1932 Useless
Yuan Zhou first went upstairs and changed into a set of slightly formal clothes. It was the Han Chinese clothing. Strictly speaking, Yuan Zhou wasn’t a fan of Han Chinese clothing.
He just simply liked the Han Chinese clothing. He just felt that it would look more formal in a formal setting. Today was the day of the purchase of Red Diamond and the signing of the contract.
At 3:50 am, a series of irregular footsteps came from outside. As soon as Yuan Zhou heard that, he knew that someone had probably arrived.
Yuan Zhou came to the door to welcome them and saw a group of people walking towards them. Yuan Zhou knew Alma who was leading the group. The other person was a short and chubby old man with a fairly big belly. Behind him was a tall and thin, fair-skinned young man. These were the main characters.
There was also a secondary character, a refined middle-aged man with black-rimmed glasses, who was walking with Alma. He should be an appraiser or something of the sort. Finally, there were two tall and burly men with strong muscles who were dressed in suits that were bulging. They were first-class bodyguards. The value of red diamonds was too high and they needed protection.
“Head chef Yuan, I miss the taste of the food you cook so much. This is Mr. Dewell Modi.” Alma took two quick steps forward and went up to Yuan Zhou. Then, he started to make an introduction.
“Hello, Mr. Alma.” Yuan Zhou nodded slightly at Alma,”head chef Dewell, welcome to Chengdu. Thank you very much for your arrival.”
“Head chef Yuan, I’ve heard your name many times in India. It’s a pleasure to meet you.” When Dewell saw Yuan Zhou, he still sighed with emotion about Yuan Zhou’s young age.
He didn’t look even 35!
“Thank you. Head chef Dewell, please come in.” Yuan Zhou turned around and led the group of people into the restaurant.
Yuan Zhou arranged the place of the transaction to be in the small courtyard, which was both private and open and very suitable.
The best water was ready for the guests.
Ever since Allen met his idol, he had been very excited. However, Yuan Zhou was still exchanging conventional greetings with his father and thus didn’t interrupt him. Even when he sat down, he still shook his legs from time to time. He couldn’t be too excited.
After Dewell and Yuan Zhou finished their greetings, he was introduced.
“Head chef Yuan, this is my son, Alan Modi. He admires your culinary skills very much, so he followed you here this time. I hope head chef Yuan doesn’t mind.” Dewell pointed at Allan.
Allen, who had been trying to calm himself down and suppress his excitement, immediately stood up straight and bowed to Yuan Zhou when he heard that,””Hello, head chef Yuan. I’m Allen Modi. I’m very happy to meet you.”
Seeing his son like that, Dore Modi felt that he was too useless.
“Hello, head chef Allen.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head at Allen.
Yuan Zhou indicated that he was already accustomed to such fan-like meetings and thus remained calm on the surface.
“Since both sides already know each other, do the two of you have anything to add?” Seeing that the small talk was about done, Alma immediately spoke up.
“No,” Yuan Zhou shook his head.
“I don’t have any, either.” Dewell nodded.
“Then we’ll officially start the trade,” said Alma.
Alma and the others were very professional in such matters. The bodyguard behind her took out a small box that was about the size of a music box.
“Pa da”
The box was opened, and there was an even smaller velvet box inside. This music box was custom-made, and it was very inconspicuous.
It was different from what was shown on TV, where valuable things were kept in black leather suitcases. Thinking about it, it made sense. With this kind of suitcase, the thief who didn’t notice you at first would notice you.
Dewell reached out and opened the small velvet box personally, revealing the red diamond inside. It was the first time Yuan Zhou saw a Red Diamond with his own eyes.
A very small red Diamond was lying on the White velvet, and the color was even more dazzling and dazzling.
This diamond was very special. Its shape was a bit like a Pagoda. The top was pointed, and the bottom was more stable. The color went from light to dark. It was not very obvious, but it was very charming.
Yuan Zhou believed that the red diamond was so charming mainly because it was expensive.
Bauer, take a closer look.” Alma said to the gentle-looking middle-aged man sitting beside her.
Bauer, the middle-aged man, was one of the chief appraisers of the auction house. He paid special attention to the fact that the first appraiser of a large auction house could not be a single person. Bauer was in charge of appraising gemstones.
After putting on white gloves, Bauer took out professional tools and began to do a preliminary appraisal of the gemstone. In fact, Alma had already appraised it once before.
During the transaction, he would appraise it in front of both parties so that they could rest assured.
The transaction of such expensive gemstones was quite complicated. With the assistance of Alma, a lot of trouble was saved. This was the advantage of having a third party. A lot of information and documents were prepared by Alma. Therefore, both Dewell and Yuan Zhou had an easier time.
“Thank you very much for giving up your treasure, head chef Dewell.” Yuan Zhou expressed his gratitude.
“It’s nothing. I have other colored diamonds in my collection. If head chef Yuan is interested, you can come to my private museum to take a look.” Dewell said.
A private museum? When Yuan Zhou heard that, he seemed to have opened the door to a new world.
“I’m looking forward to tomorrow’s cooking exchange. As for the specific details, do you need my cooperation?” “I brought a lot of ingredients,” Dewell said.
Although the red diamond was rare, it was only worth collecting for Dewell. In front of turtle, it was more important to show his father’s dignity.
“I’ve also prepared the ingredients, so we can use them together. Let’s set the time at three in the afternoon tomorrow. What do you think, head chef Dewell?” Yuan Zhou said.
“No problem, see you then.”
Dewell wasn’t young anymore. After a long flight, he didn’t rest. He only tidied up a little before rushing over to trade. His body was a little overwhelmed, and he planned to leave after the trade.
“I’m looking forward to it,” Yuan Zhou said.
After sending Dewell and the others out, Yuan Zhou went upstairs to change his clothes and intended to start preparing the ingredients for dinner.
Alma didn’t leave at all. He started to line up outside, planning to eat the food he yearned for. This time, he had found many dishes and planned to try them one by one to find his favorite.
As for Allen, he simply left his father to the bodyguards and waited in line outside master chef Restaurant. It wasn’t easy for him to come here, so he would be letting himself down if he didn’t eat his idol’s cooking.
Dewell didn’t want to talk right now. He wanted to rest and have a good sleep.
“Head chef Yuan’s cooking skills are really the best in Asia.” Alma sighed.
“Mr. Alma, you’re wrong. Head chef Yuan is the number one chef in the world,” said Allen immediately.
“Mm, that’s true.” Alma corrected herself.
The two Yuan braggers conversed.
“Mr. Alma, do you need to be so exaggerated?” Bauer, who was in the same industry as them, could not understand.
After having a meal with Alma, Bauer understood.
With something to look forward to, time passed even faster. After the dinner, Yuan Zhou dealt with the business in the pub as usual and then began to practice India Food. He was very much looking forward to the exchange with Dewell tomorrow.
During the winter days in Chengdu, it had been drizzling. However, when Yuan Zhou got up in the morning, he found the sky was clear and there were traces of golden sunlight shining through the clouds.
