The sixth said with a smile: "Don't say it so ugly, let's say that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers."

Lao Niu smiled: "You have to sell cheaply." ”

Meng Zitao laughed, although this thing is indeed a bit ridiculous, but one is willing to buy and the other is willing to sell, and this transaction is understandable.

After a few jokes, Meng Zitao asked, "Sixth, what's the matter with gambling wood?"

The sixth asked rhetorically: "Do you know Ju Yuepeng in the west of the city?"

Meng Zitao nodded and said, "I know, but he didn't open a furniture factory, when did he change his career to gambling wood?"

The sixth said: "It's not that the price of golden silk nanmu is rising very quickly, and gambling wood is rising, and the bald man thinks that this line can make money, so he went to Shu Province to buy some golden silk nanmu logs, which is said to have pressed most of his wealth on it." As a result, we are not gambling here, no one goes, and when I met him yesterday, he asked me to call someone to take a look. If you're interested, we'll go in a moment."

Meng Zitao nodded and said, "Of course, just go and see it." Is there anyone else going with you?"

The sixth said: "Li Qiaosheng is free today, I also called him, I haven't notified the others yet, if you are happy, you can also call your friends, the bald man can't ask for it." ”

"Then I'll give you a call and ask. Meng Zitao thought about it, so he called Cheng Qiheng, and as soon as the other party heard that there was such a thing, he immediately rushed over.

As soon as Cheng Qiheng arrived, Meng Zitao asked, "Do you want to bring your Menghan?"

Cheng Qiheng said: "Okay, I'll call her." ”

A moment later, Cheng Qiheng came over with Wang Menghan.

"When will Li Qiaosheng arrive?" Meng Zitao asked.

"I'll give you a call and ask. ”

The sixth child called Li Qiaosheng, Li Qiaosheng said that he had a friend who wanted to go together, and the sixth said that there was no problem, and then everyone set off and went to pick up Li Qiaosheng and his friend Qiao Keyu from the capital at the door of a nearby hotel.

Qiao Keyu is a handsome middle-aged man, who opened a small gallery by himself, because something happened, so he came to Ling City to travel and relax, and he heard that there was a gambling wood and followed.

After a few polite words, everyone talked about gambling wood, Qiao Keyu didn't know anything about this, and asked: "What kind of gambling method is this gambling on Jinsi Nanmu?"

The sixth replied: "It's very simple, buy the tree and unlock it, if there is a hollow or rotten heart, and the area is very large, then you will lose, if you can solve the longboard, and the quality is good, then you will earn." ”

Qiao Keyu nodded and said: "So that's the case, by the way, I heard that the golden silk nanmu was used by the emperor in ancient times, and the people would be beheaded if they used it, is there such a thing?"

The sixth smiled and said: "Your thinking is enough to jump, but you have to ask Shopkeeper Meng about this kind of thing, he is an expert." ”

Meng Zitao said with a smile: "What kind of expert, it's just a mess of food." However, in this regard, I have indeed checked some information, and now the Ming Dynasty buildings preserved in the Forbidden City, there are indeed many of them that are golden silk nan, and several existing halls are golden silk nanmu for the beams, but there has never been a situation where the people use golden silk nanmu to kill their heads. ”

"As for why in the capital, only the emperor generally uses golden silk nanmu? It is because only the emperor can travel thousands of miles to Lashu Province to buy wood. If the local people in Shu Province have several golden silk nans at home, and if they want to make a cabinet, they have to buy wood? ”

Qiao Keyu asked again: "What about Heshen in the Qing Dynasty?"

Meng Zitao said with a smile: "He is imitating the style of the palace, and it has nothing to do with what kind of wood is used, besides, even if he doesn't say this, he will be enough to die several times on his charge." ”

Everyone chatted all the way, and after forty minutes, they came to the door of a furniture factory, only to see that several cars had been parked at the door, and at least they were all mid-to-high-end cars.

Everyone got out of the car and followed the sixth into the factory, and the doorman knew the sixth and let him go after just asking a few words.

The group followed Lao Liu straight to the warehouse behind, and saw that there were more than 20 pieces of original wood in the warehouse, and the wood was large and small, and the quality was different. In addition to the wood, there were seven or eight people pointing at the twenty or so sticks of wood.

To Meng Zitao's surprise, Ma Xingwei was also here, and the two nodded to each other.

Seeing the sixth child come in, a forty or fifty-year-old Ju Yuepeng with a sparse hair head hurriedly greeted him with a smile.

Ju Yuepeng said with a smile: "Sixth, thank you for bringing your friends over to cheer." ”

The sixth said a few polite words, and introduced Meng Zitao and others.

The other Ju Yue friends didn't care much, but Meng Zitao and Cheng Qiheng were the God of Wealth in his eyes, and they were very enthusiastic.

Ju Yuepeng first introduced the price range of these woods in the warehouse, and then said with a smile: "Okay, don't say much, you can take a look at these woods first, if you are satisfied, I will give you a discount." ”

The sixth asked with a smile, "How much discount can I get?"

Ju Yuepeng said with a smile: "It depends on the situation at this time, maybe some wood discounts can be greater." ”

"Then let's take a look. ”

"Okay. ”

Ju Yuepeng went to entertain other guests, and the sixth child chuckled: "It seems that he can't hold it anymore, otherwise, it will be more difficult to let him discount than to ascend to the sky." ”

Lao Niu said: "After all, gambling wood is still a new thing in our Ling City, there are many people who don't know about it, and he doesn't have any serious publicity, who knows that he can gamble on wood?"

Cheng Qiheng said: "I think the key is the price, the cheapest golden silk nanmu here costs 500,000 yuan, how many people can gamble?"

Hearing this, Qiao Keyu had some questions: "Why is there such a big difference in the value of timber here? The cheapest is 500,000 yuan, and the most expensive one is actually more than 10 million." ”

Li Qiaosheng said: "This is very normal, according to the strict sense, the golden silk nanmu is more than 500 years old Zhennan, more than 500 years old Zhennan? The scarcity of golden silk nan wood in our market refers to this part of zhennan. As for the rest, in fact, it is all hyped up, let's just say that Zhennan has never stopped planting, and it grows faster than hardwood, do you say it can be equated with scarcity?"

Qiao Keyu said suddenly: "I said why I have been listening to the preciousness of golden silk nanmu, but it can still be seen everywhere in the market, it turns out that this is the case, so according to what you say, the price of these common golden silk nanmu on the market, will not sooner or later be blown up like blowing up a balloon?"

Everyone laughs, it's obvious.

Meng Zitao said with a smile: "Okay, let's go our separate ways, even if you don't buy it, you can increase your knowledge." ”

"Row ......"

After splitting up, Meng Zitao pretended to observe the trees in the warehouse, and wondered in his heart whether the ability could play a role in this, you know, he had tested it before, whether it was the aura of the jade rough or the white jade stone, it was like a knife cut to him, that feeling, he didn't want to "enjoy" anymore.

It's just that the first time he encountered gambling wood, Meng Zitao was a little moved, thinking about whether he should try it, but he was worried that he would enjoy the encounter that was worse than death again.

After thinking about it, Meng Zitao gritted his teeth and used his ability on a piece of wood in front of him, but the result made him quite surprised and excited, because the aura coming from the tree was indeed different from the feeling in the antique, but it was not as cold and piercing as the jade raw material, but gave him a feeling of vitality.

After Meng Zitao was surprised, he immediately understood, could the reason why there is a feeling of "vitality" be because of the reason for the trees? After thinking about it, he felt that it really made sense, don't plants give people a feeling of endless life?

Meng Zitao immediately thought, in this case, can he absorb the aura from the plant? If so, the aura is not more or less for him.

You know, having more aura can level up an ability, and if you level up again, what happens to the ability?

The more Meng Zitao thought about it, the more excited he became, so he simply used the toilet as an excuse to sneak out of the warehouse, and used his ability on a flower on the flower bed.

This made Meng Zitao happy in his heart, which showed that his idea was indeed feasible, but when he raised his head, he was stunned and smiled bitterly. It turned out that the flower had actually wilted, and it looked like it would not be long before it withered and died. In other words, the aura just now is completely the vitality of the flower.

"Well, it seems to be a complete empty joy. Meng Zitao sighed, although he could completely absorb the aura of weeds, but if he absorbed it in a large area, the weeds would die in a large area, and it would definitely attract the attention of others, but if there were not many of them, it would be a drop in the bucket.

Meng Zitao is not the master of the horns, and shook his head: "Forget it, let's go step by step, when I absorb all the antique aura in museums all over the world, the ability will definitely be upgraded again, maybe several levels in a row." ”

Returning to the warehouse, the next thing will be easy, Meng Zitao used his ability on the golden silk nanmu in the warehouse, and his mood immediately became happy again.

Ma Xingwei walked over and said with a smile: "Xiao Meng, you're in a good mood, do you have a goal?"

Meng Zitao smiled: "It's okay, what about you?"

Ma Xingwei smiled: "I'm just a foil, besides, the wood here doesn't look very good." ”

Meng Zitao said: "It seems that you should have studied gambling wood, right?"

Ma Xingwei shook his head with a smile: "I can't talk about research, but I have seen a lot of wood, and I have some experience." ”

Meng Zitao asked, "You mean that the wood here really can't be gambled?"

Ma Xingwei said: "This is not necessarily, for example, the two most expensive ones, it is okay, but gambling on wood, three points of eyesight, seven points of luck, I can't grasp it, of course I won't start." By the way, which one do you like?"

Meng Zitao touched his nose and said, "I won't tell you, what I like is one of what you said." ”

"Which one?" As soon as Ma Xingwei heard this, he became curious, but he immediately felt that it was not appropriate to let Meng Zitao say it now, so he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Forget it, don't talk about it now, a friend of mine is also interested in one of them." ”

Meng Zitao was slightly stunned, and hurriedly said: "Then I have to strike first." ”

However, when he looked back, he found that the other party had already taken the lead and was standing between the two logs, bargaining with Gong Yuepeng.

Meng Zitao hurriedly walked over, and when he walked up to the two, the other party had already negotiated the price with Gong Yuepeng, which made his heart tighten, and he prayed that the other party would never choose the one he chose.

"Boss Ju, does this wood have an owner?" Meng Zitao asked, pointing to a piece of golden silk nan wood next to him with more surface tumors.

"No, is Shopkeeper Meng interested in this piece of wood?" Gong Yuepeng was overjoyed, could it be that the two most expensive pieces of wood today could be taken off? If this is the case, then he can gather most of the funds.

Meng Zitao breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said with a smile: "Yes, I am indeed interested in this wood, and I will ask the palace boss to make a price." ”

Gong Yuepeng pondered for a moment and said: "This wood has a lot of tumors, but there is still no problem in terms of years, and there are no flaws, I'll give you 9.5 million, okay?"

Meng Zitao shook his head: "In the Jin Si Nan industry, there is a saying that ten tumors and nine emptiness, if there are many tumors, my risk will be great, the price of nine and a half million is not suitable, eight million." ”

"I can't come back for eight million. Gong Yuepeng smiled bitterly: "Besides, there are many lumps in this wood, but the shape is better, if you open a long board, then you will make a lot of money." In this way, I take a step back, nine million four hundred and fifty thousand. ”

Because the nodules are generally round, it is difficult to find the long board of the nodules, like this wood, it is possible to open a long board of tumors of more than 2.5 meters, it is worth a gamble, Gong Yuepeng feels that Meng Zitao is betting on this, otherwise, Meng Zitao is full of support, and he wants to buy this wood.

Of course, because there are many tumors, so the person just now didn't want to bet on this wood, otherwise it would be very normal for a person to be unlucky and lose all his money.

Next, Meng Zitao and Gong Yuepeng bargained, and finally sold for 9.28 million.

Seeing that Meng Zitao's side actually made a deal, Cheng Qiheng and the others all came around.

Everyone heard that Meng Zitao spent more than nine million yuan to buy a piece of wood, and they were all a little dumbfounded.

Cheng Qiheng said: "I said Zitao, you shouldn't have gambled on wood before, and you have such a big deal for the first time?"

Meng Zitao said with a smile: "I haven't gambled on wood, but I have studied it more or less, I looked at it carefully just now, and I thought this wood was good, so I bought it." ”

Wang Menghan looked at the huge piece of wood on the ground, his face was full of doubts, and said: "Isn't it similar to the others, it's a little bigger, and I don't think there's anything good." ”

Cheng Qiheng nodded and said, "Yes, Zitao, can you say a few words to us to solve your confusion?" )
