When Xia Ruofei decided to cultivate the caterpillar fungus, he had already predicted that the benefits would be considerable. However, after the harvest today, the data still made Xia Ruofei feel a little dizzy.
Even now that the Taoyuan Company was in the fast track of development, and the Taoyuan vegetables and Yuji ointment could capture a lot of profits, the huge benefits of the caterpillar fungus still surprised Xia Ruofei.
"Xia Qing, collect all the caterpillar fungus as soon as possible." Xia Ruofei said with a hint of excitement, "I'm going to expand the scope of the cultivation garden as soon as possible."
"Yes, master!" Xia Qing said, "I'll continue to dig for the caterpillar fungus!"
"Wait!" Xia Ruofei stopped Xia Qing, "Pick out 500 grams of caterpillar fungus first and wrap it in a gift box. I'll need it these two days."
"Understood!" Xia Qing said calmly.
Xia Ruofei was still hesitating during the day about what gift to give Ma Xiong. After all, it was not good to go to someone else's place empty-handed. This batch of caterpillar fungus was like a timely rain. The caterpillar fungus itself was a precious medicinal material, and its nutritional content was even higher than ginseng. It could strengthen the body's immune system and nourish the lungs and kidneys. For the elderly, this gift was perfect.
After instructing Xia Qing a few more words, Xia Ruofei left the space and returned to the outside world.
It was already ten o 'clock at night, and he had to fly to Hong Kong tomorrow, so Xia Ruofei took a shower and went to bed.
The next morning, Xue Ming, the manager of the Hengfeng Group office in Sanshan, personally drove a car to Taoyuan Farm and sent Xia Ruofei to the airport.
This time, Ma Xiong sent a private jet to pick up Xia Ruofei.
Just like the last auction of the best quality abalone, Xia Ruofei had to carry 90 kilograms of precious truffles. It was not convenient to take a civil flight, and Ma Xiong thought it was not safe either. Therefore, he insisted on sending a plane to pick him up. Xia Ruofei could not refuse, so he had no choice but to agree.
Xia Ruofei and Xue Ming were old acquaintances. After exchanging a few pleasantries, Xue Ming personally put the three boxes that Xia Ruofei had prepared into the trunk of the Mercedes-Benz.
After arriving at the airport, Xue Ming carried the precious truffles onto the plane. After settling them down, he respectfully bid farewell to Xia Ruofei.
Xia Ruofei had taken Ma Xiong's Gulfstream G650 many times, and Ma Xiong had sent a plane to pick him up several times, so the crew was very familiar with Xia Ruofei.
They were also very respectful to Xia Ruofei, because they knew that the young man in front of them had a special relationship with the big boss. Moreover, Xia Ruofei was not arrogant. He was very gentle to everyone, so the crew had a good impression of him.
The flight from Sanshan to Hong Kong was very short, but in these short two hours, Xia Ruofei still enjoyed the best service.
In addition to Ma Xiong's collection of fine wine, there was even a professional chef who cooked for Xia Ruofei on the plane.
The Gulfstream G650 cruising altitude was higher than the average civil flight, so this altitude was more stable. Except for the two stages of taking off and landing, the rest of the time was quite stable.
Xia Ruofei basically enjoyed a French meal in the sky, then landed at Hong Kong's airport.
Ma Zhiming and Feng Jing went to the airport to pick him up. After everyone exchanged a few words, they got in the car and returned to Hengfeng Jiahua Hotel in Hong Kong.
As expected, the Ma family still arranged the only presidential suite in Hengfeng Jiahua for Xia Ruofei.
Xia Ruofei also knew that he could not refuse, and Ma Xiong would definitely not agree, so he could only accept it helplessly.
One must know that Ma Xiong invited a lot of celebrities from the upper class for this auction. Many of them came from Europe and the United States, and this only presidential suite was still reserved for Xia Ruofei. It could be seen that Ma Xiong valued him.
Xia Ruofei just put the three boxes of truffles into the specially prepared freezer, and Ma Xiong brought Tian Huixin and Huanhuan to his room.
"Brother Ruofei!" Huanhuan suddenly got out of Tian Huixin's arms and quickly rushed to Xia Ruofei.
"Little Huanhuan!" Xia Ruofei also had a warm smile on his face. He hugged Huanhuan, kissed her pink little face, and said, "Long time no see, Huanhuan has grown a lot taller!"
Huanhuan said proudly, "Yes! Because Huanhuan is very obedient every time we eat! "
"Well, not bad!" Xia Ruofei praised, then carried Huanhuan and greeted Ma Xiong and Tian Huixin, "Old Mr. Ma, Aunt Tian, hello!"
"Xia Sheng, you have worked hard!" Ma Xiong said with a smile.
They all knew that Huanhuan and Xia Ruofei were very close. She had always been very clingy to Xia Ruofei, so they did not let Huanhuan get out of Xia Ruofei's arms.
If it were other guests, it would be a little impolite, but the Ma family treated Xia Ruofei as one of their own, so it was fine.
"Everyone, please take a seat!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "Manager Feng, I have some tea leaves from home in my bag. Can I trouble you to brew some for everyone?"
"Okay." Feng Jing replied.
Ma Xiong quickly said, "Xia Sheng, there's no rush to drink tea. I came here today to take a look first!"
Although he already knew the specific data of this batch of truffles many days ago, and he knew that Xia Ruofei would definitely not give a blank check, as an old glutton who loved truffles, he could not help but want to see what a giant truffle that was more than 5 catties looked like. Xia Ruofei did not put that giant truffle that was almost 6 catties into the auction this time.
Xia Ruofei gestured to Feng Jing to continue brewing tea as he said with a smile, "Old Mr. Ma, I have already brought the truffle here. It won't grow legs and run away, so there's no need to rush … Oh, right …"
Xia Ruofei said this, then turned around and said, "Manager Feng, I have a brown gift box in my bag. Can you please bring it over for me?"
"Okay, wait a moment!" Feng Jing replied.
Soon, Feng Jing found the tea leaves and gift box that Xia Ruofei put in his bag. She took the two items and walked over, handed the gift box to Xia Ruofei, and then went to the side to brew tea.
Xia Ruofei carried Huanhuan with one hand and handed the gift box to Ma Xiong with the other. He smiled and said, "Old Mr. Ma, this is a small gift to show my respect for you!"
Ma Xiong knew that Xia Ruofei would definitely give something good, and his eyes lit up. He reached out to take the gift box and said happily, "Xia Sheng, you are so polite every time you come. This is so embarrassing …"
"Haha, it's just a local product." Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "This is a product that our company is selling. It's a gift for you to nourish your body."
"Oh?" Ma Xiong couldn't help but open the gift box on the spot.
Ma Zhiming and Tian Huixin were also very curious about Xia Ruofei's gift, and they couldn't help but look over.
As soon as the box was opened, Ma Xiong couldn't help but gasp.
Ma Zhiming exclaimed directly, "Such a big awe-inspiring caterpillar fungus! Xia Sheng, this gift of yours is really rare! "
In the box, more than 500 caterpillar fungus were neatly arranged, and the grass heads were all facing the same direction. Each caterpillar fungus was quite fat and had a beautiful golden color.
The Ma family naturally had seen the world, especially the Hong Kong people who especially valued food and medicine. They all knew how precious caterpillar fungus of this grade was.
Ma Xiong held the gift box in his arms as if he had found a treasure. He said with emotion, "Although I know that Xia Sheng has always been generous, such a big caterpillar fungus still shocked me."
"What's even rarer is that these caterpillar fungus are very uniform!" Tian Huixin also said.
"Yes!" Ma Xiong said, "Xia Sheng, you spent a lot of money, right?"
Ma Xiong knew that this small box of caterpillar fungus cost at least hundreds of thousands. Although this amount of money was nothing in his eyes, many good things couldn't be bought with money, such as the old wild ginseng, the best truffles and abalones provided by Xia Ruofei, and this caterpillar fungus obviously belonged to this category.
Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "This is also a product of our company. It didn't cost much. It's good that you like it!"
"Of course I like good things!" Ma Xiong laughed and said, "Especially my old bones. It's time for nourishment!"
Everyone couldn't help but laugh. In fact, Ma Xiong's body was still quite strong. Logically speaking, he had suffered such a serious cerebral hemorrhage. It was good that he survived, but there would definitely be sequelae. However, under Xia Ruofei's miraculous treatment, not only did there not be any sequelae, but his body was also very healthy. It was even better than before he was sick. Therefore, the Ma family's gratitude to Xia Ruofei was from the bottom of their hearts.
Ma Zhiming asked, "Xia Sheng, so … your company still has a lot of caterpillar fungus like this?"
Xia Ruofei knew what Ma Zhiming meant. He smiled faintly and said, "We do have some, but we have reached an agreement with Tong Ren Tang, so we basically don't sell them to the public."
"That's a pity. I wanted to have a chance to cooperate!" Ma Zhiming said regretfully.
Ma Xiong laughed heartily and said, "Zhiming, money is endless! Xia Sheng has a lot of good things! He also has his own partners! "
Ma Xiong knew that Tong Ren Tang still had a unique advantage in the sales of expensive Chinese medicinal herbs like caterpillar fungus. Although Hengfeng Group was involved in many fields, Tong Ren Tang was still stronger than them in the Chinese medicine industry.
Now that the channel was king, Xia Ruofei choosing Tong Ren Tang as a partner was reasonable and unobjectionable.
Feng Jing brought the tea, and Xia Ruofei invited everyone to drink. They sat and chatted for a while. Xia Ruofei saw that Ma Xiong was a little absent-minded and knew that he was still worried about the truffle. He couldn't help but laugh in his heart.
Xia Ruofei stood up, put Huanhuan down, and said, "Mr. Ma, I'd better take out the truffles first! Otherwise, you won't be in the mood to drink tea … "
Ma Xiong couldn't help but blush. He smiled and said, "Hehe, after seeing the data you sent over, I've been looking forward to this batch of truffles …"
Xia Ruofei walked over to open the freezer and took out all three plastic boxes.
Ma Zhiming also came over to help. The two of them carried the three boxes to the living room and placed them on the coffee table.
Xia Ruofei opened all three plastic boxes in one breath.
The truffles were buried in the rice, so they couldn't be seen from the outside.
However, Xia Ruofei had put them in personally, so he was naturally quite familiar with them. He reached into one of the boxes without hesitation and pulled out a huge white truffle from the rice.
The truffle was the size of a basketball, and it was heavy in his hand. It looked like a large piece of ginger, but it also looked a little like a sweet potato.
However, it was this large piece of "sweet potato" that seemed to have infinite magical power. It immediately caught the eyes of the Ma family.
"This … this … this is too big …" Ma Xiong's face was full of shock. He muttered to himself, "This is the finale of tomorrow's auction?"
Xia Ruofei smiled and nodded. "Yes, 2.73 kilograms!"
The living room quieted down. Ma Xiong, Ma Zhiming, and the others' breathing became a little heavy.
After a long time, Ma Xiong smiled bitterly and said, "I shouldn't have come … I saw such a good piece of white truffle, but I had to send it to the auction. Xia Sheng, do you know how cruel this is for a veteran truffle glutton?"
Tian Huixin and Feng Jing couldn't help but chuckle.
Old children, old children, people slowly returned to their original selves. Ma Xiong's expression at the moment was really like a child who had seen his favorite toy.
Tian Huixin knew how much her father-in-law liked truffles, so she couldn't help but say, "How about … we discuss it with Ruofei …"
"No!" Ma Xiong said flatly. "The auction is more important. Moreover, the promotional video was released a few days ago. How could this finale be missing?"
Ma Xiong was still rational. He knew what was more important.
He knew that this giant white truffle could not be bought by Xia Ruofei in private. He couldn't even bid at the auction.
There was no such thing as an airtight wall in the world.
This was an auction hosted by Hengfeng Group. If he bid or entrusted someone else to bid, it would eventually be exposed by the pervasive Hong Kong media. He would definitely be accused of deliberately raising the price.
When that time came, a good thing would become a bad thing.
Xia Ruofei couldn't help but laugh. "Mr. Ma, don't worry! I already knew that you loved truffles. How could I not prepare? "
"Oh?" Ma Xiong's eyes couldn't help but light up. He looked at Xia Ruofei expectantly and asked, "Xia Sheng, you mean …"
Xia Ruofei smiled and didn't speak. He directly took out a piece of white truffle from the plastic container on the far right that wasn't full.
This white truffle was about the same size as the one just taken out. It also exuded a rich and special smell. For Ma Xiong, this smell was a symbol of extreme deliciousness.
When the two truffles were placed together, the visual impact was even stronger.
