Xia Ruofei did not expect Ma Xiong to personally come to the hotel to welcome him. This was out of his expectations.
Ma Xiong had a high status in Hong Kong. Needless to say, he had tens of billions worth of assets and was one of the top ten richest men in Hong Kong. He was also the director of Hong Kong's Jockey Club, Sir Yingjili, and many other titles. There were probably less than ten people in Hong Kong who had the same social status as him.
Although Xia Ruofei had saved Ma Xiong's life, it was inevitable that Xia Ruofei was flattered by such a high level of treatment.
Therefore, before the car stopped, Xia Ruofei opened the door and stepped out of the car. He then quickly walked towards Ma Xiong.
He said, "Mr. Ma, how can I let you personally come to welcome me? I don't deserve this! "
Ma Xiong laughed heartily and said, "Xia Sheng is my Ma Family's benefactor! Of course, of course … "
Some of the hotel's executives saw this scene and couldn't help but be speechless.
When Ma Xiong personally came to the hotel to welcome the guest, they were already secretly guessing how distinguished the guest must be for Ma Xiong to treat him with such respect.
And when they saw the ridiculously young Xia Ruofei, these people's eyes almost popped out. They originally thought that the person who could make Ma Xiong so solemnly welcome would definitely be a super rich person or a business tycoon. They didn't expect it to be such an ordinary looking young man.
Xia Ruofei and Ma Xiong spoke in Mandarin, so the Hengfeng Hotel's executives couldn't help but whisper in their hearts. Could this person be the son of a wealthy family in China? Even so, Chairman Ma shouldn't treat him with such respect.
With Ma Xiong's identity and special status in Hong Kong, he could directly talk to the political tycoons in China. Even if this person was the son of a wealthy family, Ma Xiong shouldn't have to personally welcome him.
The hotel's executives who participated in the reception were all guessing in their hearts. Ma Xiong had already exchanged a few words with Xia Ruofei, then he looked at Feng Jing.
Ma Xiong smiled and said, "Xia Sheng, is this Manager Feng from your company? He's so young and promising! I heard from Jiajun that they are working well with Manager Feng! "
Feng Jing was also slightly nervous in front of this legendary tycoon. She hurriedly stepped forward and greeted, "Hello, Mr. Ma!"
"Good, good, good!" Ma Xiong didn't put on any airs and asked with a smile, "Is the preparation for the auction going smoothly? If your company has any requests, just tell Jia Jun directly. He will fully cooperate! "
"Okay, thank you, Mr. Ma." Feng Jing said.
Feng Jing now knew that Xia Ruofei and Ma Xiong had such a deep personal relationship.
She had been in Hong Kong for four or five days, and she felt a little strange. On the one hand, the reception was very warm, and on the other hand, there was almost no resistance in her work. Hengfeng Auction House did its best to satisfy some of her requests for improvement. If they couldn't do it, Dong Jiajun would personally come forward and explain to her patiently.
It could be said that during the preparation for the auction, Feng Jing's ideas were basically all realized. It was so smooth that she couldn't believe it.
Originally, Feng Jing was prepared for difficulties. After all, Hengfeng Group was a giant conglomerate, and Hengfeng Auction House was also a well-known auction house in the industry. The Taoyuan Company was only a small company with a little reputation.
In such an unequal cooperation, the weaker party would definitely be at a disadvantage. Some reasonable requests might not be met. Moreover, Feng Jing wanted to use this auction as an opportunity to promote the Taoyuan Company as much as possible. So, she was prepared for a tug-of-war.
However, almost all of her preparations were useless.
Today, the General Manager of Hengfeng Group, Ma Zhiming, personally went to the airport to pick her up, and a legendary figure like Chairman Ma Xiong also personally went to the hotel to welcome her. Moreover, both parties were so familiar with each other. Feng Jing suddenly realized.
She remembered that when she proposed to come to Hong Kong to coordinate the auction matters a few days ago, Xia Ruofei strongly dissuaded her.
It wasn't until now that Feng Jing realized that Xia Ruofei didn't think there was a need to coordinate at all. It was just that he didn't want to dampen her enthusiasm for work, so he didn't say it out loud.
Thinking of this, Feng Jing couldn't help but secretly glance at Xia Ruofei with some embarrassment.
Fortunately, Xia Ruofei didn't pay attention to her. He was still smiling and talking to Ma Xiong.
The group of people exchanged a few words at the entrance of the hotel and began to walk inside.
The precious one-headed abalone had been put back into the incubator. A big man in black followed behind Xia Ruofei with the incubator in his hand.
Ma Xiong said with a smile, "Xia Sheng, I'll arrange the presidential suite on the top floor for you this time. If you have any other needs during your stay, just tell Yu Hao. He's the General Manager of this hotel."
A middle-aged man in a suit next to Ma Xiong quickly bowed slightly to Xia Ruofei, presented a business card with both hands, and said respectfully, "Xia Sheng, please advise me!"
Xia Ruofei smiled as he took the business card and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you for these two days, President Yu!"
"I wouldn't dare! I wouldn't dare! You're too polite … "Yu Hao said quickly.
Ma Xiong and Ma Zhiming personally accompanied Xia Ruofei and Feng Jing to take the presidential suite's elevator to the top floor.
When the group of people arrived at the huge luxurious living room, Ma Xiong couldn't wait to ask to see the best one-headed abalones that were about to be auctioned.
Xia Ruofei naturally wouldn't refuse such a small request, not to mention that these abalones would appear at the auction tomorrow.
With a smile, he opened the incubator.
Although they had already seen the photos and videos of the best one-headed abalones, when they saw 20 to 30 huge abalones stacked on the coffee table with their own eyes, they couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air.
It was also Feng Jing's first time seeing the best one-headed abalones. The shock in her eyes wasn't any less than Ma Xiong's and his son's.
Ma Xiong's hands were even trembling slightly as he muttered, "One-headed abalones … The best one-headed abalones … I never dreamed that I would see so many of them one day …"
As a native of Hong Kong, Ma Xiong's love for seafood was ingrained in his bones. Even though he was already a billionaire, he couldn't help but lose his composure when he saw so many of the best one-headed abalones that he couldn't buy with money in the past.
Xia Ruofei smiled slightly and accurately picked out a few abalones from the large pile. In fact, these abalones had numbers on their outer packaging, and at the same time, they were labeled with their precisely measured weights. With Xia Ruofei's memory, he could naturally distinguish them at a glance.
The abalones that Xia Ruofei picked out were slightly lighter. Strictly speaking, they weren't even up to the standard of a one-headed abalone. The other three abalones were the heaviest, and they were going to be the finale of the auction.
Putting these abalones aside, Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "Mr. Ma, according to our previous agreement, you can choose two one-headed abalones from here."
In addition to the three heaviest abalones and the two that Tang He had bought in advance, there were a total of 20 of the best one-headed abalones.
Ma Zhiming didn't know that his father and Xia Ruofei had such an agreement. When he heard this, he couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised. Feng Jing's mouth moved slightly, and she felt somewhat distressed. However, Xia Ruofei had already made a decision, and she still had a sense of propriety, so she didn't say anything.
Ma Xiong nodded excitedly and said, "Okay, okay, okay …"
He came in front of the 20 best one-headed abalones, picked one up, looked at it for a long time, then put it down, and picked up another one.
These abalones that grew in the Ring-Tu space were of very high quality. Ma Xiong liked all of them.
This super-rich man, who was decisive in his business dealings, began to hesitate when faced with twenty abalones.
However, in the end, he still chose two abalones and held them in his hands. Then, he looked at the remaining 18 abalones with some reluctance and said, "Xia Sheng, I'll take these two!"
"No problem!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile.
He saw very clearly that Ma Xiong didn't pick the two heaviest abalones out of the 20. Instead, he picked the two that were of medium weight.
The old man was quite generous. He didn't pick the heavier abalones just because Xia Ruofei asked him to pick them himself. He also knew that these abalones were going to be auctioned the next day. Xia Ruofei was kind enough to let him pick two abalones before the auction.
Xia Ruofei gathered the remaining abalones together, then put them in an insulated box. He walked to the huge double-door refrigerator and placed them one by one in the refrigerator.
Ma Xiong held the two abalones lovingly and said with a smile, "Xia Sheng, I don't know what price we can get at the auction tomorrow. I think … Why don't I wait until the auction ends tomorrow, and then I'll pay you according to the auction price?"
Xia Ruofei waved his hand and said, "No need, no need. Mr. Ma, you can pay as you see fit! With our friendship, how can I sell them to you according to the auction price? "
Ma Xiong laughed and said, "How embarrassing is that? You've already given me a lot of face by letting me pick the abalones first. How can I let you lose money? "
Ma Zhiming also chimed in, "Yes, Xia Sheng! My dad is right. Let's just pay according to the auction price! We can't let you lose money … "
Xia Ruofei pretended to be angry and said, "Are the two of you looking down on me? Mr. Ma, if I only wanted to make money, wouldn't it be better if I just put all the abalones up for auction? I think that with your wealth, it's impossible that you can't even get two abalones, right? "
Ma Xiong was stunned for a moment, then he smiled and said, "Xia Sheng, we're treating you as an outsider … Okay! We'll do as you say! "
Then he muttered to himself and said, "Then … I think four million yuan for one abalone is a more reasonable price …"
Hearing this price, Ma Zhiming didn't even blink his eyes. This amount of money was indeed nothing to him. It was hard to buy what he liked with money! His father loved abalones so much. Spending eight million yuan to buy two one-headed abalones was really worth it.
After Feng Jing heard Ma Xiong's price, she took a deep breath. She felt that this money was really easy to earn. Four million yuan for one abalone …
In fact, even though one-headed abalones were rare, the rich were not spendthrifts. It was impossible for the auction price to break through the sky, so it could still be estimated. Even though Ma Xiong was indebted to Xia Ruofei, the price he said was basically his prediction of the auction price.
After all, he didn't want to treat his benefactor, Xia Ruofei, unfairly in terms of money.
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "Mr. Ma, to tell you the truth, Mr. Ma! Tang He from Shengbang also bought two one-headed abalones from me. The weight was about the same as the two you chose, and I charged him six million yuan. So … at most, you can't exceed this standard. I can't be biased! "
After Ma Xiong heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. He couldn't help but say, "I didn't expect Xia Sheng and Brother Tang to have such a good relationship!"
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "We have some business dealings. Coincidentally, when your company's employees went to the farm to identify the abalones, Mr. Tang was also a guest at my place. After seeing these abalones, he liked them very much and bought two from me on the spot."
After Ma Xiong heard this, he nodded slightly and said, "Okay! Xia Sheng, since you've said this … then we'll do as you say! "
After that, Ma Xiong gave Ma Zhiming a look. Ma Zhiming immediately took out his checkbook, wrote numbers, and signed his name.
Xia Ruofei took the check and put it in his pocket without looking at it.
After Ma Xiong got the two abalones, he was eager to go home. After everyone chatted for a while, he stood up and said, "Xia Sheng, then I'll leave first. I've arranged a welcome dinner tonight. I hope you and Mr. Feng will honor me with your presence!"
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "Thank you, Mr. Ma!"
After sending Ma Xiong and Ma Zhiming out of the door, only Feng Jing and Xia Ruofei were left in the huge presidential suite.
Being alone with Xia Ruofei in the hotel room, Feng Jing felt her heart beating faster.
Luckily, the presidential suite was very big. It wasn't like a normal hotel room. Other than the bed, there were only a few chairs.
Feng Jing glanced at Xia Ruofei and said, "Chairman, I'll give you a report on the preparations for the auction over the past few days and tomorrow's schedule!"
Xia Ruofei waved his hand and said, "I'll leave the details to you. I'm relieved …"
"But tomorrow, you have to …"
"Tomorrow, you'll represent the company to take charge of everything. I won't be involved!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile.
"Ah?" Feng Jing couldn't help but open her mouth wide.
Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "What are you 'ah' for? You're the general manager of the company. Can't you represent the company? Don't tell me you have stage fright? "
In fact, Xia Ruofei had made up his mind before he left. He would hide as much as he could on such an occasion. There would be so many media present tomorrow. If he appeared on the stage, he would be completely exposed to the spotlight. It wouldn't be easy for him to live a low-key life in the future.
Feng Jing was the general manager of the company. As a woman, she had a natural advantage. What's more, Feng Jing had a beautiful image and a good temperament. She was the most suitable person for such an occasion.
Feng Jing said without thinking, "I won't have stage fright!"
"Then it's settled." Xia Ruofei lay down on the soft leather sofa and said lazily, "You were the one who volunteered to come to Hong Kong …"
Feng Jing couldn't help but stare at Xia Ruofei coquettishly and said softly, "You only know how to be lazy …"
With Xia Ruofei's hearing, he naturally heard it clearly. However, he still pretended to be confused and asked, "What did you say?"
"Nothing!" Feng Jing looked at Xia Ruofei snappily.
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "Manager Feng, so you can handle the details yourself. I have absolute trust in your ability!"
"Alright …" Feng Jing said, "Chairman, then I'll go back to my room. The auction will start tomorrow. I still have a lot of things to prepare."
"Alright, thank you for your hard work, Manager Feng!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile.
Then he asked, "Oh right, there are a lot of rooms in this presidential suite. The conditions should be better than the guest room you're staying in. Do you want to move in?"
When he asked this, Xia Ruofei regretted a little.
Although the presidential suite was surprisingly large, there were seven to eight large and small bedrooms, and there was also a study, living room, small kitchen, etc. It was bigger than most people's homes. However, this was only a guest room in the hotel! How could he invite a girl to stay with him?
