Xia Ruofei was stunned for a moment, he could hear that Ma Xiong seemed to be a little embarrassed.

After pondering for a moment, Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "Mr. Ma, I know this person?"

"You don't know each other, but you can be regarded as having a relationship!" Ma Xiong said with a wry smile.

Xia Ruofei suddenly understood something in his heart, and said with a faint smile: "Mr. Ma, this friend of yours is French, right?"

Since Ma Xiong called, he naturally didn't plan to hide it from Xia Ruofei, and immediately said when he heard this: "Xia Sheng is really quick thinking! Old Blake just flew to Hong Kong Island this morning, and he entrusted me to do it, and he wants to meet and talk to you." ”

According to Xia Ruofei's temperament, he will definitely not agree to this meeting, the Black restaurant chain has a great influence in the field of Western food, but this has nothing to do with Xia Ruofei, he doesn't need to do business with the Black Group at all.

Even Xia Ruofei is not afraid of the Black Group's ban at all - how can the best truffles like the one taken out at yesterday's auction be blocked? Some people buy them.

However, since Ma Xiong will make this call, it means that he has a certain friendship with the Black Group, or the Black Group has found someone who is enough to influence Ma Xiong to deliver the message, and the matter of Black was closed at the beginning of the year, isn't it also because of this reason?

Ma Xiong was good to Xia Ruofei, and he didn't want to make it difficult for Ma Xiong because of this matter, so he pondered for a while, then nodded and said, "It's okay to meet each other, Mr. Ma, you can arrange it!"

"Thank you, Xia Sheng!" Ma Xiong said happily.

After hanging up the phone, the corners of Xia Ruofei's mouth twitched slightly, and he didn't take this matter to heart.

In the morning, Feng Jing and the others successfully completed their tasks and returned to Sanshan.

Xia Ruofei asked Ma Zhiming for a car to take them to the airport, and Xia Ruofei personally followed the car to send them to the airport, giving Feng Jing enough face.

At noon, the revolving restaurant on the top floor of Hengfeng Realm Hotel.

Xia Ruofei was personally accompanied by Ma Xiong to one of the small boxes.

As soon as Xia Ruofei entered the door, he saw Blake sitting in his seat with a gloomy face, and there was an old man with silver hair beside him, who looked vaguely familiar between his eyebrows, it seemed that the genes of the Blake family were still quite strong.

The old man was dressed in a well-made suit, his silver hair was meticulously groomed, and although his face was full of wrinkles, his eyes were bright, and he didn't look very cloudy like the old man.

"My friend!" said Old Blake, standing up, hugging Ma Xiong warmly, "thank you very much for your help!"

Ma Xiong said lightly: "Old Blake, you can talk! I won't bother." But Xia Sheng is my most honored guest, and I don't want him to feel unhappy. ”

"Understood!" said Old Blake with a smile on his face.

Ma Xiong nodded slightly at Xia Ruofei again, then closed the door and left directly.

"Mr. Xia, please take a seat!" said Old Blake with an elegant smile on his face.

Xia Ruofei glanced at Little Blake, and then pulled out a chair and sat down.

"Mr. Black, I heard that you flew here from France, maybe it's just to see me?" Xia Ruofei asked with a smile.

Old Blake always had a smile on his face, and he said, "Mr. Xia, please allow me to introduce myself first. My name is Jason Black, and I am the chairman of the French Black restaurant chain and the patriarch of the Black family. ”

"I've heard of the name for a long time!" Xia Ruofei said lightly.

Mr. Xia was polite. "I am very disturbed to hear that my unsuccessful grandson has had a little unpleasant trouble with Mr. Xia, so I flew over from France early this morning, hoping to resolve the misunderstanding between you." ”

Xia Ruofei always had a hint of teasing smile, quietly listening to old Blake and not saying anything.

Old Blake's eyes flickered, and then his sharp gaze swept to Blake, and he said in a deep voice, "George, why don't you apologize to Mr. Xia right away?"

Old Blake is French, but he has always spoken in English, even instructing his grandson to use the same English, obviously considering Xia Ruofei's feelings.

It is estimated that he does not know Chinese, otherwise he would definitely use Chinese to communicate.

Xia Ruofei glanced at Little Black lightly.

Little Blake's face was gloomy and terrifying, and there were some faint red marks on his cheeks, apparently old Blake slapped him before Xia Ruofei flew in.

was glanced at by his grandfather, and little Blake couldn't help but tremble slightly in his heart.

Old Blake is at the helm of the entire family, with supreme authority within the group and the family, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is life and death, since he was a child, Little Black has left an indelible impression in his heart, and he is both respectful and fearful of his grandfather.

"Summer ...... Mr. Xia, I'm sorry......" Although Little Black was full of unwillingness, he didn't dare to disobey Old Blake's wishes, and apologized to Xia Ruofei after secretly gritting his teeth.

Before Xia Ruofei could speak, Old Black said loudly: "George, be louder! Haven't you eaten? Also, if you apologize, you must be sincere and stand up!"

Little Blake trembled with fright and quickly stood up from his seat.

His cold gaze fell on Xia Ruofei, and after taking a look, he immediately lowered his head, bowed to Xia Ruofei, and then said loudly: "Mr. Xia, I'm sorry! I have offended many before, please forgive me!"

After saying this, Little Black felt that his heart was full of humiliation, and his hatred for Xia Ruofei also reached its peak.

How could Xia Ruofei not be able to see if this little Blake's apology was sincere? But he didn't care at all, and if it wasn't even for Ma Xiong's face, he wouldn't have come to see this ancestor and grandson at all.

Little Blake just stood there, while Old Blake smiled and asked, "Mr. Xia, how is it? The sincerity of our Blake family is okay, right?"

The patriarch of the family flew in person, and the troublesome little Black was completely subdued, which was already the greatest sincerity of the Black family in the eyes of old Blake.

Xia Ruofei smiled faintly and said: "Old Mr. Black, at the end of the Shencheng truffle auction at the beginning of the year, I already said that unless George Black publicly apologizes in the media, his slander and slander of our Taoyuan Company's reputation will not end so easily!"

The smile on Old Blake's face faded a little, and he said, "Mr. Xia, I remember that you have an old saying in Huaxia, you have to be forgiving and forgiving. I believe that the Chinese people are very generous. ”

"We also have a very famous soldier who once said that we should treat our comrades as warm as spring and our enemies as cold and ruthless as winter. Xia Ruofei said lightly.

Old Blake looked stunned and said, "Mr. Xia, the young man's mouth is not hidden, it is not a deep hatred, right? ”

Xia Ruofei squinted his eyes and said: "There is no loss because our company has handled the emergency properly, and it does not mean that your baby grandson is right!"

"Of course, of ......course," said Old Blake, "Mr. Xia, let me tell you the truth! It is impossible to make a public apology, although George has not succeeded enough to fail, but he has the surname 'Black' in his name, and he is also one of the legal heirs of the Black Group, and his public apology will seriously affect the reputation of the Black Group, which I cannot accept. ”

Xia Ruofei smiled faintly when he heard this, and said, "Old Mr. Black, thank you for your hospitality. ”

In fact, Xia Ruofei came in and didn't eat a bite!

After he finished speaking, he just stood up and walked outside.

Old Blake, who had always maintained elegance and politeness, suddenly couldn't hold his breath, and quickly stood up and said, "Mr. Xia, please stay!"

Xia Ruofei stopped, turned around and said lightly: "Old Mr. Black, don't speculate for more than half a sentence, since you have already made the bottom line clear, I don't think we need to talk about it." ”

Old Blake said: "No, no, no, don't worry, Mr. Xia, everything is discussed, isn't it?"

Xia Ruofei's heart moved slightly, walked back to his seat and sat down, he leaned back in his chair, and asked calmly: "Old Mr. Black, you might as well talk about your demands first!"

The helmsman of the Black Group traveled thousands of miles to Hong Kong Island to resolve the dispute, and he must have asked for something, otherwise how could there be such idle time?

And with the arrogance of the Black family, how could they be so courteous?

Since the conflict at the beginning of the year, the attitude of the Black family can be seen, and now it has suddenly turned 180 degrees, and it is no wonder that there is no problem!

Old Blake smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Xia, we are very interested in your company's best truffles and hope to have the opportunity to cooperate." ”

Xia Ruofei raised his eyebrows slightly, he was not too surprised by this, he asked lightly, "What else?"

"I want the cooperation to be deep, preferably with a supply agreement. Old Blake looked at Xia Ruofei's eyes and said, "Of course, we will definitely not let your company suffer in terms of price." ”

Old Black has no way this time, as the Black Group, as a high-end restaurant chain all over Europe, has a very large demand for truffles.

And this year's truffle harvest is surprisingly poor.

It doesn't matter if it's just a lower harvest that leads to higher prices, the Black Group doesn't care, they have a lot of money, and the higher costs caused by market volatility are ultimately passed on to consumers, and they have nothing to lose.

However, to the madness of Old Blake, this year's truffle harvest is not only much lower, but also the quality of truffles produced is generally low.

Of course, if it was before, this is not a big problem, after all, all Western restaurants are the same, and they are not the only ones.

But this year is different.

The truffles provided by Taoyuan Company are not only staggering in weight, but also of ridiculously good quality.

Yesterday's auction has already caused quite a stir in the European dining scene.

And several of Blake's competitors won at yesterday's auction.

This makes the Black Group a bit passive.

As a heavyweight enterprise in the field of Western food, the western restaurant of the Black Group did not provide truffles that could be used, and in this long truffle harvesting season, it could only provide some unsatisfactory truffles, and the weight of the single truffle could not be compared with the truffles of Taoyuan Company.

This would be a serious blow to the reputation of the Black Group.

Old Black also heard about the turmoil at the Shencheng auction at the beginning of the year, but he didn't take it seriously, and he didn't object after the people under him dealt with it.

Then after yesterday's auction, he attracted great attention.

When he learned that the reason why the Black Group did not receive any money at the auction was because his grandson George Black offended Xia Ruofei to death, the old Black was so angry that he dropped the cup.

In particular, Xia Ruofei also announced in public at the auction that he would never cooperate with the Black Group in any form, and the old Black couldn't wait to beat George Black hard to relieve his anger.

After much deliberation, Old Black decided to fly to Hong Kong Island himself, with the sole purpose of being able to settle the grievance and get the opportunity to buy the best truffles.

As an old fox, Old Black knew that Xia Ruofei must still have the best truffles, and it was impossible to release all the goods at one auction, in his opinion, this was a great opportunity for the Black Group.

That's why he is so polite to others.

Xia Ruofei smiled faintly and said: "Old Mr. Black, your request is not low! After all, I only announced in public yesterday that the Black Group would be blacklisted, and even in the future auction, we will refuse to participate in the Black Group, so you let your grandson apologize, just want me to take back what I said, and want to bypass the auction and directly buy the best truffles in our hands, will there be such a good thing in this world?"

Old Black smiled bitterly and said: "Mr. Xia, you can talk about your request, as long as it is not an apology, or other requirements that damage the reputation of the Black Group, I will definitely try my best to meet it! The financial compensation will definitely satisfy you!"

Xia Ruofei glanced at Little Black with interest, smiled and said, "I believe in the sincerity of Old Mr. Black, but I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to fulfill my request......"

"Let's talk about it first!" said old Blake with a smile, "you also said that I came here very sincerely. ”

Xia Ruofei no longer sold Guan Zi, and said directly: "It's very simple, take out his heir qualifications! Compensate our Taoyuan Company for a total of 2 million US dollars for reputation loss and mental damage!"

As soon as Xia Ruofei's words fell, little Blake's eyes widened suddenly, and he said, "You're crazy!

Although his heir is ranked very low, at least he is the heir of the Black Group! And with this identity, he can receive a lot of monthly money in the family, Xia Ruofei wanted him to lose all this with a fluttering sentence, which also made him shocked and angry.

Syllable!

As soon as Little Blake finished saying this, Old Black slapped him without hesitation, and a crisp voice sounded in the box, Xia Ruofei and Little Blake couldn't help but be stunned.
