Chapter 293 The Speculative Tianfu Investment Company
There is a serious shortage of Clivia in the market. Once a pot of Clivia enters the trading channel, it will be traded several times in a short period of time, and the price will be increased layer by layer until it falls into the hands of the end user at a sky-high price.
Clivia, which decorates life, caused a small sensation as soon as it was placed on the street.
Now the price of an average-quality annual Clivia in the Clivia market in Changchun has reached 100 yuan. The price in the capital market is slightly lower, at 700 to 750 yuan.
And the plants used for styling like the ones used for decoration this time are all of extremely high quality. If these plants were to enter the market, they would be sold for at least 2,000 yuan.
As for Clivia valued at more than 10,000 yuan, Sun Dahai has always believed that it is more of a hype. It is not ruled out that some people spend a lot of money to buy Clivia because they like it. However, if such an extremely special accident is treated as news and hyped, it is behind the scenes.
The dealer may run away.
Just a few days after the flowers for Decoration Life were put out, someone followed the line from the Garden Bureau and came looking for them. Accompanied by a director of the Garden Bureau, several people from Xiangjiang came to Decoration Life Company in the afternoon.
The people who came here behaved quite well. When they got to work in the morning, they called me first and made an appointment to meet in the afternoon. I just don’t know whether they are always particular about their work or whether they are like this because Zhuangli Life is a foreign-funded enterprise.
The visitor was from Xiangjiang Tianfu Investment Company. The leader was the company's Vice President Miao, as well as the project manager, secretary and lawyer. They seemed to be talking about business seriously.
According to the principle of reciprocity, Chen Feng received them. The two parties completed formal contact and tentatively expressed their demands.
In fact, the main time in the afternoon was to arrange for them to visit the breeding base and take them into two Clivia cultivation greenhouses, where they had close contact with tens of thousands of Clivia plants.
Back at the company, the two parties took a short break and then began the first round of negotiations.
Tianfu Investment Company proposed to buy out all 120,000 Clivia plants that have grown for more than one year at a time, at a unit price of 300 yuan per plant.
Chen Feng said that the price offered by Tianfu Investment Company was too low, and suggested that Tianfu Investment Company re-evaluate the market prospects of Clivia, hoping that the two parties can carry out in-depth negotiations next time the quotation is made.
The first negotiation ended without any problems between the two parties in a cordial and friendly atmosphere.
"I asked a friend to check in Xiangjiang. Tianfu Investment Company was established last year and was registered in Bermuda. Like us in Xiangjiang, it is also a shell company that rents office desks and telephones. Super Idol
Miao Renjie, the general manager of the company, smuggled across from the mainland in the late 1960s and has been selling fruit. In the late 1970s, he spent his money to attend night school to learn management. After graduation, he registered Tianfu Investment Company and became the general manager.
.
Based on the analysis of existing information, it is estimated that the boss of Tianfu Investment Company is someone else. Miao Renjie is the white glove who was pushed to the front desk.
The financial strength and source of funds of Tianfu Investment Company are unknown. There is a transaction record in Xiangjiang. Last year, it shorted Hong Kong dollars in the spot currency market. It invested about 10 million US dollars and made a profit of nearly 20.
Miao Wei, who contacted Chen Feng today, is Miao Renjie's cousin. He was the vice president of Tianfu Investment Company in Xiangjiang last year, and he was actually the person who ran errands for Miao Renjie."
Huang Feifei investigated a lot of information in the afternoon. According to what she said, why does Sun Dahai think that Tianfu Investment Company is so similar to his own company?
"Three hundred per plant, Tianfu Company is considered a big spender. Our company's goods are worth more than thirty million." Fang Datong did not expect that the Clivia that Sun Dahai had urged him to cultivate in the past few years was actually worth so much money.
"I don't think this is the price they have in mind. Uncle Fang, you don't know. When I took them to visit the Clivia greenhouse, their eyes were straightened," Chen Feng said.
In the guest room of the Capital Hotel, Miao Wei was on the phone to Xiangjiang.
"Brother, you don't know. I have been spending most of my time in the Changchun Clivia Market for more than a year. I thought no one could see a lot of Clivias gathered together than me.
As a result, I went to the cultivation greenhouse that decorates my life today, and it was an eye-opener. There are tens of thousands of Clivia plants, so densely packed that you can’t even see the end at a glance. My dear, I think this is RMB grown in the ground.”
Miao Wei was a little excited and kept describing the scene he saw.
Miao Renjie on the other side of the phone was thinking about other things, so he interrupted Miao Wei's ramblings.
"Xiaowei, they said there are a total of 120,000 clivias, and the growth period is more than one year?"
"Yes, I saw it with my own eyes. I have to say that a lot of money has been spent on decorating life. Several mountains are covered with greenhouses, and there are also permanent greenhouses used for the cultivation of various plants."
"Okay, I've already booked a flight for the day after tomorrow. Don't have any contact with them these days. Find connections to find out more about that company. I'll wait until I get to the capital." Poison Concubine turned around: The evil evil king wants to do this.
favor
Miao Renjie hung up the phone, thought for a moment, and then picked up the phone again.
"Master Ren, I sent someone to the company you told me about yesterday that might be able to cultivate Clivia today."
"Yes, your judgment is correct. They are cultivating Clivia in batches, but it doesn't look like a premeditated act. They are just engaged in greening. The people I sent said that they are cultivating all kinds of green plants."
"Yes, I know this is a good thing for us. There is not enough supply. We can't make money just by hyping the concept. But Ren Shao, they really have Clivia reserves, but the quantity seems to be a bit too big. Hmm, huh,
It is said that there are 120,000 plants."
"Hey, Ren Shao, Ren Shao?"
Miao Renjie heard a garbled sound coming from the phone, and after a while, he heard Mr. Ren's voice again.
"It's okay. I accidentally pulled the phone underground just now. Are you sure that there are 120,000 Clivias over there now?" The voice was so loud that you could hear what was coming from it even if you took the receiver away from your ears.
sound.
"Yes, my brother saw it with his own eyes. There are several greenhouses, and they are all filled with Clivia."
"Okay, Young Master Ren. I will arrive in the capital the day after tomorrow. When I arrive, I will go find you first and we will talk after we meet."
In a dormitory area for senior officials of the Ministry of Foreign Economic Relations and Trade in the capital, a young man in his early twenties put down the phone in his hand, but the look on his face was uncertain.
His name is Gao Ren, and he comes from a well-known family. His grandfather was an overseas student who returned from Europe. He participated in the revolution in his early years and was quickly transferred to work on the economic front.
After liberation, his grandfather had been working in the foreign trade industry, and then his father also entered this industry. During the Ten-Year Special Period, his family suffered a certain impact, and the whole family was sent to the countryside to participate in labor reform.
Fortunately, within a few years, his family was all under PNN. Not only did his grandfather and father return to their posts, they also made slight progress.
Gao Ren himself was quite successful. He took the college entrance examination in 1911 and was admitted to the international trade major of the Capital Institute of Foreign Trade. The school has been renamed the University of International Business and Economics in the new semester.
