Rebirth begins with marrying an educated youth

Chapter 192 Cultivating new varieties

"Xiao Ji, let's put it this way, it's not easy to run your business."

Boss Hua sighed and said to Ji Yuanhai.

Ji Yuanhai nodded: "Yes, Uncle Hua."

“Study and business cannot be balanced after all.”

Boss Hua also said: "Yes, it is indeed impossible to take both things into consideration. Xiaoji, you are still studying politics and law. It can be said that you are at a very important intersection in your life. If you miss it, you will never have the opportunity to choose again."

Having said this, he was a little unwilling after all and asked: "Xiao Ji, if you have free time now and devote all your efforts to cultivating flowers and plants, how many acres of flowers and plants can you plant?"

Ji Yuan Haixin said: It is indeed so.

However, this boss Hua is an outsider after all, so how could Ji Yuanhai tell him everything?

He immediately said: "How many acres of land are there? Even if I have free time, I can only take care of hundreds of pots of flowers. If there are more, I really can't take care of them."

Boss Hua felt disappointed again.

Then I thought about it, and this is actually a reasonable thing.

Xiao Ji is so young that there is no way that many people who have grown flowers and grass for thousands of years have not discovered the secret. He discovered it himself - but he relied on his high energy, patience and meticulousness to use his talent for growing flowers and grass. It is through exertion that we have these fine flowers and plants.

The truth was revealed, and Boss Hua felt quite boring.

Just a flower and plant shop like this, no matter how high-quality products it is, it’s just a small amount of money.

The flower boss gave up his plan to cooperate with Ji Yuanhai on a large scale to grow flowers and plants, so he spoke more directly: "Xiao Ji, since your energy is limited now, why don't you specialize in cultivating some rare flower varieties?"

"Look at your shop. There are pine trees, bamboos, plum blossoms, and chrysanthemums... It doesn't make much money, right? Why not just turn your Fangcaoxuan into a place that only sells precious flowers and plants? Wouldn't it be more profitable? Don’t waste your energy?”

Ji Yuanhai pondered and said: "Uncle Hua, of course I am willing to do your idea. If it can be done, I will get the most benefits with the least energy."

“But I don’t have much experience in this area, and I also lack some rare varieties.”

"Besides, even if I really do this, how can there be so many rich people in the provincial capital now? If the precious flowers and plants cannot be sold, the time and energy invested will be in vain."

Boss Hua smiled and said: "Why can't it be sold? As long as there is a way, it can be sold after all."

"Besides, flowers and plants are sold at high prices. There is also knowledge involved in this."

"Xiao Ji, do you want to listen to me?"

Ji Yuanhai immediately nodded slightly: "Uncle Hua is willing to teach me, of course I am willing to learn something from you."

Boss Hua smiled and said: "Okay, since you are willing to learn, I will tell you."

"Anyway, I'm here to see the flowers and plants today. I've got half a day of free time, and even if I'm free, I'm free."

Ji Yuanhai invited him to sit down and brought him tea.

Of course, Boss Hua didn't touch this kind of ordinary tea, but just waved his hand to indicate to Ji Yuanhai that he didn't need to treat him like this.

Then, Boss Hua said: "Xiao Ji, with the way you grow flowers and plants, this is how you will make money. There will never be any other breakthroughs."

"Of course, for today's provincial capital income level, you are considered an absolute rich man, and you probably have a huge sum of more than [-] yuan in your hand; but time has moved forward, and today's huge sum of [-] yuan, How long it can be used and how useful it will be in the future, even I can’t tell clearly.”

“The more money you have, the better, that’s for sure.”

Ji Yuanhai nodded in agreement: "Yes, Uncle Hua, you are right, I think so too."

"If it weren't for this consideration, I would have waited patiently for a job after graduation, which would have been a bright path."

"But if you have money in your hands, your life will be more abundant and you will be more sure after all."

Boss Hua nodded: "If you have such an idea, it means that you are also a business talent - it is really a pity to go to the political and legal department."

"Having said that, we all know the importance of making money, so we have to consider how you can get more money to the greatest extent if you don't have enough energy and are relatively skilled at growing flowers."

"I'll tell you three ways, you can try them all."

"The first one is to specialize in planting rare domestic flowers and plants, such as Longchangsu, Songmei, and the popular Clivia. There are also other varieties... You mainly deal with these, and each pot of flowers should not be less than [-]. Often hundreds.”

"If things go on like this, I should be able to earn several times more than your current store."

Ji Yuanhai nodded.

The flower boss continued: "Second, if we introduce some rare and strange flowers and plants from abroad and sell them at high prices, we will definitely gain a lot."

Ji Yuan Haixin said, forget it, it will easily cause ecological pollution, and I have no way to do this now.

Of these two methods, the first one is more likely to be implemented.

But after all, it is restricted by another factor - the average income level of the provincial capital cannot support the sales of so many luxury flowers.

If Ji Yuanhai specializes in selling precious flowers and plants, then no one will ever queue up to buy flowers and plants at Fangcaoxuan.

Boss Hua didn't care about Ji Yuanhai's thoughts, and continued to say with a smile: "Then the third method is to see through it without telling it."

Ji Yuanhai was stunned for a moment: "Uncle Hua, what is this statement?"

"Actually, it's a set, not just a set in the flower and plant market, but also a set for all flowers, birds, insects, fish, cultural relics, calligraphy and paintings." The flower boss said with a smile, "You take out something, even though it's a mess, it's nothing, but I Stand up and shout, oh, isn’t this what and what, I’ll pay 3 yuan to buy it!”

"For example, if you take a brick, I say this is the brick that Meng Jiangnu cried about. I offer 4 yuan, and if you don't sell it to me, someone will offer [-] yuan, so you can sell a brick for [-] cents for [-] yuan. out."

"Or, I paid 2 yuan, and you sold me this brick; someone picked up the second brick and bought it for 1 yuan; the third brick, someone bought it for 3 yuan... ...They all felt that they had taken advantage. In fact, you returned the 2 yuan to me. You sold the second brick and the third brick for a total of four cents, which was 1 yuan plus [-] yuan— —”

Era Hai interface said: "Actually, not only will I return the 3 yuan to you, but we will also have to divide the 3 yuan earned equally, and you will even have to take the lion's share."

"Because it was you who stood up and offered a high price for the two-cent bricks. It was also your reputation and status that allowed people to believe the high price."

Boss Hua immediately clapped his hands and laughed loudly: "Xiao Ji, you know how to do business on Hua Niao Street!"

"This kind of trick is not only used in our flower and bird street, but also in foreign countries selling some messy oil paintings, as well as auctioning some jade, antique calligraphy and painting cultural relics."

"Without a condom or a support, these calligraphy and paintings get cheaper the more you shoot them. Isn't that just a loss of money?"

Ji Yuanhai nodded: "Uncle Hua, what you said is so shocking."

"The first way is, I feel that there are not so many customers here in the provincial capital, so I'm afraid we won't be able to do this."

"The second way, I feel there are no channels to buy rare flowers from abroad, and there is no way to do this." "The third way, I am determined to do this, and I won't sell two cents for tens of thousands. Just selling something worth a few hundred or thousands of dollars to tens of thousands is still a considerable amount of income after all.”

"It's just that I don't have anyone reliable and authoritative enough to support me, and it's not feasible."

Boss Hua only chatted. In fact, ever since he discovered that Jiyuanhai could not create large-scale benefits for him, he mainly chatted.

Listening to Ji Yuanhai's words, Boss Hua said with a smile: "The third method is indeed to make money quickly, otherwise there wouldn't be so many people working hard to do it."

"However, the Longchangsu and Songmei you planted may not be able to be sold at a high price if Lu Chenglin helps to promote it; for example, if you participate in this year's flower exhibition, if you can win the championship, you should be able to sell two or three thousand yuan. it is also fine."

"But if you can make a splash at the flower show, for example by bringing out a rare flower in the world, and cooperate with Lu Chenglin to shout a high price, you might be able to successfully gain a lot of money."

Ji Yuanhai thought thoughtfully: "Rare flowers and plants in the world?"

“Where can I find flower seeds or plants?”

The flower boss said: "You can use exotic flowers and plants from foreign countries, but if you really want to shock the exhibition and sell them at a high price, you have to get a flower that you cultivate yourself."

"For example, orchids, various varieties have different appearances. Through cultivation and selection of appearance and characteristics, you can make a special, one-only new orchid variety, and then someone will ask for a high price of tens of thousands, and [-]% of it will be done."

Ji Yuanhai was stunned and said in his heart: This is not simple!
Let the orchid slightly change its appearance and become a new species. For Ji Yuanhai, this is simply a piece of cake.

"Uncle Hua, if we do this, can we only come up with one new variety at a time to ensure the maximum profit?"

Ji Yuanhai asked.

The flower boss suddenly burst out laughing: "Xiao Ji, you are a veteran at growing flowers and plants, how could you say such a thing?"

"It takes who knows how many years to cultivate an astonishing, relatively mature orchid that can form a species. Needless to say, the hard work involved is also rare."

"Strictly speaking, this is the first time I have encountered such a flower. If I were really tempted by it, I would have to pay for a mouthful of soup. Tens of thousands of dollars is nothing, and this is not a scam. , but a kind of transaction between you and me."

"You ask me if you can get the most benefit by taking out one flower seed at a time. I have to say, do you think you can take out several flower seeds at a time?"

Ji Yuanhai nodded with a look of surprise on his face, but he thought in his heart: If I didn't need to hide my ability, I could probably show you seven colors of rainbow orchids today... You've never seen it before. of.

"How much money can you make from just this flower seed?" Ji Yuanhai asked.

The flower boss said: "If there really is such a flower seed, then you cannot sell the original one. After you sell it, the original one will no longer be with you, and you will have nothing to do with making money in the future."

"For example, if you become famous at a flower expo, and then you sell seedlings or finished products for thousands of dollars per pot, then the flow will flow, and the authentic source is here, you will gain both fame and fortune."

After Ji Yuanhai heard this, his heart suddenly pounded.

This method is good.

Not counting Fangcaoxuan's business, as long as he comes up with a "newly cultivated" famous orchid species, he will be able to continuously earn more than [-] yuan in the remaining three years of college, and it is very easy.

Boss Hua couldn't help but laugh when he saw Ji Yuanhai's expression: "You also think this method is good?"

Ji Yuanhai nodded: "This method of making money that Uncle Hua mentioned really made me excited. I just feel like I want to come up with a new pot of famous orchids now."

Boss Hua said: "There's no rush!"

"You have to be patient and cultivate it. If you can bring out a new pot of famous orchids during the flower exhibition in the provincial capital next year or the year after, I will join in the fun and shout out the price with Lu Chenglin."

At this point, he himself laughed - how is this possible?
How can it be such a simple and easy thing to cultivate new varieties of orchids? If you are not careful, all your efforts will be wasted.

And sometimes it has been successful, but because the quality is not good and the expected appearance cannot be achieved, we have to start over.

Some of the so-called orchid masters and orchid experts have really been obsessed with it for most of their lives and devoted themselves to it like crazy people. In the past few years, because the country did not support hypocritical people, there were very few. Now that the economy is recovering, these flower and plant hobbies have also Following the comeback, some people who were obsessed with flowers and plants also regained their soil.

Seeing Boss Hua's appearance, Ji Yuanhai sighed inwardly: It seems that I really can't bring out a pot of new orchids right away.

At least not this year.

You can't just tell Boss Hua what he said and just take it out. That would simply be telling people like Boss Hua that there is something wrong with him.

However, even if it is taken out next year, it would be good.

After all, this is a quick way to make money.

After coming back to his senses, Ji Yuanhai thanked the flower boss: "Uncle Hua, I really want to thank you for your kind care. If I am really lucky enough to cultivate a new famous orchid——"

"When the time comes, you come to me and I will definitely help you!" Boss Hua said with a smile.

People are willing to help bid, increase the reputation of orchids, and help the orchids of Era Sea. Of course Era Sea would like to sincerely thank you.

After the flower delivery boss left, Ji Yuanhai thought twice and decided not to come up with "new orchid varieties" this year.

Although wealth is within reach, it is not appropriate to be too showy and make others feel strange.

When the money is not available, it will be bad if it causes disaster first.

In the afternoon, Lu Heling asked Wang Zhuyun to help look at the store for a while, and took Ji Yuanhai out of Fangcaoxuan.

Wang Zhuyun has been visiting stores with Ji Yuanhai for a long time, and he is quite familiar with the prices, so visiting stores is not a problem.

Ji Yuanhai was led by Lu Heling, and he didn't ask where he was going until he got on the bus.

On the one hand, I wanted to buy some things for the Ji family and Liu Xianglan to go back to the provincial capital; on the other hand, I wanted to go to the Great Buddha Temple again.

Ji Yuanhai understood Lu Heling's thoughts almost instantly, and comforted Liu Xianglan to stop her from thinking wildly.

Lu Heling was so tolerant, Ji Yuanhai couldn't help but be more and more moved by her warmth and thoughtfulness.

The two of them ran around for half an afternoon. In addition to buying gifts for the adults and children of the Ji family, Liu Xianglan and her daughter, they also bought two gifts for Wang Zhuyun's grandfather.

One was given to Mr. Wang by them, and the other was given by Wang Zhuyun to Grandpa. They bought it for Wang Zhuyun.

After I finished my shopping and returned to Fangcaoxuan, it was almost time to close.

At dinner that day, Ji Yuanhai told Lu Heling and Wang Zhuyun that Boss Hua was coming today and what they had to say.

Wang Zhuyun reminded Ji Yuanhai: "Even if you can't come up with famous flower varieties, you should still sign up to participate in flower exhibitions and try... The flowers and plants you grow are already very good. If you become more famous, your business will be better."

Ji Yuanhai nodded: "You are right. I don't know if it is too late to sign up now."

"Before I go back tomorrow, I will go to the Nanshi Street Sub-district Office and ask Deputy Director Cao if there is a chance to sign up."
