Jinjiang genuine version 28 (modified)
While Gao Yu was struck by the peach tree in the center, another expert, Yin Anping, began to inspect other ancient trees in the area.
The more he looked, the more frightened he became, because every ancient tree here was well taken care of, and did not have any of the common problems common to other ancient trees, such as hollow trunks, blackened and falling bark, and dry branches and leaves.
As a member of the ancient tree management department, he has actually always been troubled by the issue of ancient tree protection.
Although the government provides a certain amount of maintenance subsidies to people in the areas where the ancient trees are located every year, the people who take care of the ancient trees often do not have the relevant knowledge and are unable to carry out professional protection. Many times we have to wait for them to pass by, and by then it is basically too late.
Ancient trees are just like people. When they get old, they will have various problems. They must be discovered and repaired early, rather than waiting until they are too sick to be cured before undergoing emergency treatment.
This is true for the peach trees here, and also for the osmanthus trees that need to be introduced.
Originally, the superiors intended to reject the application for the relocation and protection of the ancient osmanthus trees.
That ancient tree is not an ordinary ancient tree. It is the 'Zhuangyuanhong' variety among the osmanthus trees, a precious variety among the osmanthus trees.
The tree is over 260 years old and more than 7 meters tall, breaking the record in "Osmanthus Atlas" that the height of osmanthus trees usually does not exceed 6 meters. It is a relatively precious and rare osmanthus tree.
It had already been badly damaged after one transplant, and a second transplant would be equivalent to further damaging it. If anything went wrong, they would have a hard time explaining it.
However, just two days ago, Yin Anping went to the nursery base as usual to rescue Dangui.
After arriving, he found that the ancient tree seemed to be in better condition than in the previous few days.
He thought it was an illusion, but when he dug up the soil at the roots and watered the blackened roots with "rooting powder", he suddenly found that the originally blackened roots were slowly recovering their original color and their water absorption efficiency was much higher than before.
Yin Anping was stunned for a moment, thinking that other more powerful experts had come when he was away.
But he has always been responsible for the management of this ancient tree...
Manager Luo provided timely assistance: "The director of Huajianji came here yesterday. She is the one who applied to relocate the ancient tree. She said that there is a way to restore this osmanthus tree to its original state. The boss also hopes that this osmanthus tree will be moved to a better environment."
"She has come here three times now. Each time she came specifically to see this ancient tree. She is very attentive."
"You know more than me. Don't you think this osmanthus tree is much better than before? He is the director of the botanical garden and a professional like you."
Retracting his thoughts, Yin Anping looked at the Acer palmatum in front of him.
The Japanese maple is a small deciduous tree of the Sapindaceae family. Its branches are mostly forked and spread out, making it look very lush.
It gets its name from the shape of its leaves which resemble chicken feet. They begin to turn red in autumn, and this one has now turned completely red.
Its color is very bright red, much more intense than that of ordinary maple trees. From a distance it looks like a fiery red, even a little purple, giving people an excellent visual effect.
Looking closely, each leaf is evenly colored without any impurities, and has a perfect shape. It is beautiful enough whether in close or distant views.
It looks full of vitality at first glance.
Look at the ginkgo trees next to it. They are more than ten meters tall, with a chest diameter of more than 70 centimeters. They stand on both sides, one on the left and one on the right, like two giant umbrellas held above their heads, with huge crowns.
The fruits of the female plants are almost ripe and hang heavily on the branches. The fruit set rate is astonishing, even bending the branches a little.
It is expected that a large number of fully ripe ginkgo fruits will be harvested next month.
The condition is not very good.
The two of them checked the ancient trees one by one and no longer had any doubts in their hearts.
The soil on the ground is fertile enough, and various protective facilities are complete, including guardrails, special support frames for tree trunks, drainage facilities, branch spray equipment, etc., and there are professional personnel to carry out maintenance.
Even their ancient tree protection departments cannot do better than Huajianji.
What's more, they should learn some ancient tree maintenance techniques from Huajianji. After all, the ancient trees in people's gardens are much better maintained than theirs.
Especially the peach tree, it is like an old tree welcoming spring and is about to be reborn.
Before Gao Yu left, he looked up at the peach tree and sighed softly: "Spring is coming for the old tree..."
Peach Tree: “…”
Its incredulous voice rang in Ye Han's ears: "What do you mean, who is the old tree referring to? - Me?!"
The peach tree was so angry that its branches and leaves began to tremble. It said to Gao Yu, "Are you blind? I am old? You are old, your whole family is old, and I am still young!"
Unfortunately, the person he insulted had already turned and left, leaving only his back. Naturally, he did not see the peach tree behind him that was about to develop Parkinson's disease.
Ye Han couldn't help but smile, his almond eyes curved: "I know, the young master is still young, only eighteen years old."
The peach tree immediately stopped shaking, and said in a slightly embarrassed voice: "Not that young..."
Then he began to hum again: "Humph, you are still good at talking, unlike that troublemaker just now, who has no tact at all."
Ye Han readily complimented him: "...Thank you for the compliment, Master."
After leaving the ancient tree area, everyone went to see the double-headed lotus pods produced by the twin lotus.
Except for the one that is still on the pedicel, the other seven lotus pods are preserved intact.
Except that the edges of the lotus pod are a little withered, the lotus seeds inside are plump and round, and there are more than twenty of them, which means that each double-headed lotus pod has nearly 50 lotus seeds.
There are many of them, they are large in size, and each one is full of activity.
If you use it for planting, the survival rate will definitely be very high.
Dr. Hou picked up these large and plump double-headed lotus pods and looked at them one by one, already planning in his mind which one to choose and how to take them back.
It is said that there are four varieties among the eight lotus pods, including single-petal, double-petal, and bowl-shaped lotus.
Then bring at least one of each back home.
The more Dr. Hou thought about it, the more impatient he became. After returning, he would immediately write a research report and apply to speed up the cooperation process.
A few days after the visit, the applications for relocation of ancient trees and introduction of nationally protected plants were approved one after another.
When transplanting the osmanthus fragrans, Ye Han was present in person and instructed the workers to dig outside the protected area and to dig deeper to avoid damaging its root system.
After watering with plant nutrient solution over the past few days, new roots of the osmanthus plant have slowly grown out and are deeper than before, so special attention must be paid when transplanting.
When the 260-year-old 'Zhuangyuanhong' osmanthus tree was finally successfully transplanted to the center of the osmanthus garden, Ye Han promptly watered it with nutrient solution and sprayed water mist on not only the roots but also the branches and leaves.
At the same time, we built protective fences around it, loosened the soil and maintained its fertility, striving to create the best environment for it.
Once everything is ready, all you need to do is maintain it properly.
After the garden closed, Ye Han used the golden finger on the osmanthus plant to see if there was any problem.
Dan Gui: "I've changed to a new environment again. This time the environment is quite good, the soil is deep and fertile, worthy of my noble status."
"Just wait, in half a month I will be the most beautiful flower in the village again~ So beautiful~~"
He seemed to be in a good mood, which made Ye Han feel relieved.
She went to see the Epiphyllums displayed in the Chrysanthemum Hall and used the golden finger on the largest pot of Epiphyllums with fine leaves, which was more than 2 meters tall.
Epiphyllum scutellariae: "Beauty under the moon... Hey, your grandfather came from the desert, do you understand? It's so hot there that you're afraid of being sunburned if you want to bloom. If you don't believe me, come to the desert and try it."
Ye Han: “…”
For some reason, her filter for the beauty under the moon was shattered.
Ye Han used the golden finger on another Epiphyllum.
She thought: 'Not every Epiphyllum has this kind of personality, it's quite... heroic.'
Large-leaf Epiphyllum: "It has been trying very hard to absorb nutrients recently. It seems to be blooming. It didn't bloom last year... It takes a lot of effort to bloom."
Ye Han: ...I was actually cheated.
She remembered that the flower seller swore that this plant had bloomed last year and even showed her a photo.
But this kind of thing is indeed difficult to confirm.
I should bring earplugs next time.
Ye Han looked at the branches and leaves hanging from the edge of the flower bed. They were very lush and growing very well.
As for flowering, let's wait and see. They will bloom one after another after the tourists arrive.
During this period, reduce the amount of nutrient solution you use on them and use it in more important places.
After all, there is really not much plant nutrient solution left.
Thinking of this, Ye Han couldn't help but feel a sense of urgency in his heart. He had to hurry up and complete the task.
I hope the two PhDs from the institute will contact her as soon as possible.
Time passed quickly. Ten days had passed by the time more than 200 osmanthus trees were transplanted, various flowers were planted in batches on both sides of the road and near the lawn, and all the procedures were completed.
In mid-to-late September, as the temperature gradually dropped, dozens of the first transplanted osmanthus trees began to bloom one after another.
Clusters of golden osmanthus flowers hang on the branches, golden and filled with sweet osmanthus fragrance, replacing the withering lotus flowers and becoming a major spectacle of autumn.
However, at this time, the number of tourists in Huajianji was much less than before.
The total number of tourists this week hit a record low, with an average of less than 500 people on weekdays and about 900 people on weekends, in stark contrast to the influx of tourists some time ago.
Liu Yi and others were a little uncomfortable, and their daily work became less busy.
In fact, this is normal.
The summer vacation has just ended and next month is the National Day Golden Week. This period of time happens to be a time when there is a gap between the harvest season and the harvest season, so naturally there is not much traffic.
The large number of tourists in Huajianji before was mainly due to the effects of publicity and hot searches. Now that the popularity has passed, the decline in the flow of people is reasonable.
During the evening dinner, Liu Yi talked about the National Forest Park nearby: "When I passed by today, I saw them moving chrysanthemums, probably for exhibition.
There are so many chrysanthemums, all in different colors, some are very beautiful, and some have gradient colors.”
At this point, she was a little worried, "Director, when they hold the chrysanthemum exhibition, won't it attract all the tourists? What should we do then?"
She really likes Huajianji and doesn’t want such a beautiful scenery to go unappreciated.
Wang Yun paused while picking up the food and frowned slightly.
Liu Yi might have just graduated and lacked some social skills. She shouldn't have said these things when everyone was around. It would have discouraged the employees and also cast doubt on the future development of Huajianji.
Ye Han smiled at her reassuringly: "No. We are not in competition with the Forest Park. We have different focuses and the scenery does not overlap.
Don't worry, there will be tourists once the pavilion is built, I guarantee it."
Everyone was convinced by her few words and soon became excited.
After going through so many things, they had a blind trust in Ye Han and knew it was right to listen to the headmaster.
Wang Yun glanced at the crowd that had resumed their laughter and joy, and felt a little sad.
It seems that the company's core cohesion is very high and she doesn't have to worry at all.
However, the mention of the decline in traffic reminded Ye Han of applying for an annual pass.
Now is the perfect time to get started.
She had been so busy lately that she almost forgot.
Ye Han discussed this matter with Wang Yun.
The first is the format of the annual pass.
There are generally two types: physical cards and electronic cards.
Relatively speaking, electronic cards are more convenient and do not need to be carried with you. After authentication, you can simply scan the QR code on your mobile phone to enter the park.
However, physical cards need to be produced separately, which includes design fees and card-making fees, and the cost is higher.
If you are making physical cards, you will need to make more at one time to spread the cost.
Then comes quantity.
Ye Han had previously asked Liu Yi and Qian Ranran to count the number of people who bought tickets repeatedly. At that time, the number of people counted was more than 5,000, and half of them had bought tickets more than twice.
However, it cannot be ruled out that the number of people may decrease as the popularity decreases, or that they may stop purchasing due to reasons such as the location being far away.
Ye Han plans to issue 2,000 copies in the first batch and then see the market feedback before continuing.
Finally, the price.
The annual tourist pass for W City is 200 yuan, covering 16 4A/5A scenic spots with diverse scenery; Huajianji is issued separately and certainly cannot exceed this price.
But pricing too low is not a good option either.
Currently, Huajianji is still in its early stages and the ticket price is 30 yuan.
After we build a 2,000-square-meter exhibition greenhouse, expand the botanical garden, introduce a variety of plant species, and create more special attractions, the price will definitely increase, for example, from 30 yuan to 40-50 yuan.
Once the annual pass is issued, the price cannot be changed.
Although Huajianji is not as famous as major national tourist attractions, the bamboo forest, Victoria amazonica viewing area, glass greenhouse and other scenery in the park are also unique and cannot be imitated by any other scenic spot.
Ye Han thought about it and felt that this was a big deal and it was not easy to decide casually, so he still had to ask the employees of Huajianji.
Wang Yun smiled helplessly: "I won't participate. I think the price I mentioned is not acceptable to most people."
Wang Yun is a loyal supporter of Huajianji.
This place helped her relieve her depression, and she even felt it was a great opportunity when she heard that they were recruiting people and volunteered to take a pay cut to work here.
Each time she goes for psychological counseling or an essential oil SPA, it costs her several hundred yuan, which adds up to five to six thousand yuan in half a year. But she still thinks the effect here is good, and she rarely goes there now.
So, Ye Han asked this question in the group.
——If it were you, how much would you be willing to pay for an annual pass?
Liu Yi was the first to reply after seeing the message: "Annual pass, after getting it, you can come here as often as you want for a year, right?"
Liu Yi: "Then... it should be fine as long as it doesn't exceed 500 yuan."
If you come four times a month, the ticket price is 120 yuan; for 12 months, let's say 10 months, the total is 1,200 yuan.
500 yuan is even lower than half price.
Wang Hongnian: "300 is about right. I don't spend a lot, so 500 is a bit expensive."
Liu Chunling: "Of course it's not possible for people of our class, but think about it, can tourists be the same as us? Many of them come here by private car, so they don't need this little money.
I think 500 is fine, let’s just go with 600 for good luck.”
Ye Han felt that everyone was a little too picky about the filters on "Flower Collection", so after asking around, he found out that 300 yuan was the lowest price.
This was really beyond her expectations.
After all, the annual tourist pass for W City is only 200 yuan.
Huajianji has only been open for two months and is still in its early stages, when it needs to build up its reputation. Ye Han is a little worried that the high prices will leave a bad impression on tourists.
Wang Yun doesn't think so.
Wang Yun: "Director, actually we don't need to compare with the United Annual Card.
Those tourists apply for travel cards just for convenience and may not visit each attraction twice, but we are different. Our repurchase rate is very high.”
“Huajianji is the only scenic spot in W City that has been asking for annual passes shortly after its opening, which shows that many tourists have this demand, which is almost an urgent need.
Whether from the perspective of profit or future development, the price cannot be too low.”
After listening to this, Ye Han felt that it made sense. She had indeed fallen into the misunderstanding of comparison.
The two discussed for an entire afternoon and finally came up with a specific plan.
Huajianji is planning to launch two levels of annual cards, namely ordinary cards and VIP cards.
Ordinary card: 238 yuan (ten times)
This price is more suitable for some office workers, and the number of times is relatively sufficient.
After the ticket price increases, the discount will be around 50% off.
VIP card: 598 yuan.
This card has no limit on the number of times used and enjoys the privilege of 'skipping the queue' during the peak season. A separate gate will be opened for these tourists to enter the park.
In this way, both general customers and "rich" customers can be taken into account, and everyone can choose an annual card that suits them.
Other employees also thought this was a good idea, so it was decided.
By the time the design and card making are completed, it is basically October.
By that time, the exhibition greenhouse had been completed, and the unique landscape of "ephemeral" would be the main attraction, which would be a good opportunity for publicity.
Ye Han handed the matter over to Wang Yun, and Liu Yi assisted from the side and provided some relevant materials.
She hopes to find a more experienced designer who can design the physical cards to be more beautiful, especially the VIP cards.
Be sure to make it in the style of Huajianji, exquisite and beautiful, so that people will feel that the card is worth the money as soon as they see it.
After returning, Dr. Hou wrote a research report overnight - on the quality of the plants in Huajianji and the properties of the giant water lily, and he did not rest until two in the morning.
He is anxious.
Not only did they want to get the Victoria amazonica sample as soon as possible, they were also worried that other departments would cooperate with Huajianji before them.
Scarcity makes things valuable. There is only one Victoria amazonica plant in the country with a leaf diameter of more than 3 meters. It has extremely high scientific research value and introduction and cultivation value, and people will definitely scramble for it.
His research report will be submitted tomorrow, and there will be no problem in the plant exchange and cooperation between the institute and Huajianji. The biggest difficulty is the types of plants to be exchanged.
The institute does have many plant varieties, and even a huge plant seed gene bank, but if it wants to make an equal exchange with Victoria amazonica and satisfy Huajianji, it will definitely need carefully developed new varieties.
Otherwise, we can just directly introduce the existing Huajianji varieties on the market. Is it necessary to cooperate with the research institute?
Dr. Hou went to the coffee machine and made a cup of American coffee, frowning slightly as he drank it.
The new varieties developed are not owned by him and Dr. Wang alone, but are the result of the joint efforts of everyone in the institute.
New products that have just been developed, such as 'Jiang Fuqiu' and 'Zao Baixue' among the autumn lotus, and 'Canjin' and 'Siam Purple No. 1 and No. 2' among the cold-resistant water lilies, are, as usual, prepared to be taken to the W City 4A-level botanical garden for a pilot project.
The W City Botanical Garden covers an area of more than 2,000 acres and has a standardized breeding base and scientific research center. In this regard, Huajianji is far behind.
But in terms of the state of the plants, he thinks Huajianji is more powerful.
Dr. Hou took off his glasses and wiped the lenses that were steaming with heat with a tissue. No matter what, he would try his best.
To collect samples of Victoria regia and Twin Lotus, at least two rare varieties must be applied for, and the others can be received by W City Botanical Garden.
On September 24, one week after the last inspection, Dr. Hou, Dr. Wang and two graduate assistants came to Huajianji again.
Ye Han also breathed a sigh of relief.
Although she has been in contact with the two doctors recently, and Dr. Hou even came to Huajianji for a second supplementary inspection, the other party still cannot guarantee that she will be able to apply for the qualification to introduce new varieties.
However, considering the rarity of the giant Victoria amazonica, it is likely possible.
The result was just as they expected.
Dr. Wang smiled and showed her the bright red stamp: "The application has been approved. The provincial leaders attach great importance to it and have approved the two most precious varieties for you."
"One of them is the new variety of cold-resistant water lily, 'Brilliant', which I mentioned to you before. It has multi-colored flowers and is rated as excellent. Another one is a new hybrid orchid, 'Central African Comet Orchid'.
Its mother is a descendant of the famous 'Darwin Orchid', and its father is the stemless comet orchid, a native African species. It took us four years to cultivate it, and it is very precious."
Dr. Wang handed the information to Ye Han: "Take it and have a look first. These two new varieties have high requirements for the environment.
Hardy water lilies can survive the winter, but it takes some effort to make them bloom beautifully. Comet orchids are even more difficult to grow. They are native to tropical Africa, and it was very difficult to introduce them. They must be carefully cultivated in a greenhouse.
Ye Han reached out to take the information, flipped through it briefly, and got a general idea in his mind.
She understands the difficulty of training.
The new variety was developed by the research institute not long ago. Although it has undergone a series of tests, it has not been planted in large quantities. It is possible that it may not adapt to the local climate or wilt in the beginning.
However, she was somewhat surprised that among the introduced species there were orchid varieties.
Darwin orchid, Ye Han had seen it when he was reading information related to plants.
It is also called the long-spur comet orchid. It is an epiphytic orchid unique to Madagascar and the plant with the longest spur, with a spur length (the long tendrils under the orchid) of 25-40 cm, the longest in the world.
When Darwin saw this orchid in 1862, he predicted that it would have a long-beaked pollinator to match.
This long-beaked hawk moth was found in Madagascar 21 years after Darwin's death (in 1903), which is also one of the famous predictions of the theory of evolution.
Therefore, this orchid was named 'Darwin Orchid'.
Darwin orchids are very rare in China, and only a few botanical gardens have them, such as the National Botanical Gardens. Apart from that, they can only be seen at international orchid exhibitions.
The mother plant of this 'Central African Comet Orchid' is a descendant of the 'Darwin Orchid', which means it is also very precious.
Dr. Hou: "We are here to collect samples today. The new varieties will be planted under the guidance of experts in a few days."
Ye Han held the thin information in his hand and smiled brightly: "Okay, Huajianji is looking forward to the arrival of the experts."
As requested by everyone, the price of the annual pass has been changed. Bobo~
Note ①: The information about Darwin Orchid is extracted from the Internet. The new orchid variety was originally named "Central African Keynote" Comet Orchid and was independently cultivated by Shanghai Chenshan Botanical Garden.
