Chapter 194: Elegant Orchid
Considering that lunch time is almost here and the time when I visited the shop later was over, Liu Xiaoyu thought about it and took his girlfriend to solve the lunch problem first.
Because there are too many people, in order to save time, they made some quick snacks to deal with it. After eating, they saw that the time was getting faster. After walking for a while, they finally arrived at the flower, bird, fish and insect market. Compared with the pedestrian commercial street outside, the abortion here seems to be much less. Although it is the flower, bird, fish and insect market, there are actually many shops selling some other things.
There are Jingdezhen porcelain, magic mahjong and other entertainment items, and even some fishing and traveling equipment. Of course, the most unignorable thing on the entire street is the noise generated by various pets and the slightest smell mixed in the air.
Looking at the dazzling market, fortunately, Liu Xiaoyu had asked Little Noah to do some investigations in this regard before coming. In addition to exploring the market situation in related aspects, the purpose of this trip also happened to collect some biological samples. Although most of the things are not valuable, at least it can enrich Little Noah's gene library. If you find any useful genes, you will make a profit.
Because what I am most concerned about at the moment is the market conditions of the flower market, Liu Xiaoyu took his little bird's girlfriend to visit the flower shop first. I didn't know if I didn't know if I didn't go there, but I was shocked when I walked around. Although these shops were not very large, they looked inconspicuous. After shopping, Liu Xiaoyu could completely feel that the water was very deep.
He took a rough turn first, and then he chose a flower shop that looked big and felt good and walked in. This is a flower shop called Taya Youlan. This store is different from that kind of flower shop. It does not sell roses or etiquette flowers.
There are a wide variety of shops, with a lot of potted flowers arranged in a scattered manner, as well as some medium and large bonsai. Of course, there are elegant orchids in the shop, as the name suggests, orchids are bound to be included.
When I was shopping in front, Liu Xiaoyu had already had a little contact with the owner of this store. The other party was a young man of similar age as him. The boss's surname was Ai, a not very common surname. He was gentle and had glasses with gold wire borders, giving people a very bookish feeling.
Seeing Liu Xiaoyu coming again, the owner of the shop who was sitting on a rattan chair and was drinking tea and smiled and stood up to greet him. Although Boss Ai was not old, he could do business in a place like Confucius Temple, not to mention the background, and his eyesight would not be much worse.
When Liu Xiaoyu and Lin Jiaxin entered the store to check the ground, Boss Ai had already noticed them. Although from the perspective of appearance, these two definitely felt like flowers were placed on that, he had a unique vision but found that although the man in front of him looked a little ordinary, he was filled with a unique temperament.
It is this temperament that makes this boss Ai even more unable to underestimate these two customers who seem to be just looking at the shop.
So when Liu Xiaoyu and the others came to the door again, he quickly got up to meet him.
Because there was already a contact, the two sides communicated more deeply this time. First, under the guidance and explanation of Boss Ai, Liu Xiaoyu took his girlfriend to carefully view the dazzling array of flowers in the shop. During this process, he didn't talk much. He just asked some professional questions and opinions when watching orchids from time to time.
These professional questions and opinions alone have already made Boss Ai look at him with admiration. Liu Xiaoyu also became a character who is very knowledgeable about orchids in Boss Ai's concept. After appreciating the flowers in the store, the group returned to the reception area to sit down.
Watching her boyfriend chatting with the owner of this flower shop, Lin Jiaxin just sat obediently and listened quietly. She knew that as a woman, it would be better to be quiet in such an occasion.
Liu Xiaoyu talked with the boss Ai in front of him for a while and then turned to the topic and said, "Boss Ai. When I was chatting just now, I heard you say that you have a consignment land business for high-end flowers?"
When he heard this suddenly, Boss Ai was stunned and then suddenly realized. He thought to himself, no wonder the person in front of him knows a lot about orchids. It seems that this guy is mostly an orchid lover. He may have been a little tight recently, so he wants to sell the orchids he collected to make a turnaround.
This thought flashed through Boss Ai's mind, and on the surface he pretended to be puzzled: "Yes, I have this business in my store. What you mean by asking this is..."
After confirming what he was asking, Liu Xiaoyu took a sip of tea and said with a light smile: "That's right. A friend of mine has several pretty good orchids. Now I want to take action. I wonder if you can accept this business here?"
Originally, before he came, he just wanted to inquire about the market, but he didn't expect that this Danya Youlan store had such a business project as consignment. In this case, Liu Xiaoyu would not have to wait for the Orchid Festival that would be held for a while. So he made a temporary decision and said this again under the name of that friend.
In fact, as far as Boss Ai is concerned, although he is in the flower business, he can be regarded as a flower lover, but he loves other flowers in addition to orchids. It was precisely because of this reason that he entered this industry circle. As time goes by, he has achieved considerable results and has occupied a place in the circle.
After listening to Liu Xiaoyu's words, he became more sure of his thoughts. As for the friend the other party said, he automatically ignored it. It would be strange if someone believed this kind of obvious excuses these days, so he said: "It must be collected, but you also know that the flowers I consign here must be rare varieties, so the specific situation depends on what kind of orchids in your friend's hand."
It is really hard to guarantee other Liu Xiaoyu, but the new varieties of orchids cultivated in the space seem to have not appeared in the entire orchid world. However, he was not prepared to take out the new varieties of orchids cultivated in his hands at the beginning, so he just mentioned the two varieties with very cheap market value in the space to test the other party's reaction.
After all, I am in this industry. Boss Ai was not surprised by the two orchid varieties mentioned by Liu Xiaoyu. After all, the orchids that can be collected by professionals should be rare and normal. Seeing the other party's ordinary reaction, Liu Xiaoyu finally mentioned several varieties with relatively high market value cultivation in the space.
Although the orchid market has been flat in the past two years, it is only for some ordinary products. For those rare varieties, the word "sky price" has never failed. Therefore, these rare orchid varieties with a market value of 10,000 yuan made Boss Ai, who had no reaction, change his face immediately after listening to it.
Then the conversation, which was originally a little chatty, immediately turned to specific consignment details. Although the business was just consignment, it was more attractive to Boss Ai than the ordinary flowers sold in the store. You should know that the commission of 5% of the transaction volume was not comparable to the profits brought by selling those ordinary flowers.
Having a common direction, Liu Xiaoyu and the boss, whose full name is Ai Yang, talked about details and agreed to deliver the real thing to the store as soon as possible. After all, no matter how nice it sounds, they don’t see the real thing. Moreover, there are too many people making fake flowers these days, so everything has to be counted after seeing the real thing.
It took almost an hour for Liu Xiaoyu and Lin Jiaxin to walk out of the store with the enthusiasm of Boss Ai Yang Ai. After walking a distance, Liu Xiaoyu smiled and said to his girlfriend who had been quiet just now: "Xin'er, don't you have anything to ask?"
In fact, Lin Jiaxin's view of love can be said to be very traditional and extreme. In her eyes, since she is already the other person, then marrying a chicken and marrying a dog and following the dog, there is a reason for her boyfriend to do whatever she does. She will naturally say what she can say without asking what she can say. If she can't say it, it will be bad if she asks it yourself.
So she had never heard of the inquiry before, and after listening to her boyfriend's question, she replied foolishly: "What do I have to ask?"
Looking at his girlfriend's cute expression, Liu Xiaoyu smiled and rubbed the other person's head. Instead of continuing to talk about this topic, he continued to move forward to the next goal. At present, today's trip was not in vain. Anyway, for him, whether his orchids can be sold at sky-high prices and have a way out in advance, the latter is the most important thing.
After seeing the orchids, Liu Xiaoyu was going to see ornamental fish again. According to the information collected by Xiao Noah, the four varieties of ornamental fish are the most expensive, namely fish, arowana, flower arhat and koi. Therefore, some other low-end fish were automatically ignored by him. Of course, ignoring it is ignored. This gene sample Xiaopiao Astronomy has seen photos of these fish on the network, but after seeing the real thing, he was still attracted by the four ornamental fish with different shapes, colorful colors and high value.
