Chapter 389 WPG0388: Is there delicious food in Suzhou? The price difference between domestic and foreign countries is a bit big!
It’s near noon on the fifth day of National Day.
The Gulfstream G650ER private business jet landed at Wuxi Airport, and Qin Sheng had already prepared a reception vehicle for An Wuyang in advance.
On the way to Suzhou, everyone was discussing what to eat for lunch.
Xia Yuqing asked curiously, "Brother Wuyou, is there such an outrageous landmark delicacy as Yuhang Fish in Vinegar in Suzhou?"
When they traveled to Yuhang before, they tasted the famous Yuhang vinegar fish.
Then he ate without making a sound!
Yuhang vinegar fish, right?
Imperial Douzhi’s level of landmark food!
Facing Xia Yuqing's inquiry, An Wuyang couldn't help but smile. He responded, "Don't worry, Gusu is known as a food desert, and there are no weird landmark delicacies."
Suzhou's geographical label is quite novel. First, it has no airport, and then it is called a food desert.
"Food desert?" Xia Yuqing wondered, "Doesn't Gusu have its own delicious food?"
An Wuyang thought for a while, but he really couldn't think of the delicious food in Gusu.
So, An Wuyang looked at the local snake Wenxin, "Gusu people, can you tell me what delicious food you have in Gusu?"
Faced with the sudden roll call, Wen Xin fell into silence.
She thought about it for a while and finally responded, "Does Yangchun noodles count?"
"How about pan-fried buns?" Wen Xin added.
Faced with the warm words, the other four people fell silent, especially An Wuyang and Xia Yuqing, both of whom were from Shengqing.
"I remembered, we still have a food representative in Gusu!" Wen Xin suddenly said with confidence.
"Our Gusu meat dumplings!" Wen Wen said confidently.
"."
The other four were silent again.
Even though they came from Shengqing, which was very tolerant of food, An Wuyang and Xia Yuqing felt that the food in Gusu was a bit outrageous.
Lu Manman asked, "You Gusu like sweet food, are your meat glutinous rice balls sweet or salty?"
"Of course it's salty!" Wenxin responded.
That's not bad!
If the glutinous rice balls are stuffed with meat and are sweet, then are they definitely not some dark cuisine?
"And squirrel mandarin fish!" Wenxin thought of another famous Suzhou dish.
But the squirrel mandarin fish bar
There is actually no essential difference between this dish and Yuhang Vinegar Fish. Once it is not handled properly, it will taste fishy and tomato sauce.
That's right!
Ketchup flavor!
This is because quite a few restaurants that cook squirrel mandarin fish prefer to use commercial tomato sauce directly, thereby avoiding the troublesome cooking step.
However, once tomato sauce is used to cook squirrel mandarin fish, it means that the standard of this kind of restaurant is relatively average, and it also means that the fishy smell will most likely not be removed.
Therefore, An Wuyang did not comment on Squirrel Mandarin Fish.
However, with the mentality that everyone has come, everyone went to a so-called local restaurant under the leadership of Wen Wen, a local, to taste local specialties.
As for the final result
Of course, it is as silent as in Yuhang.
Since Gusu's food tends to be sweet, Xia Yuqing ate two pan-fried buns with crab roe and didn't use her chopsticks again.
Safe and sound is almost the same.
Lu Manman and Zong Chunyan took two more bites, but it was quite limited.
Among them, the squirrel mandarin fish that Wen warmly recommends is a hit because this so-called "local restaurant" uses tomato sauce to cook the squirrel mandarin fish.
Near the end of lunch, Xia Yuqing leaned into An Wuyan's ear and whispered, "Let's buy some seafood in the afternoon, and then have a seafood barbecue on the boat in the evening."
"Okay." An Wuyang shook Xia Yuqing's small hand with his right hand and responded affirmatively.
However, the purchase of seafood does not need to be handled by An Wuyao. You can just leave it to the boat chef here.
The cook on the Azimut 80FLY belonging to Qin Sheng was also a middle-aged woman. An Wuyang sent a message in the group and gave the corresponding instructions.
In the afternoon, An Wuyang led Xia Yuqing to see the classical gardens of the Humble Administrator's Garden, listen to the blessing bells of Hanshan Temple, and also go to a CityWalk in Suzhou City, which made Xia Yuqing appreciate this ancient city in Suzhou. Have an initial impression of the city.
Wenxin is a native of Suzhou. She has no interest in CityWalk in Suzhou City, but she acts as a tour guide.
It's almost dinner time.
Wen Wen volunteered to recommend, "Let's go to another restaurant in the evening. It's our time-honored restaurant in Suzhou."
Xia Yuqing was the first to refuse, "We have already tasted Gusu cuisine at noon, and we are going back to the ship for seafood barbecue in the evening."
Zong Chunyan immediately agreed, "I think seafood barbecue is more delicious!"
Lu Manman also supported, "Vote for seafood barbecue."
As for An Wuyang, he already expressed his support for Xia Yuqing without saying a word.
Wen Xin sighed and muttered, "Actually, we still have delicious food in Suzhou!"
However, no one answered.
After all, Suzhou is a food desert voted by many netizens, and its reputation is quite high.
Night falls.
Taihu Lake, near Sanshan Island Scenic Area.
The Azimut 80FLY yacht is anchored and a seafood barbecue is being prepared on the flybridge.
Xia Yuqing and An Wuyang looked at the lights of thousands of houses in the Xishan Scenic Area. Wenxin was answering a call from her family. She was going home for one night and would come back tomorrow morning.
After all, Wenxin’s home is in Suzhou, so you can’t just pass through the door without entering, right?
In fact, the real situation is that Wen Xin's mother asked her to go home for one night.
"Are we returning tomorrow?" Xia Yuqing asked An Wuyang.
An Wuyang answered affirmatively, "Well, according to the original plan, we will go straight down the Wusong River from the Wusong River to the Gusu River, and then back to the pier on the Bund."
This route, if the Azimut 80FLY is driven at full power, can actually be reached in only two or three hours.
But they were not going in a hurry, but preparing to enjoy the scenery along the river.
"If there are no accidents, we will arrive in Shanghai on the seventh day of National Day." An Wuyang added.
Xia Yuqing said in a relieved tone, "It's finally almost over!"
"Huh?" An Wuyang wondered, "Don't you think it's fun?"
"It's fun, but in just five days, my weight has increased by two pounds." Xia Yuqing said distressedly.
Lu Manman immediately answered, "I also gained three pounds!"
This little deer seemed to have had too many hard times in the past, so when she was traveling this time, when faced with various high-end ingredients and exquisite cooking, she couldn't help but eat more. As a result, her weight increased by one pound more than Xia Yuqing.
Zong Chunyan sighed, "I also gained more than two pounds."
Wen Xin responded with a hum, "Everyone has gained weight, but it doesn't matter. When we go back, we will go to the Blue Center to exercise. We can lose weight in a week at most."
At this point, Wen Wen added, "When we go to the Blue Center to exercise, we can not only lose weight, but also make money!"
An Wuyang smiled and said nothing.
They can indeed make money by going to Weilan Fitness Center, but will An Wuyan lose money?
All I can say is that this is a win-win situation!
Of course, there are no win-win situations in the financial system, but unfortunately there are no losers.
Wen Wen continued to add, "Mr. An, we originally planned to bear some expenses for this trip, but your trip is too high-end and we simply can't afford it."
"How about you deduct some of our salary at the Blue Center?" Wen Wen spoke openly about this topic about money.
That's how smart she is!
Make some things clear by putting sensitive issues out in the open.
An Wuyang waved his hand and responded, "No, not really."
Please...you...collect_6_9_书_吧 (六//九//书//吧)
"Even if only Qingqing and I go out together, the fuel cost of the yacht will not be less, and the other expenses will also be the same. The three of you are like pendants, basically you don't have to spend anything." An Wuyang teased.
Wenxin immediately hit the snake and followed the response on the stick, "Then I want to be the pendant on Mr. An's thigh, and beg Mr. An to take me flying!"
An Wuyang teased, "Then where do you want to fly?"
Wenxin replied without thinking, "I want to fly to the sky!"
"Hey!" An Wuyang joked, "Do you want to go to heaven and become a fairy?"
Wen Xin admitted with certainty, "If I could be a fairy, of course I would be a fairy!"
In the warm and safe banter, everyone laughed and ate seafood barbecue.
It was approaching eight o'clock in the evening.
Qin Sheng sent a message to An Wuyang.
‘Qin Sheng: Damn it, Mr. An, look at Hermès’ official website. Isn’t this too cruel? ’
‘An Wuyang: Let me take a look first. ’
An Wuyang did not log in to Hermès' official website, but directly checked it in the WeChat applet.
On the homepage of the Hermès mini program, advertisements for tripod-shaped copper lamps and bitter orange scented candles have been released, and the prices have also been released.
Among them, the price of the tripod-shaped copper running lamp is 66,666 yuan, and the overseas selling price is also marked as 16,666 US dollars.
Referring to the current exchange rate of 1 US dollar equal to 6.86 Xia Guoyuan, the overseas selling price is converted to more than 114,328 Xia Guoyuan, which is almost twice the price.
A little cruel!
An Wuyang looked at the detailed introduction of the tripod-shaped copper lamp.
Hermès strictly abided by the agreement and clearly introduced the origin and allusion of the tripod-shaped copper running lantern, clearly stating that it was a cultural relic from the Warring States period of the Xia Kingdom more than 2,000 years ago.
However, Hermès modernized around the tripod-shaped copper running lamp.
For example, a temperature detector is installed on the lamp cover to detect whether the bitter orange scented candle is burning.
At the same time, there is an angular velocity sensor on the lamp cover, which is to work with the temperature detector.
When the temperature detector determines that the tripod-shaped copper running lamp is in working condition and the bitter orange scented candle has been lit, it will communicate with the angular velocity sensor to work together.
When the angular velocity sensor detects some abnormal displacement of the lamp cover, such as when the lamp cover falls due to abnormal circumstances, or when the entire tripod-shaped copper row lamp falls over as a whole, the next operation will be activated.
The next step is to activate the compressed carbon dioxide pellets, thus ensuring that the carbon dioxide gas directly extinguishes the bitter orange scented candle.
According to the instructions displayed in the Hermès applet, Hermès has undergone 200,000 tests, and the final result is that 100% of the burning bitter orange scented candles were extinguished.
An Wuyang checked this information, and he suddenly felt that the price of 66666 Xia Guoyuan was not too expensive, right?
An Wuyang also checked out Hermès’s introduction to bitter orange scented candles.
The burning time of each bitter orange scented candle produced by Wugengtian Pharmaceutical Group is approximately 12 to 12.5 hours.
But Hermès’ in-depth customization divided a whole bitter orange scented candle into six parts to make a set.
It includes two of the 1-hour version, the 2-hour version, and the 3-hour version. The total burning time is also about 12 hours.
The price of bitter orange scented candles is also announced in the Hermès mini program.
A set of six bitter orange scented candles with different burning times costs 168,888 Xia Guoyuan in Xia Guo.
This price.
Is it too expensive?
Because the buyout price of Hermès from Wu Gengtian is US$9,999 per bottle, the calculation based on the exchange rate of 6.86 is 68593.14 Xia Guoyuan.
Is Hermès going to make a gross profit of 100,000 yuan?
I have to say, Hermès is quite ruthless!
An Wuyang also checked the overseas price of the bitter orange scented candle set announced by Hermès, and found it to be as high as US$38,888.
This price is converted into Xia Guoyuan's list price, which is more than 266,771 Xia Guoyuan, which is almost 100,000 yuan more expensive than the domestic selling price.
An Wuyang raised his eyebrows secretly, was the overseas price too high?
Hermès is not a company owned by Xia Guo, so why does it actually set Xia Guo’s prices lower than overseas prices?
But An Wuyang soon knew the reason.
Because Hermès also explains the price in the mini program.
The reason why the overseas price far exceeds the price in Xia Kingdom is simple, because the supplier of bitter orange scented candles is Wugengtian Pharmaceutical Group, and there is no import tariff when they are sold within Xia Kingdom.
But if Hermès sells the corresponding products to Bald Eagle, Europa, or other countries, it will need to pay corresponding duties, consumption taxes, and other taxes.
So the price has naturally increased a lot.
An Wuyang looked at the introduction of the Hermès WeChat applet, and he thought, Hermès intends to abide by laws and regulations, clear customs and pay taxes honestly
But it seems that the five major dealers on Wu Geng Tian are not prepared to do this, right?
In addition, An Wuyang had previously promised to distribute 500 bitter orange scented candles to Nova Pharma. Will Nova Pharma choose regular channels or special channels to get Europa back?
The overseas sales situation of Wugengtian Pharmaceutical Group’s products is quite confusing!
This is because Wugengtian Pharmaceutical Group deliberately indulged.
Wugengtian Pharmaceutical Group has not clearly established an overseas sales mechanism at all, and Wugengtian's delivery mechanism has also chosen the "disposal after leaving the factory" plan.
This means that the fifth watch has already shied away the responsibility!
After all, Wugengtian's products were taken away by dealers as soon as they left Wugengtian's factory. Who knows where these dealers took the products?
Take Shuxinwan as an example, and then take Europa's Grand Medicine as an example.
Newman Miller, the Xia Guotong representative of Grand Pharmaceutical, is a standard Xia Guotong. When the second batch of Shuxin Pills was distributed on the fifth day of the week, Grand Pharmaceutical received a quota of 250,000 bottles.
After receiving the quota, Newman Miller directly escorted the truck to the secondary packaging plant for transformation.
Whether it is the outer packaging or the original medicine bottle, etc., everything has been replaced with a version specially designed for Grand Medicine, and even the name of Shuxin Pill has been changed.
Then the ‘brand new product’ will be brought back to Europa for sale.
In this way, expensive tariffs and other tax issues can be circumvented without anyone noticing.
As for the risks?
This question is so funny!
Since they all chose the smuggling option, do they think there is no risk?
