In the end, Lin Mumu simply divided the shares of her store. Since she was the one with the largest amount of money and goods invested, she got most of the share while giving Chen Fangya, An Xiaoqin and Liu Yuanyuan 5% each.
The reason they trusted her so much was because Lin Mumu really had the talent of defying the heavens in the aspect of plant raising. The half dead branch she took home the day before quickly recovered overnight under her meticulous care.
Before that, she had also taken care of many dying orchids in terrible states, and yet was able to make them recover overnight.
Another example of her talent would be the Yu Tang Chun (Jade spring plant) mentioned by An Xiaoqin. The almost dying branches of the plant, under Lin Mumu’s care, quickly came back to life and she was even able to divide some parts in order to bread even more plants of the same type. Lin Mumu really had a talent, and the means she used obviously defied logic and the rules of nature, but the plants she created or treated didn’t suffer any secondary effects later.
In other words, she could easily divide a plant in a hundred other without much trouble, and she could probably divide them into even more plants, maybe three thousand or even five thousand.
Now that there were people willing to help, Lin Mumu naturally wouldn’t easily let them go.
“Great beautiful lady An, please help me with publicity. If there are any precious flowers and plants in bad states or that suffered damage, we’ll accept them all. However, the price should be at least five hundred. I don’t charge my skills cheaply.”
“Five hundred? This expensive?” Chen Fangya and Liu Yuanyuan were both stunned and felt like the world was really mysterious. Was it more expensive to cure flowers and plants than to cure people? The current salary of ordinary employees in Beijing was only two or Three thousand a month.
“En, alright, you just need to manage them well later.” An Xiaoqin immediately understood her intentions, “Even if you asked people for five thousand, I’m sure the wealthy plant lovers of Beijing would be willing to pay once they’re convinced by your skills. I’ll try to convince them of the potential of our store so that they’ll leave their beloved plants in our care, and they can later get them back once we’ve ridiculously increased their prices.”
“Good.” Lin Mumu nodded, after all, she couldn’t possibly take care of everything. An Xiaoqin’s idea seemed more reasonable.
“The shop management will be handed over to Yuanyuan. Yuanyuan, When the moment comes, you’ll go to the work office and find two more diligent people to help with looking over the shop. It’d be the best if they could do a bit of overtime on some days. Senior Hong has an aunt there who had been looking after the shop, I wonder if she would be willing to stay behind when we’re in school so that there’s always staff present.”
“What about me? I can look after the shop as well.” Chen Fangya hurriedly chimed in to offer her services; she couldn’t simply sit back and do nothing while everyone else was busying around.
“You have more important things to do. When the moment comes, Chen Fangya will be responsible for online publicity, we’ll also get the materials Senior Hong will send. For the time being, succulent plants are still generally cheap, so I plan on getting a batch of small seedlings in order to breed more. You can go online to promote raising them.”
At this time, Hong Xiaoling had already sent her the materials and information she promised, so Lin Mumu only had to take out her laptop to show them to Chen Fangya who didn’t feel like eating anymore.
After a while, the situation of the dinner table was that foodie Lin Mumu cheerfully continued cooking and eating the hotpot, while An Xiaoqin, Chen Fangya and Liu Yuanyuan were busy enthusiastically discussing the materials and information on the computer.
Lin Mumu was happily listening to their discussion with a sweet smile as her mood got better and better. It was indeed more interesting to have more people join the fun than doing everything alone.
“I have a high-resolution camera at home, I can bring it over and post more photos on BBS. These little things are so cute yet so cheap, I’m sure they’ll sell well.” An Xiaoqin was confident in her insight.
“Yes, yes! I can also take pictures. “
“I can learn how to take them.”
“I noticed that in the whole flowers’ and birds’ market, our shop is the only one that sells fleshy succulent plants, so should I raise the price three times, or five times? Senior Hong’s prices are too low.” Lin Mumu quickly enabled her ‘unscrupulous businessman mode’. On her young and pure face hung a harmless and innocent expression, but her mouth unhesitantly spoke of an outrageous thought.
“Why? Can’t you sell them with their current price? Won’t it be even more difficult to sell them once you increase their price?” Liu Yuanyuan couldn’t understand Lin Mumu’s train of thought.
“You don’t understand. The current price is too cheap for selling them because it will give people the feeling that they’re cheap goods. Lin Mumu is right, we’ll put in the plants in more beautiful flowerpots and increase their price. If the price is too low, any one would be able to afford it and customers may come by the hundreds and thousands. However, with the increased price, only wealthier people will be able to afford it and come to our store in reasonable numbers.” As expected of An Xiaoqin, she had was business minded than ordinary people.
In the end, Lin Mumu simply divided the shares of her store. Since she was the one with the largest amount of money and goods invested, she got most of the share while giving Chen Fangya, An Xiaoqin and Liu Yuanyuan 5% each.
