Chapter 45: Su Mei
Wuyishan Dahongpao is the most famous tea in Wuyishan and is known as the "King of Teas". It grows on a steep rock wall in Jiulong Nest. According to the evaluation of the tea master, Dahongpao tea has not lost its true flavor of the original tea after brewing it for 9 times - the fragrance of osmanthus. As for other famous teas, the taste will be very weak after brewing it for 7 times.
There are three or six Dahongpao mother trees growing in the Jiulongnese Scenic Area of Wuyi Mountain, with a history of more than 360 years.
The mother tree is specially guarded by local workers and scientifically managed. Every spring, 3-4 leaves of new shoots with open faces are picked, sun-green, cooled, cooked, fried, first kneaded, re-fried, re-kneaded, roasted in water, winnowed, cooled, picked and roasted again , then winnowing and adding fire to make it. Dahongpao’s annual output in the best years is less than one pound of finished tea.
Today, the three original tea trees of Dahongpao are still at the bottom of the Kowloon Nest. Due to the extremely rare production, the three tea trees produce only six or seven taels of tea per year. So it is impossible to buy it on the market.
The first generation of Dahongpao was cut from the branches cut from three mother trees during pruning. Don't think there will be many, because the mother tree is very old and may not be rebuilt once a year, so this generation of Dahongpao is also extremely rare.
After seeing that everyone below had already drank tea, the hostess spoke: "The first auction item below is the Dahongpao that everyone has tasted. It weighs half a catty and the starting price is 200,000."
As the female auctioneer finished speaking, many people began to bid.
"250000"
"300000"
"400000"
. . . . . .
In the end, Dahongpao was bought by a wealthy local from Hong Kong Island for 650,000.
The female auctioneer continued to introduce, "The following item is a wild ginseng from the Changbai Mountains. The ginseng is 80 years old. The starting price is 1 million."
The popularity of ginseng is obviously higher than that of tea, and its price is rising rapidly.
1.5 million
1.55 million
1.65 million
. . . . . .
2 million
The last rich man from Southeast Asia bought the ginseng.
One item after another was photographed, and Ye Yuan also saw that the assets of these rich people could be said to be spent heavily.
Seeing his double-headed bow on the stage, Ye Yuan couldn't help but sit up straight.
"Double-headed abalone, I don't need to introduce it. The number of double-headed abalone auctioned this time is unprecedentedly large, 5 double-headed abalone."
Yes, there are 5. In the chat last night, Ma Mingyuan suggested Ye Yuan not to auction too many double-headed abalones, because it would easily mess up the price of double-headed abalones. Henghai Group will use these extra abalones. The average purchase price of 5 abalones in this auction.
As long as someone buys it, Ye Yuan certainly doesn't mind who he sells it to and readily agrees.
The first double-headed abalone has been placed on the auction table. The host continued to introduce, "This is a double-headed abalone provided by Mainland Yuwan Seafood, weighing 398 grams."
“The starting price for abalone is 400,000 yuan.”
As soon as the words fell, a Hong Kong star made a bid
"450,000"
Then a European rich man also made an offer
"550,000"
"600000"
"630,000"
...
In the end, Ye Yuan's first two-headed abalone was bought by a wealthy European man for 650,000.
Immediately, one abalone after another was taken away, and all five double-headed abalones were sold. Ye Yuan estimated in his mind that five abalones would be sold for 3.5 million.
Because five consecutive double-headed abalones were all sold at good prices, there was a little noise in the venue. At this time, the only one-headed abalone was brought to the display stand. The female host cleared her throat and said:
"Now is the moment that everyone has been waiting for. As we all know, abalone rarely appears in the history of Hong Kong Island. Today we are fortunate to witness a history. Today's abalone is not a simple abalone. Its weight has exceeded The standard for a head of abalone is less than 621 grams, and the price is as low as 1 million, please bid!”
The host does not need to introduce the preciousness of a head of abalone. No one who can sit here does not know its price.
"1.3 million"
"1.38 million"
"1.4 million"
As soon as the hostess finished speaking, three people made bids in succession. Ye Yuan found that many rich people were looking at the emperor's abalone and were ready to make a move.
"1.5 million"
At this time, a local rich man from Hong Kong Island gave this price.
"1.8 million"
Then a royal family in the Middle East also gave the price.
"1.9 million"
The local guy on Hong Kong Island continues to increase prices
"2 million"
There was a small voice, but everyone in the room heard it. This voice came from a relatively far back position. A blond-haired, blue-eyed European made an offer.
"2.1 million"
"2.3 million"
I thought the price was very high, but several people made bids one after another. In the end, the abalone was sold to the Middle Eastern royal family, but the price reached a sky-high price of 3.05 million.
Ye Yuan didn't pay much attention to the subsequent auction. Although 3.05 million was not the largest income at one time, there were still many such abalones in Ye Yuan's space.
After the auction, Ma Mingyuan found Ye Yuan and wrote a check to him. Ye Yuan signed the transfer agreement, and the abalone left at the auction belonged to Ma Mingyuan.
"It's a pleasure to cooperate, and congratulations to Mr. Ye for making a huge fortune in this auction." Ma Mingyuan did not forget to congratulate Ye Yuan.
"Let's all get rich," Ye Yuan replied in a decent manner.
Wang Yueshan also came over at this time, "Congratulations, brother Ye, this time you have made me envious of you, with a total income of 16 million."
Ye Yuan knew what Wang Yueshan meant when he said this, because he was afraid that he would not be able to provide the abalone he had promised before.
"Brother Shan, don't say that. What I promised you will not change. I will sell you 10 of them at the lowest price of 600,000 each. Are you satisfied?"
"Thanks bro"
Wang Yueshan was in a good mood. You must know that Henghai Group only has 700,000 yuan, so he saved 1 million without doing anything.
Just when the two people were joking with each other, a pleasant voice came over.
"Sir, your accent sounds like he's from Landao, right?"
Ye Yuan looked back, and saw a young woman in her thirties, with makeup on her face that gave off a noble look, appearing behind them.
Wang Yueshan smiled bitterly
"I didn't expect that Boss Su is such a capable person. You found us all here. Now that we're here, let's go over there and have a drink." Wang Yueshan knew Su Mei's reason for coming and didn't say anything mean. He took Su Mei and Ye Yuan directly. Come to the coffee shop on the side.
Through Wang Yueshan's introduction, Ye Yuan knew that the beautiful young woman in front of him was actually the current helmsman of Landao Fuxiangju, and he greeted her warmly.
"Mr. Wang, I don't like to beat around the bush and I speak a bit straight. Don't mind. I guess this brother is the one who provides you with the best seafood, right?"
Wang Yueshan thought about Su Mei's purpose, but he didn't expect Su Mei to be so direct.
"Yes, his name is Ye Yuan, and his home is in Pinghai County under your Blue Island." Wang Yueshan couldn't hide and introduced Ye Yuan directly to Su Mei.
"Oh? Pinghai County, that's a coincidence. The supplier I signed a few days ago is also from your Pinghai County. It is said that his family is the best in your Pinghai County," Su Mei said in surprise.
"I wonder who Mr. Su's supplier is?" Ye Yuan also became curious.
"Don't call me Mr. Su. If you respect me, just call me Sister Su." After saying this, Su Mei looked at Ye Yuan with her big eyes open.
Ye Yuan touched his nose in embarrassment, "Sister Su, don't call me Mr. Ye from now on. Just call me Xiao Yuan. Everyone calls me that."
I have to say that Su Mei is a woman with very strong relationship skills.
"Okay, I'll call you Xiaoyuan from now on. I heard that my supplier is very famous in your place. His name is Zhang Gui. Does Xiaoyuan recognize him?"
