Chen Xia came out this time with the intention of spending a lot of money.
Purchasing wild ginseng is one of the goals, but time is limited and there is no time to go to ginseng cooperatives in other counties and cities to purchase it.
On the tenth day of the first lunar month, the half-month holiday was about to end. Gu Wei took his children and left his hometown to return to their respective jobs.
The family parted ways in Huanglong City, the capital of Lingji Province.
Dean Gu and his mother flew directly from Huanglong to Lin'an because they had the certificate.
Because his father-in-law is a division commander, my brother-in-law Gu Zhongguo can also take a plane from Huanglong to the capital and then transfer to Guangzhou.
Only my brother-in-law Gu Zhongjun had to fly to Lin'an with his parents, and then take a train from Lin'an to Xiangsha City. This time they rushed and arrived at the army just before the end of the holiday.
Chen Xia and Gu Lin, on the other hand, will enjoy their own world of two and go on their "honeymoon trip" alone.
The two of them planned to take a train from Huanglong City to the capital, play in the capital for a few days and then return to Yuezhou.
Comrade Lao Gu was not at all worried about his son-in-law who was so extraordinary. He just said, "Be careful and come back early. I have arranged a position for you in the emergency department."
As for the issue of excessive vacation time, well, he's the dean, and his son-in-law is a section chief. Don't they have even a little dignity? If it's really not okay, just deduct their salary. Can they even fire them?
Anyway, it seems that it has become commonplace for Comrade Chen Xia to have his salary deducted.
Chen Xia and Gu Lin came out of the airport, smiled at each other excitedly, and took a taxi at a high price from the airport to the Huanglong Hotel.
The newlyweds had endured ten days and were now free in a strange city. They decided to have a good fight of three hundred rounds, not leaving the hotel for two days and two nights, determined to determine the winner.
(Author’s note: It’s great to be young. When I was young, I also had sex seven times a night…)
Two days later, someone walked out of the hotel slowly, one hand on his waist and the other on the wall, muttering to himself as he walked:
"It's true that there are only cows that die of exhaustion, but no fields that are plowed to death."
After the battle, Gu Lin prepared to have a good sleep, while Chen Xia was going to Huanglong City to look for his second plan to make money in the north.
Clivia.
The Clivia incident was a very famous incident in the 1980s. It was a must-have in all time-travel novels, and it also left a deep impression on Chen Xia.
It was really because the Clivia bubble was so huge back then that as long as you had the foresight, making money was just like picking up money, without any effort at all.
What are those real estate speculation groups in later generations? They are not as crazy as those who speculate on Clivia.
How crazy could it be? A pot of high-quality Clivia that cost a few hundred yuan could be sold for over 100,000 yuan at its peak in 1985.
When the hype reached its peak, a Hong Kong businessman wanted to exchange a Crown car for a pot of Clivia, but the owner refused to sell it.
Even if it doesn't reach hundreds of thousands, it is easy to sell a good quality Clivia for tens of thousands per pot.
There was also a true story at that time about a man who was selling a pot of Clivia. As he walked from one end of the street to the other, the price tripled.
Think about it, how much did an ordinary worker in Huanglong City earn in a year? At most, it was only a little over 1,000 yuan. It was really crazy.
After paying for the pharmaceutical factory project and the ginseng purchase, Chen Xia only has a little over 500,000 yuan in cash. Some readers still don't believe how Chen Xia could have made so much money. How could he have been so wealthy back then?
But think about it again, with more than 500,000 RMB, you can only buy 5 or 6 pots of Clivia. Is this a lot of money?
So readers should not underestimate the 1980s. The country was really poor and the people really had no money, but there was still a large group of invisible rich people hiding under the surface, keeping silent and finally making a big splash.
It can be seen from the Clivia incident that there are really a lot of rich people. Tens of thousands of dollars are nothing to them. When the hype was at its craziest, some people invested conservatively several million yuan.
Chen Xia even wondered if they were also reborn? How could they be richer than him, a genuine reborn person?
Chen Xia also didn't know much about Clivia. His old man raised a few pots after he retired, and he also heard the old man tell the crazy story of Huanglong Clivia.
Although we have returned to the 1980s, we are still in the dark.
For example, how many varieties of Clivia are there? How can you tell the good from the bad?
The key point is, where can I buy Clivia now?
You can't just wander around the entire city, right? This is the provincial capital after all. If you, a small-time section chief from another province, wander around everywhere, the neighborhood committee lady will teach you a lesson in a minute.
But Chen Xia also had his own old way. He left the hotel and called a rickshaw. The rickshaw drivers were all local bosses. They knew everything that was going on in the streets and alleys.
"Master, I have a question. Where can I buy Clivia here?"
"Oh, there are so many places here. They're selling it near the train station, Chaoyang Park, Laoquanlou, Guangfu Road, Yongchun Road, Hongqi Street, Wanbao Street, and Qinghua Road. Where exactly are you going?"
Chen Xia thought for a moment and said, "I want to buy the best Clivia. Where do you think I can buy it?"
"If you're closer, go to Chaoyang Park. People trade there every day, and it's become a spontaneous market. Why don't you go and take a look? If it doesn't work out, you can find another place."
"I'll listen to you and go to Chaoyang Park."
As soon as Chen Xia got off the tricycle and entered Chaoyang Park, his eyes lit up.
Even the coldest weather could not stop those Clivia lovers. Here, there were people wearing cotton jackets and chatting while breathing in the warm air. Many of them held pots of Clivia in their hands or placed them at their feet.
Chen Xia was wearing a long black down jacket that went below the knees, with a camera hanging on the front, pretending to be a rich man. Who would care about him if he was dressed in rags?
So when he kept getting closer to the crowd, listening to those Clivia fans chatting and learning some Clivia knowledge by the way, everyone looked at him without any disgust, just thinking he was some rich young man.
People in the north may be more enthusiastic by nature. When they saw a young man wandering around with his head in his eyes and squatting down from time to time to study something, they pulled him over.
"Hey, young man, where are you from? You don't look familiar."
Chen Xia didn't want to reveal his true identity, so he joked, "Hello, uncle, I'm from Hong Kong."
Someone in the crowd shouted, "Hey, you're from Hong Kong, you speak Mandarin pretty well."
"No, no, I just moved here. How could I possibly forget Mandarin?"
"Young man, do you want to buy Clivia?"
Okay, the supporting actor appeared, and Chen Xia quickly continued: "Yes, my elderly family loves Clivia very much, so I want to buy some to take home to honor them. Can you uncles help me understand it? I don't understand it at all."
The group of onlookers were bored and all wanted to teach others, so they all started to talk at once to help Chen Xia understand science.
