Happy Shennong

Chapter 110 The Big Winner

Hong Ying naturally understood what Xiao Li meant. He looked at Zhong Wanlong and Lin Lei before continuing to say to Xiao Li, "And then?"

"Excuse me, do you have a way to bring Luo Hansong back to life?" Xiao Li asked back.

"If there is, what should we do? If not, what should we do?"

"If there is, then we can conduct a transaction. You help me restore the vitality of the Podocarpus pine, and I will pay you. The price is negotiable. If you want to buy it and restore it to life, it is also possible. But in that case, the asking price The initiative is in my hands. If you don't have a way to bring him back to life, then our conversation today is over. If after three days, I haven't found someone who can bring him back to life, and If you are still willing to buy it, we will discuss it in detail later.”

"Sorry, let's talk about it in three days."

"it is good."

Hong Ying left a business card for Xiao Li, thanked the vice president, and left the exhibition hall with Zhong Wanlong and Lin Lei.

Back at the Greenland Hotel, the three of them gathered in Zhong Wanlong's room. Hong Ying sent someone to deliver sumptuous snacks and fruits, as well as tea and drinks. This was a treatment that ordinary customers could not enjoy.

Hong Ying took a sip of his tea and asked curiously, "Brother Zhong, you haven't told me why you want to buy that pot of Podocarpus pine. Can you tell me the reason directly this time?"

"Sorry, I really can't answer you about this matter." Zhong Wanlong cast his gaze on Linley.

Hong Ying was stunned: "No way! Xiaoyou Lin, could it be...you want to buy it?"

Linley nodded: "I have this idea, but, as Uncle Zhong said just now, it depends on the price."

"Then I'm even more puzzled. If Brother Zhong wants to buy it, I can understand that he wants to collect it. But Lin Xiaoyou, at such a young age, you obviously haven't reached the point where you can play bonsai for fun."

"Uh... I haven't reached that level either. All I can say is that I'm a businessman. Mr. Hong, if someone can restore that pot of Podocarpus pine to life, and it's full of life, how much is it worth?" money?"

"If life is not temporary, at least 600 million! If it catches up with the auction six years ago, it may be even higher, because I will also participate in the auction."

"Oh? So, if you bring it back to life, you want to buy it too?"

"The only thing I don't like about the Podocarpus pine is that it doesn't grow well, that is, it looks lifeless. If it has life, I will naturally fight for it. Of course, I will not let others slaughter it. Lin Xiaoyou , do you have a way?"

Linley waved his hand and said with a wry smile, "I have a certain method, but it's not universal. I've done similar experiments before, with some successes and some failures. I'll find a way to buy that pot of Podocarpus pine , Study hard for a few days before we can confirm whether it can be done. Mr. Hong, why don’t you help me get it, the price is naturally as low as possible. If I can’t do it, it will be regarded as a failure of the investment .If I do it, and I don’t participate in the auction, I will transfer it to you for 600 million, how about it?"

"Deal!" Hong Ying slapped his thigh to finalize the matter.

……

At six o'clock in the evening, Linley and his party arrived at the exhibition hall again.

The table for the morning meeting hadn't been removed yet. At this time, the front of the stage was already crowded with people, and as far as the eye could see, it was dark and full of heads.

People of Zhong Wanlong's and Hong Ying's level would definitely not be able to squeeze through the crowd like ordinary people.A sharp-eyed staff member had spotted Hong Ying and brought him to the side of the judging panel.There are several rows of stools for distinguished guests.

Both Lin Lei and Zhong Wanlong took Hong Ying's favor and found a seat to sit down.

The pregnant vice president who met in the morning was spitting on the stage, praising the event.It is said that the exhibited works have reached an unprecedented scale, and the quality of the exhibited works has also made a qualitative leap compared to before. Anyway, it is to create momentum for this grand event.

After waiting for nearly 10 minutes, I finally got to the point and started announcing the award-winning works.

The vice president started with a single award. It is worth mentioning that the winner of the Best Modeling Award was a banyan tree.

When the staff brought the bonsai to the stage to show everyone, Linley's eyes lit up, and he turned to Zhong Wanlong and said, "Uncle Zhong, is that banyan tree yours? Congratulations!"

Because the owners of some bonsai do not like to show their faces, the vice president only announces the label number and type of the award-winning works, and will not announce the owner.

After listening to Lin Lei's words, Hong Ying knew about Zhong Wanlong's award.

After congratulating him, he added: "Brother Zhong, it's not bad. That banyan tree should be the best pot you brought, right? Although it won an award, it's too low. As long as my bird plum can rank If you enter the top ten, even if you only get the Excellence Award, you will be able to beat you. Haha..."

"It's not the last moment, who knows what will happen? It's not certain that your bird will fail."

Zhong Wanlong didn't refute or explain, but still kept a faint smile.

At this time, the vice president said excitedly to the microphone: "The next thing to be announced is the Best Style Award. This style, to put it bluntly, is growth. The winner of this award is a pot of elm. Everyone please Look……"

Linley's heart warmed up when he heard that, among the three bonsai he brought, there was an elm tree.Although his pot of elms was not the only one exhibited, he was still a little excited and had a little expectation in his heart.

He straightened his back, opened his eyes wide, and followed the gesture of the vice president to look over.Another two staff members moved the award-winning works up.

Seeing this, Linley's eyeballs were about to fall down.

Because, that pot of elm is indeed his!

For a moment, his excited mind was in a mess, and he even couldn't believe his eyes.After the vice president announced the sign number, he pinched his arm again.Stimulated by the pain, he regained his composure and finally accepted this fact.

"Xiao Lei, congratulations, it's rare to win an award for the first time participating in the exhibition!" Zhong Wanlong laughed.

Hong Ying also widened his eyes: "Little friend Lin, did you cultivate that elm tree?"

"Well... I guess it was cultivated by me and Uncle Zhong. To be precise, Uncle Zhong has paid much more than me. Therefore, this honor also belongs to Uncle Zhong!"

"Not bad, I like your potted elm tree very much. Its style is definitely second to none among its kind of bonsai! Now that you have won another prize, if you participate in the auction the day after tomorrow, it will probably fetch a higher price!"

Linley nodded: "I hope so. Mr. Hong, where is your bonsai? Has it appeared?"

"Come on, come on..."

While talking, the vice president has already awarded the best flower award, and the winner is a pot of rose.

Chinese rose is known as the queen of flowers, also known as Yueyuehong, and it blooms very beautifully.It is also an evergreen flower that blooms in all seasons, so it is very popular and often appears in various flower selection lists.

These things, Linley was scratching his head at the time, and had checked them online.But what he didn't expect was that this pot of roses was actually his too!

Even though he had already pinched himself once to confirm that it was not a dream, he was still in a trance after hearing the news.

Just like what Zhong Wanlong said just now, there are very few winners who win the exhibition for the first time.And the one who can win two awards for the first time in the exhibition, he is still the No.1 in history, creating a precedent!

Zhong Wanlong was astonished, and said in a daze: "Amazing, Xiaolei, you really didn't come in vain this time! If you announce the details of the award, with this halo, even if you switch to bonsai now, you will still be able to do it! There will be a lot of money to be made!"

"Little friend Lin is really hiding something..." Hong Ying also said with emotion, "You are so good, and you still say you don't know anything about bonsai?"

"This... I really know very little. I have only been in this industry for three months, and it's only occasionally. It's not a serious business at all." Linley explained truthfully.

Hong Ying blushed: "Then if you took it seriously, wouldn't you have pushed us old antiques away?"

"Don't dare, you are a leading figure in this industry, and no one can replace your position."

Hong Ying turned to Zhong Wanlong again and said: "Yesterday you said that you came with Lin Xiaoyou. I didn't believe it at the time, but now I believe it. Lin Xiaoyou's gains are already more than yours. You have guessed this result a long time ago. That's why I said that on purpose to soften my embarrassment, right?"

"Uh... this old man is just telling the truth, haha." Zhong Wanlong still didn't respond positively, "Let's see the results first, maybe you will meet someone you are interested in, so you can bookmark it."

Hong Ying nodded and looked at it seriously again.

Soon, the individual awards were announced, and the vice president began to announce the top ten in the comprehensive selection.Or from bottom to top, starting with the Excellence Award.

Hong Ying's bonsai finally appeared and won an Excellence Award.With his legs crossed and his beard stroking, he said with a half-smile, "Brother Zhong, it seems...you have already lost."

"Don't worry, I still have two pots that haven't appeared yet." Zhong Wanlong finally answered directly.

"Even if you still have two pots, don't forget that my bird plum hasn't appeared yet."

"Brother Hong, smash the door and wait and see..."

After Linley won two awards, there will be no further articles.He also has a pot of yew, which is a small bonsai. In this case, there is really no advantage, and it is reasonable to be buried.

Zhong Wanlong's bonsai did not appear in the list of excellence awards.

Next, we finally entered the most critical moment today, announcing the top three entries of this exhibition!

The vice president emphasized that the one who won the bronze award was the only one who announced the name of the owner of the bonsai. It turned out to be a foreign friend.Although the grand prize was taken away by foreigners, the audience still gave warm applause.No way, their bonsai are really good.

Before announcing the results of each of the top three, the vice-chairman will give a strong exaggeration.

After all, the top three are the face of this event.Whether this grand event can get a good response depends on whether these three seed players can get unanimous recognition and publicity.

After talking for a full 5 minutes, the vice president finally got back to the topic: "The one who won the silver award in this event is a pot of sparrow plum!"
