Chapter 349 Yew

After lunch, Song Wen led him to a village in Tianbao Town.

There are endless banana forests on both sides of the road. Looking at it, it seems like there is no end.

The banana leaves in the banana forest were blown by the wind, making a rustling sound, undulating like wheat waves. Being in the forest, looking at the buds spit out by the banana and the tender green bananas is undoubtedly a pleasure. Tianbao's most famous banana is bananas, which are known as the Ten Mile Banana Garden. Here, when you look down, you will see all the bananas.

Bananas are a good thing, rich in a variety of vitamins and trace elements needed by the human body. Eating more bananas can increase the white blood cells in the body, improve the function of the immune system, and enhance the body's immunity to fight cancer.

According to research, eating bananas can effectively relieve depression and forget worries. Bananas also have good dietary therapeutic effects, such as losing weight. Eating some bananas for three meals a day can achieve weight loss effect. Bananas are sweet and cold in nature, can clear heat and moisten the intestines and promote gastrointestinal motility, so if you can't pull it out, you can eat some bananas, which are beneficial to laxatives.

Although bananas have various benefits and the price they sell in the city is high, banana farmers cannot make much money.

Because bananas are available all year round and are considered the most common fruit, the purchase price is not very high. They are usually around a few cents, and rarely one dollar, but that is tooth banana. Rice bananas are relatively expensive, usually more than two yuan, and more are sold in the city, and more than five yuan. However, rice bananas are not easy to grow and survive, so the most common banana farmers are still tooth bananas.

After passing through the banana forest, bend over a small path, I finally arrived at a village located by the mountain.

This is where Huang Guoliang bought trees. According to him, there is a yew tree that has been sold for hundreds of years in the village.

Yew is an ancient tree species left over from glaciers in the fourth century and a plant in the dinosaur era. It has grown on the earth for more than 2.5 million years and enjoys the reputation of the "natural living fossil" of the plant kingdom. Its material is hard, difficult to enter with knife and axe, and has dense texture. It is beautiful in image, neither curling nor cracking, and has strong corrosion resistance. Therefore, it is used in architecture, high-end furniture, interior decoration, vehicles and pencil poles, etc., and has high economic uses. Its seeds have a high oil content, and it is also a rare medicinal material that can eliminate roundworms and eliminate food accumulation. It can be said to be a unique variety in fir.

But these are just products derived from the famous yew. The main purpose of yew is to extract paclitaxel.

Paclitaxel can be said to be a magical medicine for cancer, and it can not only cure cancer, but also treat kidney disease, diabetes, nephritis, edema, difficulty urination, gonorrhea and other effects.

Since American chemists Vanney and Wall extracted paclitaxel from yew in 1963, yew has become popular, especially wild yew. The most paclitaxel can be extracted from wild yew. Now the price of paclitaxel in the international market is US$500.10 million per kilogram, which has also led to the price of yew rising year by year. Therefore, many wild yew have been poisoned, and now there are very few left.

Today, wild and natural southern yew has been listed as a rare tree species in the world for protection due to its scarce resources, and the United Nations has also explicitly prohibited logging.

When Song Wenchu ​​heard Huang Guoliang say that there was yew in the village, he didn't believe it at all. Because he had never heard of wild yew in Nanzhou. Later, he heard his explanation and found out that the yew was not wild, but was believed by those who dug up from other places.

It is said that a long time ago, a wife from this village was from Youxi. After marrying here, she dug a few yews from her hometown to plant them here because she missed her family to relieve her longing. Now, hundreds of years have passed, and only one yew planted earlier has died. Hundreds of years have passed. The family's family has long been dilapidated, and the tree has become the property of the village. Now the government wants to open a resort here, and the entire village has to relocate as a whole. As a last resort, the village has to sell the yews.

In a blink of an eye, the car arrived at the village where yew was to be sold.

As soon as he entered the village, Song Wen saw a tall and tall yew tree.

There are strings of red red bean fruits hanging on the yew tree, which are red on the outside and bright on the inside, just like the lovesick beans in the south. It reminds people of Wang Wei's poem: "Red beans grow in the south, and they will bloom a few branches in spring. I hope you will pick more of this thing, which is the most lovesick thing."

When we arrived at the village head, a middle-aged man was waiting there. When he saw the car coming, he walked up to him. This man was the village chief of the village, and Huang Guoliang had already called when he came.

"Come on, make tea inside."

The middle-aged man said, and asked Song Wen and Huang Guoliang inside.

Now everyone has a good living standard, and most people in the village have built buildings. The village chief’s house is well built, a three-story building, and the outside is decorated beautifully. When he came to his house, Huang Guoliang found that some people had sat inside. When he saw it, his brows frowned, but he didn’t say anything, and just walked over and sat.

After drinking tea for a while, the village chief took them to see yew.

On the way, Huang Guoliang told Song Wen that one of them was the boss of a local flower company. It seemed that it would be difficult to get the yew this time. Song Wen told him not to worry, and he would take it if he wanted to get it. He would make up for it at that time, and he would think it was the two of them to buy it together. After hearing this, Huang Guoliang was relieved. He brought Song Wen over here and had this idea. You must know that the price of yew in the market is amazing. With his financial resources, it is probably not as good to get the yew in the village.

After a while, the group came under the yew.

Looking closely, the yew is about ten meters high, thick and straight, standing tall, and one person may not be able to come over. The green branches are covered with bright red fruits, and they look very beautiful. There is a house not far from the tree. If the village had not been demolished, the yew would probably not be sold, because it was on the edge of the house, and if the tree was cut, it would inevitably move the house.

After everyone looked at it, the village chief said, "Everyone knows that the village is going to move, otherwise this tree would not be sold. This time, I invite everyone here just to sell it at a good price and give more or less subsidies to the people in the village. We don't come to the slightest price. Those with higher prices will get it. Everyone bid fairly, so let's start now!"

People who wanted to buy yew looked at each other with the people who came with them, nodded, and felt that it was OK.

Huang Guoliang and Song Wen looked at each other, and without saying anything, they shouted directly: "One and a half million."

The people next to him were shocked when they heard this, and someone even shouted, "Will you shout a price?"

Competitive bidding usually starts from a few people to a higher price, and few people call out a high position as soon as they open their mouths. However, Huang Guoliang has his own calculations. He raised the price at the beginning, and some people feel a little hesitant and dare not bid. If they shout a little bit, the atmosphere will be hot, and everyone will be dizzy in the end, but it is not just this price. But his wishful thinking is too good. Now, no one who is out is a thief who is not a thief. I understand his plans at a blink of an eye.

A person next to him looked at him with disdain and shouted loudly: "Two million." (To be continued...)
