Chapter 138: Self-defeating
On Zhuang Yawen's booth, Zhuang Yawen was taking two men, an old man and a young man, to observe the old pile phalaenopsis.
This old man and a young man, the old man is about sixty-seven years old, the figure is quite tall, the hair is a little gray, some bald, and the back is slightly rickety, but he is full of momentum, and at a glance he knows that he is a senior master in the flower bonsai industry.
The old man had a pair of reading glasses on his nose, and he was now staring at the old stump phalaenopsis.
And the other young man is twenty-four or five years old, with a tall figure and a very handsome face, even compared with Liu Junwei, it is on par!
This young man is dressed in a casual suit, with a faint smile on his face all the time, but he has the bearing of an idol star.
This man, Nie Yun and Zhuang Yawen have met in Ludong, it is the CEO of the entertainment company where the star Meng Feier works, and Ouyang Tao who has something wrong with Liu Junwei!
Ouyang Tao actually appeared on this bonsai expo at this moment!
At this point, it is a bit beyond Zhuang Yawen's expectations, but Ouyang Tao came with the tall old man this time, and there seems to be some relationship between the two, so Zhuang Yawen is not easy to say...... "Miss Zhuang, this phalaenopsis was cultivated by you?" ”
The old man was still observing the old pile phalaenopsis, but Ouyang Tao opened his mouth and said to Zhuang Yawen. Ouyang Tao and Zhuang Yawen can only be said to know each other reluctantly, and they are not as close as Liu Junwei and Zhuang Yawen, so Ouyang Tao can only call Zhuang Yawen "Miss Zhuang", but not "Sister Zhuang" like Liu Junwei and Nie Yun.
"This Phalaenopsis orchid, just looking at the flower color, is already a fine product among phalaenopsis. And as far as I know, at present, phalaenopsis of this color should still be very rare in the world, right? Miss Zhuang's Phalaenopsis is definitely a rare variety, and it must be worth a lot! ”
While looking at this phalaenopsis orchid, Ouyang Tao said.
Ouyang Tao's words, in fact, were mainly compliments.
There are thousands of varieties of orchids, and Ouyang Tao has never seen them one by one, and Ouyang Tao has never seen this colored phalaenopsis. But Ouyang Tao also guessed that the phalaenopsis on Zhuang Yawen's booth was definitely not ordinary, and because of this, Ouyang Tao said that this phalaenopsis was a "rare variety".
Ouyang Tao's words just now were almost completely conjectural!
"Oh? Mr. Ouyang has ever seen such a phalaenopsis? ”
Hearing Ouyang Tao's words, Zhuang Yawen's beautiful eyes moved and asked Ouyang Tao.
And Tian Zhen on the side also looked at Ouyang Tao, waiting for Ouyang Tao's answer. This old pile osmanthus was found by Tian Zhen's boyfriend Nie Yun, Tian Zhen is also a little concerned about its value, if this phalaenopsis is worth a lot, at least it means that Nie Yun's vision is unique, his boyfriend's vision is unique, Tian Zhen is always happy.
Zhuang Yawen asked herself this, Ouyang Tao's heart moved, and he immediately felt that what he had said before seemed to be more reliable.
Now Zhuang Yawen asked herself if she had ever seen such a phalaenopsis, in Ouyang Tao's opinion, if she said that she had not seen it, then her previous judgment that this phalaenopsis was a rare variety was completely nonsense, which was equivalent to admitting nonsense. In this case, Ouyang Tao naturally would not let it happen.
"For example, such a rare orchid cultivated by Miss Zhuang, I have never seen it in reality. However, a few months ago, I read an orchid magazine, and one of the orchid photos was exactly the same as Miss Zhuang's orchid. I still remember that orchid vividly, but unfortunately I forgot which magazine I saw it from, and I forgot ......"
With a smile, Ouyang Tao said.
"Oh, I see. However, this orchid was not cultivated by me, but dug up by a friend of mine from the forest in Lijiang, Yunnan, and because he could not determine the variety, he asked Li Lao and them to come and identify it. I didn't expect Mr. Ouyang to have seen this kind of orchid before, but it's a pity that Mr. Ouyang forgot which magazine he saw it, otherwise, he wouldn't need to be so troublesome to identify by Mr. Li! ”
Zhuang Yawen smiled lightly and said casually.
Hearing Zhuang Yawen's words, Ouyang Tao's face was slightly unnatural.
This orchid was not cultivated by Zhuang Yawen? But dug out of the wild in Lijiang?
Those orchids in the wild, many of them are mutated varieties, unique in the world, but I just said that I had seen this orchid before, in case I was sure that this orchid was indeed a unique mutant variety, then I would be embarrassed...... "That...... In fact, the orchid I saw was just exactly the same as this orchid in terms of flower color and shape, as for whether it was the same variety, it was hard to say, it was better to ask Li Lao and them to identify it well. Ouyang Tao hurriedly said again.
The tall old man with glasses who came over with Ouyang Tao was none other than Li Lao, a veteran-level figure in the Sichuan Bonsai faction.
This time, Zhuang Yawen asked the seniors in the bonsai industry to help identify this phalaenopsis, and Li Lao was one of the seniors she invited. It's just that I didn't expect that Li Lao came over this time and actually brought Ouyang Tao over.
In fact, Ouyang Tao went to Chengdu this time to find Li Lao to talk about other things, and it happened that Li Lao ran to the Bonsai Expo, and Ouyang Tao came directly to him. Ouyang Tao didn't expect that at this Chengdu New Year Bonsai Expo, he would actually meet Zhuang Yawen. But after thinking about it, Zhuang Yawen's elegant pearl jade headquarters is in Chengdu, and it is normal for her to appear here, so she is relieved.
When he met Zhuang Yawen, it was impossible for Ouyang Tao not to move.
Last time in Ludong Province, Ouyang Tao wanted to cooperate with Yazhi Zhuyu through Meng Fei'er. It's just that I didn't expect that because Meng Fei'er took the shelf, that cooperation was directly yellow, and even Zhuang Yawen's impression of Ouyang Tao was not very good.
Within a few days, the video of Ouyang Tao slapping Meng Fei'er in the studio was circulated on the Internet...... The impact of that incident on Ouyang Tao's entertainment company was not small, after the incident, Ouyang Tao hid Meng Fei'er as soon as possible, and until now, the impact of "slapping the door" has barely subsided.
Now when he met Zhuang Yawen at the Bonsai Expo, Ouyang Tao immediately sighed that time was coming. This encounter with Zhuang Yawen is definitely an opportunity, if you can seize this opportunity, let your entertainment company and Zhuang Yawen's elegant pearl go online, and it is completely possible to cooperate closely in the future!
Because of this, Ouyang Tao complimented Zhuang Yawen on this orchid.
It's just that I didn't expect that this orchid was not Zhuang Yawen's at all, and Ouyang Tao's compliment seemed to be a punch on the cotton, and it didn't have any effect at all.
What's more, if you don't get it right, you have to be self-defeating and leave a bad impression on Zhuang Yawen...... Now Ouyang Tao can only pray that this phalaenopsis is not a rare variety, it is best to be a variety that has been in a magazine before, so that he can still have a step down.
Just as Ouyang Tao was thinking this, Elder Li also took his eyes off the phalaenopsis and straightened up.
"Old Li, this Phalaenopsis ......"
Zhuang Yawen stepped forward and asked this Li Lao in a low voice.
And at this moment, Li Lao waved his hand gently.
"In the past two years, there have been a lot of new varieties of orchids, including artificial hybrids and wild discoveries. I'm a little bit incomprehensible by myself. In this way, when Lao Xu and Lao Qian come over, let them take a look too, and a few of our old men will synthesize it, and then give you a result! Li Lao said slowly.
"That's troublesome for Elder Li." Zhuang Yawen thanked Li Lao, and at the same time faintly looked forward to it.
Li Lao said that, although he did not directly say that this orchid is a special variant, but at least it also shows that this orchid will not be the more common varieties.
If it is a more common breed, with Li Lao's knowledge, he can definitely recognize it at the first time, and at the same time, he does not need to be so cautious, and after the other two old-timers also come to see it, they will synthesize the results. Zhuang Yawen estimated that Li Lao had never seen such an orchid before.
After Li Lao and Zhuang Yawen finished speaking, they couldn't help but glance at Ouyang Tao with slanted eyes.
This orchid, Li Lao had never seen it before, this Ouyang Tao actually said that he had seen it in a magazine, it was really a lie and didn't make a draft.
Li Lao is a senior in the bonsai industry, and he is also an authority in the orchid industry. There are even several professional orchid magazines, with Li Lao as a consultant. The orchid picture that Ouyang Tao said, why hasn't Li Lao seen it?
"This kid, don't make deep friends......" Li Lao shook his head secretly in his heart.
This time Ouyang Tao came to Li Lao, it was to talk about business cooperation, Li Lao is an authority in the orchid industry, and he also runs a company that deals in flowers. But now it seems that whether to cooperate with Ouyang Tao or not, Li Lao still has to weigh it...... And when Zhuang Yawen and Li Lao were waiting for the arrival of other predecessors in the flower bonsai world, Nie Yun and Liu Junwei came over first.
When he saw Ouyang Tao, Liu Junwei immediately frowned.
"Nie Zi, why did Ouyang Tao come here? It can't be that you came to find Sister Zhuang, right? ”
While walking towards the booth, Liu Junwei asked Nie Yun.
"No, it seems that the old-timer brought it here, or a ...... passing by"
At this moment, Nie Yun also recognized this Ouyang Tao.
The grievances between Ouyang Tao and Liu Junwei, Liu Junwei and Nie Yun have told them before, these two people not only run entertainment companies and have a competitive relationship, but at the same time, Ouyang Tao's father, Ouyang Yi, is the deputy secretary of the Ludong Provincial Party Committee, and Liu Zhong, the executive vice governor, has never dealt with each other, the two are political enemies, and even with Liu Junwei and Ouyang Tao, the two second generations of officials, they usually don't like each other. Counting it, the two are feuding!
Now that the two have met, Nie Yun estimates that there must be a lot of sparks to be wiped up......
