Volume 1 Spring Chapter 16 Measuring the Ruler
The opening of the landscape demonstration area in Luolan Xianggu has been going on for six days, and Xiao Ting has called Feng Chunxi twice to invite him, but he has refused. On the last day, Lu Qianyue drove to the gardening store and forcibly drove Feng Chunxi to the scene.
According to the plan agreed between Feng Chunxi and the decoration company, two large dragon's blood trees were planted at the entrance of the sales office, a pot of good luck was placed at the reception desk, and a small potted plant was placed on the negotiation table in the hall.
Xiao Ting was explaining the project plan to a group of customers around the sand table, when she saw Lu Tianyue and Feng Chunxi coming, she motioned for them to wait, and beckoned the water bartender to bring two cups of coffee.
"Chunxi, I heard Xiao Ting say that the developer is very satisfied with the green plant matching and maintenance services you provide in the sales office, and you have to work the model room. Nowadays, large green plants have become an important part of soft decoration design, but the final implementation is often difficult because there is no specialized home decoration green plant supplier in the market. Green plants bought from the flower market often get sick and die quickly due to their quality and lack of necessary maintenance knowledge. You're a master at this, and I think it's a great opportunity. Lu Tianyue sincerely suggested to Feng Chunxi.
The development of home improvement green plants is indeed a good blank market, and the market space is very large, Feng Chunxi also wants to develop in the past, but his own strength can be said to be only technology, there is no way to form a scale, he replied with a smile: "Thank you Secretary Lu for my recognition, I will definitely go all out for the project of Roland Xianggu, as for the development of home improvement and green plant industry, it is not very realistic for me, if you want to develop large-scale industrialization, you need a whole chain of supporting industries, I can currently cooperate with this project is good, If the owners here can also come to my shop in the future to buy greenery, it will be a big business. ”
The two were still chatting, Xiao Ting had already finished receiving customers, and enthusiastically took Feng Chunxi and Lu Tianyue to visit the landscape demonstration area. The demonstration area is a landscape sketch mainly created by violet flowers, with many temporary pergolas and rattan chairs, swings, and small slides for visiting customers to relax and play. The peacock next to the plane tree and the alpaca on the lawn have brought more upgrades to the entire demonstration area. The marshmallow carts and ice cream machines on both sides of the sightseeing route can be picked up free of charge. Coming here is like attending a garden party, and everyone's face is filled with relaxed and happy smiles.
Under Xiao Ting's beckoning, the three of them stopped at a buffet area for Brazilian barbecue. The delicious gravy with freshly brewed beer made Feng Chunxi feel more comfortable than ever. Lu Qianyue and Xiao Ting wanted to drive and ordered a glass of apple-flavored and orange-flavored soda respectively.
"Chunxi, the green plant service you did for the sales office, the leaders and colleagues of the marketing department are very satisfied, and when the opening of the demonstration area is over, I will help you with the service fee." Xiao Ting raised the soda glass and said to Feng Chunxi.
"Don't worry, this cooperation is also an attempt to break the business model for me, and I would like to thank your company for providing me with the opportunity." With a bang, the cups collided together, and the two of them each took a sip of the drink in the cup.
"You've seen the decoration renderings of the model room, I don't know what you think about the green plant decoration?" Xiao Ting then asked.
Feng Chunxi thought for a moment and replied: "As far as I know, the model rooms are now using artificial green plants. Including many owners after moving in, the artificial green plants that are still placed in the home, the current price of this artificial green plant is even more expensive than the real green plant, right? ”
Xiao Ting nodded, affirming Feng Chunxi's statement.
"If it is with artificial green plants, then I have no opinion on the current green plant decoration scheme, Ma Zui wood and Qin Ye Rong, Crane Wanglan are all modern decorative plants left at the moment, which can improve the overall tonality of decoration."
"That's right, we wanted to do that, because that's the most conventional way of insurance. However, Roland Valley is a garden-style residential project with the theme of creating a landscape garden, and if real greenery can be used, it can undoubtedly bring customers a comfortable experience closer to nature, so as to truly recognize the park-style residential concept of the project. ”
"If you want to use real green plants, then the current matching scheme may have to be adjusted."
"Why? These kinds of green plants are very popular at the moment, and I have also checked some information, and it should not be difficult to maintain, not to mention that you are still there. ”
"These large plants such as ficus and crane orchid are of course beautiful when taken in photos, but they can be seen up close, and it is impossible for every leaf to be so perfect, which is still a good case. Once you get sick, the phenomenon of yellow leaves will appear, and large green plants are different from bonsai such as moon season and pothos, and can be pruned to become beautiful. Pruning a single leaf of these large plants can affect the overall appearance. ”
"But, with you, I'm sure I can take good care of them." Xiao Ting looked at Feng Chunxi sincerely, he believed in the ability of the man in front of him in gardening.
"I'm not as good as you think. Moreover, plants themselves, like people, cannot be born with every facial feature to be good-looking, we have to accept that they are flawed, and we have to accept that they will be born, old, sick and die. ”
"What about Ma Zuki? I've seen real horses drunk with wood branches, just a vase, half a bottle of water, you can immediately have a small forest of your own. This Japanese style is small and fresh, and it is very elegant as a table decoration. And it was originally a water-fed branch, and it can be replaced with one when it dries up. ”
Feng Chunxi was silent for a moment again, and replied, "I'm sorry, this may also be my personal plot as a gardener. We always want the plant we grow to come to life and watch it grow healthier day by day, rather than watching it wither. I believe that this process from prosperity to decline is also not in line with the theme of the project's garden. ”
Xiao Ting thought for a while and nodded deeply a few times, expressing her approval of Feng Chunxi's point of view. Although Lu Qianyue on the side does not understand real estate, she is also preparing to decorate the house recently, and she also listened to Feng Chunxi's suggestions very seriously, urging Feng Chunxi to ask what green plants should be more suitable.
Feng Chunxi opened the photo album on his mobile phone, pointed the screen at the two and said: "The large plants in the living room use the measuring scale, and the other small decorative green plants are tiger piran and air pineapple. ”
"I know that it looks a bit like a cactus, this kind of thing can be easy to raise, but does it look too simple?" Lu Tingyue interjected.
"We also discussed this when we were studying the decoration plan, but the marketing department also agreed that this plant was not beautiful enough." Xiao Ting also explained the company's view.
"In my experience of opening a gardening shop, the people who really know how to raise flowers and can take care of them are usually older people. Young people are more likely to choose simple and easy-to-raise green plants, mainly hoping to bring some decorative effects to their homes through green plants, so they are more accepting of the convenience of artificial green plants than the fun of the flower raising process. The main buying group of our houses should not be too big, right? Feng Chunxi asked rhetorically.
"The target customer research we did showed that the buyer group of this project should be under 45 years old, mainly between 30 and 35 years old." Xiao Ting replied.
"Then you have to choose plants that are very easy to maintain, and have strong adaptability to light and low water requirements. The decoration of this high-quality community is exquisite, no one will want to play in the mud in their high-end residence, and putting a water tray under the flower pot will also affect the appearance. Measuring rulers and tiger pirans only need to be raised with ceramsite or gravel, and some white sand can be placed on the surface for decoration, watering once a month, this maintenance method and putting a pot of artificial green plants is not much trouble. And the air pineapple, you don't even need a flower pot, hang it in a suitable place, and occasionally spray some water mist on the roots to live very well. ”
"Looking at it this way, in terms of planting difficulty, these kinds of green plants are really suitable, but I don't know how the decoration effect is?" Xiao Ting then asked.
"Green plants are meant to be decorative, and the simpler it is, the better. Of course, I'm a layman in this regard, but I just suggest that you can ask the decoration company to re-produce the renderings to try. ”
"Okay, I'll write down all your suggestions, and I'll pass them on to the decoration company at the next meeting, and the green plant entry is the last step, and it's not a matter of urgency."
After ending the exchange with Xiao Ting, Lu Tianyue drove Feng Chunxi back to the store. Out of politeness, Feng Chunxi asked her if she wanted to go to Majia Noodle Restaurant to eat braised noodles, but she didn't expect her to agree immediately.
