Since Ye Wei said that he would arrange it casually, Gu Wei shrugged his shoulders and turned around to ask the bodyguard:

"Hey, man, do you know what else Portland has to offer, or what to do, besides the Trail Blazers?"

The white bodyguard was stunned: "I'm sorry boss...... I'm not a local either. All I know is that the most famous in Portland is, of course, the International Rose Fair, which has a history of 70 years and displays many of the world's latest grafted rose subspecies every year. That's why Portland is called the City of Roses, and Americans know that. ”

Gu Biao twisted his neck to the other side again: "Na, don't you want to watch the NBA and the International Rose Expo?"

"This ...... Let's just make it ugly. Ye Su sighed helplessly, and twisted his head slightly to the side without moving, hiding the change in his face.

In fact, she was still not interested in her heart, but she had already rejected Gu Ao's first proposal just now, and she didn't want to refuse again, which would leave a bad impression that "this woman is difficult to serve".

Gu Wei gently pushed Ye Su into the car, then sat on the other side by himself, and instructed the bodyguard to drive immediately: "Let's go, then go to the pavilion of the International Rose Expo!"

The bodyguard glanced at the map a few times, and then kicked the accelerator, and the Cadillac started steadily - I forgot to mention that this car was actually rented, because Gu Biao didn't plan to stay in a small city like Portland for long, and he didn't have a few chances to come back in his life.

It's too much to buy a car, and you can't drive it away on a yacht.

In the United States, as early as the 80s, next to the airports of major cities, almost just next to the airport exit, the most car rental companies were the most.

People here are used to renting a car as the first thing they do when they arrive in a new city, otherwise it is almost impossible to get around.

Because the labor cost of a taxi is too expensive, it is much higher than driving yourself.

Although Gu Biao doesn't care about small money, since there are white bodyguards all the year round, it is safer and more comfortable to let the bodyguards rent a high-end car to drive, and the convenience is also high.

Fifteen minutes later, the convoy drove along the Columbia River to a huge glass garden, and then the bodyguards helped to get the ticket, and Gu Biao took the girl in to visit.

The name of the fair park is simple, Rose-Garden in English.

When you buy a ticket, you can also add money to buy a commentary service, and the bodyguard helped Gu Biao buy it without asking, so there was a blonde female docent who served as a tour guide for Gu Biao.

"Dear Sir and Miss, it is a pleasure to serve you, I am Catherine, the docent of this garden. The blonde greeted politely, then leaned sideways to lead the way, whispering as she introduced,

"Our International Rose Exposition campus in Portland was built in 1917, when the United States had just entered World War I. Originally, in Europe, the French had a tradition of holding a rose festival, but because of the devastation of the war, that year was chosen on the American continent, far away from the war.

At that time, several cities in the United States participated in the bidding, and in the end, because the climate and environment of Portland are the most suitable for the growth and planting of roses, the expert panel of various countries chose Portland after review, which is the pride of our city. ”

Compared with listening to the female commentary, Ye Kun prefers to observe secretly.

She walked a little halfway, scanned the panorama, and was deeply shocked.

In this garden, I am afraid that there are tens of thousands of roses - note that the quantifier here is "plant", that is, there are so many trees, not tens of thousands of flowers.

In English, the Chinese words "rose", "rose", and "moon season" used to be translated as Rose. Therefore, the varieties that should be exhibited in the "rose garden" in Western culture are actually more than we Chinese think, and the plants are not only small shrubs below 2 meters, so they look staggered and have a very strong visual impact.

Any woman, if she sees that she is surrounded by more than 10,000 rose trees, she can't help but exclaim, "it", this feeling may not be understandable to men.

"Why don't there seem to be many tourists?" Ye Kun couldn't help but ask.

The female commentator explained: "Because the natural flowering season is almost over, only the greenhouse flowering season is still continuing, and the flowering amount is far less than the peak season. The rose garden has a natural flowering season in April ~ October, but the best viewing season is in June, when all the trees are in full bloom, and the park can receive more than 10,000 visitors every day, and half of the annual visitors can be seen in one month. ”

Ye Kun looked left and right, on a day like today, it is estimated that there are no 1,000 tourists, and at this moment, there are at most two or three hundred people in the park.

But this is also good, Chinese are not as lively as Americans, especially the elegant thing of flower viewing, the quieter the better.

Ye Su thought about it, and couldn't help but find a swing chair entwined with vines and flowers among the flowers, and shook it gently.

"Aren't you going to do it once, aren't you tired of walking?" After shaking for a while, Ye Su was a little embarrassed to see Gu Biao standing stupidly next to him, doing nothing.

"I'm not tired, I've been sitting in a plane and car for a long time, I'll help you shake it." Gu Wei said, walked behind Ye Kun, and pulled the iron chains on both sides with both hands at the same time and shook them gently.

Ye Kun squinted his eyes comfortably, leaned back in the chair, and relaxed.

The swing rocking chair is quite wide and can seat three people. But because of this, ordinary people can only push the chair to shake, if the force is uneven, it is easy to shake left and right at different frequencies, and the person sitting will feel dizzy.

And Gu Biao is tall and big, with an arm span of more than 1.8 meters, so he can grasp the iron chains on both sides at the same time, and the force is very uniform and stable.

In Ye Kun's mind, he remembered the scene in "The Family of Gold Powder", where Bai Xiuzhu sat on a swing. This is the second time she has a sense of immediacy, which is very subtle.

The last time, it was four years ago, with Gu Biao on the cable car in the red leaves of Xiangshan and the autumn wind.

It's a pity.

However, the straight man broke the silence again, and Gu Biao took the initiative to ask Catherine: "Are there any other interesting activities to introduce here?

"I can tell you all the varieties of roses here – there are more than 500 of them. Catherine said, but she also saw that Gu Biao was not too interested, so she continued to throw dry goods,

"In addition, if you have more time, you can participate in the auction of new commemorative plants in the afternoon. Every year, more than 50 varieties of roses are newly bred from all over the world, and after the exhibition, the commemorative model plants are auctioned. It is the world's first rose plant that has been confirmed to be a new variety. Today is the weekend, and there will be an auction in the afternoon. ”

Gu Biao asked again, only to know that this is in the park, and one plant will be sold every weekend, in order to attract the popularity of tourists, and people come to play every week.

The expo was opened in June, which means that these varieties have been exhibited in June and have been certified as new varieties, but the samples submitted for review are kept.

The follow-up development is of course logical and natural.

Gu Biao followed Ye Kun heartlessly, and enjoyed the peony for three hours, left the park in the middle to eat and drink coffee next to it, and then came back in the afternoon to participate in the auction - it was not an auction, because only a few dozen coincidental tourists participated by the way, and no one came to buy flowers at all.

So, the competition is not fierce. In the end, Gu Biao spent 27,000 US dollars to buy a "Carola Cold Beauty" that is said to have a certification certificate and can be confirmed to be the world's first strain.

Gu Biao didn't understand the difference between this variety and other old varieties, anyway, it looked like a kind of color-changing flower with very huge flowers and a diameter of 10 centimeters, with a gradient transition from a pale pink petal edge to a lilac flower heart.

"Is this a new variety? I think it's all because the flowers are too big, and when they reach the edges, they don't have enough purple pigment, so they turn pink. After spending the money, Gu Biao took a serious observation and couldn't help but complain.

This kind of spicy words, Ye Su on the side was speechless and felt a burst of liver pain: "Hey, why are you like this? Since you don't know how to appreciate it, don't buy it." The old gentleman just now I think he knows how to spend, it's just that people don't have as much money as you, and I can't stand it after calling more than 20,000 dollars, so I think it's better to let the people who cherish flowers buy it. ”

"It's different, I finally came to Portland, of course, I have to leave a little high-profile consumption record to decorate my gentleman's attributes. This is an auction, and it is a great opportunity to leave a name. Gu Biao didn't realize it at all, "Even if I don't know how to appreciate it, when the time comes, I throw it in the villa of the Seattle island owner and invite the guests to see it, and they will appreciate my taste." ”

"Such an elegant thing, it's really a pearl. Ye Su sneered.

Gu Biao: "Then let's do it, after I put it out for the guests to see, if you are interested in this tree, I will give it to you, and you can take it and plant it." ”

Ye Kun: "I don't want to be bribed by you! This is a rose tree for more than 20,000 US dollars, and we have discipline." ”

Gu Biao shrugged indifferently: "There is a fart discipline, did you buy this rose for more than 20,000 dollars? No, I bought this certificate with the signature of the Organizing Committee of the International Rose Expo, which proves that it is the world's first 'Carola Cold Beauty'." This thing is just like a diamond certificate, it's just a gimmick.

Now the certificate is in my hand, I went to Seattle when I went back, and I also used this tree and certificate to pretend to be forced in front of my business partners, and everyone knew that 'the world's first Carola cold beauty was bought by Gu Wei', and this tree has no value. All you can take away is the flesh of a tree, what is it worth? Such a rose has no soul. ”

"Tyrannical creatures, alas, it's just that, I know that you are such a layman, when you finish pretending, give me this tree, I will raise it well, it is better than being played to death in your hands. Ye Kun's inner reluctance was stimulated.

She really felt that Gu Biao's cold words made sense.

What is valuable is the certificate, not the tree. As long as there is no certificate that this is the first new species in the world, no one will believe it.

"No problem, after pretending, you can take all these allergic things, but I won't let you take it for nothing, you have to help me come up with ideas - Portland is a rare duty-free capital, all the luxury goods I need to support the façade after I go to Seattle and Vancouver, I hope you can help me buy all the luxury goods that I need, and load them on the yacht together tonight, until they are full." I don't want to go to Seattle and be wronged by the high consumption tax. ”

If you want Gu Biao to have a treat, of course, there is a price.

Ye Kun thought about it, then give this guy a purchase, as for the hospitality part, it should be his own labor fee.

This is not considered to be the benefit of accepting Gu Biao.

Spending money is very tiring, especially when it comes to helping others buy and buy, and it's not the right thing to charge for labor fees.
