660. Three Michelin stars (4/5)
It was afternoon when Li Du met Cole Winston.
Considering that New York is in the Greater Northeast of the United States and Las Vegas is in the Greater Southwest, Cole was able to come over on the same day after receiving the news, which shows that he attaches great importance to Li Du and this batch of gems.
It also shows that this person should be more pragmatic, low-key, and easier to speak.
Of course, the same is true for Cole Winston's face. He looks quite star-like, and he is also a big comedy star, Jim Carrey, especially his eyes and nose parts, which are very similar.
For ordinary people, it is a good thing to look like this, but for a group CEO, it's fucking like a comedy star.
Several times, Cole Winston was furious in the conference room, but someone was grinning below. He asked why, and the other party told him honestly: I thought I saw Kim Carrey performing.
Every time I encounter this situation, what else can Cole do besides saying "Mom"?
The evolution of appearance characteristics is very similar to the ability of their three generations of grandparents and grandchildren. Hairy Winston is smart and capable, and although Ronald is not smart enough, he looks quite majestic. When he arrives at Cole, he looks funny...
Li Du previously studied the history of Hairy Winston and the person Cole Winston in his office. There is an evaluation of their three generations of grandparents and grandchildren. In the common saying of his hometown, it is: Weasels have rats, and each generation is worse than the other!
But he didn't feel that way, and he felt that Cole should be easy to deal with. In Chinese, he said that this person is kind-hearted.
Roger recommended to both sides, and Cole held Li Du's hand and said, "Hello, Mr. Li, more than 20 days ago, I heard Roger mention you, he is such a young hero."
Li Du said politely: "Thank you for your compliment, President Winston, it's a great thing to see you here."
Kerr said: "Yes, this is definitely a good thing, and in my opinion, this meeting is like a meeting between Hairui Group in Jinggangshan of your country!"
Li Du was surprised and said, "You actually know about this historical event in our country."
Cole smiled reservedly, something he had temporarily attacked on the plane.
After a brief greeting between the two sides, the topic was getting to the point, and Cole had to visit this batch of gems.
The gem identification work is in progress and has come to an end.
These fire opals have no problem with the texture. They are not fake. Now they are rated by quality and are graded according to quality.
Among them, the appraisal work is given priority to high-quality opals, and the top 50 opals are identified first, and the recommended price is also released.
The best piece of opal has 342 carats, and is a large gem with a good texture and a red jungle-shaped fire inside, which is very valuable.
The price of this opal is 4.5 million, and the price is close to the total price of more than 50 opals sold by Li Du last time. This is normal. The output of Fire Opal is too low.
Seeing the price, Cole's eyelids twitched a few times, and he continued to look down, his eyelids twitched more and more:
Suggested quotation: 285; Suggested quotation: 220 quotation; Suggested quotation: 1.92 million; Suggested quotation: 1.55 million...
The tour is over and the appraisal work is still in progress. There are too many gems that appear this time, and the appraisal may not be completed within one day. The work will last until the next day.
In the evening, Roger introduced them to a three-star Michelin restaurant called Joe Lubsson, which is the only three-star restaurant in Las Vegas.
This restaurant is famous for traditional French cuisine and is located in the MGM Resort. The entrance is in a private small garden in the hotel. A group of people walk through the small garden, walking in the deep winding paths, and then suddenly enlightened.
The overall style of Joe Lubsson restaurant is more like a private club than a restaurant, with a luxurious extended Lincoln pick-up service for guests who booked dinner.
This is not the first time Li Du has entered a restaurant with Michelin stars. The golden Aquidan from Flagstaff City has only brought one star, but only one star.
Many people know Michelin and know that this is a tire brand. Michelin restaurants themselves have nothing to do with Michelin companies. They rank these restaurants, ranking them from one to three stars. The more stars the higher the advanced ones.
Compared to Joe Lubsong Restaurant, the golden Aquidan is a bit inadequate to see.
This is normal. The owner of Joe Lubsong Restaurant is a famous chef and enjoys the reputation of "Century Famous Chef". At the age of 38, he won the highest honor of three Michelin stars for the restaurant, becoming the youngest talented chef to win three stars so far.
The golden Aquidan decoration is very exquisite, but the decoration here can be called meticulous. The overall look is nothing at first glance, but the more you look at it, the more you feel like you, and every detail is rigorous and perfect.
After they entered the restaurant, a beautiful French girl came up to greet them.
Roger handed his business card to the girl. After checking the reservation records, the girl took them into the deputy hall.
There are two types of restaurants: main hall and sub-room. The main hall is big and beautiful, and the theme colors will change year by year. It is winter now, and the main color of the decoration is ocean blue.
Their sub-room is smaller, but more quiet and elegant. The walls are covered with green vines and leaves and flowers on the ground. They are not flower arrangements, but serious fresh plants.
After sitting down, Roger explained to Li Du: "Sorry, Li, this time I can only entertain you in the deputy hall, because the main hall needs to be positioned one week in advance, so we can't have time."
Li Du waved his hand and said, "You are so kind, man, the environment here is very good, I am very satisfied. Now, let's not be polite, let's order food, I can't wait."
The restaurant uses a combination of appetizers + soup + main course + desserts. The main dish here is a 12-course chef's selection of menus, with a total price of 2,400 yuan.
Yes, a meal costs $2,400...
Roger recommended this package. Considering the financial situation of Hairui Group, Li Du decided to choose it himself.
For the appetizer, he ordered truffle seafood salad, for the soup, he chose mint pepper-flavored British bean soup, and for the main course, he chose king crab with fresh milk sauce and sea urchin lobster baked risotto.
After listening to the dish he ordered, Roger said: "I recommend you a roast duck meat and foie gras with cherry sauce. I think as a Chinese, you should like to eat roast duck. If you like it, don't miss it."
It was hard to refuse the kindness, and Li Du did not refuse and added another main course.
Don’t worry about not being able to eat. This kind of restaurant is not designed to make people eat a full meal!
