Chapter 669: An Incomparably Successful Warm-Up

Feng Jing is a very eye-catching beauty, and everyone who can come here is very interested in the best abalone, so everyone applauded very face-savingly.

The regocrats sitting in the VIP area also clapped softly with smiles on their faces.

With a charming smile on her face, Feng Jing continued: "Before the auction officially starts, we have also arranged a small link, I believe everyone will like it!"

After finishing speaking, Feng Jing shook her head to the side and gestured.

Two tall beauties in cheongsams each walked up to the stage with a transparent lottery box in their hands, and showed everyone to confirm that the box was empty.

Feng Jing continued: "All the VIPs and media friends have received a lottery ticket before entering the venue, now please tear off the sub-ticket, and our hostess will come to collect it." ”

The reason why a transparent lottery box is used, and there is no direct receipt of lottery tickets at the time of sign-in, and there is no computer random lottery method, is to show that there is no black box operation in the whole process.

After Feng Jing finished speaking, the two hostesses walked off the stage with lotus steps, one came to the media area, and the other came to the guest area, and began to collect the sub-coupons one by one.

Everyone doesn't know what the purpose of Taoyuan Company is to hold a lottery before the auction, but no matter what, they will not lose anything, and it may bring a surprise, so they are very cooperative.

There were about thirty people in the VIP area specially isolated in the first few rows, and they didn't get the lottery tickets, so Miss Etiquette naturally didn't go to the VIP area to collect them.

Soon the two hostesses collected all the coupons and placed them on the table in the middle of the stage.

Feng Jing smiled and said: "In order to let the guests and media friends more intuitively understand the best abalone provided by our Taoyuan company, our next link is to draw 30 lucky people, together with 30 VIPs in the VIP area, personally taste our Taoyuan brand best dried abalone! Next, we have invited Mr. Ma Xiong, chairman of Hengfeng Group, to come to the stage and draw lucky guests!"

Everyone in the audience heard that the prize of the lottery was just a "tasting" of abalone, and they couldn't help but be a little disappointed.

Generally, there is a public display time before the auction begins, allowing interested bidders and media reporters to get up close and personal with the lots while it is safe to do so.

They didn't expect that this little-known Taoyuan company would actually regard such a normal link as a reward, could it be said that there was no one who was selected, and there was no chance to see those abalone up close?

Especially when they saw that Feng Jing was still taking the trouble to invite the respected Ma Xiong to draw lucky guests, they couldn't help but pout secretly.

Some wealthy people on Hong Kong Island and some media have some contempt for the mainland in their hearts, and many people have a wait-and-see attitude towards this small mainland company that has recently earned enough eyeballs.

The fact that so many people and so many media can come to this auction is more because of Ma Xiong's face.

Feng Jing had obviously communicated this matter to Ma Xiong in advance, so Ma Xiong immediately stood up with a smile when he heard this, bowed slightly towards the VIP area, and then stepped onto the center stage.

"Chairman Ma, please draw fifteen lottery tickets in each of the two lottery boxes!" Feng Jing said with a smile.

"Good!" Ma Xiong said with a hearty smile.

Then he walked directly to one of the hostesses, and the lottery box in the hand of this hostess was filled with the guests' lottery tickets.

Ma Xiong reached into the lottery box, stirred it for a moment, and drew the first lottery ticket.

He glanced at it and handed it to Feng Jing.

After Feng Jing finished reading it, she showed it to the camera, and the close-up of the camera immediately took a picture of the numbers on this lottery ticket, and everyone could see it clearly through the big screen.

Feng Jing smiled and said, "Congratulations to the guest with the lottery ticket number 0213, you have become the first lucky person!"

The audience also applauded cooperatively, but the applause was not very enthusiastic, and it was obvious that many people did not care much about this opportunity to "taste" the best abalone.

However, Feng Jing didn't care, and still presided over the entire warm-up event with a confident smile.

Soon Ma Xiong drew 30 lottery tickets, 15 for guests and 15 for media reporters.

The large screen on one side of the stage is connected to the computer, and all 30 numbers are typed on the screen, so everyone can see it at a glance.

"Thank you, Chairman Ma, please go back and rest for a while!" Feng Jing said with a smile.

Ma Xiong smiled and nodded, stepped off the stage and returned to his seat, and the two hostesses also walked off the stage from both sides.

Feng Jing beckoned to the rear and signaled.

A burst of melodious music rang out, and several men in white chef suits pushed a mobile stove onto the stage.

Two stainless steel steamers are steaming on top of the mobile cooktop, and a chef in a tall chef's hat is looking after them in the center.

This chef is the head chef of the Jiahua restaurant where Ma Xiong invited Xia Ruofei last night, Michelin-starred chef Liu Fuwang, and his specialty is to cook seafood.

When everyone was still confused, Xia Ruofei moved, and immediately swept his gaze to the vertical freezer placed in a prominent position on the stage.

Sure enough, as he guessed, there were two abalone missing in one of the freezers, and the abalone in this freezer were all abalone that were ten or twenty grams short of the standard of one abalone.

Although Xia Ruofei did not listen to any report on the auction arrangement, he had been working with Feng Jing for so long, and the degree of tacit understanding was still very high, so he guessed Feng Jing's intentions almost immediately.

Xia Ruofei couldn't help but secretly praise Feng Jing's idea, and cast an appreciative glance at Feng Jing.

Feng Jing also happened to look at Xia Ruofei at this time, and their eyes met in the air, and they smiled at the same time.

When the guests and reporters in the audience saw the mobile stove pushed up, they couldn't help but talk a lot.

At this time, Feng Jing smiled and said: "In order to let everyone have an intuitive understanding of the best abalone in today's auction, our Taoyuan company has specially prepared two excellent abalone, and invited Michelin-starred chef Mr. Liu Fuwang to cook it himself, and everyone who is seated in the VIP area and 30 lucky guests will taste the best abalone cooked by Chef Liu himself!"

With a bang, the audience seemed to have exploded, and everyone suddenly showed a look of amazement, and then there was a lot of discussion.

Even the wealthy people in the VIP area who are worth a lot of money have different faces and think it is a little incredible.

Each of these guests and media reporters was given an introduction booklet, and they knew very well that although some of the abalone that were put up for auction today did not meet the standard of one abalone, they were actually very small, and they were definitely much larger than two abalone in the general sense.

Even if it is taken out for everyone to taste, these superb abalones that are less than ten or twenty grams short of reaching the standard of one abalone, the value is quite large.

As the saying goes, it's hard to buy two abalones, not to mention that these are basically already one abalone?

"This Taoyuan company is really bloody!"

"I didn't expect this mainland company to be so bold!"

"Did any of you win the lottery just now? I'm one number short of that......"

Everyone was talking, and the thirty people who won the lottery were overjoyed - they looked indifferent just now, but now they were surprised and delighted.

Especially those media reporters, their full net worth may not be enough to buy such an abalone in today's auction, but because of winning the lottery, they can actually have the opportunity to taste the legendary abalone!

And such a gimmicky topic, the manuscript is easy to write after I go back!

Those fifteen lucky reporters could have written a very convincing article, after all, they had tasted this precious lot with their own mouths!

Some reporters couldn't hold back, got up and asked, "May I ask Miss Feng, are you sure that the abalone cooked in the steamer is the same as the abalone that will be auctioned in a while?"

Feng Jing said without hesitation: "Of course, very confirmed! Each of our lots today has a number and weight record, and we have also taken photos for archiving, and the outer packaging of the two abalone that has been put into the pot is there, and when it comes out of the pot for a while, you can send a representative to come up and check it with the photos in the brochure!"

Speaking of this, Feng Jing paused slightly and continued: "Of course, the two abalone we used are the two lightest in today's lot, but there are also more than 500 grams each, far exceeding the standard of two abalones!"

After Feng Jing finished speaking, the reporter immediately asked again: "Then are these abalone that almost meet the standard and abalone that exceed the standard of abalone the same quality?"

"All abalone are stocked in the same batch and produced in the same place!" Feng Jing said with a smile, "But brothers and sisters are also tall and short, and we can't guarantee that every abalone is exactly the same, right?"

"Miss Feng, may I ask ......" Another reporter stood up.

"I'm sorry, but we will have a Q&A session after the auction. Feng Jing smiled and said, "Now I can't answer everyone's questions for the time being! I believe that after you taste it yourself, you will definitely have an intuitive understanding of the abalone of our Taoyuan Company! This is much better than what I said." ”

Feng Jing's words attracted good-natured laughter from everyone in the audience.

Xia Ruofei couldn't help but smile, it seems that Feng Jing also knows that if she doesn't stop these reporters who ask questions spontaneously, then questions will be thrown one after another, and the order of the entire venue will be chaotic.

After all, Feng Jing has also seen the world, and her ability to control the situation makes Xia Ruofei very relieved.

Soon, chef Liu Fuwang nodded at Feng Jing and signaled that the abalone had been steamed.

So Feng Jing randomly pointed out a few guests and reporters according to the promise just now, and asked them to come to the stage to inspect the abalone.

In fact, when everyone saw the huge size of the abalone taken out by Liu Fuwang, they already believed it in their hearts - besides, it is impossible for Taoyuan Company to cheat in this situation, isn't it their own signboard?

However, the representatives still looked at the abalone very carefully, wrote down the number on the outer packaging, looked at the photos through the brochure, and finally confirmed that these were indeed the two abalone in today's lot.

Many people in the audience couldn't sit still, and stretched their necks excitedly one by one.

And the thirty lucky ones were even more excited, sitting on their seats with great anticipation, looking at the superb abalone on the stage.

Liu Fuwang began to process the steamed abalone, and he wanted to make large abalone with chicken sauce.

This is naturally familiar to Liu Fuwang, and the seasonings are prepared in advance, and there are several assistants next to him to help, so soon the two abalone are cooked.

The aroma of the best abalone began to waft through the venue, and everyone couldn't help but sniff and their hearts were full of anticipation.

Liu Fuwang began to pick up the knife to cut the abalone, the assistants kept passing the small plates, Liu Fuwang carried the knife like flying, and soon the huge abalone was cut into slices, put into the plate, and then poured a spoonful of soup.

Plates are already set on the table next to them, and when one is ready, the assistants will bring it to the plate and arrange it neatly.

Liu Fuwang's movements were very fast, and in a short time, he had already divided the abalone into sixty equal parts.

There are at least seven or eight pieces of abalone in each small plate, which shows how big these two abalone are.

After all the abalone was divided, the hostesses began to rush up, each holding a plate, and walked off the stage to the VIP area to start distributing.

There were also six hostesses standing at the entrance of the stage on either side, also holding plates in their hands.

Feng Jing picked up the microphone and said with a smile: "Next, please invite the guests and media friends who won the lottery just now to come up and receive abalone with lottery tickets!"

The winners, who had long been unable to hold back, immediately stood up from their seats, and walked up with lottery tickets in the envious eyes of everyone.

On one side is a collection area for media reporters, and on the other side is a collection area for guests.

On both sides, there are staff members who are responsible for checking the lottery tickets and handing out small plates filled with the best abalone.

In a few moments, all 60 servings of abalone were distributed.

There is no need for Feng Jing to say more, whether it is the rich people in the VIP area, the ordinary guests, or the fifteen reporters who won the lottery, they can't wait to pick up the chopsticks and start tasting this precious and superb abalone.

As soon as you chew it, the tough texture and fragrant taste suddenly bloom in your mouth, as if every taste bud cell is cheering.

"It's delicious!" exclaimed an ordinary guest, "this is the real abalone!"

"The taste is so special!"

"I can actually taste the best abalone, this life is really worth ......"

One by one, the guests and reporters who tasted the abalone couldn't help but praise each other, and one guest said loudly: "I originally wanted to come over to join in the fun, but I didn't expect this abalone to be beyond my imagination, I want to shoot one back today anyway, and give my wife and children a good taste!"

For a while, the voice of praise rang out in all corners of the venue.
