A few days passed in the blink of an eye. Ye Yuan visited the seafood market in Hong Kong Island in the past few days. It can be said to be a paradise for foodies. All kinds of precious seafood can be found. Ye Yuan accidentally discovered two small fish in the seafood market. blue lobster.
Blue lobster is a rare genetic mutation in American lobsters that produces an excess of a protein that reacts to form the blue compound astaxanthin, giving the shell a bright blue color.
On average, only one blue lobster appears in 2 million lobsters. It is a rare marine creature comparable to living fossils. Blue lobster is easily confused with blue magic shrimp. Blue magic shrimp is sky blue magic lobster. It is different from blue lobster. The difference between the two is The large claws of the blue devil shrimp are oval, while the claws of the blue lobster are long.
Blue lobsters have spots, but blue devil shrimps don’t. But the blue devil shrimp is big and beautiful. The probability of a blue lobster occurring among crustaceans is 1 in 2 million.
This also cost Ye Yuan 200,000. Blue lobsters cannot be cultivated. Even if they reproduce, the offspring will be ordinary lobsters. Ye Yuan bought them to raise them in space. When the lobsters grow up, the price of one will be Not so much.
The day before the auction, Wang Yueshan took Ye Yuan to see Ma Mingyuan, the manager of Henghai Group, who he thought was a very influential person in Hong Kong's rich circle.
The Henghai Group is headquartered on Hong Kong Island. After starting out as a seafood business in the early years, the group has diversified its development and its focus has gradually shifted to real estate and other fields.
Even so, the seafood trading company under the Henghai Group is still one of the leaders in high-end seafood in Hong Kong Island.
This Ma Mingyuan is not only the current manager of Henghai Group, but also the founder of Henghai Group and the second son of Ma Jiaming. Mainly responsible for the company's seafood area.
Ma Mingyuan has considerable experience in seafood and has been in the industry for nearly 20 years. He is one of the experts in Hong Kong Island when it comes to high-end seafood. The identification of many seafood products is completed by him.
Ye Yuan said with a smile: "Hello, Mr. Ma is very happy to meet you."
"Hello, Mr. Ye" Ma Mingyuan said with a unique Hong Kong accent, reaching out and shaking hands with Ye Yuan warmly.
"I have the temerity to ask Mr. Ye to meet, I am being rude." Although Ma Mingyuan is almost middle-aged, he is also the manager of a company as big as Henghai Group, and he is very polite when he speaks angrily.
Ye Yuan waved his hand, "What are you talking about? I'm very happy to recognize Manager Ma. We have a saying in the Mainland that multiple friends lead to multiple paths."
"Mr. Ye said it well. That's what I meant when I asked Yue Shan to recommend you." Ma Mingyuan responded politely as before.
Ye Yuan didn't know why Wang Yueshan suddenly introduced such an industry authority to him. Logically speaking, they were peers. Shouldn't Wang Yueshan be afraid of contacting them?
Wang Yueshan saw Ye Yuan's thoughts and explained with a smile. . . .
Wang Yueshan's family runs a hotel chain and has branches on Hong Kong Island. At first, many of the seafood in his hotel were supplied by Ma Mingyuan. Later, Wang Yueshan started the seafood trade. Ma Mingyuan not only did not resist, but also sold it in many places. Helped him a lot.
It was Ma Mingyuan's help that Ye Yuan's abalone was able to be auctioned this time.
When Ma Mingyuan knew that Ye Yuan had the ability to provide this kind of abalone stably and stably for a long time, he started to think about making friends.
After raising this matter with Wang Yueshan many times, Wang Yueshan thought to himself that he couldn't capture such a large high-end market, so why not cooperate with Ma Mingyuan?
He knew that Ye Yuan's business had just started and would gradually become bigger. His own trading company might not be able to eat all the seafood.
Since it was better to find a partner, it was better to work with one of our own, so I introduced Ma Mingyuan to Ye Yuan.
Wang Yueshan didn't shy away from anything, he told the truth and told all his thoughts, which made Ye Yuan look at him with a high gaze.
Ma Mingyuan saw that Wang Yueshan's introduction was almost complete, so he said directly:
"Our company wants your exclusive agency rights for high-end seafood on Hong Kong Island. I wonder if Mr. Ye will give us this opportunity?"
Ye Yuan thought for a while and then said: "There is no problem with the agent. My business has just started. High-end seafood. Currently, I can only provide lobster and abalone. In the future, I will gradually introduce more high-end ingredients, but I have one request. I must use "Our Yuwan Seafood logo" Ye Yuan doesn't want the seafood brand he finally built to be used by others and become a tool for making money.
Ma Mingyuan was very happy to get Ye Yuan's promise. He could see that Ye Yuan was very ambitious, which was a good thing for him.
He has seen the abalones brought by Ye Yuan, and every one of them can cause a sensation in the seafood industry of Hong Kong Island. If he could catch such a potential stock early, how could he not be happy?
After the few people finished talking about business, they started chatting for a while while drinking coffee. Finally, Ma Mingyuan wanted to take Ye Yuan to relax, but Ye Yuan refused.
It's not that Ye Yuan is so arrogant. After all, I don't know what kind of person Ma Mingyuan is when I first meet him. In this regard, it's better not to get along with him yet.
On the second day of the auction, Ye Yuan put on the prepared dress and came to the auction site with Wang Yueshan.
The auction was held in the largest conference hall of the Pearl Hotel. There were many rich people present this time, and many foreign rich people traveled thousands of miles to come by plane. Ye Yuan thought to himself, "I really don't understand the world of foodies."
The two of them sat down in the corner. Wang Yueshan introduced the origins of one rich person after another in Ye Yuan's ear. He never expected that a small auction would invite so many of the world's richest people.
Wang Yueshan said jokingly: "What does this mean? If it were a truffle auction in Europe, you would see several of the world's top richest men."
Not far from Ye Yuan and the others, a beautiful young woman kept staring at them. She was Su Mei who came specially to participate in this auction.
As time went by, there were fewer and fewer seats in the venue, and there were no more empty seats.
As a burst of melodious music played, a female host wearing a smart professional suit came to the middle of the stage.
The female host had a confident smile and quickly attracted the attention of many men present.
Many media reporters also picked up their cameras and started taking pictures.
"We have arranged a small link just before the auction begins. I believe everyone will like it." After finishing speaking, the host gestured to the etiquette ladies on both sides of the stage.
Two rows of tall beauties wearing cheongsams, holding teapots in their hands, walked up to each guest. The auction house prepared a tea cup for each guest who came to the auction. The beauties poured each of them a small cup of tea in turn. .
This leaves many people confused as to what it means. Is this the show the host was talking about?
The female host saw that everyone already had tea in their teacups.
"The tea in front of you is brewed from the first batch of Dahongpao cuttings taken from the Dahongpao mother tree in Wuyi Mountain. Please taste it first." After speaking, he smiled at many people.
Everyone unanimously picked up the tea in front of them and took a sip. Ye Yuanfei knew a lot about tea, but he still knew the name of Wuyishan Big Red Packet.
