Li Han answered the call. It was none other than Liu Ming. Liu Ming listened to Liu Feng's talk about potatoes in the snow and immediately paid attention. Liu Ming sent someone to pass the video of the gray wolf and grizzly bear website.
When he saw the video of potatoes in the snow, Liu Ming was sure that this was a magical potato growing in truly low-temperature, even frozen soil. "This is incredible." Liu Liyan exclaimed in surprise after watching the video.
"It's impossible for others, but it's very possible for Li Han." Liu Ming thought about it for a day and finally called Li Han.
"Yes, snow potatoes can grow at temperatures as low as tens of degrees below zero. Of course, I don't know what the limit is yet," Li Han said. "Perhaps it can also be done in the Arctic."
"Han, don't be ridiculous, snow potatoes, I want to buy some, of course, if you are in trouble." Liu Ming was quite embarrassed.
"No problem, but it's feasible now. There aren't many Hank farms. Let's do it in the second half of the year." Li Han said. "How much is no problem."
"It's refreshing." Liu Mingxiao said. "This time, raise the price. I tell you the truth, it's an old man who wants to buy it. You know the old man's identity."
"Haha, please thank uncle for me." Li Han said with a smile.
"Han, I plan to go to Russia to get some land, what do you think?" Liu Mingxiao said.
"Good idea." Li Han said with a smile. "I plan to get some too."
"No problem, leave this matter to me." Liu Mingxiao said. "Lao Maozi has been a lot more relaxed about our country recently. Leasing this land for tens or even millions is not a big deal."
"Hahaha, originally, not many people would touch this kind of land for free, but it's different now." Liu Mingxiao said. "Old Maozi, it has been affected by the West recently. The prices of fruits and other products have increased dramatically. Residents are not interested in potatoes."
Something like this, which is relatively low-priced, needs to be bigger and bigger.”
"It seems that we have caught up with the good times." Li Han said with a smile.
"I'm going to hold a snow potato auction here, and the Russian side may get news soon." Li Han was a little worried.
"Don't worry, old man, I don't really believe in the news from the United States." Liu Mingxiao said. "Until we grow potatoes, these old men may not believe that such potatoes really exist."
"That's good."
Li Han smiled and said, "Then I can make arrangements with peace of mind."
After hanging up the phone, Li Han handed it to Bella and went to the phone. "All the guests have left."
"Yes, the snow potato seeds will be auctioned in three days. Boss, do you think the number of people invited?" Bella said.
"The top two hundred potato tycoons in the country's auction will all receive invitations."
Li Han said with a smile, "Twenty families can't swallow that many potatoes."
"Two hundred families?" Bella was startled.
"Although it is said that 200 families are invited, only one-third at most can actually come."
Li Han said. "Snow potatoes, many people don't believe it."
Bella, nodded, that's right.
"As for coming or not, we invite you all." Li Han said with a smile. "It won't offend anyone."
In the afternoon, Bella arranged for the staff to send out electronic invitations based on the reputation of Hank Farm.
"What snow potatoes?" A staff member of Colorado's largest potato farm looked at the invitation sent by Hank Farm and smiled. "This is such a lie, and you want me to hand it over to the manager."
With that said, he deleted it casually. This kind of thing is repeated in several major potato-producing states.
Li Han didn't know that almost all large farms chose to handle this invitation letter in this way. Only relatively small farmers received this invitation letter. "Is this true?"
Many people were doubtful and looked up Hank Farm online. "Hank Cow, maybe, it could be real."
Half of the people, still doubtful, planned to go to Hank's Farm to attend the snow potato auction reception.
On that day, the reception was held in the underground cave hall of Hank's farm. Basel, Ander and others arrived early. "Ander, there seems to be something wrong?"
"Those guys, I've seen them before, are potato farmers from North Carolina. Why are they here too?"
"Those guys seem to be potato farmers in Washington state."
"Damn, Han, what is he going to do?"
"This bastard, it seems, plans to invite this American potato farmer here."
"Don't worry, you just didn't notice that many large farms didn't show up, and agents didn't show up." Basel said. "You are like potatoes in the snow. Do you believe it with just an invitation letter?"
"Those large farmers may regret not participating in this auction this time." Ender, smoking a cigar.
"Ander, maybe there will be a few big farmers among us." Basset said with a smile.
"I think your name will be in here, Barcelona," Ander said with a smile.
"Hahaha."
A few people wiped away their nervousness and were in a good mood. Thinking about the bright future they were about to have, everyone felt a little excited for a moment. "When will the auction start? Damn it, I can't wait even a minute."
Just as he was talking, Bella, dressed in a long skirt, walked in. "Good evening, everyone."
"Miss Bella, when does the auction start?"
"Yeah, we're not here to drink or chat."
"Please wait a moment." Bella said with a smile.
"Han, what are you doing here?"
"Base, this is not like your character." Li Han held Dudu and Bao Bao, smiled, and walked over.
"Han, the guests you invited are impatient." Natalie said with a smile.
"Everyone, don't you want to try Hank's Farm wine?" Li Han said with a smile.
"I'm not in the mood for drinking, Han. I think we'd better get started."
"Well, since you are all so anxious, Bella, let's get started." Li Han turned to Bella and said.
Bella smiled and nodded. "Okay."
Three points later, Bella announced that snow potatoes will be planted in November and will be auctioned by Keith.
At this time, the potato farm owners who came from various states each had a brochure in their hands. Of course, a large part of it was not read. These people arrived in advance to visit the valley.
Li Han secretly looked at the more than fifty potato tycoons who had been to the valley and visited, with a smile on his lips.
"Han, how much do you think the auction will cost today?" Natalie leaned next to Li Han and asked in a low voice.
"About 500 million."
"Five hundred million, Han, you really dare to think about it." Natalie rolled her eyes.
"Why, isn't it wrong?"
"How can these guys be so generous?" Natalie shook her head. "If it were me, I would buy some potatoes and plant them for two seasons. The potatoes are enough for the farm. Why pay so much, ten times the price?"
"Hahaha."
Li Han smiled. "Did you forget that there are more potato farms waiting to grow snow potatoes?"
"You mean, these people know how to grow snow potatoes and plan to buy potatoes to grow?" Natalie stared at Li Han.
"That's right."
Li Han smiled and motioned to Natalie to listen to what Bella had to say. "Bella really dares to say that it is not certain whether she will buy Russia or not."
"Buy or not, the land in Russia, Canada, and those countries in Western Europe is suitable for growing snow potatoes, right?" Li Han said with a smile.
"Han, you are trying to make a big pie." Natalie muttered in a low voice.
"That's right, Natalie, your Chinese is getting better and better." Li Han said with a smile. "The pie is big enough, let's see how these people divide it."
The auction started. Ten thousand acres of potato seeds were auctioned and divided into 200 shares. There were more than 60 potato tycoons here and more than 50 people visited the Snow Potato Valley. These people are all potential customers of Li Han.
Li Han estimated how much land these people had, ranging from 250 to 3 million acres. Once the potato seeds were released, 2 million acres caused quite a commotion.
However, soon, as the auction began, the scene became quiet, and the latecomers did not take action. Of the more than fifty guests who saw the snow potatoes, only a few people took action, as the auction was halfway through.
Those who had not taken action gradually became anxious.
The price went up little by little. Basel and Ander, smoking cigars, became more and more anxious. "Ander, how much did you grab?"
"Fifty thousand acres."
Basset's face didn't look good. Just now he wanted to take advantage of it. When there is no rush, it will be cheaper. Who would have thought that the price is getting higher and higher, and there are more and more participants. Basset has just received 20,000 acres. Don't say
My father-in-law did not receive 20,000 acres, and I was still short of 10,000 acres of seeds.
Basset was too cautious and calculating. Now that he was being calculated, Ander smiled. Although Ander still had 10,000 acres of seeds to plant, it was much better than Basset.
"These outsiders are simply crazy."
More than a dozen potato tycoons who had not gone to the valley were becoming more suspicious at this time. Most of these people knew each other and were all somewhat famous potato tycoons. If Li Han invited them, they would all be among the top 200 in the United States. Although the top 50 were almost
No.
But these remaining potato farms, each with tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of acres, were purchased by these people without any regard for price. This made the more than ten people who had not visited the farm become even more curious, and they quickly flipped through the brochures.
Some of them gritted their teeth and started to participate in the auction, first bidding for 10,000 acres. These ten people were very cautious, and each of them bought 10,000 acres, and they bought a lot at once.
Now it's better. After visiting it, I even increased the price desperately.
"How many shots did you take?"
Li Han was shocked.
"More than 800 million US dollars." Natalie's eyes widened.
Jennifer, Lingna, Alta opened their mouths slightly, and Liu Xiaoxiao didn't know what to say. "Eight hundred million or US dollars?"
"These people are crazy."
"Potatoes cost over thirty dollars a pound."
"Crazy."
Bella's hand holding the hammer was shaking a little.
"God, this is a crazy night."
Bella thought to herself, this is crazy.
No one may believe it if I tell you that the auction of white potato strips actually fetched nearly a billion dollars. This is not a truffle, a gem, or an antique auction. This is a potato.
Little Potato, today is destined to be a crazy night, and it is destined to leave a mark in the history of potato cultivation.
"The auction is over, congratulations to Amore Farm from Washington State." Bella struck the last hammer, feeling as if she was exhausted.
"More than 900 million." Natalie said tremblingly.
