Lan mutants ran out of time to scream at the sky, buy hundreds of millions and sell for millions, players were happy to shed tears and still cut their losses

From billions of dollars to cheap discounts like… water spinach

Spending 120 million VND to buy 5-petal white orchid in Phu Tho in 2020, Mr. Hoang Van Chung (Vinh Phuc) thought he was a lucky person when he bought a beautiful orchid while the price of orchid was hot. After much hesitation, Mr. Chung was unable to sell this “precious” orchid at the desired price. However, recently, after accepting the true value of what he owned, the “player” for a while had to sell this orchid for only 14 million VND.

“Although the selling price is only a tenth of the purchase price, I am very happy that I can still cut my losses, rather than just leaving it in the garden every day to look at the orchids, I don’t feel peaceful, I only see more sadness.“, Hoang Van Chung said after deciding decisively with the orchid.

Phu Tho’s 5 white petals were once likened to a beauty queen, with an expensive price of hundreds of millions of dong.

Once upon a time, in the period of 2020-2021, the orchid world had a fever with orchids of all kinds. Some popular orchid species have stormed the market, now no different from debt, including names that only people who play orchids will remember and recognize such as: Hong Yen Thuy (HYT), Hong Minh Chau (HMC), 5 white wings Phu Tho (5CT PT), 5 white wings Hien Oanh (5CT HO), 5 white wings open eyes Hai Duong (5CT MMHD), pink flamingo K1, pink heaven thunder, pink eyes fire, …

According to the owner of the orchid garden D.L. (Hanoi), having tried his luck and been successful many times, in 2021 he won a lot by selling orchids “blowing prices”, then the owner of this garden decided to “play big” when he quit. spent up to 9 billion dong just to buy a ham with 5 white wings in Phu Tho, 10cm high.

Luck does not come forever, his “nine billion” orchid is now more than 30cm long, but it is no different from the top of morning glory because in the eyes of a merchant like him it has no value.

“Just accept it now. The game is like a gamble, and this gamble cannot be recovered. Fortunately, the amount of 9 billion spent on this orchid is money earned before, plus the family’s savings, but if I borrow a bank loan, I don’t know why.“, the owner of the orchid garden D.L. confided.

In the same situation, Mr. Nguyen Duc Manh (Hanoi) once loved orchid passionately, but until now, Mr. Manh said he did not bother to water and bathe the orchid every day.

Deciphering the above phenomenon, a longtime orchid player said: “It’s just that the mutant orchid players pushed the price of the orchid up too high, real players can’t afford to buy it, the market is controlled by sword traders. word. But if a beautiful orchid pot costs from a few hundred thousand to several million dong, the market’s liquidity will be abundant. Playing orchids watching flowers has never been “hot”, only orchids watching leaves will be broken because of the virtual price.

“This game is not for the faint of heart. It’s just a form of multi-level, not a passion. The people who come in first drag people in later by consolidating goods, blowing prices, and finally only brokers and the first few traders benefit.”, another lan player said.

Sluggish, players cheat each other

On the forums that used to be the exchange of orchid lovers, now there are almost only garden owners who post orchid auctions at low prices, but there is almost no interaction.

The 81 rose for sale with a starting price of 120,000 VND, but Huyen Trang, an orchid garden owner in Tuyen Quang, only received the silence of the crowd. Similarly, Ms. Thuy Duong, an orchid garden owner in Hanoi, auctioned off the Queen Queen 28 with a starting price of 120,000 VND. However, these posts do not receive any interaction even though the forum has hundreds of thousands of members.

Even an orchid garden owner in Bao Loc (Lam Dong) sells a “brother love” orchid for 333,000 VND including shipping. However, the owner of this garden only receives “bad” bids from 100,000 to 150,000 VND.

These orchids are sold at auction starting at 120,000 VND but no one buys them.

More tragic, the situation of cheating each other still takes place among the orchid traders, making many people difficult now even more difficult. Mr. Minh Ngoc (Nam Dinh) said that he sold Hong Minh Chau orchids for 26 million VND to a player from January 1, 2022, although he had carefully recorded the transaction, but so far the buyer still did not. willing to pay. After all, Mr. Ngoc had to post clips on orchid trading forums to “unmask” the debtor and warn the community.

Ironically, his posts became a place for the orchid community to “fight” each other’s money tricks between people buying and selling orchids. Mr. Le Viet Tan (Bien Hoa City, Dong Nai Province) said that he was also cheated of 15 million VND because he trusted his “partner” who had done business with each other many times.

Two transactions totaling 18.7 million VND were sent to the orchid seller, but then the seller disappeared without a word.

“Previously, I had a transaction to buy 4 snow white orchids from Mr. QH, each from 3cm to 4cm for 50 million VND and sent back to the garden to ask him to take care of the pot. On April 22, 2022, I transferred him an additional 18.7 million VND to trade in 7cm snow white tree and 2 original sprouts. However, after a week of returning to the garden, he could not meet Mr. QH as well as the plants he bought, called and did not pick up the phone. His relatives said he was detained by the police, but my house and his house are only 10km apart, so it is not difficult to investigate the information about being detained.“, said Mr. Tan.

In addition, there are cases of selling the wrong tree, when the buyer discovers that the tree is not of the right type and claims compensation, the seller has no sound. Many people spent tens of millions of dong but received the type of orchid that was not as committed, had to swallow bitterly.
