Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "Mr. Tang, the production of this tea is not high, and I have no intention of selling it …"
"I see …" Tang He said with some regret, and then looked at the tea in the purple clay teapot reluctantly.
Xia Ruofei then changed the topic and said, "This tea is for myself and my friends to drink, so I will only give it to you as a gift, not for sale! It's rare that you like it so much. I still have some stock here. You can take it back and drink it! "
After that, Xia Ruofei took out a box from his bag that he had already prepared. Inside it was about half a kilogram of top-grade Da Hong Pao tea.
Now that the Da Hong Pao tea tree in the space had expanded the planting area, and Xia Qing's craftsmanship was very good, Xia Ruofei now had a lot more tea leaves in stock than before. There were several kilograms in the space at any time.
Of course, although these tea leaves were produced from the third generation of the mother tree Da Hong Pao tea, because of the unique environment in the space, the quality of the tea leaves produced was actually not worse than the mother tree's Da Hong Pao tea leaves. In fact, it was even slightly better.
It could be said that if it were to be sold, in the eyes of those who really understood tea, every gram of Xia Ruofei's tea leaves was incomparably precious. He had given away about 250 grams in one go, which was definitely a big deal.
Tang He was also surprised and happy. He happily took the box of tea leaves and immediately opened it. Then, he carefully opened the sealed bag and took a deep breath.
The dry tea leaves had a refreshing fragrance, which made Tang He reminisce about it.
Then, Tang He said with some embarrassment, "Ruofei, this gift of yours is too expensive. This grade of tea is not sold on the market, but if it is really sold, I'm afraid it can be sold for millions! Or … I'd better buy it from you! "
Xia Ruofei smiled and waved his hand and said, "It's not worth that much! Besides, I'm not going to sell this tea for the time being. If you're willing to pay, then I won't give it to you! "
Although the mother tree's Da Hong Pao tea leaves had once been sold at a sky-high price of 198,000 yuan for 20 grams, which was equivalent to more than 4 million yuan per catty, this was an auction! Moreover, there were many gimmicks. Just the rich history and stories of the mother tree, Da Hong Pao, and the auction of the last harvest were enough to raise the price to unimaginable heights.
And if Xia Ruofei really sold the tea leaves in bulk, even if the quality of the tea leaves was better than the mother tree Da Hong Pao, the price would not be that high.
Of course, Xia Ruofei had no intention of profiting from the tea leaves.
Furthermore, although the tea leaves were comparable to the mother tree, Da Hong Pao, they weren't that precious to Xia Ruofei. One had to know that there were tea trees in the Archean realm that had been cut by the mother tree, Da Hong Pao. The outside world could harvest tea leaves every ten days or so. If Xia Ruofei wanted the tea leaves, it would be relatively easy for him to obtain them.
Tang He said, "Alright, alright, alright. Then I won't stand on ceremony with you!"
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "Old Mister Tang, you've helped me a lot. Take this as a token of my appreciation! The production of this tea leaf isn't high, so don't think I'm stingy. When the new tea leaves come out next year, I'll leave more for you! "
Xia Ruofei would definitely say this to Tang He. The harder it was to obtain the tea leaves, the more precious they were. Otherwise, if he gave them something, they might not necessarily accept his kindness. Wouldn't that be a thankless task?
"Alright, alright. Then I'll thank you in advance!" Tang He was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth.
Xia Ruofei and Tang He chatted as they brewed tea. After a while, the middle-aged man in the Tang suit, Ah Zhong, walked to Tang He's side with an excited expression. He bowed slightly and said, "Master Tang, I've found it!"
Tang He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Oh? The material is good, right? "
Ah Zhong suppressed his excitement and said, "It's good. Master Tang, how about … we talk in private?"
After that, Ah Zhong quickly glanced at Xia Ruofei.
Tang He was well aware of Ah Zhong's thoughts. He said lightly, "Let's talk here. Ruofei is not an outsider. The value of this material is what it should be. There's nothing to hide! "
Ah-Zhong indeed wanted to avoid Xia Ruofei and talk to Tang He about the two gold-threaded nanmu materials. His purpose was naturally to prevent Xia Ruofei from asking for an exorbitant price after hearing it — because these two materials were really too good.
But for Tang He, the money to buy the Jinnan wood was nothing. He valued his friendship with Xia Ruofei more.
In his opinion, it was not easy for Xia Ruofei to find the wood for him. No matter how much the wood was worth, Xia Ruofei deserved it.
Not to mention that Xia Ruofei had just given him a box of top-grade Dahongpao tea leaves. This was not a small favor!
Ah Zhong blushed and said quickly, "Yes, Master Tang!"
Then he took a deep breath, no longer suppressing his excitement, and said, "Lord Tang, these two materials are top-grade Golden-Rimmed Phoebe. Nowadays, it's very difficult to find such a large Golden-Rimmed Phoebe. This time, two of them appeared at once! What's more, the ratio of the core material of these two pieces of wood is very high. The overall diameter of the wood is about 1.1 meters, and 1.2 meters is the core material. This is almost the limit of perfection! "
After hearing this, Tang He couldn't help but be slightly moved. He put down the teacup and stood up, saying, "Let's go and take a look!"
Thus, Xia Ruofei accompanied Tang He and walked to the two pieces of cloth.
These two pieces of Jinnan wood were personally cut by Xia Ruofei, so he was very familiar with their situation. Every time he entered the space, he would see them, so he was not surprised.
But Tang He was different. When he walked to the side of the Jinnan wood, his eyes couldn't help but light up. Then he immediately bent down to examine it carefully, and his expression became more and more excited.
After a long while, Tang He straightened up and asked, "Ruofei, I want these two pieces of wood! Do you want to open a few windows and see the lines inside? "
Xia Ruofei smiled and shook his head, saying, "No, you can just give me a price …"
Tang He's eyes flashed with a strange light. He looked at Xia Ruofei and asked, "Are you sure? If it's the same as last time, the price will be much higher. "
Xia Ruofei laughed and said, "How can there be so many top-grade lines? Mr. Tang, just give me a normal price. If there are precious top-grade lines after you take them back, it's your good luck! "
Ah-Zhong couldn't help but take a deep look at Xia Ruofei. Based on his experience, if the core material of these two pieces of wood was taken out, the price should be higher. He couldn't understand Xia Ruofei's approach.
Tang He couldn't help but laugh and say, "That's great! Ruofei, then I won't dawdle. These two pieces of Jinnan wood will be sold together for 15 million dollars. What do you think? "
Ah-Zhong was shocked and couldn't help but cry out, "Master Tang! This price is too high … "
"Ah-Zhong!" Tang He's face darkened and said, "I know what to do. Don't say anymore!"
Ah-Zhong couldn't help but tremble in his heart. He quickly lowered his hands and said, "Yes, Master Tang …"
He really couldn't understand. Xia Ruofei could have sold it at a higher price, but she took the initiative to sell it directly and didn't need to take out the core material. Tang He could have bought the two Gold-Rimmed Phoebe Nanmu at a much lower price, but she still offered such a high price.
Fifteen million USD was equivalent to seven and a half million USD for each piece of material.
If it was an ordinary Gold-Rimmed Zhennan of the same size, it was absolutely impossible to sell for this price. Even if Xia Ruofei's two pieces of wood were of high quality, they still needed to find very precious patterns when they were cut open, such as cloud patterns, tiger patterns, and so on, to be able to reach this price.
Otherwise, Tang He would have definitely lost money by spending so much money on them.
In fact, Ah-Zhong didn't know that Tang He was far more confident in these two pieces of wood than he was, because Tang He had seen with his own eyes that the Jinnan wood, which was also bought from Xia Ruofei, had the best wavy lines.
At that time, Tang He had spent 10 million dollars on that piece of wood, but after the wavy lines, the actual value of that piece of wood had reached at least 15 million dollars.
This time, these two pieces of wood gave Tang He a very familiar feeling. He faintly felt that they seemed to be of the same origin as the Jinnan wood from last time. He even had a sixth sense that the lines of these two pieces of wood would not be different.
Moreover, Tang He had actually taken advantage of the Jinnan wood he had bought last time. This time, Xia Ruofei had given him such good tea, so he also wanted to make up for it in his heart.
This piece of wood was slightly smaller than last time. Last time, it was 10 million, but this time, it was 7.5 million per piece. This price, in Tang He's opinion, was appropriate.
Xia Ruofei wasn't pretentious. He almost didn't think much about it and said with a smile, "Deal!"
In fact, Xia Ruofei knew that these Jinnan woods grew in the Ring-Tu space and were nourished by rich spiritual energy day and night. The probability of the best wavy lines appearing was definitely very high. In other words, these two pieces of wood sold for 15 million dollars should be worth it.
"Haha! It's refreshing to do business with Ruofei! "Tang He said happily.
Xia Ruofei said, "Old Mr. Tang, this time, directly use the name of my offshore company in the Cayman Islands to do the transaction! I also need to invest in the two wineries in Australia. It's too troublesome to transfer the domestic funds out … "
Tang He laughed and said, "Even if you didn't say it, I would have reminded you! The accounts of offshore companies are more flexible, and foreign financial policies are more relaxed. I suggest that all of your overseas business go through offshore companies in the future. "
Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "Okay! By the way, Old Mr. Tang, you can directly deduct the funds borrowed last time … Just use today's exchange rate between US dollars and Australian dollars! "
"Okay!" Tang He said readily.
Then, Tang He's legal assistant quickly drafted the contract and attached photos of the two pieces of wood from various angles. Xia Ruofei and Tang He signed the transfer contract respectively.
The overseas transfer was also very fast.
Tang He directly made a phone call and the funds were quickly transferred. Xia Ruofei checked the account of the offshore company in the Cayman Islands through the phone. After deducting the 3 million Australian dollars borrowed last time, which was equivalent to 2.37 million US dollars, the remaining 12.63 million US dollars had been transferred.
"I've received the money, Old Mr. Tang," Xia Ruofei said with a smile.
Tang He reached out his hand to Xia Ruofei and said with a smile, "Happy cooperation!"
"Happy cooperation!"
"Next time, if I need Golden Silk Cedar or other precious wood, I'll look for you again!" Tang He said with a smile, "Ruofei, you can't refuse!"
Xia Ruofei also laughed and said, "I can only say that I'll do my best. I can't guarantee this kind of thing!"
Tang He laughed and reached out to pat Xia Ruofei on the shoulder.
The transaction here was all completed. Tang He and Xia Ruofei walked out of the warehouse together. Tang He's people temporarily took over the place.
They would complete the customs clearance procedures in the shortest time possible and transfer trucks to transport the wood away. Finally, they would send it to the United States by sea.
Xia Ruofei's warehouse was empty. Except for two pieces of wood, there was only a set of tea set and picnic tables and chairs that Xia Ruofei had taken out in the morning. In front of Tang He and others, Xia Ruofei couldn't put these things into the space. He directly gave the key to Tang He's people and asked them to lock the warehouse after the wood was transported, and then send the key to Taoyuan Farm.
When Xia Ruofei and Tang He walked to the door, the two stood at the door and chatted for a while.
At this time, Xia Ruofei's mobile phone vibrated.
He made an apologetic expression to Tang He, then took out his mobile phone and glanced at it.
The caller ID showed a local landline number in Sanshan. Xia Ruofei pressed the answer button and said, "Hello, who is this?"
"Excuse me, are you Mr. Xia Ruofei?" The person on the other end of the phone spoke Mandarin with a strong Cantonese accent.
Xia Ruofei immediately said, "I'm Xia Ruofei. Are you from Hengfeng Group?"
A few days ago, Ma Xiong had said that he would send someone to see the one-headed abalone that Xia Ruofei had mentioned. He also wanted to buy some information in preparation for the auction. Therefore, when Xia Ruofei heard the Cantonese voice, he immediately guessed the other party's origin.
"Yes, yes! Hello, Boss Xia! " The voice on the other end of the phone suddenly became enthusiastic. "I was sent by Chairman Ma to contact you about the auction. My name is Guo Song."
"Oh, hello, Mr. Guo!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile. Then he asked, "Have you arrived at Sanshan?"
"Yes, I just checked in at the hotel!" Guo Song said. "When is it convenient for you, Mr. Xia? I hope to take a look at the abalones you have … "
Ma Xiong had personally ordered him to come to the mainland to identify a batch of one-headed abalone. Guo Song didn't believe it at all. Since when could one-headed abalone be measured by a "batch"? However, this was a task given by the chairman himself. He had also specifically instructed Mr. Xia, who was a distinguished friend of Hengfeng Group, to have a good attitude. Therefore, Guo Song didn't dare to be negligent. He immediately packed his luggage and rushed to Sanshan.
