......
Li Du was studying the history of Harry Winston and Cole Winston in his office before, and the outside world has an evaluation about their three generations of grandchildren, in the words of his hometown, that is: weasels are rats, and one generation is not as good as the next!
But he didn't feel that way when he looked at his face, and felt that Cole should be very easy to deal with, in Chinese terms, this person has a good face.
Rogge introduced the two parties, and Cole held Li Du's hand and said, "Hello, Mr. Li, more than 20 days ago, I heard Rogge mention you, you are really young and handsome. ”
Li Du said politely: "Thank you for the compliment, President Winston, it's an honor to meet you here, it's really a good thing." ”
Cole said: "Yes, this is definitely a good thing, and in my opinion, this meeting is like a meeting in Jinggangshan in your country for Hairui Group!"
Li Du was quite surprised and said, "You still know about this historical event in our country. ”
Cole smiled reservedly, something he had struck on the plane.
After a brief greeting session, the conversation cut to the point, and Cole had to visit the gems.
Gem identification is in progress and is in the final stages.
There is no problem with the texture of these fire opals, they are not fakes, now the quality is identified, and the quality is graded.
Among them, the appraisal work is carried out first from high-quality opals, and the top 50 opals are the first to be identified, and the recommended price is also out.
The best piece of opal is three hundred and forty-two carats and is a large gemstone with a fine texture and a red jungle-shaped fire inside, which is very valuable.
The price of this opal is 4.5 million, and the price is close to the total price of more than 50 opals sold by Li Du last time, which is normal, and the output of fire opals is too low.
Seeing the price, Cole's eyelids jumped a few times, and he continued to look down, his eyelids beating more and more:
Suggested offer: 285, Suggested offer: 220, Suggested offer: 1,920,000, Suggested offer: 1,550,000......
At the end of the visit, the identification work is still ongoing, and there are too many gems that appear this time, and I am afraid that the identification will not be completed in one day, and the work will continue until the next day.
In the evening, Rogge introduced them to a three-Michelin-starred restaurant named Joe Lubson, the only three-star restaurant in Las Vegas.
Known for its traditional French cuisine, this restaurant is located at MGM Resort, with an entrance to one of the hotel's intimate gardens, which the group walks through and down deep winding paths.
The overall style of Joe Lubçon's restaurant is more like a private clubhouse than a restaurant, offering a luxurious extended Lincoln pick-up and drop-off for guests who have made a reservation for dinner.
This is not the first time that Li Du has entered a restaurant with a Michelin star, and the golden Aquidan in Flagpole City has a star, but only one star.
Many people know Michelin and know that this is a tire brand, and the Michelin restaurants themselves have nothing to do with the Michelin company, but they grade these restaurants as one star to three stars, and the more stars, the more high-end they are.
Compared to Joe Lubson's restaurant, Golden Aquitaine is a bit undersightly.
This is normal, the owner of Joe Lubçon's restaurant is a celebrity chef with a reputation as "Chef of the Century". At the age of 38, he achieved the highest accolade of three Michelin stars for the restaurant, becoming the youngest talented chef to receive three stars to date.
The décor of the golden aquidan is exquisite, but the décor here can be called meticulous, the whole looks like nothing at first glance, but the more you look at it, the more pleasing it is, and every detail is rigorous to perfection.
As soon as they entered the restaurant, they were greeted by a beautiful French girl.
Rogge handed his business card to the girl, who checked the booking records and led them into the secondary hall.
The main hall is large and beautiful, and the theme changes throughout the year, but it is winter, and the main color of the decorations is ocean blue.
The secondary hall where they were located was smaller, but more quiet and elegant, with green vine leaves on the walls and flowers on the ground, not flower arrangements, but fresh plants.
After taking his seat, Rogge explained to Li Du: "I'm sorry, Li, I can only entertain you in the deputy hall this time, because the main hall needs to be positioned a week in advance, and we can't make it." ”
Li Du waved his hand and said, "It's so polite, man, the environment here is very good, I am very satisfied." Now, let's not be polite, let's order food, I can't wait. ”
The restaurant uses a combination of appetizer + soup + main course + dessert, and the main dish here is a 12-course chef's selection set meal, with a total price of 2,400 yuan.
Yes, a meal costs two thousand four hundred dollars......
Rogge recommended this package, and Li Du decided to choose it himself, considering the financial situation of Hairui Group.
For the starter, he ordered a seafood salad with truffles, a mint and pepper English bean soup for the soup, and a king crab with a fresh milk sauce and a sea urchin lobster gratin for the main course.
After listening to his order, Rogge said, "I recommend a dish of roast duck and foie gras with cherry sauce, I think as a Chinese, you should like to eat roast duck, if you do, then don't miss it." ”
It was difficult to refuse, Li Du did not refuse, and added another main dish.
Don't worry about not being able to eat, this kind of restaurant is not designed to fill people!
Compared with the usual Western restaurant with a small basket of pre-dinner bread on the table, Joe Lubson's restaurant has a much more imposing opening, they come directly to a cart, which is full of all kinds of bread, choose at will!
