Chapter 1062
Cheng Xiaoxiao didn't understand why Bastian did this, but she still felt honored that her idol could be so respected.
Soon the dishes she ordered for Xia Ruofei and Ling Qingxue were ready.
When Cheng Xiaoxiao served the two, he also brought the authentic Burgundy snails presented by Bastian and the precious bottle of Houbowang dry red.
"Mr. Xia and Mr. Ling, this is a gift from Manager Bastian!" Cheng Xiaoxiao put the Burgundy snails and red wine on the table and said, "I wish you two a happy meal!"
Cheng Xiaoxiao has a good grasp of proportions. After she opened the wine for the two, she quietly retreated.
She knew that she had asked Xia Ruofei for an autograph and a group photo before, but she had already disturbed the two of them, and now she must not interfere with their meal.
Of course, Cheng Xiaoxiao didn't go far, just kept a close eye on Xia Ruofei and Ling Qingxue nearby, making sure that if they needed anything, she would appear as soon as possible.
Xia Ruofei and Ling Qingxue enjoyed an authentic and delicious French meal. When they were about to leave after paying the bill, Bastian appeared, put his business card in both hands, and said, "Mr. Xia, thank you for visiting the corner restaurant, This is my business card, please call me directly next time you need a meal, the corner restaurant will always have your place!"
Xia Ruofei took the business card and put it away, smiled and said, "Okay, thank you Mr. Bastian!"
He didn't send Bastian a business card of his own, and Bastian didn't take it personally.
In Bastian's view, Xia Ruofei's status is naturally many levels higher than him, and how can Xia Ruofei's contact information be given to others casually? It's normal not to give him a business card!
Bastian doesn't expect to make friends like Xia Ruofei, he just hopes to forge a good relationship and let Xia Ruofei have a good impression of him, which is enough.
Xia Ruofei drove Ling Qingxue back to the company. On the way, Ling Qingxue said with a smile: "Ruofei, that manager attaches great importance to you! It's both food and wine, and it's actually a 90-year-old Hou Bowang dry red! We have a meal. Consumption is not worth the price of a glass of wine!"
Xia Ruofei said with a smile: "If you bow down to someone, you must ask for something!"
"What does he have to ask you?" Ling Qingxue asked curiously.
Xia Ruofei said with a smile: "You are also in the catering industry, would you have no idea?"
Ling Qingxue suddenly realized,
Said: "You mean... Bastian hopes to buy some top-quality ingredients from Taoyuan Company, such as... the best truffles you mentioned just now?"
"I guess that's the case!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "but he was too embarrassed to say it!"
"But aren't all your company's truffles auctioned on Hong Kong Island?" Ling Qingxue asked in confusion, "Isn't the auction just for the highest bidder? What's the use of having a good relationship with you?"
"We can't all be the best truffles that can be auctioned, right?" Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "Those with slightly lighter weights, although not up to the standard of the auction, are still very good for western restaurants. Precious food!"
"Oh! I understand!" Ling Qingxue said, and then asked with a smile, "If Feifei, you shouldn't be bought by a bottle of wine, right?"
Xia Ruofei laughed and said, "What do you think?"
"Definitely not!" Ling Qingxue pursed her lips and smiled, "Our President Xia owns the winery! By the way, you asked me to bring back that sweet wine a few days ago, and my dad praised it after drinking it. Woolen cloth!"
"Really?" Xia Ruofei said, "If Uncle Ling likes it, I'll get him a few more bottles next time! Drinking one or two glasses of this noble rot wine in moderation every day is also very good for middle-aged and elderly people. I heard that It softens blood vessels!"
"Yeah! Don't tell him yet! Lest he drink too much again!" Ling Qingxue said, "There are only two bottles now, so he will drink a little more!"
"Haha! I listen to you!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "Just tell me in advance if you need to!"
The two talked and chatted, and soon came to the downstairs of Lingji Catering Headquarters.
"I'm leaving!" Ling Qingxue said, "Drive carefully!"
After speaking, Ling Qingxue pushed the door and got out of the car.
"Qingxue!" Xia Ruofei leaned out and shouted, "Will you go back with me at night? We haven't had that for a few days..."
Ling Qingxue's face suddenly became hot - Xia Ruofei's volume is not low, if she is heard by the security guard at the door, her prestige will be wiped out...
Ling Qingxue walked quickly to the driver's side and said in a low voice, "Ruofei, you're going to die! Why are you talking so loudly?"
Xia Ruofei said innocently: "I...Is there anything shameful about this? I mean we haven't practiced together for a few days. You can't say this kind of thing so loudly, right?"
"You mean cultivation?" Ling Qingxue's eyes widened.
"Of course... what do you think?" Xia Ruofei asked, and then deliberately exaggerated to show a sudden realization, pointing to Ling Qingxue and said, "You shouldn't think it is... Then what? Daughter-in-law, I found that you are now It's getting worse and worse!"
Ling Qingxue was so angry that she put her foot on the door and said, "You are deliberately misleading me! Why is it so bad!"
After finishing speaking, Ling Qingxue glared at Xia Ruofei angrily, turned and walked towards the company.
Xia Ruofei shouted behind her: "Hey, haven't you answered me yet? Do you want to pick you up after get off work later?"
Ling Qingxue really wanted to reject this bad guy outright, but she couldn't bear the temptation to cultivate, and finally turned her head back and said, "I want to work overtime, you can come back later..."
Xia Ruofei said with a wide-eyed smile, "Yes!"
After teasing Ling Qingxue a little, Xia Ruofei felt quite happy, he hummed a song and drove back to Taoyuan Building.
Xia Ruofei remembered the thought at the corner western restaurant just now, and when he returned to the office, he called Feng Jing and Dong Yun to the office.
After the two of them arrived, Xia Ruofei said straight to the point: "President Feng, President Dong, the next season of truffles is coming. If we hold another auction on Hong Kong Island in the near future, what do you think?"
Feng Jing immediately said, "Can the chairman still get that top-quality truffle? If we do another auction, of course, it will be much more beneficial to our company! It just happened that the company has become so popular on the Internet recently, so it's time to strike while the iron is hot!"
Although Dong Yun hadn't joined the job at the last auction, she had heard about the Taoyuan Company's Hong Kong Island auction, and she also said, "Chairman, if conditions permit, such an auction would be better if it were established. Our company's high-end brand image, the benefits are self-evident!"
Dong Yun, like Feng Jing, did not mention the income.
Because she also read the company's relevant information after joining the company, and knew that the proceeds from the Hong Kong Island auction did not enter the company's account, but were transferred to an overseas offshore company that Xia Ruofei actually wholly-owned.
However, Feng Jing and Dong Yun didn't think there was anything wrong with this, because whether it was top-quality abalone or top-quality truffles, they were not actually produced by Taoyuan Company, but Xia Ruofei himself got them from other channels, but they were linked to Taoyuan Company. Just for sale.
Although most of the shares in Taoyuan Company belonged to Xia Ruofei, after all, they still gave a little bit to Feng Jing, including other executives who also had a small amount of reward shares, so it is reasonable that these earnings are not included in the company's account.
To put it simply, in their opinion, the fame is given to Taoyuan Company, and the money earned cannot be transferred to Taoyuan Company. In that case, Xia Ruofei will also distribute dividends to Feng Jing and other executives in proportion. There is no reason for this!
Xia Ruofei said with a smile: "I want to make this auction bigger, not only truffles, but also top-quality abalone. In addition, I can also get a few hundred-year-old ginseng, plus our best iron sheets. Fengdou and Cordyceps sinensis, I thought, since we want to do it, let’s do it a bit bigger and make our name completely! In the future, as long as everyone mentions high-end ingredients and Chinese herbal medicines, we can think of our Taoyuan Company!”
"Chairman, can the ingredients and medicinal materials you just mentioned ensure the highest quality?" Feng Jing couldn't help but said excitedly, "If that's the case, then that's great!"
Except for Tiepi Fengdou, which is produced by Taoyuan Company, several other things, including Cordyceps sinensis, are actually provided by Xia Ruofei himself. Feng Jing only knows that Xia Ruofei has a very strong channel and can get a lot of good things. In fact, including Tiepi Fengdou, it is only processed in Taoyuan Company. The Dendrobium candidum as the raw material is also provided by Xia Ruofei.
"No problem!" Xia Ruofei said, "Just leave the auction to me! What I'm worried about now is that the company has just moved its headquarters, can you take care of your energy?"
"This is no problem!" Feng Jing said, "Our company's team has become more and more mature, and with the strong support of Hengfeng Group on Hong Kong Island, there is no problem in preparing for such an auction!"
Dong Yun also said: "Chairman! We promise to complete the task!"
Xia Ruofei nodded and said: "That's good! This matter is settled for the time being! Mr. Feng has dealt with Hengfeng many times, and this time you are responsible for connecting with them. Tell them about our intentions first. What are the specific auction items, including the specific quantity, I will tell you as soon as I am sure!"
"Okay!" Feng Jing said simply.
Then Xia Ruofei turned his attention to Dong Yun and said, "As for the coordination between the front and rear, including some specific work in the preliminary preparation, it will be handed over to Director Dong!"
"No problem!" Dong Yun said, "I will do my best to assist President Feng and meticulously prepare for this auction!"
"OK!" Xia Ruofei said, "If there is enough time, I hope that in a week or two, no more than half a month at the latest, an auction will be held on Hong Kong Island! The overall plan, including how to preheat in the early stage, how to promote it, And what kind of guests to invite, it's up to you to communicate with Hengfeng, I don't care about this!"
Feng Jing had long been accustomed to Xia Ruofei's practice of throwing her hands away, and said with a smile, "Leave it to us!"
...
In the evening, Xia Ruofei first drove to Walmart to buy some vegetables, and then went to Lingji Catering Headquarters to pick up Ling Qingxue, and the two returned to Taoyuan Farm together.
After dinner, the two immediately went upstairs to practice again, and ended their practice at eight or nine o'clock in the evening. In fact, they practiced together for almost three or four days.
As expected by Xia Ruofei, Ling Qingxue's cultivation level directly broke through to the second level of Qi training in this practice, and the foundation is quite solid.
Originally, Xia Ruofei was going to send Ling Qingxue back to the city, but she insisted that she could drive by herself.
Ling Qingxue also felt that it was very hard for Xia Ruofei to accompany her to practice. She felt distressed if she went back and forth so late.
Xia Ruofei thought about it and felt that there was nothing unsafe to drive, and with Ling Qingxue's current cultivation level, even if she really encountered some kind of danger, or she was a childish person, even if she had never practiced any martial arts, just relying on infuriating qi would be enough for ordinary people. It won't be her opponent, so there's really nothing to worry about.
Therefore, Xia Ruofei finally agreed with Ling Qingxue to drive back by himself.
Ling Qingxue drove away the Mercedes-Benz sedan that Xia Ruofei had been using for the past few days. Xia Ruofei was going to go to work with the company's shuttle bus tomorrow, and then had lunch with Ling Qingxue at noon, and drove the car back to the company by the way.
After Ling Qingxue left, Xia Ruofei simply returned to the room and entered the space to count the items.
The truffles collected last time were all stored in the space. He roughly counted them, and there were at least twenty pieces of truffles about the same size as the last auction on Hong Kong Island, which was enough for the auction.
In addition, there are more than 50 pieces of relatively light weight. Of course, this is only relative. In fact, three or four hundred grams of truffles are already relatively large in the outside world.
These truffles are obviously not suitable for auction at auction, because it will easily lower the image of Taoyuan Company as a high-end food supplier.
However, Xia Ruofei was not used to the taste of truffles himself. It was useless to keep these truffles. Bastian's figure could not help but appear in his mind.
For corner restaurants, if these truffles can be sold to them, they are naturally eager for it. After all, the restaurant is still for the public. The top-level ingredients will always only be tasted by a small wave of people at the top of the pyramid. If the restaurant can introduce Some relatively small, but very high-quality truffles are also a boost to the restaurant's brand.
However, Xia Ruofei did not immediately decide to sell these truffles that are not going to be brought to the auction to the corner restaurant - even if they want to sell, they must wait until after the auction. At this time, all the focus is on the auction, and any possible distraction from the outside world The things of attention must be put after the auction.
Wild mountain ginseng is also ready-made, Xia Ruofei went directly to the Yuan Dynasty and dug three out.
At the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, the time flow rate was 30 times, and the environment was so favorable, so wild ginseng was also constantly multiplying. Now a small ginseng forest has been formed there. If it is outside, such intensive planting of ginseng will definitely cause nutrients. Insufficient, and there will be no hidden dangers in this area in the spiritual map space.
The three old ginsengs are basically two or three hundred years old, and it is more than enough to get them to the auction.
Then he arranged for Xia Qing to follow the previous method, using the time difference in flow rate, to quickly cultivate some top-quality large abalone, and use this time to directly make dried abalone.
Cordyceps sinensis and Tiepi Fengdou, Taoyuan Company has ready-made, as long as you pick out the best quality and send them to the auction together.
Xia Ruofei stayed in the spiritual map space for a while, and then returned to the outside world.
He took a shower in the bathroom, and when he returned to his room, he remembered what Ling Qingxue posted in the post bar at the corner restaurant today, and couldn't help but pick up his mobile phone and click on the post bar to take a look.
At a glance, Xia Ruofei couldn't help opening his eyes wide...
