Chapter Fifteen: A Bumper Harvest at the Auction

  The large warehouse of the farm, early in the morning, Guo Yu came here alone and saw piles of wooden boxes piled up in a corner of the warehouse. He thought to himself that these were all valuable items. Wu Dazhu handed over to Guo Yu a well-organized list of antique names, with a total of 2,300 pieces, each item's name, era, appraisal, etc. clearly recorded on it, done very meticulously, showing that Chen Yougong had put in a lot of thought.

  Guo Yu didn't bother to examine the antiques carefully, and with a wave of his hand, he stored them in his spatial ring before leaving the warehouse. Today, he planned to settle the matters at the farm and return to modern times for a while, calling Al to take care of the farm while he went out for a period of time. He would handle the seed matter himself and buy back a batch of high-quality seeds.

  After saying goodbye to everyone, Guo Yu returned to the modern era. He took out his phone from his pocket and turned it on, only to be bombarded with a flurry of text messages that didn't stop for a while. It had been several months since he last checked his phone, and many people were looking for him. As he scrolled through the messages and reminders, he saw ones from home, Zhang Chong, friends, classmates, and even his ex-wife - it was all so strange.

  He called home and didn't have much to say, just his mom asking if he was coming back for New Year's Day. Guo Yu said he would definitely go back on New Year's Day and chatted with his mom for a few more sentences before she happily hung up the phone.

  He called Zhang Chong again, and after scolding Guo Yu for a while, he finally calmed down. It was about the auction and the opening of the Hong Kong branch. At that time, they asked Guo Yu to go to Hong Kong to make decisions, but couldn't find anyone. But now he is in the Hong Kong branch, so the two brothers can't meet for the time being.

  Also gave a few good classmates and friends a call, just to maintain relationships and invite them for drinks, temporarily getting by like this. My ex-wife didn't even have time to bother with him.

  Driving out of the garage in my own Cayenne, a thick layer of dirt, can only wash the car first. While washing the car and browsing through my phone, I wanted to find an agricultural technology company to buy seeds. There are many such companies in the capital and not hard to find, dialed several phones, asked about the situation, and finally chose to go to "Huamiao Biological Technology Company" to take a look.

  Not far from the fourth ring, I saw a building with a sign that read "Huashang Biological Technology Co., Ltd." It should be quite large. After inquiring if there was an appointment, I brought Guo Yu to find the sales manager, a slightly chubby middle-aged man who smiled as soon as he spoke, and I don't know if it's because he saw a potential deal coming to his doorstep that made him happy.

  "Mr. Guo said on the phone that wheat and corn seeds are needed, but it's not clear where they will be planted. Different climates, regions, latitudes, etc. require different seeds. We have wheat Feng 178 and Feng 180 which are both very good, and for corn, Yubao 20 and Tianhong 118 are also high-yielding."

  "Can you help me choose the seeds for planting in Los Angeles, USA? I need 4,000 acres of wheat and 6,000 acres of corn seeds. Can you help me pick some?" Guo Yu thought for a moment, not knowing what to say, so he just told the truth according to his own situation.

  The fat boss looked at Guo Yu and felt that this customer was a bit strange. "America, do you need to come to China to buy seeds? Besides, it's also very troublesome for you to pass through customs," he said with a chuckle. "However, the climate of our coastal areas is similar to that of California, so we can use seeds from there. Even better, we can directly import seeds from the United States for you, which would be more targeted."

  In the end, Guo Yu still chose this company's seeds because the imported seeds were all hybrids and couldn't be saved for replanting. Guo Yu chose this company's seeds that could be saved for replanting, so with the limited personnel this year, they can only plant this much land, but next year they won't need to buy seeds anymore.

  Seeds are really expensive. Corn seeds cost 16 yuan per kilogram, and wheat seeds also cost 6 yuan. Calculating the price, it would cost Guo Yu over three million yuan.

  The seed warehouse is ready, and it can be shipped at any time. Guo Yu gave him the address of his own warehouse, and he went to the city district. He wanted to go to the library to find some books on agriculture, military affairs, medicine, steel, machinery, chemical industry, etc., because Hua Fu Academy now obviously needs more advanced knowledge to lay the foundation for building its own factory and territory in the future.

  The vast number of books in the library can overwhelm Guo Yu, but directly getting 1914's basic ones is almost impossible. I can barely manage to organize a few basic textbooks myself, but these things are too professional and numerous, and I don't have time for this, besides, it's really not my expertise.

  The method is thought out by people, and then find someone else later, first go home to accompany parents and son.

  Guo Yu made a round of purchases in the capital, bought gifts for his family members, and drove back to his home in the county town in his Cayenne, which he hadn't returned to for several months. By the time he arrived home, it was already dinner time.

  Guo Yu opened the door, and his son Guo Qingtian heard the sound of the door and rushed over to jump into Guo Yu's arms. "Son misses dad, and has gotten fatter," Guo Yu asked.

  "Dad, where's the gift? Hurry up and get it out!"

  "You little stinker, all you think about is gifts and don't even ask how your old man is doing!"

  "Da Yu is back, take off your clothes, dinner is almost ready, wash your hands and come eat!" Mom shouted from the kitchen. Guo Yu entered the kitchen and saw his mom ladling soup, while his dad was wearing an apron and stir-frying vegetables.

  A family of four happily finished a meal, and after dinner, they chatted in the living room. The son was playing with his new tablet computer. "Son, it's not Mom nagging you, but you've been divorced for over a year now, shouldn't you find someone again?"

  "Mom, I know this isn't recent, but if it's suitable, I'll consider it. By the way, I want to talk to you about something. I'm planning to immigrate to Hong Kong and I'd like to bring Xiaotian with me. What do you and dad think?"

  At this time, Dad said, "How did you suddenly think of immigrating? Besides, how can we live if we immigrate to Hong Kong, where the cost of living is very high?"

  "Dad, don't worry, the company my friend and I started is making money, we even opened a branch in Hong Kong, where there's more business, so I was thinking that our whole family could immigrate there, the climate is nice, and Xiaotian can also receive better education."

  This is a big deal, after discussing for half a day, the old couple decided to let him and their son emigrate first, while they themselves would not move or sell their house. After Guo Yu settles down in Hong Kong, the old couple will join them with their grandson. If there's an unexpected situation in the future, it's good to have a backup plan, that's what the elderly are worried about.

  However, this result was already very good. After staying with his family for a few days at home, Zhang Chong urged him several times over the phone, and after New Year's Day, Guo Yu flew directly to Hong Kong.

  Central, Hong Kong, The Center, rent is absolutely high, but also very good for company image enhancement, after all, Hong Kong is a society that only recognizes strength.

  Guo Yu sat in his leather executive chair, wearing a red cotton suit, his female secretary brought him a cup of coffee, standing beside the desk, using a clip to put two sugar cubes into the cup, stirring slowly with a silver spoon, her slightly curved waist made the V-shaped collar visible to Guo Yu, the motion of stirring the coffee caused her upper body to sway along, Guo Yu could tell she was doing it on purpose.

  "Boss, try the coffee I made and see if it's good to drink?" Secretary Mu Tong spoke in sweet Hong Kong-style Chinese, her eyes fixed on Guo Yu as she blinked a few more times.

  "You're called Mu Tong, and Mu Tong can play the flute, so can you?" Gu Yu teased his beautiful female secretary.

  "It used to be that I wouldn't, but if the boss wants to listen, Mutong will definitely learn, I'm very smart" Big eyes are still blinking.

  "Alright, if not then I'll learn. I like intelligent women. Go call the general manager over." Mu Tong swayed her hips and walked out in high heels, clacking away. "Hey, did you graduate from a secretary professional program? You look more like a model school graduate to me."

  Kuo Yu took a sip of coffee, and Zhang Chong walked into the room. "How's it going, brother? I've carefully selected some top-notch goods for you, graduates from modeling school, absolutely usable."

  Almost spat out a mouthful of coffee, coughed twice before breathing smoothly, indeed graduated from model school.

  "I'm not done talking to you yet, there are many more important things to discuss with you. Your batch of antiques sold for a high price at the autumn auction, I won't go into details one by one. The highest was Lang Shining's 'Spring Hunt Picture', a large scroll over 2 meters long, a national treasure-level item, which sold for this year's highest single price of 1.35 billion yuan. In addition, Qi Baishi's paintings sold for over 70 million yuan, and the six paintings together sold for 320 million yuan. This time we really made a name for ourselves, and the company also earned a lot." Zhang Chong said excitedly, his eyes still showing the excitement of that moment.

  "I've already transferred the money to your reserved account, after deducting the fees there's still 288 million left. You're also rich now, and I've almost completed your immigration process, all the procedures are done, you just need to go to the immigration office with me once for the naturalization, this is something that requires your personal presence."
