Meng Zitao picked up the iron box from the ground and walked into the reception room with everyone. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Zitao, what the hell is this thing, how does it look like agarwood?" Zhang Jing asked compulsively.

Meng Zitao said with a smile: "When Shopkeeper Ding comes back, let's talk about it." ”

After a while, Ding Tianjun came back, and Meng Zitao said, "Everyone should know about high imitation agarwood, right?"

The price of agarwood is not unfamiliar to everyone, and the price of good agarwood is often higher than gold, and it is quite rare. It is precisely because of the scarcity of agarwood that the industry of high imitation has emerged, and it is gradually growing. As the old saying goes, the road is one foot high, and with the development of science and technology, the high imitation market is also new and endless.

For example, "compressed sinking" is a common imitation agarwood on the market.

The so-called "compressed agarwood" is a fake agarwood that is compressed. The raw material is basically white wood incense, which is compressed to increase its density to achieve the effect of submersion for profiteering, and in the process of compression, some flavors or agarwood oil will be added to make a false reality.

"Compression sinker" is generally easier to distinguish, for example, the grease of "compression sinking" is a large patch, and there is no grease cover in the place, and there is no grease line. There is also a method of soaking in water, which is also easy to distinguish.

Zhang Jingqiang said: "Knowing is knowing, but I have never seen such a fake agarwood." ”

The others shook their heads and said they hadn't heard of it either.

Meng Zitao gave the answer: "Actually, this is a new high-imitation agarwood, called 'Vietnamese dead man sin'. ”

"Why did you come up with such a strange name?" asked Zhang Jingqiang.

"Listen to me slowly. ”

Meng Zitao went on to explain: "This kind of agarwood is not processed later, but it exists in Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, and this tree species. Like agarwood, this species grows in tropical rainforests. The only difference is that the agarwood tree is caused by the devastating conditions of the outside world, which causes the agarwood tree to slowly produce oil, while the 'dead man sink' begins to naturally produce oil during the growth period. And in appearance, it is exactly the same as real agarwood. ”

"This kind of 'dead man' is the same as the real agarwood in all aspects, such as the incision has the same grease line as the agarwood, and in the process of cutting, it will also produce the same fragrance as the agarwood, which can be said to be a high-oil and oily agarwood immersion material, which is used to make beads, which is basically no different from agarwood, and under the high microscope, there is no difference. ”

Li Wangshan asked, "Since this is the case, how can you distinguish it?"

Zhang Jingqiang said: "Didn't Zitao just now take some burned, and that person ran away, presumably this is the method used, right?"

Meng Zitao said: "Yes, the only way to identify this kind of 'dead man sinking' is to burn, cut a small piece down, ignite it directly with an open flame, and then blow it out and smell it directly after the smoke is burned, you can clearly feel a foul smell, and the smell of agarwood after burning is very different, the taste is similar to the taste of plastic burning, and the smoke is inky black." It is for this reason that it is called 'Dead Man Sinking'. ”

Zhang Jingqiang proposed: "Then let's take some and try it." ”

"Okay. ”

Meng Zitao asked the army to pass the knife, and cut some down, and sure enough, it was the same as what he said, and it was the same performance as normal agarwood.

Then, he took the small piece of wood that was burned and cut by the lighter, and after extinguishing it, let everyone smell it, only to feel a foul smell coming to his face, and the first time he smelled it, it made people a little unbearable.

After everyone discussed for a while, Zhang Jingqiang asked: "Is this 'dead man sinking' only identified by burning?"

Meng Zitao said: "Unless you are very experienced, you can only use this method." ”

Li Wangshan said: "This method is simple, but what if this thing is made into beads and can't be burned before buying?"

Meng Zitao said: "I don't have a good way to do this, I can only negotiate with the seller before buying one, if it is not agarwood, return it, and take some powder in a hidden place to burn after buying." ”

Zhang Jingqiang sighed: "Hey, it's a bit of a trouble." ”

Meng Zitao said: "This is also a helpless thing, fortunately, there are not too many 'dead people sinking' now, I hope that over time, other identification methods can be studied." ”

Things in the world are like this, sometimes the road is one foot high, sometimes the magic is one foot high, and everyone can only hope that in the near future, someone can study a relatively simple identification method.

Meng Zitao said: "Shopkeeper Ding, can you give me some of this 'dead man Shen'?"

Ding Tianjun hurriedly said: "Didn't you slap me in the face when you asked this? If it weren't for you, I might have been caught today." ”

Meng Zitao smiled, didn't say anything, and didn't ask more. How to deal with things after that, that's Ding Tianjun's business.

After taking some "dead man's incense", Meng Zitao reminded again: "Shopkeeper Ding, I suggest you take a look at the monitoring in your store to see if there is any problem." ”

Although neither side mentioned the matter of monitoring just now, Meng Zitao believes that the monitoring should be broken, otherwise, the other party is unlikely to be so unscrupulous.

Ding Tianjun also reacted, and hurriedly got up and went out to check, and after a while, he came back again, and it could be seen from his somewhat gloomy face that he was indeed right by Meng Zitao.

Li Wangshan asked, "Lao Ding, don't you watch the surveillance?"

Ding Tianjun smiled bitterly: "In a store like ours, who would generally stare at the monitor every day! The monitor is usually turned off, only every night before closing, I will open it to see if there is any problem." ”

"If you say this, maybe someone who knows you well did it?" Li Wangshan said his guess.

Ding Tianjun was silent for a while, and said: "I have already called the police to deal with this matter, and I will talk about it when the police come to investigate." ”

Since the police are coming, as the parties concerned, Meng Zitao and the others also stayed to help and record a confession.

When everything was dealt with, it was already evening, and Ding Tianjun invited a guest in order to express his gratitude.

The next day, Meng Zitao had just finished breakfast and received a call from Ding Tianjun.

On the phone, Ding Tianjun learned that Meng Zitao was not busy, and invited Meng Zitao to his friend's house to see the goods, and of course Meng Zitao agreed.

After waiting in the hotel lobby for a while, one or two business cars hired by Ding Tianjun arrived, and Meng Zitao and Dajun got into the car together.

"What about Mr. Zhang, won't he go with him?" asked Ding Tianjun.

Meng Zitao said: "He has something to do temporarily and can't go." ”

"Then let's go. ”

Ding Tianjun asked the driver to set off, and then introduced some information about his friend.

Ding Tianjun's friend Yan Xifan is also an old man in the Yangcheng antique industry, and his ability is good, he is arrogant and righteous, and he was also the number one person in the antique industry a few years ago.

Although this is an exaggeration, the truth is not much worse, which also reflects Yan Xifan's character. Ordinary people who Yan Xifan knew, if there was any difficulty in asking him, as long as he had the ability, he didn't say a word.

But in this world, often good intentions may not all be beneficial, especially in the antique business, there are really cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods, when a person loses the heart of defense, the result can be imagined.

For example, a few years ago, a friend of Yan Xifan used Lao Jin's house to run a business, but this guy was not honest in business, and the goods he bought were all fakes that could be seen at a glance, and the business could be imagined.

If the business can't go on, of course it can only be closed, good guy, when he left, he actually gave those goods to Yan Xifan for 30,000 yuan, and what people can't understand is that Yan Xifan actually took it all, and the money must have been lost. As for rent, don't even think about it.

In addition, there is another thing, at the beginning, Yan Xifan had dealt with the owner of a kiln factory, and the boss wanted to open a store in Yangcheng and asked Yan Xifan for help, but Yan Xifan didn't say a word and found a shop for him.

The things produced in that factory, which have little artistic taste, can be sold in the antique market?

But when the boss had to withdraw, he gave Yan Xifan all the porcelain that could not be sold, and Yan Xifan happened to have little cash at that time, so he made an IOU.

The factory director was really unambiguous, took Yan Xifan's IOU, and took revenge on him with his backhand, and after a period of time, he went to the court to sue. It was written in black and white, of course, the court sentenced Yan Xifan to lose, and he had to pay back two sums of money, one was 20,000 yuan for porcelain, and the other was rent.

In fact, the rent was paid by Yan Xifan at the beginning, and the factory director did not pay a penny at all, but now he actually got a rent for nothing.

When Meng Zitao heard this, he couldn't help but shake his head secretly.

If you want to say that the factory director is hateful, of course he is hateful! But is Yan Xifan pitiful? If you want to say that he is pitiful, he is indeed quite pitiful, and if he is kind enough to help, he will get revenge.

But the key is that Yan Xifan doesn't have any due precaution, as the old saying goes, the heart of guarding against people is indispensable, the result of Yan Xifan's doing this, for example, is like throwing a hundred yuan on the road, do you think anyone will pick it up?

Moreover, although there are not many things like this, they are not uncommon in Yan Xifan's life, but he still doesn't have a long memory, which is exactly what the old saying goes, poor people must have something to hate.

Because of one thing after another, Yan Xifan's money was almost spent, and he didn't want to sell his collection, so the store was closed, and it was difficult to see him in the antique market.

In the middle of last year, Yan Xifan's wife died of illness, which hit him deeply, and since then, he has become an alcoholic, drinking and sleeping all day long, selling his collection without money, and basically becoming a waste. (To be continued.) )
