Come on, butcher

For this kind of expensive auction, the sellers started to promote it in the group many days in advance. Zheng Haifei usually did not have many temporary additional auctions, and he was arranged for the final auction. also hesitate.So Zheng Haifei didn't actually expect the two pots of Infinity and Aurora mother plants to be sold.

Zheng Haifei first told the administrator in charge of this auction in the group about his requirements, and then uploaded the photos to the group to supplement the information, including the variety, year, size, breeding method and environment.The auctioneer immediately announced the auction information in the group, and soon, someone came to Zheng Haifei to inquire about the details, which showed that the players were interested in his goods, and the more people asked, the higher the chance of selling.

The auction starts at 08:30.Different from ordinary auction groups, each auction in the Vientiane group is in charge of one person, and the seller himself is not allowed to intervene, but he will give a reserve price, and the auction will fail if the price is lower than the reserve price.The auctioneers here do not serve everyone for free, they will charge [-]% of the service fee, so they are very concerned about the auction.Of course, the auctioneer is not fixed, but several administrators take turns to do it. Zheng Haifei has also been in charge of auctions in the group.

For this auction, Xiao Xi did not go back that night.He followed the auction closely throughout the whole process, and seeing that many people in the group expressed strong interest and sincere praise for Zheng Haifei's succulents, he couldn't help being very proud. The succulent is second to none.

After eating, both of them washed up early and lay on the bed waiting for tonight's auction. At 08:30, the auction started on time. The first auction started was Vientiane Xueguo seedlings, tissue culture seedlings, 4 cm. The starting price was 80, and the price was increased by 5 yuan each time.Xueguo is a very classic Vientiane old variety. Because it has been around for a long time and has a large quantity, the price is relatively cheap in Vientiane. It was finally sold for 120 yuan.

The second one is Snow Country, which is a little smaller than the previous one, but it is real. The starting price is 200 yuan, and the final price is 400 yuan.

Xiao Xi didn't understand: "Why are the prices of the two Xueguo trees so far apart just now, and the previous one was even bigger."

Zheng Haifei explained: "This is the difference between tissue-cultured seedlings and seedlings. Seedlings are sown from seeds, and there are male and female parents. Tissue-cultured seedlings have only one parent, which uses a certain part of the parent's tissues such as cells. An individual plant is cultivated under the same conditions. Tissue culture grows faster than the seed, so it is cheaper."

"Tissue culture seedlings are not as good as real seedlings?"

"It's not entirely like this. The genes of the tissue-cultured seedlings are relatively stable. They are the same as their parental genes, and they look similar. They are similar to clones. Seedlings are equivalent to natural production. It is impossible for parents to be the same, they may be better than their parents, or they may not be as good as their parents." Zheng Haifei explained to Xiao Xi.

"In that case, tissue culture seedlings are more advantageous, and the price is cheaper."

Zheng Haifei said: "It is good for beginners to buy tissue culture seedlings to practice their hands, because it is cheap, and real players are willing to grow live seedlings, because real seedlings have endless possibilities, usually have more surprises, and are healthier and easier to raise."

"I see." Xiao Xi regained his knowledge and continued to pay attention to the auction.At the beginning, the seedlings were relatively common, and the price was relatively cheap. Some sold for tens of dollars, hundreds of dollars, or thousands of dollars.

After taking a few shots, the auctioneer sent out a picture: "Fuji Longhua, an award-winning variety, 3.5 cm seedlings, three-year-old, starting at 4000 bids, and each increase is no less than 200."

Xiao Xi zoomed in on the picture in surprise, looked at the information again, and asked Zheng Haifei: "Am I not mistaken, such a small seedling needs more than 4000?"

Zheng Haifei said: "Vientiane called Fuji is a variety bred in Japan, and they are very expensive. Longhua is relatively cheap. Generally, the seedlings of Fuji are more than [-]."

"I'll go, it's so expensive! Do we have it?" Xiao Xi asked.

Zheng Haifei shook his head: "No, I'm basically all the old breeds before, and I haven't started raising these new breeds yet."

"Is someone really buying it?" Xiao Xi found out that quite a few people really raised their prices.

"It's all local tyrants who raise Vientiane, so it's not surprising that someone buys it." Zheng Haifei seems to have gotten used to this kind of scene.

In the end, this Fuji Longhua was sold by one person at a price of 6400 yuan.Xiao Xi was stunned: "It's really embarrassing, what if it doesn't raise well and dies?"

"Generally, people who raise Vientiane are veterans, and it is rare for them to die, otherwise they would not sell easily. Besides, if you can afford Vientiane, dying is not a big deal."

Xiao Xi couldn't help but leaned on her: "It's really embarrassing!"

After watching for a while, Xiao Xi found that most of the auctions in the group were young seedlings, and very few mother plants were sold.Zheng Haifei explained to him: "The mother plants are hens that lay golden eggs. Of course, few people sell them."

"Isn't it a great loss for our family to sell?" Xiao Xi couldn't help feeling a little pained when he thought about Zheng Haifei's Infinity and Aurora's mother plant.

Zheng Haifei said: "I am an old variety. The longer the time goes by, the more the price will drop. You see, there are so many tissue cultured seedlings. If they are sold now, no one knows whether it is a blessing or a curse."

Hearing what he said, Xiao Xi hoped that he could sell it: "Shall we also get some new varieties of Fuji?"

Zheng Haifei said: "Well, I plan to buy some seeds with my friends and try to sow them."

"What's the price of the seeds?" Xiao Xi asked.

"Cheap ones cost more than ten yuan a pill, and expensive ones cost hundreds of dollars."

"Seeds are so expensive, are they guaranteed to emerge?"

"That's hard to say."

Xiao Xi felt that he was really too poor. Local tyrants would pay hundreds of dollars to buy a seed that he didn't know would germinate, and he had to think about it for a long time to buy a succulent that cost more than a hundred dollars.

In the second half of the journey, I finally saw a person selling a mature Aurora plant. The condition was not very good, the leaves were a little stubby, and a small half of the window surface was not grained.The characteristic of Vientiane is that it grows slowly. From sowing to adulthood, it takes at least seven or eight years. Its window surface lines are produced one by one. It may take more than ten years for all the window surfaces to have lines, and it is expensive to sell. Not without reason.

The auction reserve price of this Aurora tree is [-], but the bidders only bid [-] and no one will increase it, because it may take several years for the vain Vientiane to grow back, and the time cost is too high, so In the end it was a pass.The previous succulents were finally finished, and it was Zheng Haifei's turn. He had prepared a total of twelve succulents. In addition to the two mother plants, there were also five seedlings from Aurora and Infinity.

The first thing to be auctioned was the mother plant of Aurora, which was probably the biggest highlight tonight, because very few people sold such a good-looking mother plant.Someone said: "Is this from Guan Er's family? Why did you sell the mother plant?"

Zheng Haifei replied: "Lack of money, need capital turnover."

The auctioneer said: "Okay, the large Aurora mother plant, 8 years old, full-grown, with basically all the lines, starting at 8000, and the price increase every time is no less than 200."

Xiao Xi was a little nervous. He wanted to sell it, but he was a little bit reluctant to sell it. In the end, Aurora still didn't sell it. No one would add more to the price when it reached 10000. It was still a little short of Zheng Haifei's reserve price.

Although the mother plant was not sold, several seedlings of Aurora seedlings sold well, and each plant was between 800-1000.The reputation of Zheng Haifei's seedlings has always been good, and the buyers also communicate with each other.

The infinite mother plant was finally sold at a price of 1200 yuan, and the price of each of the remaining infinite seedlings was also above [-] yuan.

After the auction was completed, Zheng Haifei asked the buyers to place orders in his Taobao store one by one. After receiving the orders, he and Xiao Xi took out the succulents that were auctioned overnight to dry.Generally speaking, the succulents purchased online are not delivered in pots. The succulents in the greenhouse are maintained in simple small pots, and the growth environment of the greenhouse is different from that of domestic plants. The succulents bought back need to be replaced. pot.The succulents Zheng Haifei distributes to people are also distributed after the roots are pulled out to dry, and they will not be distributed together with soil and pots. After all, the climate and environment of the buyer's place may not be the same as theirs, and the proportion of soil mix is ​​also different.

Xiao Xi exclaimed while busy: "Didn't you say that this seedling is only worth more than 100? It turned out to be sold for more than 1000!"

Zheng Haifei said: "I didn't say more than 100, I only said hundreds."

Xiao Xi gave a thumbs up: "You local tyrant, you can keep me!" He just took a look, and the Vientiane seedlings alone are worth at least 10,000+.It is conservatively estimated that the value of Zheng Haifei's greenhouse is at least over one million.

Zheng Haifei smiled lightly: "Okay, it's not a problem to support you."

"I've eaten too much. Every meal is full of fish and meat."

"I don't eat meat, save it for you."

"Then I have other hobbies!"

"for example?"

Xiao Xi rolled her eyes and thought about it: "Buy figurines, models, succulents..."

Zheng Haifei was overjoyed: "It's easy to say, it's not easy to be succulent, my big shed belongs to you."

Xiao Xi scratched her head and scratched her head, trying to find some money-burning hobbies, but apart from these, there was nothing left: "I found that I am quite easy to support. No, you don't have a house, so you can't live here all the time!" The environment here It's good, mainly because it's not very convenient.

"I have a house. My old house has been demolished. The government has subsidized two demolition houses for me. They are located in the New Development Zone, which is close to our place. Let's go and have a look tomorrow? They haven't been decorated yet. What style do you want? Decoration, we will discuss together when the time comes."

Xiao Xi found that Zheng Haifei really didn't lack for anything: "I don't have a car."

"Yes, the only thing missing is a car. I will definitely buy it in the next two years." Now that the greenhouse has been remodeled, there is nothing to invest except for some new seedlings. I can save money to improve my quality of life.

Xiao Xi rubbed her nose with her hands: "What else is there?"

Zheng Haifei said with a smile: "You are the only one who needs to move here."
