Since the price of tulips exceeded 1500, it has never fallen below that level. For two consecutive months, the market price fluctuated between 1500 and 1600.
After calculating the profits she would get from selling the flowers, Christie was so shocked that she was speechless for a long time.
Once again, she discovered that the system was right.
There is nothing to do except wait patiently.
If I had not listened to the system's advice a few months ago and hastily signed the contract, I would have no place to cry now - the tulips, which are currently priced at 1,500, were transferred at a price of 1,180, which is equivalent to giving the opportunity to make a fortune to others!
How many times can a person get the chance to become rich overnight? Because of a wrong decision, she almost missed it.
With this in mind, Christie was cautious and called the system for consultation, "Yunluo, the flowers in the flower field are about to bloom, what should we do next?"
The man in a suit appeared and calmly answered, "Tulips usually bloom in March and April. It takes about a week from blooming to withering. Now is the right time to sell them."
"Who should I sell it to? Will it be unsalable because it is an ordinary variety?" It was Christie's first time doing business, and she was always worried.
Yun Luo: “No.”
Yun Luo: "Tulips are usually propagated by dividing bulbs. If you plant large bulbs with sufficient nutrients, they will bloom in the same year. If they are small bulbs, they need to be maintained for one or two years before they can bloom."
Yun Luo: "Tulips have only been introduced to the area a few years ago. Due to the restrictions on their propagation methods, the number of flowers that bloom each year is quite limited."
Yun Luo: "Scarcity makes things valuable. Supply is far from meeting demand. This is a seller's market."
"What is a seller's market?" Christie wondered.
The system often spouted some terms that she didn't understand, which troubled her greatly. She could only develop a studious spirit, get to the bottom of it, and ask for clarification.
Yun Luo: “For example, you need to sell 10 tulips, but there are 100 people in the market who want to buy them.”
"In order to grab the goods, they will compete to buy them, and some are even willing to increase their bids."
"In this case, it is the buyers who need to worry. Competition is too fierce and it is not easy to grab a spot. Sellers don't need to worry, as the goods will not be left on their hands unless they are reluctant to sell them."
Worries disappear, and new questions arise.
Christie was puzzled. "If the situation is as you expected, won't the price of tulips be even higher in a few days?"
Yun Luo: "It's possible, but I don't recommend postponing the sale plan."
Yun Luo: "I can see that the price of tulips will rise sharply in the next year, but I can't say for sure whether the price of tulips will rise or fall in the next two weeks."
Yun Luo: "The shorter the time, the closer the price is to disorderly changes."
Yun Luo: "When investing, greed is a taboo, so quit when you're ahead."
Christie was a little at a loss. "Recently, the price of tulips has been fluctuating in a new range. I just wanted to pick a good time..."
Yun Luo: "What you need to grasp is the general trend. For example, the price of tulips has soared from less than 1,100 to 1,500. The fluctuations in recent days can be ignored. As long as you want to sell, no matter the current price of tulips is 1,560, 1,570 or 1,580, you should sell without hesitation."
"Okay." Christie gave in. "I'll listen to you."
**
In the flower fields, tulips are in full bloom.
Although it was only the first year of planting, the gardener took good care of it and did not dare to neglect it at all. By mid-March, a large sea of flowers swayed in the wind, and the scene was truly spectacular.
Christie was about to order the servants to harvest, but the housekeeper found her and said, "Miss, the master is waiting for you in the study. He said he has something to discuss with you."
Christie, "?"
My father always makes his own decisions. When has he ever consulted her?
With some confusion, Christie went to the study.
Knock on the door and enter.
"Father." Christie greeted.
Kane smiled gently and said, "Sit down."
Christie sat down on the sofa. "I heard from the housekeeper that you called me here specially? What's the matter?"
"It's for the tulips planted in the flower fields," Kane admitted. "I went to see them myself. The bulbs are planted very well and the flowers are very beautiful."
"It's all thanks to the gardener," Christie said without taking credit for it.
Kane shook his head. "If you hadn't decided to buy back the tulip bulbs, no matter how skilled the gardener was, he wouldn't have been able to grow a sea of tulips."
The existence of the system was not convenient for anyone other than herself to be informed, so Christie only said, "I saw that the nobles loved tulips very much, so I bought some bulbs to plant. I didn't expect that I made the right purchase. In recent months, the price of tulips has been rising."
Hearing this, Kane was even more pleased, "Dad is very happy that you have such vision."
He paused for a moment, carefully choosing his words, and then said, "In fact, the reason I asked you to come here this time is to ask if you plan to sell these tulips."
Christie nodded. "It's already the flowering season, the flowers are in full bloom, and I'm just worried about how to sell them."
Kane asked, "How are you going to sell it?"
Christie replied, "You can set up a small stall or open a flower shop. It would be even better if there are merchants willing to accept these goods."
Kane laughed, "What a coincidence! A noble heard that our family grows tulips and wants to buy them in bulk."
Christie hesitated, "The ones at home are just ordinary breeds... If they were nobles, would they not be impressed?"
"It seems you haven't figured out the current situation." Kane said word by word with a serious expression, "Nowadays, even nobles find it difficult to buy tulips."
"On the one hand, this thing is precious and expensive, and most people can't afford it. On the other hand, the quantity is really rare. Not to mention the rare ones, even the common ones are hard to come by!"
"Now in the aristocratic circle, everyone is proud to own tulips. If someone wears tulips to a banquet, the guests will think highly of him/her."
"Money is easy to come by, but tulips are hard to come by. Do you understand what I mean?"
Christie's eyes showed a thoughtful look. "It seems that tulips have become a luxury that you can't necessarily buy even if you have money. They have led to a new trend and are more popular than expected."
Kane laughed heartily, "You're right."
"If the other party is willing to trade, I have no objection." Christie asked again, "What price do you plan to offer?"
"Land, jewels, invitations to banquets," Kane said.
Christie was slightly startled.
In the past, her family had numerous fields and she often attended banquets of the nobility/rich.
Ever since her father acted as a guarantor for a friend and almost bankrupted the family, she has never received a similar invitation again.
Now when I suddenly hear my father mention it, I can't help but feel as if I was in a different world.
After calming down, Christie said, "Land, jewelry, and money are all fine, but forget about the invitation to the banquet."
In order to buy tulip bulbs, she traded all her jewelry.
In addition, her family had fallen into poverty, and none of her former friends had contacted her. If they ran into each other at a party, it would be awkward for both of them.
Kane corrected with a straight face, "Land, jewels, and coins don't matter, but I must get the invitation to the banquet!"
Christie: “I don’t want to go.”
"You have to go." Kane said earnestly, "Only by attending more banquets can you meet better people."
Christie: I don’t want to know her.
The next second, Kane changed the subject and said, "There, there are opportunities to meet potential customers and suitable trading partners."
"I heard that some businessmen have cultivated rare tulips with unique colors that are unparalleled!"
"There are also merchants who pay a lot of money to buy tulips, but because they have no connections, they can't spend the money."
Christie, "..."
Christie: "I'll go."
**
Three days later, a noble lady came to the door.
Most of the bulbs planted in the flower fields have already bloomed, with only a few still in bud.
The lady waved her hand and bought all the blooming tulips in one go.
Not only was the transaction sold at market price, the land given was all good farmland, and the jewellery given was finely crafted and of extraordinary quality.
"Ma'am, this is so precious." Christie was flattered.
"Take it." The lady patted the back of Christie's hand and said kindly, "I'm going to hold a banquet in a few days, and I'm worried about not being able to find enough tulips. You've helped me a lot!"
It sounds like all the tulips will be used at once.
Christie didn't show it on her face, but she was shocked in her heart - what a big deal.
As she spoke, the lady handed out an invitation, "The banquet will be in two days, you must come."
After giving her instructions, she left with tulips, feeling satisfied.
Christie glanced at the invitation and exclaimed, "She's the Duchess?!"
What does it mean to be rich?
When others can't even afford a single tulip, some people buy dozens at once. That's called being rich.
In addition, her husband holds the title of Duke and is of noble status. How grand would a banquet like this be?
Christie thought hard, but found that she couldn't imagine it.
"Miss, don't worry too much. You are a distinguished guest invited by the Duchess herself!" the maid comforted.
Christie thought, what kind of distinguished guest is she? She is just a forced relationship in the tulip trade.
Seeing her master bowed her head and said nothing, the maid continued, "I heard that the price of tulips will continue to rise. The Duchess bought so many flowers from you, but she got a great deal! You will definitely not be embarrassed when you go to the banquet."
"The price of tulips will continue to rise? Who told you that?" Christie's focus was off.
The maid was a little overwhelmed, "Everyone says so."
Christie asked, "Why?"
In her opinion, the price of tulips had risen too high and should have come down long ago.
The maid thought for a moment before saying, "When tulips were first introduced, many people had never heard of them, nor had they ever seen them."
"In recent years, more and more nobles have become fond of tulips, and more and more people are willing to buy them."
"But the tulip production is so low that many people want to buy but can't. I think it's normal for prices to continue to rise as the commodity is in great demand."
Christie disagrees. "No matter how much they are snatched up, there should be a limit. The price of tulips has risen from 1,020 to 1,580. It is already too high. It is impossible for it to rise to the sky."
"1580, is that a high price?" The maid looked confused. "It is said that many merchants, with money in their hands, cannot buy tulips and tulip bulbs."
"If these people had access, they would buy it without hesitation."
"Looking at it this way, 1580 is not expensive at all."
In less than a year, the price has increased from 1020 to 1580, an increase of about 55%. Isn’t that expensive?
Christie was speechless.
March 6, 755, sunny
Nearly 80% of the tulips in the flower field were sold at a price of 1,580 today, and the money spent on the bulbs has basically been recovered.
The maid said that 1580 tulips were not expensive. I thought it was ridiculous at first, but after thinking about it again, I found it made sense. As more and more people wanted to buy tulips, it was natural that the price would rise.
But, what is expensive and what is cheap? I can no longer tell...
The author has something to say:
What is a seller's market?
For example, a batch of medical masks/84 disinfectant arrived at the pharmacy, and everyone lined up to buy them.
Let’s take another example: vendors selling vegetables in the market recently.

Why is moonlight a bad habit?
We were supposed to go back to work on January 30th, but now the holiday has been extended and we will go back to work on February 3rd.
Those who have savings take the opportunity to take a vacation and relax. Those who don’t have savings start to worry about what to do if the vacation is extended or their salary is reduced next month.
I'm not trying to deliberately sell anxiety, but Moonlight really can't withstand any accidents.
