According to Cheng Huayao's introduction, the trade fair was more grand, in addition to the domestic parties, there are even foreign bonsai lovers.

"As far as I know, there is an old pine bonsai tree that is more than 500 years old and participates in the fair. Someone once bid 8 million for that pot of old pine, but it was not sold. At this fair, its price will definitely rise. Cheng Huayao told Zhang Fan.

The price of that pot of old pine was already three years ago. Today, three years later, Cheng Huayao will not be surprised if it has soared to more than 10 million.

He had seen the pot of old pine, more than 500 years old, almost witnessed the rise and fall of a dynasty, but it was less than half a meter high, growing lush and vigorous.

So Honka, a few million is not an incredible price. After all, a one- or two-year-old orchid has the potential to reach a price of several millions.

Millions of numbers are astronomical in the eyes of most people, but in the eyes of others, they are just a string of numbers that make no sense.

In order to create a sensational effect, Cheng Huayao asked Zhang Fan to put Tianyi Lotus in a large cardboard box, not to show up first, and to surprise everyone.

Of course, whether it was surprise or joy is hard to say now.

When the two of them came to the scene, it was already full of people, and all kinds of strange potted plants were put out. There are official and private ones.

The most expensive pot of podocarpus is priced at 10 million, and countless people are watching and taking pictures.

The podocarpus tree is verdant and elegant, ancient and vigorous, the leaf color is bright green in all seasons, and there is a sense of vigor and nobility. It is cultivated as an ornamental tree in the garden, and there are very few wild trees.

If it is attached to the mountain stone, it is made into the posture of eagle claw bouldering, which is more quaint and chic. The podocarpus and bamboo and stone group scenery are extremely elegant. The jungle-style podocarpus bonsai, with grazing scenery, can give people a wild enjoyment.

If cultivated properly, after decades or even a hundred years of eternal glory, it will become an excellent podocarpus bonsai, just like the one that everyone is watching.

The private ones have no price tag, but they are no worse than the official recommendations, and there are also tens of millions, millions of works.

Seeing this, Zhang Fan had to sigh, this world really doesn't take money seriously. It's like a gale wind blowing.

In fact, if you think about those super-rich people who make more than 100 million in a day, they may not really care about such a little bit.

"We're still poor! However, the Tianyi Lotus we brought today is not inferior to them. Cheng Huayao said to Zhang Fan with a smile.

The two of them walked while watching the bonsai along the way.

"It's kind of shocking. Zhang Fan nodded.

Suddenly, Cheng Huayao walked forward quickly. Zhang Fan looked over, and what was displayed in front of him was an old pine, but according to Zhang Fan's judgment, this old pine would not be long in life!

"How can this be?" Cheng Huayao muttered to himself a little dejected after looking closer.

He is a true bonsai lover, a peerless boutique is about to pass away, he is extremely sad in his heart, and he feels extremely regretful.

The old pine in front of him is the one he introduced to Zhang Fan earlier, a rare treasure that is not sold for eight million.

Unexpectedly, three years later, the life of this old pine is no longer what it used to be, and it is like dying at dusk. Hundreds of years old pine! Anyone who sees this will have a faint pain in their hearts.

Perhaps, it is precisely for this reason that its owner took advantage of the fact that there was still a little value, and hurriedly took it out and sold it, and how much he could get back.

"No one dares to ask for a million now. ”

Three years ago, it was worth more than 8 million. ”

"Who knows? No one knows if they'll be alive tomorrow, let alone any other creatures?"

……

The owner of Honka is a middle-aged and elderly man with a helpless look on his face. Perhaps, in his heart, there is endless remorse, right? If he had changed hands three years ago, he would have received 8 million.

"It should be sick, so old five-needle pine is extremely rare. Zhang Fan said to Cheng Huayao.

The five-needle pine plant is shorter, grows slowly, has short leaves and dense branches, elegant posture, and beautiful tree shape, and is an excellent tree species for making bonsai.

"Yes, it's a pity, and it's a pity that it's a gold-leaf Osaka pine, the most valuable of the five-needle pines. Cheng Huayao sighed, he didn't expect to meet again with such a result.

The gold-leaved Osaka pine takes "Jinjin" as the top grade, its leaves are short and thick, the golden is significant and one and a half of the leaves, the branches are dense, and the growth is slow, so it can naturally form a piece; "Miyajima" leaves are slightly longer, and the autumn gradually turns into cash, only about one-third of the leaves, and the branches and leaves are loose, second to the "Jinjin".

In midsummer and early winter, some of the needles in the middle of the branches often appear irregular yellowing, which is a general manifestation of the normal metabolism of the five-needle pine.

However, the five-needle pine in front of me is about to be bald, which is obviously very abnormal.

"Is it needle disease?" Cheng Huayao was not very sure.

Zhang Fan shook his head: "It shouldn't be, the needle disease can be treated, so that people will not be helpless, that gentleman has taken it out and sold it cheaply." ”

Needle drop disease is a relatively common disease of pine trees, the initial appearance of yellow-green markings, to the beginning of August disease spots expanded, from yellow-green to reddish-brown to yellow-brown, and on the lesions produce many small black spots, that is, sexual sporophytes, at this time most of the needles fall off.

The strain in front of me does not have the symptoms of small black spots.

"This friend, how about 200,000 yuan? Even if I buy it back and die soon, I will admit it. Someone asked.

None of the people present thought that the pine tree would survive, and that death would be within a few months. In that case, it is impossible for people to get it at a high price.

The owner of the five-needle pine shook his head, this price was too different from the price in his heart, and he couldn't accept it.

"200,000 yuan to buy a pot of dying five-needle pine, the price is definitely not available to anyone. Friend, how many more millions do you want, it's a bit whimsical. The man continued.

In fact, three years ago, he once shouted the price and gave 5 million, but who knew that 8 million would not be sold.

I met again today, and I gave 200,000 yuan, which is to buy a feeling.

"It's not going to die, wouldn't you want to fight for a million?" the seller said to the onlookers.

He didn't believe this kind of thing himself. For this five-needle pine, he traveled to many places and visited many plant experts. However, everyone gave him the pot of five-needle pine and sentenced him to death.

"One million, that's too risky. ”

"Nobody's money is blown by the wind. ”

"I think, 200,000 is really a lot. If you don't sell it now, maybe no one will ask for 100,000 yuan tomorrow. ”

……

The person who opened the offer shook his head helplessly, more than 200,000, there is no need to continue talking. He glanced at the pot of five-needle pine a few more times, then turned to leave.
