Chapter 826: Houshan Bodhi
Kapil didn't cheat, he really took them to a bank in the city and transferred 12 million US dollars to Zhang Lu's account. {We don't write novels, we're just web text porters.}
In fact, the 150 rosewood trees that Tang Yi and Zhang Lu left in Kapil's hands are of great value, and the risk of Kapil's 12 million US dollars is nothing.
However, think about it, for Tang Yi and Zhang Lu's plan, even if the ending is good, at least if Kapil plays Yin again, he can still get such a large amount of guaranteed money.
In fact, Kapil had already thought it through, not only would he not play yin, but he also intended to befriend Tang Yi.
First, he also knows that he can't just do a one-shot deal, and the next step is like Tang Yi said, it is best to continue to "make money for everyone"; Second, if I go to Huaxia to do business or have something to do in the future, maybe I may need Tang Yi's help, and it is easy to walk if I have more friends.
Lin Huanting didn't speak, but she thought a lot in her heart. Tang Yi's changes, she looks at them little by little, and sometimes it is not easy to feel too obvious. Now, Tang Yi's mature state of turning freely has suddenly made her feel reliable and proud.
However, what is interesting is that just thinking about it, the scene of seeing Tang Yi for the first time appeared in her mind.
It was a hot afternoon, sweat soaked his clothes, holding such a porcelain pot that didn't look very good, standing on the side of the antique street, seemed a little excited, and seemed a little annoyed, but there was still a kind of power in his eyes, a seemingly stubborn, but it made people feel that it would continue to grow.
In fact, Kapil also saw a kind of power in Tang Yi's eyes, obviously he was giving in, but he hid a needle in it, so that you didn't dare to make another mistake while accepting it
The dinner was in the most luxurious hotel in Bangalore, except for Tang Yi, Lin Huanting, and Zhang Lu, Kapil only called one person, this is an Indian beauty, very young, Kapil introduced it as his assistant.
Of course, if the assistant at work still does something in life, Tang Yi and they won't ask more.
"Since you're here, I'll visit the wooded area of Mysore tomorrow?" Kapil brought it up during the dinner.
In Karnataka, there are three red sandalwood forest areas in Kapil, and two of them in Bangalore are next to each other. Mysore is another city in Karnataka, and like the original state name, there is also a wooded area in Kapil.
However, Zhang Lu knows that this forest area is an accelerated forest base, which is basically an instant forest, mixed with a few old trees, and there are also other kinds of trees. So, he wasn't very interested.
"In that case, it will be too much trouble for Mr. Kapil!" Zhang Lu smiled and lit a cigarette.
"You Chinese people, you like to beat around the bush when you talk, and if you don't want to go, just say you don't want to go." Kapil smiled, "However, there are surprises in the back mountain of that wooded area!" ”
"Surprise? Aren't the back mountains dominated by other tree species? Zhang Lu asked.
"That's true. However, there was a rosewood tree in it, which I felt a little strange. "It's not tall, only seven or eight meters, but it's sixty or seventy centimeters in diameter." ”
Tang Yi thought to himself, it's a little strange, but if it doesn't grow thick, it may not be good material, besides, if it's good material, there is only one, Kapil cut it himself, why bother to tell them?
"Oh? Could it be a 'big tank'? Tang Yi then quipped. The large water tank, naturally, is also hollow, but it is thick.
"I bought the forest area in Mysore more than 20 years ago, and I plant a batch of red sandalwood seedlings every other year, and the first batch of instant forests has been sold, and it will be ready to be produced every year. At that time, I forgot why, so I planted it with other tree species in the back mountain. It is said that it has only been more than 20 years, and it is impossible to be hollow. ”
Zhang Lugan laughed twice, thinking that it was only a quick-growing rosewood tree for more than 20 years, if it wasn't hollow, the proportions were so out of balance, maybe there was very little heartwood, and maybe the texture was very poor.
Rosewood and sea yellow are both mahogany, and mahogany pays attention to heartwood and sapwood. In fact, in addition to being in the center, the most important thing is that the heartwood no longer contains live cells, which is more stable and durable; The sapwood is the part close to the bark, which is light in color, contains living cells and storage materials, is unstable, and basically cannot be used.
Rosewood gambling wood is afraid of hollow heartwood, and sea yellow gambling wood is afraid that the heartwood is too small.
Now, Kapil says there is such a strange rosewood tree. Because the tree is not very old, it is unlikely that the heartwood will be hollow, but it is possible that the heartwood is not large enough or the texture is poor.
Therefore, Zhang Lu was still not interested, and just laughed dryly.
"Since Mr. Kapil thinks it is strange that this tree has grown again, why not cut it down?" Tang Yi simply asked directly.
"If the heart material in it is really bad, won't my tens of thousands of dollars be wasted?" Kapil didn't hide it.
Zhang Lu laughed dryly twice, and said in his heart, okay, what kind of surprise is this, it's nothing more than that you want to transfer the risk to us and let us buy it, you don't lose money, and you can see what the situation is!
Tang Yi thought about another question. Since they are all artificially cultivated, and the years are the same, why is this one so special? Either the environment behind the mountain is special, or other tree species around it affect this tree!
"Mr. Kapil's back hill is really interesting, isn't there anything wrong with the other trees?" Tang Yi asked with a smile.
"The back mountain is shady, and it is definitely not suitable for fast-growing red sandalwood forests, so a batch of Bodhi trees were planted." Kapil smiled, "So, I'm afraid that if there is no problem, the fruit will not grow big." ”
Tang Yi and Zhang Lu are both people in the antique circle, and of course they are basically familiar with cultural games, so they understand it as soon as they hear it. But Lin Huanting didn't understand, she looked at Tang Yi, "The fruit doesn't grow, it's okay?" How so? ”
"The Bodhi tree that Mr. Kapil is talking about must be the phoenix-eyed Bodhi tree. Is that Mr. Kapil? Tang Yi looked at Kapil again.
"Yes, in India, when you say Bodhi Tree, you mean the phoenix-eyed Bodhi tree, and when you say other Bodhi trees, you will add a specific name." Kapil nodded.
There are many kinds of Bodhi, and as far as the fruit of cultural toys is concerned, there are three major kinds: King Kong, Phoenix Eye, and Xingyue. It is said that the founder of Buddhism, Shakyamuni, enlightened under the phoenix-eyed Bodhi tree. Bodhi, in Sanskrit, means "enlightenment."
Therefore, if you only say the Bodhi tree without a specific name, it is the phoenix-eyed Bodhi. The phoenix-eyed Bodhi is considered to be "a qiē method that can be cultivated".
The bud eyes on the core of the phoenix eye Bodhi look like squinted eyes, so it is called "phoenix eyes". Phoenix, mostly appears in Buddhist carvings and paintings, is a symbol of auspiciousness, and the name of phoenix-eyed Bodhi basically comes from this.
