Chapter 0129: Are You Optimistic
Chapter 0129: Are you optimistic
It's not that Gu Yu hasn't drunk red wine before, both domestic and imported, from a bottle of more than a dozen yuan to a bottle of thousands of yuan, he has drunk them all. Although he doesn't like to drink, he can still judge the quality www.biquge.info of red wine to some extent.
The red wine that Huangjia Forest Farm took out to entertain all the guests cannot be said to be bad, it is imported from France, and the market price can buy 300 yuan a piece, which can be regarded as a medium and high-end wine. However, compared to the entrance fee of 100,000 yuan per person, such a wine is too low.
Of course, it was not because of this that made Gu Yu frown, but because he had exchanged some red wine from the non-staple food section of the lottery system last time, and he poured them out of the original packaging and replaced them in ordinary plastic bottles according to custom. In this process, it is inevitable to taste some red wine provided by the system, and the taste, he knows now, is still engraved in his heart and cannot be forgotten.
Compared with the red wine of the system, this red wine imported from France is not half a star and a half, and the two are not in the same order of magnitude at all. Usually such a good red wine, but now drinking this kind of red wine for three or four hundred yuan a bottle, Gu Yu feels a little difficult to swallow.
At this moment, the girl just now came over with a glass of red wine. "I saw you frowning just now, are you not drinking this wine, or are you not used to drinking red wine?"
Gu Yu couldn't help but glance at the girl and said, "Miss, you have approached me again and again, are you attracted to me, or do you want to seduce me?" No matter which one it is, I advise you not to waste your efforts, I already have an intention on someone, not you." ”
The girl's face turned red, and she was ashamed and indignant, for no one had ever spoken so presumptuously in front of her before today. She's almost crushing her silver teeth. "Self-inflicted sentimentality is unreasonable. ”
So saying, the girl took the glass and turned away.
Gu Yu smiled faintly, he came here to increase his knowledge, not to pick up girls. Moreover, this girl is flattering like a star holding the moon, her clothes are all world-class top clothes, her background is definitely not ordinary, such a noble lady, Gu Yu is not in the mood to play with her.
Gu Yu drank the red wine in his hand, then put the wine glass on the table, then found a place to sit down, leaned back in the chair, and played mobile games boringly.
I don't know how long it took, Gu Yu found that the noisy environment around him suddenly quieted down a lot. He raised his head and looked in all directions, and saw that several people were walking together at a corner gate in the backyard.
I don't know when the emcee came out with a microphone in his hand. "Ladies and gentlemen, let us welcome Mr. Liu Jinbao, the eldest son of Mr. Liu Shijie, the richest man in Hong Kong, Mr. Liu Guangxun, the beloved son of Mr. Liu Jinbao, Mr. Huang Erpeng, the owner of Huangjia Forest Farm, and Mr. Sun Lixin, the owner of Sun's Forest Farm......"
The master of ceremonies took a stimulant, and excitedly reported a long list of names, as many as seven or eight.
The guests, young and old, stood up and applauded ceremonially.
In a place close to the north wall, a platform was set up, Huang Erpeng and others all boarded the platform, Liu Jinbao, Sun Lixin and others stood in a row, Huang Erpeng stood at the front alone, and the master of ceremonies handed him the microphone.
Huang Erpeng is very well maintained, and it is not obvious from his appearance that he is already a rare old man who is more than ten years older than Sun Lixin. He was wearing a festive Tang costume, with a three-foot long hair under his chin, hanging down to his chest, and a fluttering fairy aura.
"Thank you all for joining us. Huang Erpeng doesn't look old, but his voice is full of energy, and his breath is long and powerful, not like an ordinary businessman. "I know that most of the friends who came to cheer this time have heard some rumors, but there are also some friends who don't quite know why I want to hold such a grand event, and they have made such a big formation, and even alarmed the local government, and let people send police to maintain order. I can give you a thorough explanation of the reasons for this. Two years ago, I contracted a few more hills from the local area, and when I was carefully surveying these hills, I accidentally found a small piece of primitive small-leaved red sandalwood forest. Everyone knows that the best small-leaved red sandalwood is recognized all over the world as being produced in India, but in recent years, with the development of our human beings, it has been difficult to find small-scale small-leaved red sandalwood forests. And the small-leaved red sandalwood forest I found, there are more than 20 trees, and judging from my years of experience, the largest trees are more than 800 years old, and may even be 1,000 years old. ”
Before Huang Erpeng's words were finished, all the guests present were like frying the pot, and they all exchanged their heads and began to discuss.
One of the most significant characteristics of such a tree species is that it grows slowly, from the sapling to the thickness of the adult's arm, it may take twenty or thirty years, and it is impossible to make it a talent without hundreds of years of accumulation. After 800 or even 1,000 years, a small piece of unspoiled small-leaved rosewood forest, among which there is really a possibility of extremely large trees, then its value is really incalculable. You must know that the small-leaved red sandalwood on the market is now sold by catties, and a catty is hundreds or thousands or even higher, how much should a tree be? How much should a small forest be? It is no wonder that Huang Erpeng made the meeting place so strict this time, and even brought in the police.
"I know people may not believe it, but it doesn't matter, I took a few photos and came back, and when you look at the photos, you can see if it's real or fake. Huang Erpeng said, let people turn on a projector, and the pictures prepared in advance were projected one by one.
Many of the people who came today were specialized in the mahogany business, and they could easily recognize the number on the photo, and when they saw clearly that there was really a small leafy red sandalwood growing in the picture, they were all excited. Especially when they saw the three tallest and thickest small-leaved rosewood trees in the middle of this small-leaved rosewood forest, they all exclaimed.
Of these three small-leaved red sandalwoods, the thickest one is about two adults hugging, and they may not be able to hug it, and the thinnest one is thicker than one adult hugging. Moreover, their trunks are straight and stout, the first fork is about two meters high from the ground, such a small leaf red sandalwood is simply the best, if the trunk is not hollow, it will be cut, you can take a lot of boards, use it to make furniture, that is simply sky-high, sell a price of hundreds of millions, it is easy and ordinary.
Huang Erpeng pointed to the three largest small-leaved red sandalwood trees on the picture and said: "This small piece of small-leaved red sandalwood, other red sandalwood trees, our Huangjia Forest Farm does not plan to sell them for the time being, but these three largest small-leaved red sandalwood, we decided to take them out and share them with you." Let me first say, these three small leaf red sandalwood are to gamble on the wood, the reserve price of each of the three plants can not be less than 30 million, as for how high it is, it all depends on everyone's mind, just quote, and finally hand it over to me, and I will choose the one with the highest price as the final winner. I said first, only if you accept the reserve price and must pay three million yuan as a deposit, you can follow my people to the small leaf red sandalwood forest to go to the field, and when you come back, you must quote, any friend who does not insure the price, the deposit will not be returned, or the friend who has quoted the price but does not pay the final payment, the three million deposit will not be refunded. ”
Gu Yu's expression was solemn, and he stared at the three small-leaved rosewood trees in the picture, thoughtful. He didn't think it was strange that Huang Erpeng set the reserve price of the three small-leaved rosewood trees at 30 million. These three trees seem to be of different thicknesses, and it seems that the thicker they are, the more valuable they are, but in fact they are not.
Rosewood has always had a saying that there are ten sandalwood and nine hollows, that is, the tree grows and grows hollow in the middle. Actually, it's not that it's hollow like bamboo, but that the heart of the tree dies over time. Once the rosewood is hollow, it would be silly to calculate its value according to the diameter at breast height of the tree.
Gambling on wood and wood, in fact, gambling on this is this, no matter which one, there is a considerable possibility of hollowness. If there is no hollow, it will naturally make a lot of money, but if it is hollow, it is very likely that even the capital of 30 million will not be recovered. And this small piece of wild small-leaved red sandalwood forest has not been discovered until now, they should live in inaccessible places, where transportation is inconvenient, even in the deep mountains and dense forests, to transport them out of the place of origin, it must be a lot of money, inside and outside combined, the loss is not a matter of millions, it is very likely to lose 10 million on a tree.
However, there is no way to judge whether it is hollow or not without putting it down, or even sawing it open, which makes any merchant who buys it take great risks. The main reason why Huang Erpeng is willing to take out these three small-leaved rosewood trees for everyone to gamble on wood is to avoid risks, no matter what, he has been able to steadily harvest at least 90 million. And if he wants to develop these three trees by himself, he won't even be able to earn 50 million.
"Now, I will give you a quarter of an hour, and after a quarter of an hour, the friends who have decided to gamble can stay, sign up with me one by one, and pay a deposit of three million. Those who don't plan to gamble on wood, you can leave. Our Huangjia Forest Farm also has a place to gamble on wood in another place, where you can go to gamble on wood. Huang Erpeng said.
Huang Erpeng returned the microphone to the emcee, and then turned around to talk to Liu Jinbao and them, and the emcee began to play a three-inch tongue, encouraging people to stay and bet on these three rare small leaf red sandalwood.
Gu Yu stared at the small leaf red sandalwood on the picture, without saying a word, I don't know when Sun Lixin came down from the stage and walked to his side. "Xiaotani, what are you looking at?"
Gu Yu pointed to the small leaf red sandalwood on the picture and said, "Of course I look at them." A 30 million tree is simply a treasure tree piled up with silver. ”
Sun Lixin smiled and said, "No matter how expensive they are, they can't compare with the national fortune tree in the cherry orchard? ”
Gu Yu smiled. "Let's not talk about the things in Japan, it's a coincidence, but it's not as good as this forest, it's a natural value. Elder Sun, seriously, are you interested in these three trees?"
"Of course I'm interested, but the risk is too great. Sun Lixin pursed his lips with a solemn expression, "I don't play with you either, to be honest, I'm not very optimistic about the largest one and the thinnest one, I want to try the second thickest one." I think that even if it has a hollow, there are relatively few hollow places, and maybe I can cut out a lot of plates, and in that case, I will be able to make a small profit. ”
Sun Lixin has been immersed in the mahogany industry for many years, but even he is not optimistic about these three small-leaved red sandalwood. "Xiaotani, what do you think?"
Gu Yu rubbed his chin and said, "I want to gamble, anyway, my money is easy to come by, and I don't feel distressed." By the way, Elder Sun, let me ask you a question, if these three small-leaved rosewood trees are not hollow, how much are you willing to pay for them?"
"Needless to say, of course, it was acquired at a high price. If each tree can cut out some boards, I am willing to pay 200 million yuan to buy these three trees, so I may not make a lot of money, but my reputation at home and abroad can be out. This is not something that can be done with one or two hundred million. When Sun Lixin said this, he shook his head and sighed: "It's a pity that this can only be an illusion." ”
Gu Yu smiled and didn't say anything more.
Soon, a quarter of an hour passed, and more than half of the people left one after another in the process, either they didn't have the financial resources, or they were not optimistic about the three small-leaved red sandalwood, of course, there were many people who stayed, no matter what the reason, they wanted to go to the scene to see, in case these three small-leaved red sandalwood really may not have a hollow, then it would make a lot of money.
Soon, Huang Erpeng took the people to complete the count, and the people who did not leave and paid the deposit, including Gu Yu and Sun Lixin, there were more than 50 people in total. All the margins added together, there is more than 100 million. Speaking of which, the Huang family definitely made a lot of money this time, not to mention what price the three small-leaved red sandalwood plants sold in the end, just the tickets, they sold forty or fifty million, even if they distributed some to the local government, they could earn twenty or thirty million.
Huang Erpeng said: "I am very grateful to everyone for being able to stay and participate in this prosperous era. Now, I'm going to arrange for you to take a helicopter ride to the place where we found the rosewood forest. ”
Huang Erpeng's nephew, Huang Xiaoyu, walked in and began to leave the venue with people and go outside to take a helicopter. This time, the Huang family really made a lot of money, and the transport helicopter chartered three, each of which could fit twenty or thirty people.
Gu Yu and they got on the helicopter, and found that the portholes of the helicopter were covered with black cloth in advance, so that they could not see outside, and the Huang family placed a Huang family member on each helicopter in order to eliminate Gu Yu's vigilance, and there were also security guards and police officers, which was also to show that they did not want to kill their lives.
The three helicopters took off one after another, and the Huang family stood guard at the hatch, keeping their eyes on everyone from time to time to prevent anyone from lifting the black cloth and secretly observing the route outside. The value of a small piece of small-leaved red sandalwood forest is too high, and if some people know about it, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not do the business of illegal logging.
The helicopter flew for about ten minutes before descending from the sky and landing at the foot of a mountain. The terrain here is not very flat, and the helicopter could not land on the ground at all, but lowered the suspension ladder, allowing Gu Yu and them to lie on the suspension ladder one by one, get down from the helicopter, and fall to the ground.
Don't look at Huang Erpeng's age, he also followed, in addition to the crew, he was the first person to go down the suspension ladder to the ground, which made many people look at Huang Erpeng quite unexpectedly. The old man didn't seem to be enough to describe him with the phrase "old and strong".
When everyone got off the helicopter, Huang Erpeng pointed to a dense forest in front of him and said, "Please follow me, walk through this forest, and walk a little more to the place." Everyone must follow the people in front, in addition to obeying the command, do the necessary protection, there are a lot of poisonous snakes and poisonous insects here, if you are accidentally bitten, but the trouble is tight. ”
Huang Erpeng brought a few professionals this time, and they began to help everyone do the necessary protective measures, what to tighten the cuffs of the trouser legs, and apply various potions and ointments to the exposed skin, all of them were skillful. In addition, a few people with machetes and pathfinder sticks have begun to prepare in front, splitting the mountain to open the way and drive away poisonous insects and snakes.
This busy meal, full of busy work for more than half an hour, when everything is ready, the day is not early, now the day is relatively long, but in another hour or so, it should be almost dark.
Huang Erpeng said: "Everyone move quickly, you should be able to rush to the side of the small-leaved red sandalwood forest before dark." When the time comes, we will set up camp there, and we can use the evening time to study the situation of the three small-leaved red sandalwood, and wait until the afternoon of tomorrow and half, and then we will go down the mountain. You don't have to worry about not having a place to live, and you don't have to worry about not having anything to eat and drink, our Huang family has made sufficient preparations, and we will definitely not be hungry and thirsty for everyone, and we will not even have a place to sleep at night. ”
Sun Lixin said: "Lao Huang, no wonder you want to charge 100,000 tickets for one person." These arrangements must cost a lot of money, right?"
Huang Erpeng smiled and said: "This is all as it should be, everyone is my Huang Erpeng's good friend, do you want everyone to suffer and suffer? If this spreads, how can I, Huang Erpeng, be mixed in this circle in the future?"
As he spoke, everyone was ready, and then under the leadership of the Huang family, everyone headed towards the destination hidden in the deep mountains and dense forests.
Because of the relationship between the Huang family and the road in front of them, they did not encounter any danger except for tiredness on the way, that is, more than an hour later, when it was almost dark, they finally arrived at their destination.
Huang Erpeng stood on a hillside, pointed to the valley below the slope and said, "The small-leaved red sandalwood forest that our Huang family found is down there. ”
