Chapter 986: Bai Xinsheng
When Meng Zitao saw these twelve blessing money, he couldn't help but sigh that this Master Guo was so powerful, he was willing to spend such a large price layout, and the price was only 12 million for Hou Yunbin, you know, judging by all aspects, the value of this set of money is at least 15 million, if it is auctioned, the income is likely to be higher!
Through the observation just now, Meng Zitao believed that there was something wrong with this master, so this person chose to lose so much money just to put a long line to catch a big fish.
Originally, Meng Zitao was very confident in exposing this so-called master, but as time went by, he knew that there was some trouble, because the places pointed out by Master Guo could not be verified at this stage, and as for what would happen in the future, who could know?
And with the eloquence of this Master Guo's tongue and lotus, I believe he can also justify himself, for example, as long as Hou Yunbin is not in danger, his solution has been proven, in case Hou Yunbin has an accident, he can also say that Hou Yunbin's fortune is shallow.
In fact, it is easy for a fake feng shui master to be exposed, as long as he reveals his flaws, or if the matter is not fulfilled, it will be clear whether this person is a so-called master or not.
But this Master Guo is very cautious, such as the previous shoe cabinet matter, Meng Zitao euphemistically mentioned it, and he immediately spared a lot of money to confirm his theory, and after that, he seemed much more cautious, and put forward some ambiguous principles in feng shui, anyway, there was no harm in doing it, and there was not much to pay.
In this case, Hou Yunbin and his wife both believe that Master Guo is indeed a capable big thing, if Hou Yunbin goes lucky, this trust will undoubtedly increase, of course, if Hou Yunbin has problems one after another, Master Guo's mouth will not change the impression.
But by that time, Master Guo would have already rolled up a sum of money and run away.
Speaking of which, Meng Zitao is really not very easy to manage this matter, so he can only do his best to remind Hou Yunbin, if Hou Yunbin insists on believing this Master Guo, then he has no choice.
Master Guo told Hou Yunbin and his wife about the role of praying for money, and after placing it, he said goodbye. Originally, the couple were going to invite Master Guo to dinner before leaving, but Master Guo politely refused on the grounds that he had something to do.
Seeing off Master Guo and his apprentices, Hou Yunbin smiled and said to Meng Zitao, "Teacher Meng, what do you think of what Master Guo said?"
Meng Zitao smiled: "I can only say that I know a little about the way of Feng Shui, but I don't dare to express any opinions, but well, what Master Guo said just now, I can't judge whether it is good or bad, I can only say that everything is possible." Oh yes, the twelve pieces he sold you are worth a lot less,"
Hou Yunbin said: "Oh, I don't know how much this set of blessing money can be worth?"
Meng Zitao said: "It's about fifteen million, and it is likely to get a higher income when it is auctioned." ”
"Hmm......" Hou Yunbin understood what Meng Zitao meant, as the saying goes, nothing to be courteous, either treachery or theft, is Meng Zitao reminding himself to be careful? Or does Master Guo actually not know the value of this set of money?
"Thanks, I see. Hou Yunbin said with a smile.
After that, the two chatted for a while, and Meng Zitao tactfully pointed out what Master Guo said wrong just now, he believed that Hou Yunbin should be able to see what he wanted to express, as for whether he was willing to believe him or Master Guo, that was Hou Yunbin's own problem.
Before eating, Mrs. Hou found an opportunity to talk to Hou Yunbin alone for a while.
"Yun Bin, listening to the meaning of his words, do you want you to be careful about Master Guo?"
"So what's the matter? Isn't it right to be cautious. Besides, people are not related to us, why should they let us make money?"
"Maybe the master thinks that we can't go to the Taoist temple?"
"You really think he's a saint!"
Besides, the key to the success of this thing lies in sincerity, and if you are not even sincere, how can it be effective?"
"You are superstitious and not feng shui, since he has already helped us adjust the good feng shui, how can it be useless because of a thought?
"Gee, that's not what I meant. ”
"Okay, I know what you mean, I am a judgmental adult, so I naturally know how to judge who is right and who is wrong, and Mr. Meng only kindly reminded me not to be deceived without knowing it. ”
Seeing her husband say this, Mrs. Hou couldn't say anything more.
After eating lunch and resting for a while, Hou Yunbin sent Meng Zitao to the house of the master carver he was looking for, and halfway through, Meng Zitao received a call from Captain Ma, saying that the person who had stuffed the copper coin into the hands of the deceased in the morning had been found.
It's just that this person may not be the murderer, the coin was picked up by him yesterday morning, and later he didn't hand over the copper coin because he was worried that others would wronged him.
This person has a grudge against the big foreman on the construction site, specifically because the big foreman gave him a green hat, but no one else knows about it, and he also bumped into it by chance, so he didn't dare to speak out about this matter and suppressed his hatred in his heart.
So, this morning he noticed that the deceased had no copper coins in his hand, so he stuffed the money he had picked up into the deceased's hand, so that the foreman would have no money to earn for the time being.
After hearing this, Meng Zitao had a question, why was this person worried that he would wronged him if he handed over the coins, and whether he had any secrets on him.
Captain Ma said that the matter would be investigated.
Hanging up the phone, Meng Zitao told Hou Yunbin the news.
Hou Yunbin was very happy, and said with a smile: "It seems that Master Guo does have some ability, and it will start to work after a while." ”
"Mr. Hou, when you say that, aren't you saying that Captain Ma is a straw bag?"
Meng Zitao said jokingly, thinking with emotion in his heart, it seems that Hou Yunbin also chooses to believe in Master Guo in his heart, otherwise how can he press such things on Master Guo? In this way, if the case is closed quickly, Hou Yunbin may be convinced of Master Guo.
Along the way, the two of them told some interesting stories, and soon arrived at the home of the master carver, but they did not expect to pounce, saying that the master had gone to a friend's side, and might not come back until very late.
So, Meng Zitao asked for the address, and rushed over, only to see that it was a small factory, but this factory does not produce things, it is used to place wood and dissolve wood machines, in short, this is a place to gamble on wood.
For gambling wood, Meng Zitao also played once, but he was not very interested, and he didn't think it was very popular at the time, but what he didn't expect was that the Huanghuali market was too prosperous, and the price continued to soar, he remembered that last year, a ton of Huanghuali wood was only more than 300,000, and now it has risen to more than 400,000, and the price rise rate is simply no one.
Moreover, Meng Zitao didn't know that it rose to 500,000 yuan in May, and it has exceeded 700,000 yuan after October.
In this case, gambling materials are becoming more and more popular, and from time to time you can hear that someone sells a BMW for gambling materials, and finally can exchange it for Bentley. The gambling industry is now really profitable, attracting many people to participate.
Of course, high profits are accompanied by high risks, and there are really not a few people who lose money in betting, because this is both a test of vision and technology.
Of course, for some gamblers, losing is not something they think about, they only have to win.
Getting back to the point, because only acquaintances of the boss, or friends introduced by acquaintances, were allowed to enter here, and the doorman stopped them, but fortunately, Hou Yunbin's face was enough, and after waiting at the door, the boss came to greet him.
The boss here is surnamed Hao, and he is white and chubby, with a big cake face, and his eyes are small, but they are shining.
"Yo, Mr. Hou, what kind of wind is blowing you?" Boss Hao smiled, and when he spoke, the flesh on his face shook a few times.
Hou Yunbin smiled: "It's not any wind, I came to find someone with a friend." ”
Seeing Boss Hao looking at him, Meng Zitao said with a smile: "I heard that Teacher Bai Xinsheng is on your side, I want to ask him for help with something." ”
Bai Xinsheng is a master of wood carving in the end, and Boss Hao was not surprised that Meng Zitao found him, and politely invited them in.
Bai Xinsheng was an old man with gray hair and a rough appearance, and when Meng Zitao saw him, he was pointing at a log with several people, talking about his own judgment.
Modern people bet on wood and gamble on most of the famous trees such as small-leaved red sandalwood, sea yellow and cliff cypress, because as long as the price of these famous trees is high, it is worth a gamble! The wood that everyone surrounds is a piece of yellow pear material.
"Xiao Cong, I don't recommend that you untie this log, it's too risky. Bai Xinsheng persuaded a young man in his thirties in front of him.
Xiao Cong pondered for a moment, and said with a smile: "Bai Lao, this piece of yellow rosewood looks like it is full of core materials, it is really very good, and the exposed core materials are also very oily, I believe in my judgment, there will be excellent wood." ”
Hou Yunbin had never been in contact with gambling wood before, and he didn't understand it very well, so Meng Zitao explained it to him a little.
"Generally speaking, the more oily and dense the wood, the more valuable it is. And if you look at this piece of wood, you can even see protruding knots and scars on it! According to the experience of ordinary people, this must be a good-looking grimace! But the uncertainty of gambling wood is relatively high......
Speaking of which, Meng Zitao took out his mobile phone and looked up a few pictures: "If this is the case, then there is no return to the capital, but if the log can be opened with such a color and texture on the picture, it is not a matter of money, just such a piece of wood directly down to become a rich man in the plugging market is not a myth!"
Just as Meng Zitao was explaining to Hou Yunbin, Bai Xinsheng sighed secretly, since Xiao Cong had already decided, he couldn't say anything, everyone was an adult, and he was responsible for his own affairs.
"Boss Hao, I've decided, just this piece of wood, help me with the saw. Xiao Cong said to Boss Hao.
"Okay. ”
Boss Hao answered, and then introduced Bai Xinsheng first, and then said hello to deal with the gambling matter.
"Kashiwa ......"
As soon as Meng Zitao spoke, Bai Xinsheng interrupted him with a gesture, and after recalling for a moment, he said, "Are you the teacher of Meng Zitao, who is known as the contemporary grass saint?"
There is nothing to be modest about this, Mencius nodded in acknowledgement.
"I didn't expect it to be you, you are younger than me on TV!" Bai Xinsheng shook hands with Meng Zitao with some excitement.
Meng Zitao said modestly: "Where, it's just that there will be some requirements for being on TV, so it looks old." ”
The people around him didn't really believe it when they learned that Meng Zitao actually had such a big name, but unless they were crazy, it was impossible to point it out, besides, to be able to have such a big name at such an age, there must be a strong backing behind it.
For a while, everyone gathered around and shook hands with Meng Zitao, and polite words such as "looking up for a long time, hearing is better than seeing" flew all over the sky.
Finally, when everyone's greetings were over, the results of the solution came out, so everyone gathered around again, at this time, it was not easy to talk about business, and Mencius also put things aside first.
When the cut surface appeared in front of everyone, everyone was dumbfounded! The core material with super good color on the outside was actually just a thin layer of skin! And the real core material inside was only as thin as an adult's thumb, and the color of the core material was too ordinary, all white!
Xiao Cong's face immediately collapsed, he rushed up to look left and right, and said a little distractedly: "How come, how can this material produce such a garbage core material!
Meng Zitao explained in a low voice to Hou Yunbin, who didn't know why: "He has bad luck and has made more extreme examples, just like buying a piece of millions of wool in a gambling stone but breaking down." ”
Hou Yunbin shook his head slightly: "It seems that this thing can't be touched!"
Anyone feels uncomfortable with such material, everyone is a friend, and they take turns to comfort Xiao Cong.
After a while, Xiao Cong's mood also calmed down, and he smiled bitterly at Bai Xinsheng: "It's still good as the old saying goes, if you don't listen to the old man, you will suffer in front of you." ”
Bai Xinsheng said: "Xiao Cong, don't say that, I'm not an immortal, I can judge everything." Otherwise, I would have made a fortune by gambling. ”
Boss Hao came over and comforted: "Xiao Cong, don't be discouraged, your situation is too small, since the gambling wood to now, I have seen this situation for the first time, in this way, next time you gamble, I will give you a 20% discount." ”
Xiao Cong's eyes lit up: "This is what you said." ”
Boss Hao said with some pain: "Since I have said it, I will definitely not regret it." ”
"Okay, I want that piece of red sandalwood over there. Xiao Cong pointed to a piece of wood not far away.
"Ahh
Someone next to him immediately chuckled: "Haha, this time Boss Hao is going to die of pain." ”
"I don't think it's just a pain in my flesh, but I'm going to vomit blood. ”
"You're going to vomit blood!" Boss Hao said angrily: "Xiao Cong, this time it's cheaper for you!"
Listening to Boss Hao's rather gritted tone, Xiao Cong smiled and hurriedly ran towards the piece of wood.
Meng Zitao gave Hou Yunbin some common sense of small leaf red sandalwood, and said: "The color of this small leaf red sandalwood material is extremely pure, and there are some shining Venus, and the material quality is extremely porcelain. ”
Hou Yunbin said: "In other words, like the Huanghuali just now, it is also risky?"
Meng Zitao said: "Since it is a gamble, of course there will be risks. ”
Hou Yunbin shrugged his shoulders.
On the other side, the material is first placed on a wire saw lathe, where the timber is first cut into sections and then sliced.
Before slicing, Xiao Cong had already figured out how big the beads would be. He asked the staff to open three thicknesses of pieces to make 2.0 small leaf red sandalwood bracelets.
Soon, the results came out, and Xiao Cong was stunned again.
"No, it's hollow, the color of the care child, it shouldn't be hollow!"
"Hey, there's no way, this is the small leaf red sandalwood of 'ten sandalwood and nine emptiness', and it is common for such a large hollow phenomenon to appear. ”
Hou Yunbin was a little puzzled: "Can this thing still be hollow?"
Meng Zitao said: "Of course, it will be hollow, because the wild forest of red sandalwood grows in the mountainous area with a complex environment, the land is not fertile, and the maturity cycle is hundreds or even thousands of years." Due to the harsh growth environment, the tree pole will be bent, resulting in irregular textures, uneven grain thickness, wood oil, and sinking when entering the water. ”
"The extreme lack of nutrients, in order to protect itself, the red sandalwood itself will slowly absorb the nutrients of the heartwood, causing the part of the red sandalwood close to the heartwood to become more and more soft, until the nutrients of the heartwood are completely absorbed, and then the chaff, white, and finally become "dead sandalwood", and the oil is also exhausted, like sawdust. Generally speaking, more than 20 cm of wild red sandalwood has a high hollow rate, so it is difficult to see large timber in wild small-leaved red sandalwood. ”
On the other side, Bai Xinsheng walked up to the wood and observed, and said: "Xiao Cong, don't be discouraged, this piece of material can still be saved, maybe it won't be lost." ”
Seeing Bai Xinsheng say this, Xiao Cong also came to the spirit, and then asked the workers to cut the wood, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, according to the situation of the wood, he should not be able to lose, and he can still make some money.
This result also made Boss Hao breathe a sigh of relief, if the good material collapsed twice in a row, it would be a little troublesome, although everyone is a friend, but he can't help but wonder if there will be a problem with this batch of materials, even if he promises, it will not help, how much the price has to be lowered, this is unacceptable to him.
Fortunately, he was lucky, there was no problem with this piece of material, but it also scared him out of a cold sweat.
"Lao Zhang, Boss Jia, you've been choosing for so long, do you want to buy a piece of material to play with?" Boss Hao said with a smile.
Boss Jia said: "Boss Hao, it's not me who picks and chooses, your batch of materials is really not good, is there anything else for us to choose?"
