Chapter 73 Blowing, keep blowing
The stall owner himself seemed to be afraid of trouble, and quickly explained that it was cultivated by him, not a ghost orchid collected in the wild, and you could buy it with confidence.
He is an expert in biological cultivation. He was once a student at Tsinghua University. He later studied abroad at public expense, and then he didn't want to go back.
There are many classmates like him, so he doesn't feel any guilt. He feels that there is no platform for him to display his talents when he returns to China, there is no fair environment, etc., so he might as well hang out abroad.
However, he did not do well abroad either.
Now they are reduced to selling flowers and trees to make ends meet.
Fortunately, he also has some skills, specializing in cultivating some relatively rare species, and has achieved certain results. For example, the ghost orchid in front of him is one of his masterpieces.
Although cultivating this ghost orchid was somewhat accidental, it was at least a success.
Recently, his life has been a little tight, so he had to sell part of his "results" in exchange for some living expenses.
"You're lying! If you succeed in cultivating ghost orchids, why would you still set up a stall here?" Qiao Yufan didn't believe it.
It's really hard to believe.
Successfully cultivating ghost orchids, with such achievements, should be regarded as honored guests by some universities or institutions, right? Are you still showing off like this?
The man smiled bitterly: "I really won't lie to you."
For a moment, he couldn't explain it himself.
Should we tell these people that the United States is not a pure land and cannot provide a fair employment and scientific research environment? This road was his own choice, and he had to go on it even if he cried.
Nowadays, the United States is very wary of Chinese Americans. Some companies, institutions, etc. have made it clear that they do not want Chinese Americans and would rather have Asan Americans.
Just like him, he has applied for jobs many times, but no one wants him, no matter how good your grades are or what scientific research achievements you have made.
In fact, some classmates in China invited him back. But because of his face, he didn't go back. He couldn't behave like a person. How could he have the nerve to go back?
"If you cultivated this, why didn't you take it to the flower show?" Li Qiushui also questioned.
Taking it to a flower show will not only fetch a good price, but will also increase his fame. It can be said to be both fame and fortune. Why not take it to a flower show?
It's clear that there is something wrong in his heart.
"This year's flower show has already passed. I'm in urgent need of money now and can't wait that long." The man explained.
Not only can't I wait, but this ghost orchid can't wait either. He was afraid that the ghost orchid wouldn't last that long. He checked it carefully and found that there was a problem with the ghost orchid that he couldn't solve.
Therefore, he quickly took it out and sold it.
Originally he wanted to find a good buyer and sell it at a good price, but he couldn't prove that he cultivated the ghost orchid himself. Many people are afraid of getting into trouble, so they dare not take over.
In the end, you can only try your luck at this kind of flea market.
"Classmates, are you also an international student? From that school? Maybe I will still be your senior brother." As he said this, he also tried to play the emotional card.
"Why do you care what school I go to?" Qiao Yufan was studying at Pheasant University, so he was embarrassed to say it, and his tone was obviously a little unhappy.
The stall owner smiled and did not continue to ask.
He was very smart and had already guessed that the university this classmate went to was not a very good one. He felt a little disdainful, but did not show it on his face.
Lin Yuan asked: "How can I sell this pot?"
He pointed to a pot of strange flowers that resembled a parrot.
The stall owner introduced to Lin Yuan: "This is called parrot's beak impatiens. Because it blooms very much like a parrot, it is called parrot flower. It is prohibited to be exported in Africa. If you want to take a look, Then go local.
The plant I have is a seed given to me by a friend, and I cultivated it myself. ”
Qiao Yufan curled his lips and said to himself: Blow, keep blowing!
If you are so powerful, you want to set up a stall here? Regardless of whether others believe it or not, he does not believe it anyway.
In addition, the stall owner also told Lin Yuan that parrot's beak impatiens is one of the most beautiful flowers in the world. It is unique to the Canary Islands. This flower blooms in spring and needs cool temperatures. Fluctuations in temperature may cause this The death of flowers.
"Why are you talking so much nonsense? How much does it cost?" The old uncle didn't care about this and didn't speak politely.
He didn't have any other skills, but he could still read people's emotions. Although this guy was friendly to them on the surface, he actually looked down on them, especially after asking Qiao Yufan what school he went to.
The guy almost choked to death. He resisted the urge to curse and forced out a professional smile: "Not much, just six thousand dollars. Let me tell you, I spent all the money to cultivate this parrot's beak impatiens. More than..."
"Excuse me." Lin Yuan turned around and left.
Do you really think they are taken advantage of?
Six thousand US dollars is equivalent to more than 40,000 yuan. Buying a flower will make you full?
Of course, this does not mean that there are no valuable flowers and trees in China. Some flowers and trees cost hundreds of thousands, even millions, or even tens of millions. But after all, they are only a minority and do not represent anything.
"Don't leave! The price is negotiable! Tell me how much it is." The stall owner quickly stopped Lin Yuan.
After finally getting someone interested, how could you let him go so easily?
"At most 600 US dollars! I'm just looking at it as a curiosity." Lin Yuan said.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
The old uncle opened his mouth. He felt that it was necessary to talk to his nephew and let him negotiate the price later. It's not enough to cut off a single digit, if it were him, he'd give it $60.
Especially for this kind of person, there is no need to be polite to him, just keep the price low.
"If you don't have four digits, you can't sell it." The man shook his head.
"Forget it then." The old uncle said first.
Lin Yuan also knew how to cooperate and turned around and left with his uncle, very simply.
So does everyone else.
Before I even took five steps, the stall owner's urgent voice came from behind me: "Come back and give it to you! I really lost all the fertilizer money. I cultivated it with black soil."
Lin Yuan transferred $600 to the other party and took away the pot of parrot's beak impatiens.
Before walking far, the old uncle said: "This thing is worse than a money tree. Where do you plant it? On the balcony?"
Lin Yuan: "It's up to you! If anyone wants it, they can take it back and plant it."
He is not in the habit of growing flowers and grass yet, he is not that old yet.
Huo Qingtong and others: "..."
No, you spent $600 on something random?
The old uncle reacted quickly, and his eyes fell on the potted plant pot: "Is this the flower pot you want?"
Lin Yuan said angrily: "What else? I don't have the energy to take care of flowers and plants."
Good guy!
Everyone was convinced.
What you like emotionally is someone else's flower pot.
If the guy just now knew that the flower pot he planted in was a treasure, he would be furious to death.
"Brother Lin, what is the origin of this flowerpot?" Qiao Yufan asked.
Everyone pricked up their ears and were very curious.
"You might as well take a guess." Lin Yuan smiled.
The old uncle pretended to look at it for a while.
