Chapter 16: High-priced acquisitions
The couple snuggled up and talked, chatted, and became affectionately attached, and the day passed like this.
The next day, Ji Yuanhai watered the three pots of orchids and regained their vitality, and then told Lu Heling about his next plans.
Going to school, studying hard, and making good relationships are of course necessary.
However, during these times of going to college, it is not appropriate to simply watch the changes in the outside world and Ji Yuanhai do nothing and wait for graduation.
"Is it like Sister Liu, you come and go occasionally, and then let reliable people do business in the provincial capital?" Hearing what Ji Yuanhai was going to do, Lu Heling asked.
Ji Yuanhai nodded: "I do have this idea. ”
Doing business in provincial cities is far more complicated than the situation in county seats.
Ji Yuanhai's first reaction was the same as Lu Heling's thoughts, and he moved the model of "someone takes care of the business, and he occasionally comes to see and grasp the main income and expenditure and the growth of flowers and plants" to the provincial capital of Bird and Flower Street.
However, he also has to consider many factors, such as the factors of the place of Bird and Flower Street, the factors of reliable candidates, and even the detailed and specific business scope.
"It's a pity...... Here in the provincial capital, we don't have anyone who is really reliable and available. ”
Lu Heling said.
From the perspective of everyone in the provincial capital who knew the couple, of course, college classmates were not considered, everyone had to study, and the friendship was far from that level.
Wang Zhuyun and Huo Lianshi are still relatively credible, but they also have studies, and they will have to be assigned jobs in the future, and it is also impossible to go into business.
In addition, there is no one else, and I can't expect Pingshui to meet, and Brother Niu, Sister Ma and others who have said hello have more contacts and friendships. Not to mention Lu Heling's uncle's family......
"The lack of people will be talked about later." Ji Yuanhai said, "Yuan Zhonghua at the corner of Bird and Flower Street is a very principled and interesting person, I am going to talk to him today and see the situation." ”
Lu Heling nodded: "Let's go together." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a knock at the door.
Ji Yuanhai and Lu Heling were stunned: Who knocked on the door?
Is there still trouble buying this house?
"Who's knocking?" Ji Yuanhai asked.
"It's me! Wang Zhuyun! Wang Zhuyun's voice came from the door, "I didn't look for Lu Heling, so I came here to find you to play, you two are really here!" ”
Ji Yuanhai and Lu Heling glanced at each other, and they both felt funny.
Opening the courtyard door, Wang Zhuyun came in with food, drink and snacks: "Heling, I haven't seen you in January, don't you think I have any?" ”
"Thought." Lu Heling smiled and took the thing in her hand.
"Military training has tanned you a bit, Heling." Wang Zhuyun said.
Lu Heling was suddenly a little nervous, and looked in the mirror: "I didn't see it?" Is it really dark? Is it much darker? ”
Ji Yuanhai said on the side: "You heard her nonsense, and I didn't see it." ”
Wang Zhuyun snorted: "What can you see?" You don't talk to each other every day, and you run to this small courtyard when you have a little time. Of course, you can't see anything! ”
Lu Heling smiled: "What's the matter with the two of you? How do you raise the bar when you meet? ”
Wang Zhuyun didn't talk to Ji Yuanhai at this time, and asked Lu Heling how she was studying now, and if she was used to it.
Lu Heling told her that the students of the provincial university have very few things, except for studying and reading every day, they are all very hard and serious anyway.
Wang Zhuyun nodded: "Actually, our provincial university is similar, but there is indeed a group of people in the class who have no ambition, so they concentrate on waiting for graduation and assignment work, and the rest of the time they are playing chess, table tennis, and reading idle books." ”
"Take you, for example." Ji Yuanhai said.
Wang Zhuyun suddenly became angry: "Heling, look! It's not like I'm looking for trouble this time, is it? He laughed at me! ”
Lu Heling had no choice but to glance at Ji Yuanhai and signal him not to make trouble.
Ji Yuanhai smiled and talked about military training.
Talking about the end of military training, some girls cried with the instructors, and even wanted to talk to someone, Wang Zhuyun said that the provincial university had also heard of it, but I don't know what such a person with too much emotion thinks......
"By the way, how is that Huo Lianshi now?" Wang Zhuyun said indignantly, "Last time he spoke to me vigilantly and had a lukewarm attitude, I didn't see him as a good person. ”
Ji Yuanhai and Lu Heling both laughed.
Huo Lianshi regarded Wang Zhuyun as a stranger who had nothing to do with her, but she was so angry.
Wang Zhuyun asked a few questions, and Lu Heling said that Huo Lianshi and the object were in conflict, and immediately made Wang Zhuyun happy, pure schadenfreude.
"Where are you going today?" After Wang Zhuyun was happy, he was satisfied, so he put Huo Lianshi's matter behind his mind and asked again.
Ji Yuanhai and Lu Heling didn't hide it from her, and directly told her to go to the outlet at the corner of Bird and Flower Street to find Yuan Zhonghua.
"Oh, what are you looking for him for? What do you want to consult him? ”
"Well, he did have something to ask him." Ji Yuanhai said, "He knows a lot, and he is not bad." ”
"Okay, let's go together, and then walk around Bird and Flower Street and see what fun things are there!" Wang Zhuyun was full of interest.
Ji Yuanhai nodded: "Okay." ”
took out the pig riding puppet pottery statue given by Hu Hongwei from the side, and Ji Yuanhai was going to bring it over to show people whether it was worth it or not.
This small courtyard is not far from Flower and Bird Street, and the three of them walked and talked for about ten minutes, and then they saw Yuan Zhonghua's consignment shop.
Yuan Zhonghua was grabbing an old woman's hand and showing her palmistry.
Seeing that Ji Yuanhai and the three of them were coming, Yuan Zhonghua nodded and smiled slightly, and continued to show the old woman palmistry.
"Auntie, don't be afraid......"
The old woman looked worried and scared: "People say that my thread is short-lived, can I not be afraid?" ”
"Listen to me, this line looks short, but it's actually a catastrophe." Yuan Zhonghua is serious, "It is the lord with a short life, but it is the lord who has a short life before the age of thirty, and before the age of thirty, if the short life is gone, it is a catastrophe." ”
"What do you mean by robbery?" The old woman asked.
"You don't know...... Auntie, let me tell you, Journey to the West is nine hundred and eighty-one difficulties, every difficulty is a catastrophe, and only after the tribulation can we learn from the experience; One hundred and eight heroes in the Water Margin, all of them are robbed, and if they can't survive the catastrophe, they will die on the expedition, and if they pass the catastrophe, they will survive. Yuan Zhonghua explained, "Do you understand?" ”
"Oh, when Sun Monkey encounters a monster, it's a robbery? My short-lived line, when I reach the age of thirty, it's like meeting a monster, and it's also a disaster? The old woman suddenly realized.
"Yes, yes, think about it, before you were thirty years old, did you encounter a major event, that incident was particularly dangerous, as if it could almost kill you?" Yuan Zhonghua asked.
The old woman slowly recalled: "It seems that there is such a thing, I was fifteen or sixteen years old, and a cannonball fell from the sky and killed my cow...... I was right next to the cow, and the earth from the shells covered me and it was as if I had almost buried me alive......"
"It's just almost, it's not killed by the explosion, it's buried alive, and it won't survive."
Yuan Zhonghua clapped his hands: "Yes, that's it!" ”
"You are blessed with a great life, and you have given that robbery! From now on, this short lifeline is not a short lifeline for you! ”
"You will live a long life, and the good days will be early."
The old woman smiled: "Zhonghua, what you said is true?" ”
"Of course, you can go home and see your children and grandchildren full of people, absolutely blessed as the East China Sea and Shoubi Nanshan!" Yuan Zhonghua said with a smile.
The old woman was overjoyed, took out a few cents and handed it to him, walking like a fly.
………………………………
After the old woman left, Wang Zhuyun said strangely: "Brother Yuan, how do you know that she broke a catastrophe before she was thirty years old?" ”
Yuan Zhonghua smiled mysteriously without saying a word.
Wang Zhuyun suddenly felt that he seemed to be really a little unfathomable.
Lu Heling also felt strange: Did Yuan Zhonghua ever inquire about the old woman's past just now? Otherwise, how can it be said so accurately?
Ji Yuanhai saw that the two of them looked curious and incomprehensible, and he was also a little funny - let's explain it to them when I go back.
The so-called fortune-telling hexagrams, most of which are summarized psychological tactics, seem to be extremely accurate in what they say, but in fact they have been expected for a long time, and they are 100% true.
"Brother Yuan, I haven't seen you for a month, and business is booming."
"It's a bad time." Yuan Zhonghua said, "Around the Chinese New Year, there were many people who asked about things at that time. I've done a lot of work to come up with names, ask questions, and so on. ”
"Do you mean that you say that to today?" Ji Yuanhai said with a smile,
Yuan Zhonghua laughed: "Xiao Ji, you are very interesting." ”
"I'm obviously helping her read palmistry, where is the good word?"
"Brother Yuan, you obviously said good things to help her feel relieved, where is the palmistry?" Ji Yuanhai asked rhetorically.
Yuan Zhonghua just laughed.
Lu Heling and Wang Zhuyun looked strange.
What Ji Yuanhai means by this is that Yuan Zhonghua actually didn't look at palmistry, but just said good things? But Yuan Zhonghua's palmistry just now was indeed very accurate...... For example, the catastrophe before the age of thirty is quite accurate.
"Xiao Ji came to me, it looks like he has something to ask?" Yuan Zhonghua asked with a smile.
Ji Yuanhai nodded.
Yuan Zhonghua stretched out a finger to Ji Yuanhai: "Don't worry, I'll ask you to choose first today." ”
"Ask me about things, I'll answer whatever you ask, Wumao."
"Let me answer your question, and tell you something else by the way, piece."
Ji Yuanhai took out a piece of money and handed it to Yuan Zhonghua: "Brother Yuan said this, is there anything important to tell me?" ”
Yuan Zhonghua smiled: "Okay, Xiao Ji, you are so happy, I won't hide anything from you." ”
"I'll tell you something first."
"Someone found Lao Wang and asked where he bought his orchids, and asked a young man to buy orchids."
Lu Heling and Wang Zhuyun were all taken aback and looked at Ji Yuanhai.
This is clearly looking for the Era Sea.
Ji Yuanhai smiled slightly: "A good thing? ”
"Yes, that's a good thing." Yuan Zhonghua said, "The person who looked for Lao Wang said that as long as Lao Wang can still find the young man who bought orchids, he will give Lao Wang 500 yuan!" ”
"If Lao Wang can buy that young man's remaining Longchang Su orchids, each pot will be purchased for a thousand yuan."
Hearing this, Wang Zhuyun and Lu Heling were a little nervous, and they always felt that something was wrong with someone buying flowers like this.
Ji Yuanhai had already guessed that there were already people who wanted to buy orchids and show their faces in front of the old man.
Only such a person will be so sparingly expensive.
As for why he didn't think about whether someone might please the flower boss, Ji Yuanhai was also clear. The flower boss is a relatively pure businessman, and buying flowers is just a matter of doing it casually, and others basically can't impress him when they buy flowers.
Moreover, he didn't like Longchang orchids, but he felt that the orchids were not easy to plant, and they were in exceptionally good condition, and they had a lot of vitality, so he bought them.
I prefer Longchang orchids, so the one who recalls the past is the old man who is not low in status and sits in a car.
"Xiao Ji, how do you feel about this news?" Yuan Zhonghua asked.
Ji Yuanhai smiled and nodded: "Brother Yuan, this news is good, just this news, one dollar is worth it." ”
Yuan Zhonghua smiled and nodded.
For a smart and interesting guest like Ji Yuanhai, he also felt quite happy to get along with.
"What do you think I should do, Brother Yuan." Ji Yuanhai asked again
"It's still within the scope of a dollar problem."
Yuan Zhonghua continued to open his mouth: "First, you find Lao Wang, and the two of you will discuss it and make a fortune together." ”
"Second, you go to that person yourself, and you make a fortune yourself."
"Third, you entrust me to bring orchids, and I will act as an intermediary, without revealing your name, and I will sell them to you."
After he finished saying the three ideas, Ji Yuanhai immediately smiled and said, "Brother Yuan, I'm worried that I can't find someone else to help, and I can't rest assured that anyone else." ”
"It's great that you're willing to help."
"Just say, I brought the orchid to you, how should I calculate the money?"
Yuan Zhonghua smiled and said: "Okay, you say a price, I'll see if I can sell it at this price." ”
"If I can sell it at the price you say, I'll charge you five dollars."
"If I can sell it higher, I'll charge you a piece for every 100 yuan of the extra price."
After hearing this, Ji Yuanhai once again sighed that Yuan Zhonghua was really reliable and affordable.
If Ji Yuanhai goes to Lao Wang to cooperate, how can he give Lao Wang one-third or one-fifth of the benefits at that time, otherwise the whole thing will not be justified.
And Yuan Zhonghua here, at most, there will not be too many.
"Brother Yuan, your proposal is okay, I am willing to accept it." Ji Yuanhai said, "Brother Yuan, I'll tell you a price." ”
"Two thousand dollars."
Hearing this price, Lu Heling and Wang Zhuyun were shocked.
Even Yuan Zhonghua couldn't help but be shocked: "Xiao Ji - are you sure that you can really sell it at this price?" ”
Ji Yuanhai explained: "Brother Yuan, do you think I look like the kind of person who doesn't know what to do and blindly makes a bid? ”
"This price is really not to embarrass you, but to remind you."
"We don't have to be stingy with what others want now."
Yuan Zhonghua thought quietly, and then gradually looked at Ji Yuanhai.
The two looked at each other and didn't say anything.
"It seems that I am also in danger this time." Yuan Zhonghua said.
"Well, you might as well price it up." Ji Yuanhai said, "As long as it can reach two thousand yuan, Brother Yuan, you will take fifty yuan." ”
Yuan Zhonghua shook his head: "Fifty yuan is too much...... I'll just need ten dollars. ”
"Other conditions don't have to be changed...... Anyway, I am an intermediary for this pot of flowers, so I just collect money to sell the flowers, and I don't say anything else. ”
Ji Yuanhai reached out and shook his hand.
"Brother Yuan, when it gets dark, I'll send you flowers."
"Okay." Yuan Zhonghua agreed.
After deciding on this matter, Ji Yuanhai thought of the pig-riding puppet he brought with him when he came, and showed it to Yuan Zhonghua: "Brother Yuan, do you know this?" ”
Yuan Zhonghua looked at it for a while, and returned the puppet to Ji Yuanhai: "This thing is from the Han Dynasty, it can be worth about two or three hundred yuan, you have to go into the Flower and Bird Street, and I will take it for you within ten yuan; That's what they do. ”
He can really identify it, and he can also tell the approximate price, and there are a little too many kinds of goods in his stomach.
"Thank you, Brother Yuan." Ji Yuanhai said.
"By the way, when you enter Bird and Flower Street in the future, you have to keep it secret, you can't say that I helped you identify." Yuan Zhonghua said in a low voice again.
Ji Yuanhai Daqi: "How do you say this?" ”
"There are people in this street who eat by this trade." Yuan Zhonghua said, "I'll help you identify this matter, which can be regarded as smashing their jobs." ”
"After all, they are all old neighbors for many years, and after they are exposed, their faces will not look good."
Ji Yuan Haixin said: If you help me sell flowers, will there be fewer flowers and plants on this street? Isn't this a smashing of jobs?
Yuan Zhonghua saw what Ji Yuanhai was probably thinking, smiled and said: "On Bird and Flower Street, whoever gets some things in his hands is who's own, and you can't be pedantic with these people." ”
"Besides, your price can only be regarded as accidental, and you can't steal their business, you can't smash your job, and others can't learn it."
The truth of Yuan Zhonghua and Bird Street is a bit crooked, but for Ji Yuanhai, it is just right.
Ji Yuanhai sighed again: "Brother Yuan, that dollar is really worth the money." ”
"Now I want to ask some other questions, and give another dollar, is that enough?"
"Anything else?"
Yuan Zhonghua was deeply surprised: "Xiao Ji, you really have a lot of business!" ”
Stretch out your hand and gesture, a dollar.
Ji Yuanhai handed him a dollar: "Brother Yuan, I want to ask, is it easy to open a shop on Bird and Flower Street?" ”
"It's not easy!" Yuan Zhonghua's tone was suddenly a little bad, "I sold flowers here, and you opened a flower shop over there, and you roasted me on the stove?" The flower and herb dealers on Flower and Bird Street must not be red-eyed with me and treat me as a traitor? ”
"To open a store, you have to sell flowers and plants, and you will come back in three months."
"Otherwise, I won't be able to save my face here."
Obviously, Yuan Zhonghua is very clear: it is nothing to sell occasional high-priced flowers and plants.
But if Ji Yuanhai wants to open a store while buying high-priced flowers and plants, then the nature will change greatly.
Yuan Zhonghua can't take care of his face, and his reputation after many years of business is bad, no wonder Yuan Zhonghua, who has been smiling, can't laugh, and his tone has become bad.
It always feels a little awkward, and after it was released, a thousand words of content were revised.
