Ye Tian didn't have any appetite, in fact, he was also worried about the situation of the two parents meeting, for fear that something would happen.

Nervous, at half past one in the afternoon, he finally received a call from Ye Dayong.

"Ye Tian, let me tell you a good news, we talked very successfully. It has been set to find a good day at the end of this month, and I will hold an engagement ceremony for you, and invite relatives and friends to witness it, this matter is decided, and the future of our Ye family will develop rapidly, hahaha......" On the phone, Ye Dayong laughed.

Next to him, Liu Ping's laughter also sounded heartily.

For a long time, Ye Tian hadn't heard his parents laugh like this, and his hanging heart finally let go.

"The two in-laws are very talkative, although they are high-level intellectuals, they speak very calmly, just like ordinary people." Liu Ping couldn't wait to report to Ye Tian next to Ye Dayong.

"Ye Tian, your father-in-law and mother-in-law are very good, remember to bring me a gift, we ourselves were rude this time, but we forgot to bring gifts to others!" The two of them talked and laughed, and their emotions were high.

"Mom and Dad, come back quickly, come back and rest slowly."

Since things are going so well, Ye Tian is also relieved and is not in a hurry about anything.

Ye Dayong came back and spent an hour reporting all the details to Ye Tian.

What Xia Wenming and Sun Mei gave them was a box of good wine and two famous cigarettes, worth at least 5,000 yuan.

Until now, Liu Ping still feels regretful: "We are really rude, forgetting that the two parents' families are going to give gifts when they meet." Or they are thoughtful, worthy of high-level intellectuals! ”

Ye Dayong waved his hand happily: "Next time I go over, make up for them, and the two in-laws invite us to come over to play." Ye Tian, I'll give you a new task, hurry up and look at the house, we also have to buy a new house, worthy of Xia Meng. At least in the future, it will not be too embarrassing for my parents' family to visit our house! ”

He looked around at himself, the dilapidated unit, and shook his head frequently, not satisfied with anything.

"They didn't say anything about the shortcomings?"

Liu Ping shook her head: "Absolutely not, when my parents mentioned you, their faces were full of smiles, and they appreciated you very much and were very satisfied!" ”

"Ye Tian, I didn't expect people to be so optimistic about you, Dean Sun said that she knew that you would have a bright future in the future, and so many middle-level leaders in the central hospital all gave you a thumbs up when they mentioned you, proving that you are a person who does things and has won the hearts of the people. Dean Xia said that the bitcoin report you made for Jinling University won the national gold award, set a record for Jinling University, and has been put on the school's honor list. The School of Entrepreneurship has also reserved a position for you as the vice dean, just waiting for you to work. There are so many good things, why don't you say it when you usually come back? ”

Ye Tian listened to his parents' counts, and his heart was sweet.

He has made a lot of achievements, and relayed it to Ye Dayong and Liu Ping from the mouths of Sun Mei and Xia Wenming, and his parents are even happier, otherwise it will become boastful.

Ye Dayong and Liu Ping were so happy that they couldn't close their mouths, walked around, and refused to sit down.

It wasn't until the end, both of them said that they were tired and went back to the bedroom to rest, and the house was quiet.

Ye Tian searched for today's Jinling Daily and saw those two auction announcements.

On the Internet, many people left messages, full of praise for the Niujiaoling Panshan Highway, and suggested that only advertisements produced by large international companies could stay there, and those chaotic tourism advertisements in ordinary times did not qualify for this at all.

They call the Niujiaoling winding mountain road a face of Jinling, and they believe that foreigners will also take Niujiaoling as one of the stops when they travel to Jinling in the future.

Some people also mentioned Wolong Mountain below Niujiaoling, and then suggested that these billboards could be extended all the way to Wolong Mountain, and the track road could also circle Wolong Mountain. In short, no matter how bold people are and how productive they are, we must not let our imagination be limited by the barriers of reality.

As for the auction announcement of the roots, there were few responders, and ordinary consumers simply did not understand the huge potential of the root carving market.

They thought that the price of a few broken tree roots was so high that they simply did not treat RMB as money.

Perhaps in the eyes of the common people, tree roots are innate, and they should not ask for money at all, and should be given free to those who like the art of root carving.

Looking at these comments, Ye Tian knew in his heart.

The real big buyers don't have time to look at this at all, and they immediately pay for what they like, and never hesitate.

Just finished reading the auction announcement, he received a call from Shen Zhengnan.

"Ye Tian, you have no credibility, you have gone back on your word, you have decided to cooperate with me in the root carving project of Wolong Mountain, why do you want to issue an auction announcement?"

Shen Zhengnan was very angry and felt that he had been deceived by Ye Tian.

Ye Tian had previously talked to Shen Zhengnan about the root carving project, but the other party was not sure that he wanted to take the project down, so Ye Tiancai asked the auction company to intervene and conduct the auction.

"Mr. Shen, I posted the announcement because you never replied to me before, do you want to cooperate?"

"Of course, we have to work together, but I have to look at the profitability of this project." Shen Zhengnan argued.

"What are the results of the expedition now?"

Shen Zhengnan smiled and did not give a positive answer.

"Once these projects are put up for auction, the price doubles, and then the profit is not so high." Shen Zhengnan sighed.

Ye Tian gave him a chance, but he didn't seize it, and now it is really unreasonable for Xingshi to ask for guilt.

"Mr. Shen, an announcement has just been issued now, if you want to cooperate, we can renegotiate."

"How?"

"We can pull out of the auction, but you have to invest in it."

Shen Zhengnan does things, he doesn't scatter eagles when he doesn't see rabbits, last time the two participated in a mysterious auction together, Shen Zhengnan did the same, first used Ye Tian's money as a foreshadowing, and finally made a move.

"Ye Tian, I mean, you withdraw from the auction first, and we will discuss how much the roots of the entire Wolong Mountain are worth?"

"How much is the root worth, there is already a reserve price on the auction announcement."

Shen Zhengnan laughed: "That reserve price is too high!" ”

Ye Tian felt that Shen Zhengnan had no sincerity in negotiating, so he had to tell him: "Mr. Shen, if you want to reach the cooperation of the tree roots, hurry up and invest in place, according to the price we gave." If you don't like it, go to auction and play fair. I'm sure you'll be surprised and realize how much profit you're missing! ”

He had already given Shen Zhengnan a lot of face, but the other party didn't care, he just felt that it was a matter of course to take the root project of Wolong Mountain.

"Ye Tian, we have made an agreement in advance, if you sneak away from the auction company like this, you will not be credible!"

Ye Tian was keenly aware that the other party must have something in mind.

"Mr. Shen, please tell the truth, don't beat around the bush, everyone's time is precious."

Shen Zhengnan smiled: "That's true, then I have something to say, I have all the roots of Wolong Mountain, and don't let any of them flow out." The last time Zhu Zhenhai gave out one, it was already in my hands. ”

Ye Tian believes that as long as the other party has a goal, he will definitely be able to afford the price. No matter how high the price is, it is also within the range of the other party's receiver.

"Mr. Shen, then we will re-sign the written agreement."

Shen Zhengnan laughed: "A verbal agreement between you and me is enough, do you still need a written agreement?" It doesn't have to be so grand, it's just a small matter of hundreds of millions. ”

"Of course, I have to sign the agreement, Mr. Shen, and I want to tell you that these roots have attracted the attention of more than 400 root carvings and merchants around the world, and they have sent emails hoping to participate in fair competition. If you can't settle down for a long time, you will have to go to the auction in the end, and everyone will compete fairly. ”

Ye Tian was not surprised to receive this call, but Shen Zhengnan's tone was always flickering, which made him a little alert.

"Ye Tian, I actually want to help you win this project, and also to save you worry. These tree roots are all drilled into the rocks, and it is quite troublesome to dig them out completely, almost turning over the northern part of Wolong Mountain, which is a big project, and my investment is also very high. ”

Ye Tian immediately decided: "Mr. Shen, then I won't be reluctant, the root carving family knows how difficult it is to dig tree roots from the mountain, and they all have intentions, which proves that this project is profitable." Then I'll sell it to them, let's not contact them. ”

His tone was so tough, which greatly surprised Shen Zhengnan's expectations.

In the past, Ye Tian was with him and respected him very much, but now he is unceremonious.

"Ye Tian, you calm down first, if you want to sell these roots, you must know where their value is. If you blindly follow the auction format and auction them out as a whole, you will regret it. Think about it, this is a thousand-year-old root, how precious are the rings of those lives? ”

"Mr. Shen, I'm really busy and have limited time, if you can't get to the point, we'll talk about it another day."

Shen Zhengnan laughed again: "Of course I will get to the point. I just want to tell you that every root has its own value, and if you sell it in a package, it's stupid, of course I can go to the auction, collect it all for a large sum of money, and then slowly develop it. At that time, I am afraid that you will regret it and put up all kinds of obstacles to get these roots back. ”

Ye Tian didn't have such an idea, he was more inclined to dig out the roots, level the land, and cultivate high-grade medicinal materials, which became the second profit growth point of Wolong Mountain.

"Alright, Mr. Shen, we'll stop here." He hung up, a little depressed.

The other party called to ask for the crime, but the words were vague, so that he couldn't hear the point.

In this case, you can only wait patiently for the auction to come.

He has always felt that Shen Zhengnan is a big man and has his own unique views on everything.

Now Shen Zhengnan's phone call is headless and brainless, which is really depressing.

He hid in his bedroom alone, consulted the Internet, and got acquainted with more information.

Soon he found that, as he had said to Zhu Zhenhai before, the value of tree roots of different materials was completely different.

This time, they didn't have time to tell what kind of roots were buried, so they pushed them to auction, which was indeed a bit reckless, but fortunately only set the reserve price, and did not specify how much each tree root was, and they could still make a fuss about it.

When he saw those priceless rosewood roots and Bodhi roots on the Internet, he felt that he was almost ruined and sold these things as ordinary wood.

Rosewood was first discovered in India and is respected by the Chinese.

Since the Shang and Zhou dynasties, it has become a good furniture material for the court. So far, it has become the world's top furniture material.

Most famously, the Shokain Temple in Nara, Japan, preserves the Emperor's artifacts, including the rosewood artifacts given to the Emperor during the Tang Dynasty in China.

Rosewood roots are quite rare, and in India, even if a large tree is cut down, its roots will always be retained and will not be excavated.

The linden tree was first seen in Thailand, Sikkim, India, and wild varieties in the Himalayas. Legend has it that more than 2,000 years ago, the Buddha Shakyamuni cultivated under the Bodhi tree to achieve positive fruits, so in India, whether it is Hinduism, Buddhism or Jainism, the Bodhi tree is regarded as a "sacred tree", and the Bodhi tree is protected as a "national treasure".

With so many excellent roots, once sold in their entirety, it will cause a big mess in the timber world.

Fortunately, there was Shen Zhengnan's phone call, which gave him a wake-up call and asked him to brake in time and re-examine this problem.
