00:00JAPANESE VERSION
00:25This time...
00:27We're talking about buying it cheaply and selling it at a high price.
00:31Are you talking about selling used cars?
00:35No, I'm serious.
00:37I'm sorry.
00:39I'd like you to get along with the buyer.
00:43I see.
00:45Hello.
00:47Nice to meet you.
00:49I'm Mr. Takeoka.
00:51Nice to meet you, Mr. Takeoka.
00:54Mr. Takeoka is a buyer of overseas plants.
00:59He's been a buyer for 30 years.
01:02He moved from being a salaried worker
01:05and started a small garden that deals with overseas rare plants.
01:13He mainly buys from Southeast Asia,
01:17and he often buys from Bikakushida.
01:24Bikakushida, which was purchased for 1 million yen in the program,
01:29was actually purchased by Mr. Takeoka
01:32from a famous farmer in Thailand.
01:41This time, the ambitious Mr. Ariyoshi is also very excited.
01:45He learns about the world of the unknown plant buyer.
01:50Wow!
01:52It's bent!
01:54It's about 20,000 to 100,000 yen.
01:57Are you serious? Let's buy it!
02:01What kind of job does a plant buyer do?
02:07For example, I sell plants at Japanese garden shops,
02:11boutiques, and even at interior shops.
02:16I sell my plants at those places.
02:19I also sell my plants to people who have their own hobbies.
02:23I want people to find out what kind of plants they want.
02:28Oh, I see.
02:31I can't imagine how much he asks for.
02:36From now on, when Mr. Takeoka visits a farm in Thailand,
02:41he will learn about buying plants while looking at them.
02:46Wow!
02:47Do you know this? Bikakushida.
02:50This is a variety called Jenny.
02:53Wow!
02:55It's a dwarf type of Bikakushida.
02:58It's the origin of the compact type.
03:01It was the first time in Japan that we realized how great it was.
03:06That's how we started importing it.
03:09I see.
03:10There are many types of Bikakushida,
03:13but I think you have one.
03:15Yes, I do.
03:16It's the origin of Bikakushida.
03:18I see.
03:20Where did you get it?
03:22The original is called Jenny, but it's Thai.
03:26Thai?
03:27Yes.
03:28I made it at a farm like this.
03:30This is amazing.
03:32Yes.
03:34Wow!
03:35This is all Bikakushida.
03:38Yes.
03:39That's amazing.
03:42These are all parent plants.
03:45From here?
03:46Yes.
03:47They produce babies and sell them all over the world.
03:51It's about 500,000 to 1,000,000 yen.
03:54Wow!
03:55That's amazing.
03:57Babies are produced from here,
03:59so they can be even more expensive.
04:02I see.
04:04You can make the same type of Bikakushida, right?
04:07Yes, you can.
04:08That's amazing.
04:10It's here.
04:12It takes a lot of courage.
04:14Yes.
04:15It's hard to get it imported.
04:18Even if it doesn't sell well,
04:21you have to buy a few dozen of them.
04:24That's how it started.
04:26Then it started to sell.
04:28That's how it started.
04:30That's amazing.
04:31Yes.
04:32Wow, that's amazing.
04:34This is a farm in the mountains.
04:37You can make it like this.
04:39Wow, that's amazing.
04:40Yes.
04:41They all look amazing.
04:44The great thing about Thailand is that
04:46there are many buyers from all over the world.
04:48If you can hit one of them,
04:50you'll get a lot of money.
04:52So you can say,
04:53I bought a mountain the next time I went there.
04:55I bought a house the next time I went there.
04:57That's how it works.
04:58I see.
04:59But it's not that it's bad.
05:01It has a lot of dreams.
05:03There are a lot of young people who aim for that.
05:08It's easier to get started than to sell.
05:10That's true.
05:11It's easier to get started than to sell.
05:13That's true.
05:14It has a dream.
05:15That's true.
05:16That's amazing.
05:18A Thai production farm full of expensive plants.
05:22What's the security like?
05:25It's like an open-air shop.
05:27It's really outside.
05:28There's a black frame called a security guard.
05:31There's a place to stay.
05:33There are expensive things like that.
05:35There are security cameras everywhere.
05:38That's right.
05:39The owner of this farm has been to Japan.
05:42He's been around with me.
05:44He's been watching me on his cell phone all day.
05:47He's been watching me from a distance.
05:49He's been watching me from a distance.
05:50And the dogs talk at night.
05:52That's right.
05:53It's pretty scary.
05:54Thai dogs sleep in the daytime because it's hot.
05:57But they wake up at night.
05:59If someone comes, they bark at them.
06:01They work.
06:03The security is perfect.
06:05Even if you wear a employee mask, you'll be robbed right away.
06:08That's right.
06:09That's what happens.
06:10That's right.
06:13This is...
06:14This is a perfume.
06:16We import this as well.
06:18That's right.
06:20How much is this if you sell it on the market?
06:25I don't know.
06:26I think it depends on the store.
06:28For example, you can sell it for 2 million yen.
06:31Even if it's 2 million yen, I think it's cheap.
06:35Even if it's this big, you can't have dirt on it.
06:38Absolutely not.
06:39You can't have dirt on it.
06:40Absolutely not.
06:41That's amazing.
06:43You need courage to take all the dirt off this.
06:48That's right.
06:49It's very likely to wither.
06:50That's right.
06:51This will wither.
06:53It will wither.
06:55It won't wither and you can't exchange it.
06:58That's right.
06:59As you know, that's right.
07:01If you pay money here, it's over.
07:05That's a great job.
07:08How much is it?
07:10Is it bad if it's half?
07:12It depends on the type.
07:13If it's half, it's bad.
07:15Also, you may know about plants.
07:18When you come to Japan, you have to buy all the plants.
07:21If there is a bug, you have to kill it or burn it.
07:36That's amazing.
07:37It's hard to import plants in Japan.
07:42There are many failures.
07:45I still make mistakes.
07:47You gamble a lot, don't you?
07:49Yes, I do.
07:50I quit gambling after I started my own company.
07:53That's right.
07:55It's not the time to use your luck.
07:57It's not the time to gamble.
07:58That's right.
08:00It's expensive.
08:03Next.
08:05This is called Sansevieria.
08:07Yes.
08:08It's a strong plant.
08:09That's right.
08:10This is a breeder from Sansevieria.
08:16I didn't know that.
08:18I didn't know that.
08:20It looks kind.
08:21Yes.
08:22It's called Ayamani Garden.
08:24It's in Thailand.
08:26They are the owners.
08:28They make new plants.
08:31That's amazing.
08:33This is the roof of their big house.
08:37They don't let us in.
08:39I spent a lot of money to buy this.
08:42That's right.
08:44I spent a lot of money to buy this.
08:46This is a new plant.
08:48They put what they want to collect here.
08:53They don't put it in a normal place.
08:56Do they work together?
08:58Yes, they do.
09:01They make it from seeds.
09:03It takes a lot of time.
09:05They dig and select the seeds.
09:10They make it darker.
09:14It takes a lot of time.
09:17It's beautiful.
09:20It's an interesting shape.
09:22Do you know Sansevieria?
09:24Yes, of course.
09:25I have a lot of ghosts at home.
09:32That's amazing.
09:33This is also Sansevieria.
09:35I didn't know that.
09:37It looks like an object.
09:39To be honest, I couldn't sell it for 2 million yen.
09:44I see.
09:46I think the owner is waiting for his child to come out.
09:50Or he doesn't sell it because he loves his child.
09:54He doesn't sell it for 2 million yen.
09:57I don't know when he will die.
09:59So I sell it right away.
10:02Is it strong?
10:05Yes, it's strong.
10:07It's beautiful.
10:11If you sell it, I'll negotiate with you later.
10:15I see.
10:21I might have to increase the number of seeds.
10:25Next.
10:27That's amazing.
10:29This is the latest.
10:32It's a monster.
10:34It's called Devil Monster.
10:36I've never seen this before.
10:38In Thailand, one leaf costs between 500,000 and 800,000 yen.
10:45I have two of these, so it's worth 1.6 million yen.
10:48That's a lot.
10:51That's right.
10:53It's coming out little by little.
10:56This is also popular all over the world.
10:59Especially in Southeast Asia.
11:02It seems to be popular among Japanese customers.
11:05However, the price is lower than that of Filipinos and Indonesians.
11:10I see.
11:12I think this is good.
11:14If you get this, it will be popular.
11:17That's right.
11:20Monstera deliciosa is a type of plant that cannot produce white flowers stably.
11:26It is said that if a beautiful flower is sold to the world,
11:30buyers from all over the world will buy it.
11:36Thai people also buy this.
11:40There are many actors and TV hosts who buy this.
11:46I see.
11:48Do Thai people buy this because it's beautiful?
11:51Do they increase the price?
11:53No, they don't.
11:55They sell it at a higher price because it has their name on it.
12:00They sell it at a higher price because it has their name on it.
12:04Is this a good price?
12:09I don't know the exact price.
12:14I usually tell them the price.
12:18I usually tell them the price.
12:22There are many people who run a farm as a family.
12:25For example, if the owner is a son,
12:28his mother is watching him.
12:31Then he says something like,
12:33I'm interested in that.
12:36I think it's okay to raise the price a little.
12:39Do you negotiate with your mother?
12:41Yes.
12:43I can speak Thai.
12:46I can speak Thai because I'm Japanese.
12:49I can hear it.
12:51I often negotiate with my mother.
12:54This is also a farm.
12:56You can't go around without this.
12:58There are monstera and aloe plants.
13:01We look at them and buy them.
13:05It's big, isn't it?
13:07How do you keep an eye on it?
13:10It's easy to grow because the soil is good.
13:13On the other hand, it's hot all the time.
13:16Japanese famous plants die if you go over there.
13:21For example, Haoluchia.
13:24Haoluchia is too thick.
13:27It's dangerous.
13:29I carry plants like this.
13:31That's amazing.
13:33That's amazing.
13:35It's piled up.
13:38I think it's okay.
13:40I think so, too.
13:42Thai people say,
13:44It's okay.
13:46It's interesting.
13:48There are many dangerous things.
13:51It's not just in Thailand.
13:53It's all over the world.
13:55From Southeast Asia to Europe and South America.
13:58It's scary.
14:00There are many plants in Thailand now.
14:02There are many plants in Southeast Asia now.
14:05Plants from all over the world gather in Thailand.
14:08I want you to go there once.
14:11It's amazing.
14:13After this.
14:15Is this popular?
14:18The best plants introduced by overseas buyers.
14:22It's interesting.
14:24You and I have a dream.
14:28Ariyoshi Engei
14:36Ariyoshi Engei
14:43The boom that occurs from time to time in the Engei world.
14:47The source of the boom is a plant buyer like Mr. Takeoka.
14:54If you get it now,
14:57You will learn about hot plants in various ways.
15:02The first place to introduce is Sansevieria, which is often seen at Engei stores.
15:09Unlike the general variety,
15:12It seems that a new variety has been born that tickles the collector's mind in recent years.
15:19It's out again.
15:21Is this popular?
15:23It's amazing.
15:25It's twisted.
15:27It's interesting.
15:30It's all Sansevieria.
15:40It's amazing.
15:42It's interesting.
15:44It's a little different from the Sansevieria you know.
15:48It's completely different.
15:51It's going up one more.
15:53I wonder if it's more beautiful.
15:56There is also a pattern.
15:58It's beautiful.
16:00It's twisted, isn't it?
16:02This is also a hybrid.
16:05It's amazing.
16:07It's all beautiful and interesting.
16:10This is also amazing.
16:13It was made by a man and a woman.
16:17It's amazing.
16:19There are five of them, but they have already passed through.
16:25People in Southeast Asia make this and sell it, right?
16:29If you sell it, you can make a different plant with the money you get.
16:34You can make a new one next time.
16:37You can buy it again.
16:40What's interesting is that everyone is very particular about it.
16:44You can make it this way and this way.
16:47You can make it round and round.
16:49You can mix them together.
16:51They are very serious about it.
16:53It was born from that.
16:55I think it's cheaper than the plants that are popular in Japan now.
16:59I see.
17:01That's why you should invest here now.
17:04As expected.
17:06You are a businessman.
17:09Of course, the price will go up.
17:12I think so.
17:15How much is it now?
17:17It depends.
17:19I think it's about 200,000 to 100,000 yen.
17:23Really? Let's buy it.
17:27Plants have a cycle.
17:30The boom comes back once every 10 to 15 years.
17:35Agave has become very popular in Japan.
17:39Agave was also popular a long time ago.
17:42In contrast, Sansevieria doesn't grow that much.
17:47It doesn't take a lot of time.
17:49There are many types.
17:51That's why I think it will be popular.
17:55You can't tell if it's a cycle if you don't do it for a long time.
18:00What we're looking at is...
18:03For example, in Southeast Asia, it's popular in Thailand.
18:08Then it becomes quiet.
18:11Then people in Indonesia and Singapore start to grow.
18:16That's a good sign.
18:18That's a good sign.
18:20I see.
18:21It's like an influenza.
18:23It's coming.
18:27The reason why Mr. Takeoka predicts the Sansevieria boom is...
18:32It's easy to grow and increase.
18:35In addition, there are many types and it's compact.
18:40And this unique shape is attractive.
18:44It reminds me of an opera house in Australia.
18:49In Japan, it's hard to get.
18:56In addition, it's a hybrid species created by a famous botanist.
19:01It's starting to gain attention as an interior design.
19:07Next, we're going to introduce...
19:10Aloe plants that are often seen in cafes and offices in Japan.
19:16This is also a unique species unique to Southeast Asia.
19:24This is a plant called Aglaonema.
19:27This is an Alocasia.
19:29It's a plant that's been around in Japan for a long time.
19:33This has been improved a lot in Southeast Asia.
19:37It has a very interesting color and shape.
19:43For example, it has a red leaf and red veins.
19:49Aglaonema has red veins and Aglaonema has a bright color.
19:55It's easy to grow.
19:57It takes 3 to 4 years to grow.
20:02Aglaonema has been around for a long time.
20:04Many Aglaonema plants in Japan are from Europe.
20:08It's called Mericronae.
20:11It's good because it's easy to buy because it's cheap.
20:16In Southeast Asia, it's not interesting.
20:20So we decided to color it ourselves.
20:25This is called Alocasia.
20:27It's a hybrid.
20:29It's normal, right?
20:31Yes, it's a leaf.
20:32According to the breeders who make Alocasia,
20:36it's a hybrid of the famous Alocasia and the famous hybrid.
20:41The more you know, the more you understand.
20:46I think it's a good Shiba Inu.
20:53It's a Shiba Inu.
20:55It's beautiful, isn't it?
20:58I think it's a good Shiba Inu.
21:00It's intellectual.
21:03Will it grow bigger?
21:05No, it won't.
21:07We're thinking about it.
21:09Japan is a compact country.
21:13But people in Asia and Taiwan are small like us.
21:18So we can't sell big plants.
21:20So we're trying to improve the variety to make it compact.
21:25How much does it cost?
21:28It's not that expensive.
21:30It's about 100,000 yen.
21:32Really?
21:34You're a champion.
21:36This is the newest plant.
21:40But it's not that expensive.
21:42It's about 30,000 yen.
21:44Normally, you can buy Alocasia for 1,000 yen.
21:48So it's expensive.
21:50We spent a lot of time to make this plant.
21:55So as a buyer, we look at the producer's face.
21:59We buy the plant at the price the producer says.
22:03The price goes down after a year.
22:06Is it easy to grow?
22:10Yes, it's easy to grow.
22:12It takes time.
22:14Are they all the same?
22:17These three are different.
22:20This one has a red bud in the middle.
22:24It's difficult to grow.
22:26I want you to grow this one.
22:29I didn't know this kind of plant was popular.
22:32What if I buy it?
22:37Mr. Takeoka's favorite is this color.
22:42Many varieties of Alocasia are well-known in Japan.
22:45But in Europe, Alocasia has been improved as a garden variety.
22:51The exotic color and compactness of Alocasia
22:54have been improved by farmers in Southeast Asia.
23:00A very rare black bud.
23:04Pink and red veins have increased the value of the plant.
23:09It is expected to become popular in Japan.
23:16After this, he buys a favorite plant.
23:30I'm sorry.
23:32I came to see everyone.
23:36I want to buy all of them.
23:39Do you have children?
23:41Yes, I have children.
23:43Do you have a chance?
23:45Yes, I have a chance.
23:47Thank you very much.
23:50How much is it?
23:52I think it's about 70,000 yen.
23:55It's a little expensive because it's imported.
23:58This is Opera House.
24:00I really like this.
24:02This is Australia.
24:04How much is this?
24:06It's not that expensive.
24:08It's about 30,000 to 40,000 yen.
24:10Thank you very much.
24:12I want to buy something cheap inside.
24:18He bought two things.
24:20The first is Sansevieria Opera House.
24:24The leaves that develop like Sydney Opera House are a characteristic variety.
24:31The second is Sansevieria Andaman Opera House.
24:37This is a popular variety of Andaman Opera House.
24:42It is treated as a rare individual.
24:45It is said to have a high root.
24:49The deciding factor in purchasing is that the seedlings are already out.
24:54Let's entrust the machine to this seedling and raise it carefully.
25:01If you come to Thailand once, there are a lot of interesting places.
25:06If you have that, you will have a lot of things you like.
25:10That's right.
25:12I want to save money someday and go to Thailand on a program.
25:17By all means.
25:19Thank you very much.
25:21Thank you very much.
25:24I didn't know this kind of thing was popular.
25:27See you again.
