Chapter 161 Zhang Baiyan visits and makes an agreement with Xue Xiang
At about one o'clock, Zhang Wanwan received a call from Zhang Baiyan just after she finished her meal. Hearing his serious tone on the phone, she did not dare to neglect it and quickly gave her address.
At about two o'clock, Zhang Baiyan and Xue Xiang appeared in her sight.
As soon as Xue Xiang entered the flower shop, he screamed exaggeratedly, "Oh my God! Is this really my sister's masterpiece? Unbelievable! What kind of peerless fairy is this? Fourth Brother, I have decided. I will follow my sister from now on!"
"Go to hell!" Zhang Baiyan kicked Xue Xiang and looked at Zhang Wanwan's shop. He had to say that the shop was indeed well run, especially the flowers and trees inside. Although he didn't know much, he could still appreciate them. These flowers and trees were indeed well maintained.
"Is this the result of your work during this period?" Zhang Baiyan asked seriously, the initial confusion and worry no longer in his voice.
"Yeah." Zhang Wanwan ran out of the cashier counter, brought out the rattan chair she made, and said with a wry smile, "I'm sorry, the store is a bit small, I can't accommodate you, there's only one chair, you guys can make do with it."
The two grown men looked at each other, disdaining each other. Xue Xiang took the lead and rocked the rattan chair comfortably and asked, "Sister, your store is good, but can you make money in such a place?"
This is also what Zhang Baiyan is worried about.
"Of course I can!" Zhang Wanwan said proudly, pointing to the empty spot on the flower stand with the mark of a flower pot on it and said, "See? It's only been two days since we opened, and I bought a pot of fragrant wood this morning, earning a thousand yuan. And the flowers outside are quite popular, and I can sell several hundred a day. The monthly rent for my store is 2,800 yuan, plus water and electricity, it's almost 3,000 yuan. Do you think I can run this business?"
Zhang Baiyan silently did some calculations. Apart from anything else, as long as he could sell more than 300 flowers a day, he could make 10,000 yuan a month. After deducting the purchase cost, he should be able to earn more than 5,000 yuan, which is indeed profitable.
Xue Xiang didn't think too much about it and exclaimed, "Sister, which fool spent a thousand to buy your fragrant wood? This is a flower and bird market. Do you believe me if I go out and buy you ten pots for a hundred yuan?"
Zhang Wanwan rolled her eyes at him. "Take a closer look. My store is full of treasures. Almost all the green plants are old, like the old plum tree, the old Osmanthus fragrans, etc. I also have a few old Thuja sutchuenensis plants here. Because they are expensive, I haven't put them out. I'll sell them after pruning them. There are also a lot of orchids on the shelves over there. They are all very healthy now. I'll move them out and sell them when they bloom! Tell me how much the things in my store are worth?"
Zhang Baiyan didn't understand this, but Xue Xiang's eyes widened in shock, "You really have so many good things here? Let me see!"
Zhang Baiyan saw his butt leave the chair and sat down on his own accord.
Xue Xiang looked at the flowers and trees in the store. His expression had changed. He stared at Zhang Wanwan eagerly and said, "Sister, I want to discuss something with you. Don't you have any cliff cypress here? Remember to notify me when you sell it. Also, if you have any high-quality orchids, please notify me first. To be honest, I have a relative who is considered my uncle. His family is powerful and influential. My parents work in the company that my uncle has made public. They have some power now. It's my uncle's birthday in a few months. My parents were still mumbling about what gift to give him that day. It just so happens that my uncle likes to appreciate flowers when he is old. The family even specially built a garden with all his treasures. No one can enter. If I find a gift that he likes from you, my parents will be happy too. Everyone will be happy, right?"
Zhang Wanwan nodded in agreement, then frowned slightly and said thoughtfully: "But Brother Xue, there is one thing I want you to be prepared for in advance. It is forbidden to cut down wild Thuja sutchuenensis, and I have wild ones here. This thing is not from a legitimate source. It is estimated that it came from the black market. Anyway, it has been changed hands several times and is now considered clean. Anyway, there is no problem to trace it to me, not to mention the buyer. However, when I saw it, the Thuja sutchuenensis was not in good condition, so I am still carefully raising it now. If you want to buy Thuja sutchuenensis, a pot will cost at least tens of thousands of yuan.
As for orchids, it is still unclear at the moment, and I don’t know what the orchids I have here will look like. You don’t like the ordinary ones, and the high-quality ones are not cheap. You should know this better than me.”
Zhang Baiyan's face twitched unconsciously when he heard that a pot of flowers and trees cost tens of thousands of yuan. He secretly glanced at Xue Xiang, but saw him nodding calmly, "This is what I should do. I can't give out something that is too cheap. My uncle has seen a lot of treasures. He can tell whether something is good or bad at a glance. If you really have it, you don't have to worry about it. Just tell me. Don't worry about the price. My parents don't lack it. Besides, if the gift is good, the benefits it brings to them will be far more than these tens of thousands of yuan. They won't feel bad."
Zhang Wanwan was relieved now, and said happily: "Then you decide when you want to call me again, and I can give you a definite answer then. If I start selling it before then, I will definitely notify you first."
"Deal!" Xue Xiang seemed to have finally gotten rid of a worry, and he was insanely happy.
Zhang Baiyan said, "Third brother, my sister helped you, why don't you help her too, she wants to buy a car."
"No problem! My sister's business is my business, leave it to me. I wonder what kind of car my sister wants?" Xue Xiang leaned against the cashier counter, his frivolous tone as if he was teasing a decent woman.
Zhang Wanwan had long been accustomed to his frivolousness. Without even raising her eyelids, she said, "I just want an ordinary scooter. A second-hand one is fine. It doesn't have to be too big. Of course, it would be better if I could put flowers and trees in the back."
After hearing Zhang Wanwan's request, Xue Xiang's brows gradually frowned, "Sister! According to your request, I think you are suitable for driving a small truck!"
Zhang Wanwan was stunned for a moment and fell into deep thought.
Zhang Baiyan spat at him, "What minivan? A girl should have a car anyway!"
“Actually, the minivan is pretty good too.”
"No!" Zhang Baiyan refused sternly.
Xue Xiang was helpless. "If you don't want a small truck, then buy an SUV. It has seven seats, and you can put things down in the back. It can be used for cargo. The body is relatively high, so it shouldn't be a problem to put flowers and trees. Of course, if you want to transport a fortune tree that's over one meter tall, I have no idea what to do."
Zhang Baiyan immediately decided: "Then buy an SUV!"
Zhang Wanwan's heart tightened, and she quickly refused, "This would be a serious overspending!"
