Chapter 425: Traditional Pastries
Seven auction items in an auction sold a total of nearly 80 million Huaxia coins, and just by selling these overlord jade carvings, Qin Yu's income exceeded the net worth of many people present. DustΓ η·£? Wen? Learn? Net
His 80 million is real money, without any exaggeration and fraud, unlike the hundreds of millions of net worth that people often say, counting assets such as company shares.
Although things like shares are also money to a certain extent, they are prone to inflated prices, and it is still difficult for those so-called billionaires with a net worth of hundreds of millions to let him take out 80 million cash at a time.
Even Qin Yu, most of his property is tied to several companies, and before that, he had not much cash left, and his net worth was recognized by the outside world as more than one billion, but the real situation was that he couldn't take out a hundred million.
Among the guests present today, a large part of them are bronze members and silver members, and these people themselves have assets of around 100 million, so these seven auction items are worth all the net worth of many people.
The auction ended perfectly, and Qin Yu, the host, stood in the center and said a few words, just to express gratitude and support.
The auction lasted about an hour, and it was still relatively early, and most of the people stayed in groups to chat freely, and it can be said that two-thirds of the people participated in the auction, not for the jade carving, but for making contacts.
Ma Songbai and the others were not in a hurry to leave, this time it happened that Fang Wenbo was also in Jiangnan Province, so they participated in the auction with him, and several old acquaintances got together to drink and chat.
After greeting a few guests, Qin Yu also walked over to them, picked up his wine glass and said with a smile: "Thank you for coming over to support you in your busy schedule, I will do it first as a respect."
"What else is polite between us?" Liu Qingying smiled and said, "I tasted several flavors of pastries just now, and found that each one is very suitable for the taste, and I will pack three boxes of each one in a while, no problem, right?"
"No problem, nothing else, the pastry tube is full, but this thing has a high sugar content, don't eat too much at once."
When Liu Qingying first met Qin Yu, she went to see him because she had fatty liver and high blood sugar, so Qin Yu was clear about her problems.
"I also think this pastry is good, I don't know where you got it, if you also enter the pastry industry, it is estimated that Mr. Feng will have to retire early." Ma Songbai said with a smile.
The corners of Qin Yu's mouth twitched twice, this uncle is really not afraid of offending people, before Old Mr. Feng left, he dared to say this, and his confidence was too much.
"Mr. Ma, you are too unkind, making fun of me, a sixty or seventy-year-old man."
Mr. Feng obviously heard what he said just now, and walked over with a smile, holding a half-eaten mung bean cake in his hand.
Qin Yu suddenly had black lines on his head, he was really afraid of something, everyone is a pivotal figure in the business world, what they want is face, Ma Songbai said that a little too much.
However, to his surprise, Mr. Feng didn't seem to be angry, and he didn't know if he was hiding too deeply, or if he really didn't care.
Qin Yu is more inclined to the former, shopping malls are like battlefields, and it is very common to hide a knife in a smile, and on the surface, he doesn't seem to care, maybe he will stab you in the back when he stabs you.
"Brother Feng, don't say I'm not kind, I didn't even ask you for my daughter's birthday before, why did I dig you out this time?" Ma Songbai said casually.
Mr. Feng shook his head: "People are old, the body can't bear it, the birthday party is a party for you young people, I won't participate in the old man, fortunately I came out for a walk tonight, otherwise I wouldn't have the opportunity to taste such delicious pastries, you may not know, I basically don't eat our Feng Ji's self-produced pastries."
Hearing this, Qin Yu was stunned, he used to hear people say that people who do business don't use their own things, just because they know that there is a quality problem, could it be that Feng Ji pastries also have problems in this regard? If there really is, it is impossible for Old Man Feng to break the news in public, right?
"I don't eat Feng Kee's self-produced pastries because I eat too much, and in the past, in order to make pastries that customers like, I always had to try them again and again, until I wanted to vomit." Mr. Feng sighed: "It's the same taste when you eat and go, so I have rarely eaten Feng Ji's pastries in the past two years."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Yu immediately stood in awe, only to know that he was thinking wrong, Mr. Feng is an older generation of businessmen, and he pays attention to integrity, so he dares to try the pastries he made, and in order to satisfy customers, he may have to try a pastry thousands of times, this spirit is very rare in today's business world.
"Feng Ji pastry has long become a classic, thinking back to the previous economic conditions, Feng Ji pastry is a luxury in my mind!" Liu Qingying said with a smile.
"Now it's not as good as before, now the pastry business is getting more and more difficult to do, especially traditional pastries, young people don't like to eat very much, and in a few years, maybe you go to Feng Ji pastries, it will be difficult to see traditional pastries, all become bread cakes and the like."
Mr. Feng said, his expression became much more lonely, and even Ma Songbai and the others were slightly sad.
What he said is indeed the truth, Qin Yu can also feel this change, when I used to go to a small shop in Luoxia Town when I was a child, I could always see a lot of sugar cakes and pastries on the shelves, but now they have become all kinds of biscuits and fries, with the rise of various foreign fast food, young people love fried chicken burgers, and there are very few people who like to eat traditional pastries.
"Mr. Feng, the last time I went to the direct store of Feng Ji Pastry, the business inside is very prosperous, even if traditional pastries are not popular, making Western-style pastries can still maintain a good business, you don't have to worry about it." Qin Yu persuaded.
Mr. Feng nodded and said: "From the perspective of a businessman, there is indeed no need to worry, the shop has changed to Western-style pastries, but it is more popular and makes more money, but from the perspective of traditional pastry craftsmen, I am not reconciled!" β
Qin Yu understood that Mr. Feng was different from these businessmen who only wanted to make money, he was not only running a business, but also a traditional culture, he was not worried about the business in the store, but worried that the traditional pastries would decline and no one would care about them in the future.
This is not an exaggeration, many traditional cultural crafts are facing inheritance problems, in the face of the impact of Western culture, many of the precious cultural wealth inherited by the older generation have no successors, Qin Yu has seen a lot of related news.
Many years ago, the society has paid attention to this, but it still can't completely change the status quo, take traditional pastries as an example, if it weren't for Qin Yu's whimsical idea to entertain guests with divine pastries, maybe many people present would not think of traditional pastries and other foods.
"Doctor Qin, I have a reluctant request, old man, can you let me meet the pastry chef who makes these pastries?" Mr. Feng said suddenly.
Qin Yu smiled bitterly, these pastries were all directly transmitted by the shopkeeper Liu after they were made in the Divine Realm, and the pastry chefs were all in the Divine Realm, how could they meet Old Man Feng?
Seeing his expression, Mr. Feng was slightly embarrassed and said, "I'm sorry, I was abrupt." β
"The old gentleman misunderstood, I didn't mean anything else, I don't hide it, I made these pastries myself."
At the beginning, Qin Yu got a lot of snack making experience from Shopkeeper Liu, making these pastries was just a piece of cake, but he didn't want to waste time on this, so he directly customized it from the God Realm, but now that Mr. Feng brought it up, he didn't want to disappoint this respectable old man, so he told a white lie.
"You made these pastries yourself?!" Liu Qingying's eyes widened suddenly, she really didn't see that Qin Yu still had this hand.
"To be precise, I learned how to make these pastries and instructed other pastry chefs to make them." Qin Yu's face was not red, and his heart was not beating.
Everyone opened their mouths, looking incredulous, and after a while, Mr. Feng smiled: "Not long ago, I saw the news that Dr. Qin went to the restaurant to be a guest chef on Weibo, and the old man thought you were just playing, but I really didn't expect that you also have such attainments in traditional pastries, which is really eye-opening!" β
"What kind of attainment do I have, I just know a little about the skin, and it's not worth mentioning compared to the old gentleman." Qin Yu smiled very modestly.
After thinking about it, Mr. Feng looked at Qin Yu with expectant eyes and said, "Doctor Qin, since you have mastered the skills of making these pastries, then I will not beat around the bush, I would like to ask you to cooperate with our Feng Ji Pastry and work together to carry forward the traditional pastries!" β
Liu Qingying and Ma Songbai both focused their eyes on Qin Yu, feeling very speechless, this guy seemed to be able to encounter business opportunities casually, and doing business was too easy for him.
