Chapter 32: Trading Tom! King of Cheese!
This made Jiang Bai even more certain of Tom's extraordinary nature! At the same time, he also noticed that Tom's favorability towards him instantly reached 50%! Just one fish made the favorability reach half, which made Jiang Bai think about inviting Tom to his World.
If Tom came to this World, it would definitely be a great help to him! But he had to get the favorability to 100% first!
After finishing the fish, Tom looked at Jiang Bai on the screen with teary eyes, clearly wanting more. Not far from him, by a hole in the wall.
Jerry watched Tom inexplicably put on a pitiful expression, not knowing what he was doing, but seeing the fish bones nearby made him feel that it was not simple, so he did not provoke Tom directly. He quietly hid in the hole, observing the situation.
"Alright, here's another piece of cheese for you. If you still want to eat fish, then you have to help me make something! How about it?"
Looking at the pitiful Tom, Jiang Bai took out a piece of cheese from the System Space and sent it to Tom through the trading system. Then, he took the opportunity to propose his idea, which was to have Tom help him make things in exchange for food!
The fish Jiang Bai gave him earlier was a valuable sea fish; just that one piece cost tens of thousands of U.S. dollars.
Its taste was incomparable to ordinary grass carp or other sea fish.
Hearing that there was cheese to eat, Tom nodded repeatedly and immediately agreed to Jiang Bai's words. The next second, a yellow piece of cheese appeared in front of him. Tom picked it up without hesitation and threw it into his mouth.
This made Jerry, who was by the hole not far away, stare in astonishment—cheese appearing out of thin air! Because only Tom could see the System's screen, Jerry could only see Tom putting on a pitiful expression, and then a piece of cheese suddenly appearing in front of him.
"Okay, Tom, you help me make some things that can strengthen the body! I'll give you three of the fish you just ate, how about it?"
After Tom finished the cheese, Jiang Bai stated his condition to Tom, which was to have Tom help him research and create things that could strengthen the body. He believed Tom could completely do it; as long as he wanted to, he could even create things out of thin air, though it would require more effort.
"Okay, deal! Then make it four! Contact me when you're done."
Upon hearing Jiang Bai's condition, Tom pretended to think and extended his right hand. Jiang Bai immediately understood Tom's intention; he didn't expect him to actually bargain! Since Tom only had four fingers, Jiang Bai also agreed to exchange with Tom for four fish.
Seeing Jiang Bai agree, Tom smiled and nodded repeatedly, then hung up the communication, very satisfied. The next second, his two feet started spinning, and he dashed out of the house, heading towards the warehouse behind, naturally to create things that could strengthen the body for Jiang Bai!
After Tom left, Jerry cautiously walked out of the hole and came to where Tom had been standing. He looked up at the ceiling pitifully, just like Tom, but after waiting for a while, he got nothing. It was nothing like getting a piece of cheese just moments ago.
Then Jerry angrily walked in the direction Tom had just left, intending to see what was going on and why Tom could get cheese while he couldn't!
After disconnecting from Tom, Jiang Bai showed a satisfied smile and took out his phone to order expensive seafood from various seafood suppliers, as well as a lot of high-quality cheese!
He also ordered many goat cheeses known as the King of Cheese! Parmigiano-Reggiano is a traditional hard cheese, one of the most famous cheeses in Italy, originating from the Enzo region in northern Italy. This cheese is made from goat's milk and has a rich aroma and a hard texture. The history of Parmigiano-Reggiano production can be traced back to the Middle Ages, when it was originally made to preserve milk for a long time. At that time, this cheese was called "Grana" or "Grana Padano."
In the 14th century, the production of this cheese began in the cities of Reggio Emilia and Parma, and modern production methods began to emerge. In the 18th century, the production technology of this cheese was further improved, and the quality and taste of the cheese were also enhanced. Since then, the production method of Parmigiano-Reggiano has been followed to this day.
The production method of Parmigiano-Reggiano is very strict. First, fresh cream and milk fat must be used to make the cheese, and traditional production processes must be followed. A technique called "stretching" is required during the production process, which can make the cheese fibers finer. Parmigiano-Reggiano needs to be aged for at least 12 months, and some cheeses even need to be aged for more than 3 years to achieve the best taste and texture.
Parmigiano-Reggiano was initially widely used in sauces and pasta in Italian cuisine, and today it has become a favorite of food lovers around the World. This cheese has a rich taste with a subtle nutty flavor and can be eaten alone or used in various dishes.
In addition, Parmigiano-Reggiano also has many health benefits, such as being rich in calcium, protein, and vitamins. In short, Parmigiano-Reggiano is a very special cheese that represents the food culture and history of Italy.
...
As Tony Stark announced his identity as Iron Man, newspapers began to report it widely, and Stark Industries' stock in the stock market also began to rise rapidly, soon breaking new highs and reaching a terrifying price, which had already far exceeded the period when Stark Industries manufactured weapons.
Even Wall Street found it incredible. It should be known that after Tony Stark's return, many Wall Street elites, in order to make a fortune, began to frantically buy Stark Industries' stock! But after Tony Stark announced the closure of the weapon manufacturing department.
Stark Industries' stock in the stock market plummeted instantly, also causing many Wall Street elites to directly declare bankruptcy. During this period, quite a few people jumped from buildings on Wall Street! And the stocks and investments they had previously bought were all harvested by Jiang Bai, who made a huge profit.
Even many financial groups and families in America were harmed by Tony Stark's move, but this amount of money was insignificant to them. When they prepared to invest and buy, they had already prepared for a complete loss; the stock market is inherently like this.
From the emergence of the stock market to the present, countless people have lost their fortunes because of it, and there have been even more who jumped from buildings due to failed investments. Ordinary people who enter the stock market to invest and buy are generally treated as leeks to be harvested by those capitalist financial groups. In the stock market, even Stark Industries is not considered a big player.
In front of true billionaires, Stark Industries doesn't even rank. There are many more people richer than Tony Stark: the oil industry, new energy industry, mobile phone industry, etc. These industries have created many billionaires, not to mention the financial families that have existed since World War I, whose financial power can directly crush Stark Industries!
