"Everyone, everyone, the time is almost up. Please take your seats!" Seeing that the time was almost up, Nakamura Masaru also walked to the stage, nodding and bowing to everyone, while inviting these people to sit down in their respective seats.
These people also came here for the big fish, so naturally they didn't make any mistakes, and they all cooperated and sat down there.
Jiang Hai and Pula Walton were sitting in the distance, watching the situation of these people. Naturally, they would not drive up prices, but it was still necessary to come and watch. Soon the auction was held at Nakamura Masa. started under the auspices of .
It wasn't Jiang Hai's first time participating in this thing, so naturally he didn't care much, he just sat there and watched.
The auctions this time are basically some seafood, such as the ten kilograms of black fish roe just now. In addition, there are some other tuna, including yellow fin and blue fin. These are all pula- Walton collected it himself.
Then there are some huge crabs, lobsters and the like. Of course, the size of each one must exceed 40 kilograms. Otherwise, there is no need to auction it. After all, the lobsters of similar size in Jiang Hai Manor also weigh more than 30 kilograms. Woolen cloth.
The auction was very fast. In less than an hour, almost everything was auctioned. Ninety percent of the items found their own owners. Only one horsetail failed to be auctioned. Although this The fish was big, but the asking price was obviously a bit high. After all, it was not a very rare fish. Other than that, everything else had been sold.
"Next we will conduct the last auction, which is this bluefin tuna. The following is the condition of this fish. The body length...weight...the meat quality is rated S grade. Although it is not a spring auction now, we all know that, What is the purpose of this thing? The auction of the tuna below is starting. The starting price is 600,000 US dollars. Each bid must not be less than 50,000 US dollars. Let’s start!” As Nakamura Masaru finished speaking, an old man raised his hand. got up.
"One million!" After the old man raised his hand, he slowly shouted out a number. Of course, this record-breaking tuna is not only worth this price. The old man did this to tell those small merchants that this record-breaking tuna is worth more than this price. Fish is not something they can think about.
"This is Toshio Ono, the oldest three-star Michelin chef in the world, the son of Ono Jiro. He is also the president of the current three-star Michelin restaurant, Sukiyabashi Jiro (the president of the island country is equal to the chairman, president) The general manager is)." Seeing the man raise his hand, Pula Walton also introduced him to Jiang Hai.
Jiang Hai has also heard of this person, the legendary god of sushi. However, Jiang Hai does not eat raw food, and most sushi is raw. Jiang Hai does not like vegetarian food, so he does not like this restaurant. not interested.
"1.2 million US dollars." At this time, a middle-aged man wearing glasses raised his hand.
"This is the person in charge of Kanda Cuisine." Looking at this middle-aged man, Pula Walton also said to Jiang Hai.
"Kanda?" After hearing her words, Jiang Hai also glanced at her, what is the situation with this Kanda?
"Kanda is also a three-star Michelin restaurant. There are a total of thirteen three-star Michelin restaurants in Tokyo, so Michelin also rated Tokyo as the capital of gourmet food." Hearing Jiang Hai's words, Pula Walton smiled. Introduced.
After hearing her words, Jiang Hai shrugged. The ratings of Chinese people are still different from those of foreigners.
"1.5 million!" At this time, a foreigner raised his hand and said to the people around him with a smile.
"This is the executive chef of Quintessence. This is also a three-star Michelin restaurant, but it only serves French cuisine." Seeing this person, Pula Walton followed up and introduced him, but Jiang Hai was a little confused. , what kind of tuna can a cook grab? Did he just come here to raise the price? In fact, this was indeed the case. He only barked once and never barked again.
Then Saito Sushi Restaurant asked for 1.7 million, Mizutani Sushi Restaurant asked for 1.85 million, and then the increase gradually dropped.
After all, although this fish is definitely worth more than two million dollars, who wouldn't want to spend less to buy it?
However, although the increase was not that scary, the bidding speed did not stop, slowly rising to over two million.
"Why are the only places that buy this fish are some sushi restaurants?" Looking at the people in front of him, Jiang Hai asked Pula Walton with some doubts, and then Pula Walton also introduced it to Jiang Hai. Let’s take a look at the island country’s cuisine.
In China, if any restaurant makes money, it must be a seafood restaurant, but it is different in the island country.
Because the most profitable restaurant in the island country is the sushi restaurant. This is really because the people in the island country really like to eat sushi.
The main thing about sushi is the craftsmanship, followed by the materials. Their biggest requirement is the freshness of the materials.
No matter how expensive rice is, how much is it worth? How much can kelp be worth no matter how expensive it is? The most expensive thing is the small piece of fish on top.
It's just such a tart, plus some seasonings. If you go to the sushi restaurants mentioned above, 20,000 to 30,000 yen per person will be just like playing, and it will be spent. This is still saying Not ordering anything expensive, just to be full.
Under such circumstances, in these restaurants, you may not be able to get a meal if you book it for half a month.
What's more, no one will be so fussy about eating sushi in these restaurants. Fifty thousand yen per person is not very high. If we receive 200 people a day, that is 10 million yen, nearly 100,000. U.S. dollars, a month's turnover of three million.
It has to be said that I didn't eat anything too expensive, such as this tuna.
This tuna, not to mention the meat around the gills, just the belly and midsection, would probably cost tens of thousands of yen per serving.
Even if they bought this fish for three million US dollars, they would definitely make money back.
Just as the sushi restaurants over there were raising their prices by 10,000 to 20,000 yuan, a voice suddenly rang out.
"2.75 million." As the voice sounded, everyone looked towards the voice. At that time, many sushi restaurants that were not so strong sighed, knowing that they could not compete this time.
The person they were looking at was a man in his early sixties. This man had a big square face. He was looking at the fish on the stage with a smile, as if it was what he had in his bag. generally.
"This person's name is Kiyoshi Kimura, and he is also the person most likely to buy our fish this time." Looking at this person, Pula Walton introduced it to Jiang Hai again, and Jiang Hai was also looking at this person. Man, but Jiang Hai felt that this man was not a cook.
"He is indeed not a cook, he is a president. When he was young, he established Kiyomura Company, but Kiyomura is just a company. There are two main brands under this company, one is Kisushi and the other is Samai Sushi. Although this The two sushis are not rated by Michelin, but they are the two most widely opened sushis in the island country. Among them, Samai Sushi is open 24 hours a day, and the income in the island country is quite considerable. It is precisely because of this that these sushi restaurants We can't compete with this real entrepreneur." Hearing Pula Walton mention Kiyomura, Jiang Hai also nodded. He also knew about Kiyomura. He had previously searched for bluefin tuna information in China, and there was also this company. According to the introduction, basically Fish King was the last one photographed by this company, and its strength is indeed strong.
Seeing this person joining the competition, 90% of the sushi restaurants gave up. In the end, the Saito family, which was also the same, added another 20,000, 2.77 million U.S. dollars, but then it was called Kimura. The clear bidding price of $2.85 million was covered.
When this price appears, it means that the auction is over.
The original price of this fish was only about 2.7 million U.S. dollars, but now it has been sold for an extra 150,000 U.S. dollars. This is good news.
The moment Nakamura was about to drop the hammer, this newly recorded fish belonged to Kiyoshi Kimura of Kiyo Village.
And he also stood up and accepted the congratulations from the people in the sushi restaurants around him. His Samadhi Sushi specializes in tuna, which is tuna, so he is bound to get this thing. As the auction ends, Everyone also left the stage one after another.
At this time, Nakamura came to Jiang Hai and Pula Walton and reported the results to them with a smile.
The most important thing about the auction is not to sell these things, but to promote Wal-Mart, and at the same time, tell people in these sushi restaurants that Wal-Mart will sell high-end seafood here in the future. In the island country, regular customers are a very important thing.
The island country is a very nostalgic country. Unlike China or the United States, where quality is the last word. The quality of the people here is on the one hand, and more importantly, they are quite nostalgic. For example, a person always goes to a convenience store near his home to buy something. Things, even if the things in this convenience store are more expensive than elsewhere, as long as the things are similar, he will keep coming here to buy them.
The same is true for these sushi restaurants. They all have familiar suppliers. If they want to get them to buy fish, they need this auction to let them know the quality of the fish from Wal-Mart, or to be precise, from Jiang Hai. .
Those who open sushi restaurants have extremely strict quality requirements, leaving them with the idea that it will be more conducive for Jiang Hai's seafood to enter the market of the island country, which can be regarded as opening up a new market. market.
"By the way, Mr. Kimura, the president of Kiyo Village, would like to invite Miss Pula and Mr. Jiang to have dinner..." After finishing the business, Nakamura said to Jiang Hai and Pula Walton. When he heard At his words, Jiang Hai shook his head.
"Maybe I won't be able to eat this meal, and I have to leave quickly, because those people are already staring at me!" Thinking about the feeling of being stared at at Tsukiji Market just now, Jiang Hai said seriously, and Pula-Wol After hearing his words, Dun became serious. (To be continued.)
