Chapter 75 (1/2)
The ice emperor led the five children to sit in front of the film, waiting for the film to tell his story.
”This is a story about flowers. It is also a story that warns us to keep rational before temptation.
The story also begins with the hoarding of goods by a group of businessmen. It is a crazy era when everyone yearns for a sudden wealth. Sailors on long voyages bring back countless wealth from the distant new world, which urges people to want more.
Therefore, someone stared at tulip, a beautiful flower, a beautiful and rare flower, which was hoarded in large quantities, and the price also soared.
People's admiration for tulips became stronger and stronger, and finally showed a morbid admiration and enthusiasm for tulips, so that owning and planting this kind of flowers gradually became a symbol of high reputation.
Because it is extremely easy to be infected by viruses during development, the petals may often show a flame like color, while those infected tulip bulbs are considered more precious, and the more strange they are, the more precious they are.
For a time, a large number of speculators poured into this country to take a share in this gluttonous feast. With it, tulips gradually changed from a flower to a symbol of money.
People have come up with countless legends and given it countless excellent qualities. For a time, it seems that this flower should only exist in heaven, and even set a record that the price has doubled 59 times a year. ” When Chengying said this, he paused. Looking at the look of expectation on everyone's face, he seemed to want to participate in such a feast, so he continued:
”People are crazy about buying and hoarding tulips. As long as they cultivate their bulbs, they will soon grow new bulbs, and then sell them at a higher price. As for whether the price of tulips will rise, it seems to be a question that doesn't need to be considered. The sharp rise of 59 times a year is not taken for granted?
People in that country thought so until one day, a young sailor was a foreigner. As a newcomer, he didn't know that there was a tide of tulip speculation in China.
The sailor was rewarded by the shipowner for his hard work. When he left the ship, he took a tulip bulb named ”eternal Augustus”. The ship owner bought the bulb from the Amsterdam exchange for 3000 gold coins.
When the shipowner found that the tulip was lost, he went to the sailor and found him in a restaurant, but he found that the sailor was satisfied with swallowing the bulb with smoked fish. ” At this point, the photographer paused again, but everyone dared not speak.
Because the story developed here, people also woke up at this moment. The tulip is just a flower, not real money.
Flowers will breed, and bulbs will grow more and more, even exponentially. But who will be the last player in the future? Facing the end of the story, everyone seemed to be facing an avalanche, and the voice of breathing decreased for a moment.
”The sailor knew nothing about the value of tulip bulbs. He thought that bulbs, like onions, should be eaten together as a seasoning for herring.
A bulb worth thousands of gold coins is like an onion in the eyes of a stranger. It is difficult for the judge to decide whether the sailor is crazy or the Dutch is too irrational.
