Chapter 44: Reference!
"Hello, my pot of Jiangcheng has been divided into two small plants. A few days ago, a small plant was sold to a man who now wants to buy flowers from me. โ
When Zhang Xu was about to resign, the window jumped, and news came immediately.
"Lan You, wait for me, don't sell it!"
Zhang Xule was very happy. Does the person keep their phone at all times?
"I'm really sincere. I'm more sincere than that man. When he buys your seedlings, he can't judge the quality of that pot of Jiangcheng.
I'm different. I don't need to buy seedlings to know that this is a good river city. It's a good downhill town. This is a rare good river city in a hundred years. โ
"Really, Lan You, I like it very much, please sell it to me.
If the quality of this pot is guaranteed, I would also like to buy the mutated Wenxin orchid pot in another article of yours. โ
Zhang Xu said something.
"It's not good. I have an agreement with him. I'll sell it to him first......"
"It's just a priority, isn't there a competitor like me?
As I said, the higher the price, the better!
How much does he pay? โ
When Zhang Xule saw his success, he didn't want to be eaten by one person.
"Well, since you're all interested in buying, I'll make an auction link for you guys just to be fair.
I will tell Jiangcheng friends the time and tell you the time. โ
"Excellent! I've been waiting! โ
Zhang Xu left a message for Lan Dusk Luo Bo.
"Some people still want to buy my pot of red hearts and plum blossoms. To be fair, I'm going to start the auction. Tell me about your free time. โ
Blue Soul Luo Bo didn't reply to Zhang Xu immediately, but Zhang Xu went to see the post.
Both of his posts are on the forum and are very popular. He wanted to see what others had to say.
After watching it for a few minutes, he became less interested.
As usual, he said that his Jiangcheng is a scientific Jiangcheng.
The following comment has grown to the point where anyone who talks to him will be scolded together.
Zhang Xuzhi shook his head.
"There are so many trolls online. If we compare ourselves to them, we don't have to live anymore, we get angry. โ
At this time, Zhang Xu saw new information from Luo Bo in the blue dusk.
"Well, I'll be free after six o'clock tonight."
Blue Soul Luo Bo was also very cheerful and didn't say anything about Zhang Xu.
Zhang Xu decided to start the auction at 7 p.m. to get ready for the two.
It was still early, and he went to work, dealing with new orders regarding prestige.
Since the membership system came out. Since then, people have become more enthusiastic about buying his fruits, fearing that Zhang Xu will impose stricter purchase restrictions.
Zhang Xu received reports one after another and blackmailed a number of middleman customers.
Many people referred new users. Zhang Xu knows that some people may be their family members. As long as he doesn't resell his fruit at a high price, he will turn a blind eye.
While processing a new order, Lao Zhang sent him a message.
"Brother, in a few days I will hold a groundbreaking ceremony at the amusement park near your house. I cordially invite you to participate. โ
"I want to buy a few hundred to a few thousand peaches with you. When graduation comes, we eat it and give it away. Do you have so many ripe peaches?
If you have lychees, buy some. โ
Zhang Xu had a smile on his face.
That's great. Another big order came.
There is no doubt that the rich Lao Zhang is his super VIP member, and the number of purchases can be discussed.
Zhang Xu thought about the number of peaches. Currently, there are about 4,000 catties of unripe peaches hanging from the tree.
He had planned to sell it within a month.
Lao Zhang asked for hundreds as soon as he came up, and the rest would be sold out soon.
He touched his finger and replied to Lao Zhang.
"A thousand peaches and a hundred lychees.
On your graduation day, I will attend in person. โ
"Okay!"
After talking to Lao Zhang, Zhang Xu counted other orders.
"We have to pick more than 1,900 peaches and more than 170 lychees in five days, which is a bit of a heavy work and not enough manpower."
After picking the peaches, Zhang Xu let Zhang Lan and Zhang Li rest for two days.
"Let them come tomorrow morning. In addition to them, it is better to get more people to help. Who can we find? โ
Zhang Xu didn't think about finding someone else in the factory to help him pick fruits.
Ever since he learned about the middleman, he had become more worried.
Considering the particularity of the fruit, the person who came to pick the fruit for him must have a good character and not be careless.
Zhang Xu has been working in the workshop for so long, he probably knows the character of these people.
A bit greedy.
He had seen a lot of people desperately stuffing things into their clothes in order to get them out of the factory.
Imagine an aunt stealing oil at a supermarket.
This phenomenon is especially prevalent in winter. In short, the thick clothes are out of sight.
Therefore, Zhang Xu chose to find someone to pick fruits. In addition to taking into account the wishes of the person, he should also keep his hands and feet clean.
Zhang Lan and Zhang Li are people he can trust.
Others, he was a little unsure.
"Zhang Lan, the old rule, you and Zhang Li will come to help pick fruits tomorrow."
"Okay."
"Time is a bit tight. Can you ask Qin Haiyan if she is available to help? โ
Qin Haiyan is a widow. She was silent. She works in a factory with her children, and it is very hard to earn money on weekdays.
This is a suitable object that Zhang Xu can think of.
Zhang Lan replied: "Qin Haiyan has something to do at home these days, so she has a holiday." โ
Zhang Xu had to sigh.
There is no shortage of money and manpower.
After a while, he received a text message from Zhang Na.
In a news screenshot, Zhang Xu saw the caption #Lychee Assassin appear in an upscale shopping mall and sell out within two days.
The highlight of a box of ordinary lychees is the price, 1099 kg, which is jaw-dropping.
Exiting the picture, Zhang Xu saw that Zhang Na was typing.
"Let me tell you about last year's news. How expensive is the lychee outside.
Don't you have a lychee tree?
You can quote a price of 1,000 yuan a catty. I think you've got to plant better than this. โ
Zhang Na's words were ironic, which made Zhang Xu very happy.
He used his finger to check the information of the lychees that had been planted, which gave him inspiration.
"Zeng Cheng's lychee is green, with a red shell and a green 'ribbon'. The flesh is white and crystalline, sweet and refreshing.
Most of them are calculated by the number of pieces and come in a beautiful brocade box.
There is only one tree in the world that has ever turned green. As a rare lychee variety, it was a tribute to the Qing court.
There are more than 4,000 seedlings of green trees, all grafted from the mother tree in the West Garden.
The more times the grafting, the worse the fruit and the cheaper the price. Most trees on the market can be bought for three or four generations.
More than 20 years ago, at Zeng Cheng's lychee charity auction, the most expensive one was sold for 555,000 yuan, breaking the Guinness Book of Records and becoming the most expensive fruit in the world. โ
Lychees are sold by the block, and each piece is precious.
This is similar to Zhang's current fruit business, but Zhang's sales are not expensive enough.
He searched for Zeng Cheng's lychees on the e-commerce platform and found that the price of green lychees on the platform was generally between 200-300 yuan per catty, and the most expensive single lychee was priced at 98.8 yuan.
"It's funny. They are picked on-site and do not accept the specified delivery time. They were available in late June and ordered for delivery. โ
However, it is now the end of April, and the lychees are just beginning to bloom and bear small fruits.
In the beginning, the grandfather planted a traditional breed of concubine laugh on the mountain, which was easy to feed.
Last year was a cold winter with a lot of rain, so flowering and fruiting were relatively delayed. At least, they won't be available until the end of May.
Therefore, Zhang Xu has no plan for this.
"We can think about how to sell the lychees in advance."
At present, Zhang Xu sells peaches and lychees for 50 yuan each, which is far from reflecting the value of blood.
"There is only a puddle of blood in consciousness that slowly rises when it is used up, but no one knows if it will dry up one day.
And there will only be more and more places where blood is used. Sooner or later, supply will outstrip demand. โ
Zhang Xu considers these possibilities in his spare time.
Water cashew nuts, river cities, fruits, and occasionally bring some soup. The blood level in the puddle is getting lower and lower.
As soon as the blood supply became unavailable, his plans to make money would suddenly stop.
Once upon a time, lychees were valued for their rarity. Is that the spiritual fruit that he watered with his blood?
Although the price of lychee cannot be the same as the price of the former mother tree, it cannot be cheaper than the market price of the former mother tree.
"My spirit fruit is worth more. We can consider planting a few Lychee King trees and then auctioning them off like Zeng Cheng. โ
To auction, there must be many high-quality customers, and Zhang Xu's fruit reputation must be good in the early stage, so that guests will have the urge to participate in the auction.
Peaches, lychees and other fruits will be added to the market one after another, steadily building a well-known brand.
This is exactly what Zhang Xu can do. The purchase restrictions in recent days are to increase the number of quality customers. Every time he sells a fruit, he will get praise from customers, which is the accumulation of the early stage.
Step by step, don't rush.
Thinking of the future, Zhang Xu feels like a clear sky.
Looking at the chat with Zhang Na, he suddenly had an idea.
"Are you free these days?
I recently had a large order, and picking fruit requires manpower.
If you pay a fee, you can work more than three hours every morning and pay 100 yuan. โ
His offer to Zhang Na was similar to Zhang Li's. Zhang Na is an academic, and she certainly did not work in agriculture at such a high price.
Zhang Na immediately let out a surprised smile and sent a few paragraphs.
"I'm free! I'm free every day. I can come to me anytime and find such a good part. Job work! โ
"I am preparing for the public exam every day, and it can be seen from the materials that I am short-sighted. It is better to go to the mountains to pick fruits, do some physical work and sweat. โ
"I kept thinking, I don't have the money to travel after the exam.
100 yuan for more than three hours, which is more than the money my brother paid me to clean the badminton hall.
He paid me $500 a month for peeling that week. โ
"It took three hours to pick fruit in the morning, three hours to read the materials in the afternoon, and three hours to take my brother to the badminton hall in the evening. It's a very fulfilling life. โ
"It's so close to home. The function makes so much money, which is so much better than my summer job outside. โ
"I wanted to ask if you needed help, but I'm sorry. It's okay now, hee-hee. โ
I can imagine how excited Zhang Na was on the other end of the phone.
Zhang Xu replied with a smile: "I wonder if your brother will let you come and pick fruit for me?" Otherwise, let me ask him first. โ
It was polite to ask a college student to do farm work and tell Zhang Na's brother Zhao Ming.
Zhang Na immediately said: "Don't worry about him, if my brother knows that I work for you, he won't be happy."
I don't like to play badminton. He said that I was not diligent in pentathlon every day, which always made me exercise more.
Besides, he doesn't have time for me now.
Ever since you kept the Golden Spring for him, he has indulged in planting Jiangcheng in his free time.
Just now, I heard him say that his Jiangcheng friends in his Jiangcheng group were arguing about tonight's auction, and he was busy being a peacemaker.
By the way, you should know one of them, Li Xiu, my brother's student. โ
Zhang Xufu touches the heart.
Tonight's auction?
He will auction off Jiangcheng with red heart plum petals at seven o'clock. Blue Soul Luo Bo in the group. 99% of people are talking about it.
Li Xiu has been jumping under Zhang Xu's position, saying that Ke Jilan is not as good as his Su Guandinghe. Zhang Xu didn't bother to pay attention to his comments.
Zhang Xuke did not forget that Li Xiu had humiliated him.
"It looks like fun. Talk to Brother Nao. โ
Zhang Xu sent a message to Zhao Ming.
"Brother Zhikun, did Li Xiu ask me about Jiangcheng recently?"
Zhao Ming quickly replied to his message.
"No, he's been busy lately. He hasn't come to badminton lessons these days. โ
"It doesn't matter. When you are free, tell him that I have tried my best to raise the Jiang Cheng he asked me to raise, but I can't save them.
It's been too long. โ
After a long time, Zhang Xu received two paragraphs from Zhao Ming.
"Brother, stop.
In fact, I told you before that you shouldn't waste your time and energy on Li Xiu's Broken River City.
His Jiang Cheng has been dead for too long. These are the stupid grass river cities he left behind. Even if they are full, they are wasting their time.
In addition, I heard that he recently found a national cattle farmer to help him maintain Jiangcheng.
He must have entrusted the better of Jiangcheng down the mountain to that person and asked him to help raise it. โ
Zhang Xu smiled knowingly. He had heard Li Xiu tell his son Lao Liu about this before. He wasn't surprised. He just used the topic to open up what to say next.
"Should I give him back the pot, then?"
"Hey, those pots aren't anything of value. They are all available on the streets. If you want to pay him back, just paying the gas bill is not enough. You can handle them yourself. โ
Zhang Xu asked casually, knowing that there was nothing special about those flower pots, and they didn't leave any traces, so he wouldn't help.
In addition, he was too lazy to resell new pots.
"Brother Zhikun, you introduced me to the Jiangcheng Forum before, and I went to see it. There seems to be a hot post about a pot of red hearts plum blossom river city. It seems that Li Xiu is also active in it. Do you know what it is? โ
Zhao Ming replied quickly.
"Even you know!
You're welcome. Let me tell you something. In addition to chatting with you, I was still a peacemaker in the Jiangcheng group just now, but now it is almost subsided. โ
Zhang Xu learned from Zhang Na that Zhao Ming was involved in this matter, so he had a conversation at the beginning. As a seller, he should know more about the buyer.
"What's wrong?"
Zhao Mingzhi said everything.
The three Jiangcheng friends in the group quarreled.
Two of them wanted to buy a red heart plum orchid, but Li Xiu said that they were scientific Jiangcheng and said that they had no eyesight.
In the end, they were angry. I'll show their chat history in a screenshot. โ
Zhang Xu made an expression of eating melons.
"Look."
After a while, Zhao Ming sent a screenshot.
Li Xiu: This pot of red heart plum petals is an eye-catching science and technology Jiangcheng. You are all Jiangcheng cultivation experts. How can you still get into the pit.
Fang Wei, a third-generation orchid farmer: Li Xiu, say that this is not a scientific Jiangcheng. You can see a post detailing the analysis process on my forum. I won't say much here.
Blue Soul Robb: @ๆ่ฏปๅฐไบ็ฌฌไธไปฃๆฑๅ่ฒ็งๅฎถๆนๅท็ๅธๅญ. The heroes think the same thing, and I'm glad I do.
Many people on the forum are biased by public opinion.
A few days ago, I bought a young plant with that blue friend. After inspecting the cargo, determine the suitable dragon. The root is the Shimoyama orchid.
Then he sent a few high-definition photos.
Fang Wei, a third-generation Jiangcheng breeder: @ๅ ฐ้ญ็ฝๆณข, it's you and me who compete!
I didn't go to the forum for a few days, and you took the lead. I hate it!
Blue Soul Lobo: Hey, hey, hey.
Li Xiu: This young plant is really good, but can you be sure that the red heart plum blossom Jiangcheng sold by Lan You is real?
Lan Soul Luo Bo: @ๆไฟฎ, I know that the Jiangcheng of the red heart and plum petals is a bit like your pot of vegetable crowns and lotus cauldrons. It's natural that you can't see it clearly.
Li Xiu: How can I participate in my Su Guan and Ding? My pot was very popular. I can find its legacy. I don't know what!
Fang Wei, a third-generation Jiangcheng breeder: One thing I have to say, I think this pot of red heart plum petals is stronger than your pot of Suguan crane top.
Li Xiu: Well, I dare you to unite against me. I'm just giving you advice. It's too harsh!
Novice Zhao Ming: Don't be angry, but this is just for a pot of Jiangcheng that has not been verified. There is no need to hurt the kindness of the other party.
Li Xiu: Coach Li, don't mention it. It's me who cares about the rats.
Blue Soul Luo Bo: @ๆไฟฎ, I prefer the red heart plum.
Fang Wei, a third-generation Jiangcheng breeder: I'm telling the truth. Please forgive me if there is any offense.
Novice Zhao Ming: @ๅ ฐ้ญ็ฝๅ@็ฌฌไธไปฃๅ ปๅ ฐไบบๆนๅท
Aren't you two going to auction tonight? Whoever will auction and get the goods will know what the result will be. Let's have a long-term experience.
Blue Soul Lobo: Okay, I'm determined to get it.
Fang Wei, the third-generation Lan raiser: @ๅ ฐ้ญ็ฝๆณข่ๆฏไฝ ็, the Lord should be mine. Give it to me.
Blue Soul Luo Bo: Do what you can.
Li Xiu: I'm waiting and seeing.
Blue Soul Lobo: Even if you look at this picture, you don't believe it. It's useless to see it. You have preconceived notions.
Newbie Zhao Ming: You said you wanted to see my golden spring. Who can take a photo of the red heart plum? Let's enjoy it together.
Fang Wei, a third-generation Jiangcheng breeder: Yes.
Lanhun Lobo: As far as I know, there will be a flower show in your mountain town in the next few days. Please bring me some bonsai and Jiangcheng.
That flower show is not very famous. I didn't want to go there, but now I can.
