Reborn in 76: Leading the Whole Village to Eat Meat and Prosper

Li Xiangdong lived a wealthy life until sixty, with a house full of children and grandchildren, but one day he was sent to the heavens by the two green hats his wife gave him.

When he opened ...

Chapter 503 The Myth Shattered

Pan Jixian's expected price is 20,000 yuan per pot.

When a large amount of capital enters the market, the supply of five-needle pine bonsai will be very limited, resulting in a situation where there is a price but no market.

Then, in one fell swoop, they released the five-needle pine bonsai they had in hand and siphoned off all the funds.

As for what happens next, if no one takes over, and the price of the five-needle pine bonsai drops, that's not something they're considering.

Everything he planned was going well, and the market was developing as he expected.

But after waiting a few days, when he released his stock, he suddenly found that the market seemed to be saturated.

The scene of him buying up everything he had envisioned did not happen.

What terrified him even more was that thousands of five-needle pine bonsai appeared on the market overnight.

However, no one bought it.

After a moment's thought, Pan Jixian realized that he had been tricked by Li Xiangdong again, and he was so angry that he almost ground his teeth to powder.

He and the old man no longer have enough funds to buy up these thousands of Japanese white pine bonsai. If no one takes over for a while, the true value of the Japanese white pine will inevitably be discovered.

When the time comes, a sell-off will occur, and a price collapse will happen in an instant.

Then not only will the five-needle pine bonsai he has be stuck with, but he will also never be able to recover the millions of dollars he has lost!

Thinking of this, Pan Jixian broke out in a cold sweat, his clenched fists already soaked with sweat.

After much thought, only one last option remained.

————

Just as Li Xiangdong sold all his Japanese white pine bonsai and pocketed over ten million yuan in cash, rumors began circulating throughout eastern Zhejiang that a Japanese businessman who wanted to buy the Japanese white pine bonsai was about to arrive.

Moreover, they pay at least 30,000 yuan for each Japanese white pine bonsai!

Of course, no one knows who spread such detailed information, but everyone talked about it with great interest and believed it without a doubt.

As this well-documented legend gained traction, Pan Jixian seized the opportunity to sell off a considerable number of bonsai trees.

The eight families bought Li Xiangdong's bonsai first, partly because they didn't have much money left, and partly because they wanted to see if the Japanese would actually come.

In short, we are currently in a wait-and-see period, so the price offered to Panji is not high.

After all, the quality of the five-needle pine bonsai in Li Xiangdong's hands was much better than that in Pan Jixian's hands, and each one was priced at only eight thousand yuan.

Pan Jixian's mouth was covered in blisters from his anxiety, and the old man no longer liked to kiss him, saying that his breath smelled bad.

However, Li Xiangdong interfered with this promising situation.

Pan Jixian doesn't even dare to think about making money anymore; he'd be happy if he could just break even!

The Japanese businessmen were rumored to be coming today and tomorrow, but they never actually showed their faces.

Pan Jixian had no choice but to spread another rumor, saying that Japanese businessmen were processing the export procedures for the plants.

Plants are different from other things. If a plant has an insect hidden in the soil, it could cause an agricultural disaster if it returns to an island nation.

While people were still completely confused, the Cheng family had already sensed that something was amiss.

The third son of the Cheng family decisively decided to lower the price and sold the five hundred five-needle pine bonsai he had to the Ye family for half the price.

This incident resulted in a loss of over two million yuan for the Cheng family. After repaying bank loans and loans from relatives, the factory's working capital was almost completely depleted.

Fortunately, his family's factory, machinery, land, and houses are still there, and with a steady stream of business, they can generate a steady stream of money.

The Cheng family made such a drastic decision, and the eldest son of the Ye family went back to report the situation to his grandfather.

"They said that one of their orders had a problem and they needed money, but all their funds were tied up in the five-needle pine, so they had no choice but to reluctantly sell the bonsai to us at half price."

Ye's eldest son was very pleased with himself. He had just bought the Cheng family's five-needle pine bonsai at half price, and he believed that it would bring his family millions of dollars in wealth in the near future.

The old man should have seen through his abilities and methods by now. He probably won't waver between him and his second brother in terms of who's in charge at home and factory anymore.

Speaking of younger brothers, they're all annoying creatures.

It is said that the idea of ​​selling the five-needle pine bonsai was also made by the third son of the Cheng family, who overruled all objections.

Such actions greatly displeased the eldest and second eldest sons of the Cheng family, who complained about it frequently in private.

After hearing his son's explanation, the old man of the Ye family became somewhat suspicious. He frowned and asked, "The entire Cheng family is as cunning as foxes, especially the third son, Cheng. He's even more shrewd than a monkey when he gets involved! With the price of these five-needle pine bonsai going up every day, why would they sell them to us at a discount? Is there some kind of trap involved?"

The old master of the Ye family had very little faith in his eldest son's judgment.

The key point is that Cheng Laosan is recognized by everyone as the best among the next generation. It's not that he's boosting others' morale while diminishing his own.

My own eldest son is nowhere near as good as Cheng Laosan.

He rubbed the back of his head, his eyes gleaming. "Where did you hear that the Japanese are coming?"

The eldest son of the Ye family was stumped by the question. After stammering for a long time, he finally said, "That's what everyone's saying..."

Old Master Ye slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "Damn it, we've fallen for it!"

"W-what, you've been tricked..."

"You idiot! Quickly, sell all the Japanese white pine bonsai you have! Whether you offer them at half price or a huge discount, sell them all now!"

The eldest son of the Ye family thought his father had gone mad. "Why, Dad! We're about to make a fortune, why sell it! All our family's money is in there..."

The old master of the Ye family interrupted him, "Go quickly! Stop talking nonsense, you, me, we've all been deceived!"

"Oh? I've been scammed..."

Bypassing his eldest son, who was as stupid as a pig, the old man of the Ye family, panting heavily, went directly to his second son and youngest daughter and told them to immediately take over the family's five-needle pine bonsai and sell them all, regardless of the price.

But it was too late.

Cheng's third son's actions caught everyone off guard, except for the Ye family. The other six families weren't stupid either!

Could someone who could build an industry worth hundreds of millions in the early days of reform and opening up be a fool?

Their sense of smell and sensitivity are many times stronger than that of ordinary people!

Therefore, apart from Cheng Laosan, the other seven families all began to sell off their five-needle pine bonsai at great expense.

Initially, when five-needle pine bonsai appeared on the market, ordinary people were very excited and rushed to buy them.

But as more and more Japanese white pine bonsai appeared, people began to appreciate their appeal.

What's going on?

Didn't they say a five-needle pine bonsai would cost 30,000 yuan?

This is a Japanese white pine tree that's worth the equivalent of three people earning ten thousand yuan a year!

Why is everyone selling so frantically?

Moreover, the price is getting lower and lower!

Panic ensued, and the pace at which five-needle pine bonsai entered the market accelerated, eventually leading to a price collapse.

The price of a five-needle pine bonsai rose from tens of yuan to more than 10,000 yuan in just over two months, but it only took ten days for it to fall back to its original price.

However, in just ten days, the myth of the five-needle pine bonsai was suddenly punctured.
