I'm A Baller - Chapter 106

Chapter 106: Sea of Flowers

On the morning of the 19th, Liu Li set out for the show and did not let Wang Yan see her off.

Hence, Wang Yan did not go. Before boarding the bus, Na Wu was still muttering to Liu Li, “Wang Wang is really heartless. When you come back, don’t be soft-hearted with him. You must teach him a lesson! ”

Liu Li was holding her phone and looking at the photo from Wang Yan. Waves of doubt surged in her heart, but she was also a little shy.

What did Wang Wang mean?

Why did he send a photo of a hotel suite?

And it was taken from such a strange angle… it didn’t seem like a sexual hint, right?

She didn’t understand it even after the bus started.

As for Na Wu’s muttering, of course, she didn’t take it to heart.

…

After lunch, Wang Yan called Dave over.

“Mr. Wang, what can I do for you? ”

“I want to decorate the suite with flowers. Does the hotel allow it? ”

Dave’s answer almost sent Wang Yan to the top of the world.

“As an honored guest of our hotel, you can be more forceful when making reasonable requests. I will say ‘as you wish’ like a British butler. ”

It was a rare opportunity for Dave to show his sense of humor, which made Wang Yan laugh heartily.

No wonder everyone liked money. How could anyone not like to be served by such a smart person and be treated with such care?

“Okay, then find someone who can do this. Find out how many flowers it will need and how to arrange them to the best effect.”

“As you wish. ”

…

Around 1:30 pm, Dave brought in a florist.

“Mr. Wang, this is the partner of our hotel’s wedding department. She’s very capable. ”

The florist was a woman in her early 30s. She looked gentle, kind, and charming.

“Hello, Mr. Wang. I’m Chen Xiang, the florist of Xiangyu. What do you want the room to look like? ”

Wang Yan actually had no idea. He could only describe the general effect he wanted to achieve.

“First of all, it has to have a sense of design. I hope it’s not a simple pile of flowers.

“Secondly, I don’t know flowers, but I want four colors — red, pink, blue and white.

“Lastly, the entrance and the bathroom don’t need flowers. Other than that, the entire suite has to be covered by flowers. ”

⊙▽⊙ !

Covered? !

Chen Xiang was a little confused. She turned around to look at Dave and saw the same expression on his face. Only then did she realize that she hadn’t heard it wrong.

She subconsciously licked her lips, looking as if she was seducing him or trying to flirt with him, but she really wasn’t.

Chen Xiang was just surprised. For a moment, her mouth was dry and her heart was beating like a drum.

“Mr. Wang, are you sure? Your suite has an area of more than 150 square meters excluding the entrance and the bathroom. If you want to have it ‘covered’ by flowers, you will need a lot of flowers… ”

Wang Yan glanced at her and smiled.

“I just want a lot of flowers. ”

“Uh… okay. ”

Chen Xiang stuttered a little.

Then, she roamed in the room like a wandering soul. She looked very professional, but her mind was filled with confusion as she measured the space.

As she measured, she tentatively described the initial idea.

“For the wall facing the living room and the bar area, I’ll design it with the theme of falling in love at first sight. It will need…

“In the middle of the living room, I will leave out enough space to place a table for two. The theme here will be dancing beauty in flowers; we’ll have a three-dimensional design…

“The theme in the bedroom will be the dream of the blue sea, with blue and white as the main colors… ”

Just like that, the overall design took shape little by little.

After the preliminary calculations, Chen Xiang gave a rough quote.

“Mr. Wang, according to your request, we need about 30,000 red roses, 6,000 pink tulips, 3,000 lilies, and a large number of forget-me-nots, hollyhocks, and blue enchantresses — the last three are the blue ones used for styling.

“All the flowers will be delivered on the morning of the 21st to ensure freshness.

“Then, we will spend six hours on the decorations, and finish by 2 pm at the latest.

“As for the design fees for 150 square meters and four large theme designs… I’ll give you a discount and ask for only 30,000 yuan.

“We will be responsible for the transportation and labor.

“All included, the total price will be between 200,000 and 350,000 yuan.

“If you don’t have any objections, I’ll go back and do the design now, so we’ll have time for revisions. ”

Chen Xiang tried her best to speak softly, slowly, and carefully. From time to time, she glanced at Wang Yan, afraid that the price was too high and the client would be unhappy.

In fact, she was very anxious.

Large-scale flower art designing was a new, trendy, romantic, and time-sensitive business. Basically, the designers worked with big hotels and wedding companies, usually not with individuals.

Because of the expensive costs and the one-time nature of the flower displays, the flower decoration was regarded as impractical as or even more so than fireworks.

Uh, it was basically number one impractical thing.

200,000 yuan of fireworks could be seen by half of the city. At the very least, people could see this high-profiled act.

As to spending 200,000 yuan to set up a sea of flowers in a suite, the effect would only last for a short while, and only a few people could see it… Emmm, how would it feel?

Anyway, based on Chen Xiang’s experience, in a luxurious wedding that cost 2 million yuan in total, only about 50,000 yuan was spent on the wedding decorations, in which the cost on flowers would not exceed 10,000 yuan.

The only exception was Huang Xiaoming and Angelababy’s wedding of the century, which used 500,000 flowers, six helicopters, and it cost them…zero yuan.

Emmm, it was sponsored by a floral art company.

Therefore, Wang Yan’s request was definitely a rarely big deal… Ah, this guy was super rich.

Chen Xiang got worried as she thought of this.

However, Wang Yan’s reply almost made Chen Xiang regret her quote.

“Eh? It’s much cheaper than I expected… But your flower prices are very flexible, huh? ”

Chen Xiang felt like spitting blood.

Spending 200,000 yuan to cover a suite with flowers and you still think it’s cheap?

I’m sorry, I’m not good at extorting money. I’m sorry I did not live up to your expectation.

Even Dave, who was used to whimsical rich people, felt that his blood pressure was a little high.

Even for a wedding banquet in the hotel, spending 50,000 yuan on flowers was extravagant. You’re just decorating a suite; do you have to spend so much money for that?

Alright, you’re rich; you’re the Big Brother!

Chen Xiang pressed her fingernails into her palms. The piercing pain calm her down, but her attitude became even more respectful.

“Mr. Wang, Spring City has had a harvest of flowers. The wholesale price of roses in the capital is 4 yuan each. Based on your consumption, we’ll give you 2.5 yuan each. This price is very honest. ”

Wang Yan nodded casually. “Let’s do the design first. We’ll talk about the price later. ”

In fact, the price was not a problem. Wang Yan just didn’t want them to take him as a fool and want them to do their best.

The effect was not bad. After the brief exchange, Chen Xiang didn’t dare to underestimate the young man. She would work hard to complete this deal.

“Don’t worry. I will definitely do it with the highest standard, the fastest speed, and the greatest sincerity. Just wait for my good news! ”

TSk, tsk, this attitude… Young lady, you are very professional!

Wang Yan saw Chen Xiang off with satisfaction. She had promised to finish the design draft tomorrow morning. Then, he rushed to the nearest shopping mall.
