Chapter 2308 Are You Used to Eating It?

Bauman smiled and said, "Mr. Liu came to our restaurant for the first time yesterday and asked for a VIP seat. You know, this is not in line with our rules, but he was generous and directly applied for a membership card worth 100,000 euros, so..."

One hundred thousand euros?

Shulman's eyelids twitched, and he became more certain that Liu Fusheng was a corrupt bureaucrat.

However, he liked dealing with such people because he knew that bureaucrats in Eastern countries often held real power and could sell anything as long as they could make money.

Shulman groaned and said, "Chef Hans is becoming more and more unscrupulous. He can make any rich person his VIP by spending some money, and even help him make special dishes!"

"Doesn't he have any dignity as a chef at a star-rated restaurant? If he continues like this, I'm afraid your Tristan Restaurant won't be able to maintain its star-rated reputation."

Bauman said politely: "Mr. Shulman, I can't comment on the restaurant management. I just think that since we want to make money from our customers, we must make them satisfied with our work, such as providing them with special dishes. This is also reasonable."

Shulman curled his lips and said, "It's okay for a normal restaurant to do this, but a Michelin-starred restaurant has no shortage of customers. You are breaking the rules by doing this. It's materialism and you value money too much... Of course, your chef Hans has been promoting some bullshit Munich specialties, which has already violated the unspoken rules of Michelin restaurants!"

Bauman helped him walk forward respectfully, but did not say another word. It was obvious that he disagreed with Shulman's statement.

The two men walked up to Liu Fusheng's side.

Liu Fusheng shook hands with Shulman, who showed an arrogant attitude of wanting to be a whore and also to be a saint.

Liu Fusheng smiled and told Bauman: "Please give Mr. Shulman a glass of the same cocktail."

Shulman waved his hand in denial.

Liu Fusheng advised: "This cocktail does not contain alcohol, and the secret recipe is very unique. As you know, our country likes to drink tea, and this cocktail has added the element of tea, with a strong pastoral flavor. You must try it. It has a completely different taste from the German cocktail."

Shulman thought about it and decided that since it was not Munich-style food made by Hans, it seemed okay to have a drink. After all, he came here to make a "big deal".

Bauman turned and left.

Shulman said, "Mr. Liu, I heard that you are very interested in Siemens' communication technology and production lines?"

Liu Fusheng said: "Yes, what I am most concerned about is the advanced communication technology and equipment production lines you have demonstrated. I want to understand the cyclicality of their iterations."

Schulman smiled and said, "The iteration of electronic products usually takes three to five years. You are here at Siemens for business negotiations on behalf of your government, so we will naturally do our best to receive you. What we are showing you are the most advanced technologies and products in the world today."

Liu Fusheng shook his head and said, "Mr. Shulman, there are no outsiders here, so we don't need to talk about politeness."

"As far as I know, the products and production lines you showed are all antiques from more than a decade ago, right? They should have been eliminated at the end of the last century. Do you really think that I am so stupid that I don't know what a world-class product is?"

As soon as these words came out, Shulman's face suddenly turned red.

He took a deep breath and said, "Mr. Liu, what do you mean? If you don't believe me, then there's no need for us to continue this meal."

Having said that, Shulman stood up and was about to leave.

Liu Fusheng said softly: "You misunderstood my meaning. I was reminding you that I know the details of those products, but many people in our country, as well as my leaders and subordinates, do not know their quality."

Shulman was a little surprised: "What do you mean?"

Liu Fusheng said: "As long as I tell my leaders and subordinates that they are the world's top new products, then they are also the best. No one in our delegation can question my decision."

Shulman sneered in his heart. Sure enough, this hateful bureaucrat wanted to talk to him about some shameful things. "Mr. Liu, I don't like beating around the bush. Just tell me what you want. If it's worthwhile, I will try my best to satisfy you."

Liu Fusheng smiled and said, "Businessmen in our country always talk about business after they have finished their meals. Now I have ordered a table of delicious dishes. Let's taste them first, chat while eating, and then talk about business. How about that?"

Shulman was not in the mood to have dinner with Liu Fusheng, but given the circumstances, it was not convenient for him to refuse.

"Well, since Mr. Liu has this habit, I naturally have to respect it. After all, we are likely to become each other's most important partners."

Liu Fusheng nodded and said, "That's right."

Soon, the dishes were served one after another.

Shulman looked at these delicious foods on the red plates with a very strange expression on his face, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

Liu Fusheng said: "I specifically asked the restaurant to prepare these dishes yesterday. I don't have any other hobbies but I like food. This table of dishes is really expensive."

Shulman frowned slightly and looked at the waiter Bowman who was serving the dishes.

Baumann said: "At first, our chef Hans didn't want to cook this style of dishes, but Mr. Liu was very sincere and insisted again and again, so chef Hans agreed to cook these special dishes for him."

Shulman took a deep breath and became even more disdainful of Hans, because he knew that the so-called sincerity must have been paid for.

Sure enough, Liu Fusheng laughed out loud: "You are good at talking. I am really sincere. I added a service fee of 10,000 euros to each dish. Only then was Chef Hans moved and made these for me personally. These delicacies he doesn't usually make."

Shulman's eyelids twitched. A service fee of 10,000 euros for each dish. Is this even human language?

The old man was not short of money and had come into contact with many European nobles and wealthy people. However, almost no noble would be so extravagant.

I'm afraid only country bumpkins and nouveau riche would waste hundreds of thousands of euros on a meal?

At this moment, Liu Fusheng's behavior perfectly matched the image of a local tyrant in Shulman's mind.

While Shulman accepted this stereotype, he also dispelled his guard against Liu Fusheng.

Shulman raised his glass and said with a smile, "Mr. Liu, you are so generous. I am honored to have the opportunity to taste these authentic oriental delicacies."

After saying that, he picked up the knife and fork and started eating slowly.

After finishing the first course, the waiter immediately removed the plate and replaced it with another one.

Liu Fusheng asked: "Mr. Shulman, are you still used to it?"
