Chapter XXXVIII

In the evening, Tian Chuan had a meal with Xu Jingyi, watched another movie, and sent her back to the dormitory before ten o'clock.

This is the first real date since the two fell in love. Through this day's contact, Xu Jingyi learned about part of Tian Chuan's daily busyness. Seeing the operation of tens of millions of funds with her own eyes made her speechless.

In the last few days, there hasn't been much going on, and Tagawa has been practicing boxing every day, attending classes, and discussing problems with professors who have projects, and his life is full and uneventful. It was only when he was practicing boxing with Wu Lao that Wu Lao felt his progress in pushing his hands, and asked him curiously: "Do you have any special insights in the past two days?" Your understanding of Tai Chi has improved significantly, and your listening strength and movement consistency have improved. Tian Chuan told Liu Meiting about the Tai Chi Tea Ceremony, and brought Wu Lao a copy of the Tai Chi Tea Sketch the next day.

Wu Lao was very happy with his perception, and could see from the painting that Liu Meiting was a Yang-style Tai Chi master.

Tian Chuan's Chen's Taijiquan Lao Jian has been practiced well, and Wu Lao said to him on this day: "The first National Taijiquan Conference opened in Quang Binh on November 12, and I received an invitation. I want to take you in, do you have time?"

Tian Chuan asked curiously: "There are so many branches of Taijiquan, how can you compare them if they don't like each other?

Wu Lao smiled: "It's just to play, it's just better than pushing hands." Regardless of the level, regardless of the type of punch, the main rule is to use the eight methods to send the opponent out to score, top the bull or hit the opponent to deduct points. ”

Tagawa thought about it and agreed. He was going to participate in the auction on the 9th, and on the 10th he went home to give the foundation money for the charity auction, and the family's new house was not completed until the 15th, and the 12th was free.

He also wanted to get to know the world's Tai Chi boxers and understand his own strength level. Now when he pushes his hands, he has been able to fight with Wu Lao for a while, and occasionally he can win, and he has made obvious progress.

On the afternoon of November 9, a special art auction held for the Yongyang No. 1 Middle School Teachers' Health Security Foundation was held in the No. 1 Auction Hall of Jiashide in Beijing. Tian Chuan and Xu Jingyi participated in the auction.

The whole auction process was a bit uneventful, and there were not many abnormalities in the price of the lots, only Tian Chuan's works were sought after under the coaxing of Luan Jianjun and others. The portrait of Teacher Zhou was auctioned for a high price of 520,000 yuan, and Liu Meiting grabbed it, and she also auctioned two other works by Tian Chuan.

The average transaction price of Tagawa's sketches reached 90,000 yuan, and among the calligraphy works, "Jiang Chengzi" and "Heart Sutra" were sold for 70,000 yuan and 110,000 yuan respectively, setting a record for the transaction price of a newcomer's calligraphy work. "Jiang Chengzi" was filmed back by Tian Chuan himself, and "Heart Sutra" was taken away by a strange old man.

Tian Chuan got his wish to auction Qu Guodong's two paintings, but when bidding for Liu Tianyu's longevity, he encountered strong competition, and he spent 2.1 million yuan to get the work, which was estimated at 700,000 yuan.

Liu Tianyu's couplet, he won for 360,000 yuan, and in order to prevent unsuccessful auctions, he also won a group of albums by Liu Tianyu and a painting by Yang Kaiyi.

The four masterpieces offered by Tagawa detonated the auction*. Xu Beihong was 10.2 million yuan, Wu Changshuo was 6.9 million yuan, and the workers were 19 million yuan, only Wang Xuetao was not very favored and was recovered by Tian Chuan for 450,000 yuan.

Tagawa sold a total of 39 million lots, and the total auction proceeded more than 55 million, far exceeding expectations.

Because he was visiting relatives abroad and was an alumnus who knew Liu Tianyu well, the painter Liang Zhen did not attend the auction in person, and the ten paintings he donated were also auctioned at a good price.

After the successful completion of the auction, Tagawa attended a celebratory reception organized by the auction house. At the reception, he took two brochures with him and successfully completed the signing work.

The next day, Tian Chuan accompanied Liu Tianyu, Qu Guodong, Yang Kaiyi and other artist alumni to donate the auction proceeds to the foundation.

The donation ceremony and the inauguration ceremony of the foundation were held in the playground of Yongyang No. 1 Middle School. City and county leaders and leaders of the State Education Commission were present, and a large number of reporters from various media in the city and county conducted on-site interviews.

All teachers and students of the school participated in the conference. At the meeting, Tian Chuan donated the auction proceeds to the foundation on behalf of the artist alumni and read out a letter to the alumni of his alma mater, which is a proposal for the alumni to do something for their alma mater, which received warm applause.

Chairman Gao, who was elected as the chairman of the management committee of the foundation, announced that the fundraising work of the foundation was successfully completed and the foundation was officially established. In the early stage, a total of more than 70 million yuan was raised, far exceeding the expected 12 million yuan. The Management Committee will re-plan the use and operation of funds, and make public announcements to the public in a timely manner.

After the donation ceremony, Tian Chuan took Xu Jingyi to visit Teacher Zhou in Jin City, and Teacher Zhou's complexion improved significantly, he was able to eat liquid food, and his physical recovery was progressing quickly.

Seeing Tian Chuan and Xu Jingyi arriving together, Teacher Zhou joked with them: "Before the college entrance examination, I watched the two of you eyebrows, and now they really come together." You are just over ten years old, and the road of early love is still very slow and long, so you must cherish each other. ”

Mr. Zhou was very pleased to hear the news of the establishment of the foundation, he said: "My illness this time contributed to the establishment of the foundation, and it can be regarded as a contribution to the school. After Tian Xu and the others visited Teacher Zhou, they found Senior Brother Zhang on duty, inquired about Teacher Zhou's condition, and learned that he was stable, so he left the hospital with confidence.

Tian Chuan sent Xu Jingyi home, and he also went home. Everything is normal in the chicken farm, strawberries and green peppers are about to start to raise seedlings, and a part of the two sheds is cleared out for seedbeds, and the seedlings are raised in seedling bowls. Under the guidance of Mr. Zhong, no pesticides and chemical fertilizers are used, only crushed and sterilized corn cobs and cow dung are used, and a part of pig manure is added to form a nutrient base for seedling raising.

In the future, it is planned to use such nutrient bases to carry out off-soil cultivation experiments on planting beds made of red bricks and plastic sheets. This way, the soil temperature is higher, and it is more suitable for winter vegetable planting. Vegetables need potassium fertilizer, pre-preparation with plant ash. It can be purchased in the early stage, and large-scale planting can be considered to build an incinerator for heating, ash removal, and carbon dioxide supplementation.

Tian Chuan told his father that the cabbage could be sold to the wholesaler and a few hundred catties for himself. He ordered a batch of blister fresh-keeping boxes and asked the workers to sort out some of the dishes, each containing more than a catty, ready to take them back tomorrow to give away.

After seeing the greenhouse, Tian Chuan went to the new house again and took a look at the decoration.

The main body of the villa, the fence and the wings, as well as the garage, have been completed, and the interior and exterior decoration have been basically completed, and all kinds of equipment are now being installed. More than 20 workers rushed to work overnight, and the project could be completed in about a week.

The exterior of the house is painted pale cyan, with pale yellow and white decorative strips, and the roof is paved with red tiles and ridges, which is very beautiful from a distance.

Tagawa went around each room and was satisfied with the quality of the construction. Coming to the roof terrace, the lifting greenhouse is ready for use. He consulted with his parents and decided to plant some flowers and plants on the terrace. He called a flower and tree farm in the county town and made an appointment with them to come early tomorrow morning to inspect the flower and plant planting service.

In the evening, his parents told Tagawa that the fish tackle shop had been operating for two months, and the income was good. Recently, I did an inventory, and the profit has reached more than 80,000 yuan. It's about to freeze, and now the business has dropped significantly, and it's ready to close down after the freeze.

Tagawa told his parents that there was no need to close down. I have ordered a batch of ice fishing supplies, and organized an ice fishing training activity after freezing, so as to bring up the atmosphere of ice fishing, and the business of the store will not be too bad in the future.

In addition, Tagawa's fishing gear accessories made at the machinery company have been sold in the store and are selling well. The fishing tackle brand of the machinery company has a good response among anglers, but the hook tying device does not sell well, probably because of the free hook tying service. In addition, tying the hook takes too much time and has become a burden. Dad proposed to cancel the free hook service and replace it with an appropriate fee, which can reduce the workload a little and also promote the sales of the hook tyer.

Tagawa said, "You can try it first." In addition, I think I can let the store staff take the time to tie some finished hooks and threads to sell. The profit in this area is given to the clerk, which is also considered a benefit given to them by the store, as long as it does not affect the normal work. ”

Finally, Tagawa asked his father to send a message to the club members, informing everyone that they would have ice fishing training outside the store on the 16th of this month.

Early the next morning, Tagawa came to the greenhouse. The cabbage is still small, just about 15 centimeters, after pulling it out of the soil, cut off the roots with the soil, and neatly stack it into the crisper box, which looks very tender. Each box is about a pound or more. The packed dishes were then packed into cardboard boxes and placed in the trunk of Tagawa's car.

After arranging the packaging of cabbage, Tian Chuan came to the green pepper seedling bed. Green peppers have a long growth period, and seedlings should start today. The seeds have been soaked and placed one by one in the nursery bowl with the medium already packed. In order to protect the environment, Tagawa did not choose cheap biodegradable plastic seedling bowls, but used PP injection molding seedling bowls. This plastic bowl has large holes on the side and bottom, which is easy to leak water and soil, and the cost is much higher. In order to prevent environmental pollution, the bowl body needs to be dismantled at the end, which adds a lot of workload.

Finally, Tagawa went to see a chicken farm. In a week, the chicks have not changed much, and Professor Lang's comparative research experiment on feed formula has not yet yielded results. In order to add fresh plant feed to the chickens, my father bought ten tons of Chinese cabbage and stored it in the warehouse as Tian Chuan said.

After a week of use, the stored insect powder has been used up. The farmed earthworms are still harvested early, so they have to be purchased from the market. Dad said that other people's chickens are fed bone meal or fish meal, which is much cheaper than earthworm meal. Professor Kazuro Tagawa agreed that fishmeal or eggshell meal can be added in small amounts, but bone meal should not be used. Because the composition of purchased bone meal is too complex, it is difficult to avoid the mixing of harmful substances.

When Professor Tagawa asked him to assess whether the yield of earthworms could meet the needs of the farm, Professor Lang said: "The total area of the three sheds is less than three acres, which should be enough. I took a look and the earthworms in the multi-layer beds grew the fastest and were harvested quickly. ”

Tian Chuan returned to the capital that morning, and when he left, he told Professor Lang that the cabbage in the vegetable shed could be eaten, and he could pluck some and bring some back to the capital to eat or give away, so he would not give it to him.

After Tian Chuan returned to the capital, Tian Chuan first sent the cabbage to Liu Meiting and her friends, and in the afternoon went to buy two cotton silk practice clothes and matching cloth shoes, ready for the competition, and discussed tomorrow's itinerary with Wu Lao, preparing to drive to Guangping early tomorrow morning.
