Chapter 38: The Address of the Treasure Exhibition

Wu Chengde was dumbfounded.

He did not expect Yang Dianfeng to not fall for his trick.

Moreover, he was really knowledgeable. He knew that the plant was an Augustus.

“Teacher, is it possible that he read about it in a book?” asked the assistant.

“That’s impossible. He must have known about it from the very beginning. He might be the current inheritor of Augustus.

“There are no records of this cactus in any book, other than some ancient books. However, these ancient books that recorded the extravagance of the royal family have long been destroyed.

“Moreover, he clearly knows how to breed Augustus.

“He isn’t as simple as he looks, definitely not a loser.”

After long consideration, he said, “Now, it’s obvious that I won’t be able to swallow the Augustus for my own benefit. Just like a snake swallowing an elephant, a human’s heart rarely feels content. One second ago, I was still worried about not having a treasure to display at the International Exhibition Center.

“However, now that I’ve identified a treasure, I want it for myself. Greed is indeed the sin of mankind.”

Wu Chengde sighed and dialed the phone again.

Yang Dianfeng was going insane at the sight of another phone call.

“Are you f*cking done yet?”

Wu Chengde’s mouth twitched. No one would ever dare to talk to him like that. However, he had no choice but to lower himself.

“Mr. Yang, how about this. I have a favor to ask of you. China will be hosting a large-scale Rare Treasures Exhibition and people from all around the world will participate in this exhibition.

“So, I would like to take your cactus…”

“No way. Anything else?”

“No, no… Mr. Yang, don’t hang up yet. Let’s have a proper conversation.

“How about this? The exhibition will be on display for three days. I’ll rent your cactus and also provide you with a ticket to the exhibition. What do you think?”

“Rent?”

He had heard of car renters and apartment renters, though flower renters were a first for him.

However, this was easy money. Yang Dianfeng would never miss out on such an opportunity.

“Okay, tell me the price. If it’s too low, then let’s forget about it and don’t ever call me ever again.”

Yang Dianfeng told him straightforwardly.

On the other side, Wu Chengde suddenly became nervous.

He had no reference for the amount of money he should pay.

He did not dare to rashly decide on a figure.

At that moment, his beautiful assistant raised one finger.

Professor Wu Chengde clenched his teeth and said, “Mr. Yang, how about ten million a day?”

The assistant almost fainted.

‘Brother, how rich do you have to be to rent the cactus for ten million a day?’

Yang Dianfeng was silent for three seconds.

‘He’s really rich. I’ll never understand the rich people world.

‘He suggested ten million yuan right off the bat.’

“Alright, deal. I’ll send you my account number. Send me the money now.”

Yang Dianfeng said and hung up the phone.

Wu Chengde finally let out a sigh of relief.

“Professor, are you crazy? Ten million yuan a day?!”

“Sigh. If I suggested a lower figure, what if he isn’t satisfied with it? We don’t have any rare treasures that can showcase the splendor of China.”

The assistant immediately fell silent. She made several clicks on the computer and immediately transferred 30 million yuan to Yang Dianfeng.

Yang Dianfeng looked at the notification on his phone and cursed in his heart, ‘It’s so easy to earn money now. In the past, I’ve been living like a dog, worrying about money every day.’

..

At this moment, China, or even the entire world’s collection, was secretly in turmoil.

Wutong City, in the meeting room of the provincial governor.

All types of experts and officials were gathered.

They attached great importance to this matter.

Because this exhibition was of a global nature.

China had thousands of years of inheritance, if other countries were to laugh at them for not displaying a treasure, it would be a huge embarrassment to the country.

However, the location of this exhibition concerned everyone.

If it was an ordinary exhibition center, they would not be able to offer their best.

Everyone present was an expert in the field of collection.

An elder took a deep breath of his tobacco pipe and said, “Actually, everyone here already knows where this exhibition is.”

Everyone looked at each other and did not say a word.

“Wutong City, the oldest building and the most stylish building. There are two options. One is the Imperial Palace.

“The other is Prince Gong’s residence.

“Naturally, the Imperial Palace is not suitable for displaying treasures.

“However, it isn’t impossible to come to terms with the master of Prince Gong’s residence.”

Everyone fell silent again.

They were all outstanding figures from various fields in Wutong city.

They knew deeply how terrifying the master of the Imperial City No. 2, Prince Gong’s residence, was.

It was rumored that the master of the Imperial City No. 2 had been alive for more than 180 years.

Moreover, he had a close relationship with the great leader of China.

This was not a small matter. Moreover, he was an old hero during the War of China.

It would be unsightly if they failed the negotiation and ended up offending him.

“We can give it a try.”

The head old man said faintly.

Professor Gu said, “Then let me contact him.”

The old man nodded.

That was the end of the meeting.

Professor Gu returned to the Ancient Texts Research Institute.

“I believe Daoist Zhang will agree, right?”

In fact, the main reason why he had accepted this task was because of the golden box in his hand.

His hand trembled as he held the number. In front of Daoist Zhang, he was just a little brother, a small child.

The call went through.

“Hello, is this Daoist Zhang?”

Five minutes later.

Professor Gu put down the phone and was extremely shocked. “Professor Zhang actually has a successor who has inherited Imperial City No. 2.”

He hurriedly reported this news to the higher-ups.

The higher-ups were also shocked. However, Daoist Zhang did not reject their proposal, which meant that his proposal stood a chance.

As long as he contacted Daoist Zhang’s successor, he could then have a discussion.

Professor Gu, who had once again received permission, dialed a number excitedly.

“Hello, is this Mr. Yang? I’m Professor Gu from the Ancient Texts Research Institute. I’d like to discuss something with you…”
