Hello 1983

  Chapter 312 Hot Potato

  In a savings office on Chaoyang Road in Chuncheng, a dozen strong men suddenly rushed in, startling the staff inside: These guys are not here to rob the bank, are they?

   "Hello, we are here to save money."

  Liu Qingshan smiled at an old salesperson at the counter.

   Then, Li Tieniu and the others behind him opened the two big bags they were holding.

  The old clerk glanced through the window, and was so surprised that the reading glasses almost fell off:

  Money, the sack is full of great unity.

  He has worked here for more than 20 years, and this is the first time he has encountered someone depositing such a large amount of funds at once.

"what!"

  The few people working in the savings office couldn't help but exclaim.

   Soon, the director of the savings bank also heard the news. After a moment of astonishment, he immediately started calling for help.

  There is too much money, and if there are few people, it is simply impossible to count.

   After the reinforcements arrived, the savings bank was closed directly, and this business was done today.

  After the bank started working, Liu Qingshan asked Zhang Long to take the others to dinner first, and then hurried back to the village. The safety of the family was the most important.

   And I also told you that when you go back, it is very necessary to buy more vegetables, meat and other supplies, and you must reward them well.

  Liu Qingshan left Hou San and Li Tie behind, waiting patiently at the savings office.

  No way, although there are money counters in this era, they have not been widely used.

  Working overtime until 7:30 in the evening, it was already dark, and it was considered that all the cash had been counted, a total of 615,020 yuan.

  Liu Qingshan simply took out the 200 yuan change and gave it to the director of the bank to arrange dinner for the staff. After all, it was already too late.

   Now the employees are very happy: a dozen people, eating a feast of 200 yuan, that is simply too extravagant.

  Liu Qingshan and others took their passbooks and hurried back to Guangrong Village.

  Zhang Long and the others have already had dinner, and they are all performing their duties, ready to fight.

  After the crazy sales during the day, I don’t know how many pairs of red eyes are aiming at their flower sheds.

   After a day of tossing, Liu Qingshan was also tired, but he still persevered and took turns to watch the night with everyone.

  In the middle of the night, I lay down on the kang and fell asleep. In my sleep, I seemed to hear sporadic gunshots.

  Young is good!

  The next morning, I woke up refreshed again, only to find in astonishment that there were a bunch of people tied with ropes in the yard, all shivering from the cold.

   "Boss, these were caught last night, and two of them were still carrying shotguns!"

  The old squad leader stepped forward to report that the two guys who were beaten the worst should have attacked with guns.

   For these people, Liu Qingshan has no good solution, he can only teach them a lesson and let them go. As for the police station, don't cause trouble for them.

   Following Clivia's madness, many people have also gone crazy. How can Spring City be so chaotic during this period of time?

  The police are already so busy that they are dizzy, and it would be too immoral to add trouble to others.

  The sales activities continued after daylight. Today is even hotter than yesterday. Not only flower seedlings, but also many merchants are waving banknotes, optimistic about those adult Clivia, crying to buy.

  After consulting Liu Qingshan's opinion, Hou San also announced that he would sell some finished Clivia.

  Of course, the ones sold are of relatively average variety and quality, and the remaining dozens of real high-quality plants have been quietly transferred to the second family of Hou Dahou.

   When he went to the bank to make a deposit in the afternoon, Liu Qingshan knew that today's sales had exceeded one million.

   Just like that, after a week of sales, the Clivia in the greenhouse was basically sold out, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

   These days, everyone is tense and worried, and now they can finally sleep peacefully.

   This kind of delivery speed also greatly exceeded Liu Qingshan's expectations. I thought it would take at least a month or two to sell.

   At this time, another car stopped at the entrance of Guangrong Village.

  Seeing the Maitreya Buddha-like Lu Wen appearing in front of him, Liu Qingshan was also taken aback for a moment: "Secretary Lu, why are you here?"

  As the deputy secretary of the automobile factory, his rank is high enough. Could it be that he also came to buy Clivia?

   Lu Wen was also in a daze, and he was in a daze for a while: How could this Comrade Xiao Liu appear here?

   "Comrade Xiao Liu, are you also here to buy flowers?"

   Lu Wen was followed by Director Hao of the trade union, who also knew Liu Qingshan.

   "I don't buy it, I sell it." Liu Qingshan replied cheerfully.

   Oh, Lu Wen suddenly realized that when he went to Jiapigou, he once took Clivia from the Liu family's shed, but at that time, the price of Clivia was not so crazy, and it was counted as a gift between relatives and friends.

  Unexpectedly, Comrade Xiao Liu really has a vision. He built a flower shed here earlier, and he probably made a lot of money this time, right?

  Thinking about this, Lu Wen still had a smile on his face: "Our Comrade Xiao Liu, if you come to Spring City, if you don't visit me, an old comrade, then I can only visit you."

   "Secretary Lu, I've been so busy these days that I couldn't pay a visit. I'll buy you a drink to apologize later."

  Liu Qingshan has repeatedly pleaded guilty. These days, he dare not go anywhere other than the bank.

   "I don't need to drink, let's enjoy the flowers."

   Lu Wen waved his big fat hand, explaining why he came.

  It turns out that the labor union of the automobile factory wants to develop Clivia breeding.

  In fact, many factories throughout Spring City do the same.

  From Lu Wen, Liu Qingshan learned that a washing machine factory in Chuncheng even built a glass greenhouse on the roof of the factory building to grow Clivia.

   And with the price of Clivia rising repeatedly, for the time being, it seems that they are really making money.

  In this way, there is no need to shy away from paying benefits to employees at the end of the year, and the factory can be generous for a while.

  Of course the trade union of the automobile factory was also greedy and moved their minds. I heard that there is a flower shed here that specializes in Clivia, so I found it here.

  Unexpectedly, I even met an old acquaintance.

  There are acquaintances who are easy to handle, Section Chief Hao excitedly dragged Liu Qingshan: "Go, let's go to your flower shed and have a look first!"

   But when I entered the flower shed, I was immediately dumbfounded. It was empty inside, and there were only three or five pots of limp Clivia seedlings left, which were sick at first sight.

   "You, have you all sold out the flower seedlings?"

   Section Chief Hao looked annoyed: Why did you come late.

  Liu Qingshan smiled and nodded towards him. To be honest, he still has feelings for the car factory. Of course, he doesn't want them to buy flower seedlings and wait for half a year to drop them on their hands.

  So, don't say there are no flower seedlings, even if there are, they will not be sold to them.

   "Qingshan, you should have contacted me earlier." Lu Wen also felt a little regretful.

   "It doesn't seem too late now. Although the flower seedlings are gone, we still have dozens of high-quality plants, all of which are finished flowers."

  Liu Qingshan feels that the automobile factory has this strength.

   This batch of fine Clivia is now a hot potato, just in time to find such a powerful car factory as the next buyer.

  If they make a move before the Spring Festival, they should be able to make a small profit.

  Lu Wen was also overjoyed. He followed Liu Qingshan and went to the Hou family together. When he saw the beautiful pots of Clivia, he was immediately intoxicated.

  Originally, Lu Wen had a preference for flowers like Clivia, so he was fascinated by it all at once.

   Section Chief Hao is different. He simply regards Clivia as a commodity, so he has already discussed the price with Liu Qingshan.

  This time, the automobile factory is also considered a big deal, spending 500,000 yuan to cultivate Clivia.

   But to buy these fine Clivia, the money seems a bit insufficient.

  In the end, Lu Wen chose thousands of pots and chose a total of 16 pots, and spent half a million.

   "Xiao Liu, your price is too high!"

   Chief Hao complained.

  But he knew that Lu Wen knew how to do it, so he just talked about it, and asked Liu Qingshan to follow him to withdraw money.

  Liu Qingshan is not in a hurry, he still has something to talk to Lu Wen about.

  Back to Hou Xilu's house to drink tea, Liu Qingshan smiled and said: "Secretary Lu, if you like my Clivia, I will give you another pot."

  Lu Wen waved his hands again and again: "Even if you dare to give it away now, I dare not take it."

   Then he jokingly said: "What's your plan, kid? Do you feel that the Clivia that was given to me last year felt a loss, so come here to remind me?"

  Liu Qingshan blinked: "Am I so narrow-minded?"

Lu Wen laughed loudly: "If I sell the flowers brought back from you, you will be given the price, but I really like that pot of Clivia, so I will never sell it. Clivia has a price, but friendship priceless."

  Liu Qingshan also felt warm when he heard it, then nodded, his expression became serious:

   "Secretary Lu, I have a question, I hope you can answer it realistically."

   "Oh." Lu Wen also became serious.

   "Secretary Lu, you like Clivia, and you are considered a half-expert. Tell me, is Clivia really worth the price?"

  Lu Wen shook his head lightly, then sighed, at his level, he didn't need to exploit Clivia for his own gain, so he wasn't dazzled, and he could see clearly.

   Just feeling powerless about it.

   "So, on behalf of the car factory, I hope to sell all the Clivia you bought from me before the Spring Festival."

  Liu Qingshan said calmly, he didn't want to bring any trouble to Lu Wen because of this purchase.

   "Qingshan, what do you mean, Clivia will drop in price?"

   Lu Wen thought for a while, then nodded with a wry smile, and said to himself: "That's for sure, but I don't know, who will pass the flowers to in the end in this game of drumming and passing flowers..."

  Hearing what he said, Liu Qingshan felt relieved.

  I just heard Lu Wen continue to mutter: "The flowers have no intentions, but the lack of hearts is really sad."

   "Ahem, Secretary Lu, if you are so sentimental again, you will become Lin Daiyu."

  Liu Qingshan was joking around in the same way. Originally, even individuals can be regarded as forgetful friends.

  Lu Wen glared at him immediately: "Whether Clivia is expensive or cheap, it won't affect my liking anyway, so what does it have to do with me?"

  Liu Qingshan could not help giving a thumbs up: This is the person who really loves flowers.

  At this time, a classic aria from Pingju Opera "Flower as a Match" came out on the radio. Listening to the beautiful and humorous singing of the new teacher and Teacher Zhao, Liu Qingshan was also a little lost in thought.

   And Lu Wen also likes to sing and criticize operas, and he still hums:

   "Those who love flowers, cherish flowers, protect them and raise them."

   "Those who hate flowers, hate flowers and scold flowers and hurt flowers..."

   "Although the garden is full of flowers, I have no intention of admiring them. Mom Ruan, please lead the way. I want to go back to the embroidery room."

   "Qingshan, you lead the way, I want to go back to the factory..."
