In early February, Qian Xiaoxiao called Lu Jiaxin to say that Clivia was selling like crazy in Spring City; a single Clivia plant selling for over a thousand wasn't considered much.
Qian Xiaoxiao said, "Sister Xin, a Hong Kong businessman visited a floriculture company in Spring City and took a fancy to a Clivia plant. He offered to trade his own sedan for it on the spot. My grandfather said the car was some sort of 'Crown' model, worth eighty to ninety thousand, but guess what happened?"
Lu Jiaxin knew that Clivia had already become a hot commodity in Spring City. However, what Xiaoxiao said was just the beginning; after that, many people ran to Spring City with dreams of striking it rich.
"He was turned down, wasn't he!"
Qian Xiaoxiao praised her acumen and said, "Sister Xin, the general manager of the floriculture company refused, even stating that the company's name was derived from that very Clivia plant, and if sold, it would not be appropriate to use that name anymore."
