Chapter 8: Successive Transactions
Is there something wrong?
Of course there is!
The middle-aged man surnamed Shan felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
He calculated that there should be a lot of rich people from the south, and his Cantonese starlings could come in handy.
Even if you can't sell starlings and sell something else, is this money still money for those rich people?
But he hasn't opened it yet, but the "Xiao Ji" next to him, with a few pots of watery orchids, is actually about to open.
As soon as it opened, it was a business of a few hundred dollars; The old man obviously really took a fancy to a pot, and went home to take the money.
Peers make money, which is more uncomfortable than being knifed yourself!
Seeing Ji Yuanhai talking, the middle-aged man surnamed Shan walked over with the trend.
"Xiao Ji, is it open? Congratulations. β
Ji Yuanhai smiled: "It's hard to say, my orchid is expensive, and the old man just now was reluctant to take the money as soon as he said it." β
"At his age, when he goes home to discuss with his family, he is estimated to be stopped by his family; I don't have a lot of money in my hand, I can't be the master of the house, and I can't afford to play with this carefully served thing! β
The middle-aged man surnamed Shan felt much more comfortable in his heart, and secretly thought: It would be best if the old man didn't come.
Looking at these orchids that are still undiminished under the sun, he couldn't help but say: "Xiao Ji, ordinary orchids don't have the sun shining directly like you." β
"Do you have an exclusive secret recipe?"
Ji Yuanhai smiled and didn't answer.
The middle-aged man surnamed Shan clenched his fists and clapped his hands, looking suddenly surprised: "Look at this trouble!" I lost my words, I lost my words! β
In the industry of playing flowers and birds, inquiring about other people's exclusive skills, it is to rob other people's jobs, which is a feud.
After all, people have this advantage, and if they want to learn to leave, how can they still beg for a living?
He looked at the orchids in the Era Sea again, and said in his heart: This is not like plastic, why are you not afraid of the sun?
At this moment, a middle-aged man with glasses walked out of the exhibition hall.
As soon as I saw that Ji Yuanhai's stall was still there, and there was no shortage of orchids on it, I was immediately overjoyed: "Comrade, your flowers haven't been sold yet?" β
"According to what I said one hundred and fifteen, the price is about the same, can you give me a pot?"
This middle-aged man is the one who just offered to buy orchids, but he didn't buy them, and now he comes back from the flower show, and he still wants to buy a pot of orchids.
The middle-aged man surnamed Shan suddenly stiffened, and secretly scolded in his heart that this person was also blind, and he didn't know to come to my booth to take a look.
Seeing Ji Yuanhai waving his hand and refusing, the middle-aged man with glasses was a little anxious, and his voice became a little louder because of eagerness: "This price is not good, what price do you want?" β
Ji Yuanhai said indifferently: "Why are you in a hurry? If you don't buy or sell, you won't buy it, so there's no need to hurt the harmony like this. β
"Am I not going to buy it? I think the price you gave is too high! Said the middle-aged man with glasses.
"If the price is too high, you won't buy it." Ji Yuanhai said, "I didn't rely on you, I had to let you buy it; You go to the vegetable market to buy meat, and the price of meat is high, and you shout like this with others? β
The middle-aged man with glasses felt embarrassed when he saw his voice high, and many pedestrians looked at it, and even some came over to see the excitement.
Especially what Ji Yuanhai said was reasonable, but he didn't care about it himself.
Lowering his voice slightly, the middle-aged man with glasses said, "Comrade, I really want to buy it, but the price is too high, let's discuss it again?" β
Ji Yuanhai smiled: "There is no way to negotiate, the price you gave is too low." The lowest price in my stall is much higher than yours. β
"You...... What's your lowest price? Said the middle-aged man with glasses.
"I tell you, do you believe it?" Ji Yuanhai asked.
The middle-aged man with glasses was indeed a little anxious in his heart, and couldn't help but raise his voice again: "If you tell me, I really don't believe it!" β
As soon as his voice was so high, he really came over when he stopped to watch the excitement just now.
Because of this, there were several people standing in front of the booth of Ji Yuanhai, looking at the orchid, looking at the middle-aged man with glasses, just waiting for the quarrel, it is better to fight.
"Look, it's urgent, and you don't believe me." Ji Yuanhai smiled at the middle-aged man with glasses, "If that's the case, just watch from the side." β
"Today I sell orchids to others at the lowest price, you yourself look at it with your own eyes, feel suitable or not; If it's suitable, you can buy it, if it's not suitable, you can leave, and others can buy it with the money, so it can't be that my price is inappropriate, right? β
The middle-aged man with glasses looked at Ji Yuanhai: "Then what if...... You can't sell these flowers all day, what do you say? β
Ji Yuanhai laughed: "If I can't sell these flowers all day, then don't do this business!" When the time comes, I will send you a pot directly. β
The middle-aged man with glasses was suddenly overjoyed.
"Did you say that?"
"Yes, I said that!" Ji Yuanhai said.
"A word?" The middle-aged man with glasses confirmed again.
"It's a deal!" Ji Yuanhai said with a smile.
The two asked and answered, and there were more people who came around to see the excitement, and the people in the other stalls also came over when they saw this situation and looked at the excitement.
Someone erected a seedling and coaxed: "Talking counts!" β
"Talking definitely counts!" Ji Yuanhai smiled, "Everyone be careful, my orchid is carefully cultivated, and it costs hundreds of yuan." β
"If you kick it, don't say I didn't remind you in advance."
The person who was making the coax suddenly screamed: "Good fellow! You really dare to open this price! β
"If I didn't buy you for a day, would you give me a pot of flowers?"
Ji Yuanhai said lightly: "Coaxing doesn't count. β
"If you really want to be like this big brother with glasses, bet with me if anyone will buy my orchids, pay a deposit of 100 yuan first."
"When the time comes, as long as no one comes to buy my orchids, I will return the deposit of one hundred yuan to you, and I will give you a pot of orchids; But if someone comes to buy my orchids, you're going to have to buy a pot. β
"Why do you want me to pay a deposit?" The man shouted.
"Why are you reaching out for my orchid?" Ji Yuanhai said, "You just watched the excitement, and you didn't buy my orchids, you reached out and asked for something, isn't it appropriate?" β
"How do you know I don't buy orchids? I might even buy it! The man shouted.
Ji Yuanhai smiled: "The deposit is proof." β
The coaxing man was a little short of words, because of his shouting, there were more lively, three layers inside and three layers outside.
The people who came from behind didn't even know what was going on, and they also stomped their feet and craned their necks to look inside.
"What's going on?"
"I don't know."
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Seeing that there were more and more people, Lu Heling and Wang Zhuyun hurriedly stood up to greet them.
"Comrades, please step back and be careful."
"Hello, will you give way to the back? Don't squeeze the pots forward. β
Because both of them are beautiful and speak politely, even if they are coaxers, they are embarrassed to shout anymore, and they both retreat a little.
Seeing the lively crowd retreating, it was inevitable that they would enter the range of the road and begin to obstruct traffic a little - the roads in this era were relatively narrow, and the wide asphalt roads of later generations were renovated and expanded again and again.
Ji Yuanhai, Lu Heling, and Wang Zhuyun were in the crowd, and naturally they couldn't see that the crowd behind them was already standing on the road watching the excitement, just beckoning them not to squeeze forward.
The middle-aged man with glasses stood at the front of everyone and asked Ji Yuanhai, "What you just said still counts, right?" β
"Count." Ji Yuanhai said.
"I don't have to pay a deposit, do I?" The middle-aged man with glasses asked again.
Ji Yuanhai nodded: "Yes, you don't need to pay a deposit." β
The middle-aged man with glasses was suddenly overjoyed and nodded again and again.
After a few moments, several shouts came from outside the crowd, and a jeep passed byβsome of the people who had seen the flower show were leaving, and the road was a little unclear, so it was inevitable that two shouts would get people to leave.
After the jeep passed, the people who watched the excitement finally walked a little.
However, there are also some people who have just come to see the flower exhibition, and when they come here, they see that there is a lively scene to see, so they come over.
At this moment, an old voice came from outside the crowd: "Don't sell my pot!" Don't sell my pot! β
"Let it go, let it go!"
The crowd parted, and the old man who had just gone home to get the money came back out of breath, and when he looked down and saw that those orchids in Ji Yuanhai were still there, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"I got the money back! I just want that pot of Song Mei! β
The old man took out a thick stack of great unity and gave it to Ji Yuanhai.
After Ji Yuanhai counted clearly, he nodded: "Okay, old man, you can take it yourself." β
The old man picked up the pot of Song Mei he fancied, and looked at it carefully: "Oh, this baby ......"
Holding the flower pot, walk out of the crowd, step by step, for fear of bumping into it.
The middle-aged man with glasses and the onlookers could see clearly that he had given a full 600 yuan.
I was stunned for a while.
That's six hundred dollars! Just such a pot of orchids, as for it?
Especially the middle-aged man who wears glasses, only then did he understand why he couldn't buy it, it turned out to be such a high price!
Today, a pot of orchids was sold at this stall for 600 yuan.
Luckily, I don't have to pay a deposit, so I don't have to buy it.
Otherwise, there's really nothing else to do.
"Why is it so expensive!" Someone couldn't help but shout.
Ji Yuanhai was already familiar with flowers and plants, so he introduced: "Song Mei, a famous orchid, a seedling transported from the south is eighty yuan. β
"I cultivated such a good Songmei orchid, and I wasted several seedlings in the middle of the road, and I took care of it day and night for a year or two, which is more important than taking care of my own children."
"I can only say that you will never take one or two hundred yuan."
"Besides, this Longchangsu, the famous species praised by the boss himself, is also a selection of good seedlings......"
Ji Yuanhai introduced it, and everyone in the audience was speechless.
For each pot of flowers, two or three hundred flower seedlings alone are spent, which is really amazing.
The middle-aged man with glasses smiled bitterly: "I can't afford this flower." β
"No wonder it looks better than the inside of the flower exhibition hall, expensive and expensive!"
When he said this, he also admitted that the price of orchids here in Ji Yuanhai was not inflated, and he was no longer eager to buy a pot of orchids for one hundred and fifty yuan.
At this moment, there was a shouting sound outside.
"What are you doing?"
"Don't let people cross the street! Get out of the way, get out of the way! The car is coming! β
The crowd standing on the side of the road was dispersed by the shouting.
Two black sedans drove one after the other, and the people in the cars looked out of the car with some curiosity.
"What's going on out there?"
"Mr. Hua, probably to see the excitement, right?"
Because there were people on the side of the road, the car was very slow, Mr. Hua lowered the window and looked out, and saw that everyone was scattered, and there was actually an orchid stall around, and he was immediately interested.
"Stop."
Two black cars pulled over to the side of the road, one behind the other.
Mr. Hua, his secretary, bodyguards, and a staff member arranged by the government got out of the car together.
Passing by the stall of the middle-aged man surnamed Shan, the middle-aged man surnamed Shan hurriedly lifted the starling birdcage and leaned forward: "Look at the starling who can say auspicious words!" β
"Thunder Monkey!"
Starling shouted.
Mr. Hua was also stunned by this Cantonese sentence, stopped, and looked at the starling with interest.
"What else would you say besides 'hello'?"
"Ride Gahou!" The starling said again, "It's enough!" β
"Oh, hello everyone, lucky stars! Okay, good luck! Mr. Hua smiled, "The boss is good at training birds." β
The middle-aged man surnamed Shan was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly held the birdcage forward: "Look at ......"
Mr. Hua smiled: "Do you want me to buy it?" β
"Then forget it, I don't like to raise this kind of tongue-learning thing."
The middle-aged man surnamed Shan hurriedly said: "You can use it as a toy for the children at home." β
"The child is not sensible after all, if you raise the bird to death, it will be a pity, you should raise it yourself." After Mr. Hua finished speaking, he continued to walk forward and walked to the front of Ji Yuanhai's stall.
The middle-aged man surnamed Shan put down the starling in disappointment, and saw that Mr. Hua also went to the young man's stall next door, and he felt even more uncomfortable.
A few hundred pieces of orchids, just sold a pot, do you want to open again?
When he came to the front of the stall, he saw thirteen pots of elegant and spiritual orchids, and Mr. Hua's eyes lit up.
"No wonder so many people are watching!"
"This booth has real talents."
The arrival of their group also made people notice the difference, and even the people who watched the excitement took the initiative to get out of the way and not squeeze over, so as not to stain their brand-new clothes and shiny leather shoes.
After Mr. Hua sighed, he asked Ji Yuanhai: "Boss, how do you sell orchids?" β
"Want a pot?" Ji Yuanhai asked, "Song Mei or Long Changsu?" β
"Song Mei and Long Changsu are ready to ask for a pot." Mr. Hua smiled and said, "If you have the right price, I will buy all of these, and it will not be a problem!" β
Ji Yuanhai smiled directly, he can see a lot of this kind of talk, don't hold up hope, just listen to the kind words.
"Song Mei just sold it, six hundred yuan a pot, and Longchangsu is also six hundred yuan a pot, a total of one thousand two."
After listening to Ji Yuanhai's offer, Mr. Hua was surprised: "The prices in the mainland are very cheap, why do you open such a high price?" β
He is here to do business, not to be a Kaizi and spend money casually.
Some money doesn't have to be spent, he won't spend it indiscriminately.
The government escort beside Mr. Hua coughed lightly and said, "This little comrade, Mr. Hua is an important businessman that the leader wants to meet, so don't make an offer indiscriminately." β
"You can't afford to have a bad impact!"
Ji Yuanhai nodded, and repeated the statement that it is not easy to come and raise orchid seedlings in the north, and it is not easy to raise them.
"If you don't believe it, you can inquire about how much Song Mei and Long Changsu's orchid seedlings cost now."
The middle-aged man with glasses checked a sentence: "The seedlings of famous orchids are indeed at this price, after all, this is the north." β
Mr. Hua suddenly said: "Yes, yes...... This is the north, and orchids are not easy. β
"It's even more difficult to grow like this, after all, scarcity is expensive - no orchid in the exhibition hall can grow as well as this boss's orchid, which is even more difficult."
"That makes sense."
He looked at the orchids planted by the sea in the era again: "Looking at the flower exhibition today, the best flowers are outside the exhibition...... The best thing is that I can sell two pots of flowers that I really like by myself without owing too much favor. β
The government companion on the side hurriedly smiled: "Mr. Hua, you are joking, the flowers in the exhibition can be given to you for free, and nothing else is involved." β
Mr. Hua smiled: "Free things, there is always a time to pay." β
"When it comes to business, you can't hesitate when it's time to bargain."
The staff accompanying the government pulled the corners of their mouths in embarrassment, smiling quite uncomfortably.
But there is no way, who makes the businessmen really rich now? Leaders are waiting for the good news of the investment.
After Mr. Hua finished speaking, he asked the secretary to pay Ji Yuanhai.
It is impossible for the secretary to carry a bundle of ten yuan with him, take a bill to sign and seal the amount, and ask Ji Yuanhai to receive 1,200 yuan at that time.
The crowd of onlookers was once again speechless in shock.
That's 1,200 yuan!
The middle-aged man surnamed Shan is about to bite his tongue with envy, this Xiao Ji has already sold for 1,800 yuan - I may not be able to make so much in a year!
After the sale was completed, Mr. Hua's bodyguards carried two pots of orchids to the car.
Mr. Hua was not in a hurry to leave, and looked at the remaining eleven pots of orchids, the drier they became, the more beautiful they felt, with a charm that other flowers and plants did not have.
At this moment, a car stopped next to it, and a fat man with a fat head and big ears came down: "Boss Hua, Thunder Monkey Thunder Monkey!" β
"Hello, Boss Zhang." Mr. Hua nodded, and continued to look at the orchid.
The fat man obviously didn't understand flowers and plants, so he came up and chatted awkwardly: "The flower boss is really leisurely and elegant, these flowers are very good-looking." β
Mr. Hua was in no mood to look at the flowers, so he said politely: "It's good, let's talk again when we have time, Boss Zhang." β
"Oh, Boss Hua, you are busy first......" The fat man hurriedly smiled and nodded.
Mr. Hua and his entourage got in the car and left.
The fat man looked at Ji Yuanhai: "Boss Hua bought two pots of flowers from you?" β
"Yes." Ji Yuanhai replied.
"Bring me two pots too!" The fat man Boss Zhang said, "I don't believe it, the next time I meet Boss Hua, I can't speak!" β
"Let's talk about the price first, six hundred per pot." The Epoch Sea reminds.
"! Why don't you grab it? Fat Boss Zhang shouted.
Ji Yuanhai smiled: "I didn't take any money from you, did I?" Didn't force you to buy it, did it? β
"Mr. Hua buys flowers at this price, and you buy them at this price, if you don't buy them, forget it, but there's no need for this."
Fat Boss Zhang hesitated: I was reluctant to invest money, and I couldn't make money in exchange!
If you can really take this opportunity to get closer to Boss Hua, it is better than anything else!
"Who says I don't buy it?"
"I bought it!"
