As soon as the news regarding Wu Chengde spread, the leader of the Flower Exhibition Center was immediately alerted.
The leader led his subordinates to Wu Chengde.
Wu Chengde held a pot of cactus as he laughed like a madman.
“Professor Wu, what are you…”
The leader asked with confusion.
Wu Chengde did not even look at him and said, “Your flower center has such a treasure. Why did you put it with a bunch of ordinary cactuses?”
The leaders looked at each other.
“Who’s in charge of this?”
A fat man nervously came to the front of the group and said, “Boss, I’m in charge of this. A few days ago, a gentleman sent it to us.”
The fat man quickly explained the whole story, feeling as if an opportunity had dawned upon him.
“Professor Wu, let’s find a quiet place to talk.”
The leader said tentatively.
Wu Chengde led the way, followed by the leader of the flower center and the others.
Soon, the group of people arrived at the conference room.
Wu Chengde carefully placed the cactus on the table.
The fat man who was in charge of this matter also followed them in.
Wu Chengde calmed himself and said, “Don’t tell anyone what I’m about to say today.
“Firstly, in the outside world, this plant was rumored to have died out a hundred years ago. It’s called Augustus Cactus.”
Everyone was a little confused.
It was just a pot of cactus. Even if it had reappeared after its extinction, it should not be considered a precious treasure.
As he looked at everyone’s expression, Wu Chengde sneered and said, “You’re really short-sighted. Am I the kind of person who makes a big deal over nothing?”
The crowd hurriedly shook their heads.
‘You’re amazing. You’re a plant expert, and you’re a Nobel botanist. You have the right to speak, okay? We’ll all just shut up.’ thought the crowd.
Seeing the crowd’s reaction, Professor Wu said with satisfaction, “Secondly, even if it was a hundred years ago, this plant was owned only by the royal family of Great Britain. It was out of ordinary people’s reach.”
“What?”
This time, everyone was shocked.
An item owned only by the royal family would definitely be the best of the best.
“Third, ignoring its unique attributes and the fact that it was owned solely by the royal family, this cactus is still a priceless treasure.
“Because its very existence is a treasure.
“Its juice can be used to make a special type of perfume. It’s a consumable perfume with a rare scent. The plant can be made into a type of orally consumable perfume. Once a woman takes it, the fragrance will accompany her for her entire lifetime…
“The flower of Augustus, harvested when they’re in full bloom, can be used to make substances that would maintain any man’s masculinity until he dies of old age. Men who have taken the substance can provide immense pleasure for his woman. The substance is capable of redeveloping a man’s body up to three times, and it’ll also strengthen the body…”
“Ah!”
Everyone in the office was dumbfounded.
If these words did not come from a great expert, the professor of botany’s mouth, anyone else would have been kicked out of the office.
There was actually such a treasure in the world?
Just the last attribute alone would make countless men and women go crazy. In this world, there were many rich people, but who had such an item?
These two functions would be worth thousands of gold, it could even be considered priceless.
“Moreover, Augustus blooms only once in its lifetime. The breeding method can’t be replicated. We can say that whoever this plant belongs to is the rightful owner of all the plant’s benefits. Which one of you is in charge? I want to contact the owner of this flower.”
Professor Wu said.
The fat man shivered and hurriedly gave Yang Dianfeng’s phone number to Professor Wu.
Professor Wu picked up the phone number. However, he did not immediately make the call.
People were all selfish.
‘If he knew how sacred this cactus was, would he have displayed it in the Flower Exhibition Center so casually?’
Professor Wu made up his mind. He would first investigate the owner of the cactus. Then, he would offer a high price in an attempt to retrieve the cactus’s breeding method.
He checked Yang Dianfeng’s identity.
Wu Chengde was a little surprised.
‘Is this kid the god of fortune? He’s so lucky. He won 500 million yuan and had invested in the development of Erlong Mountain. I think he has something to do with the golden box that caused a commotion in the world of antiques.’
Wu Chengde frowned and said, “You can all leave now.”
The people did not dare to refute him.
Wu Chengde may be a mere professor of botany, but he held a high position. He was the minister.
Only two people were left in the room.
The assistant’s breathing was a little fast. She did not expect that the cactus she picked up so casually was actually so expensive. She even nearly dropped it.
After thinking for a long time, Wu Chengde still dialed Yang Dianfeng’s number.
Yang Dianfeng, who was cooking, saw an unfamiliar number and hung up immediately.
“There are so many harassing calls these days. I need to change my phone number when I have the time.”
He murmured.
Before he turned around, the phone rang again.
Then, he hung up again.
It rang again.
He hung up again.
After more than ten times, Yang Dianfeng was annoyed. He picked up the phone and said, “You cheater! Why are you so persistent? I don’t have any bank deposits, I don’t need a loan and I didn’t leak any usable information!
Bang!
He pressed the “end call” button hard and hung up the phone again.
Wu Chengde’s face twitched as he said, “You’re calling me a cheater? You b*stard!”
He was riled up, he called over and over again.
In the end, Yang Dianfeng was speechless.
“This cheater is so persistent.”
He picked up the phone and said, “I’ll give you ten seconds to convince me, or I’ll hang up.”
“Mr. Yang, you have a pot of cactus in the exhibition center, don’t you?”
“Uhm…” Yang Dianfeng glanced at his phone and said, “You’re not a cheater, are you? Yeah, what happened? Did I win first prize?”
Wu Chengde was shocked.
“I know that my plants are noble.”
In fact, Yang Dianfeng knew that very few books recorded the Augustus Cactus.
However, this excluded Yang Dianfeng’s book collection. There were many rare and unique books in his collection.
After arriving at the Imperial Residence, Yang Dianfeng checked out his book collection. After all, if a bed he purchased randomly turned out to be made of Agarwood, there was no reason for his pot of cactus to be an ordinary plant.
He purposely did some research and actually found information about the cactus.
At that time, even Yang Dianfeng was shocked.
“You did win the first prize, though I’m a little confused. Mr.Yang, did you breed this cactus? It’s very similar to a very famous plant that I once saw in a book. What’s the name of this cactus?”
Wu Chengde said carefully. He hoped Yang Dianfeng knew nothing about it.
If the value of the plant was unknown to him, then he could easily find out the breeding method of the plant or even purchase it at a low price.
“I’m not selling it. Don’t even think about it. My house is short on flowers, and I happen to need a pot of cactus. This cactus is called Augustus. If you damage it even slightly, I’ll make you pay for it. Its value is beyond your imagination…”
