Shi Lei's invitation surprised Shi Lei and didn't reflect it for a while, but after confirming that he had heard it correctly, Shi Lei happily agreed. This may be another opportunity for cooperation, and at least it will be a good thing to be able to gain the friendship of the chief.

To Shi Lei's surprise, this turned out to be a banquet in the nature of a family banquet. In addition to Shi Lei and Laura, there were only the chief's family, and their family was all here. Whether it is the two princes, or the two Lhoba sisters with big eyes (hello beauty), and of course, Princess Haya are also present.

The sheikh served them a table of traditional Arabic cuisine, a variety of grilled meats, and a whole roast lamb served at the end. Although the method is lackluster, the taste is still very good.

After all, they've been focusing on one or two ways of cooking for so many years. The chef is still the royal chef, and the taste of all kinds of barbecue is amazing. At least for Shi Lei, a standard carnivore, Shi Lei can still enjoy such a table of dishes.

After the final dish roasted whole lamb was served, the family feast ended quickly. Shi Lei and Laura were drinking black tea with local characteristics while tasting dim sum, which was a more suitable time for chatting.

It's just that half a cup of sugar is added to this black tea, which is a little sweet and greasy. Fortunately, there are a few fresh mint leaves put in, with some coolness and fragrance, and the lingering aftertaste is still enjoyable.

It's just that all kinds of sweets, collectively known as halwa, really make the two of them worried. These foods are already stuffed with all kinds of sweet flavors, and they are sprinkled with a thick layer of frosting, and the sugar is drizzled with honey, and the honey is topped with a layer of sugar.

If you taste a little, your mouth will be full of honey and sweet. But as long as you eat a little more, you will silently think of Tang Seng.

Because Shi Lei inexplicably remembered the sentence "The elder is surnamed Tang." Sweet to sadness", as long as you eat too much of this kind of dim sum, you will definitely eat hurt.

I really don't know if the sugar metabolism of these people is different from normal people, and this way of eating sugar is not afraid of diabetes You said, at least Shi Lei felt that his urine might have a sweet taste.

"Thank you very much, Your Excellency, for inviting us to such a banquet, and we are so flattered. We would also like to thank our beloved Princess Haya for providing us with such an opportunity to participate in this high-profile horse racing event.

Much appreciated. Shi Lei must express this word of gratitude.

"You're welcome, didn't you also send a Pudley antique shotgun as a gift? So you don't have to be embarrassed. His Excellency the Chief waved his hand, signaling that he should not care.

"The shotgun is just a simple gift, and I can't express my gratitude, so I'm going to give a foal of an Arabian horse to His Excellency the Chief, which can be regarded as a token of gratitude to Your Excellency." Shi Lei bowed and gestured.

"Well, there's no need to give me Arabian horses, you know, I'm not lacking them here, and of course I'm glad of your kindness.

But I think if you can agree to sell me another one. I'll be very happy if your two horses give birth to foals.

Of course I'll give you a fair price. "Your Excellency the Chief expressed his thoughts.

"Then like Princess Haya, I'll give you another one of their offspring, and it's up to you to choose it yourself." Shi Lei said generously.

"Nope. Well, Princess Haya and I will buy your foal at the market price, and it would be nice if you could let us pick them first. The chief said firmly to Shi Lei, "No need to say any more. That's it. Seeing that Shi Lei still wanted to hold on, the chief waved his hand and said.

"Okay, thank you for the generosity of the chief and Princess Haya. This became my successful sale of two foals. Shi Lei agreed with a smile.

Anyway, these Middle Eastern tyrants are really not bad for money. They are happy to be able to buy good things. To be able to pre-sell the foal at a price that is destined to be cheap, Shi Lei is also very happy. Look at this business opportunity to grasp, and sure enough, when you come to dinner, you get the opportunity to cooperate.

"Also, as far as I know, you seem to be very good at selecting and domesticating animals. I've also followed the online table of several fights about the dogs in your ranch. They are not only very heroic, but also very intelligent and united.

I just need a batch of hounds, I wonder if you can sell me some? The chief asked kindly.

"Well, of course, how about I give you all the ten Dogo dogs that I participated in the battle at the Fox River Ranch before?" Shi Lei thought about it and made up his mind to send out the Dogo dog.

The Pitbulls on the ranch are too small to give them away. Caucasian dogs are big enough, but their fur is too long to adapt to the desert climate. And the weight of the Caucasus is too great for hunting here.

The Arabian Hound and the like here are all slender and slender dogs, and they are basically hairless to adapt to the hot weather here.

And the Dogo not only has a wealth of combat experience, but also has a brilliant record, and the body shape is also more suitable, after all, the Dogo dog was originally bred to be used as a hunting dog.

"Well, I also think the Dogo is the most suitable. In this way, I will pay 2 million dollars for your ten Dogo dogs. Do you think it's appropriate? The chief said happily.

"Of course, these ten Dogo dogs can't take any more money from you. We've said before that we're going to show our gratitude by giving you some gifts, and since you love these dogs, there's no better way to give them to you. You don't have to excuse yourself. Shi Lei said firmly.

Seeing that Shi Lei's attitude was more resolute, the chief nodded and agreed to Shi Lei's suggestion. Anyway, these things are not particularly precious things for the two of them.

The most important thing for the chief is to value the two racehorses in Shi Lei's hands, especially when he knows that these two champion-level racehorses will breed foals together.

Such a foal must be an unavoidable horse, of course, you have to take this opportunity to take it. Who made the chief himself a man who loved horses very much?

Shi Lei and the chief chatted happily there, and the two princes, who also liked to raise horses, also had a common topic. On the other side, Laura was accompanying Princess Haya and talking about the topics they were interested in, and fashion and clothing were definitely topics that could not be avoided.

Princess Lhoba, who has big eyes and big eyes, is also listening to their chat with interest. Princess Lhoba is now at the age of beauty, or as long as she is a girl. No matter how big or small, they have a nature to love beauty. And Laura, the winner of the Best Dressed Award, is undoubtedly a good person to ask for.

After a pleasant meeting with the chief's family, Shi Lei and Laura's trip to Dubai can end perfectly. The two hurried back to the Stone Ranch, where the wine launch organized by McRae was about to arrive, and the two of them had to make some proper preparations.

On the day of the wine conference, Shi Lei and Laura changed into proper dresses and attended this important party together.

From the guests at this press conference, it is very clear that McRae has a huge influence in the wine industry.

Not only did the managers of many well-known wineries, winemakers and other heavyweights in the wine industry come, but most importantly, Robert? Parker. The world's most influential wine critic. A top authority in the industry known as the emperor of the wine kingdom and the dictator of the taste buds.

After his tasting, the perfect score of the wine can achieve at least 5% price increase in the same year, so the Parker rating system has a very strong impact on a wine.

Of course, he won't come here this time to just evaluate McRae and Xu Xiaoxiao's products, because that would be unfair. He knew that if all the wines came from the same winery, the score given would be biased, and the mixed personal emotional factors would be criticized.

But don't forget the Jì around Solvan, also known as the Central Valley of wine. It is a wine region on par with regions such as Napa Valley and Bordeaux. There is no shortage of wineries of all kinds, including several international premier wineries.

Take advantage of Parker's arrival this time. Winery that has new products to release has brought their new red wines with them, so that Parker can start a new round of blind tasting.

The most calm rating for Parker is definitely McRae's side. Let's not forget that McRae is also an international wine critic and has a very clear understanding of the quality of his wines. Both the possible score and the level he is at are very clear, so he is the most calm one.

And Shi Lei felt that even without Parker's affirmation, there were actually many people who would buy it just by relying on McRae's own name. It's just that there may not be an exact Parker score, and there will be more trouble in the circulation link. More have to rely on Shi Lei to expand sales channels by themselves. And with the affirmation of Parker's score, it is natural that many sales merchants of the corresponding level will come to the door by themselves.

In addition to the arrival of the most important connoisseur, Alexander also found a lot of hotel managers. Of course, Lincoln and Alexander were all there. There is also a fellow winery manager. Curry, who is also familiar with Xu Xiaoxiao, will certainly not miss it.

And Shi Lei's dormitory boss, Jiang Kun also came to the scene. After seeing Shi Lei, he was the first to come forward and hug Shi Lei warmly.

Jiang Kun did not live in the stone ranch this time, but lived with his wife Yao Yao on the side of the leisure ranch Alisa. It just so happens that it is closer to the winery, which is also convenient for them to discuss cooperation with the many wineries around Solvan.

In addition, Boss Zhao, who had a one-sided relationship with Shi Lei, also readily agreed to come. He does have a red wine business, and he also likes red wine from the bottom of his heart, so he doesn't want to miss such an opportunity.

And Shi Lei finally knew the name of this Boss Zhao, his name is Zhao Wuxin (a cameo by the book friend "Zhong Wuxin"). In addition, he also brought a friend of his, who is said to be one of the largest imported wine merchants in China, Yu Political Commissar (book friend cameo).

At first, Shi Lei was surprised when he heard this name, but the business card handed over by the person showed that the person was called this name, not his position.

And Zhao Wuxin teased him with a smile, saying that when this political commissar Yu was a soldier before, he really worked as a political commissar. This made Shi Lei a little speechless, Shi Lei could only say that there are really any names in China, and the name of the people is enough to suit the situation.

After greeting all the guests he invited, Shi Lei and the others waited for the opening of the press conference. (To be continued......)
