Chapter Ninety-Eight: Quid pro quo
β¦β¦
"Whew!"
After a long sigh, Wang Ying took the mobile phone with excitement and looked left and right, eager to put it directly into his eyes. After five or six minutes of pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info he pulled Wang Zheng and said: "Wang Zheng, this is an old material with a diameter of 28 centimeters, the cow hair pattern and Venus on it are too dense!" I didn't say it, the top small leaf red sandalwood old material! This DBH, this length, plus this performance, I didn't say it, there is no 30 million, no one wants to buy it. β
"Thirty million? Didn't you say last time that the small leaf red sandalwood material of about 30 cm was only 1.3 million tons? β
"Don't compare those fast-growing forests that can be planted artificially and can produce in one or two hundred years with old materials. The old red sandalwood material with a diameter at breast height of nearly 30 centimeters has grown for thousands of years. This kind of top-quality material that can be used for furniture is extremely scarce and has no price. The price is naturally more than ten times that of plantation red sandalwood. β
After the words fell, Wang Ying turned his face to Wang Zheng, and his original smile instantly turned into flattery.
"What are you doing?"
Being stared at like this by a man, Wang Zheng felt that his hairs stood up, and he felt uncomfortable.
"Hehe, Wang Zheng! You see, we're friends now. No, it's a brother! How about handing over this red sandalwood to my brother? Rest assured, buddy is guaranteed to sell you a high price! At least 30 million! Wang Ying hugged Wang Zheng's shoulders and said.
"I'll talk about the red sandalwood later, you let me go first!"
Wang Zheng is really not used to two big men hooking up in public. Especially the look on Wang Ying's face is too easy to misunderstand.
took Wang Ying's hand off his shoulder, looking at the smile on the other party's face with a hint of pleading, Wang Zheng didn't sell it.
"This red sandalwood can be handed over to you ......!"
"Great!"
"Huh?"
Looking at Wang Zheng's expression of refusal, Wang Ying withdrew his arm that was about to hug with a slightly sneering expression.
"Wang Zheng, don't worry! I'm sure I'll sell you this old red sandalwood at a good price! β
After nodding, Wang Zheng said, "Of course I believe in your ability, otherwise I wouldn't have shown it to you just now." β
"Hehe, you're really a friend! Hey, that's right. Where's the material now? Can I take a look? Wang Ying rubbed his hands with a look of anticipation.
"The material is still in my house, if you want to see it, you will have to wait!"
"What are you waiting for, now that the traffic is so convenient, let's just take a plane back to your house!"
"That's right, I'm not done with the capital this time!" Now the color of the small-leaved rosewood has not changed, Wang Zheng doesn't want Wang Ying to see the wood now.
"What do you tell me? In these forty-nine cities, the three sects and nine streams, I, Wang Ying, can find a way for you! β
Looking at the earnest expression on the other party's face, Wang Zheng couldn't answer. What he just said was just a prevarication of his words.
But fortunately, Wang Zheng's brain was not slow, and he thought of a way in just a few seconds.
"Okay!" Wang Zheng nodded, "Actually, this time I came to the capital, in addition to being invited to participate in Guardian's auction, the main reason is that I want to buy a century-old Changbai Mountain wild ginseng here." But I ran all over the major Chinese medicine stores in the capital, and there was no sale at all. β
"Hehe, of course not! Hundred-year-old wild ginseng is a rare treasure, it has been sold out long ago as soon as it is listed, and even if it is available in a Chinese medicine store, it will not be sold whole! β¦β¦ But this time, you're asking the right question. I have a client who has a 100-year-old wild red ginseng and wants to sell it, and when today's auction is over, I'll ask you ......! β
"Stop, you said it's red ginseng?"
"Right? Is there anything wrong with red ginseng? β
"If it's raw dried ginseng or moss ginseng, it's almost the same, and red ginseng is fine!"
Raw dried ginseng is wild ginseng dug up with fibrous roots, removed from the soil, and dried. In this way, because there is less damage to ginseng, it can also retain a trace of ginseng activity.
With this trace of activity, Shennong's plant-based nutrient solution can bring it back to life.
But red ginseng is different.
The processing process of red ginseng is: take the ginseng and cut off the branch roots and fibrous roots, wash and scrub them clean, steam them for 2-3 hours, until the ginseng roots are yellow and the skin is translucent, and then take them out to dry or dry them.
After this set of processes, the activity of this ginseng has long been gone, what is the use of Wang Zheng coming? He is here to complete the task of 'Ginseng Valley', not to eat it himself.
"I only want 100-year-old raw and dried ginseng or fresh ginseng, and the rest of the red ginseng, strong ginseng, sugar ginseng, pinched ginseng, even if it is 200 years of wild ginseng, I don't want it!" Moreover, as long as I keep raw dried ginseng for no more than one year, I will not consider it for more than one year! β
After Wang Ying, who was stunned by Wang Zheng's series of requests, reacted, he couldn't help but say, "Big brother, let me ask, did you buy this ginseng to eat?" β
"Of course!"
Wang Zheng found that it was becoming more and more natural for him to lie now.
"Since it's eaten, is there a difference in what kind of ginseng it is?"
"Of course there is a difference, personal preference is the difference!"
Looking at Wang Zheng's arrogant appearance, Wang Ying was really speechless, "Okay, you cow!" When you eat ginseng, you have to share the sweet and sour taste. β
"Of course! Hey, by the way, didn't you just say you could help? It's not going to be cowardly now, is it? β
At the beginning, Wang Zheng was just making excuses to shirk, but now he feels that it would be good if Wang Ying, the head snake in Sijiu City, could help. Maybe he can really get himself a hundred-year-old ginseng and a half. If that's the case, it really saves him a lot of trouble!
"Cowardice? Joke, my 'three-eyed tiger' Wang Ying's dictionary doesn't have the word 'cowardice'! β
"Three-eyed tiger?"
"It's over, it's over!" After secretly saying in his heart, "Hehe, don't laugh, this is just someone else's nickname!" β
"Alright, I didn't mean to laugh at you! However, since your path in Sijiu City is so wide, you have to think of a way for me when the time comes. Not much else, as long as it is done. This is with the old material of small leaf red sandalwood, which will definitely be handed over to you to deal with. After a pause, Wang Zheng, who decided to add some motivation to Wang Ying, groaned slightly, "Moreover, I'm not afraid to tell you that I have more red sandalwood in my hand!" β
"What?" Wang Ying's eyes widened instantly.
"Hold it away, your eyeballs are about to fall out!"
"Don't interrupt! Do you really have this kind of old material in your hands? β
"Hey, of course!"
"How many?" Wang Ying then said.
"There must be more than one! As for how much, I won't tell you for the time being. But as long as you give me a century-old wild ginseng, I will take out a piece of red sandalwood and give it to you for sale. And I guarantee that the DBH and performance don't have to be as bad as it was just now! β
"It's a deal!" After the shining eyes stared at Wang Zheng for a while, Wang Ying suddenly stretched out his right hand to him.
"It's a deal!"
"Smack!"
The two high-fived the agreement.
While the two were talking, the last auction had ended. This was followed by the auction of the world's top wines. Kantila Tahi Grand Cru 1996 vintage' a total of 12 750ml bottles, sold for 333,500 yuan. 'ChΓ’teau Lafite' 1982 vintage, a total of 12 750ml bottles, sold for 448,500 yuan, Wang Zheng couldn't help but think of the monkey drunk in his hand.
In terms of quality alone, Wang Zheng believes that the taste of monkey drunk fruit is definitely not inferior to the wine of the world's top wineries. But the only drawback is the limited visibility and the production is too low.
"When the task of Baixiang Valley is almost completed, this monkey drunk is estimated to be really on a scale! Now, for the time being, we have to wait! β
β¦β¦
Wang Ying really took Wang Zheng's words seriously, and he didn't come to the Guardian auction on the fourth day.
However, when Wang Ying was busy, Wang Zheng himself was not idle, in addition to participating in the autumn auction, he also cut down all the 40 small-leaved red sandalwood and huanghuali that had grown and dried, and then poured the nutrient solution on the remaining 140 red sandalwood and huanghuali.
After finishing these, Wang Zheng did not use the nutrient solution to ripen new seedlings. In addition to the current amount that has been enough for several years of consumption, the most important thing is that the consumption of Shennong's botanical nutrient solution is too large.
200 seedlings consumed more than 400 drops of Wang Zheng's nutrient solution, and 500 ml was basically gone! If it weren't for the 2 liters I got when I completed the 'Mangosteen Garden' task in Baixiang Valley in the middle, plus the original 5 liters, the amount would be more. Wang Zheng is reluctant to use it like this!
When Wang Zheng was dealing with his precious wood, the four-day Guardian autumn auction was also coming to an end, and after the last auction 'Ancient Chinese Calligraphy and Painting Sale', Guardian Auction House arranged a special appreciation dinner. Considering that I don't know anyone in it. In addition, Wang Ying has no news these days, so Wang Zheng did not participate.
However, not participating does not mean that he does not care about the money he deserves! Therefore, the day after the end of the Guardian Autumn Auction, he came to the headquarters of Guardian Auction House in Beijing again.
Because of the relationship between him once, and his pair of Qing Dynasty Qianlong enamel bowls sold at a high price, he was personally received by Guan Xiaojie, deputy general manager of the auction house.
Of course, there is also Li Yang, the account manager who received Wang Zheng last time, sitting next to him!
"Mr. Wang, according to the contract signed between us, we will take 8% of the auction proceeds of the commission of 3.6 million yuan, and then deduct the 10 million yuan you withdraw from us in advance, and we will pay you 31.4 million yuan. This is the contract, and if you don't see any problems, you can sign it at the B position. β
Hearing this, Wang Zheng took the information and took a look at it, and handed it to Wang Peng, who came with him.
As a professional lawyer from Shennong, although his emotional intelligence is not enough now, in terms of professional knowledge, he is well aware of the legal provisions of various countries around the world.
After receiving the text of the contract, Wang Peng read the entire document very quickly, and then nodded at Wang Zheng.
In this case, Wang Zheng picked up the pen and quickly signed his name on the last page. (To be continued.) )
