"What?" Ma Xiong cried out.
The figure of four pounds really shocked Ma Xiong. He quickly put down the white truffle in his hand and continued to rummage through the box.
After searching for four truffles in a row, the biggest truffle was finally found.
A whole white truffle the size of a basketball was carefully placed on the coffee table. Ma Xiong's eyes were full of disbelief.
He rubbed his eyes hard and almost threw himself on the truffle.
After looking for a long time, Ma Xiong said loudly, "Zhi Ming, quickly inform Mr. Lawrence to come over!"
Ma Zhi Ming was also in shock. He listened to Ma Xiong's words and quickly got up and walked out of the living room with his phone.
Xia Ruofei simply took out all the truffles from the box and neatly arranged them on the large coffee table in the living room.
There were so many truffles, and each one of them was of superb quality, especially the five extra-large truffles. The largest white truffles and black truffles could undoubtedly break the world record. The visual impact was incomparably strong.
Ma Xiong looked at the truffles for a long time and murmured, "It's unbelievable, unbelievable … Xia Sheng, where did your friend find such high quality truffles? This is completely the taste of pure Italian truffles! "
Xia Ruofei smiled and didn't answer Ma Xiong's words.
Ma Xiong also immediately recovered and said with an embarrassed smile, "I was presumptuous …"
He quickly said, "Xia Sheng, if your friend has truffles of similar quality, Hengfeng will buy them all!"
Ma Xiong didn't mention the purchase of this batch of truffles because he was very clear that no one would be willing to sell such high quality truffles directly. Only through auction could the profits be maximized.
"I can ask, but now it's the end of the truffle season. Even if there are, there shouldn't be a lot." Xia Ruofei said with a smile.
"No matter how many there are, I'll take them all!" Ma Xiong said without hesitation.
Xia Ruofei smiled and nodded.
After a while, Ma Zhiming led the chef of the hotel's top-floor restaurant, Michelin-starred chef Mark Lawrence, into the reception room of the presidential suite.
As soon as Lawrence walked into the parlor, he smelled the unique scent of top-grade truffles in the air. Then, he saw the rows of truffles neatly arranged on the coffee table in the parlor.
Lawrence's mouth was agape, his eyes filled with disbelief as he cried out, "Oh! My God! What am I seeing? Mr. Ma, could it be that the stingy Grasso Family has already traded their auction item to you in advance? "
"Of course not!" Ma Xiong smiled and said, "Lawrence, let me introduce you. This is my friend Xia Ruofei, Mr. Xia. He is also the owner of this batch of truffles!"
"Hello, Mr. Lawrence!" Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "I tasted your cooking yesterday. It's amazing!"
"Thank you for your compliment, Mr. Xia!" Lawrence was a little absent-minded as he thanked Xia Ruofei for his compliment. Then, he quickly asked, "If I didn't hear wrong, Mr. Ma, you said … you are the owner of this batch of truffles?"
"To be precise, I am the agent of the owner of the truffles," Xia Ruofei said with a smile. "But I have full authority to deal with this batch of truffles!"
Ma Xiong said, "Lawrence, I invited you here to let you see the quality of these truffles."
"Mr. Ma, even if you didn't ask me, I would have taken a good look," Lawrence said immediately. "God … are these really white truffles? I have never seen such a big white truffle … "
As he spoke, Lawrence had already begun to carefully observe every detail of these truffles, especially a few large truffles. He looked at them repeatedly for a long time.
Then, he raised his head and said, "Mr. Ma, there is no doubt that the quality of these truffles is top-notch. Even the most picky chef wouldn't be able to find any flaws!"
Then, Lawrence said, "I can be sure that the truffles that the Grasso family will auction tonight will be overshadowed by this batch of truffles!"
Ma Xiong was very good with truffles. Now that he had the opinion of a professional chef, it confirmed his judgment even more.
He smiled and nodded. "Thank you, Lawrence!"
"I should be the one thanking you, Mr. Ma!" Lawrence said. "If you hadn't invited me, how could I have the opportunity to see such perfect top-notch truffles?"
Speaking of this, Lawrence suddenly thought of something and quickly said, "Mr. Ma, since these truffles won't be participating in tonight's auction, can you buy them directly? The top floor restaurant urgently needs such high-quality truffles! Especially this largest white truffle, it fits the position of Hengfeng Jiahua's top-notch luxury! "
Ma Xiong smiled and said, "Lawrence, I can understand your feelings, but I can't let Xia Sheng's friend suffer a loss. Such truffles will definitely be participating in the auction!"
After that, Ma Xiong said to Xia Ruofei, "Xia Sheng, it's not appropriate for us to participate in the Grasso family's auction. However, I can contact the guests who will be participating in tonight's auction and choose some high-quality customers with strong financial strength. After the Grasso family auction, we will immediately hold a small auction dedicated to your batch of top-notch truffles. What do you think?"
"That's great!" Xia Ruofei said happily. "Mr. Ma, thank you!"
Ma Xiong really spared no effort to help Xia Ruofei. Even if he held a small auction after someone else's auction, it was actually somewhat taboo. After all, those customers were invited by the Grasso family to participate in the auction.
It wasn't easy for Ma Xiong to do this.
"Xia Sheng, store these truffles in cold storage first!" Ma Xiong said. "It's not good to expose them outside for a long time …"
"Yes, yes, yes. Quickly store them away!" Lawrence said quickly.
Everyone put the black truffles and white truffles into separate boxes. Xia Ruofei put them back into the fridge.
Lawrence reluctantly looked at the fridge. It was as if he suddenly had X-ray vision and could see through the fridge door to see the truffles inside.
Ma Xiong needed to visit his business friends who were also participating in the auction. At the same time, he also needed to promote Xia Ruofei's small auction.
Therefore, the three of them quickly left.
In the evening, Xia Ruofei ordered dinner in the presidential suite. After eating, he went to the cloakroom to change into a full suit.
All the clothes here were prepared in advance, and they were all top-notch brands.
For example, the dark gray suit that Xia Ruofei was wearing was from the high-end Italian men's clothing brand Brioni. Although it wasn't tailor-made, the price was still as high as five thousand dollars.
Clothes make the man. Xia Ruofei, who had absorbed many strange flower petals, had a natural affinity. After he put on the fitted Brioni suit, he looked even more handsome and charming.
After changing into the formal suit, Xia Ruofei stepped out of the presidential suite in high spirits.
He couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart. Tonight was destined to be a fruitful night for him!
