Hello, 1983

On October 11, 1984, the Spring City Government passed the "Decision on Naming Clivia as the City Flower".

The original price limit order within 200 yuan was completely dead in name only, and overnight, the price of Clivia began to skyrocket.

On October 15, the municipal government proposed to develop the "windowsill economy", calling on every household to cultivate three to five pots of Clivia.

The price of Clivia is rising steadily.

The original flower seedling of a few dollars or ten dollars, like blowing soap bubbles, has risen to 100, 200, 300, and in less than half a month, it has exceeded 400.

In several major Clivia markets, Chaoyang Park, Chunchang Station Market, Hongqi Street, Wanbao Street and other places, you can hold a pot of Clivia and walk from one end of the market to the other. doubled.

Entering the beginning of November, in just one month, more than a dozen large companies operating Clivia appeared in Spring City, as well as forty or fifty flower and tree shops specializing in Clivia.

Thousands of people were scattered all over the place, collecting Clivia and transporting them to Spring City, all by plane.

The factories, mines, enterprises and citizens of Spring City also joined this wave. Some people became rich overnight, while others disappeared without a sound...

After Liu Qingshan and his party entered Spring City, they did not feel the fragrance of Clivia, but first felt the restlessness and madness emanating from the city.

Just passing by a flower and tree store, Liu Qingshan was about to go in and have a look, so he drove the car on the curb and stopped.

The dumb grandfather's senses are the most acute. He obviously smelled the abnormal atmosphere in the city, so he gestured with Liu Qingshan:

The bustling world is for profit, and the bustling world is for profit.

Liu Qingshan's eyes lit up, it turns out that Master is not a complete rude person, and he also knows such a scrumptious statement.

Of course, he could understand Master's intentions. He was worried about him and got lost here.

So he nodded towards the dumb grandfather and made a few gestures on his hand: "Master, don't worry, I am also someone who has passed the test of the big yellow croaker."

The dumb grandfather also smiled. That's right, the golden bars of the past never saw the apprentice's enthusiasm, let alone the "green gold bars" of Clivia.

So, a group of people entered this called "Fengguan Joint Venture Development Co., Ltd.".

the front hall,

About less than 200 square meters, there are several rows of flower stands, which are naturally full of Clivia.

There are at least dozens of people, with different accents, wandering in the store, and it is indeed a bustling posture.

As soon as you enter the flower stand, there are small flower seedlings with three or five leaves, and there are labels under each pot, indicating the variety and price.

Er Biaozi glanced at the nearest sign, then rubbed his eyes involuntarily, and then took a closer look, yes, the marked price was 450 yuan.

This price is basically equivalent to a young worker's salary for one year.

"Oh my god, this is too expensive!"

Zhang Chunyu's eyes widened, his mouth blurted out, and he shouted, causing the people in the room to roll their eyes at him one after another.

Zhang Chunyu, like his second brother, is also ingenious, so Liu Qingshan brought him, opened his eyes, and prepared to be trained as a backup talent in Jiapigou.

As a result, it was really eye-opening as soon as I arrived in Spring City.

"Waiter, I bought this pot of flower seedlings!"

A middle-aged man in a suit picked up the pot of flower seedlings with both hands, and then a young man who followed him took out a stack of Great Unity and began to count the money one by one.

"Sir, you are very discerning. This pot of monk can be sold for at least tens of thousands of yuan after two or three years."

The waiter was complimenting, and he was busy putting a packaging bag on the outside of the flower pot, so that it would not be too cold outside and frostbite the flower seedlings.

After the money and goods were cleared, the middle-aged man who bought the flower seedling squinted at Zhang Chunyu:

"Young man, I suggest you don't wander around here. The flowers in it are all tens of thousands of dollars. If you touch a pot of flowers, you won't be able to pay for it."

After speaking, he held the flower pot and walked out with his head held high.

Zhang Chunyu, who was despised by others, also looked angry and clenched his fists in his hands.

Er Biaozi also stared at each other angrily: "What's so amazing, Sanfeng has at least a few thousand of this kind of flower seedlings!"

He was also on his way here, and he listened to Liu Qingshan, but he didn't pay much attention to it at the time.

But when I saw the price of flower seedlings just now, I was scared.

How many thousands?

The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, but then he laughed loudly: "Young man, cows don't blow like this, do you think that the seedlings of Clivia are the eggplant seedlings and pepper seedlings in your private plot, hahaha!"

This guy's speech is very choking, Er Biaozi and Zhang Chunyu heard it, and looked at Liu Qingshan together, asking for advice with their eyes.

It is estimated that if Liu Qingshan nodded, the brothers would rush up without hesitation and beat the guy up.

But Liu Qingshan shook his head at them, then turned to the middle-aged man:

"My friend, your surname, if you want to buy flower seedlings, you can find me in Guangrong Village in Erdaohezi, where I have a greenhouse for cultivating Clivia."

Um?

Er Biaozi and Zhang Chunyu beside him were stunned: Sanfeng, you said the opposite, this kind of guy should not sell the flower seedlings to him, should he be greedy?

"Erdaohezi's flower shed is yours, haha, disrespectful, I was joking with these two little brothers just now, don't take it offense."

That middle-aged man changed his face faster than he turned a book. He was still contemptuous just now, but in a blink of an eye, he changed to a flattering smile.

These days, it has spread all over the Spring City. On the Erdaohezi side, there is a quite large flower shed with tens of thousands of Clivia.

Every day I don’t know how many people want to go there to buy flower seedlings, but they don’t sell a single one.

This middle-aged man is an Erdao dealer himself, and as soon as he hears Liu Qingshan say this, of course he wants to climb on his line.

Handing over the flower pot in his hand to his subordinates, the middle-aged man walked up to Liu Qingshan with a smile and stretched out his hands enthusiastically:

"Little brother, it's a pleasure to meet, my name is Wang Jiawang, please take care of me!"

Liu Qingshan also smiled and shook hands with him: "Doing business, making money with peace, who would have a hard time with money."

"Haha, this makes sense, little brother, it's almost noon, my brother invites you to go out to the restaurant." Wang Jiawang also issued an invitation very proudly.

You don’t need to eat, this guy looks low, and Liu Qingshan doesn’t mind giving him a lesson.

As for the flower seedlings sold to him, a greedy person like this will definitely not accept it as soon as it is ready. When the price of Clivia plummets in the summer of next year, there will be times when he will cry.

After chatting for a while, Wang Jiawang nodded and left, while Liu Qingshan and the others continued to stroll in the hall.

Going forward, the adult Clivia is placed on the flower stand. This season, the Clivia is also in bloom, so many of them have sprung out of the stiles, which are budding.

Looking at the price on the label, Er Biaozi and Zhang Chunyu are completely silent now.

The lowest price tag is a few thousand yuan, and tens of thousands of yuan are also sparse and common.

With such a high price, there are still an endless stream of people buying it.

"Sanfeng, when I was at home, I thought it was amazing to be a household of 10,000 yuan, but only now did I realize that a household of 10,000 yuan couldn't even afford a pot of flowers."

Zhang Chunyu whispered to Liu Qingshan, this time he was completely hit.

Er Biaozi also expressed his incomprehension: "Sanfeng, why do you think this flower is so valuable?"

Liu Qingshan said unhurriedly: "The current situation is an abnormal state, just like a game we played when we were young, playing drums to pass flowers, then the price of Clivia plummeted, I just don't know, in the end this flower will fall. in whose hands."

Those two are usually quite clever. Listening to Liu Qingshan's explanation, they both broke out in a cold sweat. They looked like they were holding a worthless flower pot in their arms at the end.

"Understood, the one surnamed Wang just now will definitely die miserably in the end."

Er Biaozi's IQ once again occupied the high ground.

"Sanfeng, what about us?" Zhang Chunyu also began to worry about the large number of Clivia in Liu Qingshan's hands.

"Of course, before the drums stop, all Clivia will be shot." Liu Qingshan patted his shoulder with a smile.

Just as he was talking, he heard a commotion at the door, and then saw a group of people in suits walking in.

"It seems to be a Hong Kong businessman, we can't understand what he says."

"It must be a Hong Kong businessman, and it is called Cantonese."

"Hey, the car you're sitting in is very high-end, the crown, it's still new!"

The original guests in the room were talking softly.

Even the manager of this flower and tree company was alerted and approached in person.

The manager was a middle-aged man in his late forties, with a face with Chinese characters and an extraordinary bearing. He greeted him neither humble nor arrogant: "Welcome to Fengguan Flower Company."

A Hong Kong businessman led by him greeted him in awkward Mandarin:

"Thunder monkey, you are Mr. Guo, my surname is Huang, we heard that you have a precious pot of phoenix crown Clivia here, and came here to open your eyes."

It was only then that Liu Qingshan understood that the name of the Phoenix Crown Flower Company had this origin.

Manager Guo couldn't refuse, so he led the crowd to the innermost place, where there was only a pot of Clivia on a separate flower stand.

It is tall and dignified, and the leaves are stretched and dark green, as if exuding a green luster.

The entire leaf shape is perfect, like a fairy in a flower with a phoenix crown, attracting everyone's attention.

A low voice of exclamation sounded from the crowd, and everyone was shocked by the beauty of this phoenix crown, and it definitely had the qualification to overwhelm the crowd.

"Mr. Guo, 50,000 yuan, let's buy it." The Hong Kong businessman was also a man of arrogance, with a lot of money.

But the manager Guo shook his head: "I'm sorry, sir, the phoenix crown is the treasure of our flower and tree company, and it is not for sale."

The Hong Kong businessmen heard that things not for sale are just bargaining chips, so they stretched out their hands and pointed out the window:

"Mr. Guo, seeing that the Crown sedan doesn't exist, I just proposed it, it costs a full 90,000 yuan, and I'll use it for your Clivia, okay?"

Hiss, there was a sound of air-conditioning in the room.
