Chapter 175: The Contest Ends
He Wandong leaned over behind Ling Zikai from behind and said in a low voice: "Brother Ling, don't you want to auction this party ginseng, our Tianlong Group is willing to buy it at a high price, and the price is yours." What do you think?"
If it is said that before he knew the origin of the party ginseng, Ling Zikai did have plans to sell it. But now that I learned that this was an extinct ginseng variety, I immediately had the idea of reviving and cultivating it.
In the eyes of others, this may be a whimsical thing, but for Ling Zikai, as long as he has the energy of the ancestral god, even a dead branch can make it take root and sprout and regain new life.
"Uncle He, if you say, compare this Shangdang ginseng with my reincarnation ginseng, which one is more valuable!"
He Wandong said casually: "Since the previous literature has listed Shangdang ginseng as the best ginseng, it must be higher than the current Xing'an ginseng and Korean ginseng in terms of medicinal value and efficacy, plus this is an extinct ginseng, and it is rare and expensive, I think the price should be comparable to your reincarnation ginseng!"
"Then if there are a large number of codonopsis and mutated ginseng in my forest farm at the same time, which one do you think will be more expensive?"
He Wandong asked in surprise, "What did you say? There are a large number of Shangdang ginseng in your forest farm?"
Ling Zikai shook his head and said, "I mean what if." Didn't the old mallet just say that this ginseng is produced in the Shangdang area of Jinnan Province, how can it appear in my forest farm!"
He Wandong felt that Ling Zikai's question was a little strange, so he glanced at him suspiciously, and said: "I can't say this either, it depends on which one has better medicinal effects between the two!
Ling Zikai said with a smile: "Although this thing was not picked up from the trash can as people said, I also bought it for two thousand yuan at a stall. ”
He Wandong smiled bitterly when he heard this: "I said brother, you are really a great character, and you can pick up treasures if you pick up leaks! I estimate that if you take it to auction, the price will definitely increase by 10,000 times! How can I not touch this kind of good thing!"
The cuckoo next to him asked in surprise, "You said it was worth 20 million?"
He Wandong nodded and said, "This should only be said to be the starting price, if you don't believe it, I'm willing to buy it at this price now!"
When Du Juan saw He Wandong say this, not only did he not look happy, but he looked a little hesitant and uneasy.
Ling Zikai knew that she must be feeling sorry for the little boy in her heart, so he quietly grabbed her hand as a sign of comfort.
Then he said to He Wandong: "Uncle He, I still want to take this Dang ginseng back to the forest farm to ponder what is the difference between it and Xing'an ginseng, so I won't sell it for the time being." However, don't worry, when I run out of money and want to sell it, I will definitely notify you as soon as possible!"
He Wandong felt a little regretful, but he still stopped talking knowingly.
At this time, Li Zhixian's eyes widened, looking at the codonopsis in the hand of the old mallet, and he was speechless for a long time. His eyes were filled with envy and chagrin.
If he had known yesterday that this was the Dang ginseng, no matter how much it cost, he would have bought it.
For this famous ginseng seed, which has been extinct for hundreds of years, he knows even better than all the Chinese people present.
In his Black Mountain Li family, there is a secret book of family history that has been passed down for thousands of years, and in a text called "Detailed Explanation of Ginseng", there is a detailed record of the ginseng of the Chinese Guoshang Party:
Holding the calf high into the white clouds,
The purple group is even more at the top of the calf.
Yao Guanghua is full of energy
The elites of heaven and earth are secretly growing.
Cave grass rock flowers are fresh in four seasons,
Five-leaf spirit ginseng Kui Yu.
This is a poem left by the ninth generation of the Li family of Montenegro after traveling to the Chinese country for more than 800 years.
The calf mentioned in the poem refers to the Taihang Mountain in the current Huaxia Kingdom, and the purple group is Shangdang, and in the Li clan, Shangdang ginseng is also called purple group ginseng.
At that time, Zituan Mountain was a dense primeval forest, with tall trees such as linden trees and sumac trees, all of which were summer green broad-leaved plants with thick trunks and lush branches.
As we all know, primeval forests play a role in regulating the balance of nature and maintaining the balance of oxygen content in the air through photosynthesis.
The moisture balance in the air is maintained through foliar transpiration, so that the air humidity here is just right, not dry or damp;
The heat balance in the air is maintained through radiation, making it a place with a suitable temperature and a mild climate.
In addition, the repeated defoliation also increases the humus in the soil and conserves water and soil.
All of these provide the conditions needed for ginseng growth, making the ginseng produced here of the best quality and of the highest quality.
So much so that the current clansmen are secretly rejoicing, fortunately, this Shangdang ginseng is now extinct, otherwise, the ginseng produced in their Montenegro has really become a radish root in the vegetable garden compared to others, where is there still a foothold.
As for how Shangdang ginseng later became extinct, there is no record in the secret book.
But for the efficacy and value of this ginseng, the ninth generation ancestor also mentioned something.
It is said that the reason why Yang Guifei in the Tang Dynasty of the Chinese Kingdom was born with beautiful resources and made Emperor Tang Ming collect three thousand favors in one beauty secret was because of the regular use of Codonopsis.
At that time, the value of a piece of Dang Ginseng was several times more expensive than gold, and it was a tribute to the imperial court.
The nine generations of ancestors of the Li family were fortunate to dig up a Shangdang ginseng in Zituan Mountain, which was brought back to the clan and treasured for decades. Again, a respected clan elder in the clan suddenly fell ill, and he was about to choke his breath when he saw it. The patriarch ordered someone to cut off a few pieces of ginseng from the treasured Shangdang ginseng for the clan elder to take, and the result was that the patriarch not only came back to life, but also lived for more than ten years, and for a time, Shangdang ginseng was known as the "magic medicine" in the clan.
Another thing that is regarded as a top secret of the entire family is that the reason why their Li Black Mountain can now become a well-known ginseng production area in the ginseng industry all over the world is because the nine generations of ancestors of the Li family brought back some ginseng seeds from the Shangdang of Huaxia Kingdom, and after the careful cultivation of generations of people, the current scale has been formed.
In other words, the ginseng produced by their Montenegro Group originated from Shangdang ginseng, and Zituan Mountain in Huaxia is their birthplace.
Of course, this kind of secret will never be passed on, even if the people of Bangzi Country are still accustomed to calling the ginseng produced by their Black Mountain Group "Purple Group Ginseng", they still firmly declare to the outside world that Lee's Black Mountain is the only origin of ginseng in the world.
Li Zhixian knows very well that the people in the family have great respect for this kind of Shangdang ginseng, and if he can bring it back to the country of sticks, he will definitely be able to win the praise of the entire family, which will be of great help to him whether he can sit in the position of the heir of the group.
Thinking of this, Li Zhixian whispered to He Qiujiang beside him: "Mr. He, can you help me get that party ginseng?"
He Qiujiang subconsciously glanced at Ling Zikai, if he said that if he was changed to another person, he would have a way to get what was in the other party's hands. But for the kid surnamed Ling in front of him, he really had a headache.
The two have formed an incompatible hostile relationship, and they don't even think about communication. And this kid doesn't eat hard and soft, I heard that his skills are also quite powerful, and now he is backed by the towering tree of the old Zhang family, no matter how much he uses black and white means, it will not have any effect.
Seeing He Qiujiang's somewhat embarrassed look, Li Zhixian said a little eagerly: "Mr. He, no matter what method you use, as long as you can get it, I can give you double the reward!"
He Qiujiang was a little moved, and said, "Let's take a look at what we're talking about first." If he wants to put it up for auction later, you don't have to bid, I'll find someone else to buy it quietly. If he doesn't want to sell, he'll wait until the tournament is over to find another way!"
Li Zhixian knew that if he came forward to bid, the person surnamed Ling didn't know how many layers of heaven he would have to raise the price! It would be better to let He Qiujiang come forward, so he nodded and said, "Everything is up to Mr. He!"
Li Zhixian naturally wouldn't have thought that He Qiujiang and Ling Zikai had a deeper grudge than him, if Ling Zikai was to find out, even if he took a mountain of gold to smash it, it would be impossible to buy it.
Of course, he would not have expected that the other party had no idea of selling the party ginseng at all, so that in the end it was just an empty joy for himself.
After the old mallet told the origin of the party ginseng, the reaction at the venue seemed to be less sensational than the thousand-year-old ginseng that I heard about Li Zhixian before.
This thing has disappeared for centuries, and most people don't have a very high level of awareness of it, and even the judges don't know how to evaluate it, so that the wild ginseng king of this competition has not been produced for a long time.
The judges had to resort to the old method of deciding the ownership of the king at the final auction price.
It's just that what they didn't expect was that when this proposal was just announced, Ling Zikai and Li Zhixian both stood up at the same time and said that their Shangdang ginseng (millennium ginseng) would not participate in the auction.
As a result, the judges had a hard time and had to say that since you don't want to participate in the auction, you can only give up the opportunity to participate in these two ginseng teams.
Ling Zikai's main idea of taking out the party ginseng was to figure out its origin through the competition, and now that the goal has been achieved, it doesn't matter if he can get the title of king at all, and he immediately expressed his willingness to give up.
Li Zhixian naturally couldn't sell the treasure of the Montenegro Group to others, he just wanted to show off the heritage of the Black Mountain Li family in the stick country at the competition, and now it seems that he has achieved his goal.
Moreover, now his mind is on how to take away the Shangdang ginseng that is related to whether he can become the heir of the family from Ling Zikai's hands, that is the big thing he has to do!
As a result, this temporary extra-election tournament initiated by Ling Zikai and Li Zhixian became a farce with no end in sight.
This ending also made those who originally wanted to bid for the millennium ginseng and Shangdang ginseng feel regretful.
The contest continued according to the original agenda.
After fierce bidding on the spot, in the end, the No. 2 reincarnation ginseng selected by Ling Zikai won the championship of this competition at a sky-high price of 28 million.
The No. 1 ginseng selected by the Black Mountain Ginseng Group ranked second with a bidding price of 26 million.
With Ling Zikai's reminder, He Wandong, president of Hong Kong Island Tianlong Group, did not participate in the auction of this competition, leaving many speculations for everyone.
