Hello 1983

  Chapter 309 Crown for Phoenix Crown

  On October 11, 1984, the Chuncheng City Government passed the "Decision on Naming Clivia as the City Flower of the City".

  The original price limit order of less than 200 yuan, completely existed in name only, and the price of Clivia began to skyrocket overnight.

  On October 15th, the municipal government proposed to develop a "window sill economy", calling on every household to grow three to five pots of Clivia.

  The price of Clivia is rising steadily.

  A flower seedling that cost a few dollars or more than a dozen dollars, has risen to one hundred, two hundred, three hundred, and broke through four hundred in less than half a month, just like blowing soap bubbles.

In several major Clivia markets, Chaoyang Park, Chunchang Station Market, Hongqi Street, Wanbao Street and other places, you hold a pot of Clivia and walk from one end of the market to the other. doubled.

   Entering the beginning of November, in just one month, more than a dozen large companies operating Clivia appeared in Spring City, and there were forty or fifty flower and tree shops specializing in the distribution of Clivia.

   Thousands of people scattered to various places to collect Clivia, transported to Chuncheng, and back and forth by plane.

  The factories, mines, enterprises and citizens of Spring City also joined this wave. Some became rich overnight, while others disappeared quietly...

  After Liu Qingshan and his party entered Spring City, they did not feel the fragrance of Clivia, but first felt the restlessness and madness emanating from this city.

  Just passing by a flower and tree shop, Liu Qingshan was about to go in and have a look, so he drove the car onto the curb and stopped.

  The mute grandpa has the most sensitive senses. He obviously smelled the abnormal atmosphere in this city, so he made gestures with Liu Qingshan:

  The prosperity of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit.

   Liu Qingshan couldn't help but his eyes lit up, it turns out that the master is not a complete rough person, and he also knows such polite sentences.

  Of course he can understand Master's intention, it's because he's worried about him getting lost here.

  So he nodded to the mute grandpa, and gestured a few times: "Master, don't worry, I am also a person who has passed the test of the big yellow croaker."

  The dumb grandfather also showed a smile. That’s right, I didn’t see the apprentice so tempted by those golden gold bars back then, let alone the “green gold bars” like Clivia.

  So, a group of people entered this company called "Fengguan Joint Venture Development Co., Ltd.".

  The main hall in front is about less than 200 square meters, with several rows of flower stands, all of which are naturally Clivia.

   There are at least dozens of people, speaking different accents, wandering in the store, and it really looks like a bustling crowd.

   On the flower stand as soon as you enter the door, there are small flower seedlings with three to five leaves. There is a label under each pot, marking the variety and price.

   Er Biaozi glanced at the nearest sign, then rubbed his eyes involuntarily, and took a closer look. Yes, the marked price was 450 yuan.

   This price is basically equivalent to a young worker's salary for a year.

   "Oh my god, this is too expensive!"

   Zhang Chunyu, who was walking with him, stared wide-eyed, blurted out, and yelled, causing the people in the room to roll their eyes at him.

   Zhang Chunyu, like his second brother, is also ingenious, that's why Liu Qingshan brought him in, opened his eyes, and prepared to train him as a reserve talent in Jiapigou.

   As a result, as soon as he arrived in Chuncheng, his eyes were really opened.

   "Waiter, I bought this potted flower seedling!"

  A middle-aged man in a suit picked up the pot of flower seedlings just now with both hands, and then, a young man who followed him took out a stack of big unity and began to count the money one by one.

   "Sir, you are very discerning. This pot of monk can be sold for at least tens of thousands of yuan if it is raised for two or three years."

  The waiter complimented her mouth, but her hands were busy wrapping the outside of the flower pot with a packing bag, lest it was too cold outside and frostbite the flower seedlings.

  After the money and goods were cleared, the middle-aged man who bought the flower seedlings squinted at Zhang Chunyu:

   "Young man, I suggest you don't wander around here. The flowers inside are all worth tens of thousands of dollars. If you touch a pot of flowers, you won't be able to pay for it if you sell it."

   After finishing speaking, he hugged the flower pot and walked out with his head held high.

   Zhang Chunyu, who was despised by others, also looked angry and clenched his fists.

  Er Biaozi also stared at each other angrily: "What's the big deal, Sanfeng has at least a few thousand of this kind of flower seedlings!"

  He was also on the way here, and he didn't pay much attention to what Liu Qingshan said.

   But I was shocked when I saw the price of flower seedlings just now.

  Thousands of trees?

  The middle-aged man was also taken aback when he heard that, but then he laughed loudly: "Young man, the cow is not so arrogant, you think that the flower seedlings of Clivia are the eggplant seedlings and pepper seedlings in your private plot, hahaha!"

  This guy was choking on what he said, and Er Biaozi and Zhang Chunyu became angry when they heard it. They looked at Liu Qingshan together, asking for opinions with their eyes.

   It is estimated that if Liu Qingshan nods his head, the two brothers will rush forward without hesitation and beat that guy up.

   But Liu Qingshan shook his head at them, and then turned to the middle-aged man:

   "My friend, your surname. If you want to buy flower seedlings, you can go to Guangrong Village in Erdaohezi to find me. I have a greenhouse for cultivating Clivia."

Ok?

  Er Biaozi and Zhang Chunyu beside him were taken aback: Sanfeng, you said the wrong thing, this kind of guy should not sell him the flower seedlings and make him greedy, right?

   "The flower shed in Erdaohezi belongs to you, haha, sorry for the disrespect, I was joking with these two little brothers just now, don't be offended."

  That middle-aged man can change his face faster than turning the pages of a book. Just now he had a look of contempt, but in a blink of an eye he changed into a flattering smile.

   These days, it has spread all over Spring City. There is a fairly large flower shed at Erdaohezi, with tens of thousands of Clivia plants in it.

   Every day, I don’t know how many people want to go there to buy flower seedlings, but they don’t sell any of them.

   This middle-aged man is himself a second-rate dealer. Hearing what Liu Qingshan said, of course he wanted to climb his line.

  Handing the flower pot in his hand to his subordinates, the middle-aged man walked up to Liu Qingshan with a smile, and stretched out his hands enthusiastically:

   "Little brother, it's a pleasure to meet you, my name is Wang Jiawang, please take care of me!"

  Liu Qingshan also shook hands with him with a smile: "Doing business, peace makes money, who would be against money."

   "Haha, that makes sense, little brother, it's already noon, brother invites you to the restaurant." Wang Jiawang also extended the invitation very proudly.

  Eating is free, this guy looks down on others, and Liu Qingshan doesn't mind teaching him a lesson.

  As for selling flower seedlings to him, such a greedy person will definitely not accept them as soon as they are good. When the price of Clivia plummets in the next summer, he will cry.

   After chatting for a while, Wang Jiawang nodded and left, while Liu Qingshan and the others continued to stroll in the hall.

  Going forward, the adult Clivia is placed on the flower stand. This season, it will soon be the flowering season of Clivia, so many flowers have sprung out of the stiles, and they are in bud.

  Looking at the price on the label, Er Biaozi and Zhang Chunyu are completely silent now.

  The ones with the lowest price tags are thousands of yuan, and those with tens of thousands of yuan are also rare.

   With such a high price, there is still an endless stream of people buying it.

   "Sanfeng, when I was at home, I thought it was a great thing to become a million-dollar household, but only now did I realize that what a ten-thousand-dollar household can't even afford a pot of flowers."

  Zhang Chunyu whispered to Liu Qingshan that he was completely hit this time.

  Er Biaozi also expressed his incomprehension: "Sanfeng, why do you think these flowers are so valuable?"

Liu Qingshan said unhurriedly: "The current situation is not normal, just like a game we played when we were young, drumming and passing flowers. At that time, the price of Clivia will plummet, but I don't know. In the end, this flower will fall to in whose hands."

  Those two are usually quite clever. After listening to Liu Qingshan's explanation, they both broke out in a cold sweat. It looked like they were holding a worthless flowerpot in their arms at the end.

   "Understood, the person surnamed Wang just now will definitely die a miserable death in the end."

   Er Biaozi's IQ regained the high ground.

   "Sanfeng, what about us?" Zhang Chunyu also began to worry about the large number of Clivia in Liu Qingshan's hands.

   "Of course we have to shoot all Clivia before the drumbeat stops." Liu Qingshan patted him on the shoulder with a smile.

   While he was talking, he heard a noise at the door, and then saw a group of people in suits and leather shoes walking in.

   "It seems to be a Hong Kong businessman. We can't understand what they are saying."

   "It must be a Hong Kong businessman, and the language they speak is Cantonese."

   "Hey, the car I'm sitting in is so high-end, and the crown is still new!"

  The original guests in the room were talking softly.

  Even the manager of this flower and tree company was alarmed and approached him personally.

  The manager is a middle-aged man who is nearly forty years old. He has a face with Chinese characters and an extraordinary bearing. He greeted him neither humble nor overbearing: "Welcome to Fengguan Flower Company."

   A Hong Kong businessman headed by said hello in awkward Mandarin:

   "Thunder Monkey, you are Mr. Guo, and your surname is Huang. We heard that you have a pot of precious Clivia phoenix crown here. We came here to open our eyes."

  It was only then that Liu Qingshan realized that the name of this Fengguan flower company had such a source.

  The manager Guo couldn't refuse, so he led the crowd all the way to the innermost place. On a separate flower stand, there was only a pot of Clivia.

  It is tall and dignified, with dark green leaves stretched out, as if exuding a green luster.

  The entire leaf shape is perfect, like a flower fairy with a phoenix crown, attracting everyone's attention.

  A low exclamation sounded from the crowd. Everyone was shocked by the beauty of this phoenix crown, and it definitely has the qualifications to overwhelm the crowd.

   "Mr. Guo, 50,000 yuan, let's buy it." The Hong Kong businessman is also a man of pride, and he has the posture of spending a lot of money.

  But that manager Guo shook his head: "I'm sorry, sir, the phoenix crown is the treasure of our flower and tree company, and it is not for sale."

   To the Hong Kong businessman, what is not for sale is just a bargaining chip, so he stretched out his hand and pointed out the window:

   "Mr. Guo, I saw that the Crown sedan is not there. I just proposed it. It costs a total of 90,000 yuan. I will exchange it for your Clivia, okay!"

   Hiss, there was a sound of air-conditioning in the room.
