Chapter 662 661. Buy My (55)

Three Michelin stars is extraordinary.

In addition to bread for pre-dinner meals, there are also appetizers, which are different from cucumbers and small pickles in ordinary restaurants. The appetizers of this restaurant are black caviar with crab meat.

The beautiful and dignified waitress introduced it after serving it, saying that this is a small gift from the restaurant, and guests are invited to taste it.

This restaurant specializes in French cuisine, and caviar has always been the pride of French recipes. The restaurant gives free caviar, which shows how high-grade it is.

The dish delivered was covered with thick caviar. Under the soft light, the surface of the caviar shone with a layer of crystal light, which is the sign of the best caviar.

However, not all caviar is on the plate, otherwise the price will be too high, and the restaurant will not even be able to make a profit.

There is only one layer of caviar on the top, and the bottom is fresh crab meat. The crab meat is all carved, a bit like the carved paper-cut in Li Du's hometown, one layer after another.

Rogge entertained Li Du to start the meal: "Please taste, Li, the black caviar here is a special feature, it is not for sale, only when you come here to eat, you will get a free copy."

Li Du took a piece of croissant, spread caviar on it and matched it with a piece of crab meat. In this way, the aroma of the freshly baked bread and the freshness of the crab meat blended together, making it very delicious.

As for the caviar? When Li Du ate it, he could feel the fish eggs exploding in his mouth, but he couldn't taste any delicious taste.

Soon, the appetizers were served. Li Du ordered the truffle seafood salad. This dish was very delicate. It was not served on a plate, but on a large shell.

It is said to be a salad, but it does not use salad dressing, but a crystal clear seafood jelly and cheese sauce, sprinkled with a layer of black truffle powder, which is used to eat with champagne.

After eating this delicious salad, Li Du had to admit that a restaurant with three Michelin stars is really worth the money.

Eating in this kind of place is to enjoy delicious food and enjoy life. In contrast, eating in ordinary restaurants is just to fill your stomach and live.

Mint and Pepper English Bean Soup followed, served by two waiters

One waiter is responsible for serving the plate, and after putting it down, another waiter will use a small pot to pour the thick bean soup into the foam with the fragrance of fresh onions, and prepare it on the spot.

Each dish has its own characteristics, which Li Du has never touched before. When it came time to serve the main course, the king crab with fresh milk sauce he ordered was even pasted with a thin gold leaf...

During the meal, Rogge dominated the topic. They didn't talk about jewelry or business, they just talked about food.

Cole's business skills are average, but he is superb in food. He has been traveling around the world since he was in middle school, except for his studies.

Naturally, he is not only enjoying the beautiful scenery and looking for beauties, but also enjoying the food.

Rogge is a person with a delicate life, and he is very particular about his diet, while Li Du loves life and is good at cooking, so the three of them chatted about food and it was quite interesting.

During the dinner, they kept chatting about food and the taste and texture of the dishes they chose. The waiter next to him heard it and paid attention to it frequently.

After the meal, the manager of the restaurant specially came over and gave them some desserts, and asked them enthusiastically how they were feeling and if they had any suggestions.

Li Du felt very good, so he said he had no suggestion, and thanked them very much for their hospitality.

As a result, after they checked out and left, the restaurant manager gave them another pastry for supper...

After walking out of the restaurant, Li Du said with satisfaction: "The service in the Michelin three-star restaurant is really outstanding, and it's definitely worth the money."

Cole smiled and said, "No, Li, I think they misunderstood us and regarded us as Michelin's food inspectors, so they came here to please us."

Michelin's rating of restaurants is done by a group of selected food spies, who are called "food inspectors".

Every time inspectors go to a restaurant or hotel to judge, they need to hide their identities and sneak into the accommodation and review. They often talk about food at the table and make professional reviews.

Perhaps, the waiter and manager of the restaurant today did misunderstand...

But no matter what, Li Du was very satisfied with today's dinner.

Rogge arranged a hotel for him, and there was nothing to say all night. After lunch the next day, all the gemstone identification results came out.

The total value of 600 fire opals is 72 million U.S. dollars, and the average value of each gemstone is more than 100,000 U.S. dollars.

The reason why the value of opal is so large this time is mainly because there are some high-quality gemstones with excellent texture, which drive up the price.

The batch of opals that Li Du obtained from Suerji and Hughes were relatively high in value, and they were worth about eight million U.S. dollars.

After earning more than 70 million US dollars in more than 20 days, Li Du felt that he had the opportunity to become the richest man in the world, which meant that he worked hard and could earn one billion a year!

Thinking happily in his heart, Cole's words shattered his dream: "Li, I don't know how you got so many gems. First of all, I must congratulate you. Secondly, I want to ask, there will be these gems in the future. supply?"

Li Duhao said angrily: "Of course, as long as the group needs it, I can continue to supply it."

Cole shook his head: "Sorry, after the group completes this acquisition, they will no longer be able to eat Fire Opal. In addition, if you will continue to launch Fire Opal in the future, then we cannot give the current price."

Li Du asked in surprise, "Why?"

"Because the market is saturated, fire opal is not a precious gem that is popular all over the world. It only has a market in Europe and the United States. If we continue to push out gemstones, its value will decrease." Cole said.

Li Du understood that scarcity is the most precious thing. The reason why fire opal can be sold at high prices repeatedly is because of its scarcity. When it is no longer so rare, naturally it will not be able to sustain high prices.

But what he doesn't understand is: "Compared to the entire European and American markets, the number of these opals is not large, right? It is impossible to affect the market price?"

"It is divided into three hundred and sixty-five days a year, which is very little, but it is enough for a one-time launch, and it will bring a certain impact to the market." Cole explained.

Li Du nodded slowly, expressing his understanding.

He understood Cole's subtext. In fact, Hai Rui Group can't take it anymore, and other luxury companies still have purchasing power.

Cole didn't continue this topic, he asked again: "Li, as far as I know, you are buying the shares of the group right now?"

Li Du nodded: "Yes, I am very confident in the development of the group."

Hearing what he said, Cole laughed and said, "I'm very glad to get your appreciation. I want to know, what is the use of the money you sold the gems this time? Is it all used to acquire the group's equity?"

"Yes." There was nothing to hide, and Li Du gave the answer frankly.

Cole smiled more happily: "So, are you interested in buying the equity in my hand?"
