Mr. Xiang is buying a variety of roses for his store in Beijing.
It appears I have just bought Mr. Xiang tow hundred Carola rose at 10p each.

At peak times, like in the run up to the new year, 5 million flowers can be sold here every day, that’s over 3 thousand every minute.
Despite my help, Mr. Xiang purchases 6 to 7 thousand roses at the total cost of 8000 Yuan, which is around 860 pounds.
These flowers will be sold to the customers the very next day all ready for the New Year’s Eve celebrations.
