Rebirth 1988 Farming and Raising Children

Chapter 211
The matter of planting flowers to make money spread among the villagers and to several other counties in Yuncheng.

Compared with their Baiyun County, other counties have flat terrain, which is more suitable for large-scale greenhouse flower planting.

Soon, someone came to the door, wanting to cooperate with Jiang Ancheng to plant flowers.

Among them was Manager Li who worked under Hua Guoyao.

The couple wanted to set up a perfume factory before, but after Jiang Ancheng reminded them, they found that the cost of extracting natural flavors was too expensive, so fortunately they used artificial flavors to create the first large-scale perfume company in Yuncheng.

Manager Li has resigned now and is the president of the perfume company.

With the increase of flowers and materials in the Southeast Road market, flower shops have sprung up like mushrooms after rain.

The first batch of imported tulips planted by Jiang Ancheng flowed into the market and were sold out soon.

Manager Li is keenly aware that the climate in Yuncheng is indeed a good place for planting flowers.

As long as the land resources are integrated and flowers are planted on a large scale, they can occupy the entire flower market in Yuncheng.

But Jiang Ancheng has already started to do it, and he also has the support of the government.

Even the small-scale flower wholesale market formed in the Southeast Road market is led by Jiang Ancheng.

However, Jiang Ancheng relied on eating matsutake mushrooms, and accumulated funds that far exceeded his and his wife's background, so it is impossible to monopolize the flower market.

Moreover, he found that Jiang Ancheng was very keen on the flower market, even worse than foreign flower trends.

Take the opening flower baskets as an example, he had seen opening flower baskets like wreaths when he was abroad, but Jiang Ancheng came up with two kinds as soon as he came.

Both are more in line with Chinese aesthetics, one is simple and elegant, the other is elegant and luxurious, and the prices are also two different grades, which can distinguish different groups of people.

Satisfy the vanity of the rich.

Manager Li felt that it would be better for him to rely on the big tree to enjoy the shade just by relying on him now to explore and plant flowers. He would talk about cooperation with Jiang Ancheng, buy some seeds from Jiang Ancheng, learn flower planting techniques, and let Jiang Ancheng talk to the leaders. A large area of ​​land can be contracted.

But Manager Li was not sure whether Jiang Ancheng would agree, after all, they really didn't know each other very well.

Counting that he had helped Jiang Ancheng before, Jiang Ancheng also quickly repaid the favor, and did not owe him anything.

Therefore, Manager Li discussed with his wife and decided to give Jiang Ancheng some gifts to deepen their friendship.

After much deliberation, Manager Li decided to give Jiang Ancheng an antique.

Manager Li's wife found an antique shop, found the owner and explained her intentions.

As soon as the boss heard that they were going to give it away, he immediately recommended the long-necked gourd bottle from the Qianlong period to Manager Li.

The owner of the antique carefully introduced: "This is painted by JDZ royal craftsmen in the early years of Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty using the luxurious decoration technique "rolling brocade". It is a masterpiece in the early years of Qianlong's reign, which is rich in convenience, overlapping and staggered, tight in composition, and meticulously sealed in ice!"

The antique boss said so much, but he didn't show it.

Manager Li said: "Then what is the meaning of this gourd bottle?"

The owner of the antique said with a smile: "The gourd symbolizes wealth, auspiciousness, prosperous descendants, longevity and protection from evil spirits. The original name of this work is the Long-necked Gourd Vase with Longevity and Longevity, and it also means icing on the cake."

Manager Li thinks it is good, and the meaning is all there.

It just so happens that Jiang Ancheng's wife is about to give birth, so this is a good gift.

Manager Li's wife said, "Then take out the bottle and show us!"

But the antique owner said in embarrassment: "Such a precious antique is now in the hands of a collector in the capital. If you are really interested, I can help you contact the collector, and then see how you want to negotiate to buy it. collection."

In the 80s, the auction of cultural relics was not yet popular.

Many are afraid of being labeled as stealing national cultural relics, so they conduct transactions in private with a low profile.

With great fanfare, it may also attract treacherous people with unreasonable ideas, who will directly steal the treasure by relying on their power.

The original collection was in the capital.

They went to the capital and met the buyer, but the transaction may not be successful.

Manager Li's wife wanted to give up, and asked the price falsely.

The antique boss opened his mouth and said 2000 million, which really scared Manager Li and his wife.

Manager Li: "How can it be so expensive!"

This was 1988, and the per capita salary was only over 100 yuan!

The antique boss said: "This piece is precious. It is still a court tribute, and its collection value is very high. It can double in value in the future."

Even if the collection value is high, it is nothing more than a bottle. At this time, it is already 2000 million, which is almost reaching the ceiling of the antique market. How could there be a huge room for appreciation.

It is estimated that even if the two of them gave this antique to Jiang Ancheng and had a relationship with the leaders, it is unlikely that they could earn 2000 million in a short period of time by planting flowers!
Looking at the faces of Manager Li and Manager Li's wife, you can tell that they probably won't want to buy it.

The antique owner actively promoted other products with great interest, and based on the price of antiques that Mr. Li and his wife had priced, he finally positioned them at a level that they could consume, and recommended a sky blue glazed bowl from the Northern Song Dynasty to the couple.

This glazed bowl is in the owner's shop of the antique shop. This glazed bowl is not used by the emperor, and there is no inscription of the year. We can only rely on experts to judge that it is a blue glazed bowl from the Northern Song Dynasty, probably from a famous kiln.

However, there are many modern imitations of glazed bowls of this color, like this real one, it is not easy to sell.

Therefore, it is obviously a very good antique, but the boss only called out the price of 20.

20 can buy collections from the Northern Song Dynasty, which is indeed very good.

But the couple suspected that it was a fake. If it wasn't for the beautiful color without any signs of the age, people who don't know the goods would probably think it's just an ordinary porcelain bowl.

Compared with the long-necked gourd bottle introduced by the owner of the antique shop before, it seems a bit shabby to give away.

Manager Li pondered: "Do you want to buy another hosta for Jiang Ancheng's wife?"

Women, if you are happy, this business is probably half done.

Moreover, Jiang Ancheng valued Sun Miaolan's feelings very much.

Manager Li's wife quickly agreed and chose the carved phoenix-headed jade hairpin among a bunch of antique jade hairpins.This style is like a phoenix in the flowers, exquisite and strange, integrally formed, very sophisticated and meticulous.

Even if the business couldn't be negotiated, Jiang Ancheng would return the gift, which is what she likes.

Manager Li's wife asked the price, and it was not very expensive, only more than 2 yuan.

They spent more than 20 yuan. Thinking of the future business, they are quite happy.

Soon, Manager Li called Jiang Ancheng and said that he would make an appointment for a dinner with Jiang Ancheng.

Jiang Ancheng regarded Manager Li as a friend, and he did not hesitate to lend him money at a critical juncture. Even though he knew that Manager Li suddenly invited him to dinner, he must have wanted to discuss business, he still happily accepted it.

Manager Li invited Jiang Ancheng and Sun Miaolan to a very high-end game restaurant.

It was the first time for Sun Miaolan to see such a luxurious shop with wild game, so she couldn't help but look a few more times, and the waiters immediately asked actively, "Madam, can I help you?"

Going out for dinner, Sun Miaolan was dressed a little more formally, and even put on the bracelet, jade pendant and pearl earrings that Jiang Ancheng bought for her.

Coupled with her slender figure, even if she is pregnant, she still has charm. At first glance, she looks like a noble lady from an extraordinary background. Everyone wants to actively serve her and hope to be able to attract the eyes of noble people.

Sun Miaolan smiled and refused, and after a while, she saw Manager Li and Manager Li's wife in low-key clothes in the private room.

Although they were hosts, they didn't want to steal the limelight from Jiang Ancheng and Sun Miaolan.

After a few simple greetings, the waiter began to serve the dishes.

During the conversation with Manager Li, Jiang Ancheng understood that Manager Li wanted to engage in flower contract planting.

The country will soon open up a large area of ​​land, allowing the rich to contract and develop the economy at will.

The calculation is that Manager Li doesn't ask him now, but he can do it in the future.

Planting flowers is actually not that complicated. If you don't know how to grow flowers, just invite a few more people and you will be able to figure it out.

Moreover, the larger the scale of flower planting, the faster the flower economy in Yuncheng can develop.

Jiang Ancheng is very happy that more and more people join this line.

After all, even if he is not the leader of the flower industry in the future, from his point of view, he can earn a lot of money.

After a brief meal, Manager Li's wife took her to the private room for a facial massage. Jiang Ancheng directly agreed to Manager Li's request to help him speak in front of the government leaders so that he could also contract a large area of ​​land , and receive special welfare subsidies from the government, paying less tax.

Manager Li never expected that Jiang Ancheng agreed so readily.

He happily raised his glass, and planned to have a restless night with Jiang Ancheng.

When Jiang Ancheng and Manager Li are both drunk, the meal is officially over.

When Jiang Ancheng got in the car, Sun Miaolan hesitated to speak. When she got home, she cooked a bowl of fermented glutinous rice sober soup, and then said to Jiang Ancheng, "Mrs. Li gave us two gifts."

After speaking, Sun Miaolan brought the gift over.

It is an antique azure glazed bowl, and there is a phoenix-headed jade hairpin.

Sun Miaolan said: "I didn't want to take it, she forced it to me."

Jiang Ancheng picked up the azure glaze bowl and looked at it carefully, feeling a little surprised.

This thing is very similar to the azure glaze wash of Ru Kiln in the Northern Song Dynasty!
The reason why Jiang Ancheng had an impression of this treasure was entirely because of a piece of news that year.

This collection looks ordinary, it looks like a more modern bowl, and it actually paid a sky-high price of [-] million.

At that time, it caused a sensation on the entire network and social media, and also set off a wave of azure retro craze. All kinds of similar tea sets, porcelain bowls, even stationery for students, and clothes worn by fashionistas are all azure. of.

Jiang Ancheng looked left and right, carefully looked again and again, Emma, ​​this thing is really similar, very similar.

If this collection is real, then he has earned [-] billion in vain!
Sun Miaolan looked at Jiang Ancheng looking at this treasure with fascination, "She said this is an antique, how much is an antique worth?"

Jiang Ancheng pretended to be indifferent and said: "Look at the future appreciation space, this bowl has no mark, and it probably won't be too expensive."

Therefore, Manager Li and his wife probably didn't expect to give him this. After the appraisal of later generations, the price of this thing can rise so much in one fell swoop.

Jiang Ancheng looked at the jade hairpin given to Sun Miaolan again.

The hosta looks unremarkable, but the workmanship is better than the price.

Jiang Ancheng reckoned that when Manager Li and his wife gave gifts, they also considered the value of these two antiques. They met their expectations and they were able to reach a balance in the deal with Jiang Ancheng, so they chose to give these two antiques.

Since the market price is not expensive now, it is not Jiang Ancheng taking advantage of them.

When Sun Miaolan asked Jiang Ancheng if he wanted to return it, Jiang Ancheng shook his head: "This is what they want. If we don't accept it, they will think that we don't do things seriously for them. How about this? I'll also go to the cultural relics market and find a few If it is a suitable antique, it will not be sent back.”

In this way, Jiang Ancheng has no shame in his heart.

Sun Miaolan smiled and said, "Okay, let's do it this way."

Jiang Ancheng came to the antique market in Yuncheng the next day.

The antique market in Yuncheng is a mess, and there is no overall plan.

There are quite a lot of small stalls, most of which are so-called zero yuan purchases, or fakes, or poor people who come to sell family heirlooms because of their unsatisfactory life.

Jiang Ancheng was very concerned about antiques after the azure glaze wash caused the heat.

At that time, he even imagined that if he could travel back, he would definitely buy a few more antiques and leave them for his grandchildren to appreciate.

No, the opportunity really came.

Jiang Ancheng is not good at appraising treasures, but he has an inventory of precious treasures in his mind.

Walking around the stall, he suddenly saw a very beautiful bronze wine glass.

This wine glass is exactly the same as the photo he swiped on his phone.

However, it is exactly the same, and it is also likely to be a fake.

Jiang Ancheng pondered for a long time, and saw exactly the same thing at the second booth below.

Now it's all right, the thought of picking up the leak was instantly wiped out.

If everyone can easily pick up the leak, why should everyone struggle.

Jiang Ancheng felt that he was funny, shook his head secretly, and honestly entered a regular shop.

Entering the shop, the shop owner immediately greeted Jiang Ancheng warmly.

The shop owner smiled and asked, "What kind of goods does the boss want to see?"

Jiang Ancheng smiled and said: "Look at it freely, but it must be genuine."

Jiang Ancheng's words were full of confidence, and the store owner instantly judged that Jiang Ancheng was a person capable of spending, so he enthusiastically introduced him.

In the end, Jiang Ancheng bought a pair of Hetian jade concentric jade pendants for Manager Li and his wife in this shop, and spent 10 yuan.

The boss assured that it must be genuine. To be honest, Jiang Ancheng couldn't tell.

However, it feels really good in the hand.
