Wu You didn't keep everyone waiting and immediately gestured for them to start eating.
The delicate fish meat melts in your mouth, and the light and moderate seasonings, combined with the fresh aroma of the fish, tantalize everyone's taste buds.
The taste of fish maw is even more incompatible; putting it in your mouth is like chewing on chewy, solidified fat, making you reluctant to swallow it.
If this plate of fish were in the anime "Cooking Master Boy," it would probably glow and have its own background music, Wu You couldn't help but think.
The fish soup was also incredibly delicious.
The meal lasted from 12:00 to 1:30, with the last two dishes being the highlight.
Such a delicious dish shouldn't remain unknown. Wu You searched for yellow croaker on his phone and discovered that each kilogram of fish meat was worth tens of thousands of yuan.
So those two dishes must have cost at least 70,000 to 80,000 yuan.
What Wu You didn't know was that almost all the essence of a 30-kilogram yellow croaker was in those two dishes.
After settling the bill, everyone came out of the private room one after another.
Yang Dawei was already waiting outside the private room. He wisely refrained from entering the room to visit Wu You and the others while they were eating.
Upon seeing Yang Dawei, who had a prosperous appearance and a slightly protruding belly, Wu You knew that this was the real person.
"Hello Mr. Wu, let me introduce myself. I am Yang Dawei, the sole general manager of Sofia Hotel."
Huang Dawei enthusiastically stepped forward and extended his right hand to Wu You, having just seen Wu You's name on the bill.
Wu You also extended his hand and shook hands with Yang Dawei.
"Hello, Mr. Yang, those two dishes tasted quite good."
"Haha, I'm glad Mr. Wu likes it. Here's my business card." Yang Dawei handed over a business card with a blue border.
Wu You took it and handed over a special business card that he had just printed not long ago.
Yang Dawei solemnly accepted the business card: "Then I won't disturb Mr. Wu and his friends any longer. The front desk customer service manager will give each of you a Sofia Hotel Platinum Card later, which will give you a 40% discount on food and accommodation."
After giving a polite nod to Wu You and his group, Yang Dawei turned and left without mentioning anything else.
Wu You watched Yang Dawei's retreating figure.
Interesting, another smart person.
Yang Dawei might have needed something from him, or he might genuinely just want to send him two plates of food as a gesture of goodwill and to make friends. But whether it was genuine or just an act, the fact that he could put on such a show without offending anyone is truly commendable.
As Wang Hui and Wan Qianqian left the hotel, it felt like a dream.
While eating, Wan Qianqian took photos and posted them on her WeChat Moments, which garnered a lot of likes. The last two dishes were just too delicious.
So she searched for the dish names online and secretly told Wang Hui the results. In their understanding, this one meal would cost them their entire year's salary. (In reality, it was far more than that.)
The two planned to visit Kuncheng first, while Wu You wanted to go to Ailao Mountain, so they said goodbye and left.
If nothing else goes wrong, this kind of life is probably out of reach for Wang Hui.
...
Yang Dawei walked briskly to his office and then closed the door.
He pulled out the business card that Wu You had given him from his pocket.
The material appears to be just ordinary hard paper, with a slightly light ink color, but it has a special grassy scent that invigorates the senses.
There were no grand titles, just a few simple words.
The sign reads: "Wu You, Wanshoushanzhuang Biotechnology Company," followed by a phone number.
The business card was an ordinary one that Wu You had recently printed, but it had been coated with a solution of rejuvenating ointment that had been diluted many times and had extremely strong adhesion after drying.
There weren't many of these business cards; Wu You only had a few dozen in his possession.
...
The process of buying rubies in Ailao Mountain went more smoothly than Wu You had imagined.
Rubies are not diamonds, after all; even the best quality rubies are only around one carat.
Of course, larger gemstones do command a higher price, but they're not as terrifying as diamonds, although this Mother of Rubies would certainly fetch more money at auction.
However, mine owner Liu Yuzhu was clearly in a financial crisis and wanted to cash out quickly.
Nothing else unexpected happened, nor was there any business conflict that Wu You had imagined; it was simply a matter of the highest bidder winning.
Among the businessmen who went to negotiate, Wu You ultimately won the deal for US$25 million.
As the owner of a high-quality ruby mine, Liu Yuzhu was someone Wu You was eager to get to know.
With this business opportunity as a foundation, the two parties quickly negotiated a cooperation agreement to become long-term supply and receiving partners.
The required quality of the rubies must be no lower than Grade 2, and the purchase price will be determined according to market conditions.
The reason for this request was that Wu You had pretended to admire the various grades of ruby rough stones that Liu Yuzhu had brought out in the small building at Liu Yuzhu's mine.
Systematic extraction prompts can only be found on rough stones of grade two or one.
However, Wu You could not directly absorb it in front of others.
In addition to the Mother of Rubies, he bought 50 rough rubies, each about one carat, of first- and second-quality rubies.
Those one-carat rough stones are much cheaper because they are "factory wholesale," with an average price of less than 6,000 yuan per stone.
After the initial cooperation agreement was reached, Wu You said he would appoint a lawyer to draft a detailed written agreement and left his business card.
The unique business card, which smelled of grass but didn't look effeminate, made Liu Yuzhu study it quite a bit.
However, he later realized the value of such a business card.
After spending the night there.
Wang Dong and two other new employees were left behind to handle the aftermath, while Wu You, Xiang Biao, and the remaining two employees flew back to Qiantang.
...
On the plane back to Qiantang, Wu You was quite unhappy.
A 1-carat first-grade ruby provides 1 point of alchemical energy, while a 1-carat second-grade ruby provides 0.5 points.
It's nothing.
However, the 32.5-carat Mother of Rubies, a treasure acquired at a great price, only provided a mere 32.5 points of alchemical energy.
Not even a tiny bit more.
Wu You felt like he'd been utterly screwed over. 25 million US dollars could have been exchanged for nearly 30,000 alchemical energy points if he had just converted them into ordinary-quality small rubies.
However, he learned from his mistakes and now understands that the system's evaluation criteria have absolutely nothing to do with any human artistic or aesthetic enhancements.
In the airport restroom, he absorbed all the rough rubies, only letting the sound of the toilet flush away the residue that had turned into a red powder.
Wu You kept some of the powder in a small box, intending to test it when he got back to figure out what he had absorbed.
I gained a total of 107.5 alchemical energy points this time. I don't know if I can use these 0.5 points.
The current total alchemical energy is 133.5 points, which is enough to upgrade the system to level three.
However, Wu You dared not recklessly perform alchemy to upgrade the system.
Based on previous experience, level one is a beginner's quest, level two is an advanced quest, and level three will likely have a mandatory quest.
We must be absolutely certain before we enter the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain again, even if it means risking our lives, and deal with that damned brown bear.
We'll settle the score with them sooner or later.
