Chapter 1110: Monica's message

It turned out that in two or three days, the popularity of Taoyuan Company also spread to the European continent along with the spread of online media and the European buyers who bid for the favorite items.

Europeans may not have too much feeling for abalone and ginseng, but for the best truffles, it is definitely a rush.

Now Taoyuan's truffles have become synonymous with the top truffles. Several Michelin-starred restaurants have taken the Taoyuan truffles and they have unexpectedly become popular. Many people with economic strength have called and asked to book truffles in advance. Feast.

This is probably the case in the world, because many super-rich people gathered in Hong Kong Island, and the auction transaction amount reached an amazing 100 million US dollars, making Taoyuan company the limelight. In turn, Taoyuan was notorious, and the restaurants that took the Taoyuan truffles were also rising.

The European headquarters of the Western-style chain locks has also raised the priority of the Taoyuan truffles.

Therefore, the sales director of the Western Restaurant chain was naturally very happy after hearing that Bastian had obtained a certain amount of Taoyuan truffle share through personal relationships, and he did not hesitate to agree to his proposal to raise the price.

Bastian also took a long sigh of relief and said: "I understand! I will do it right away!"

Put away the phone into the living room, Bastian's face has been filled with a warm smile, he said: "Mr. Xia, our head office has prepared funds, I need to fax a contract back, our finances The staff will put the money into your account in the first time!"

Xia Ruofei smiled and nodded and said: "There is a fax machine in the study, you can use it at will!"

“Thank you very much!” Bastian personally took the signed contract and walked quickly to the study, faxing the purchase agreement back to the European corporate headquarters.

The company also quickly returned: the financial staff will be processed according to the highest priority, and the funds will be able to arrive soon.

Bastian returned to the living room and waited while chatting with Xia Ruofei.

After almost ten minutes, Xia Ruofei’s mobile phone received a text message reminder of account changes. He went to the computer and checked it out. The 418,600 euros from the corner western restaurant chain has already arrived.

Xia Ruofei said with a smile: "Mr. Bastian, the funds have arrived! Our transaction has been reached!"

“Thank you for your generosity!” Bastian quickly shook hands with Xia Rufei. “I booked a ticket for noon to return to Europe, Mr. Xia, then we will leave! We will send this batch of truffles back to the headquarters. Go back to work in Sanshan, I hope you will give me a chance to do something, I want to thank you!"

Xia Ruofei smiled and nodded: "Be sure to harass when you arrive!"

Cheng Hao also said: "Summer, thank you very much this time!"

"You're welcome!" Xia Ruofei smiled. "Right, you have to go to Europe with Mr. Bastian?"

"No, Mr. Bastian gave me two days of vacation, but I am going to go back to Sanshan today, and take a break to stay with my family." Cheng Hao said.

Xia Ruofei nodded and said: "I will return to Sanshan in the afternoon. I have an empty seat on my plane. If you haven't booked a flight yet, I don't mind taking you on a ride."

Cheng Hao said with surprise: "Really? Xia, your plane... Have you bought a private jet?"

"Almost... but I only have the right to use it." Xia Ruofei did not explain too much, asked with a smile, "How? Do you want to experience a business jet?"

"Of course!" Cheng Hao said without hesitation, "Summer, then I am not polite to you?"

In fact, Cheng Hao is scheduled to return the ticket, but can return with the idol, and still take the legendary luxury business jet, Cheng Hao will certainly not hesitate.

As for the booked ticket, it is refunded. Although the discount ticket will be refunded, it will incur a fee. However, compared with the idol’s business jet, this loss is negligible.

"What kind of politeness is there, anyway, the plane is very spacious, plus you are one." Xia Ruofei said, "That's what we said, you pack your luggage at noon, I will call you when I check out!"

"Well! Ah! Ah!" Cheng Hao nodded again and again.

Xia Ruofei personally sent the two to the door of the presidential suite and watched them get on the elevator before returning to the house.

He looked for a movie on the study computer for a while, and around eleven o'clock, the old Black came to the presidential suite.

Xia Ruofei has a total of 78 kilograms of truffles for the old Black, including 30 kilograms of black truffles and 48 kilograms of white truffles.

When Old Black saw a box full of good truffles, he was naturally ecstatic and thanked Xia Ruofei.

These truffles, both in quantity and quality, have far exceeded the expectations of Old Black.

Regarding the issue of the purchase price, the old Black has a price of 10,000 euros per kilogram of black truffle. As for the white truffle, he has a higher price, reaching 25,000 euros per kilogram.

This price is a lot higher than the high price that Bastian has just reported.

Xia Ruofei is naturally not dissatisfied with this price.

Of course, he did not take the initiative to tell Old Blake that he had just sold another truffle at a price of eight thousand euros and 20,000 euros.

Xia Ruofei will not be able to go with the money, plus the top ingredients such as Taoyuan truffles, there is no clear market price, what kind of price, depends entirely on the buyer's judgment on the value of truffles and his economic strength.

Even if you trade at this price, it is much lower than the price created at the auction, and the old Black will certainly not do a loss-making business. He dares to use this price to shoot, and he is sure to change his hand at a higher price.

Old Black directly took out the contract that he had already prepared. He was the patriarch of the Black family. Such an acquisition would be a direct draw, and he would not need to look forward to it like Bastian.

After signing the contract, Old Black immediately notified the family's financial staff by phone.

In a while, Xia Ruofei’s account has added another 500,000 euros. The transaction amounted to 1.5 million euros. However, Xia Ruofei has already received a deposit of 1 million euros in advance, and the 500,000 euros transferred today is equivalent to the last one.

"Mr. Xia, thank you very much!" Old Black said excitedly. "I hope we can maintain a good relationship in the future! Our Black family will always be your loyal friend!"

Xia Ruofei nodded and said: "Happy cooperation!"

Then, Xia Ruofei called the bell to call the housekeeper Tony.

Xia Ruofei said: "Tony, prepare a luggage cart and help Mr. Black push the box back to the room!"

These truffles, plus the box, are at least eighty kilograms in weight. Old Black is not too old. It is a bit hard to rely on him to move the box back.

"Okay!" Tony said slightly, "Please wait..."

Tony turned and went out to find a luggage cart. Old Black once again expressed his gratitude to Xia Ruofei. Then he said, "Mr. Xia, I want to ask you to have a meal at noon, express my gratitude, I will take it in the afternoon. The truffles are gone, so please be sure to show your face!"

When Xia Ruofei was slightly indulged, he nodded and said, "Okay! Thank you for your kind invitation!"

Old Black is overjoyed and said: "At 12:30, the Jiahua Western Restaurant on the third floor of the hotel will not be seen!"

"I don't see it!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile.

He knows that Old Black must first freeze the truffles, otherwise he will invite himself to go to the Western restaurant instead of about 12:30. After all, it is almost ready for dinner.

Tony quickly found a cart to help Old Black return the heavy box to the room.

Xia Ruofei continued to watch the movie. After the appointed time, he stepped out of the presidential suite and took a special elevator to the Jiahua Western Restaurant on the third floor.

The waiter of the restaurant brought Xia Ruofei to a seat on the side of the floor-to-ceiling glass. Old Black had already arrived at the restaurant in advance. After seeing Xia Ruofei, he immediately rose up and greeted him.

The two chilled a few words and then sat down.

This seat is very good, the view is very wide, although it is only on the third floor of the hotel, this side is not covered by other tall buildings, overlooking Victoria Bay.

They each ordered a few dishes, and they did not choose French foie gras. Old Black is already getting used to it, and Xia Ruofei has a shadow in his heart.

The two chatted while eating, and from time to time picked up the wine glasses and drank two red wines. The atmosphere was very harmonious.

During the chat, Xia Ruofei suddenly felt a move and asked: "Mr. Black, I have always had some problems. I remember that we invited the Grasso family, but I did not see it at this auction. Do you know the reasons for this in the Grasso family?"

Old Black said with a smile: "Mr. Xia wants to ask Monica?"

For the reason why his grandson George Black and Xia Ruofei had conflicts, Old Black had already investigated it. He knew that at the earliest time, the two men had a squabble in the city because of Monica, and George Blake, who must report, always hated. In the heart, this is what happened later.

Therefore, Old Black also guessed that the relationship between Xia Ruofei and Monica should be unusual.

"I am a good friend with Monica." Xia Ruofei said faintly.

Old Black nodded and said: "In summer, your friend may have a little trouble recently... To be precise, the Grasso family has had some trouble."

"Oh? What the **** is going on? Can Mr. Black tell me?" Xia Ruofei asked with a slight frown.

"Of course no problem!" said Old Black. "As far as I know, the Grasso family is involved in the dispute between the Italian mafia family, and unfortunately, the mafia family they support failed in the struggle. So, so..."

Speaking of this, the old Black shrugged a little and said with a trace of regret: "They are not so good now! The mafia family they support has fallen apart and can't provide them with the protection they deserve." Now controlling the Mafia family in that area will not be polite to support their competitors, the Grasso family. Now the business of the Grasso family has plummeted, and many of the original partners have chosen to leave..."

Xia Ruofei was frowning. He hadn't contacted Monica for some time. He didn't expect Monica's family in Grasso to be so bad.

He knows that in many parts of Italy, the power of the Mafia family can be said to be a slap in the face, and even the government has no way to take the mafia godfather.

In fact, the Mafia forces are inextricably linked with the Italian government. The Mafia family is also a minority in politics. They are not only underground rulers in their respective regions, but even in the official arena. Great influence.

Listening to the description of the old Black, the Grasso family should be a victim of the mafia competition.

It seems that Monica's recent days may not be too good!

Xia Ruofei asked with some worries: "Mr. Black, the Grasso family is operating the truffle business. Why do they support the Mafia family and even get involved in the competition between these mafia?"

Old Black shrugged and said: "The patriarch of the Grasso family was the time when he was strong and strong. He was eager to lead the Grasso family to be more brilliant under his leadership, so he would choose to invest in the Moore family. The support of these ancient families is that it is very difficult to make a big business. It is just that his luck is not very good, or his vision is not very good. The Moore family is strong and hard, and in a few months it has been defeated by competitors..."

Old Blackton paused and took a sip of red wine and continued: "The Grasso family has a lot of financial support for the Moore family, otherwise the Moore family will not even be able to survive for a month. It is because they The support of the Moore family only lasted for a few months, and because of this, the German family took control of the situation before they tried to suppress the Grasso family."

"I understand..." Xia Ruofei said with a sigh of relief, "Thank you for telling me, Mr. Black!"

Old Black said with a smile: "You're welcome, this is not a secret in Italy. It is very easy for you to hear these messages."

Xia Ruofei nodded and suddenly had no feeling of enjoying a meal. He thought about calling Monica as soon as possible and asking what was going on there and whether he could help.

Old Black also saw that Xia Ruofei’s mood was somewhat low, so after a while, he offered to end the meal.

When they walked to the door of the western restaurant and said goodbye to each other, Old Black suddenly sounded something and said: "Right, Mr. Xia, I seem to hear that Monica has recently caused some new troubles... ”
