Chapter 711: Replacing Wine with Tea
The day was hot and upset, the wine worm in Lao Cai's stomach began to rebel again, he wanted to drink but didn't dare to drink, Wu Yingcheng thought about the baby, and it was better not to let him know too much, so he took the initiative to ask Ying to open it himself.
As soon as he heard this, his mouth was full of laughter, but it was a pity that Liu Jianguo was allergic to alcohol and drank all over his body, of course, Wu Yingcheng knew about it, so he could only drink alone, and Wu Yingcheng and the two of them replaced the wine with tea.
However, Lao Cai was a real drunkard, and even though he drank alone, he quickly got himself drunk, and after a while he climbed onto the table and snored.
Wu Yingcheng saw that the time was ripe, so he took out a string of beads, which was estimated to have been secretly stuffed into his trouser pocket by Wu Yanhong, which was exactly the same as the material of the bed, and it should have been made of leftover materials for the bed at that time, and it was ground out by several craftsmen.
He also found out about the last pack of cigarettes in his trouser pocket just now, thinking that it was in the bag anyway, so he asked Liu Jianguo to take a look.
In addition to looking at the jade accuracy, he is looking at this kind of literary and entertainment things, as long as he looks at the wood, age, and grade, he can break it.
Even decades later, in that era when the market was full of imitations, replacing the old with the new, and replacing the solid wood with gluing, he had never suffered a loss.
"Brother, can you help me see what this bracelet is made of?"
Liu Jianguo came in and looked at the dishes on the table, although he was a little restrained and didn't hold much, he never stopped chopsticks, he was already four points full, and he was much more energetic.
He gently put down his chopsticks, stood up, and took it gently, a little bit like the feeling of wealth and nobility decades later.
Based on this, Wu Yingcheng can conclude that the Liu Jianguo in front of him is his friend Liu Jianguo in his previous life, and he is less vigilant in his heart.
Liu Jianguo looked at it for half a minute, then handed over the bracelet again, and said, "Brother Wu, if I'm not mistaken, this should be the old material of the small-leaved red sandalwood of Indu, and the age of the tree should be more than eight hundred years, which is a rare treasure." ”
"Pounce... , what?"
Wu Yingcheng drank a sip of tea in his mouth, and almost didn't squirt it out.
"This is the old red sandalwood, I thought it was mahogany?"
Liu Jianguo took a sip of tea and said: "Brother Wu, mahogany, also known as sour jujube branches, is indeed very similar to red sandalwood in terms of appearance and color.
But red sandalwood is a nobleman in the wood, hundreds of years to grow into a tree, but also ten trees and nine empty, absorb the aura of heaven and earth, pick the strength of all things, so its taste is fragrant and long, plus there are tumors in the tree, so there are golden spots in the cut lines, also known as Venus.
In addition, the density and hardness of red sandalwood are high, and under the same volume, red sandalwood is obviously heavier. ”
Wu Yingcheng took it in his hand and looked at it, and sure enough, there were a few gold stars on the bead.
In fact, there is such a friend, he also had some red sandalwood objects in his previous life, and he knew that this thing was extremely expensive, and there was an inch of red sandalwood and an inch of gold.
It's just that Wu Yanhong is such a big bed, he really can't imagine that it is all made of this thing.
"Do you know, brother, how much is it worth if you make a bed for the emperor to sleep on from this thing?"
Liu Jianguo is still like that, not in a hurry, this is a must-have for collectors, and it is also the minimum literacy of lovers of Dragon Kingdom culture.
"The yield of rosewood is very low, and the price is very expensive. According to what I have learned in the past few days, this kind of wood is now about 30 yuan a catty, and it is estimated that it will cost at least 40 yuan for this 800-year-old material.
If you count the ancient craftsmanship and the word emperor, such a bed is worth seventy or eighty thousand, and there is no problem at all. ”
Strike!
Wu Yingwei wanted to drink some cold water to suppress the shock, but now it was good, and he spit it out all in one gulp.
Seventy or eighty thousand, the ratio of one to eighty, converted to before his rebirth, that is five or six million, plus the crazy rise of red sandalwood in those years, this kind of antique-level plaything is also a high bed, and there is no problem with growing four or five times, isn't that more than 20 million?
If you add the value of this cultural relic, where can this price be high, even he doesn't dare to think about it, not to say that it is the first of the world's top ten rosewood furniture, I am afraid it is also the top three.
"You, are you sure?" Wu Yingcheng was a little disbelieving.
Liu Jianguo nodded very affirmatively, "Rosewood is already the Tree Emperor, if you add the Human Emperor, this price is a must."
It's just that wood is no better than other things, and it is very difficult to preserve, plus my dragon country has had many disasters and disasters in the past hundred years, and it is impossible for such a thing to exist in this world. ”
"And what if I say I have?"
Wu Yingcheng didn't say this.
Beren is not guilty, but Huaibi is guilty.
He already had a priceless tripod before, and now he had such a bed.
Even if Liu Jianguo in front of him is trustworthy, no one can guarantee that he will not tell other experts about it.
As for the peasant brothers who helped, they didn't have to worry at all, they didn't even know much about mahogany, they just thought it was painted furniture.
Of course, before he has the ability to protect these treasures, he still doesn't want Liu Jianguo to meet with them, and he dispelled the idea of letting him go into the mountain to collect antiques all the time.
However, Liu Jianguo is an expert in this area, but he is just poor in money, he is not bad in money, but he doesn't understand, if the two can reach an agreement, it may not be a good thing to do this business together.
Thinking of this, Wu Yingcheng didn't take out a jade hairpin and wrench in his arms, first complimented Liu Jianguo for a while, and then tried it.
"Brother, I want to open a small shop in the county that sells antiques, but unfortunately I don't have time, and I don't know much about it, so I want to find someone in charge.
Risk sharing, profit sharing, that is, partnership, do you know any, introduce me to one?"
Liu Jianguo's eyes flashed, and he habitually swallowed his saliva again, not hungry, but greedy, because he didn't touch his stomach.
"Why don't I try it?"
Liu Jianguo didn't say this.
No one has done the antique business yet, with his ancestral skills, it is impossible to lose money, but since it is a store, it has to be collected and sold, and he has no money, and he has no antiques, how can he be embarrassed to say?
I could only blush, and said hesitantly: "This, me, my skills, were all taught to me by my father, and I didn't go into it, and I don't know many people in this area."
If you count the word partnership, it will be even less, it is nothing more than talented and moneyless, capable and unfunded, I am afraid that you will be affected by Brother Wu at that time. ”
Wu Yingcheng knows the habits of others, he has difficult things, and he is not willing to tell you that you have difficult things, but he runs faster than anyone else.
In the previous life, Wu Yingcheng had a problem with funds because of a mistake in business judgment, and he almost didn't survive, but this brother bought the lucky urine jar that had been treasured and funded her.
In this life, since it has been determined that he is the middle-aged man he once knew, the gentleman among the people who are in the mud and not dirty, the jade in the stone, no matter what he says, he has to help him, and he will help himself.
Of course, the ugly words still have to be said first, but they are more tactful.
Wu Yingcheng smiled, "It doesn't matter, as long as he is willing to come, it doesn't matter if he has money or not, just be loyal to his duties."
I don't have to worry about the storefront and the early utensils, I will find a way to get some to support the door as soon as possible, he only needs to bargain and buy some antiques. ”
Liu Jianguo swallowed another mouthful of saliva, greedy, very greedy, not greedy for these treasures, but greedy for this opportunity.
A gentleman does something and doesn't do something.
The things that are done must be as bright as the sun, shining with heaven and earth, bright and upright, and able to see people.
If you don't do it, it will be a matter of roosters and dogs, and you will be abducted and deceived.
But the world is so big, how can this matter be?
And for him, what Wu Yingcheng said is such a thing.
Why don't you fight for it and fight for it?
He no longer swallowed saliva, but picked up the water on the table to drink, excessive excitement and nervousness, making him feel a little dry, looking at Wu Yingcheng, as if he saw the goddess he had been pursuing for a long time.
Or, for him, an obsessive member of ancient culture, this realm is almost comparable to the hardcore character of Expert Luo, and when he sees the goddess, he may not have this nervous feeling.
"That, or, or me, I'll try!"
After speaking, he hurriedly lowered his head and kept rubbing his hands, like a shy little daughter-in-law.
Wu Yingcheng looked at him and remembered that when the two met for the first time, he asked him to help identify a piece of Hetian jade that he bought, and he was like this at that time.
Maybe this means that history is always playing out, but it just changes roles.
"Brother, I'm just waiting for your words. Come on, do it!"
Wu Yingcheng stood up as he said and raised the teacup in his hand.
"!"
Liu Jianguo didn't say anything and stood up, and the cups of the two touched together.
"Come on,!"
Before the two of them had separated their cups, Lao Cai suddenly woke up, picked up the water that Wu Yingcheng had just spit out, and drank it with a grunt.
When the two of them saw each other, they laughed, just like in the previous life, there was a feeling of seeing each other late, and there was a feeling that they had seen each other.
...
Although the matter has been settled, there are still many things to do, the most important thing is to find a house, Wu Yingcheng still has something to do, this matter can no longer be managed, so he can only roughly say the location.
Antiques are not better than other things, what do you want to be in charge and prosperous, especially the antiques of this era, many people in the city regard that thing as a treasure, and generally do not show it easily.
As for what some books say, buying them as scrap can happen in rural areas where the population is sparse and the information is closed.
But there are many people in the city, and the mouths are mixed, and the people of that era, unlike decades later, all bought houses, like buying coffins, one person and one nest, and no one bothered anyone.
In this era, most of the people who could enter the city were in the workplace and lived in a unified place.
