Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Li Mingbao's words were neither too loud nor too soft.  But all the people eating at the main table could hear it.  After Li Mingbao said these words, Li Mingyao had no reaction, but the others were immediately frightened, and almost made a row of inhaling sounds.  ¡°As for the plate of bear paws that Li Mingbao pointed to, many of them had eaten it before.  But I never thought that Li Mingbao would actually buy this dish for 300,000 Hong Kong dollars, and he looked very happy with it.  What does it mean not to use money as money?  In the eyes of these people, Li Mingbao is such a typical person.  Not to mention 300,000 Hong Kong dollars, even if it costs 10,000 Hong Kong dollars to buy such a dish, these people think it is ridiculously expensive and it is simply extortion.  Now Li Mingbao actually said 300,000 Hong Kong dollars to buy such a dish. If this is true, according to what Li Mingbao said, today's table of dishes would cost at least one million Hong Kong dollars. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Even if they are also high-level people in mainland China, they can¡¯t stand Li Mingbao¡¯s prices.  This is no place to eat, it¡¯s just eating money.  On the contrary, Li Mingyao, who heard Li Mingbao speak, said in surprise when his fifth brother said that the dish in front of him was bear paw: "Is this bear paw? I really didn't see it. You kid is in Hong Kong  You've never eaten anything like this, right? How can you tell it at a glance?" Li Mingbao naturally wouldn't say it was something in his memory, he could only refer to other places: "It's very simple, I see.  I have seen pictures of other bear paw dishes. Although I have never eaten them, it looks like it must be bear paw. How about we try it and see what this bear paw tastes like. I have eaten enough seafood, but.  This mountain treasure is really rare. " "If it's really a bear's paw, three hundred thousand Hong Kong dollars is not expensive." Hearing Li Mingbao's explanation, Li Mingyao nodded in agreement.  At this moment, Mr. Zhang, who was talking to Li Mingbao's father Li Guangxin, suddenly said: "This is a bear paw, the one with more meat, but such a dish does not cost 300,000 Hong Kong dollars."  Is it expensive? If this thing is so valuable, we can¡¯t afford it.¡± The conversation at the state banquet couldn¡¯t be too loud, so Mr. Zhang and Li Mingbao could hear what they said before.  Worth 300,000 Hong Kong dollars, Mr. Zhang could still think that Li Mingbao was talking nonsense, but he did not expect that Li Mingyao would agree later. Mr. Zhang then realized that Li Mingbao was really not joking, so he spoke. ?????????? This thing is really not a strange thing in Mr. Zhang¡¯s eyes. In the past, there were many blind bears and tigers in the forest.  Mr. Zhang didn't eat bear paws once or twice. That is to say, he has become old in recent years and cannot eat such high-cholesterol foods. In the past, he could eat whatever he wanted.  But Li Mingbao said that such a common thing in his eyes could be sold for 300,000 Hong Kong dollars. Now Mr. Zhang really couldn't calm down.  Everyone who sits in his position knows how difficult it is for the country to attract foreign investment.  But such ordinary things to him are so valuable in Li Mingbao's eyes. If he had known this, wouldn't it be better to sell these things? But then I thought about it, it's not like I haven't sold such things before, but after selling  The price is actually not high, and bears cannot be raised. The cost is too high, the quantity is small, and they cannot be scaled. If they are really sold, they will not fetch a high price.  So not many people have these ideas, but if a bear paw can be sold for 300,000 Hong Kong dollars, this kind of thing might really happen.  Li Mingbao, who was still preparing to take down his chopsticks, heard Mr. Zhang ask this question and had no choice but to put down his chopsticks and said: "Bear paws are indeed not rare in China, but in other places, this thing is quite rare, even for me  , I have never eaten this thing in Hong Kong. Anyway, no matter what others think, this bear paw is worth the price here. In fact, the price of many common things in mainland China is not low just for eating it.  For one piece, there are many that can be sold at a high price. However, these things are too rare to form a market scale, so even if the price is high, the total price sold is not much, so no one pays attention to it, but if it can form a market scale,  , even daily vegetables can make a lot of money. I remember that the vegetables exported from the mainland to Japan are selling very well.¡± After hearing Li Mingbao¡¯s explanation, Mr. Zhang immediately understood that Li Mingbao was willing.  Giving Bear Paw such a high price does not mean that other people will also pay such a high price. It is actually quite difficult to make up your mind on this.  ¡° Later, when I heard Li Mingbao say that vegetables from the mainland sell well in Japan, Mr. Zhang didn¡¯t pay much attention.  One is that he is not the person in charge of this area. In addition, the Japanese do not even pay cabbage prices when buying things in China. Even if the Japanese earn more, it will not be of much benefit to China. At most, it will be too much.  It's just a way of payment.  So after understanding these thingsFinally, Mr. Zhang said: "Well, since you like to eat bear paws, then eat more. During this time in China, as long as you need it, just say hello. This bear paw is not as bad as you imagine."  It's so rare, not to mention 300,000 Hong Kong dollars, even 1,000 yuan is not worth it." After saying this, Mr. Zhang turned back to talk to Li Guangxin. After all, China's national conditions often matter.  They all talk about things over the wine table.  Even if this is a state banquet, it is normal for Mr. Zhang and Li Guangxin to talk about serious matters.  Without the interruption of others, Li Mingbao and Li Mingyao were finally able to attack the bear's paw. After putting the bear's paw in his mouth, Li Mingbao understood why bear's paw became a rare species among mountain treasures, and thought about the future.  To eat such a dish, or the one with more meat, the price of the ingredients alone is more than 300,000 Hong Kong dollars. If you add in the chef's skills, it is not unusual for such a dish to cost millions.  The word "fat but not greasy" can definitely be used to describe the bear's paw, especially the chef at the state banquet who is very skilled. Not a single bone is left on the bear's paw, and the remaining meat is also fragrant, glutinous, salty and sweet, with a hint of  Chewy and really delicious.  And because the bear paw is made from the kind of black bear in the big forest, not the artificially raised kind, it is full of game. Even Li Mingbao thinks that he has set the price a little low, not to mention 300,000 Hong Kong dollars, even 500,000 Hong Kong dollars.  Ten thousand Hong Kong dollars, he doesn't mind at all if he can eat this dish.  After that, Li Mingbao tasted some other dishes. When the banquet was served, Li Mingbao felt that he was full.  As a result, Maotai didn¡¯t even have a few drinks.  But Li Mingbao still thinks it's worth it. After all, even if it's for a state banquet, it only costs a little money to get something like Moutai. At the current price of Moutai, he won't think it's much.  But even if Li Mingbao is rich now, he can't enjoy this table of food.  After all, today is a welcome banquet, and the level is high, so you can enjoy some of the craftsmanship that chefs don¡¯t often do at state banquets.  But after today, the standard will definitely drop a bit. Although ordinary dishes can still be eaten, Li Mingbao doesn't have to think about some special dishes for the state banquet. After all, as an investor, he wants to eat at a certain level.  The dishes are very difficult, so only if you can eat them satisfactorily on the table can you be worthy of these dishes.  But it is a pity that although Li Mingbao's stomach is very edible due to martial arts training, it is still far from the current state banquet dishes that are full of ingredients. Li Mingbao's stomach alone does not even reach one-twentieth of the weight.  , the remaining dishes almost gave Li Mingbao the urge to pack them away.  Fortunately, Li Mingbao also knew his current status. If he really did such a shameful thing, it would be a big joke, so he could only endure such an impulse.  Anyway, after eating this meal, Li Mingbao really felt a little disgusted with the food in Hong Kong.  ¡°Both Li Mingbao¡¯s own taste and that of the big boss are actually on the heavy side, especially since the big boss is from the Lianghu area in the south and can eat spicy food best.  Although Li Mingbao has never really tasted it, the spicy taste is quite deep in Li Mingbao's mind. It is completely different from the dishes in Hong Kong.  Today¡¯s state banquet has a different taste. Traditional northern dishes, plus some local dishes, made Li Mingbao full of affection for domestic dishes.  Thinking about the bland taste that I have been eating for more than ten years, it is really a sad life.  Li Mingbao is planning to wait until the end of this visit to find some good cooks from the mainland to go back and provide food for his family. It will definitely be great.  "Compared with Li Mingbao's leisurely style and eating and drinking, Li Guangxin and Li Mingyao spent more time drinking than eating food at the banquet.  Although everyone present understood that the real power and richest person in the Li family was actually Li Mingbao, the youngest young man who never stopped using his chopsticks since he got to the table.  But the problem is that among the people coming to the Li family this time, whether it is Li Guangxin or Li Mingyao, their status in the Li family is higher than that of Li Mingbao. One is Li Mingbao's father and the other is Li Mingbao's eldest brother. Their identities determine their status in the Li family.  He received more greetings at the dinner table than Li Mingbao.  Besides, as the youngest person at the table, he is at least 30 years younger than the youngest person in the country who received Li Mingbao and the three of them.  At this age, he is almost the same as Li Guangxin.  If he was too enthusiastic about Li Mingbao, that person would really be embarrassed.  In these days, there are no officials who drag investors to become grandsons regardless of their age. They are still very reserved now.  They really don¡¯t have the experience to deal with young people like Li Mingbao. You have to know that the investors they talked to before, no matter how young they are, are still the same generation as them. If they bring them over to drink and chat, it doesn¡¯t matter.??It's too difficult.  But Li Mingbao's age makes it really difficult for them. No one can shamelessly call a young man about his own son's age a brother, even if they know that this young man has too much money.
