Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 1314: Chapter 1237: Rushing to Dacheng

Looking at the message from Li Ni, the originally ”sickly” Bai Xiaosheng suddenly sat up straight, his back rigid, eyes shining brightly as if he’d been injected with chicken blood, reviving him completely. Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying beside him were startled into a large jump.

Bai Xiaosheng couldn’t bother to explain to them and quickly replied to Li Ni.

”Has the production of the purple clay teapot started yet!”

Li Ni quickly replied, ”Not yet, it’s not that fast. I am planning to turn the family concept into reality, so the craftsmanship and even the raw materials can’t be taken lightly; they must be well-considered.”

”Traditional clay, I don’t think it’s suitable. I’m currently researching several solutions.”

”If you have time, you can come and have a look!”

Seeing Bai Xiaosheng’s interest in his research, Li Ni was also very excited, even extending an invitation.

In an instant, Bai Xiaosheng’s eyes lit up, suddenly shining brightly.

Seeing this, Lin Weiwei couldn’t help but nudge Lei Ying, who was also stunned.

Bai Xiaosheng had a further chat with Li Ni.

Bai Xiaosheng was so excited, ”If it’s a success, can I have the first purple clay teapot! I’ll buy it!”

Li Ni replied instantly, ”You can’t!”

Bai Xiaosheng was about to send another message, but then he saw a message from Li Ni before he could—

”How could I take your money! I want to give it to you!”

Bai Xiaosheng saw the message and immediately burst into laughter, shouting, ”Li Ni, this guy, is awesome!”

After laughing and shouting, Bai Xiaosheng then realized they were still in the Western restaurant.

He looked up to see Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying staring at him as if frozen.

A loop of pasta dangled from Lei Ying’s fork, silently sliding off.

They were in a high-end restaurant, surrounded by quiet diners, and at that moment, everyone turned to look at him.

Bai Xiaosheng was suddenly embarrassed, hurriedly offering smiles and apologies around and even to the waiter who rushed over.

Somehow, Bai Xiaosheng managed to smooth over the little disturbance.

”What’s going on, Xiaosheng? Why are you so excited?” Lin Weiwei moved closer and asked in a hushed tone.

Lei Ying also looked on curiously.

Bai Xiaosheng showed them his phone, and they instantly understood.

Lin Weiwei’s eyes widened in disbelief, ”Could it be that you plan to use Li Ni’s creation?”

”Seeing how confident Li Ni is, it shouldn’t take long once he gets started! Timing-wise, it’s feasible!” Lei Ying added.

Bai Xiaosheng smiled at them, first saying to Lin Weiwei, ”Indeed, I’m planning to use Li Ni’s creation!”

Who says only antiques can be top notch!

This new one, if executed to a certain degree, can be even more refreshing!

Having said that, Bai Xiaosheng turned to Lei Ying, ”However, we won’t just wait for him to finish; we need to get over there and complete it together with him!”

”That’s real commitment!” Bai Xiaosheng’s lips curled into a smile.

The body of the pot could be made by Li Ni, but for the calligraphy and poetry on the surface, that was his expertise!

And it’s not just that, Li Ni also brought up some difficult points in the crafting process, and Bai Xiaosheng felt he could lend a hand, especially with Red Lotus aiding him.

Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying exchanged a glance, both nodding in agreement.

Since Bai Xiaosheng had made this decision, they naturally had no objections.

”Weiwei, book the tickets. We’re heading to Dacheng City first thing tomorrow morning!” Bai Xiaosheng was full of enthusiasm, ”It’s only a two-hour journey, then we can get to work together!”

”Alright, leave it to me.” Lin Weiwei smiled and then blinked her eyes, wondering, ”Dacheng? Is Li Ni in Dacheng City?”

Then, Lin Weiwei muttered, ”I remember that Ron and the others acquired that plot of land there, the one that caused the conflict with the Luo Family, it’s also in Dacheng, right?”

It certainly was a coincidence, but it was unrelated, and besides, the conflict between Ron and the Luo Family had already been resolved into a ”win-lose” situation, so there was no need for concern.

Lin Weiwei just mentioned it in passing, and all Bai Xiaosheng did was acknowledge it with an ”Oh”, without giving it much thought.

Now that there had been progress on the purple clay teapot front, Bai Xiaosheng was in a good mood, which naturally improved his appetite.

After a hearty meal, the three returned to their accommodation.

There were no further discussions that night.

...

Early the next morning, Bai Xiaosheng and his group hurried to the high-speed rail station.

Thanks to rapid transportation development, two hours later, Bai Xiaosheng and company were already standing on the ground of Dacheng City, and the time was just half past nine.

After getting off the train, Bai Xiaosheng and his group had a local specialty breakfast in Dacheng City.

Dacheng City’s development is currently only average, but the surrounding cities scheduled for major development are geographically forming a semi-encirclement, a done deal. Zunbai Zhisheng’s big data analysis indicates that there should be key planning in place here too, it’s just that specific policies and measures have not been announced yet.

Ron originally thought to take advantage of this ”value depression” before it got developed and decisively grabbed a large piece of land, waiting for its value to surge.

Only, Ron’s choice of partner was unfortunate, picking the wolfish Luo Family as a partner.

If it weren’t for Bai Xiaosheng and his group accidentally stumbling upon this situation, Ron would not have faced the worst outcome, but he might have had to make a painful decision and cut ties with this place.

Bai Xiaosheng felt a bit emotional about this.

After breakfast, Bai Xiaosheng and his group got in touch with Li Ni.

Li Ni ran a small-scale company in this city, initially lacking equipment and personnel. After Xue Lian Wan He got financing and various assistance from business consultants, according to him, the company has been transformed.

Hearing that Bai Xiaosheng and his group had arrived, Li Ni immediately expressed his wish to come pick them up.

Bai Xiaosheng was also considered a benefactor to Li Ni, and the two were friends with common interests.

So, Li Ni was especially enthusiastic.

Bai Xiaosheng and his group waited at the agreed location for forty minutes before Li Ni personally drove over in a seven-seater MPV.

After boarding the vehicle, Bai Xiaosheng did not sit in the back but took the front passenger seat.

”Mr. Li, despite receiving an investment of several million, still personally came to pick us up. Quite the model of austerity,” Bai Xiaosheng teased Li Ni.

”Don’t make fun of me! What Mr. Li? I’m just a passionate young man chasing his dreams,” Li Ni replied with a smile, humorously.

”You’re still a young man; aren’t you being modest,” Bai Xiaosheng continued to tease.

The brief exchange lifted any slight sense of unfamiliarity that arose from not seeing each other for a while.

Subsequently, Li Ni drove while Bai Xiaosheng began chatting with him from the front passenger seat.

After a few sentences, the two delved deep into the craft of purple clay pottery making.

Bai Xiaosheng, through Red Lotus, had already done some homework on this topic.

When Li Ni discovered that Bai Xiaosheng knew a great deal about the subject, he was even more delighted, even complimenting him as half an expert.

Bai Xiaosheng just laughed it off.

In reality, he was still holding back. If he were to speak freely, Li Ni would probably be astounded.

The two enthusiastically exchanged technical terms along the way.

On the other hand, Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying, who were sitting in the back, were like two curious babies, continuously inquiring about various things.

Li Ni patiently explained to them.

Bai Xiaosheng then asked about the raw material problem, which made Li Ni turn towards him.

”Purple clay has many varieties, each burned to produce different colors, textures, and feels. Do you know why I wanted to set up a factory-like company in Dacheng? It’s because there’s a place here rich in Xiao Hongni, which is particularly suitable for use in craftsmanship! Of course, according to my family’s notes, apart from this ingredient, I still need to find another special mineral material! I don’t have any leads on that yet. But with Xiao Hongni, we have already succeeded seventy to eighty percent. Once we find the rest, we can start production immediately,” Li Ni said to Bai Xiaosheng.

”Is it that complex with the materials, with one still missing?” Lin Weiwei exclaimed in surprise.

”The complex craftsmanship recorded in my family’s notes itself has a high level of innovation and is ahead of its time. Even though it was envisioned by my ancestors, I believe it was impossible to accomplish with the craft and equipment of that era!” Li Ni said, ”But with today’s technology, it should not be a problem!”

Li Ni seemed quite excited as he spoke.

Bai Xiaosheng nodded and smiled, saying, ”From your descriptions and the sample image you’ve produced, I’m really looking forward to the finished product!”

Li Ni particularly loved hearing this and burst into hearty laughter.

However, after the laughter, Li Ni added, ”But there’s a problem with the Xiao Hongni we found here. That area, I heard, has changed hands. A big data company from Linshen bought it. I just don’t know if we’ll be able to negotiate with them to continue mining Xiao Hongni.”

That area was bought by a big data company from Linshen?!

Bai Xiaosheng and the others couldn’t help but exchange surprised glances.

”What’s the name of that company? Something Zun...” Li Ni seemed to have trouble recalling.

”Zunbai Zhisheng!” Bai Xiaosheng said.

”That’s right, that company! Ah, you know about it! I wonder if they will start guarding that land strictly!” Li Ni mused, ”After all, that’s a large enterprise, and we’re worlds apart from them! Sheng, since you’re here, you have to help me plead with them for some leeway. Even if it’s embarrassing, we’ll face it together!”
