God Level Farm
Chapter 762 Old Black
Xia Ruofei was stunned for a moment, and he could hear that Ma Xiong seemed 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 it can be considered a relationship!" Ma Xiong said with a wry smile.
Xia Ruofei suddenly understood something, and said with a faint smile: "Mr. Ma, is your friend French?"
Since Ma Xiong called, he was naturally not going to hide it from Xia Ruofei. He heard the words and said, "Xia Sheng is really quick-witted! Old Blake just flew to Hong Kong Island this morning. He commissioned me to do it and wanted to meet you. talk."
According to Xia Ruofei's temperament, he will definitely not agree to this meeting. The Black Catering chain has a very large influence in the field of western food, but this has nothing to do with Xia Ruofei, and he does not need to do business with the Black Group at all.
Even Xia Ruofei is not at all afraid that the Black Group will block the kind of top-quality truffles that were brought out at the auction yesterday. How could it be blocked? Some are bought by a lot of people.
But since Ma Xiong will make this call, it means that he has a certain friendship with the Black Group, or that the Black Group has found someone who can influence Ma Xiong to send a message.
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, Mr. Ma, arrange it!"
"Thank you Xia Sheng!" Ma Xiong said happily.
After hanging up the phone, Xia Ruofei's mouth curled slightly, but 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 also personally followed the car to the airport, giving Feng Jing enough face.
At noon, the revolving restaurant on the top floor of Hengfeng Jiahua Hotel.
Xia Ruofei was 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. There was an old man with silver hair beside him, and his eyes looked vaguely familiar. It seems that the genetic genes of the Blake family are still quite strong.
The old man was wearing an elegant handmade suit, and his silver hair was meticulously groomed. Although his face was full of wrinkles, his eyes were piercing, and he didn't look very cloudy like the old man.
"Ma! My friend!" Old Blake stood up, hugged Ma Xiong warmly, and said, "Thank you very much for your help!"
Ma Xiong said lightly: "Old Black, let's talk! I won't bother you. But Xia Sheng is my most honorable guest, and I don't want him to feel unhappy."
"Understood!" Old Blake said with a big smile.
Ma Xiong nodded slightly to Xia Ruofei, then closed the door and left.
"Mr. Xia, please sit down!" Old Blake said with an elegant smile on his face.
Xia Ruofei glanced at little Blake, then pulled out the chair and sat down.
"Mr. Black, I heard that you flew over from France on a special trip, shouldn't it be just to see me?" Xia Ruofei asked with a half-smile.
Old Blake always had a smile on his face. He said, "Mr. Xia, please allow me to introduce myself first. My name is Jason Blake. I am the chairman of the French Blake restaurant chain group and the patriarch of the Blake family."
"I've heard the name for a long time!" Xia Ruofei said lightly.
"Mr. Xia is very polite," said the old Blake, "I heard that my incompetent grandson and Mr. Xia had a little trouble, I felt very uneasy, so I flew over from France early this morning, hoping to resolve the relationship between the two of you. misunderstanding."
Xia Ruofei always had a teasing smile and listened to the old Blake quietly without saying anything.
Old Blake's eyes flashed for a while, then his sharp eyes swept to Blake, and he said in a deep voice, "George! Don't you apologize to Mr. Xia right away?"
Old Blake is French,
However, he has always spoken in English, and even told his grandson to use the same English, obviously considering Xia Ruofei's feelings.
It is estimated that he does not know Chinese, otherwise he will definitely use Chinese to communicate.
Xia Ruofei glanced at little Blake lightly.
Little Blake's face was terrifyingly gloomy, and there were faint red prints on his cheeks. Obviously, before Xia Ruo flew in, old Blake slapped him.
After being glanced at by his grandfather, little Blake couldn't help but tremble slightly in his heart.
Old Black is the helm of the entire family, and has supreme authority within the group and the family. It can even be said that life and death can be taken away. Since childhood, Little Black has left an indelible impression in his heart. His grandfather was both respectful and awe-inspiring.
"Xia...Mr. Xia, I'm sorry..." Although Little Blake was full of unwillingness, he did not dare to go against old Blake's wishes at all. After secretly gritted his teeth, he apologized to Xia Ruofei.
Before Xia Ruofei spoke, old Blake said loudly: "George, louder! Didn't you eat? Also, you must be sincere when you apologize, and stand up!"
Little Blake shuddered with fright, and quickly stood up from his seat.
His gloomy eyes turned to Xia Ruofei. After one glance, he immediately lowered his head, bowed towards Xia Ruofei, and said loudly, "Mr. Xia, I'm sorry! I have offended you before, please forgive me!"
After saying this, Little Blake felt full of humiliation, and his hatred for Xia Ruofei 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 even if it wasn't for Ma Xiong's face, he wouldn't have come to see the grandparents at all.
Little Black just stood there, while old Black asked with a smile: "Mr. Xia, how is it? Is the sincerity of our Black family okay?"
The patriarch of the family flew in in person, and the little Black who caused trouble was completely resigned. In the eyes of old Black, this was already the greatest sincerity of the Black family.
Xia Ruofei smiled lightly and said: "Old Mr. Black, when the Shencheng truffle auction ended at the beginning of the year, I already said that unless George Black publicly apologized in the media, he would slander and slander the reputation of our Taoyuan Company. It won't 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 China, you have to forgive others and forgive them. I believe that the Chinese people are very generous."
"We also have a very famous soldier who once said, treat comrades as warm as spring, and treat enemies as ruthless as severe winter." Xia Ruofei said lightly.
Old Blake's expression froze, and he said, "Mr. Xia, the young man's words are nothing but hatred, right? And your Taoyuan Company did not suffer any loss because of this."
Xia Ruofei squinted his eyes and said: "There is no loss because our company handled the emergency properly, it does not mean that your precious grandson is right!"
"Of course, of course..." Old Blake said, "Mr. Xia, let me tell you the truth! It's impossible to make a public apology. Although George's success is not enough, his surname is 'Blake'. He is also one of the legal heirs of Black Group, and his public apology will seriously affect the reputation of Black Group, which is unacceptable to me."
Xia Ruofei smiled lightly and said, "Old Mr. Black, thank you for your hospitality."
In fact, Xia Ruofei came in and didn't take a bite!
After he finished speaking, he immediately stood up and walked out.
Old Blake, who had always been elegant and polite, couldn't hold his breath. He quickly stood up and said, "Mr. Xia, please stop!"
Xia Ruofei stopped, turned his head and said lightly: "Old Mr. Black, I don't want to speculate for a while. Since you have already made the bottom line, I don't think we need to talk anymore."
Old Black said, "No, no, no, Mr. Xia, don't worry, everything can be discussed, isn't it?"
Xia Ruofei moved slightly in his heart, walked back to his seat and sat down. He leaned back on the chair and asked calmly, "Old Mr. Black, why don't you talk about your demands first!"
The helm of the Black Group has traveled thousands of miles to Hong Kong Island to resolve disputes. He must have something to ask for, otherwise, how could he have such a spare time?
And with the arrogance of the Black family, how could it be so polite?
After the conflict at the beginning of the year, the attitude of the Black family has been evident. Now that there is a sudden 180-degree turn, 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 top-quality truffles, and hope to have the opportunity to cooperate."
Xia Ruofei raised his eyebrows slightly, not too surprised by this, he asked lightly: "What else?"
"The cooperation I hope is in-depth, and it is best to sign a supply agreement." Old Blake looked into Xia Ruofei's eyes and said, "Of course, we will never let your company suffer in terms of price."
Old Black has no choice this time. As a high-end restaurant chain all over Europe, Black Group has a very large demand for truffles.
But this year's truffle harvest was surprisingly poor.
If it is only a lower harvest that leads to higher prices, the Black Group does not matter. They have deep pockets, and the increased costs caused by market fluctuations will eventually be passed on to consumers, and they will have nothing to lose.
But what made old Blake a little crazy was that this year's truffle harvest was not only a lot lower, but the quality of the truffles produced was generally low.
Of course, if it was in the past, this is not a big problem. After all, all western restaurants are the same, not theirs.
But this year is different.
The batch of truffles provided by Taoyuan Company not only has an astonishing weight, but also the quality is ridiculous.
Yesterday's auction has already caused quite a stir in the European restaurant scene.
And several of the Black Group's competitors made gains at yesterday's auction.
This makes Black Group a bit passive.
As a heavyweight enterprise in the field of western food, the western restaurant under the Black Group does not have enough truffles to provide. In this long truffle harvesting season, it can only provide some truffles of unsatisfactory quality, and the individual weight is completely unmatched. Compare Taoyuan's truffles.
This would be a heavy blow to the Black Group's reputation.
Old Blake 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 express any objection 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 failed at the auction was because his grandson George Black had offended Xia Ruofei to death, the old Black was so angry that he threw the cup.
In particular, Xia Ruofei also publicly announced at the auction that he would never cooperate with the Black Group in any form. Old Black wanted to beat George Black hard to relieve his anger.
After careful consideration, the old Blake decided to fly to Hong Kong Island in person, the only purpose is to resolve the grievances and get the opportunity to buy the best truffles.
As an old fox, old Blake knew that Xia Ruofei must have top-quality truffles, and it is impossible to release all the goods at one auction. In his opinion, this is a great opportunity for the Blake Group.
That's why he is so polite to people.
Xia Ruofei smiled lightly and said: "Old Mr. Black, your request is not low! After all, I announced in public yesterday that Black Group would be blacklisted, and even we will refuse Black Group to participate in future auctions, so let your grandson say I'm sorry, I just want me to take back what I said, and want to bypass the auction and buy the best truffles in our hands directly, is there 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 in the newspaper, or other requests that damage the reputation of the Black Group, I will do 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 Mr. Black, but I'm afraid it is difficult for you to fulfill my request..."
"Let's talk about it first!" Old Blake said with a smile. "You said it too, I came here very sincerely this time."
Xia Ruofei no longer sold off his son, and said directly: "It's very simple, take away his heir qualification! Compensate our Taoyuan Company for reputation damage and mental damage, a total of 2 million US dollars!"
As soon as Xia Ruofei's voice fell, Little Blake's eyes widened and he said, "Are you crazy! What a beautiful dream!"
Although his heir is ranked very low, at least he is the heir of the Black Group! And with this status, he can receive a lot of monthly money in the family. Xia Ruofei's light words wanted him to lose all this, which also made him shocked and angry.
Snapped!
As soon as Little Black finished saying this, Old Black slapped him without hesitation, and the crisp voice sounded in the box, and Xia Ruofei and Little Black couldn't help being stunned.
