Happy Shennong

Chapter 114 Fierce Bidding
Although the growth cycle of Dendrobium candidum takes more than a year, it is still very fast compared to the five or six-year growth cycle of American ginseng.

Moreover, judging from past experience, using the pond water in Shennong Pagoda to irrigate can shorten the growth cycle of crops by three-quarters.Vegetables, which normally take at least a month to harvest, can be harvested in his greenhouse in just seven or eight days.If it is planted directly in the Shennong Tower, it will take even less time.

According to this calculation, if Dendrobium candidum is planted in Shennong Pagoda, it only takes four to six months to produce a high yield, which is not very long.

Although planting La Bonnnot potatoes in the same amount of time can yield more harvests, the problem is that the sales of La Bonnnot potatoes are limited. If there are too many plants, the market will not be able to digest them, and planting them will be useless.

Even if the money earned from growing Dendrobium officinale is not as much as growing vegetables, he is willing to try.

Because growing vegetables is too troublesome, and the land in the tower can't ask for help, he is alone, and sometimes he can't be busy at all.And planting Dendrobium candidum only needs to be busy once every four months.

One planting can also be harvested multiple times, which saves a lot of trouble and saves him a lot of time.

After thinking about this, Linley continued to ask: "Old Hong, do you know that there are Dendrobium candidum grown in this city?"

"Yes, in a village five kilometers away from Longteng, there is a large planting base of Dendrobium candidum. The Dendrobium candidum used in this restaurant is bought directly from other people's base." Hong Ying replied.

"Then do they sell seedlings? It's the kind you can buy and plant."

"They do all business related to Dendrobium officinale."

Linley hurriedly asked: "Old Hong, do you have the contact information of their person in charge?"

"Hmm... Xiaoyou Lin, do you want to grow Dendrobium candidum? Although it is expensive, it is very difficult to grow, and it is impossible for ordinary people to grow it. If you really have this idea, I suggest you learn it."

"How tall? How does it compare to La Bonnnot potatoes?"

Hong Ying frowned, and immediately said in relief: "I forgot about this crop. Although the cultivation of Dendrobium candidum is difficult, it is not as mysterious as La Bonnot potatoes. I think you should be able to grow it. Then what... ...You want to buy seedlings from their person in charge?"

"Yes. But not now, the land is not ready."

Hong Ying nodded, took out his mobile phone and found a number, then pushed the mobile phone in front of Linley: "This is the number. If you need it, you can give me my name. I am quite familiar with their person in charge. , he should give me some noodles."

"Okay, then I thank you in advance!"

After finding this way, Linley's meal became even more delicious...

The next day, the last day of this event, should also be the busiest day.Because more people have poured into the exhibition hall today, and a large part of them have just arrived today.

These newcomers are all here for the auction.Everyone knows that bonsai with some special features will be auctioned. Therefore, if you want to find a good bonsai, most people will choose to participate in the auction.

In particular, the auction held at such a grand event almost brings together a large part of the excellent bonsai from all over the world.

Linley once again got the favor of Zhong Wanlong and Hong Ying, and was able to get a seat in the front row of the auction site.

His two pots of bonsai both applied for auction and passed the review.The starting price was negotiated with Zhong Wanlong and Hong Ying.For the rose that won the best flower will, the starting price is set at 20.The starting price of the elm tree that won the best style award is set at [-].

During the auction, Linley was so excited that he wanted to stand up.What he didn't expect was that Zhong Wanlong and Hong Ying also participated in the auction.

He approached Zhong Wanlong first, and asked softly: "Uncle Zhong, you didn't say you wanted to auction it before you came here. I knew you wanted to buy it, so I just gave some money to take it. Why do you want to auction it?"

"No..." Zhong Wanlong shook his head, and replied softly, "Brother Hong and I are just helping you."

"Uh... so that's the case, thank you so much."

It was only then that Linley realized that the two big men had spontaneously entrusted him...

Generally speaking, the more people who participate in the bidding, the more lively the atmosphere on the scene is, and the higher the final transaction price will be.Conversely, if it is deserted, people who are originally interested in the auction item may also think that there is something wrong with this auction item, why no one likes it?
Then, the scene will become more and more deserted, and even those who originally wanted to buy it may retreat.Either at a low price, or directly pass the auction.

So sometimes, the owner of the auction item will specially invite some people to act as trustees for him, drive up the price, and entrap those bidders who don't know the inside story.

Originally, people of Zhong Wanlong and Hong Ying's level would not do this kind of thing, and they didn't bother to do such a thing.But they experienced a very novel fun from helping Linley sell the yews yesterday, and they seemed to be addicted to it, and now they are not tired of participating in the auction.

It is precisely because of their special status that no one would think that they would be someone else's entrustment.

Even as a babysitter, it is impossible to be a babysitter for something whose starting price is only tens of thousands of yuan, and it is too cheap.

Therefore, other bidders will wonder, is there really something special about this auction item?Otherwise, how could such an awesome character like him be liked?
As a result, driven by the two big figures, the atmosphere at the scene was extremely hot.Even the auctioneer was surprised, because from past experience, such a hot scene only appeared on the last few auction items in the finale.

Soon, Linley's first auction item, a rose with a starting price of 12, was raised to [-]!
Finally someone couldn't sit still anymore, and a middle-aged man on the side greeted Hong Ying with a smile: "Mr. Hong, you should be interested in the last few auction items, why are you so interested in this potted flower today?" interested?"

Hong Ying smiled and said: "Anyone who knows me knows that what I value most about flower bonsai is growth. Look at this bonsai, how good is the growth? I haven't seen such a beautiful rose for many years. How can I not?" shoot?"

"You're right. I also like this pot of roses very much. I'm going to take them home and give them to my wife. Mr. Hong, why don't you just let me do it? There are so many big ones in the back, and you will definitely be able to take more pictures." OK."

"This... It's inappropriate for us to talk about this at the auction site? Besides, besides us, there are several friends who are interested in this pot of roses."

"Ok."

The man smiled awkwardly, sat down, and held up the sign again: "I offer 15!"

As soon as this remark came out, the audience was silent.

The quotation just now was only 12, and he actually directly increased it by [-]!A price increase of [-] yuan is not a lot.Some auction items also stipulate that the price increase should not be less than [-].

The strange thing is that the starting price of the rose is only [-], and the other bidders add [-], and occasionally add [-], but never [-]!

It seems that the man is determined to take down the pot of roses. Once 15 is offered, no one will continue to bid.Hong Ying looked at Zhong Wanlong, who shook his head, and then gave Linley a very sincere look, meaning: I can only help you so far.

Linley nodded gratefully at Hong Ying.

After calling three times, the auctioneer made a final decision. Linley's rose was sold at a price of 15, which was [-] times the starting price!
And this price was fifty times what Linley paid for it when he first bought it!
The man photographed didn't seem to be interested in continuing the treasure hunt, so he got up directly, nodded at Hong Ying and said, "Boss Hong, let me go!"

"You're welcome, you deserve it." Hong Ying said with a smile.

The man nodded again, and left the stage, as if he was afraid that the pot of rose would fly away.

Half an hour later, Linley's second auction item, an elm tree with a starting price of 20 yuan, appeared.

This pot of elm is considered a large bonsai.When he bought it, the dry ones were all peeled off, and they were about to turn into dry wood.Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to win it for thousands of dollars.After he took over, in just a few months, the elm tree has changed a lot.

The intertwined roots at the bottom have become tighter and thicker, and the trunks are also twists and turns, forming a unique landscape.Under Zhong Wanlong's care, the current look is definitely full of personality and looks very comfortable.

And its biggest feature is growth, and it won the award with this biggest advantage.

Combining so many advantages in one body, the starting price will be as high as 20.

Let's not talk about the final transaction price, but the starting price is already fifty times the price when Linley bought it!

With the auctioneer's order, the auction officially began.

Hong Ying, who had already shown his face just now, once again joined the ranks of the competition.Zhong Wanlong, who had never made an offer before, also participated this time.

Linley also finally understood why Zhong Wanlong and Hong Ying hadn't spoken to each other since entering the arena, and they hadn't sat together yet, with a few rows of seats between them.It turned out that they were just for this moment, so that they could raise the price for him together, so that no one would see the clues.

Driven by their two big men, someone bid 45 soon.

Linley felt that it was almost the same, the price was more than 100 times of his purchase price.He was worried that if the promotion continued, the bonsai might really fall into their hands in the end, which would be embarrassing.

So, calmly, he began to wink at them.

But Hong Ying acted as if he hadn't seen it, and raised his sign again and shouted, "50!"

Hearing this number, Linley was taken aback, and quickly looked at Zhong Wanlong again.

Zhong Wanlong exchanged glances with him, but he didn't intend to stop, and gave him an affirmative look, which meant to reassure him.

Linley was very helpless, and after a while, someone called out 60 yuan.

Hong Ying didn't intend to let go yet, and he deliberately broke the news that the growth of this rose was better than all the bonsai he cultivated.

As soon as the news came out, the scene was once again in an uproar.Even those who didn't participate in the auction started whispering to each other.
