"If it's this size," Yao Xiaofei picked up the wooden abalone and looked at it, "it's about five abalones, five abalone is very common, and you can buy it everywhere in Hong Kong." If it's Japanese abalone, it's probably three or four thousand, and if it's South African abalone, it's about one or two thousand, and other places are cheaper, and I've seen hundreds. ”

"Can you tell if it's Japanese abalone or something else on the video?" Bai Wei asked.

"I can't see if it's done." Yao Xiaofei shook his head again and again, "The most famous abalone in Japan is net abalone, as the name suggests, there are net lines on it, these abalone do not have it, it can be determined that it is not net abalone." But what about the other kinds, it's a bit difficult. If you can eat it, maybe...... It's also not reliable. "These abalone are braised and poured with a very thick juice, and if you can see it, then you are not an expert but a god.

"Thank you, Professor Yao." Bai Wei invited Yao Xiaofei down, turned around to face the camera, "Now everyone knows very well that this so-called double-headed abalone is just a gimmick." There are only 30 double-headed abalone in the world, how can there be more than 60 double-headed abalone at this birthday banquet? As for the other famous dish at the birthday banquet, lobster, we also invited experts. ”

There are no experts who specialize in lobsters, and even if they do, they are not in the provincial capitals. This so-called lobster expert, who is actually the owner of the aquatic product market, watched the video, "This is Australian lobster, and the wholesale price I sold it was about 120 yuan a catty." ”

"Are lobsters so cheap now?" Bai Wei asked.

"Yes, everyone has a misunderstanding that lobsters are very expensive, but in fact, that was all in the past." The aquatic product boss talked eloquently, he is the aquatic product supplier of Wude Hotel, and it took 100,000 yuan to get this opportunity to sell advertisements on TV, "Now the price of aquatic products is high, but the price of lobster has fallen slightly, in comparison, it is very cost-effective to eat lobster." A better hemp shrimp also costs eighty or ninety yuan a catty, and the lobster is only one hundred and fifteen, and the lobster family is much more high-end and delicious than the hemp shrimp. ”

In fact, the hemp shrimp is full of meat, and most of the weight of the lobster is on the head, so there is no way to compare. Besides, which one of the hemp shrimp and lobster is delicious, maybe it's not true. The lobster meat is very fresh, but the meat is coarse, and at most it is said that each is good at winning.

"I used to eat lobster, and there were thousands of dishes for each dish, but now the price of lobster is much more affordable." Bai Wei said.

"Yes, if you don't believe it, you can go to the aquatic market to find my stall, Australian lobster is 150 yuan a catty, with a food stall, which can be processed and eaten on the spot." The fishery boss said, "A table of seafood including lobster three meals, oysters, scallops, and sea urchin fried rice costs 998, you heard it right, as long as 998, 1,000 yuan." ”

"It's so cheap." Bai Wei said.

It's really too lax, even if you pay 100,000 yuan for advertising, you can't sell advertisements so blatantly. Huang Wenbin knows what the 998 is all about, there are three lobsters, but only half of them. The lobster head is boiled in porridge, the body is used to make sashimi, and the remaining shrimp shells are broken and mixed in the pork meatballs, which are called shrimp meatballs. Oyster scallops are not an expensive thing, and he can make a profit of five hundred yuan in 998.

"Thank you, Cow Expert." Bai Wei invited the aquatic product boss to go down, "Abalone is not a precious double-headed abalone, but a very common five-headed abalone. Australian lobsters are not a rare thing, and this so-called million-dollar birthday banquet seems to be worthy of its name. We, the audience, said, don't care about the food, what about the wine, it's a million bottles of Moutai. Next, we have asked the section chief of the sales department of Moutai Distillery to give us an answer, hello section chief. ”

"Hello host." Section Chief Hua nodded, he came to the real Moutai factory, came here to run business, and temporarily came over, "Our Moutai liquor can be regarded as the most high-end in China, but there has never been such a sky-high price of one million bottles." Thirty-year-old Moutai, we also have some inventory ourselves, and the internal allocation price is 8,000 yuan. ”

"It only costs 8,000 yuan." Bai Wei said. Anyway, it's an internal allocation price, and I'm not afraid to blow it casually. How many people can really know the internal price of Moutai, and even if they do, who will be bored and run to refute the rumors, even if someone comes to refute the rumors, just ignore him.

"Yes, some people outside say how much we have for 10 years, how much for 20 years, and 30 years for 30 years, which is very irresponsible, as far as I know, it is generally hype. Especially for auctions, he found some excuses by himself, saying that he had auctioned 100,000, 200,000, 500,000, and 1 million, but in fact, no one bought them at all, and he got them back by himself. turned his head and took it out to entertain the guests, and said, "We drank a million of wine today, and people had to accept his love for a million." In fact, they are all deceptive. ”

"Is that the case this time around?" Bai Wei asked.

"I can't say this, but this time for the million-dollar birthday banquet, there are a few things that don't make sense." Section Chief Hua said, "First of all, the price difference between wine and food is too far. Generally speaking, if you serve a thousand yuan of wine, you will have to pay at least six or seven hundred for food. It is impossible to say that a bottle of Moutai is served, and then some peanuts and pork head meat are drunk. You may have done this by drinking it yourself, but there is absolutely no treat. Since the wine worth millions is served, how can the dishes cost six or seven hundred thousand, right? It is unreasonable to spend a million dollars of wine but only use a few thousand yuan of dishes. ”

"I don't think it's right for you to say that." Bai Wei said.

"There is a second point, this wine is claimed to be one million bottles, this time it is said to be at least six million, that is, there are only six bottles, there are more than 60 people attending this birthday banquet, more than a dozen people drink a bottle of wine, what can they drink? At most, it's a little more than one cup per person. Section Chief Hua said.

"Maybe they drank in other bars." Bai Wei said, "I heard that in addition to the thirty-year-old ones, there are many ordinary Moutai. ”

"After drinking millions of wines, do other wines still taste? You can't always take something that is obviously a make-up. "If you really want to appreciate fine wine, how can you mix 30-year-old wine with ordinary wine?" With this way of drinking, can you still taste the difference between 30 years of Moutai? It can be seen that this is not a wine tasting, or a broad. ”

"Is that hype?" Bai Wei asked.

"I don't know if it's hype." Section Chief Hua was noncommittal, "Finally, if you look at this environment, that is, an ordinary hotel, is it a little worse to hold a birthday banquet worth millions?" You don't say million, take out 500,000 to decorate, it's completely different. ”

It's no wonder that Huang Wenbin will spend this money, but the Wude Hotel is actually a temporary building, and it won't take long for the new hotel to be built. The Wude Hotel will be demolished, and now the decoration is not all wasted. Besides, high-ranking officials like Huo Renjie set up banquets, so naturally they can't go to a five-star hotel or anything, it's too high-profile, and they have to go to a more private place like Wude Hotel.

"Section Chief Hua's analysis is very exciting, and I believe everyone has their own judgment on this million-dollar birthday banquet." Bai Wei said.

Section Chief Hua still has something to say: "As the most high-end liquor manufacturer in China, our Moutai factory is often used to hype, and after a while, it is said that the Moutai on the market is all fake, and it has really been drunk long ago." After a while, it will be said that we have special supplies for the army, and what other special supplies for the South China Sea are all hype. If you need aged wine, you can directly find our distributors, three-year-old, five-year-old, ten-year-old, twenty-year-old, twenty Chinese New Year's Eve-year-old, we are also stepping up development, I believe we will meet you soon. ”

"For those hype, everyone should pay more attention, be careful to discern, and don't be fooled." Bai Wei said, "But this million-dollar birthday banquet is not only a matter of eating and drinking, but also a matter of bribery." We got permission from the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection to go to the city detention center to interview the criminal suspect Mao Qiang. ”

Mao Qiang's face appeared on the screen, and he dug his nostrils very calmly: "Is the camera on?" It's really open...... Actually, here's the thing. He stepped over the camera's face and cried, "I'm sorry for the motherland, I'm sorry for the people, I'm sorry for the audience in front of the TV, I lied to you, Zhang Lihua didn't bribe me." ”

"That's not what you said yesterday." Bai Wei asked.

"Zhang Lihua's eldest brother, Zhang Liguo, gave me 50,000 yuan and asked me to frame his younger brother Zhang Lihua." Mao Qiang said, "When their brothers split up, they had a feud, so Zhang Liguo gave me money, let me think of framing Zhang Lihua, and said that I would give me 5 million after success." It happened that this time Zhang Lihua held a birthday banquet for Chairman Huo, and I also received an invitation, so I took the lead in concocting the rumors of a million-dollar birthday banquet, spreading it widely, slandering Zhang Lihua's reputation, and framing him for giving me 280,000 yuan, and trying to frame him in prison, it was all my fault. I wanted to ask Zhang Liguo for money after finishing my errand, but he didn't recognize it and didn't even answer the phone. Later, I was arrested by the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, and under the education of the comrades of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, I realized my mistake, took the initiative to confess the case, and fought for leniency. ”

This is called a rake, or the idea provided by Director Zhang, not only to deduct a basin on Zhang Liguo's head, but also to say that he does not give money for doing things, his reputation is bad, and no one will be willing to do things for him in the future. In this way, Zhang Liguo preached Director Zhang Huo Renjie and they took the money and didn't do anything, others would not believe it.

"I see." Bai Wei said, "Then how can you have evidence that Zhang Lihua transferred money to you?" ”

"I borrowed it from Chairman Huo in his name." Mao Qiang said, "Chairman Huo is about to retire and wants to buy his car, but he doesn't have so much money on hand, so I came up with the idea that I can borrow it from Zhang Lihua and put the money here first." Because of Chairman Huo's face, he didn't ask me for an IOU, so he was used by me. ”

"I see." Bai Wei said, "Do you know how much the birthday banquet cost?" ”

"I don't know very well," Mao Qiang said, "in order to lure Zhang Lihua, I told him that this is Chairman Huo's 60th birthday, and he is so familiar with your father, you must make it look good." Later, Zhang Lihua told me that he got six bottles of 30-year-old Moutai, and he would definitely be able to make a good birthday banquet. I'll just say take a million bottles of wine, it's not six million. He said that the fart was six million, all of which were hyped up to deceive people before, but in fact, it didn't cost much money at all when he bought it, he cooperated with the hotel owner in a few businesses to make some money, and in order to express his gratitude, the hotel owner gave him six bottles of Moutai. I heard that the hotel owner still has hundreds of bottles in his hand, and it is not worth much at all. ”
