Xiao Ping's so-called understanding is actually to check the information of saffron on the Internet, and the most important thing is to see how high the profit of saffron can be. As for what kind of environment is most suitable for this plant, Xiao Ping is not very concerned about the planting technique and other issues - there is a demon refining pot, and he is afraid that he will not be able to grow crocus.

Xiao Ping didn't know what to do, and he was really taken aback when he checked it.

This saffron, also known as saffron, is both a precious spice and a superior medicinal herb. Although there is a word "flower" in the name, the part that can actually be used is only the thin stamens in the flower. How many stamens can there be in a small flower? It is even more pitiful after drying, often it takes nearly 100,000 flower stamens to get a kilogram of sun-dried crocus, no wonder this spice is so precious.

But it's true that croclaws are hard to come by, but the price is surprisingly expensive. In the international market, the price of the best crocus can be sold for thousands of dollars per pound, and if it is calculated by the gram, it is really like Zhu Huifeng said, the price of the best crocus is indeed about the same as gold.

"This thing is good, you can plant it and try it. After a general understanding of the price of crocus, Xiao Ping couldn't help but think about it.

However, it is not easy to grow crocus. The plant does not propagate by seeds or cuttings, but by bulbs buried in the ground to increase its numbers. If you want to grow saffron, you have to get a batch of bulbs.

Xiao Ping also checked that the saffron plant prefers a hot and dry environment, and the country with the largest number of saffron in the world is Iran. And because of the climate and variety, most of the best saffron is also from this country. If Xiao Ping wants to cultivate the best crocus, it is best to import some crocus bulbs from Iran.

However, Xiao Ping never visited Iran. Nothing has anything to do with it there either. It is said that the locals have a good eye for the saffron that can bring them a high income, and it is no problem for a stranger to go there to buy sun-dried saffron. But it is simply impossible to buy crocus bulbs in large quantities.

This question stumped Xiao Ping, and he was considered to have a demon refining pot in his hand. It's also impossible to conjure saffron out of thin air. The so-called "it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice", and now Xiao Ping has encountered this problem.

Now Xiao Ping has only two choices. Either abandon the plan to buy crocus bulbs from Iran and buy them from countries such as Spain instead. However, the quality of saffron in those countries is slightly inferior, and it is not a very good choice for Xiao Ping, who insists on taking the high-quality route;

Xiao Ping only thought about it for a short time before making a decision, and first tried the second method. Among the people he knows, Ye Dexiang and Lin Zukang have traveled the most. Of course, let's start with these two people.

Xiao Ping first called Ye Dexiang and asked him if he had any connections in Iran and if he could help him buy a batch of saffron bulbs. Ye Dexiang told Xiao Ping apologetically that he had no business dealings with that side, and he had nothing to do with it. However, he will help Xiao Ping ask to see if his friends and partners have a relationship over there.

This result was expected by Xiao Ping, he expressed his gratitude to Ye Dexiang, and then called Lin Zukang to ask the same question.

The call was answered by Lin Zukang's secretary first, after knowing that it was Xiao Ping. The phone was immediately handed over to Lin Zukang himself. Since taking the health oral liquid provided by Xiao Ping, Lin Zukang's physical condition has been getting better and better, and even on the phone, he can hear that he is full of energy.

Lin Zukang asked heartily on the other end of the phone: "Xiao Xiao, why did you remember to call me, an old man?

listened to Lin Zukang's words. Xiao Ping couldn't help but cry out in his heart for being ashamed. To be honest, there have been a lot of things recently, if Lin Zukang hadn't mentioned it on the phone, Xiao Ping would have forgotten about it.

But of course Xiao Ping wouldn't say it directly to Lin Zukang. Instead, he hurriedly smiled and said, "I've been urging this matter, and I'm already a little eyebrow now." I guess the problem is not very big, you just wait for my good news!"

The reason why Xiao Ping didn't immediately tell Lin Zukang that he had got good wood. also has his own considerations. After all, whether it is small-leaved red sandalwood or agarwood, all of them are very precious woods. If it's too easy to get hold of these precious woods, it's really eye-catching. In order to keep a low profile as much as possible, he could only grieve Lin Zukang to wait for a while.

Lin Zukang also knew how precious the wood he wanted was, and he didn't have too many doubts about Xiao Ping's statement, but was happy to hear him say that he already had eyebrows, and nodded again and again on the phone: "It's good to have eyebrows, it's good to have eyebrows." You don't know how to say that since I bought the agarwood, the Sultan of Hazak was as happy as a child, and he called me without anything to say that he wanted to buy more wood, and I was really disturbed by him, Ha Lu Ha!"

Although Lin Zukang kept saying that he was "tireless", Xiao Ping could hear that he was actually very proud of this. After all, the status of the Sultan in Malaysia is respected, and it is also a very face-saving thing for Lin Zukang to let a Sultan do this.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ping also smiled and said: "Mr. Lin, don't worry, it is estimated that there will be definite news recently, and I will inform you as soon as possible." ”

Very satisfied with Xiao Ping's work efficiency, Lin Zukang said happily: "Okay, okay, then you have to worry more." ”

After deciding with Lin Zukang about timber, Xiao Ping, who began to get to the point, asked expectantly: "Mr. Lin, do you have any trade contacts with Iran?"

Lin Zukang thought for a moment and said, "Iran, I have a branch over there. ”

Hearing Lin Zukang's answer, Xiao Ping couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and said, "This is really good!"

Lin Zukang is also an old and refined character, and as soon as he heard Xiao Ping's tone, he immediately asked, "What, do you need my help with anything?"

"That's right, Mr. Lin. Xiao Ping said honestly: "Recently, our company is developing business in Europe, and the company there wants us to provide high-quality saffron, so ...... I would like to import a batch of saffron bulbs and try to plant them to see how it goes. ”

Lin Zukang immediately continued: "I understand, the crocuses produced in Iran are of the best quality, so you plan to buy a batch of bulbs from there, right?"

Xiao Ping hurriedly replied: "That's it." ”

"As far as I know, the locals take saffron very seriously and generally don't sell bulbs in large quantities. Lin Zukang on the other end of the phone muttered: "But my branch has a good relationship with the local area, and if you want to buy some, there shouldn't be any big problems." ”

Seeing that the problem that was bothering him was finally solved, Xiao Ping was overjoyed and said, "Thank you so much, Mr. Lin." ”

"You're welcome, it's just a gesture. Lin Zukang said briskly: "Compared with always bothering you to help me get those woods, this kind of trivial matter is not worth mentioning at all." ”

Although Lin Zukang said it politely, Xiao Ping didn't think so at all. It doesn't take much effort for him to help people get wood, as long as he gets it out of the demon refining pot, and more importantly, these woods are not given away for free, they can make Xiao Ping a lot of money.

And Lin Zukang helped several times, it was all real voluntary labor, and not a penny of benefits was confiscated from Xiao Ping, just saying this Xiao Ping felt that he should be grateful to this old man. So although Lin Zukang kept saying that he was not polite, Xiao Ping still thanked him sincerely.

Lin Zukang is an old man, of course, he can hear that Xiao Ping is sincerely grateful, and he has a good impression of this young man. He thought about it for a while on the other end of the phone, and quickly said to Xiao Ping: "I'll call the Iranian branch and ask them to buy a batch of crocus bulbs as soon as possible, and then load them on the nearest flight and send them directly to you, and then you only need to pick up the goods at the airport." ”

Xiao Ping was overjoyed when he heard this: "Then this matter will trouble you, Mr. Lin." ”

"It's just a small thing. Lin Zukang said with a smile: "Xiao Xiao, your business is getting bigger and bigger, are you interested in developing in Malaysia? Our climate here is suitable for crops all year round, and you still have your own property in Malaysia, which is a favorable condition." When the time comes, I will help you with the Khazak Sultan, and I will promise that you will not suffer. ”

Lin Zukang was able to say this, which also moved Xiao Ping very much. This was proposed by himself, and the meaning contained in it was completely different from Xiao Ping's opening of his mouth to ask him to agree. Seriously, if Xiao Ping has these two to help him develop in Malaysia, it will be difficult to lose money. This made Xiao Ping's mind a little lively, and he felt that as long as the conditions were suitable in all aspects, it would not be a good choice to develop in Malaysia.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ping was not hypocritical, and said to Lin Zukang with a smile: "I am relieved to have your words, and when all the conditions are suitable, I will go to Malaysia to trouble you, and I will definitely not be polite to you." ”

"Ha Luha, a word is a certainty!" Lin Zukang said with a smile on the other end of the phone: "To tell you the truth, someone has already brought your health oral liquid to Malaysia, and it is very popular here, even the Sultan of Hazak is taking it." If you can come to Malaysia to develop, there will definitely be many people who will welcome it. ”

Xiao Ping didn't expect that the name of health oral liquid had been sent abroad, which also made him feel a little more confident about going to Malaysia for development. After chatting with Lin Zukang for a few words, Xiao Ping said goodbye and hung up the phone. He and Lin Zukang are both big business people, to paraphrase a sentence in the movie, that is, "hundreds of thousands of dollars per minute", but they don't have much time to chat over the phone.

After finalizing the problem of saffron, Xiao Ping spent a few days of leisurely days. However, such a good day did not last for a few days, Zhong Weirong called Xiao Ping and told him that the branch of the free trade zone had been prepared and was waiting for an opening ceremony to officially open.
