Happy Shennong

Chapter 111
As soon as Linley and Zhong Wanlong heard the word "queen plum", they knew that the one who won the silver award must be Hong Ying.

To be able to win a silver medal at such a grand event is enough to make a pot of bonsai and also the master of a bonsai.

Judging from previous grand events, as long as the top ten works participate in the auction, there will be no unsold situation, let alone the one-in-a-million silver award works, and they will usually be sold at a price of one million .

Originally, this was a happy thing, but Hong Ying had a gloomy face at this time, obviously unhappy.

Both Linley and Zhong Wanlong didn't touch that brow either.At this point, they didn't know what to say.They all knew that Hong Ying came for the gold medal this time, and he had full confidence.

But in the end, it was actually one step away from the gold medal.

On the stage, four staff members carefully carried a pot of bird plum onto the stage.

Linley took a look and confirmed that it was indeed brought by Hong Ying.

"How could this happen?" Hong Ying stared sullenly at his pot of sparrow plums, and said in astonishment, "Could it be that there will be a dark horse in this event?"

Before the grand event started, although Hong Ying would not bribe the judges, he also asked the relevant management personnel to understand the general situation of the exhibited works.In his opinion, there is no work that can compare with his bird plum.

But the result was before his eyes, that someone surpassed him.

Faced with this unexpected situation, the only thing he could think of was the appearance of a dark horse.

Linley hesitated several times before he opened his mouth: "Old Hong, the silver award is not bad. As far as I know, the total number of flowers and bonsai exhibited in this grand event is over a thousand, and they were selected once. Most people are far away from the award. What's more, what you have won is a silver award that is less than a thousand pots."

Hong Ying rubbed his cheeks, smiled awkwardly and said, "I'm sorry, I made you laugh. I don't think the silver award is bad, but I'm thinking, whose work can win the gold award?"

"Huh?" Zhong Wanlong turned his head, smiled and asked, "Brother Hong, can you really accept this result?"

"Brother Zhong, you don't know me yet? We are all over the top, why haven't we seen such a big storm before, and we can still be so small that we can't hold our heads up?"

Hong Ying waved his hand and said, "Anyway, it's enough to win you. The silver award is the silver award. It's not like I won the silver award. When the Podocarpus pine won the first prize, I also won the silver award. Maybe it's God's will, today's pot Luo Hansong appeared and suppressed my momentum."

"It's good if you can think about it. But everything is possible, you have to be mentally prepared. In case the gold award is mine later, don't be so angry that you vomit blood."

"Don't worry, if you really win the gold award, I'll transfer the money to you immediately without delay! But...it depends on whether you can win this opportunity."

Zhong Wanlong shrugged his shoulders: "Anyway, I'm an amateur. To win the best modeling award is already an affirmation of my ability to create bonsai shapes. For the rest, I don't force it. It depends on God's will."

"Brother Zhong, just try to hurt me in a different way. Don't talk about it, the gold award is about to be announced!"

Hong Ying stood upright against the stage.

Linley and Zhong Wanlong also maintained the same movements.Which work is it that can become the top card of this grand event and make its finale appearance?

The vice president also used such a gimmick to arouse the curiosity of the audience.

He intentionally waited until the audience began to whisper to each other, then he pressed his hand down, cleared his throat and said, "Okay, now let's welcome the gold award work of this grand event together. The winner is a pot of real cypress !"

Linley's heart trembled. Although he had already guessed that the gold award might be taken away by Zhong Wanlong, when he heard the word "Zhenbai", he couldn't help being excited, and secretly looked at Zhong Wanlong and Hong Ying. .

At this time, Zhong Wanlong maintained a faint smile as always, with a calm expression on his face.

Hong Ying looked hopeful, obviously impatient to see the true appearance of the gold award works.

Soon, another four staff members carried an eighty-centimeter-high real cypress onto the stage.Linley fixed his gaze for the first time, but he couldn't take his eyes back.At this moment, he really wanted to shout out to express his inner excitement.

Because that pot of true cypress was brought by Zhong Wanlong!
At the beginning, he bought it from Fuguichun, and cultivated it for a while, so it can be seen at a glance, and it can be completely confirmed.Although the award-winning work is not under his name, he can say responsibly that Shinbaku's award is inseparable from him.

If it wasn't for him, the pot of real cypresses would probably have turned into a pile of dry wood...

More importantly, Zhenbai helped Zhong Wanlong win the bet with Hong Ying.In other words, his 100 million is about to become 200 million!

You don't need to look at anything, just move your lips, and you can earn 100 million in a day!For him, it was a great thing.

Happiness comes so suddenly!

Hong Ying was a little unbalanced at first, thinking that the judges had misread it, or there was some inside story that he didn't know about, or something like a secret operation.So I was eager to see Zhenbai, and I verified my guess.

Now that he finally saw it, the doubts in his heart were instantly dispelled.

Because he found that the pot of true cypress on the stage was comparable to his bird plum in terms of shape and age.The growth of Shinbai seems to be better than his bird plum!
Growth is his strong point, and this time he actually got the upper hand in his own advantageous project!
"Hey..." Hong Ying sighed with a wry smile, "I'm already so old, I still want to let me feel that there are people who are beyond human beings and those who are beyond heaven.

Zhong Wanlong said with a smile: "Brother Hong, believe it or not, that pot of real cypress belongs to this old man?"

"hiss……"

Hong Ying was stunned for a second, then recovered quickly, shook his head and said, "I don't believe it. When I saw you a year ago, you didn't have real cypresses in your house. And the shape and growth of the pot of real cypresses on the stand, It is definitely not something that can be cultivated in a short period of time. In my opinion, it will take at least five years! Otherwise, it will definitely not be able to reach the current level. Therefore, it is impossible for him to be brought by you."

"Then write down the plate number." When Zhong Wanlong was speaking, the vice president was announcing the real cypress plate number and the basic parameters of the real cypress on the stage.Length, width and height, year, meaning and so on.

Hong Ying nodded: "[-], I remember, what's wrong?"

Zhong Wanlong took out a receipt from his pocket and handed it over: "Then look at this again..."

Hong Ying didn't know why, but he still took the slip and glanced at it first: "Brother Zhong, let me see this... Hey, why is this happening? Why is the plate number [-] on your slip?" superior?"

"What do you think? You already have the answer in your heart, but you just don't want to admit it, right?"

Hong Ying rubbed his chin, and suddenly his eyes widened: "Is that real cypress really yours?"

"If it's a fake replacement."

"How did this happen? Aren't you just proficient in modeling? No...you planned it long ago. When I went last time, you deliberately hid this pot of real cypress, right?"

Zhong Wanlong shrugged: "Transfer the money first, and then I'll give you the details when I go back to the hotel."

"Ok."

Hong Ying didn't deny it, and was willing to admit defeat. On the way back to the hotel, he transferred the money to the cards of Lin Lei and Zhong Wanlong, 100 million each, which was nothing to a person of his level.

After returning to the hotel, Zhong Wanlong was straightforward, and he didn't make a fool of himself. He recounted how and when he got the real cypress, and how he cultivated it afterwards.

In the process of telling the story, he only mentioned himself a few times, and mentioned Linley more.From the outsiders' ears, it was Linley who was the biggest contributor to the gold award for that pot of real cypress, not him.

Hong Ying had been listening earnestly. After listening, he couldn't calm down for a long time.

At this moment, the way he looked at Linley changed.If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed that under Linley's training, a pot of shinbashi that was dying would be able to radiate vigorous vitality within three months.

He was amazed by Linley's attainments in bonsai!
While marveling, he felt a little more balanced in his heart.Because he knew that Zhenbai was not cultivated by Zhong Wanlong alone.

When Hong Ying's mood calmed down a bit, Zhong Wanlong put away his smiling face and said solemnly: "Brother Hong, in fact, this time I am here, apart from participating in the grand event, I also want to talk to you about a business. Or rather, I want to Please do me a favor."

"Brother Zhong, you just fooled me with my money, and you still want me to help?" Hong Ying waved his hand, "No!"

Zhong Wanlong knew that Hong Ying was joking, so he was not angry, and said calmly: "Brother Hong, if you are willing to help me with this favor, it will definitely bring you ten times and a hundred times the profit."

"If there is such a good business, why don't you do it yourself?" Hong Ying asked in bewilderment.

"The business that the old man mentioned is related to catering. But for the time being, the old man's contacts and influence in the catering industry are very thin, and he cannot fully digest this big business."

Linley also guessed that when Zhong Wanlong said he could help him sell La Bonnnot potatoes, he probably asked Hong Ying for help.The Hongying Group spread all over the country, and it is the largest catering company in the country. It consumes thousands of gold high-grade potatoes without any problems.

Although this is an initiative to send business to Hong Ying, he must have a regular supplier, and whether he is willing to buy more potatoes depends on his consideration.

Hong Ying was already interested, nodded and said, "Brother Zhong, tell me first, what kind of business is it?"

"Brother Hong, how many La Bonnot potatoes can you buy a month now?" Zhong Wanlong asked.

"Two hundred catties."

"Is it enough?"

"Two hundred catties, not even enough for my restaurant in this city..."

"Hehe, what if the old man could provide you with a ton, or more, of La Bonnnot potatoes every month?"

Hong Ying's eyes suddenly widened; "One ton? Brother Zhong, are you kidding me? Where did you get so many potatoes?"

Zhong Wanlong smiled and looked at Linley: "Brother Hong is one of our own, let's tell him the truth."
