After returning home from the tannery, he called Yang Guangchang from Hanhai Auction House in Shanghai: "Mr. Yang, can you come to Quancheng when you have time?" New
Yang Guangchang asked cheerfully: "Mr. Lu, what good things do you have this time? Is it still ruby and topaz? After half a year, I think we can auction it again!"
Lu Cheng said: "Does your auction house sell ginseng?"
"Hanhai Auction House has a wide range of business and can auction anything! What kind of ginseng do you have?"
"Ginseng with a net weight of 2 and a half pounds!"
"What? Mr. Lu, are you kidding?"
"No kidding! I have several ginseng plants weighing more than 2 pounds!"
"Just wait, I'll go there tomorrow!"
At noon the next day, Yang Guangchang took an appraiser and a tall bodyguard to Qingquan Villa and saw three huge ginseng plants!
The appraiser was an old man with gray beard and thin body. He carefully appraised the ginseng and said: "This is a special kind of ginseng. It is different from Northeastern red ginseng and American American ginseng. But it has a faint brilliance and a deep root."
The whiskers are white, which is a good thing at first sight. Can I take two of the roots and make ginseng tea, and then invite some experienced Chinese medicine practitioners to taste it? If it can’t replenish vitality, there’s no way it can be sold at a high price.”
Lu Cheng smiled and said: "No problem, you take away these three ginseng plants, how you identify and auction them is up to you!"
He has more than a hundred ginsengs like this in his hand. If he keeps them all for himself, won't he eat them until the end of the year of the monkey? Besides, he also has some better elixirs, such as mulberry seeds from the hibiscus tree.
The sap of mulberry trees is more powerful than ginseng. For this reason, he took out the ginseng and wanted to sell it to people in need.
Except for ginseng, he didn't dare to take out other elixirs.
Yang Guangchang said: "Mr. Lu, you still have Hetian jade, right? Can you put a few more pieces up for auction?"
Lu Cheng smiled and said: "I have red jade, topaz, white jade, jasper and black jade. How many do you want?"
"A piece of each?"
"Okay, please wait a moment." Lu Cheng went to the basement and took out a jade from the storage artifact. One piece of jade of each color weighed more than ten kilograms.
Yang Guangchang and his bodyguards returned to the Magic City with jade and ginseng, and smiles on their faces. Needless to say, when the auction goes out, he will get a lot of money.
Jiang Qiuyun went to school, met with her tutor Xu Mingze, and took several exams.
On the weekend, her literary salon started again.
She is still writing her new book "Clouds Rising from the Sky Mountain". She spends at least four hours writing it every day and has no problem typing out 100,000 words. The book she is envisioning is not particularly long and can be completed in about three to four million words. It stands to reason that this film is based on Zuo Zongtang’s conquest of Japan. Because the story is magnificent and the history and humanity are very rich, it would be no problem to write it in ten million words.
However, Jiang Qiuyun’s purpose was to go for the Mao Dun Literature Prize. Those judges were too old to read books that were too long. Putting a work of tens of millions of words in front of them would make them read painstakingly. So Jiang Qiuyun tried her best to compress it and finalize it.
Maybe only two to three million words.
When she met her mentor Xu Mingze, she mentioned that she was writing a relatively rigorous book, but she did not dare to say that she wanted to win the Mao Dun Literature Award. Because to outsiders, it seemed unreasonable, and she was not suitable until she won the award.
Say it.
On Sunday, Lu Cheng and Jiang Qiuyun were walking on the streets of Quancheng.
He discovered that from unknown time onwards, the number of martial arts schools in Quancheng had also increased. What about Tai Chi and Xing Yi Quan
Mantis Fist, White Crane Fist, Black Tiger Fist, Cha Fist, Tiger and Crane Double Shape… they are all over the street!
Lu Cheng sighed softly: "It seems that the revival of spiritual energy and the evolution of heaven and earth have finally had a great impact on young people. There are fewer people playing games online and more people going out to exercise."
Jiang Qiuyun said: "Yes, it is better to do more activities while you are young and build a strong body than to sit in front of the computer and play games all night long."
Lu Cheng said: "But it's been half a year since I participated in the track and field championships this spring, and I haven't even walked on the track once."
"I know, you don't want to participate in the competition."
"Yes, I want to quit sports. Because participating in such competitions has lost its meaning for me."
In the beginning, Lu Cheng participated in the competition because he was young and unknown, and he wanted to get the marathon prize money. Now that he is famous all over the world and a billionaire, what is the point of participating in the competition again? Do you want to challenge yourself?
He dare not show his true strength. With his extraordinary strength, he can win the competition without any force, just like an adult bullying a child. Isn't it interesting?
Therefore, Lu Cheng thought about it and decided that it was time to wash his hands!
But after all, he is the number one person in today's sports world. If he rashly announces his retirement from sports, there will definitely be a big commotion.
Moreover, he has an agreement with Oriental Sports Agency and an agency contract with Duojia Company, so he cannot withdraw rashly.
For this reason, he waited until Monday morning to go to Huang Guangjing and Li Hong and tell them his thoughts.
Huang Guangjing said with a look of reluctance: "What a pity! Mr. Lu, your annual fees are now as high as 2.5 billion, why don't you just give up?"
Lu Cheng shrugged: "Weak ribs."
Li Hong was almost dumbfounded, thinking: "The annual net income of 2.5 billion is actually useless?" As agents, she and Huang Guangjing could take 7% of Lu Cheng's agency fees, which was a huge amount of income.
Ah. She would rather Lu Cheng be called an evergreen tree in the sports world and never retire.
"Mr. Lu, you are an Olympic champion, a national hero, and an idol for young people. You should show the spirit of continuous improvement! Look at Su Bingtian, he is almost 40 years old! You are only 25 years old and have not yet reached the peak of competitiveness. Why do you think so?
Have you quit the sports world?"
Lu Cheng said: "I'll be honest with you. My current 100-meter time is within two seconds, and I can finish the marathon in half an hour. You are saying that I will participate in the competition again, pretending to slow down my steps, just to win the championship. It's interesting.
?"
"This..."
"Every time I participate in a competition, I feel like I am cheating. I don't like cheating! So I want to quit sports."
"What a pity, what a pity!"
"Mr. Lu, you only need to participate in two competitions a year, or even only one major competition, to maintain your status in the sports world."
"Mr. Lu, you should participate in the next Olympics no matter what! As a top athlete, how can you fall like a meteor?"
Lu Cheng was silent for a long time and said: "If the country needs it, I can participate in the Olympics, but other than that, I don't want to participate in any competition again."
Huang Guangjing and Li Hong looked at each other, breathed a sigh of relief, and said to themselves: "Fortunately, this result is not the worst. However, the Olympics will be the year after tomorrow. If you don't participate in the whole next year, how can you pay
Where are the representatives of major companies?"
Lu Cheng didn't want to think too much. He just informed the other party, not solicited the other party's opinion. When he signed the agreement, there was no guarantee that it would last for many years. He could withdraw at any time if he wanted to.
After returning home, Lu Cheng did nothing. He wanted to fade out of the sports world. He didn't need to make any announcements, causing criticism and making a fuss._&
