Chapter 484 A Huge Amount of 20 Million
Monk Mingxin raised his palm and chanted a Buddhist mantra: "Please be merciful, my benefactor. Please help me find a better solution and we will discuss this matter later. Ahem..."
Ye Xiaomei suppressed her smile and imitated him by putting her hands together: "Then thank you, Master." She thought that her innocent face was really useful. At first she thought Mingxin was cunning and hard to deceive.
Liu Shiguo whispered with those people.
After a long time, one of them sat up straight and looked at Monk Mingxin: "Master Ming, Ye Xiaomei, who is in charge of the White Snake Project, meant to transplant the red maple tree roots back to Changshou Village, make sure they survive, and then transfer them back to Taiwan. Then we can see if they can survive in our country."
Mingxin pinched her eyebrows. Her eyes were hit so hard that she could only half-close them, and tears flowed uncontrollably.
He was fat and big-eared to begin with, and now he looked really funny, which made Ye Xiaomei sigh in her heart.
He did not answer the man first, but said to Ye Xiaomei in a deep voice: "The donor is indeed kind-hearted, but how can we ensure the safety of the Three Treasures?"
Ye Xiaomei had guessed it long ago: "The villagers of Changshou Village are the most direct protectors. The organization does not need to spend too much manpower and financial resources, and there will naturally be people to protect them. Isn't this killing two birds with one stone?"
Liu Shiguo touched his nose subconsciously. From the time Ye Xiaomei questioned him just now until now, he had been acting extremely unnatural. He no longer had the elegance and confidence he had before.
This time he said politely and humbly to the people around him: "I think the idea of the person in charge is good."
As he spoke, he took out a folder and said, "According to statistics over the past five years, the manpower and material resources used to maintain the red maple trees have been converted into funds of more than 7 million, of which 5 million is for the delivery of nutrient solution. The monthly maintenance and feeding funds for the white snakes have reached 360,000. The transfer of funds for the next two years has not yet been approved."
As soon as these words were spoken, those people all looked at Monk Mingxin.
Ye Xiaomei was very surprised that Liu Shiguo was helping her.
Ye Xiaomei could see that the people here still had the final say from Monk Mingxin, so she quickly added:
"Master Mingxin, what do you think of my idea? At most, we can promote it and select a few people from Changshou Village. We can give them some subsidies and let them take turns protecting the red maple trees day and night. It shouldn't go wrong."
Ye Xiaomei didn't know whether anything would go wrong, but the people in Changshou Village would definitely regard the three treasures that were lost and recovered as god-like existences. Perhaps only outsiders would destroy them.
Monk Mingxin pondered for a moment, chanted a Buddhist name, and then said in a deep voice: "Prepare a detailed report and send it back to the country."
After saying this, Monk Mingxin stood up and left, rhythmically turning the rosary in his hand.
Ye Xiaomei's pupils shrank. I still have to write a report? How long will this take?
Ye Xiaomei hurriedly followed him out and blocked Monk Mingxin's way. Looking at his bruised face, she asked anxiously, trying not to laugh:
"Master Mingxin, when will you help me take away the ancestral spirits? You haven't given me a specific time yet."
Monk Mingxin raised his eyes and looked at Ye Xiaomei, but his panda eyes were so swollen that it was impossible to see the expression in his eyes.
He raised his palm to his chest and said, "Since the donor is so anxious to donate, I have just used the magic of Qimen to calculate that the best time is May 5th."
Ye Xiaomei didn't understand what he meant, so she asked again, "That's easy. I'll be there whenever you ask me. But how long do you think it will take to transport the maple tree roots back to Changshou Village? Of course, if it's a matter of funds, I can help. After all, I'm also a member of the organization, so making a contribution can be seen as doing good deeds for sentient beings."
After hearing these words, Mingxin's swollen eyes widened a little bit, and he sang a Buddhist name:
"You are so kind, my benefactor. If so, let's carry it out together with the report."
Leaving the underground base, the sunlight outside the door made the artificial lake sparkle.
Liu Shiguo was very surprised after hearing what Ye Xiaomei said. He didn't expect that Ye Xiaomei could convince Monk Mingxin to change his plan so easily.
You have to know that in the past, this person was someone you couldn't afford to offend. He looked like a monk, but in fact he had no humanity at all. In his eyes, even his own life was worthless.
As a result, every time an organization encounters difficulties and asks for help, people are terrified.
Even Qin Rong and Qin Xiaoyi hung their heads on their belts and begged him for help.
However, Liu Shiguo understood one thing: "Although Mingxin has the power, he does not have financial power. He can only use his status to transfer funds from the finance department. So if you say you pay, he will naturally not have so many ideas."
Ye Xiaomei could also see that this person knew so many powerful people, even people from secret organizations, so he was obviously not a simple person.
Ye Xiaomei asked: "Why do we still need to write a report and send it out?"
Liu Shiguo hesitated to speak, his eyes full of vigilance. After all, Ye Xiaomei is of Chinese descent. If she knew too much, would she still be so dedicated?
Furthermore, if you say too many things that you shouldn't say, you will naturally be held accountable:
"Maybe it's for record."
This answer is very strong but it is also the only answer. Liu Shiguo added: "I will write the report, and you can get the funding."
Speaking of funds, Ye Xiaomei thought of her own savings. Although the hot pot restaurant she ran was doing pretty well, her current savings alone were only over 700,000 yuan, which was still a long way from her previous goal of becoming a wealthy woman.
If it weren't for Sanbao's matter and her own background, she would have used the money to make larger investments by now.
Thinking of this, Ye Xiaomei felt a pang of pain: "How much did you spend to transport the red maple tree back to the Chaocheng laboratory?"
Ye Xiaomei only knew that it was definitely not a small number, but when Liu Shiguo put two fingers deep into her, Ye Xiaomei was still scared to the point of almost pinching herself.
"Two million?" Ye Xiaomei asked tentatively. After all, the tree roots were so big that an ordinary agricultural military truck could not hold them.
Unexpectedly, Liu Shiguo shook his head and said, "Twenty million."
"..." Ye Xiaomei almost suffocated herself to death by vomiting blood.
"Why...why does it cost so much?" Considering the current consumption level in society, this is truly an astronomical figure.
Liu Shiguo said seriously, "When we first dug, we could only rely on manpower, because the terrain of Changshou Village was so difficult that ordinary cars could not enter. So we bought several helicopters, and the fuel cost alone was more than 5 million. It took five days to lift the tree roots out of the mountain.
Then we bought two Tiger Armored Transport Vehicles, and put this huge thing into the laboratory..."
"Okay, I get it." Ye Xiaomei felt dizzy if she continued to listen. She had just been thinking about transporting the white snake, the black toad and the red maple tree back together, but now she was careless.
Seeing Ye Xiaomei's headache, he adjusted his glasses with embarrassment: "Miss Ye, do you... have so much money? You know, to transport it back, we have to dig a hole above the square, at least 20 meters deep."
Ye Xiaomei's heart, which had not yet calmed down, suddenly exploded. She waved her hands in agony, signaling Liu Shiguo not to provoke her anymore.
Too careless!
"What should we do? Should we still write the report?" Liu Shiguo asked tentatively.
"Write." Ye Xiaomei said decisively. It seemed that she had to ask the invisible rich man to come out, but she didn't know whether he was willing to spend this little money since he was so stingy.
In Tang's house, Ye Xiaomei had to spend a lot of money to accomplish this. As the saying goes, you can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a lamb.
