Chapter 1205: Crazy Ranch
Just go.
This time, I have been in Xiangjiang for more than half a month, and I will leave tonight.
In the evening, I found someone to pack Anya's oil paintings with undried paints and put them in the trunk of the car.
Grandma and old man, the next one is going to Spain to check the accounts, and the other is going to Italy to attend the opening ceremony.
Grandpa wants to rush back to the United States to discuss things, he temporarily lives in Repulse Bay, and tomorrow he will go with the US Secretary of State, and by the way, help Han Xuan bring the batteries back to California.
Guo Muzhou really wanted to go back to China with his grandson, but the "Titanic" encountered some disputes over the film scheduling, and the executive officer of Twentieth Century Fox personally called him, and he couldn't go back if he didn't go back.
"Titanic" has been in theaters for more than a month so far.
The box office performance was not good in the first week, but surprisingly, it was very durable, and the total box office in the second, third, and even fourth weeks was about the same as the first week, and with the school holidays, the attendance did not drop but increased.
Originally, Guo Muzhou and Twentieth Century Fox were ready to face the failure of this film, and Director Cameron was so anxious that he was hospitalized with a fever, and the next day he took the actors around the world to do publicity.
Now there is an inexplicable turnaround, looking at the current box office situation, it should be no problem to recover the cost, maybe they can make a small profit, they are ready to negotiate with the theater to extend the broadcast time and strive to get more profits.
At this moment, the long Rolls-Royce convoy drove out of the courtyard of Villa No. 1 in Repulse Bay, and the housekeepers and servants stood at the door and waved goodbye......
The sea breeze swept the waves, and today it was very windy, and as night fell, the street lights were turned on.
A typhoon in the Pacific Ocean is approaching, approaching the waters of Treasure Island, and the sky is full of dark clouds.
When I was walking through the city, I saw a Eu Yan Sang dry goods store on the side of the road.
Han Xuan recalled that a few days ago, when he accidentally learned that the Act content in ginseng was so high, even he himself was frightened.
If it is said that in the past, ginseng could only be regarded as a root of herbs with slightly better nutrients, but now the ginseng produced in the snow-capped mountain pasture has really become an "elixir".
The strange things that happened to animals such as Fat Ding and McDull have always been a mystery that the scientific community cannot explain.
When ordinary cats are as old as Fat Ding, the cells in their bodies have already entered the aging period, and it has not yet completed sexual development, and its cells are exceptionally healthy.
People started from this aspect, focusing on the role of Act in life extension, and the American pharmaceutical tycoon United Health even gave Han Qianshan a "donation" of 50 million US dollars, just to stay on the ranch for research.
The company's money was not spent in vain.
At the beginning of the year, researchers from UnitedHealth discovered a shocking secret in mice!
Humans and mice are similar in that they both have about 30,000 genes, of which only about 300 are different.
Its whole genome is very similar to that of humans, and many diseases that are difficult to cure by humans can find similar traits in mice, so that they can be experimentally found to find cure genes.
In fact, many experiments are best done with animals that are more similar to humans, such as orangutans, but it is too expensive to use orangutans, and many cognitive experiments require the animal to be dissected to check for internal changes after the end, so such experiments generally use mice and mice.
It was found that the mice that were fed with food containing Act for a long time had normal development, but they grew more slowly than the average mice after weaning, but the difference was not significant.
The rats were fed in the normal way by Allied Health's scientific experts, and their caloric expenditure and reproductive capacity were the same as those of ordinary mice.
It is worth pointing out that the average lifespan of mice has increased by about 60 percent, from more than 600 days to about three years, and female mice live longer.
The experiment was carried out for three and a half years, so it was not until the beginning of the year that this tracking research paper was published in the journal Nature, which caused a global sensation for a while, believing that the Act brings new hope for extending human life!
ACT is only available in the snow-capped mountain pastures, where the fruits, vegetables, milk, meat and other products produced are placed among the world's more than 5.8 billion people, and they are destined to become the exclusive use of a few people.
As time passed, the price of the products of the Snow Mountain Ranch became higher and higher, and the middle class could not afford them, and only the rich could eat them.
Including Bill Gates, Warren Buffett and others, they have been wholesaling vegetables and fruits from the Snow Mountain Ranch for a long time, not to mention the out-of-pocket freight, because of these foods, they still need to pay the Snow Mountain Ranch $3.5 million in procurement costs every year.
Recently, the Lianbo Palace, the British royal family, and the Middle Eastern royal family are also planning to buy food from the Snow Mountain Ranch, if they see a guest traveling to the Snow Mountain Ranch leaving happily with a large bag of wild vegetables in their bags, don't think too much, they will definitely take it home and eat it themselves.
The study of the Act was just beginning, and eating it in small quantities did not help, and some dying rich people organized a group to go to the snowy mountain ranch to charter a house, and prepared to settle there, trying to prolong their lives, including the old king of Denmark.
Money is nothing in their eyes, life is the most important, in order to rent a house, one is more willing to spend money than the other, back then the resort was just because it was fun, but I didn't expect it to become a super gold-absorbing cave now.
It's just a ranch, and last year's profit reached nearly $900 million, and there is no other place in the world that can do this except for snow-capped mountain ranches......
The news about these "elixir" ginseng spread far and wide, causing the rich in the two places to rush wildly, especially the elderly rich.
For example, Uncle Shao Liu, he called Han Xuan and asked for it all at one time, and he heard that there were a lot of them, so he was reluctant to buy sixty for the time being.
On the night of the handover ceremony, Han Xuan discussed with Old Man Wang that the ginseng could be planted again if it was gone, so he lowered the price and prepared to ship it in large quantities.
The price of ginseng in Snow Mountain Ranch is $300 per gram, which means that the price of each ginseng plant is about $100,000.
Normally, few people would buy it, but with such a high level of Act, the situation is immediately different.
After the old man Wang called the rich man he knew, the other party took away fifty sticks that night, and people came to the door one after another at night, and when someone knocked on the door again the next morning, the big boxes were all sold out.
Eu Yan Sang's name is now very popular in Hong Kong, and this matter is written in Ta Kung Pao.
Old man Wang is quite kind, he came to the door with a check yesterday and gave Han Xuan all the money he got from selling ginseng without taking a penny.
Han Xuan was not short of this money, and wanted to help his relatives' family, and planned to sell ginseng in the future and let Yu Yan Sang Dry Goods Store take 20%, but the old man refused to accept it very strongly, saying that he was slapping his old face.
In the end, Han Xuan grinded hard and hard, and the old man only promised to take half of the profit, that is, five percent......
