MTL - Peach Pit Landlord-Chapter 179 Truffle auction
? This night, Li Yuan, who has been very busy recently, went to bed early, but it was not long before he was asleep and was woken up by the telephone bell. This makes Li Yuan very uncomfortable, and the phone is not full of authenticity: "Who, in the middle of the night, let people not sleep?"
"Ah, I forgot the jet lag problem. You are now at night." There was a strange tone in Pierre's voice: "But how can you sleep, today is the day of the auction." !"
Li Yuan’s eyes said: “I’m so busy in the past few days, can’t I have a rest early? The auction will go with him, and I will tell you the results tomorrow.”
"No, no, this is absolutely impossible!" France's temper tantrums also came up, insisting on Li Yuandao: "This is the first time that Xiantao truffles are taken, you should take good care of it, I will inform you of the auction in real time. !"
"Forget it, international long distance is very expensive!" Li Yuan intends to be lazy, so he began to make excuses.
"No, no, there are so many communication tools, you don't have to make international calls!" Pierre smiled and said: "How much is your penguin number, tell me, I will add you!"
Li Yuan reluctantly said: "You are also a foreigner to play this, this is what you want to do!"
However, complaining complained that Li Yuan still told his French number. Anyway, he has been woken up, so he also simply looks at how much the truffles can sell.
Pierre quickly added Li Yuan as a friend and then began to "lively broadcast" the auction to him through Penguin.
The auctioneer is currently auctioning a few bottles of red wine, and Pierre says it's the turn of truffles. It can be said that the red wine Li Yuan is ignorant, only to see someone raise the price, and finally the auctioneer lost the hammer. With the applause of the sparse cheering in the auction hall, the wine auction is over.
"It's the turn of the truffle!" Pierre excitedly said to Li Yuan: "You don't know French, I will translate it for you!"
The French voice just fell. The auctioneer began to speak. Thanks to the translation of Pierre, Li Yuan can still understand what the other party is talking about.
"The next auction is for the Xiantao brand gourmet truffles from China!" The auctioneer read the next auction item according to the auction list. Then he himself stunned.
In the auction hall, there was a soft sneer. It seems that many people think this lot is very funny.
"In the vast majority of people's perception, the best truffles are produced in Europe!" Pierre whispered to Li Yuan: "So the auctioneer said that these truffles are produced in China, and everyone will have such a reaction."
Li Yuan did not express his opinion, just a cold smile. He already knows the quality of these truffles. After the auctioneers take the objects, the people who are laughing will be beaten.
The facts did not disappoint Li Yuan. When the auction showed everyone his truffles, the scene immediately stunned. At the same time, Li Yuan noted. The few guys who laughed before, now all are shocked by the face, can't seem to believe what happened.
The situation at the auction site made Li Yuan very satisfied, and could not help but whisper to himself: "Hey, let you laugh again! A bunch of guys who have never seen the world, are you dumbfounded now?"
Those who will participate in this kind of auction are people who know a lot about the ingredients. They all see that these truffles are really not the best. It is no wonder that the auctioneer will say that this is the best truffle. And the quality of black and white truffles is so high, which is even more rare.
What is even more surprising is that. The auctioneer just said very clearly that these truffles are produced in China. Although truffles are also produced in southern China, they have never seen such a best. So many people began to whisper. Ask who is sending these truffles to the auction.
However, the auctioneer will not disclose customer information, and these people naturally can't find anything. At the same time, the auctioneer has begun to auction black truffles. After he reported the reserve price of 6,000 euros per kilogram, many people immediately began to bid.
After a fierce bid, the black truffle was finally photographed by two customers at a price of 7,800 euros per kilogram. Although the price is already very high, watching the two people's radiant expressions is like taking a big price.
And then the white truffle auction, it is even more heated. White truffles are more rare than black truffles. Prices are naturally more expensive. Even a very good quality white truffle, you have to sell 6,000 euros a kilogram. The reserve price of Li Yuan's white truffles at the auction is 7,500 euros per kilogram. Even then, some people are eager to bid.
Looking at the number on the display behind the auctioneer, the number has been changed to 10,000. Li Yuan is naturally full of joy. The white truffles that were sent to the auction were three kilograms. Even if they sold at this price, they could sell for 30,000 euros, which is equal to more than 200,000 yuan.
After the price of 10,000 euros per kilogram, the number of bidders is significantly less. In the end, these white truffles were auctioned by a bidder at a price of 10,600 euros per kilogram, which is enough to satisfy Li Yuan.
"Haha, that's great!" Li Yuan calculated his account in his heart and smiled at Pierre. "This auction has made us earn nearly 70,000 euros, plus sales in China have exceeded I was very satisfied with your estimated 80,000 euros!"
Pierre is not very concerned about how much money to earn, faintly to Li Yuandao: "Because the Xiantao brand truffle is the first auction in Europe, the brand awareness is not high, so the price will be low. After the popularity, auction The price can be even higher."
Li Yuan certainly loves to listen, and nodded and said: "Well, we will often send truffles to Europe for auction in the future, and strive to become the world's top truffle supplier!"
"Haha, I will wait and see!" Pierre smiled and promised ~www.novelbuddy.com~ Obviously did not take Li Yuan seriously. However, the French now do not think that in just a few years, Li Yuan's sentence has become a reality.
Pierre soon said to Li Yuandao: "But you should not be too optimistic. The auction price will be deducted from the handling fee. In addition, there is my commission. If you really get the hand, maybe it is not as good as the one you sold directly. ”
In fact, Li Yuan has also considered this issue, but he feels that he should take a long-term view. As the Frenchman said, after the brand of Xiantao became famous in Europe, the truffle could shoot a higher price. Moreover, Li Yuan's vision is not only on the truffle, but also intends to sell more ingredients to Europe and the United States, which requires a credible agent line there.
And Pierre is a chef, has a good network in Europe and America, and more importantly, he is also a good guy, it is a good guy. This is the real reason why Li Yuan is willing to cooperate with Pierre and let him be a truffle agent.
At this time, Li Yuan remembered another thing and quickly asked Pierre: "Yes, how effective is my way of saving truffles?" (To be continued.)
Ps: second, there is one more in the evening, so stay tuned.
