Rebirth 70: I am a Koi

"It's great that the old gentleman is here," I said excitedly, shaking Bai Hanchuan's hand. "With his guidance, we will be more confident in breeding new varieties."

Bai Hanchuan smiled and nodded: "Yes, Jinli, it seems that our planting base will be expanded again."

I turned my head and looked at the flower fields in the distance, and a surge of ambition and ambition surged in my heart. We started from scratch, reclaiming plots of land and planting flower seedlings, and now we have developed it into a well-known flower base, and have attracted so many like-minded people to join us.

"Hanchuan, do you think we should take this opportunity to expand our business overseas?" I suggested excitedly, "The old man has a certain reputation internationally. With him helping us make connections, we will definitely be able to open up sales channels."

Bai Hanchuan pondered for a moment and agreed: "Well, your idea is very good. Now the national policy also encourages foreign trade. We can do some market research first to see which varieties are more popular internationally."

"It's settled!" I clapped my hands happily. "I'll go to the city tomorrow and contact the relevant agencies to inquire about the situation."

"I'll go with you." Bai Hanchuan looked at me gently, his eyes full of doting.

"No need, you stay and learn the breeding techniques from the old man. We can divide the work and cooperate to be more efficient." I smiled and rejected his kindness. Since the base got on the right track, he has focused most of his energy on the breeding of new varieties, hoping to cultivate more and more beautiful flowers.

At this time, Lin Xiao came over from the office with a stack of documents in her hand: "Sister Jinli, this is the financial statement for this month, take a look."

I took the report and looked through it, while asking, "Xiaoxiao, do you have any ideas about the future development of the base?"

"Me?" Lin Xiao was stunned for a moment, as if she didn't expect me to ask her this question.

"Yes, you are a veteran of the base, just tell me if you have any ideas." I looked at her encouragingly. Lin Xiao is a girl with many ideas and she is very organized. I believe she will be able to come up with a lot of constructive suggestions.

Lin Xiao pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "I think..."

"I think we can try online sales." Lin Xiao paused, as if organizing his words. "Although the Internet is not yet popular, some people already shop online. We can first build a simple website to display our flower varieties, and then ship them by express delivery."

"Online sales?" I looked at Lin Xiao in surprise. This idea was bold, but also full of challenges. "But not many people shop online now, and logistics and transportation are also a problem. Flowers can easily be damaged during transportation."

"Sister Jinli, I understand your concerns," Lin Xiao said seriously, "but we can try it on a small scale first, choosing some varieties that are easy to transport, such as baby's breath and forget-me-nots, and then gradually expand the scale. As for logistics, we can cooperate with some professional flower delivery companies to ensure the freshness of the flowers."

I pondered for a moment. Although Lin Xiao's proposal was risky, it was also full of opportunities. Now is the early stage of the development of the Internet. If we can seize this opportunity, we can seize the initiative and open up a broader market.

"Okay, I agree with your idea. We can try it first." I made the final decision. "Go back and make a detailed plan, and then we can discuss it together."

"Great!" Lin Xiao said excitedly, "I will definitely prepare well."

In the evening, Bai Hanchuan and I walked with the old man in the flower fields. While admiring the blooming flowers, the old man taught some unique planting techniques.

"This kind of orchid likes a cool and humid environment. You can put some sphagnum moss around the flowerpot to maintain humidity." The old man said, pointing to a patch of orchids.

"There is also this kind of rose, which has a relatively short flowering period. You can use some preservatives to extend the flowering period." The old man pointed to a field of roses and said.

I listened carefully and kept the old man's words in mind. These planting techniques are the accumulation of the old man's many years of experience and are very valuable.

As the sun sets, we stroll in the flower fields. The air is filled with the faint fragrance of flowers, which is refreshing.

"Jinli, look!" Bai Hanchuan suddenly pointed to a flower field in the distance and said, "What kind of flower is that? Why haven't I seen it before?"

I looked in the direction of Bai Hanchuan's finger, and saw a field of colorful flowers blooming in the sunset, which was a beautiful sight.

"Let's go and take a look." I took Bai Hanchuan's hand and walked towards the flower field... We walked quickly to the flower field, and I recognized the flowers at a glance, "This is a new variety of tulips. I just introduced them from abroad some time ago. I didn't expect them to bloom so soon!" I said excitedly. These tulips have bright colors and unique flower shapes, which are better than the ordinary varieties on the market. I seem to have seen the scene of them being very popular in the market.

Bai Hanchuan looked at the flowers with admiration in his eyes, "Jinli, you are amazing. You can always find so many new and unique varieties."

I smiled and shook my head. "This is not my credit. It was recommended to me by a senior." I told him the story of the retired gardening master, my words full of admiration.

A few days later, we received an invitation to attend an international flower exchange, and I went with Bai Hanchuan, bringing with me the new variety of tulips that I had carefully cultivated.

At the conference, flower experts from various countries gathered together to display their latest achievements. I met a tulip expert from the Netherlands, who praised the new varieties I brought. We had a pleasant conversation and reached a preliminary cooperation intention.

"Jinli, congratulations!" After the exchange meeting, Bai Hanchuan held my hand, his eyes full of joy and pride, "Your efforts have been recognized."

I smiled and nodded, feeling a warm current in my heart. This exchange meeting not only gave us the opportunity for international cooperation, but also gave me confidence in future development.

After returning home, I suddenly felt nauseous and dizzy. Seeing this, Bai Hanchuan hurriedly supported me and said, "Jinli, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

I suppressed my discomfort and shook my head, "I'm fine. I'm probably too tired recently. I just need to take a rest."

Bai Hanchuan was worried and insisted on taking me to the hospital for a checkup. After the checkup, the doctor smiled and said to us, "Congratulations, you are going to be a father!"

I was stunned, and then a huge joy surged in my heart. I was pregnant! I gently stroked my still flat belly, as if I could already feel a little life growing.

"We are going to have a baby..." I muttered to myself, and turned to look at Bai Hanchuan, but saw that his face suddenly became solemn, and his eyes fell to the window...
