In China, orchids have been very valuable ornamental plants since ancient times. People buy them for prices ranging from hundreds of thousands to millions or even tens of millions. Attracted by the huge profits, many people grow orchids, but very few can grow top-quality orchids. One reason is that mutants are difficult to find, and the other is that orchids are too delicate and difficult to care for.
Anyone who has watched the show "The Naughty Kid at Home" knows that Bai Zhilan's mother grows orchids, but in the last live broadcast, she did not mention a word about her occupation, so the audience had no idea about this. Flower growers are just like farmers working in the fields. How much money can they make?
However, now that they opened the link sent by the kind-hearted netizen, they finally understood one thing - the profession of flower grower is not ordinary at all, and if they do well, let alone earning millions a year, even earning tens or hundreds of millions a year is not a dream.
The cameraman took several close-ups of the broken flowerpots. In the 4K ultra-high-definition images, the characteristics of the orchids were clearly visible. A kind-hearted netizen took a screenshot and provided scientific information: [Look at this orchid, the flower shape is lotus petals, plain white, with yellow stamens, and a short plant. It must be the "Suguan Lotus Ding" without a doubt, a rare treasure among orchid species, and was sold at a high price of 15 million at the 20XX Asia Pacific Flower Show. The picture below is the Suguan Lotus flower that was sold that year. It is not as pure in color and elegant in shape as the one grown by Bai Ma. Even people who don't know much about orchids can easily tell the difference between the two. So if the orchid grown by Bai Ma were sold on the market, the price would only be high, not low. 】
[Look at this orchid again. It has standard round-headed lotus petals and a very strong plant. It is dwarf, yellow, and white in color. It is very rare in the market. The estimated value is definitely not worse than the white-crowned lotus flower just now. Not to mention 20 million, it can always be worth 16 million. 】
[Let’s take a look at the last one. This one is amazing. I almost screamed when I first saw it. Its leaves have degenerated, and the roots are like a ribbon, entwined around the dead branches in the flowerpot. A pale white flower blooms at the top of the stem, swaying left and right in the wind. The flower shape is gorgeous and ethereal. At first glance, does it look like a ghost? That’s right, because its name is “ghost orchid”. It only grows in the wild and is difficult to cultivate artificially. Since it was discovered, no artificially cultivated ghost orchid has been sold on the market, so I have no way of evaluating its price! ! ! ! 】
The netizen excitedly tapped on the keyboard: [To sum up, the three pots of flowers broken by An Zishi are conservatively estimated to be worth at least 40 million, which is higher than the salary of a top-tier movie star. If An Zishi's fans are willing to pay compensation, please start crowdfunding now. Perhaps in a dozen years, you can raise enough money, hehe...]
The last two laughs were full of disdain, which greatly stimulated An Zishi's fans. Someone immediately fought back: [You are not an expert, so if you say it is valuable, then it is valuable? They are just a few pots of broken flowers, but you blow them up into rare treasures. Don't fool me. If Bai Zhilan's mother had the financial resources, she would have left the mountain valley long ago! 】
【that is! Don't you feel ashamed to just download a few pictures from the Internet and then show off in the live broadcast room? You still say that we are ignorant and have low IQ. I think you are the real stupid one! If Bai Zhilan's mother could really grow the best orchid, wouldn't she be heavenly? 】
[Zi Shi, go ahead and smash the flowers. We will pay for your compensation! I just can't stand Bai Zhilan's bad look! 】
[Can An Zishi’s crazy fans please get out of here? What if Bai Ma is the kind of person who is indifferent to fame and fortune? What's wrong with them having money? Just because you have money doesn’t mean you can live in a small mountain village? If you have money, you should buy luxury cars, luxury houses and yachts? Bai Ma’s ideological realm is completely not on the same level as yours. 】
[Another crazy fan of Bai Ma, haha…]
There was a huge noise in the live broadcast room, and An Zishi was also very uneasy. He never thought that he could lose tens of millions with just a casual touch. Bai Zhilan's mother is too smart! Seeing Bai Zhilan nonchalantly taking out a broom and preparing to sweep away the broken flower pots and dirt, he hurriedly held her hand and begged, "Auntie, don't move. Wait until Aunt Lin comes."
"It's just a few pots of flowers. It doesn't matter if they are broken." Bai Zhilan looked puzzled.
An Zishi looked at her deeply and said firmly, "So you have no idea what kind of flowers these are or how much they are worth."
"Aren't they just orchids? What other varieties could they be?" Bai Zhilan became more and more confused as she spoke. She really knew nothing about the orchid-growing industry.
"You don't know anything, but Aunt Lin still lets you come in every day to help her take care of the flowers? Aunt Lin is really generous!" An Zishi took a few deep breaths, then squatted down to block a few flowers, and said firmly: "Anyway, you can't touch these flowers, let them lie down first. If you touch them to death, I can't afford to compensate!"
Now that things have come to this, is there anything else that the audience in the live broadcast room don’t understand? The scientific knowledge provided by the netizen before was really not a bluff. Even An Zishi, the Grand Slam actor, said that he couldn't afford the compensation. The value of these pots of flowers must not be low.
[Where are An Zishi’s crazy fans?] Come out and crowdfund quickly! Didn’t you hear what An Zishi said? He can’t afford to pay for it, hahahahaha…】
[Damn it! I never thought that three pots of flowers could be sold for tens of millions! This plot is fantastic! 】
[Bai Ma is really rich!] But the clothes she wears are not brand names, the house she lives in is not a mansion, and the car she drives is a second-hand farm vehicle that costs no more than 40,000 yuan. What does it mean to be low-key? This is true low-key! Wealth and honor cannot corrupt, poverty and humbleness cannot change, Bai Ma really did it. No wonder she casually said she wanted to donate to build a road. Where are those people who previously mocked her for pretending to be rich, fake charity, and a fake white lotus? Why are they silent now? 】
An Zishi’s crazy fans didn’t dare to speak at this moment.
Bai Zhilan also slowly came to her senses and asked tentatively, "Are these pots of flowers very valuable?"
An Zishi nodded in agreement.
Bai Zhilan raised her eyebrows and said, "If they can't survive, you can't leave our village unless you pay the money!"
An Zishi couldn't help but want to laugh when he saw her with her hands on her slender waist. This young lady now completely regards herself as a villager of Xiaotian Village, and her mouth is full of the smell of dirt.
"Don't worry, I will definitely compensate you." An Zishi raised his hands in surrender.
When the cameraman heard that these flowers were very valuable, he couldn't help but take a few close-ups, then slowly moved the camera to other orchids on the stand.
This was a serious matter. The netizen who loved growing orchids almost went crazy. He kept typing on the keyboard, taking screenshots of the video, and continued to popularize science: [Oh my God! Bai Ma’s greenhouse is a paradise for orchid enthusiasts! No, my heart can’t take it anymore! Look at this one, its leaves and flowers are green, it is called Emerald Orchid, and it is also an extremely rare variety. The highest auction record is 3 million! This purple-black plant is the best among all the black orchids, and the highest auction record is 8 million...】
Every time the cameraman photographed an orchid, the netizen would introduce it in detail and also send relevant information: comparison pictures, transaction records, and related news reports. The audience had no confidence to refute his nonsense.
When the camera finally captured the two orchids in the corner, the netizen suddenly stopped talking. Even the audience who had no common sense in this area felt their extraordinaryness and held their breath.
The cameraman seemed to be fascinated by the two flowers and took pictures of them for a long time, completely forgetting about the two celebrity guests.
After about a minute, someone came back to his senses and called out: "Where is that enthusiastic audience member just now? Come and tell us what the names of these two flowers are! Even I, who don’t like flowers, am mesmerized by them! 】
The orchid enthusiast typed a few lines with trembling fingers: [The flower on the left is called the crystal orchid. The whole plant has no leaves, only flowers that are as clear as ice crystals. This flower only grows in deep mountains and old forests. It takes three months from budding to blooming and then withering. It will wither if touched lightly. So far, there has been no news of successful artificial cultivation. Even the most experienced botanists would find it difficult to find any trace of it in their entire lives. It only blooms in dark, damp and humus-filled places, so it is also called the flower of the underworld, the flower of death, the dream orchid, the saprophytic flower, etc. Because it is so mysterious, it has been deified by people since ancient times and is known as the magic herb. The ghost orchid cannot be touched by hands, as it will turn into rotten water if touched. So far no one has successfully moved it into a flowerpot and sold it on the market, so I can't estimate its price. 】
After reading this passage, the audience went online to search for information about the Crystal Orchid and were amazed.
Then the netizen wrote: [I don’t know what species the orchid next to the Crystal Orchid is. Judging from the leaves, it should be a Cold Orchid. However, its flowers have the elegance of the White Crowned Lotus Tripod, the ethereality of the Ghost Orchid, and the crystal clearness of the Crystal Orchid. It should be a newly cultivated variant, which has the advantages of all the top-quality orchids. It is simply beautiful! If its characteristics are stable enough and its fragrance is pleasant enough, there is no doubt that its value will surpass all the orchids I have introduced before! Wait a minute, I'll take a screenshot of the picture and send it to my teacher! 】
Then the netizen’s avatar went dark, leaving only exclamation marks all over the screen.
[Is it true?] 】An audience member typed these words while swallowing.
[I searched Baidu and the picture of the crystal orchid matches the video exactly, so it should be real! And the last orchid is so beautiful, like a magnified snowflake, pure white and elegant, crystal clear, and ethereal and lively. If this wasn't a live show, I would have thought it was created by some great god using special effects. Only in fairyland can flowers like this bloom! 】
[In other words, the total value of all the flowers in this greenhouse is more than 100 million? 】
[This is not a hothouse, this is a safe!] 】
[Bai Zhilan is such a fool. Judging from her appearance, she should be completely unaware of this matter! How did her mother let her come in to water the plants without any hesitation? 】
[Mother Bai really spoils her children too much. If it were me, I would definitely install a few iron doors and lock the greenhouse tightly! 】
Amid heated discussions among the audience, the term #thehighest realm of showing off wealth# quickly climbed to the top of the hot search list.
