I accompanied my cousin-in-law to buy bonsai and my cousin to buy Labradoodles, and after everything was done, I found a place nearby to have lunch, and then my cousin-in-law drove them home, and he drove out with orchids again. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Fang Lu returned to his cousin's house and was not idle, but rode his bicycle to the Jingxue Cultural and Sports Center, where he remembered that there were some books on agriculture to see if he could find some books on flowers and bonsai.

Fang Lu rummaged through the third floor of the Jingxue Cultural and Sports Center for a long time, and found a copy of "Introduction to Gardening" in the corner, which contained a small part of the knowledge about bonsai.

Bonsai, one of the outstanding traditional Chinese arts, is a work of art that uses plants and rocks as the basic materials to express the natural landscape in a pot.

It uses plants, rocks, soil, water and other materials as materials, through artistic creation and horticultural cultivation, in the pot typical, concentrated shaping the beautiful scenery of nature, to achieve the artistic effect of shrinking the land into inches, small in the large, at the same time, with the scenery to express the nostalgia, the far-reaching artistic conception, like the three-dimensional beautiful miniature version of the landscape scenic area.

Bonsai originated from China, bonsai generally has two categories: stump bonsai and landscape bonsai, bonsai is composed of three elements: landscape, bonsai and several (frame), which are interrelated and mutually influencing the unified whole. People call bonsai "three-dimensional painting" and "silent poetry".

Bonsai is generally divided into two categories: stump bonsai and landscape bonsai. The former uses trees as the main material, and can be divided into four categories: branches, leaves, fruits and flowers. The latter is more used as mountain stone, water and soil as materials, and the water-based is the water bonsai, the soil and stone are the dry bonsai, and the water and soil are both water and dry bonsai.

When Fang Lu saw this, he thought that the bonsai in his hometown ZY City belonged to the stump bonsai, and he simply understood the information about bonsai and went back to his cousin's house.

The next day, Fang Lu told his cousin that he planned to go out for a stroll, and he wouldn't come back at noon, and his cousin didn't say anything, just said that he knew, Fang Lu was already fifteen years old, and when she was a child, Fang Lu had already started earning money to support her family, so she didn't worry about Fang Lu.

After Fang Lu came out of his cousin's house, he took a taxi and set off towards the flower, bird, fish and insect market.

After an hour of taxi to the flower, bird, fish and insect market, Fang Lu paid the fare and got out of the car and walked inside, he followed the road he walked with his cousin-in-law yesterday to the place where he sold flowers and bonsai, he did not go to the "famous flowers and trees" that he went to with his cousin-in-law yesterday, he is not sure what the situation is, whether it is what he thinks, and he doesn't want his cousin-in-law to know, he knows it on behalf of his father Fang Aiguo, and it will be difficult to do it then.

Fang Lu looked at the flower bonsai shops on both sides of the road, searched for a while, and chose a relatively large store and walked in.

"Boss, how much is your ordinary bonsai?" Fang Lu asked.

The busy shopkeeper looked up and asked, "Ordinary bonsai?" What kind of bonsai do you want? You can tell me the approximate price. ”

"These are the few things." Fang Lu pointed to a few small pomegranate tree bonsai placed at the door and asked, this kind of pomegranate tree bonsai is mainly in his hometown.

"These few, the smallest one is eighty pieces, the three medium ones are one hundred and ten pieces, and the largest one is one hundred and fifty dollars." The boss said.

Fang Lu thought about it, this price is not low, although he doesn't understand bonsai, but he can also see that these bonsai are not particularly good among the bonsai in the store, so it is still so expensive, as long as the price of bonsai in his hometown is lower, he can make money.

Fang Lu didn't say anything else, walked around the store a little, asked the price of some bonsai and then went out.

It took more than an hour, Fang Lu looked at the bonsai of seven or eight stores, and learned the approximate price, even the worst and cheapest ones have more than fifty yuan, ordinary ones can be sold for about 100 yuan, and those in better condition can be sold for hundreds or thousands of yuan.

After reading it, Fang Lu stood on the side of the road and wanted to find a company with a better reputation, and asked how much he could give if he had the goods and planned to supply them.

He walked around for a long time and went back to the first place he entered, then walked in again, and saw that the boss was still busy and stood aside and waited.

Wait until the boss is busy and Fang Lu will talk.

"Boss, you're very busy, business is good, I saw you busy just now, and you haven't finished your work after walking around." Fang Lu said.

"It's okay, the market is good this year, and the business is okay." The boss returned.

Fang Lu took out the Yellow Crane Tower he had specially bought from his pocket, took out one and handed it to the boss, and the boss took it directly without seeing it, and then lit it and sucked it up.

"Little brother, I saw that you came to my store more than an hour ago to take a look and ask, and then went out, and now you're back, and you're going around outside to see a lot of houses, are you going to buy a lot of it, which unit is it?" The boss said.

"Brother Ma, you guessed wrong." Fang Lu said.

"Hey, little brother, how do you know my surname is Ma?" The boss asked suspiciously.

Fang Lu pointed to the door and said, "Big brother, your store is called Ma Garden, I can't guess your surname Ma very easily." ”

"yes." Boss Ma smiled to himself.

"Little brother didn't ask for your name." Boss Ma then asked.

"Boss Ma, the younger brother is exempt from your surname Fang, you can just call me Xiaofang." Fang Lu said.

"Then how can it work, I'll call you Little Brother Fang. Little Brother Fang, you just said that I was wrong, brother, I have to ask where I said wrong. Boss Ma asked.

"Boss Ma, you just said which unit I belong to and I want to buy a lot, you are wrong." Fang Lu said.

"Oh, I said it wrong, you didn't purchase for the unit, so what are you going to do?" Boss Ma asked.

"Brother Ma, I'm here for you to send money." Fang Lu said.

"Oh, send me money, then you've said it well." Boss Ma asked.

"Little brother, there is a batch of bonsai at home that I plan to sell, this is not Jinlin, this is an economically developed area, and the price is definitely higher than ours, so I plan to come over to explore the way, if I can, see if I can sell it at a high price." Fang Lu said.

"Oh!"

Boss Ma nodded in understanding, this kind of thing is very common.

Those who cultivate bonsai in small places come to the big cities to see if they can find a way to sell them at a higher price because the local area is small and the price cannot be sold.

"Little Brother Fang, has you taken a fancy to me here? I feel like I can shop here. ”

Boss Ma smiled a little treacherously, and said: "Don't look at my brother, my price is not cheap, in fact, I can't sell a few pots a day." Besides, if I encounter someone who buys more, I have to reduce the price to sell it, if the little brother has the goods, I will have no problem eating it, but ......"

Not to mention that it is the people who can make the business successful, and before Fang Lu can speak, people will start to lower the price.

"Don't, Boss Ma is too modest, I just looked, you have been busy for so long, but you have shipped out a lot of bonsai, this is a big order."

Boss Ma smiled and didn't deny it, after all, people stood there and watched for a long time.

Then he turned around and shouted to the store, "Wife, looking at the shop, I'm a little busy." ”

"Got it, go get busy." A female voice came from inside.

Boss Ma pulled Fang Lu to the side of the table specially reserved for guests to rest and said, "Little Brother Fang, to be honest, I haven't seen the goods yet, and I don't know how the bonsai is in condition." Besides, the purchases on my side have fixed channels, they are all acquaintances, it is convenient to get the goods, not to mention that it is cheap, little brother, if you have less goods, it is not interesting to say these, and it is not interesting to do business for a long time. ”

Fang Lu nodded, he also knew that no matter what business he did, what he wanted was long-term convenience.

However, making money as a qualified businessman is the last word, as long as you are slightly cheaper than a wholesaler, these people are in a hurry to beg for themselves.

"Boss Ma, I won't go around in circles with you, open the skylight and say something. This time I came to inquire, you said an approximate price standard, if the younger brother has a profit, he can provide you with a batch of goods for you to sell, if it is okay, I will continue to supply. Fang Lu said.

"That's fine, I won't cheat you, An Pinxiang spoke, didn't you ask a lot of prices just now, I can give you 30% of the market price." Boss Ma said with a smile, but gave a jumping price.

As soon as Fang Lu heard this, he turned around and prepared to go out, you have no problem making money, but don't treat me for a fool, Sancheng is still making a fart on my side.

"Don't worry, little brother, then what do you say?" Boss Ma saw that Fang Lu was leaving, and hurriedly pulled and said. Small business bargaining is not a big company negotiation, and no face rules are important.

"Anpin, I want eighty percent of the market price." Fang Lu said.

"Eighty percent! Little brother, you also want too much, where is it so expensive for me to take goods from others! Boss Ma exclaimed, saying that he couldn't accept the price.

"Boss Ma, don't look at me as a foreigner trying to deceive me, now the bonsai market is very lively, I know that the price has been slowly rising since the New Year, especially this month, it has risen so much, and now it has not risen to the end, and you must have earned a lot of money at the price of eighty percent." Fang Lu said, anyway, there is more than one him in the market, even if this doesn't work, he can go to another one, he mainly investigates the price and sees if he can negotiate one or two.

Boss Ma didn't speak but thought there, and Fang Lu didn't bother him, after all, he had to give others time to think about it.

Boss Ma thinks that Fang Lu's words are indeed good, from the Chinese New Year to the present, the price of bonsai has been rising, especially in the past month, it has risen very much, and he takes the goods at eighty percent of the price, and he earns more by hoarding for a month or two, but he can't let a little kid be pressed down.

"Sixty percent of the market price." Boss Ma said.

"Seventy percent, it's okay, if it doesn't work, I'll leave." Fang Lu said.

"Okay, it's seventy percent, Brother Fang just said it." Boss Ma hurriedly said.
