To put it mildly, Andy won it for 600 yuan.

If it is replaced by Lao Su, it is estimated that it will be 300 yuan, and it can only be said that Andy is still a little tender. Of course, when it comes to bargaining, Populus euphratica is even less adept.

According to the valuation of Populus euphratica, the value of this agate suction cup is more than 20,000 yuan, not to mention picking up big leaks, it can be regarded as a big profit.

Of course, Lao Su's harvest is even greater, as long as Hu Yang didn't make a move just now, he seems to collect garbage, and he will not refuse.

Sure enough, with a master following, it is cool to visit the antique market. In other words, Lao Su has to grind for half an hour to see something, and he is still not sure, it looks a bit like the real thing, but he is not sure. How could it be as easy as it is today?

Therefore, the distance between the master and half a bucket of water can be seen at once.

When he really came into contact with Populus euphratica, Lao Su knew that this young man's strength was terrifying. There are a lot of things, almost all of which can be seen through at a few glances, and among the antique peers he knows, there seems to be no one more powerful than Populus euphratica.

It's an underground market, and there's everything.

"Wood can also bet?" Andy and the others were surprised.

In the middle, there is a large pile of wood, the thick diameter is forty or fifty centimeters, the thin one is the thickness of the wrist, and the onlookers are noisy.

"It's very common, you haven't been to Hainan, have you? I guess that the boss is also from Hainan. Lao Su said familiarly.

In the world of gambling stones, there are crazy stones. And in the gambling wood world, there are also crazy wood, and some people are also bankrupt in order to gamble on wood. Among them, there is Lao Su's friend, who owes a lot of debt.

Of course, the reason why it is called crazy wood is that in addition to the phenomenon of "gambling on wood", there is also the crazy speculation of timber merchants.

Like Hainan Huanghuali, from 2002 20,000 yuan per ton has been fried to 8 million yuan per ton, and the value of Hainan Huanghuali has increased 400 times in 8 years. The madness of logs began to be transmitted to the finished product market, a set of Huanghuali furniture used to be hundreds of thousands of yuan has been a sky-high price, now millions of yuan is not unusual; thousands of yuan or even tens of thousands of yuan of Huanghuali wood carving handicrafts are frantically sought after by collectors, as long as there are goods are all eaten.

"So, all those pieces of wood are from Hainan?" asked Andy.

Lao Su shook his head when he heard this: "That should be mahogany, and now many mahogany in China come from Africa and Southeast Asia." In the past, we often said Vietnamese rosewood because most of the rosewood is imported from Vietnam.

But after more than 10 years of logging, Vietnam's rosewood resources have been depleted. The Vietnamese government has strictly banned the felling of small quantities of high-quality mahogany such as sour branches and pears stored in primary forests. At present, with the convenience of being close to the sea, Vietnam has become a transit point for the export of rosewood from Cambodia and other places, in fact, the 'Vietnamese rosewood' collectively referred to by the Chinese industry comes from Cambodia and other countries.

I think the wood came from Southeast Asia. ”

Ningbo, as a seaport city, couldn't be more convenient for customs to import some timber.

In Lao Su's view, African rosewood is the least valuable, and if it is imported, it is generally a big material. Like the one in front of me, even the thickness of the wrist is taken out to gamble, which is not in accordance with the law.

When everyone took a closer look, the audience in the live broadcast room was quite surprised. Thick wood is not as expensive as a small one.

Every piece of wood has a price tag. The thickest is a piece of wood with a diameter of about half a meter, and the price tag is only 20,000 yuan. And one that is slightly thicker than an arm is priced at 380,000.

There is a pit, right?

What's even more ironic is that the boss kept saying that Tong Su was not bullied.

"What kind of wood, so expensive?" Andy couldn't help but ask.

After following Brother Hu for so long, he can be regarded as having seen the world, and there are indeed a lot of valuable wood, which can even be said to be more expensive than gold.

"He would probably say it was Indian Rosewood. Hu Yang smiled.

Sure enough, the boss once again stated that the small piece was an authentic Indian small-leaved red sandalwood.

As the saying goes, people are divided into three, six, nine, and so on, and wood is divided into pear rosewood. Rosewood has been a precious wood since ancient times, and it is indescribably expensive.

As we all know, there are many kinds of red sandalwood, including large-leaved red sandalwood and small-leaved red sandalwood. In general, the small-leaved red sandalwood is more precious. The small-leaved red sandalwood is also different according to the origin, and the price is different. We use the best quality and color from the south of India.

Indian small-leaved red sandalwood, that is, sandalwood red sandalwood is one of the main materials used in court furniture in the Ming and Qing dynasties in China, which makes red sandalwood have a historical and cultural color; after the middle of the Qing Dynasty, small leaf red sandalwood is gradually only held by princes and nobles, and the common people rarely hear of it. Coupled with the fact that it is not made in China, it is even more mysterious.

This is authentic Indian rosewood, don't say I'm expensive. The boss boasted.

If it is really India's small-leaved red sandalwood, there is no bad intention, and the quality is good, just carve a few things out, and you will make a lot of money.

Now, everyone is betting on whether it will be hollow.

You know, the hollow heart rate of red sandalwood is very large. It is precisely in this way that this wood is gamable.

The audience in the live broadcast room watched it for a while, and the wood couldn't tell what kind of wood it was at all, did you say that it was India's small-leaved red sandalwood, is it India's small-leaved red sandalwood?

Everyone was about to complain like this, but the boss had already used a knife and cut directly on the so-called "Indian small-leaved red sandalwood" and made a small piece of sawdust down.

"For your own sake, I have been in business for so many years, there is no need to deceive everyone and ruin my reputation. ”

As he spoke, he threw the sawdust into a glass of water. 14

"This can tell if it is India's small leaf red sandalwood?" someone in the live broadcast room asked.

Hu Yang explained: "What is in the glass should be alcohol. When the small-leaved red sandalwood is put in, red pterostilbene will seep out of the rosewood in the form of smoke. ”

Not long after the words ended, everyone saw a faint red smoke seeping out of the sawdust.

"Looking at it this way, it should be true. Xiaoxiao was surprised, thinking that the boss was a liar!

"Oh! Not necessarily. Lao Su said with a smile.

He is more familiar with these doors, and the more he proves that it is true, the more false it is, and it is all a routine.

When everyone heard Lao Su's words, they couldn't help but look at Brother Hu, everyone only believed Brother Hu.

Hu Yang nodded in agreement: "Well, this doesn't mean much, it's not very difficult to create such a scene." ”

"Besides, the small-leaved red sandalwood from other origins can also have such a phenomenon, and many people are easy to be fooled. Lao Su was very happy to see that Hu Yang agreed with his statement.

At this time, Populus euphratica corrected Lao Su's statement: "Strictly speaking, only the Indian ones of the small-leaved red sandalwood are authentic, or in other words, there is only one kind of small-leaved red sandalwood." We often hear about the small-leaved red sandalwood from other origins, in fact, it is because the red sandalwood is precious, and many originally unknown tree species are given the name of red sandalwood. ”

Belch!

This time, even Lao Su was in the circle, and it was the first time he had heard such a statement.

"Is that so?"

Hu Yang smiled and asked: "This point, many experts will be confused, uncle, you don't know, it's not surprising." Everyone is also accustomed to some similar tree species acting as small-leaved red sandalwood, but there is a distinction between high and low.

Just now, the piece of wood chips he cut should be scratched on the white paper, and if there are orange scratches, it will be more convincing. This is a very simple way to test, but the boss didn't do it just now, whether there is a ghost or not, it is unknown. ”

In fact, to identify whether a piece of wood is an authentic Indian small-leaved red sandalwood, it needs to be analyzed from many aspects, such as: fluorescent, scratched, and immersed in water, and then judged according to four points: color, texture, brown eye and oil texture.

Hu Yang's words alleviated Lao Su's embarrassment.

"Is that true or fake?" Ran Ran rolled his eyes.

"Listen to your brother Hu!" Lao Su glared at his woman.

Hu Yang whispered with certainty: "Fake, and fake very low-level." If you look closely at the cut surface of the sawdust just now, is there a growth ring?"

Well?

A lot of people are weird. Isn't it normal for wood to have growth rings?

"Does the small leaf red sandalwood have no annual rings?" Andy couldn't help but ask.

Populus euphratica explained: "It's not nothing, but the small-leaved red sandalwood is said to take a thousand years to become a tree, and a hundred years is only an inch wide." Think about it! If you draw a hundred circles in an inch of space, can you still see the annual rings?"

With such an explanation, everyone understands. It's not that there are no rings, it's that the rings are so dense that you can't see them clearly.

"I see. The audience in the live broadcast room also suddenly realized that they liked Brother Hu's easy-to-understand explanation, even if they were not insiders, they would understand it as soon as they heard it.

"In the future, you can look at the rings of wood, if it is very clear, how precious it is, you don't believe it. The more obvious the growth rings, the faster the tree grows, which is basically worthless. Hu Yang added.

Andy disdained: "That's nothing to look at." ”

This situation is even more disgusting and quite bad than gambling when you are out of the box. I don't know if anyone will expose him.

However, through Brother Hu's live broadcast room, everyone has also seen the phenomenon of fakes rampant in the antique market, even if they know that they are fake, they usually do not point it out in person, and it has almost become an unwritten rule.

So, you can't expect anything.

Only Lao Su and Hu Yang are accustomed to it, so let's talk about gambling stones! Those rough stones are also fake! The same is the same thing that is taken out for gambling, since stones can be faked, there is nothing to complain about wood fraud.

In fact, as long as it is valuable, it is inevitable that there will be counterfeiting.

"Let's go, let's go and see something else. Lao Su also said.

Hu Yang said: "Don't worry, that piece with thick wrists, the price is only 3,000 yuan, you two girls can take it down, it should be a good material." ”

When Xiaoxiao heard this, she looked at each other, and she was not polite.

Although the two of them are not very short of pocket money, since it was Brother Hu who instructed them, of course they can't let it go!

Maybe the material is too small, so no one is optimistic, and the bottom price of the two girls is 3,000 yuan.
