Chapter 7 Phnom Penh colored leaves are bright in the east
In the face of many astonished eyes, Shen Mo looked still, holding the camellia tree in both hands, and slowly walked around the market.
He could keenly perceive that a group of people were soon following behind him, pointing at his flower fingers, but no one came forward to inquire for the time being.
He was not familiar with this place at all, so he followed the stupidest method and went straight to the flower and bird shop with the largest faΓ§ade and the most luxurious looking.
There is a plaque hanging on the door of this flower and bird shop, on which there are three big characters of dragon flying and phoenix dancing - Yipintang!
"Little brother, please stay!"
Shen Mo was about to raise his feet to enter the door, but at this time, the few people who had been following him behind him finally couldn't help it, and someone shouted and quickly followed.
These people are all in suits and leather shoes, looking like they are in their forties, with smiles on their faces, but they can see at a glance that these people have a kind of businessman's taste, they understand flowers, but they don't necessarily love flowers.
He knew that if he wanted to sell for a good price, he would definitely sell to a person who loved flowers, not a group of profit-seeking merchants, because he was silent and didn't understand business, so he didn't bother to grind and chirp with a group of merchants, and he didn't talk to him.
"This little brother, I am Boss Zhao of Jin Fugui, running a little flower and herb business, I see that the camellia in my hand is extraordinary, why don't you go and sit in my shop?" said one of the fat-headed and big-eared men with a smile.
Although this person spoke politely, his right hand couldn't help but speak, and he wanted to directly grab Shen Mo and follow him.
Shen frowned, his body moved, and he skillfully avoided it.
But soon, another boss also walked up, a tall lean man, with a bitter gourd face that was originally wrinkled together, and at this time squeezed out a smile:
"Little brother, I am Ludongcheng at the end of the world, I am very familiar with the value of the flowers in your hands, maybe, we can talk?"
Compared with the fat-headed and big-eared Boss Zhao, this Lu Dongcheng is obviously much more polite, but the greedy color of the camellia tree in the other party's eyes can't be hidden.
He subconsciously held the camellia tree tightly and said indifferently: "If you understand flowers, you may not love flowers, I only sell people who love flowers." β
Lu Dongcheng was stunned when he heard this, his face was a little unsightly, and at this time, there were also people around who walked up, all looking at the camellia tree in Shen Mo's hand, with a look of surprise, and pointed.
"Tsk, what kind of camellia is this? Even people from the ends of the earth are fighting for it?"
Someone saw Boss Zhao and Lu Dongcheng, and was immediately surprised, he was just a beginner, but he knew the boss of this place almost well.
"You don't even know this?
A man wearing gold-rimmed glasses and dressed like an intellectual snorted disdainfully, looking at the camellia tree in Shen Mo's hand was also greedy, but he knew that with Boss Zhao and Lu Dongcheng here, he would definitely be useless.
People have a big business, this young man wants to sell, he must also sell it to the two of them, not to mention, this is still the door of Yipintang!
"You know, tell me about it!"
The man in front of him was not convinced, and immediately shouted, and there were also people around who looked at the gold-rimmed glasses, as if they did not know much about the variety of the camellia tree.
Only Boss Zhao and Lu Dongcheng frowned, showing unhappy looks, but they couldn't stop it.
At this time, if they stopped the gold-rimmed glasses, it would be tantamount to provoking the anger of the public.
Not only others, but also silently himself, but also curious, what kind of variety of camellia tree in his hand is, he originally just thought it was good-looking, and he could probably sell it for a price, but now it seems that he still underestimates it a little.
Seeing that the people around him were looking at him curiously, he suddenly felt that his vanity skyrocketed, he has been immersed in this way for decades, but because of his net worth, he has not been able to get a few good things, and now he can show his talent in front of all his colleagues, which is also a great joy in life, and in retrospect, it is enough for him to blow for a year.
He took a deep breath, looked at the camellia tree in Shen Mo's hand, and said solemnly:
"Actually, this camellia tree is not very famous, because it is a new variety that has only appeared in the last two years. β
New variety?
So what's so surprising about that?
Can it be worthy of Boss Zhao and Lu Dongcheng?
The next words of the gold wire glasses immediately answered the doubts in everyone's hearts, and directly shocked a group of people.
"However, this variety has just come out, and it immediately caused a great sensation, because this camellia tree is more expensive than a normal camellia tree, and it is difficult to serve, even if it is a master, it may not be able to make the camellia bloom, this is one of them. β
Second, when the young leaves of this camellia tree are new, they are crisp and fresh, and if you look closely, you can find that each leaf edge is colored golden, and under the sun, it is even more golden. β
Hearing this, everyone immediately looked carefully at the camellia tree, and suddenly someone exclaimed: "Sure enough, the young leaves of the camellia tree have golden light. β
Immediately, many people exclaimed, looking at the camellia tree in Shen Mo's hand, salivating one by one, as if they were not looking at a camellia tree, but a shy beautiful lady.
Shen Mo's heart moved slightly, and he immediately adjusted the positioning of this potted flower.
At this moment, the golden wire glasses were excited, and continued: "Third, when this camellia blooms, it is extremely beautiful, and it is the so-called thousands of calls to come out, still holding the pipa and half covering the face, which is what it is talking about, the flower bones are like a shy girl, slowly growing into a beautiful lady, the feeling of scratching her ears and cheeks, and wanting to stop is the most unrelenting." β
After saying this, the gold wire glasses sighed: "But this kind of flower is very difficult to live, very difficult to live! Humidity, temperature, pH, must be controlled very accurately, sometimes as soon as the weather changes, the flower is easy to get sick, and then die." Therefore, it is relatively not difficult to get this variety of camellia seedlings, but the difficulty is how to raise her. In the constant temperature room of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, one out of ten plants can survive and bloom, which is already a remarkable achievement. β
Some people praised it, but some people were unhappy and said, "What do you say? Maybe you are in the same group with this young man, so what should you do for him?!"
"Am I a trust?" the golden glasses were angry, "I will be a senior researcher of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences here?" Besides, even if I am a trust, are these bosses also a trust?!"
As soon as he said this, no one immediately questioned it.
No one cares if the golden wire glasses are a senior researcher of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, but Boss Zhao and Lu Dongcheng are indeed here, and they are obviously interested in this flower.
Besides, even if they're not there, they're not blind.
Even if they don't know the origin of its variety, it doesn't affect their understanding of this camellia tree
Looking forward to it, it seems that it is not the camellia tree that is silently held, but a shy girl, a mature and charming beautiful lady.
Boss Zhao and Lu Dongcheng glanced at each other, looked at each other, and both saw the strong battle intent in each other's eyes. Especially Boss Zhao, he was just a little suspicious before, but he just wanted to gamble, but after listening to that person's preaching at this time, he suddenly had to fight for the camellia tree.
Lu Dongcheng snorted coldly, now that he and Boss Zhao are in a situation, it is not yet known who will kill the deer, so it is naturally worthy of the other party.
"By the way, what is this camellia tree called?" someone asked.
Although some of them are hot in their hearts, they also know that they are not the opponents of Boss Zhao and Lu Dongcheng, and they may not be able to compete, after all, there is only one, but if they know the name, they will still have a chance to get it in the future, so as not to miss it again.
"Phnom Penh colored leaves are bright in the east!"
At this time, in Yipintang, a figure walked out, silently and violently turned back, and the previous voice was said by this person.
"Xie Chongjun, the boss of Yipintang?" someone exclaimed.
"I heard that he is also the manager of this flower and plant market, and it is because of his existence that this flower and plant market can continue for so long. β
Shen Mo's eyes flickered, Xie Chongjun was more than one meter tall in this southern city, and the other party gave him a peculiar feeling, as if the other party was like a person from the deep mountains and old forests, with a very simple and natural taste.
"Little brother is right, people who understand flowers may not be people who love flowers! And I, the person who loves flowers, I wonder if this brother can come in and sit down with his face?"
Xie Chongjun's eyes narrowed slightly, looking at Shen Mo, as for the camellia tree, the other party just glanced at it, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, but there was no greed.
Silent in his heart, he suddenly smiled and nodded: "It's an honor!"
He held the camellia tree and entered the Yipintang directly, Boss Zhao and Lu Dongcheng on the side had ugly faces, their hands clenched, their chests continued to rise and fall, and they seemed to be angry, but in the end, the two of them shook their heads and sighed and left here.
"Hey, how did I forget Xie Chongjun? Yes, yes, he is a flower lover, and he will definitely not let famous flowers fall into the hands of merchants, it can only be defiled. The person who introduced the silent camellia tree before also shook his head when he saw the scene in front of him.
Everyone originally didn't care much about the camellia tree in Shen Mo's hand, but after listening to the explanation, they were immediately excited, and even they wanted to come to a live auction.
But as soon as Xie Chongjun came forward, they immediately knew that they and the others had no chance, so everyone shook their heads and sighed and dispersed, but this camellia tree matter may not be a topic of conversation for them in the near future.
Shen Mo followed Xie Chongjun into Yipintang, and immediately felt a strong fragrance of flowers, although it was strong, it was not disgusting, and there was even a feeling of hope bathed in the fragrance of flowers.
"Please be seated!" Xie Chongjun led Shen Mo into the store, sat down by himself, and then smiled.
Shen Mo was not polite, he put the camellia tree on the table casually, looking at his casual movements, the muscles on Xie Chongjun's face suddenly twitched, it was a very rare xenomorph, people who don't understand flowers, can't know its preciousness.
"How much are you going to pay?"
Silence is not nonsense, he doesn't understand flowers, but after hearing so much just now, he doesn't think that it must be worth at least a few thousand yuan, after all, that person is so amazing.
Xie Chongjun stretched out three fingers, and a faint smile appeared on his calm face, as if he felt that Shen Mo should accept it.
Three thousand?
Shen Mo's face remained silent and did not respond immediately.
After all, this camellia tree was made by him with a trace of wishful breath, and this price was not much different from the price in his heart, but he didn't plan to agree directly, so he would add one or two thousand.
Seeing that he was silent, Xie Chongjun spoke again: "Little brother, I, Xie Chongjun, never cheat people in trading, although this Dongfang Liang is gratifying, but my 30,000 yuan is far beyond the market price, I dare to say that in this market, except for me, no one should be willing to go out at this price." β
It turned out to be 30,000.
Shen Mo was a little surprised, he didn't expect that someone would be willing to bid 30,000 yuan for such a camellia.
And looking at Xie Chongjun's appearance, it seems that he still has room to increase the price. However, Shen Mo is not an insatiable person, 30,000 has far exceeded his expectations, and he is already extremely satisfied with this price.
So he stood up, stretched out his hand to Xie Chongjun, and said, "Since that's the case......"
Before he could finish his words, a voice suddenly sounded outside-
"Wait, wait!"
Both of them were stunned, turned their heads to look, and saw an old man rushing in at the door, and the other party shouted as he walked: "Wait, wait, wait! Little brother, I want this flower!"
Behind this old man, there was also a sturdy figure in his thirties and forties, who looked like a bodyguard, and his eyes were sharp. However, when Shen Mo saw this person, his pupils contracted slightly.
This bodyguard's temples are high and bulging, and his eyes are full of light, this is definitely already stepping into the external strength, and maybe he has reached the middle stage of the external strength!
This old man is an ordinary person with no kung fu, obviously he was in a hurry just now, and he was a little out of breath at this time, and his face was red.
The old man walked straight up to the camellia tree and looked surprised.
"I want this to take it. The old man said again domineeringly, completely ignoring whose territory it was.
Shen Mo was indifferent when he heard this, after all, although he hadn't given the money yet, he had already promised Xie Chongjun just now.
How do you know that at this time, Xie Chongjun showed a wry smile on his face, and quickly stood up, a little embarrassed: "Old He, this flower is what I fancy first." β
"What's wrong with your fancies? I can't buy what you like in your little army?" this He Lao glared at Xie Chongjun and retorted.
When Xie Chongjun heard this, his heart ached, but his face couldn't help showing a trace of helplessness and a wry smile, knowing that he was taken by this old man, he would definitely not be able to snatch it.
However, he suddenly remembered what he had said silently before, and struggled: "Old He, this flower belongs to this little brother, and he has promised to sell it to me just now." β
"It's already sold to you?" He Lao frowned, and then waved his hand nonchalantly, "That's okay, you buy the flowers, and then you give them to me?"
Xie Chongjun almost stumbled and fell down when he heard this, but he could only smile bitterly, it seems that this old man really likes this flower, and he didn't hesitate to play tricks. If this spreads, I'm afraid it will surprise the eyes of the whole place.
He had no choice but to smile bitterly: "Since you like it, I should treat it as a gift to you." β
"Hey, hey, I'm not going to take advantage of you!"
There was a conspiracy on Old He's face, like an old naughty boy, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he took out a card, did not give it to Xie Chongjun, but handed it to Shen Mo, and said:
"Little brother, you see that Xiao Junzi doesn't want him anymore, you can't count it as a broken appointment. There are exactly 50,000 in this card, so you can give me this flower!"
Shen Mo hesitated for a moment, glanced at Xie Chongjun, and found that the other party nodded with a wry smile: "Take it, little brother, in the eyes of He Lao, this flower is worth the price!"
Since Xie Chongjun himself has admitted it, and he can get an extra 20,000 yuan, then Shen Mo is not welcome, he is short of money now.
