Chapter 44: Prince William and the Luminous Goddess

"William, congratulations on hearing that your latest creation, 'Rose Moonlit Night', has won a silver medal at the World Perfume Competition." The man with gray temples and about fifty years old smiled and clinked glasses with William.

William Holmes smiled faintly and said politely, "Thank you for the compliment, President Young. Unfortunately, I couldn't beat Ms. Claire this time. ”

The Claire mentioned by William is a world-famous perfume master who won the gold medal in the perfume competition. The man he spoke to was President Yang of the Sanhai City Flower Association.

The two were talking about the world when they suddenly saw a young man with a delicate appearance and a unique temperament walking towards them.

"Excuse me, gentlemen, I'm looking for a prince, I wonder if you have seen it?" The young man asked with a smile in authentic Dutch.

The mellow Amsterdam accent made William stunned, the standard Dutch of young people was dwarfed even by the professional translators around him, not to mention the original dialect tone.

William's feeling at the moment is like a Chinese coming to the United States, and suddenly hearing a foreigner asking for directions in authentic Shandong dialect, there is an illusion of crossing. I can't help but feel a sense of curiosity and intimacy with the young man in front of me. Looking at the young man with a smile, William said, "I'm sorry, I don't know what the name of the prince you are looking for?" ”

"Prince of Roses." The young man smiled slightly, his eyes glinting.

William smiled knowingly: "Haha, Mr. is really humorous. I'm William Kroms, and I haven't asked for your name yet? ”

is worthy of being a European aristocrat, even in the face of a young man he has never met, William always maintains gentlemanly manners.

The young man stepped forward and stretched out his hand, "Fanny Ye, it's a pleasure to meet you, Your Highness William. ”

The two ceremonial names shook hands.

Willem was intrigued by the young man's ability to speak fluent and authentic Dutch, and asked how he had learned it. The young man joked that he knew a Dutch friend and had studied with him for a few years.

In this way, Finney Ye smoothly struck up a conversation with Prince William.

Next, Finney Yeh's humorous conversation, insight, and deep insight into wine, flowers, and European customs made William feel a sense of light. The other party also seems to be quite clear about the situation of the Croms family and the Rose Prince Group, and seems to have paid special attention. William knew that the young man was deliberately looking for a place to talk to him, and he couldn't help but be interested, wondering what this mysterious Finney Leaf was going to say to him.

Sure enough, after a moment of small talk.

"Mr. William, as far as I can see, your company seems to have been experiencing some difficulties in its business recently." Finney Ye said inadvertently.

"Oh, why did Mr. Finney say that?"

"It is said that your company's fifth-generation cosmetics will be fully launched on the market next year, and the demand for flower raw materials will be quite large. The cost of flower planting in Europe is increasing, and many flower companies have moved their planting sites to low-cost third countries・・・・・・ Your Excellency came to China this time to seek high-quality flower raw materials. Finney Ye said confidently.

William smiled: "I remember that the Chinese have an old saying called 'Mao Sui self-recommendation', Mo Fei Fenni, you came to recommend myself to Mao Sui?" ”

"Huh." Finney Ye said confidently, "Exactly. ”

"In fact, I am the chairman of Luye Group. The world's leading technology in flower cultivation, 1 million hectares of plantation, Louis XIV, William II, golden sunshine, and the mass production of precious roses are the pride of our group. Of course, we also produce special flowers according to the requirements of our customers. For example, we recently delivered 100,000 Night Queen tulips to a customer in the United States. ”

Finney Ye said calmly, his face full of confidence and pride. The Queen of the Night Tulip is a precious black tulip variety that Xinjiapo researchers have successfully cultivated only a few years ago, which is difficult to plant, scarce in yield, and has become a treasure in the flower industry because of its beautiful and unique appearance.

William thought that this man would not have boasted of such idiocy in order to seek cooperation, and what he said was probably true. So he smiled and asked, "In this way, your company's exhibition is really exciting." ”

"I'm just waiting for your words, His Highness William." Finney Ye said bluntly: "Here, the contemptible people officially invite you to visit the flower products of Luye Group, Area A No. 5 exhibition area, can you enjoy your face?" ”

Finney Leaf held out his right hand.

"It's a pleasure." William shook his hand gently.

"See you tomorrow, then, Prince Rose." Finney Ye made a pact and left. After taking two steps, he suddenly turned around and said, "Oh, by the way, Your Royal Highness the Prince, I have specially prepared a surprise for you, no worse than the 'Nightingale' of the Croms family, you must come." ”

With that, he left with a mysterious smile.

"The Nightingale", one of the most prestigious varieties of roses bred by the Williams family, is a red rose that can bloom in the cold winter of the land of ice. The name comes from the fairy tale "The Nightingale and the Rose" by the English writer Oscar Wilde, which tells the story of a nightingale who sacrifices herself to satisfy the desire of a dwarf and poor man to pursue white beauty, sings on a moonlit night, and waters the rose with her own blood to make it bloom in the cold winter. The "Nightingale" rose is named after this poignant story, this kind of rose is extraordinarily bright red and delicate, blooming only in the cold winter season, and often only one flower at a time. After blooming, it does not wither throughout the winter, and it is as bright as ever, and has a long and unique aroma. Breeding is extremely difficult, with a total number of no more than 10,000 plants, which is endemic to the Cromes family.

Arrogant or confident?

William watched Finney Ye leave, and to be honest, the young Oriental had succeeded in piquing his interest.

・・・・・・

The next day, the Sanhai International Convention and Exhibition Center, thousands of empty alleys, unprecedented.

"Ye Feng, are you sure William Cromes will come?" Shen Ruolan, who didn't see anyone from the Rose Prince Group, couldn't help but tilt her head and show a suspicious look at Ye Feng.

Ye Feng glanced at her and said, "Of course it's certain." It will definitely come, these European aristocrats are very trustworthy and good. Be patient. ”

Calming Shen Ruolan, who was a little nervous, Ye Feng released his spiritual power and observed the surrounding situation.

Everything is normal, well, except for the discovery of a couple of pickpockets.

At about eleven o'clock, Ye Feng saw William's figure.

"Your Excellency, William, you have kept me waiting for a long time. I'm about to wonder if the credit of the Dutch has depreciated along with inflation. Ye Feng joked.

"Hehe, the Dutch do what they say. So, where is the surprise you are talking about, Mr. Finney? William said with great interest.

"It's inside. Before that, let me accompany you to browse the products of Luye Group. After Ye Feng finished speaking, he took William and a few of his entourage to visit the exhibition area.

"This is an ordinary flower exhibition area, mainly products for ordinary consumers, mainly cut flowers and potted plants." Ye Feng took William through the outer layer of the exhibition area, and several booths were closely and chicly placed with hundreds of common flowers, and the florists were all labeled with the trademark of Luye Group.

William nodded slightly and said approvingly: "Yes, to be honest, your company's ordinary flowers are not much different from the level of a world-class flower company. ”

Then Ye Feng took William to see the high-end product area, that is, the hundred flowers that have been strengthened to the limit, all of which are arranged in a staggered and orderly manner in the form of potted plants, as if more than 100 beauties are competing for beauty.

William's eyes lit up with the extreme enhanced flowers, and he said with a little surprise: "These flowers are real and unique. Translucent fleshy texture, pure and bright color, and noble temperament, this is the first time I have encountered this type of flower. Is this unique to your company? ”

Ye Feng said proudly: "That's right, this is the core product of Luye Group - 'Luye No. 1' Super Flower. This flower cannot help but be unique and beautiful in appearance, and it is very vigorous, and it is three to five times more resistant than ordinary varieties, and it can almost adapt to the climate. The shelf life after cutting is twice that of ordinary varieties, and the growth cycle is shortened by 20 percent. Although the yield is low, I can proudly say that there is no flower company in the world that has the cultivation technology of this flower except for the Green Leaf Group. ”

William couldn't help but nod his head, agreeing with Ye Feng's statement.

Seeing that William and the others were gradually interested, Ye Feng showed a smug smile. He took the opportunity to say: "Your Excellency William, the next thing we will watch is the latest scientific research achievements of Luye Group. ”

"That surprise? Haha, to be honest, Finney, you have brought me a lot of surprises, and I can't help but look forward to it. William said with a smile.

At Ye Feng's signal, the small compartment that had been closed was opened.

The cubicle is very small, only about ten square meters, and the group looks a little crowded when they walk in. But no one cared, and their eyes were drawn to the half-human-high white cloth covering the room.

Everyone stood around the thing, Ye Feng stepped forward and grabbed the corner of the covering cloth, glanced at everyone, and then pretended to smile mysteriously: "Everyone, what follows is the moment to witness the miracle. ”

Although Ye Feng's pretending to be mysterious was old-fashioned, it also made William and the others can't help but feel a little nervous and expectant, and the eyes of the audience focused on the things covered by the white cloth.

"Luye Group's latest products, please take a look!"

Ye Feng said loudly, his hands suddenly lifted the cloth, and an emerald green sculpture appeared in front of everyone, instantly attracting the attention of everyone present like a magnet.

It was a green half-human-tall statue, carved of a graceful maiden, with a long flowing skirt and a beautiful countenance. His eyes were slightly closed, and he was holding a red rose. He wears a grass ring made of olive branches on his head, and is surrounded by rose vines of different colors. Dense rose vines are also clustered underfoot, dotted with dozens of miniature roses the size of colorful coins.

The aroma mixed with the fragrance of various roses comes to the face, sometimes strong, sometimes elegant, sometimes long, like a fine wine with endless aftertaste. William and the others looked closely, and found that the roses of different sizes and shapes around the girl's sculpture were actually real, and they seemed to grow on the same flower vine.

"Oh my God! This statue is real! Suddenly, one of William's entourage exclaimed.

The others, inexplicably, looked at the statue closely, and then looked horrified. The statue of the girl that everyone thought was a plastic sculpture was actually a smooth, jade-like plant!

Walking in and taking a closer look, William and others found that the body of the statue of the girl was some kind of living succulent plant, similar to aloe vera, with a smooth and evenly colored skin and a jade-like texture. The feet are rooted in the soil, and there are no spots or buds and leaves on the whole body. With vivid facial features, delicate hair and clothing, it looks like a work of art carved by a master carver from a jade jade with a whole body of turquoise. William and his retinue had a lot of experience, but they couldn't understand how the other party cultivated the plant into a folded shape, which was no less exquisite than a handicraft.

Mould finalization? It is impossible to achieve such a fine shape in the mold, and there will be uneven color and imprints left behind. However, William and the others could not find a trace of artificial processing residues from it, more like a plant growing like this.

In addition, William et al. also had questions about the species of this plant. It appears to be a succulent plant like a cactus, with no leaves, spines, skin holes, or bud marks, and a smooth appearance, uniform green color, without variegation or markings.

"This is Louis XIV! The Golden Queen, St. Shiran, Pink Alice・・・・・・・ and lo and behold, there is also the Blue Enchantress, this seems to be true, not dyed. William's entourage, the florist of the Prince of Roses, shouted around the statue of the maiden, and exclaimed.

William also recognized that there were more than a dozen kinds of roses growing in this small bonsai, each of which was a prestigious and precious rose variety in the world, and it was blooming brightly at the moment. What surprised William was not the beauty of these flowers, but the fact that he found that all the roses in this potted plant actually grew on the same rose vine, one with multiple flowers!

"Incredible, Finney, how did you do that?" William couldn't help but sigh.

"Embodying the top flower technology of the Green Leaf Group, flower shaping and perfect grafting, the girl statue is essentially a cactus plant, as for how we make it grow according to the design, it is the company's top secret. There is also a technology to let a variety of related flowers grow and bloom on the same plant, generally grafted plants will be more fragile, easy to die or partially die, we have successfully solved this problem, so that it has the same vitality as normal plants, and ensure that they can bloom at the same time, greatly enhance its ornamental value. Ye Feng explained with a smile.

"Ladies and gentlemen, take note."

Ye Feng clapped his hands, diverting the attention of William and the others from the flowers. Looking around at the crowd: "Now I'm going to do a magic trick for everyone, I'm going to make the girl in the flower pot come alive." ”

Bringing flowers to life?

William and others reverie.

"Old Wu, look at my gestures, you will turn off the lights as soon as I wave my hand." Ye Feng turned his head and whispered to one of his subordinate employees.

The employee surnamed Wu nodded and walked to the light switch.

Ye Feng looked at everyone and said loudly: "Okay, I'm going to do magic and bring the girl statue to life." 3――2――1! ”

Ye Feng shook his hand, and the employee surnamed Wu turned off the light, and the room was instantly dim.

"Oh, the melon seller." The flower experts of the Rose Prince Group were stunned and stared at the pot of girl statue flowers in front of them.

William's eyes also widened, unable to speak, and instantly lost the ability to think.

In the dimly lit room, statues of maidens and roses in flower pots glow brightly, like lit night lights. The green fluorescence makes the statue of the girl seem to have life, giving people the feeling that they will open their eyes and come to life at any time. The glowing body of Miaoman, dotted with colorful fluorescent roses, shimmered like the dawn of dawn, and as magnificent as the aurora in the night sky.

Everyone seemed to see a holy and beautiful elf girl, holding roses in her hand, strolling in the sea of roses, with an intoxicating shyness and smile on her face, walking towards them step by step.

"The name of this pot of flowers, Goddess of Luminescence."

Looking at a few stunned foreigners, Ye Feng proudly pointed to the pot of flowers and announced: "Luminous technology, the third latest technology of the Green Leaf Group." ”

The statue of a young girl grown into a plant, and the glow-in-the-dark flowers・・・・・・ all of these completely subverted the perception of flower professionals like William. Suddenly, they felt like they were witnessing a revolution in the flower industry.

"It's so beautiful! Simply fantastic flowers! Finney, where is the florist who cultivated this flower, I want to see him soon. William's eyes sparkled.

Ye Feng smiled. Will my brother tell you that the handsome and dashing little brother in front of you is the person you are looking for?

The so-called three top technologies of the Green Leaf Group are actually all the capabilities of the master of the leaf maple plant. Shaping the plant is as simple as scanning the prepared model with mental power and controlling the plant to grow in a predetermined shape. Perfect grafting is simpler, and the control grafting interface is perfectly overlapped, and then the vitality after grafting can be ensured by extreme strengthening. The seemingly weird glow-in-the-dark technology can control the plant body to contain the glow-in-the-dark powder in the process of plant growth. The so-called "Goddess of Luminous Lights" is actually something specially created by Ye Feng to fool experts.

Because the method of flickering is too extraordinary, the experts can't think of how the Green Leaf Group cultivates such flowers, and they can't help but believe in the so-called three top technologies at once.

The "flower aristocracy" Rose Prince Group was thus contributed by Ye Feng's big flicker.

William Holmes stared intently at the pot of the "Goddess of the Night", with a look of fascination・・・・・・・
