There is a kind of restaurant that has a great influence all over the world. The country where this restaurant is located is world-famous for its romance. It has produced passionate artists, passionate singers, and the most complete wishing fountain in the world.
French restaurants, in the United States, more young people are considering whether to eat American-style Chinese food or go to a French restaurant for a romantic meal.
William's BMW Z4 slowly followed the slightly congested traffic ahead and drove into a French restaurant on the west coast of Los Angeles with its door facing the sea. After getting out of the car, he threw the key to the waiter standing at the door of the restaurant. After looking at the sign and confirming that it was correct, he walked towards the restaurant door opened by the doorman with a compliment on his face.
"Hello, sir, who are you?" As soon as he entered the door, a waiter walked up to William and asked sweetly.
"I've made a reservation, room 183." William said.
Then, he followed the waiter toward the spiral staircase over there and went up to the second floor.
The most obvious thing between the second floor and the first floor is that the second floor is quieter, or deserted. There are no singers on the first floor singing French folk songs on the stage, and there is no soft music. If the first floor gives people a very romantic feeling If you have the feeling, then the second floor will give people the feeling of another world, just like a medieval gentleman. Although you want to joke with him, his aura makes it impossible for you to joke with him.
In the room, William was sitting on the sofa. The waiter handed William the menu and said, "Sir, would you like to order now? Or?"
William took out the cell phone in his arms and took a look at it and said, "Let's serve the food. Your boss should know what I want."
Wait until the waiter walks out. William looked around, waiting for the guests to arrive
After a few minutes, the waiter¡¯s voice and the sound of high heels hitting the ground came from the door. William, who was sitting on the sofa with his eyes squinted, heard the sound and opened his eyes
The door was pushed open. The waiter said to the tall woman who was also wearing sunglasses standing at the door: "Madam, this is it." After saying that, he stepped aside so that the woman could come in calmly
Wearing the clothes of a Wall Street professional woman, she did not resist the mature charm of her body that confused all living beings. The slightly compact clothes showed off the beauty of her whole body. The altitude can Greatness compared to Mount Everest
"Sit!" William stood up, pulled out the edge of the table, and said to the woman like a gentleman. Standing next to the table, William could smell the scent of a mature woman gradually filling the room, which was very similar to a ripe and juicy peach. He couldn't help but wonder whether to pick this peach. Take a bite and your mouth will be filled with delicious sweetness.
After the two of them were done, the woman took off her sunglasses, revealing her shrewd and penetrating eyes gained from years of experience on Wall Street, and said: "Boss, you have been back for five days. I didn't know how to take a look at your company." "There seemed to be a sense of coquettishness in his words.
"Annabella, if you want to do this, then I can't say anything. My schedule these days seems to have appeared in newspapers and the media. You said that. It makes me sad." William. Make a look of great pain.
Annabelle was amused by William's expression and actions.
"Okay, my boss. Now it's time for me to report the company's finances to you." Anrabella said: "The meal hasn't been served yet, so let's get down to business first. I think I should be able to eat." Be more at ease."
William shrugged his shoulders and said, "Of course, why not?"
"Well the company's total assets are now about 200 million, and it owns 15% of Google's shares. According to your wishes, we have not interfered with Google's internal affairs as the third largest shareholder. We are just sending We hired a legal advisor, which can be regarded as a form of being a third shareholder. Google does not want us to interfere with their research. Now the value of our 15% share has increased by nearly 150%. , last year, in order to expand its diamond business in South Africa, the company had to sell 3% of its shares to Google itself"
"Currently, I, Weiwei Venture Capital, own 100% of the diamond factory in South Africa and 12% of the shares of Google. I am the third largest shareholder of Google. Last year, one of yours was named Blood Scorpion. A friend of mine gave us a Pentagon business contract. According to this contract, we owned 30% of Bechtel's shares with permission, ranking as the second shareholder. The company has 350 employees. people, including 200 people negotiating business contracts around the world, and 150 people at our headquarters in Los Angeles, while we have offices in Washington, D.C.?The headquarters building has been approved by the Ministry of Defense"
"etc¡¡"
Hearing this, William couldn't help but interrupt Anrabella's report, frowned and asked: "Our construction of the headquarters building seems to have nothing to do with the Ministry of National Defense, right? And can't the headquarters building be built in Los Angeles?"
"Of course, sir, we can build in Los Angeles, but if we build in Los Angeles, the Patriot Act will take effect. In this case, our company's finances will be handed over to the staff of Washington every quarter. At the same time, Washington The government will dispatch CIA agents in the name of protecting security Therefore, in order to prevent the Patriot Act from taking effect, we can avoid this loophole according to the Washington DC Protection Act in the act. At the same time, the company has reached an agreement with the Los Angeles government, Leave all the groundbreaking in Los Angeles this year to Bechtel"
"The company will be completed on May 8 this year. As for the company's venture capital goals on Wall Street, I don't think you want to know about it, so I won't report it here" Seeing William frowning a little, Annabella said The report was placed on the table and he said softly: "Sir, according to our agreement at the time, you cannot discuss the target I will invest in"
After William heard this, he smiled bitterly, raised his hands and said, "Am I shooting myself in the foot?"
"Sir, if you were to lift a stone, you wouldn't move it yourself"
"Haha" William couldn't help but smile when he heard Anrabella's serious joke. After Anabella put away the financial statements, he said: "Sir, as for the company branch in South Africa, I think it should be managed by our Erin, a top student at Stanford and your fan, is back to report to you. I think she should be back soon."
"HahaAnrabella, I didn't mean to share your power. I have 100% trust in both of you. I think I mainly hope that Irene can experience it in South Africa. You know Irene Her talent is very good, but if she goes to Wall Street after graduation, can you tell me what kind of results she will have?" William took a sip of red wine. Well, William looked at the blood-red red wine in the goblet. It was from 1992, not Lafite.
After hearing William's words, Annabelle said without hesitation: "Two possibilities. Either you encounter a suitable thing and enter the circle of Wall Street, or you sink like the 10 million people on Wall Street every year. Go on. If I think so, then I think next year there will be one person on Wall Street who has been abandoned by his dreams, and there will be one more loser on the street."
"Yeah!" William and Arabella clinked their glasses. After drinking all the red wine in the glass, he said: "So, I want to give Eileen a chance. Don't worry, I plan to let her go to China after she has gained experience. Handle China's affairs for me"
"China, that ancient country. Why?" Arabella asked, not understanding why William paid special attention to the country on the other side of the Atlantic.
William thought in his mind, that was my birth. The country that nourished me and gave birth to my inner being, why should I not go back?
??Said to Angela Bella: "Annara Bella, what do you think of the Internet in China?"
"It's like a blank sheet of paper."
"So do you want to be a pioneer in the external power of China's Internet?"
After hearing William's words, Annabelle's fiery red curly hair was draped over her shoulders, and she fiddled with her hair. The fragrance of her hair spread, and she held her chin up. Maybe it was because the heater in the room was turned on. Bella asked: "Boss, do you want to enter the Chinese Internet market?"
William nodded.
"Boss, Google conducted a report on China's Internet market in the second half of last year. Can I give you an answer after reading the report?" Anrabella said after thinking for a while.
"Haha, Allah, are you always so cautious? Why don't you give yourself a chance to do whatever you want?" William smiled and shook his head, then nodded and said: "Okay, I'll wait for your answer, but do not let me down!"
After the two of them finished talking about the company's affairs, all these famous French dishes were served.
Truffles, which are known as "black diamonds" in France, require well-trained dogs with a keen sense of smell to detect them every time they are collected. Moreover, truffles are very sensitive to temperature and humidity. If not handled properly, they can be detected in just three days. You can lose one-tenth of the weight.
"God, you are indeed a capitalist. I can't eat these truffles more than a few times a year." Annabella clicked her tongue and sighed as she looked at the last three dishes. It seemed that William sitting in front of her was like Those evil capitalists, and she is just like the people in the red society.
¡°That¡¯s right, if it weren¡¯t for an employee like you, we would beIf Wall Street had looted for me, I don¡¯t think I would be sitting here today. So, in the final analysis, all this is your credit, and I toast you. "After hearing this, William laughed loudly, winked at Annabella, raised the goblet in his hand and said to Annabella.
"What are you toasting to?" Annabelle also picked up the wine glass, and when she was about to touch it, she stopped and looked at William and asked with a smile.
¡°Here¡¯s to our wonderful tomorrow!¡±
After a while, William rolled his eyes, the wine glasses clinked together, and the two drank down the remaining sip of red wine in the glasses.
And the next dish
Among French cuisine, French pan-fried foie gras is known as one of the three most popular delicacies in the world.
The first people to know how to cook fried foie gras were probably the Romans more than 2,000 years ago. Later, in the Louis XVI period of France, foie gras was brought to the French court as tribute and became very popular. It has since become a delicacy widely adopted by the court. At that time, many well-known musicians, writers and celebrities rushed to praise it, and it has since laid the foundation for its popularity. Top gastronomic status.
Since foie gras can be regarded as the world's top delicacy, the raising process of goose has its own unique features. Within 14 weeks after hatching, the geese will be raised outdoors to provide a natural environment so that the geese's immunity can be greatly enhanced. After 14 weeks, the breeders began to force-feed the geese with specially prepared corn three times a day for four weeks. In order to prevent the geese from becoming stressed or even dying during this force-feeding process, all geese will be fed one-on-one, during which they will be constantly petted or allowed to listen to music to help them eat and soothe their emotions. This is why the price of foie gras is so expensive, because labor almost accounts for most of the cost.
Foie gras is foie gras in French, and fried is saute, so if you see ¡®foie gras saute¡¯ in the appetizers in French restaurants, it is French-style pan-fried foie gras. When tasting fried foie gras, it is best to pair it with a sauce cooked in sweet wine, or add dried figs to fry together. The aroma of foie gras can be combined with the flavor of figs, giving it a unique taste.
"Try it?" William invited: "This is the best goose I asked the owner of this restaurant to bring me. Listening to French romantic songs, three beautiful girls helped him digest while they were eating. There were nearly three people at that time, and the labor cost alone made him heartbroken. I forced him to take it out, otherwise you wouldn't be able to eat it."
¡°Really, let me really try it.¡± Annabelle looked at William dubiously, and then took a bite. William looked at Annabelle¡¯s expression
After a while, when he saw a charming expression on Annabelle's face, William smiled and said: "How is it? I didn't lie to you."
After swallowing the food in her mouth, Annabelle said: "It's really different from what I ate on Wall Street. Could it be that they were counterfeit products before?" Annabelle was a little angry in her heart. She took it every time as an investment task. At that time, in order to reward funds, she would go to a French restaurant to order a plate of foie gras. Originally, she thought that foie gras had the same taste, but after eating here, Annabelle was a little confused. Is it the same as before? Are they all fakes? "
William chuckled and said, "Of course not. You wouldn't really think that all the French restaurants in the United States, which cost at least over 10 million yuan, are authentic. But you might have learned it in France before. Or maybe he really is French.¡±
William continued: "Of course, this friend of mine is an authentic Frenchman. The foie gras you are eating was just sent by him from France headquarters not long ago. This is authentic French foie gras. I dare to pack it." Tickets, as for other places"
Just when William kept saying that the boss here had a good relationship with him, the door was suddenly opened.
After seeing William, a very tough and strong man stretched out his hands, laughed and walked towards William
