　　The little brother, who plans to confess on February 14, may have to prepare more yuan this year.

　　Recently, the top news Henan Business Daily reporter learned during a visit to the Zhengzhou flower market that last year's lowest 40 yuan a za (20 branches) of roses, this year's highest has risen to 160 yuan.

　　On the one hand, Zhengzhou has the largest flower wholesale market in Henan, which undertakes the role of "south flowers and north transportation, east flowers and west travel", on the other hand, it also occupies the country's flower consumption volume that cannot be ignored, such as the Chen Zhao Flower Shuangqiao Base alone sold 8.56 million roses in the same period of 2018.

　　How many roses can Zhengzhou, which is becoming more and more fashionable, sell this year?

　　Price

　　The original minimum of 40 yuan for a bunch of roses is now as high as 160 yuan

　　On the afternoon of February 9, when the reporter of the top news and Henan Business Daily went to visit, he saw that the large and small vehicles of the Chen Zhao Hua Shuangqiao Base were constantly entering and leaving, and the vehicles returning from the exit were lined up. "2.14 Flower wholesale has entered the peak season." Chen Xinyou, general manager of Chen Zhao Flower Group, said.

　　Cut flower wholesale merchant Wang Zhongqiang said that he has been selling flowers for more than 20 years, and this year's roses are the most expensive, "Before, the wholesale price of a 20-branch rose was as low as 40 yuan and as high as 80 yuan, this year it was generally more than 110 yuan, and now the most expensive one has been called for 160 yuan." ”

　　Yue Xiyu, who entered the flower industry in 2004, said that pink roses used to be the most expensive 5 yuan a stick, and this year's wholesale price is 7.5 yuan.

　　Because the price is high and rising every day, Yue Xiyu is in the cold storage of the Shuangqiao base, and in previous years, the goods were full of stockpiles, and this year it was almost empty. "Don't dare to hoard, the purchase price is too high, and the cost of hoarding is also high." Yue Xiyu said that there are still a few days before 2.14, and if there are too many goods hoarded at this time, the price will be fully folded in as soon as it falls. Although wholesalers have few purchases, the retail market demand is still strong, and some wholesalers are ordered before they are put into storage. This is also one of the reasons why the cold storage vacancy rate of many flower wholesale merchants is high.

　　Traceability

　　Yunnan has low output, hot money speculation, and large market demand

　　Why are cut flowers so expensive this year?

　　Wang Zhongqiang analyzed for two reasons. First, the low temperature before the Spring Festival in Yunnan, where flowers are produced, affects the production of flowers, and "things are rare and expensive". The second reason is that the industry is rumored that there is capital entering the flower industry, caused by hot money speculation. According to reports, in the past, in the Kunming Dounan Flower Trading Market, as soon as the price was quoted, someone would negotiate different prices, but this year's situation was that as long as there were flowers, some people would collect all of them, and there would be no negotiation at all.

　　Yue Xiyu believes that another important reason is that people's consumption level has generally increased, flower consumption has entered the homes of ordinary people, and market demand is strong.

　　Prejudgment

　　99 roses, retail price or more than 1000 yuan

　　This year's spending price is so high, is the florist going to make a lot of money? Chen Xinyou said that February 14 this year will be a small peak of sales for merchants. Yue Xiyu said that some merchants have begun to stock 20 days in advance, this year's spending price is high, it is expected that sales will not necessarily increase compared with previous years, but sales will certainly be high.

　　Merchants predict that the bouquet of 99 roses may have a wholesale price of only four or five hundred yuan at this time in previous years, and the retail price is seven or eight hundred yuan, and this year it is expected that the retail price will exceed 1,000 yuan.
