Chapter Ninety-Seven: Bidding (Asking for Flowers)
While this side was still digesting the news, it had already raised its voice and discussed. Petal lotus orchid is rare, and it belongs to the kind that is rare and valuable. A plant with a good color can be sold for hundreds of thousands or even millions, and there are now two groups of people discussing the color quality of this orchid.
A young man said in a loud voice: "This lotus orchid is in good condition, although the year is not far enough, it is also good, it is worth five or six hundred thousand." ”
Yang Wanli gestured to the young man like Zhang Taiping and said: "This young man's name is Liu Fan, I don't know the specific background, but I see that the attitude of those old guys towards him is not bad, there must be some background." Don't look at him, he is only in his twenties and less than thirty, but he has been crawling in this industry for several years, and he can barely be regarded as a senior. It is said that when I went to a small ravine in the south to play for some reason, I found a plate of laurel trees that were not very old in the yard of a farmer, and bought it for a few hundred yuan. ”
After a pause, Yang Wanli continued, with some envy in his tone: "After coming back and pruning a little, although it is grafted, it is good in the year, and the tree is in good shape, and it was sold for a high price of three million, which has become a textbook-like leak, and it has also been very popular in the industry." ”
Zhang Taiping nodded, and couldn't help but look up to this young man a little.
The old men did not remember to speak, but put on reading glasses and crawled in front of the plant to take a closer look, and then picked a little soil in the pot with their fingertips and studied it carefully before they looked at each other, and the more prestigious old man Tian Zhendong spoke.
"This orchid is indeed a good flower, the color and flower shape and tree shape are all of the highest quality," when he said this, the young man Liu Fan and the flower owner who looked honest and like a farmer both smiled. However, the next turn of events made the faces of the two change again.
"However, there is something wrong with the leaves, which still look green, but they do not have the vigorous emerald green, but on the contrary, there are a little signs of whitishness." Saying this, the onlookers around them all lowered their heads and took a closer look.
Old man Tian Zhendong continued: "I briefly studied the soil in the pot just now, and I feel that the collocation of the soil is not very reasonable. This leaf is likely to have problems in early summer in the next ten or twenty days. ”
This time, the young man named Liu Fan also took a closer look, and the leaves were indeed slightly abnormally white, but they looked like they were losing their vitality and not being replenished. This is the boss who sells flowers, and his brows have wrinkled into a pimple.
The old man Tian Zhendong said apologetically to the flower owner: "If you can come to us, you should be able to understand the rules here, that is, everything must be explained clearly, and you don't do those tricks that deceive people." You can take the flowers for identification, and a few of our old men will tell the truth according to the rules, I hope you don't care. ”
This flower owner is also a sensible master, and said with a smile: "It's okay, the old man is honest, I didn't know that there were still so many problems." ”
The host, Mr. Song, asked the flower owner at this time: "Now does Xiao Wang plan to continue to sell or is he going to take it back and exchange it for soil?" ”
The middle-aged man who was called Xiao Wang by Teacher Song gritted his teeth and said, "Sell it." ”
Teacher Song said: "Then there won't be the original estimate of six or seven hundred thousand, are you sure you want to sell?" ”
The middle-aged man nodded. In fact, whether this flower is more than 200,000 or 600,000 he earns, his orchid is dug up with his friends when he visited the orchid in the mountains, it is not a book, the soil in the pot is also according to the configuration of the book, he has no experience in soil, he used to buy flowers are bought and cultivated without caring about the soil, now even if he knows that the problem may be in the soil, but he himself will not improve and treat, and then take it back is likely to lose not more than 300,000 but all, Besides, it is uncertain whether it is soil or not, and experts may also have deviations, and if there are other diseases, if you take it back yourself, you will cry to death. So it's better to sell it, and it's more or less pure income.
Teacher Song saw him nodding in affirmation and said: "This flower is now preliminarily determined to be soil, there are some problems in the configuration of the soil, if you are confident, buy it back and reconfigure it, it is a big leak." Of course, there are risks involved, and it is up to everyone to estimate for themselves. Then he turned his head to the middle-aged man and said, "Now the price of six or seven hundred thousand is definitely impossible, and I won't set a starting price for you, you can give yourself a price in your heart" After finishing speaking, he stepped aside and gave up the main position of the platform to the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man stood on the platform and faced everyone, and said: "You must all know that this is a petal lotus orchid, and I also listened to the comments of a few old men just now, although there are some problems, but it is not fatal, and you can go back and change the soil if you have the technology." If any friend is interesting, you can make a price first. The middle-aged man did not give his own price to expose the bottom line in his heart, but threw the initiative to everyone.
After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he was cold for a while, and the few people who were very interested in this flower just now were silent, looking left and right to figure out each other's minds. They all looked at the middle-aged man's face, wanting to see some useful joy on his face.
However, the middle-aged man surnamed Wang no longer reflected anything after he frowned when the old man Tian Zhendong commented, and now he did not show any emotion, and others could not see the slightest clue from his face.
After a while, a voice tentatively reported a tree "100,000".
The quote is a middle-aged fat man, with a round head and big ears, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a lord who likes to deal with flowers and trees, but more like a businessman who is kind on the surface and doesn't know whether he is cunning or not, but he will really sit here and quote.
Today's trade fair was a little more crowded than usual, and many of the faces were seeing for the first time. Yang Wanli didn't know the middle-aged flower owner who was called "Xiao Wang" by Teacher Song, but he confirmed that he knew this fat man.
"This fat man's name is Huang Jun. Because of the homonym with 'Imperial Army', people prefer to call him fat. His wife opened a flower shop in the flower market, and I heard that he himself had a forest garden in a mountainous place on the outskirts of the city. I often participate in this trade fair, but I rarely make a move, and this time I am confident that I can change the soil and want to pick up the leaks. ”
"There are still people called the Imperial Army, aren't you afraid of being arrested by the People's Liberation Army? Giggle," Fan Ming said, chuckling. Cai Xiaomei was also amused by this name, and glanced at the fat man more.
The fat man, who was sitting not far away, saw that he had attracted the attention of the two beauties, turned his head and smiled kindly and winked. Although the person is fat, the smile is not obscene, but gives people a sense of harmlessness of livestock, and there is nothing bad about looking at the eyes of the two beauties, and they do not stay long.
Zhang Taiping couldn't help but glance at the fat man, Zhang Taiping himself can be immune to several beauties because there is a charming beauty at home, and if he sees more, he has a certain immunity. And the fat man also looked away after a glance, at least he was good at concentration.
The middle-aged flower owner smiled when he heard the offer of 100,000 yuan and said, "This brother is joking." And then there was no more follow-up, but everyone here understood what it meant.
The fat man was not annoyed, he didn't think that he could buy this orchid at this price, but he saw that the atmosphere was a little cold, and threw bricks and stones.
After the fat man quoted, sure enough, someone quoted again, and just now an old man who was very interested in this flower also added a price: "150,000." ”
Thinking that this old man was also confident that he could pick up the leaks, he added 50,000. It's just that before his voice fell, a young man added another 50,000 "200,000." The old man shook his head and made no more offers, apparently giving up.
After that, there was no one to quote, and the middle-aged flower owner said to everyone: "This is a rare petal lotus orchid, although there is a little problem with the soil, but it is not a fatal disease, it is not difficult to cure, just change the soil once." ”
At this time, a middle-aged man asked: "Why doesn't that brother bring this flower back and change the picture again, can't he ask for a better price next time?" ”
Zhang Taiping turned his head when he heard this voice, and sure enough, it was the middle-aged man who sold the disease to Zhang Taiping and then drove away in a silver Mercedes-Benz. Seeing Zhang Taiping look over, he smiled kindly and nodded. Zhang Taiping also nodded in response.
"This person is also surnamed Xing, called Xing Weiping." Yang Wanli said, glanced at Xing Rushui behind Zhang Taiping, and saw that she didn't react before continuing: "Brother Zhang knows him? ”
Zhang Taiping shook his head and said: "At the same time, that golden cinnamon was bought by him, and he was seriously ill and dying, and I bought it for 2,000 yuan and left a business card. In fact, Zhang Taiping also thought about whether there was anything related to the two people with the surname Xing, but Xing Weiping just nodded and did not stop at Xing Rushui, so he suppressed this idea, although there are not many surnames, but there are also several places in the country, not as long as the surname Xing is from a family, they can all be recognized.
The middle-aged flower owner glanced at Xing Weiping, who asked the question, and replied: "I am dissatisfied with everyone who said that this orchid was dug up in the mountains, and this soil was also deployed by myself, so it became like this, I really don't have this ability, and if I leave it in my hands, I will spoil this flower." ”
Hearing that it was dug in the mountains, a few more people were obviously moved.
Finally, someone couldn't help but say, "Two hundred and one thousand." ”
The middle-aged flower lord said: "This gentleman is 210,000, is there any higher?" But it was he who made a cameo appearance as an auctioneer.
The one who reported 210,000 was a young man, Yang Wanli and Niu Junfeng didn't know each other, and Zhang Taiping was a newcomer who came in today, and no one followed him after seeing his own hundred families, and he couldn't help but smile on his face. But the middle-aged flower owner is still waiting quietly, not in a hurry.
