The employee of the auction house is okay, Guo Song is a senior industry insider, almost all of his life has been dealing with all kinds of seafood, after joining Hengfeng Group, he has been exposed to many high-end seafood, so just a glimpse has already made him dumbfounded.

"Mr. Guo!"

Xia Ruofei shouted two sentences beside him, and Guo Song came back to his senses, at this time he had already thrown Ma Xiong's instructions out of the clouds, and he didn't care about any etiquette at all, so he rushed over in a few big strides, and took the dried abalone in his hand like a hungry tiger pounced.

The auction house employee who accompanied Guo Song was a little at a loss, Xia Ruofei patted him on the shoulder, motioned for him to sit down first, and then looked at Guo Song with a smile on the side.

In terms of the identification of dried seafood, Guo Song is naturally more professional than Tang He.

He looked at it over and over for a long time, and his expression became more and more excited.

Guo Song raised his head and asked in a trembling voice, "Mr. Xia, may I ask...... Can I open the sealed package and see?"

Xia Ruofei smiled and made a gesture of please - the abalone does not need to be sealed and packaged in the Lingtu space at all, this is just added by Xia Ruofei according to the normal method of preserving dried abalone, and if it is auctioned in a few days, such packaging will definitely have to be replaced.

Even if it is a simple sealed bag, it must be designed, only in this way can it match the grade of the precious abalone, and it must be printed with the Taoyuan company LOGO.

After Guo Song got Xia Ruofei's permission, he immediately opened the suitcase, took out a pair of delicate scissors from it, and carefully opened the sealed package.

Then he took out a pair of white gloves from his suitcase and put them on, and then carefully picked up the abalone.

Guo Song's suitcase is like a treasure chest, with all kinds of tools.

I saw Guo Song get closer for a while and smell the smell carefully, and then repeatedly observe the shape of the abalone, the quality of the flesh and the layer of hoarfrost on the surface.

He also took out a strong flashlight from his suitcase and observed the flesh quality and permeability of the abalone under the strong light.

Guo Song even had a small and delicate balance in his suitcase, and after repeatedly checking it for a long time, he took out this extremely precise balance and weighed the dried abalone.

When the final weight was 623 grams, Guo Song's hands trembled uncontrollably, and the excitement was beyond words.

"What a superb abalone!" Guo Song muttered to himself, "the body is perfect, bulging and full, fresh and shiny...... It was just perfect......"

Another Hengfeng Auction House employee named Luo Jiahao couldn't help but remind in a whisper: "Manager Guo...... Manager Guo ......"

Guo Song came back to his senses at this time, and hurriedly showed an apologetic smile to Xia Ruofei, and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Xia, I was so excited to see such a beautiful and perfect abalone, and I was a little out of shape for a while......"

Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "It's okay! Mr. Guo, Ma Dong asked you to come over to appraise this batch of abalone from our company, I don't know if you are satisfied after reading it? Is there a problem with our dried abalone going to the auction?"

"Satisfied! Of course satisfied!" Guo Song said without thinking, "That's right...... Mr. Xia, Mr. Ma said that there are 20 or 30 abalone that your company plans to auction this time?

At the beginning, Guo Song was a little disapproving, but the big boss personally ordered the general, and also told him to be respectful and polite to Xia Ruofei, so he maintained the due courtesy, but in fact, he still didn't believe that such a rare abalone could appear in batches.

After seeing this dried abalone, Guo Song's heart was also a little shaken, and at the same time, he also faintly had a trace of expectation.

Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "This batch of abalone is here, Mr. Guo can take a look for himself!"

Only then did Guo Song know that the two inconspicuous paper bags were also filled with dried abalone.

He hurriedly stepped forward to open the paper bag, and when he saw the heavy abalone in the paper bag, his breath couldn't help but become short.

Guo Song's performance was very similar to Tang He's performance just now, he first looked at it quickly, and when he confirmed that all the abalone were very large and heavy, at least more than a catty, Guo Song began to pick up a certain abalone repeatedly, and then put it down to get another one.

He watched it for five or six minutes, as if these abalone were beautiful women.

In fact, Guo Song has been engaged in this industry for half his life, and for such a precious dried seafood, that love may really be no less than a beauty.

Xia Ruofei was also very patient, just sitting on the side with a smile and waiting.

After a while, Guo Songcai reluctantly put the abalone into the paper bag, looked up and said: "Mr. Xia, this batch of abalone in your company can be auctioned, and thank you for choosing Hengfeng Auction House, I believe that this auction will definitely become a grand event for the high society on Hong Kong Island!"

Guo Song still felt a little sorry in his heart, he didn't know the relationship between Ma Xiong and Xia Ruofei very well, so in his opinion, in fact, the best plan should be to find a way to get Xia Ruofei to agree to hand over this batch of abalone to Hengfeng Seafood Trading Company for sale.

If it is auctioned, Xia Ruofei and Taoyuan Company will naturally gain fame and fortune, and Hengfeng Auction House, which hosted this event, can also gain a lot of eyeballs, while their seafood trading company has missed a good opportunity to make a name for itself.

You must know that among the thirty abalones, even the smallest one is more than enough to be the treasure of their seafood flagship store in Des Voeux Road West.

"Haha, then I'll borrow your auspicious words!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile.

At this time, Luo Jiahao, an employee of the auction house who came with Guo Song, finally had a chance to speak.

He got up and said to Xia Ruofei: "Mr. Xia, I hope to take some photos and videos here for early publicity and warm-up." ”

Xia Ruofei said with a smile: "Everything is here, you can use it as you like." However, I hope that the time is a little tighter, and that these abalone should be frozen. ”

Luo Jiahao hurriedly said: "Understand, Mr. Xia, then I'll start working right now!"

The living room of Xia Ruofei's villa has a lot of light and is relatively spacious, so Luo Jiahao directly filmed in the living room.

Luo Jiahao was very professional, filming the abalone as a whole, a close-up, and all the abalone stacked on top of each other from all angles, and finally a video footage.

Then, Luo Jiahao immediately put away his equipment and said, "Mr. Xia, the abalone can be put away, thank you for your support!"

Xia Ruofei smiled gently and said, "It should be me who thank you! You came all the way from Hong Kong Island for this auction of my company!"

Guo Song still looked at the abalone with the same eyes as a lover and reluctantly glanced at the abalone several times before he and Luo Jiahao said goodbye together.

Xia Ruofei very politely sent the two of them outside the villa, and after watching them get in the car and leave, they returned to the villa.

As soon as he entered the door, Tang He asked, "Ruofei, let's talk to you!"

Xia Ruofei looked at the dried abalone on the coffee table, smiled and asked, "Mr. Tang, are you also interested in abalone?"

Tang He smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "When people get old, they will inevitably be greedy...... I've lived in the U.S. all my life, but I'm still not very interested in Western food, and we still eat Chinese food, so ...... I also want to taste this superb abalone!"

At Tang He's level, no matter what he wants to eat, there are basically few things he can't eat, of course, there are some things he definitely can't eat for health, and in addition, there are excellent ingredients like a bun that can be met but not sought, which are difficult to buy even if you have money.

Tang He immediately continued: "If you fly, the main thing is that I have to fly back to the United States today, there are too many things on the company's side, otherwise I will directly participate in the Hong Kong Island auction." But don't worry, you can't lose money in terms of price, I can buy from you according to the final auction price, and then increase by 20%!"

Xia Ruofei smiled and waved his hand and said, "Mr. Tang, do you think that I am this kind of person who must compete with baht? We are old friends, since you want to taste the taste of our company's abalone, then just buy it at the normal price." ”

This time, Xia Ruofei didn't say that he would give it to Tang He, because this batch of abalone was originally going to be auctioned, which was completely different from the nature of tea, and if Tang He hadn't opened his mouth, he would definitely not have sold it directly on the eve of the auction.

Even if Xia Ruofei offered to give it away, Tang He would definitely not be able to agree.

"This ...... You're going to suffer too much like this......" Tang He said hesitantly.

Xia Ruofei said with a smile: "It's rare to be confused, and it's a blessing to suffer losses!"

After he finished speaking, he took out all the abalone in the paper bag, first picked out the five abalone with a slight difference in packaging color, and said with a smile: "These five are just about ten grams away from meeting the standard of one abalone." ”

Then Xia Ruofei pointed to the remaining abalone and said, "Mr. Tang, except for the three largest abalones that I want to use as the finale of the auction, you can pick the rest!"

Then Xia Ruofei joked again: "But you'd better be merciful, don't be too ruthless, when there are not a few abalone left in the auction, then I will be embarrassed!"

Tang He laughed, he didn't say anything polite to Xia Ruofei, he casually picked up two dried abalone weighing about 610 grams, and said with a smile: "Then I'll want these two!"

"No problem!" Xia Ruofei said and packed the rest of the abalone, including the abalone that had been unpacked and sealed, and temporarily went to the kitchen to get plastic wrap and wrapped it in several layers.

Then Xia Ruofei said with a smile: "You sit down for a while, I'll put these abalone away!"

"Okay!" Tang He said with a smile.

Then Tang He also handed over the two abalone to his assistant, and instructed them to take the abalone to the car refrigerator of the Bentley car and put it away.

Xia Ruofei carried the abalone upstairs, he naturally didn't really put the abalone in the refrigerator, he directly put the abalone back in the Lingtu space, and then waited in his room for a while, and then got up and went downstairs.

Tang He was sitting in the living room chatting with Huzi's mother.

After seeing Xia Ruofei coming down, Tang He greeted with a smile: "Ruofei, come on, let's talk about the price of those two abalones!"

Seeing this, Huzi's mother said hello to Tang He, got up and went back to the room with a smile - she just didn't want to snub the guests, so she stayed, and Tang He wanted to talk to Xia Ruofei about business, so she immediately avoided it.

Xia Ruofei said with a smile: "What is there to talk about? Just look at it......

Tang He smiled and said, "I guessed you would say that!

Xia Ruofei was taken aback, and said in a lost voice: "This is too much! Tang ......"

Tang He waved his hand to interrupt Xia Ruofei's words and said: "Ruofei, this price is not outrageous! I have checked that there was an auction on Hong Kong Island eight years ago that there was an auction of abalone, and the quality and weight of the abalone were not as good as the two just now, and they were auctioned for a sky-high price of 2 million Hong Kong dollars!"

Tang He took a sip of tea and continued: "At that time, the Hong Kong dollar had not yet depreciated, and it was almost a one-to-one exchange rate with the Huaxia currency, you must know that it was the price eight years ago! These two abalone were originally more precious than the ones auctioned that year, and considering factors such as inflation, I think the price of three million Huaxia coins is reasonable." ”

Xia Ruofei said: "But it's ......"

"If I fly, the auction on Hong Kong Island will confirm my judgment after a while. Tang He said with a smile, "Why don't we make a bet?"

"Bet?"

"Betting on the auction price that has been going on for a while. Tang He said with a smile, "If the transaction price of dried abalone of similar weight reaches or exceeds three million Huaxia coins, even if I win, otherwise even if you win, how about it?"

Xia Ruofei couldn't help laughing and asked, "Then what does Mr. Tang want to bet on?"

Tang He pondered for a moment and then said, "If you win, I am willing to take back the premium part of today's deal, but if I win, I hope that Shengbang Group will have the opportunity to sell your company's dried abalone products in the United States." ”

Tang He's sense of smell in business is very keen, and he knows very well that Xia Ruofei's auction of abalone this time basically means that Taoyuan Company's product library will be rich again, otherwise, if he does not sell abalone in the future, it will be useless to make a name for himself on Hong Kong Island with so much effort!

Now Tang He has seen what it means to be "a high-quality product from Taoyuan", so he is also very interested in Taoyuan's dried abalone products.

One abalone and two abalones are not the most precious and excellent goods that can be sold all year round, but the three abalone or even smaller ones can be produced in large quantities, as long as they can meet the quality of today's batch of abalone, even if it is a little smaller, it can still make a big difference in the high-end consumer market.

Xia Ruofei didn't hesitate much, and said with a smile: "Okay! I'll bet with you once!"
