Chapter 44 The Auction Begins

A few days passed in a blink of an eye. Ye Yuan visited the seafood market on Hong Kong Island these days. This place can be said to be a paradise for foodies. You can find all kinds of expensive seafood. Ye Yuan accidentally found 2 small fish in the seafood market. blue lobster.

Blue lobsters, a rare genetic variant of American lobsters, produce an excess of a certain protein that reacts to form the blue compound astaxanthin, which gives the shell its bright blue color.

On average, only 200 blue lobster will appear in 1 million lobsters. It is a rare marine creature comparable to living fossils. Blue lobster is easy to be confused with blue magic lobster. The large pincers of the blue magic shrimp are oval, while the pincers of the blue lobster are long strips.

Blue lobsters have spots, but blue magic prawns don't.But the blue magic shrimp is big and beautiful.Blue lobsters are one in two million crustaceans.

It also cost Ye Yuan 20. Blue lobsters cannot be cultivated. Even if they breed offspring, they will be ordinary lobsters. Ye Yuan bought them for the purpose of keeping them in the space. When the lobsters grow up, the price of one But not so much.

The day before the auction, Wang Yueshan took Ye Yuan to meet Ma Mingyuan, the manager of Henghai Group, who he thought was very influential in the wealthy circle of Hong Kong Island.

The headquarter of Eternal Sea Group is in Hong Kong Island. After starting from the seafood business in the early years, the group has diversified and its focus has gradually shifted to real estate and some other fields.

Even so, the seafood trading company under the Henghai Group is still one of the leading high-end seafood companies on 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.

Ma Mingyuan has considerable experience in seafood. He has been in the industry for nearly 20 years and is one of the experts on Hong Kong Island in terms of high-end seafood.Many seafood identifications are done by him.

Ye Yuan said with a smile: "Hi, Mr. Ma is very happy to meet you."

"Mr. Ye, hello." Ma Mingyuan extended his hand with a Hong Kong accent and shook Ye Yuan's hand warmly.

"I'm being rude to ask Mr. Ye to meet you." Ma Mingyuan, who is almost middle-aged and a manager of a company as big as Henghai Group, spoke very politely.

Ye Yuan waved his hand, "Where is it, I am also very happy to recognize Manager Ma. There is a saying in our mainland that calls multiple friends and multiple paths."

"Mr. Ye is right, that's what I mean, so Yueshan recommended you." Ma Mingyuan still responded politely.

Ye Yuan didn't know why Wang Yueshan suddenly introduced such an industry authority to himself. It stands to reason that they are colleagues. 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 chain hotel, and they also have branches in Hong Kong Island. At first, many of the seafood in his hotel were supplied by Ma Mingyuan. Later, Wang Yueshan started the seafood trade. Help him a lot.

This time Ye Yuan's abalone was able to go to the auction because of Ma Mingyuan's help.

When Ma Mingyuan knew that Ye Yuan had the ability to provide this kind of abalone for a long time and stably, he started thinking about making friends.

He raised this matter with Wang Yueshan many times, and Wang Yueshan thought to himself, he can't afford such a large high-end market, so why not cooperate with Ma Mingyuan?
He knew that Ye Yuan's business had just started, and it would gradually grow bigger, and his own trading company might not be able to eat all the seafood.

Since it's better to find a partner than to be on your own, so I introduced Ma Mingyuan to Ye Yuan.

Wang Yueshan didn't shy away either, he dragged out all his thoughts honestly, which made Ye Yuan not only take a high look.

Ma Mingyuan saw that Wang Yueshan's introduction was almost done, so he said directly:
"Our company wants you to be the sole agent of high-end seafood on Hong Kong Island. I wonder if Mr. Ye will give us this opportunity?"

Ye Yuan thought about it for a while and then said: "There is no problem with the agent, I have just started my business now, high-end seafood, I can only provide lobster and abalone at present, I will gradually introduce more high-end ingredients in the future, but I have a request, I must use The logo of our Yuwan Seafood" Ye Yuan doesn't want the seafood brand he managed to get up to be used by others as a tool to make money.

Ma Mingyuan was very happy to get Ye Yuan's promise. He could see that Ye Yuan's ambition was not small, which was a good thing for him.

He has seen the abalone brought by Ye Yuan, every one of them can cause a sensation in the Hong Kong island seafood industry.Such a potential stock can be grasped early in his hands, how can he not make him happy?
After the few people finished talking about their business, they started chatting over coffee for a while, and finally Ma Mingyuan wanted to take Ye Yuan to relax, but Ye Yuan refused.

It's not that Ye Yuan is so noble, after all, he didn't know what kind of person Ma Mingyuan was when he met him for the first time, so it's better not to be together in this regard.

On the second day of the auction, Ye Yuan changed into the dress he had prepared, and came to the auction site with Wang Yueshan.

The auction was held in the largest conference hall of the Pearl Hotel. This time there were many wealthy people present, and many foreign rich people traveled thousands of miles to come here by plane. Ye Yuan thought in his heart, "I really don't understand the world of foodies."

The two sat down in the corner, and Wang Yueshan introduced the backgrounds of rich people one after another in Ye Yuan's ear. I really didn't expect that such a small auction would invite so many rich people from all over the world.

Wang Yueshan jokingly said: "What is this? If it were a truffle auction in Europe, you would see several of the world's richest men."

Not far from Ye Yuan and the others, a beautiful young woman kept staring at them. She was Su Mei who specially came to participate in this auction.

As time went by, there were fewer and fewer seats in the venue, and there were gradually no more empty seats.

With a burst of melodious music, a hostess in a professional suit came to the middle of the stage.

With a confident smile, the hostess quickly attracted the attention of many men present.

Many media reporters also picked up their cameras and started taking pictures.

"This auction, just before the start, we arranged a small session, I believe everyone will like it." After speaking, the host gestured to the hostesses on both sides of the stage.

Two rows of tall beauties in cheongsams, with teapots in their hands, walked up to each of the guests. The auction prepared teacups for every guest who came to the auction, and the beauties poured a small cup of tea for each of them in turn. .

This makes many people do not understand what it means.Is this the show the host said?
The hostess saw that there was already tea in the teacups in front of everyone
"The tea in front of you is made from the first batch of Dahongpao cuttings 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 Yuan is not well-versed in tea, but he still knows the name of the big red envelope in Wuyi Mountain.
