Three pots of Songmei orchids, three pots of Longchangsu, three pots of Junzi orchids, and nine pots of flowers are placed on display, only for exhibition, and then not for sale.

Although there are many people who come to see the flowers, there are not many who stay in front of the nine pots of flowers and refuse to leave.

Some people have seen Ji Yuanhai on Bird and Flower Street, and they greeted "Boss Xiao Ji" in their mouths, and Ji Yuanhai also agreed.

Because after all, there are many people, and Lu Chenglin has offered a price before, so it is not good to greet Ji Yuanhai and Lu Heling, so he just left silently.

Before you know it, the morning has passed.

At lunchtime, almost no one comes to see the flower show.

Ji Yuanhai, Lu Heling, and Wang Zhuyun all breathed a sigh of relief.

The busiest time has finally passed, and the afternoon is just a simple exhibition, and there should be nothing to do.

The three of them chatted over lunch.

Speaking of the 300,000 promised by Boss Hua, Lu Heling felt a little unstable in her heart.

That's 300,000 yuan...... All of Ji Yuanhai's current assets add up to less than 300,000.

Wang Zhuyun even expressed his inner worries: "Yuan Hai, you say, is that flower boss reliable or not?" Will it be a fool when the time comes? ”

Ji Yuanhai smiled: "He won't cheat." ”

"This flower boss is very rich, and 300,000 yuan is just a small amount of money for him; Possessing the world's most supreme lotus flower thousands of years ago, this sense of accomplishment and the fame it brings is absolutely rare. ”

"Besides, we and the second uncle both know what's going on, and he won't ruin his reputation because of 300,000."

"Besides, if he is not satisfied with the price, I didn't give him the opportunity to adjust the price before; At that time, as long as he followed my words and said that he was here to support the party, then there was no need to spend money to buy lotus flowers - he maintained the price of 300,000 yuan and insisted on buying it, which is what he really wanted. ”

Wang Zhuyun said happily: "It's okay now!" ”

"Yuan Hai, you have these 300,000 yuan, you don't have to worry about using money for the rest of your life!"

Ji Yuanhai smiled and said in his heart: What is the use of 300,000 yuan?

Now 300,000, Ji Yuanhai can buy twenty or thirty shops or more than fifty houses in the provincial capital.

If it has been kept in the bank, after 30 years, 300,000 yuan will only be the price of the bathroom of a house in the provincial capital, and it will be common for a house in the provincial capital to be worth 2 million at that time.

You still have to invest and turn your money into more money or change it into a store of value in a variety of ways.

Fortunately, Ji Yuanhai has the ability to make more money and invest in value-preserving items more accurately, which allows him not to be anxious and move forward with a relatively clear goal.

"Yuan Hai, in the backyard of our shop, there are still ten ancient lotus flowers." Lu Heling said, "Next, at what price are we going to sell out?" ”

Ji Yuanhai shook his head slightly: "It's not for sale." ”

Wang Zhuyun and Lu Heling were very surprised: Not for sale?

This is a 150,000-year-old ancient lotus, why don't you sell it?

Even if it is sold later, the price is not so high, and each plant is worth 180,000 yuan, which is still a wealth that ordinary people cannot seek in their lives; If you sell them all, you won't have to say how much your wealth will increase.

Ji Yuanhai saw them so surprised, and knew that they didn't understand.

"Today's price of 300,000 is actually a little inflated."

"Before that island native Panasonic appeared, my second uncle and I both felt that 20,000 yuan should be the limit, and shouting out 50,000 yuan would simply seem false."

"Panasonic, an island man, shouted the price, and the flower boss, who didn't care about this little money, came out and shouted the price of 300,000 yuan and two pots of lotus flowers; Without these two people, we have a total of twelve ancient lotus plants, and each pot may be sold for less than 20,000 or 20,000 yuan, and it will not add up to 240,000 yuan. ”

"This is a world away from 300,000 taels."

"Now we have sold two pots of ancient lotus flowers for 300,000 yuan; Rare is expensive, so that this price can be achieved, and then we sold ten pots of ancient lotus, which fell the rarity and price of ancient lotus, in fact, it must have made the flower boss unhappy. He spent a lot of money to buy two pots of lotus flowers, and I still have ten pots in my hand, is that like a word? ”

When Ji Yuanhai said this, Wang Zhuyun and Lu Heling both understood.

"Then don't buy it, you can make a lot of money anyway." Lu Heling said.

Ji Yuanhai nodded, and said, "In addition, there are other reasons, which are also the reason why the ancient lotus is not suitable for resale. ”

"If I sell one or two more pots, it will definitely fall into the hands of Panasonic, an island countryman."

"Personally, I am absolutely unwilling to let my country's ancient lotus flower enter the hands of the people of the island country, and from my hands, it will flow into the island country, an ancient lotus flower that has become extinct. How should I explain this? ”

"Don't talk about the far, just talk about the near, Boss Hua and the island people are obviously the kind of people who harbor hatred; I just earned 300,000 yuan from Boss Hua, and when I turned around, because of a small favor, I sold the ancient lotus flower to Boss Hua's enemy, the enemy who hurt the country decades ago, then I became a villain who only knew how to make money in the eyes of Boss Hua. ”

"Another point, the ancient lotus that has never been seen before, the people of the Botanical Institute will definitely hear the news and prepare to study it."

When Ji Yuanhai said this, he smiled at Lu Heling and Wang Zhuyun: "Can I tell them, how did I grow the ancient lotus?" ”

Lu Heling suddenly realized: Yes, this must not be said, and there is no way to communicate.

Therefore, in a short period of time, it was not suitable for the Era Sea to reveal the remaining ancient lotus.

When Wang Zhuyun heard this, he was also thoughtful, looking at Ji Yuanhai and Lu Heling's expressions, he felt a heavy sense of responsibility in his heart.

Wonhae's secret, no one else knows, only I know.

So I'm going to help him keep this secret.

Ji Yuanhai continued: "I can only tell them that it was a pure fluke to grow the ancient lotus, and the two pots of ancient lotus flowers were all sold to the flower boss, and there are only two unfinished lotus seeds left in my hand, which can be handed over to the Botanical Research Institute for research." ”

"I don't know anything else, and I can't help it."

Speaking of this, Ji Yuanhai smiled again.

If the people from the Institute of Botany want to study the ancient lotus, they should go to the flower boss to deal around, anyway, Ji Yuanhai still has to study, and he has to be busy, and it is not suitable to spend time with them on the ancient lotus.

It is not suitable to communicate with them, how to plant the ancient lotus flower alive.

…………………………………………

In the afternoon, there were a lot fewer tourists who came to see the flower show.

The nine pots of flowers in the Epoch Sea Exhibition, in terms of quality, still make many people stop to watch, but because this is a requirement of the exhibition, it is not sold to the public; In addition, the number is indeed relatively small, Ji Yuanhai told those who want to buy flowers and plants to go to Fangcao Xuan tomorrow to buy them, and the people who are excited will gradually leave.

Ji Yuanhai, Lu Heling, and Wang Zhuyun are also a lot more leisurely.

By five o'clock in the afternoon, there were not many people left, Huo Lianshi and Xiao Hongyi came to pick up Ji Yuanhai and the flowers and plants to go back.

Seeing that only nine pots of flowers and plants were sold, Huo Lianshi and Xiao Hongyi were also very happy.

Ji Yuanhai greeted Brother Niu, ended the exhibition, and the group was about to leave with nine pots of flowers.

"Hey, Boss Xiaoji! Don't go yet! ”

At one of the booths, people who like flowers and plants shouted.

Ji Yuanhai stopped: "Comrade, do you have something?" ”

"The exhibition is over, do you have to take this flower back? Don't take it home with you, just sell me a pot! The man spoke.

Ji Yuanhai was stunned for a moment: "It's okay, but I don't know how to pay...... My pots of flowers aren't cheap. ”

"Don't worry, I'm going to buy the money today!"

The man smiled and asked the price, and then he couldn't laugh anymore - Song Mei is six hundred, Long Changsu is six hundred, and Junzilan is relatively cheap, but it is also eighty yuan.

He prepared 200 yuan, but he could only buy Junzilan.

If you want to buy other flowers, you have to find someone to borrow money, and it seems that it does feel that the price is too expensive, and you can only buy Junzi Orchid in the end......

This person made a start, and the other two pots of Junzi Orchid were also bought by others.

As for the orchid that costs 600 yuan a pot, ordinary people don't really like it, and they really can't make up their minds to spend so much money to buy such a pot of precious orchids that can't be eaten or drunk.

"Sold again!" Huo Lianshi said happily, "Yuan Hai, your business is really good!" ”

Ji Yuanhai smiled and said, "Today is considered to have earned some money in hand, let's set up a table when we go back and celebrate well." ”

A group of five people returned to Fangcao Xuan with six pots of flowers, and also called Yuan Zhonghua to eat together.

As soon as the meal was arranged, Lu Chenglin arrived at the door, and when he saw so many people in the house, he called Ji Yuanhai out to talk.

"The old man said, let me ask you, what about the rest of the ancient lotus." Lu Chenglin said.

Ji Yuanhai replied: "I understand what Grandpa means, I won't sell the ancient lotus anymore, after all, rare things are expensive; If you sell the ancient lotus again, Boss Hua will definitely feel uncomfortable. ”

After hearing this, Lu Chenglin nodded: "Yuan Hai, you are steady, and you do things properly." No wonder the old man often told me that our family will have to count on you to pull it in the future. ”

Ji Yuanhai said: "Grandpa's words are too foreign, they are all a family, how can there be any pull?" In the future, I will definitely help my family live a good life. ”

Lu Chenglin nodded with great satisfaction, and said, "Yuan Hai, the old man doesn't want you to sell the ancient lotus, not only for these reasons, but also for other reasons. ”

"Because today the island people also want to buy the ancient lotus, the old man is particularly disgusted by this matter, and feels that if you sell the ancient lotus, you will definitely be managed by the island people; In the past, the island people were rampant and domineering in our provincial city, robbed a lot of good things, and killed many people. ”

"Of course, the old man didn't force you, he specially told me before I came - now the younger generation may not know much about the islanders, and they don't have the same hatred as him."

"If you make up your mind to sell the remaining ancient lotus, or even sell it to the island nation, we will never stop it, after all, the thoughts of the previous generation can't control the next generation, this is normal."

Ji Yuanhai laughed when he heard this: "Second uncle, this is a coincidence. ”

"I don't happen to have any affection for the island nation, and I don't want to sell them anything."

Lu Chenglin immediately laughed when he heard this: "When I go back and tell the old man, the old man will definitely be very happy!" You two have thought of it together! ”

Ji Yuanhai nodded: "Second uncle, don't go back yet, let's eat together before leaving." ”

"I won't eat the meal......" Lu Chenglin said and walked out, whispering by the way, "The bottom of the ancient lotus, how many people know, you have to know in your heart, you can't spread this matter." ”

"Otherwise, you're in a lot of trouble."

Ji Yuanhai nodded: "Yes, second uncle, I know." ”

After seeing Lu Chenglin drive away, Ji Yuanhai returned to Fangcao Xuan, and a table of six people was seated.

After eating and drinking, Ji Yuanhai talked about the fact that the two pots of ancient lotus flowers he brought out today had been sold.

Yuan Zhonghua smiled: "Xiao Ji, this can be regarded as a fortune, right?" Two pots of ancient lotus flowers, can you change a shop? ”

Ji Yuanhai smiled and said, "More than that." ”

"That's a fortune!" Yuan Zhonghua smiled, "I have to congratulate you and toast you with a glass of wine!" ”

Ji Yuanhai said with a smile: "I still have to respect you for this wine, without your help, how can I have a smooth sail today?" ”

After being polite and toasting each other, Ji Yuanhai said: "However, this matter is still a bit tail, I have to tell you." ”

The flower boss bought two pots of ancient lotus flowers at a high price, and the situation that things are scarce and expensive; also talked about the fact that the island people want to buy ancient lotus.

Xiao Hongyi suddenly slapped the table and scolded: "What kind of dog are they, they still want to buy our ancient lotus!" ”

Yuan Zhonghua also sneered: "These dogs! In the past, it was to dump the good things of our country into their country! ”

"Xiao Ji, aren't you going to sell them the Ancient Lotus?"

Ji Yuanhai said: "Of course not. ”

"Except for the two pots of ancient lotus flowers sold to the flower boss, I won't sell any of the remaining ancient lotus!"

"Good! Yuan Hai, I toast you! Xiao Hongyi stood up and toasted Ji Yuanhai, "You are such a good man!" ”

Yuan Zhonghua also nodded, and then stood up after serving the wine: "Yes, Xiao Ji is a hero when he does this!" ”

"Xiao Ji, I also toast you!"

After Ji Yuanhai drank wine with them, he said: "Anyway, after the lotus flowering period in the past few days, after the lotus flower withers, they can't tell if this is an ancient lotus or not. ”

"So I'm not afraid that they will find out that I still have an ancient lotus here."

"But—"

Yuan Zhonghua immediately understood: "But our people must be strict in their mouths, otherwise outsiders will know that Xiao Ji still has an ancient lotus here, and it will be a big trouble." ”

"Xiao Ji still has news of the ancient lotus here, only those of us know about it, as long as we don't say it, this matter can be kept secret."

Xiao Hongyi was already angry, and at this time he drank some wine, and when he heard this, he immediately stood up and glared at him and said: "Yuan Hai, don't worry about this matter, if any of these people present dare to tell this matter, my aunt and grandmother will pull him out with three knives and six holes!" ”

Ji Yuanhai laughed: "Sister Red, sit down first." ”

"Let's all know about this in our hearts."

"Besides, who can I trust here? If I can't trust you, I won't let you come to see the ancient lotus, right? ”

Xiao Hongyi, Huo Lianshi, and Yuan Zhonghua all nodded.

Anyway, I kept this matter in my heart and never talked about it to outsiders.

That night, all the ancient lotus petals fell, and the appearance was not much different from that of ordinary lotus flowers.

Anyway, it wasn't too difficult for the Era Sea to want them to bloom, so they simply dropped all the flowers now.

There are even ripe lotus seeds to eat, which are sweet, crisp and delicious in the mouth.

Early the next morning, Ji Yuanhai opened the door of Fangcao Xuan, and there was a group of people waiting in line to buy flowers.

At yesterday's flower exhibition, Fangcao Xuan, whose reputation skyrocketed again, suddenly resumed queuing up to buy flowers.

Ji Yuanhai also expected this, and opened the door directly.

Half a day later, the flowers and plants in the store are almost sold, and those who are left are those who need to be planted today, and the cuttings are divided into pots at night, and the people queuing up to buy flowers have not dispersed.

Ji Yuanhai stood at the door and apologized to everyone: "I'm sorry, everyone, the scale of the small shop is not large, and the flowers and herbs are specially cultivated boutiques, and the number is not large. ”

"Today's flowers and plants can only be sold here, please come back tomorrow, I have to buy today!"

People in line inevitably talked about it and were disappointed.

Ji Yuanhai apologized again, and everyone left one after another to go to the other shops on Flower and Bird Street.

Some people even came here and bought something after visiting other stores.

For a while, the attitude of the owners of other shops on Bird and Flower Street quickly changed.

Today, when they queued up to buy flowers and plants at the entrance of Fangcao Xuan, their hearts were as sour as if the vinegar jar was broken - I'm not angry, I'm not angry, his business is going to go out of business soon.

Now the flowers and plants in Fangcao Xuan are almost sold, and the traffic brought by them is divided into some profits, which suddenly makes them feel comfortable.

Boss Xiao Ji, who is honest and honest, is the number one good person in our Flower and Bird Street.

Whoever can't get along with Boss Xiao Ji can't get along with us!

………………………………………………

After lunch, there was nothing to do, and Ji Yuanhai was going to go to Boss Hua and cash out the 300,000 yuan.

Before he could go out, several people appeared at the door of Fangcao Xuan.

The leader bowed deeply ninety degrees to the sea of Ji Yuanhai.

Behind him is Mr. Matsushita, whom he saw yesterday.

There was also a translator, and two other retinues.

The translator opened his mouth and said to Ji Yuanhai: "Boss Xiaoji, Mr. Matsushita said that he was really embarrassed to come and disturb suddenly, it was too presumptuous. ”

Ji Yuanhai glanced at it and saw that Mr. Matsushita was smiling and nodding, showing his kindness.

So, let his subordinates step forward and show me a "craftsman spirit"?

You yourself said that you were embarrassed, with a smile on your face, and you didn't have the slightest "embarrassment", but let your subordinates come forward to be dogs.

It's as if someone made a mistake......

It's really worthy of being an island country, this tastes right.
