Fengying Flower Company, named after Su Anying, also opened for business at this time.
There was no need for any publicity, just firecrackers were set off here, and people immediately discovered that another flower company had opened here.
Then, people who were hunting for Clivia came in an endless stream.
In the main room on the north side, there are rows of flower stands, and on the flower stands are various large and small clivias.
There is a label under each pot, indicating the variety and price of Clivia.
The first batch of more than a thousand pots was shipped to the provincial capital. Except for the finished clivias raised by Xu Shiqin, most of the rest were those raised by Xu Shiyan's family, and a few were from the breeding farm.
You have to prepare some large and small ones for people to choose from.
At this time, it will soon be the season of Clivia.
The finished clivias with more than a dozen leaves have already been pierced with flower stems and flower buds, and they will bloom after a while.
The price of Clivia is not set blindly.
Before the opening, Xu Shiyan specially asked Huang Shengli and others to walk around the Clivia market holding flowers.
Look at the price they gave you and double the price when you come back.
The expensive ones cost tens of thousands, the cheap ones cost several thousand, and even seedlings with only three or four small leaves are priced at four to five hundred.
Anyway, the price frightened Huang Shengli and others. They never dreamed that just a pot of flowers could be sold so expensively.
At first, everyone was quite nervous, thinking that the price was too high and that it would be difficult to sell.
Unexpectedly, on the first day of opening, the store sold dozens of pots, and the most expensive pot sold for 30,000 yuan.
A man from a neighboring province came over and picked out three pots of finished Clivia, which cost more than 70,000 yuan.
For those little flower seedlings, the customer didn't even negotiate the price, he just ordered the money, paid, and walked away with it in his arms.
On the first day of opening, it sold more than 200,000 yuan.
Where had these people seen so much money? It was so scary that when the store was closed at night, the hands of Xu Chenghou and others were trembling.
"Quick, quick, put the window panels in place and lock them, and lock the door.
Eat quickly and take turns to be on duty in the first half of the night and the second half of the night.
My God, this is too scary, how can it be so expensive?"
When he first set the price, Xu Chenghou thought Xu Shiyan was just fooling around by setting such a high price.
Now I look at it, my dear, this is too scary. How many tens of thousands of dollars can a pot of flowers cost?
Su Anying hurriedly cooked the meal. Everyone had a meal and rest. They took turns on duty at night. No one dared to be careless.
After the store opened, many people came in to buy it every day. No matter how expensive it was, there was always something that caught their eye.
Small flower seedlings are the best to sell. During good times, hundreds of pots are sold in a day. Large flower seedlings are sold more slowly and are sold out every day.
"Waiter, can this potted flower be cheaper?"
This is the most popular saying in the store. I don’t know how many people shout it every day.
"Sir, you have good taste. This plant is an oilman.
Don't look at just a few leaves. If you buy them and keep them for two years, they can be sold for tens of thousands of dollars.
The main problem at our house is that there are too many flower seedlings and there is really no place to display them, so we have no choice but to take out.
Five hundred yuan is not expensive anymore. If you don’t believe me, go out and ask around. The price of Clivia has increased a lot in the past few days.”
After these days of experience, Su Anying has become much calmer and can talk to each other calmly.
Su Anying's words didn't fool anyone. Huang Shengli and Zhao Jianshe went to various markets and flower and tree companies every morning. The prices really stayed the same every day.
Su Anying got Xu Shiyan's instruction and has not yet increased the price.
The key is, there are still so many at home, so we need to get rid of them as soon as possible.
The house has only been rented for four months. We must take advantage of the four months to sell it quickly without delaying it for too long.
Opposite was a man in a suit and tie, who looked like a small leader of some unit.
When the other party heard that Fengying Flower Company had many Clivia seedlings, their eyes lit up.
"You mean, your family still has a lot of Clivia seedlings? How many can there be?"
Su Anying was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized, "There are still seven or eight thousand pots at home, some with three to five leaves, and some with seven or eight leaves."
Clivia can be propagated by seeds or vegetatively, and can basically grow three to five leaves a year.
Of course, this is also related to light, fertilizer and water.
Xu Shiyan and his people began to collect seeds and cultivate Clivia from the end of 1982 to the beginning of 1983.
Until the beginning of spring this year, the flower sheds and window sills of every house were full, and the price of Clivia seeds also increased, so we stopped buying and planting them.
Therefore, the flower seedlings at home include some with three to five leaves, and some with seven or eight leaves.
Su Anying, who was in charge of the Clivia, knew the flowers at home very well. Of course she remembered exactly how many there were, and immediately reported the number.
"So many? Where are they? Take me to see them quickly." When the other party heard this, he became happy and wanted Su Anying to take him to see them.
"Sir, I'm sorry, my home is far away from here."
Su Anying smiled, she was so far away, why should she be led to see it?
"How far is very far? From your accent, it sounds like you haven't left our province, so it's not like you're in the south.
It doesn't matter how far it is now, as long as there are enough flower seedlings, you can tell me where it is."
When the other party heard this, he smiled nonchalantly and said he would never be able to leave the country no matter how far he went.
Nowadays, more and more people take planes to pick out Tenghua seedlings. What are they afraid of?
"It's over in Fusong, the county where ginseng is produced."
Su Anying thought for a while and finally decided to tell the other party.
This matter cannot be hidden. When they came here, they were registered in the street. If anyone asked, they would know where they came from.
"In this case, can you arrange for someone to lead the way? I want to go over and take a look.
If there are many flower seedlings, I will purchase at least a thousand pots."
When the other party heard that it was Fusong, he breathed a sigh of relief. The road was nothing, it would only take one day to drive, so it wouldn't be a big deal.
Su Anying thought for a moment before replying, "Sir, do you think this is okay?
Let's sign a letter of intent to place an order. You pay a deposit of 50,000 yuan in advance, and I will immediately arrange for someone to transport the flowers here.
In this case, you don’t have to make a long trip back and forth, and besides, it’s quite dangerous on the road with so much cash.”
It should be said that Su Anying has gained experience now.
She was worried that this person didn't know where he came from. In order to avoid someone setting a trap for them, Su Anying came up with this method.
You have to pay a deposit of 50,000 yuan before you can view the goods.
Come to think of it, the average scammer doesn't have the strength to hand over 50,000 yuan.
Anyway, the store has sold a lot of flowers recently, and another batch was supposed to be shipped over. It is best not to let others know the specific location of the flower shed at home.
The other party laughed when he heard it, "Hey, it's not simple, it's quite clever.
Okay, anyway, you have a lot of flowers here, so I’m not afraid of you lying to me.
Fifty thousand yuan, right? Wait a minute, I’ll have someone pick it up right now.”
As he said that, the man turned around and said a few words to the person behind him, who immediately turned around and left.
After a while, two people came back with a suitcase. The suitcase was opened and inside was a brand new fifty thousand yuan.
