[Chapter 1098 Cruel Food]
Old Black nodded without hesitation and said, “No problem! You can remit the money to your company’s account today…or any account you request Mr. Xia.”
Old Black thought of the last time he made peace with Xia Ruofei and paid For the “mental loss fee” of two million US dollars, Xia Ruofei asked him to transfer it to an offshore company account.
He also knows that the procedures for going overseas in China are a bit cumbersome, and many rich people like to set up overseas accounts.
A deposit of one million euros is not very high.
Although the average price of black truffles on the market is about several thousand euros per kilogram, and 50 kilograms will definitely be less than one million euros, but those are ordinary truffles, and they are the price of black truffles.
The truffles provided by Xia Ruofei must have both black truffles and white truffles, and these truffles of Xia Ruofei are not only large, but their overall quality is more than one grade higher than those on the market. Naturally, the price cannot be based on the average market price. estimate.
That’s why so many traditional truffle vendors and Michelin-starred restaurants are flocking to this auction.
Otherwise, with the annual sales volume of the Black family of several tons, how could the patriarch personally come to negotiate for a mere fifty kilograms of truffles?
Xia Ruofei thought for a while and said, “It’s the same account as last time. Besides… Mr. Black, I won’t sign any agreement with you. This requires your trust in me.”
Old Black froze for a moment, then smiled bitterly: “Xia …you really… well! It doesn’t matter if there is no agreement, I believe in your credibility!”
Xia Ruofei smiled noncommittally and said, “If there is no objection, then I wish us a happy cooperation!”
Xia Ruofei said this It seems a bit domineering, but the reason is very simple – he did not think about trading with the Black family in the name of the company, and he did not bring the company seal!
As for signing the agreement in his own name, Xia Ruofei also felt that it was meaningless. Anyway, as long as the Black family acted as agreed, he would not be able to break the contract.
If old Blake doesn’t accept it, it doesn’t matter much more than business can’t be done.
Xia Ruofei is so strong because of his indifferent attitude. Because he has nothing to ask for, he has no worries.
Old Blake showed a smile and said, “Happy cooperation!”
Xia Ruofei got up and poured two glasses of red wine, touched Old Blake lightly, and asked casually, “By the way, how is your George now?”
There was an embarrassed look on old Blake’s face.
George Black was disgraced by Xia Ruofei last time, and even in order to maintain the cooperative relationship, the old Black also deprived him of his heir status. This is not a face-to-face thing for the Black family.
Old Blake said: “I have revoked all his positions in the family company, and his heir status has been deprived, but as a member of the family, he still has the most basic guarantees every month, but Mr. Xia can rest assured , the monthly bill is not enough for him to continue the life he used to spend.”
Xia Ruofei nodded lightly, it is not bad for Old Black to do this, after all, George Black is the direct line of their family, and the blood relationship is continuous. Yes, it’s impossible for him to kick George Black out of the family.
Xia Ruofei is not worried about old Blake lying or perfunctory himself, because these are easy to find out, unless the Blake family attaches great importance to George Blake, makes him pretend to be very down, and secretly still focuses on cultivating him.
In the form of George Black’s straw bag, this possibility is infinitely close to zero.
After casually asking about George Blake, Xia Ruofei chatted with old Blake – after all, he was a guest, and he didn’t take the initiative to say goodbye. !
Old Blake also wanted to get closer to Xia Ruofei, so he praised many truffles produced by Taoyuan Company in his words, and of course he wanted to inquire about the origin of these truffles.
After all, there are only a few famous truffle producing areas in the world. Basically, the truffle business in the world is monopolized by those traditional truffle families. Xia Ruofei’s Taoyuan Company is like being born out of nowhere, with almost perfect products. grabbed a piece of the market share.
Of course, Xia Ruofei took the high-end route, and did not use the means of dumping to make the price of truffles plummet, nor would it cause too much impact on the global sales of dozens of tons of truffles every year, so Old Black was more curious. inquiring.
Xia Ruofei naturally diverted the topic, so old Blake stopped inquiring with interest.
The two chatted, and they talked about high-end ingredients – Xia Ruofei really has no topic to talk about, so two big men can’t stare at each other!
Besides, this is what the two of them are doing.
Old Black asked: “Mr. Xia, do you know if your company is involved in other high-end western food ingredients besides truffles?”
Xia Ruofei asked with a smile, “What are the high-end ingredients that Mr. Black is referring to?”
Old Black said: “Always Since then, French foie gras, truffles and caviar have been called the three major delicacy in the world. As for truffles, your company’s product is definitely this!”
Old Blake said while giving a thumbs up, and then continued: “It’s just not. Knowing foie gras and caviar, does your company have any products in this area? If so, I am looking forward to it!”
Xia Ruofei raised his eyebrows and asked, “Do your Black family also operate other food business?
” Blake smiled slightly and said, “Our family started out with truffles, and it took several generations of hard work to get to where we are now. Truffles are of course our most important business, but as the company grows, business expansion will naturally follow. Expansion, basically we are involved in high-end ingredients, of course, mainly in the mode of agency sales.”
Xia Ruofei also became a little interested. He leaned on the sofa, took a sip from the wine glass, and then asked: “Mr. Black, if you don’t mind, can you tell me about foie gras and caviar? Our company We
are also preparing to expand our business scope.”
Xia Ruofei didn’t lie, in fact, he had heard of the world’s three major delicacies, but he didn’t know much about it, but at least he knew, whether it was foie gras, caviar or Taoyuan now The truffle business that the company is already running is very profitable.
Making money is one aspect, and Xia Ruofei also pays special attention to the richness of the company’s product line and the company’s reputation.
As the three most well-known ingredients in the Western food field, Taoyuan Company must go the route of high-end ingredients, and it must be unavoidable. Since the Black family has a business in this area, they just took the opportunity to understand the situation.
As soon as Old Blake heard it, he knew that Taoyuan Company did not currently have the two products of foie gras and caviar, and he couldn’t help feeling a little disappointed.
However, he quickly adjusted and said enthusiastically: “Of course I don’t mind! Xia, then I’ll tell you about foie gras first. The foie gras mentioned here refers to French-style fat foie gras, and eating foie gras in France has already been done. It has a history of more than a thousand years. In those days, Julius Caesar highly praised this delicacy, and it is said that it has rich nutritional value, so it is a must-have menu for high-end western restaurants. But…”
Speaking of this, Old Blake’s conversation changed .
, said: “This dish is also known as the most cruel food in the world!”
Xia Ruofei was very curious when he heard the words, and couldn’t help asking: “The most cruel? Why do you say that?”
“This is similar to foie gras. It depends on the way of obtaining it.” Old Blake said, “What we call French-style foie gras is different from ordinary foie gras. In fact, this is the liver collected from the goose with fatty liver, and the weight is generally more than 700 grams. , is dozens of times that of ordinary foie gras. Why do geese get fatty liver? It is the result of manual intervention…”
Old Blake’s tone was a little low, and Xia Ruofei had a feeling of listening to a midnight ghost story, and couldn’t help but feel I felt a chill in my heart.
Old Black continued: “The young goslings were brought to the farm after birth. For the first 12 weeks, the goslings were squeezed into small cages, with only rows of necks exposed outside the iron fence, which were fixed on racks specially designed to train neck muscles. Go on. The farmer increases the amount of feeding every day, and tries to make the goose’s stomach into a dough bag. When the goose’s neck muscles and stomach are as strong as steel, the real torture begins… The
farmer will divide the goose’s stomach every day. Many times, a 30-centimeter-long hard tube was directly inserted into the goose’s stomach, and then at least 12 kilograms of food was poured into it every day! As a result, the liver’s volume increased abnormally due to the overloaded work. This kind of torture took 18 days before it was possible to’ Create a fatty liver that is ten times or even dozens of times larger than normal foie gras! And in order to prevent the geese from increasing their digestion due to exercise, in addition to being fixed in a very small space, the farmer will deliberately on the food formula. Reduce calcium, so these fat geese basically have rickets, they can only lie on their stomachs lazily every day until they die!” Xia Ruofei was horrified when he heard it

com presses the food inside, which is several times more painful than doing a gastroscope!
These geese are equivalent to receiving multiple “enhanced gastroscopes” every day, and then their stomachs are seriously distended anytime and anywhere, and the space for movement is extremely small. This is simply torture in hell!
It’s scary to think about!
“How can there be such an evil method?” Xia Ruofei couldn’t help sighing.
Old Blake shrugged and said, “It’s all because of profit! The profit margin of French foie gras is very large, so everyone will flock to it. Even if animal protection organizations protest every year, the effect is not obvious.”
Xia Ruofei nodded silently .
, he found that he no longer had the slightest interest in the French foie gras delicacy, and I am afraid that Taoyuan Company will never run the foie gras business.
However, at this time, Xia Ruofei’s heart moved slightly, and a whimsical idea sprung up in his mind…
The gentleness in the steel gun said that
this chapter made up for it.
There will be another chapter later, the steel gun is fighting today.
