Chapter 42: Ambergris

The Zen Heart Tea Room is located on the high-rise building by the Bund in Shencheng, from which you can overlook the surging river and admire the scenery of the pearl.

After Cai Hongming met Ruan Tianxuan at the treasure appreciation conference, he was pulled here to make tea, saying that he wanted to do his best to be a landlord.

Seeing him, Cai Hongming suddenly remembered something. This time he came to Shencheng, not only to participate in the treasure appreciation conference, but also to go to a well-known perfume shop in Shencheng to see if anyone bought the ambergris he dug up by the sea. Ruan Tianxuan is a medicinal herb merchant, and there are spices in medicinal herbs, so he should know the relevant parties.

So, he asked: "Fat brother, I don't know if you know people in the perfume industry, I have a little ambergris and want to sell it." ”

"Ambergris, that's a good thing, really fake?" When Ruan Tianxuan heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Cai Hongming nodded solemnly. Ruan Tianxuan listened, and as soon as his little eyes rolled, he asked to see ambergris.

Cai Hongming brought luggage when he came, mainly to hide people's eyes and ears, so that it was convenient to take out the ambergris hidden in the cave of the jade ding. When he arrived at the hotel, he pretended to take out the smallest ambergris and another ball-sized ambergris from the suitcase, while the largest one was kept for himself. It's a rare thing, and I can't tell when I'll need it.

Ruan Tianxuan saw the ambergris he brought, and immediately took out a knife from his small pocket, gently scraped a little bit and chewed it in his mouth, then lit it with an ignition, and a fragrance suddenly filled the entire room.

"It's real ambergris."

Ruan Tianxuan nodded and said, "How much do you want to sell?" ”

"I don't know, you see how much these can sell." Cai Hongming asked.

"We know, I won't tell you about those false, now there are very few natural ambergris, and the price in the market has skyrocketed, about 300 to 1,000 per gram. The quality of your ambergris is good, at least more than 100 years, I can give you 1,200 per gram, what do you think? ”

Cai Hongming calculated, these two pieces of ambergris are about three kilograms, and one thousand two hundred per gram is almost two or three million, which looks good, and after thinking about it, he nodded.

Ruan Tianxuan saw that he agreed, so he called his subordinates, weighed it, and then transferred the money. Seeing that millions of dollars were credited to the card at once, Cai Hongming felt that the money was really good. If only I could dig up a few more pieces of ambergris, I don't have to worry about the lack of money to develop the desert land in the northwest.

After handing over the ambergris, Ruan Tianxuan took Cai Hongming and Shi Wan'er to dinner.

The place to eat is also the Bund in Shanghai, and the most authentic local dishes in Shanghai are eaten. Sitting in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of a luxury hotel, eating the most authentic dishes, and enjoying the beautiful night view of Shanghai Beach is undoubtedly the greatest enjoyment of life.

The next day, the last day of the Treasure Appreciation Conference, began to auction the antique treasures that were willing to be sold at the Treasure Appreciation Conference.

Cai Hongming didn't care about anything, only paid attention to the statue of the Holy Emperor of Moyuguan.

He thought that this statue of the Emperor might be sold for two or three million, but he didn't expect that under the coaxing of a group of rich people, the statue of the Holy Emperor of Moyuguan would soar to 13 million. He felt that his heart and liver were about to be overwhelmed.

"Thirteen million, thirteen million, and is there thirteen million five hundred and fifty one thousand, three hundred and sixty million?"

The price of the statue of the Holy Emperor of Moyuguan is still rising, but Cai Hongming doesn't care anymore because he is already stupid. In the end, the statue of Emperor Guan Sheng was taken by a merchant from Southeast Asia for fifteen million. When he went out, Cai Hongming didn't know how to go, he just felt that his body was floating, and in just a while, he became a multimillionaire.

This is more than 10 million, save some for yourself, and it is estimated that it will be enough to eat for two or three lifetimes.

But is this life?

Obviously not, what's the point of a life without pursuit? Besides, more than 10 million, a lot? One movie is hundreds of millions. After thinking about it, he decided to develop his desert. It is undoubtedly a very sad thing for people to live if they have no vision and nothing to do, just to live for the sake of living.

After participating in the treasure appraisal conference, handed over the money for the auction of the black jade statue, and gave Master Yu some hard money, Cai Hongming and Yu Feihong separated from them. Under the leadership of Ruan Tianxuan, he walked around Shencheng, and after playing for two days, he left Shencheng, and Shi Wan'er also went home for the New Year.

Back in Nanzhou, Cai Hongming did not go home immediately, but took a car and went to the Nanzhou Flower Market.

When he came back a while ago, because he didn't have any money in his pocket, he didn't dare to go to the market to ask about the giant pillar cactus, but now that he has a lot of money, it's different.

In the flower market, there are many storefronts, and all kinds of flowers are dazzling, and people come and go.

Cai Hongming came to the place, looked left and right, and found a company specializing in selling cacti, so he walked in. The seller was a simple girl, and when she saw him come in, she beckoned, "Sir, what do you want to buy?" ”

"Do you have that tall cactus here, as big as the middle of the market?"

At the entrance of the flower market, there are several giant pillar cacti about ten meters away.

"We don't have this here," the simple girl shook her head and said, "But there is a cactus park nearby, there are many cacti over there, and there are big ones, you can go over and have a look." ”

Cai Hongming asked the simple girl for the address, and walked towards the cactus park she said. When I arrived at the place, I realized that the so-called park was actually just a cactus planted about ten meters or so in imitation of the desert environment, but some of the cacti in the park were indeed very tall. Cai Hongming explained his intention to the staff in the park, and saw the staff calling, and then a middle-aged man drove over and took him to another place to see the cactus.

The middle-aged man is also a local, and Cai Hongming has nothing to worry about as a man, so he got into the car with him.

After talking on the way, Cai Hongming knew that the boss's name was Huang Shucheng, and Huang Shucheng also knew what he wanted.

"Don't worry, I have what you want, but you're sure you want to ship it to the northwest to plant. It's okay in the summer, but it's not good for cacti to live in the cold in the winter. There used to be some government buying from me, but none of them were alive, but if you planted them indoors, you could. ”

"I don't know, so I want to buy some and plant them to see, and if they can't be planted, they should be bought as a lesson."

Huang Shucheng has already said a lot, and he didn't persuade him anymore when he said this.

The car drove on the national highway for a while, and then turned into a country concrete road. After driving for a while, Cai Hongming saw large and small cacti standing on a flat ground in the mountains, all kinds of cacti, which looked very spectacular.

"Boss, your garden is good, business should be very good!"

"It's okay now, if it was before, it would be a loss-making deal."

After Huang Shucheng finished speaking, he got out of the car and walked with Cai Hongming to the giant pillar cactus he wanted. There are a lot of giant pillar cacti here, some are small and some are large, three or four meters are very common, there are five or six meters, there are very few seven or eight meters, almost none, just four or five.

"Boss, how do you sell those trees?" Cai Hongming pointed to the tallest giant pillar cacti about seven meters in the park and said.

"That's my treasure, and it's expensive. If you really want it, I can give it to you cheaper. But you have to think clearly, it's not easy to transport something like this long. ”

"I'm measured."

"It's good if you think about it, I've been raising these cacti for a long time, I didn't want to sell them, since you want to buy them, I'll cut my love, a price, 150,000 yuan each, not including transportation, what do you think?"

"Yes."
