Pick up bargains in Chinatown and make 10,000 times the profit at the beginning

Chapter 73 Blow, Keep Blowing

The stall owner himself seemed to be afraid of getting into trouble, and hurriedly explained that the ghost orchid was cultivated by him and was not collected from the wild, so it could be purchased with confidence.

He is a biological breeding expert. He used to be a student of Tsinghua University. Later, he went abroad to study at public expense, but then he didn't want to go back.

There are many classmates like him, so he does not feel any guilt. He feels that there will be no platform for him to display his talents if he returns to China, and there will not be a fair environment, etc. It is better to stay abroad.

However, he didn't do very well abroad.

Now he has even fallen to the point of selling flowers and trees to make a living.

Fortunately, he has some skills and specializes in cultivating some relatively rare species, and has achieved certain results. For example, the ghost orchid in front of you is one of his masterpieces.

Although there was a certain degree of chance in the cultivation of this ghost orchid, it was at least a success.

Recently, his life has been a bit tight, so he had to sell some of his "results" in exchange for some living expenses.

"You're kidding! If you successfully cultivated ghost orchid, would you still set up a stall here?" Qiao Yufan didn't believe it.

It's really hard to believe.

With such an achievement in successfully cultivating ghost orchids, you should be treated as a distinguished guest by some universities or institutions, right? Why do you still need to show up like this?

The man smiled bitterly: "I'm not lying to you."

For a moment, he himself couldn't explain it clearly.

Should we tell these people that America is not a pure land either, and that America also cannot provide a fair employment and scientific research environment? He chose this path himself, and he has to keep going even if he cries.

Now, the United States is very wary of these Chinese people. Some companies and institutions have clearly stated that they do not want Chinese people and would rather have Asian people.

Just like him, he has applied for jobs many times, but no one wants him, no matter how good his grades are or what scientific research achievements he has.

In fact, some of his classmates in China invited him to go back, but he didn't go back because of his reputation. How could he go back if he couldn't make a name for himself?
"If you grew this, why didn't you take it to the flower show?" Li Qiu Shui also questioned.

Taking it to a flower show can not only fetch a good price, but it can also increase his fame, which can be said to be a double gain of fame and fortune. Why not take it to a flower show?

It's obvious that he has something to hide.

"This year's flower show has passed. I need money urgently and can't wait that long," the man explained.

Not only could he not wait, but the ghost orchid couldn't wait either. He was afraid that the ghost orchid wouldn't be able to hold out for that long. He had carefully checked it and found that there was something wrong with it, and he couldn't solve it.

So he quickly took it out to sell.

He originally wanted to find a good buyer and sell it for a good price, but he couldn't prove that he had cultivated the ghost orchid. Many people were afraid of getting into trouble, so they didn't dare to take it over.

Finally, you can only try your luck at this kind of flea market.

"Classmates, you are also international students, right? Which school? Maybe I am your senior." As he said this, he tried to play the emotional card.

"Why do you care what school I go to?" Qiao Yufan attended a fake university, so he was embarrassed to say it out loud, and his tone was obviously a little unhappy.

The stall owner smiled and didn't ask any further questions.

He was very smart and had already guessed that the university this classmate attended was not very good. He felt a little contempt in his heart but did not show it on his face.

Lin Yuan asked: "How much is this pot?"

He pointed to a pot of strange flowers that looked like a parrot.

The stall owner introduced Lin Yuan: "This is called Parrot's Beak Impatiens. It is called Parrot Flower because its appearance when it blooms is very similar to a parrot. It is forbidden to export in Africa. If you want to see it, you have to go to the local area.

This plant of mine was a seed given to me by a friend, and I also cultivated it myself.”

Qiao Yufan curled his lips and said to himself: Blow, keep blowing!

If you are really that powerful, why would you set up a stall here? No matter whether others believe it or not, he doesn't believe it anyway.

In addition, the stall owner also told Lin Yuan that the parrot-beak balsam is one of the most beautiful flowers in the world. It is unique to the Canary Islands. This flower blooms in spring and requires cool temperatures. Temperature fluctuations may cause the death of this flower.

"Why are you talking so much nonsense? How much is it?" My uncle didn't care about that and spoke without being polite.

He didn't have any other skills, but he was good at reading people's expressions. Although this guy was friendly to them on the surface, he actually looked down on them, especially after he asked Qiao Yufan what school he attended.

The guy almost choked to death. He resisted the urge to curse and forced a professional smile: "Not much, just 6,000 US dollars. Let me tell you, it cost me more than that to cultivate this parrot-beaked balsam..."

"Sorry to bother you." Lin Yuan turned around and was about to leave.

Do you really think of them as suckers?
Six thousand US dollars is equivalent to more than 40,000 RMB. Is that enough to buy a flower?
Of course, it is not to say that there are no precious flowers and trees in China. Some flowers and trees are priced at hundreds of thousands, even millions, or even tens of millions. But they are only a minority after all and do not represent anything.

"Don't go! The price is negotiable! Just tell me how much you want." The stall owner quickly stopped Lin Yuan.

Finally someone interested came here, how could I let him go so easily?

"At most 600 US dollars! I just wanted to see it as a curiosity." Lin Yuan said.

The uncle opened his mouth. He felt that he needed to talk to his nephew and let him negotiate the price in the future. It was not enough to cut off one digit. If it was him, he would give 60 dollars.

Especially for people like this, there is no need to be polite to them, just try your best to lower the price.

“It can’t be sold without four figures.” The man shook his head.

"Forget it then." My uncle said first.

Lin Yuan also knew how to cooperate. He turned around and left with his uncle, very decisively.

So does everyone else.

Before I took five steps out, I heard the stall owner's anxious voice behind me: "Come back, I'll give it to you! I really lost all the money I spent on fertilizer. I used black soil to grow this."

Lin Yuan transferred 600 US dollars to the other party and took the pot of parrot-billed balsam away.

Not long after we walked, my uncle said, "This thing is not as good as a money tree. Where are you going to plant it? On the balcony?"

Lin Yuan: "Whatever you want! If anyone wants it, they can take it back and plant it."

He doesn't have the habit of growing flowers and plants yet; he's not at that age yet.

Huo Qingtong and others: "..."

No, you spent $600 and just bought something casual?
It was the uncle who reacted quickly, his eyes fell on the pot of the potted plant: "Is this the pot you want?"

Lin Yuan said unhappily: "What else? I don't have the energy to take care of flowers and plants."

Good guy!
Everyone was convinced.

It seems that you are interested in someone else's flower pot.

If that guy knew that the flowerpot he used to grow flowers was a treasure, he would be so angry that he would die.

"Brother Lin, what's the origin of this flowerpot?" Qiao Yufan asked.

Everyone pricked up their ears, very curious.

"You might as well guess." Lin Yuan said with a smile.

My uncle pretended to watch for a while.
