Meng Zitao has only read some gambling materials, of course, he can't say a convincing reason, but there is no need to say a reason for this kind of thing, after all, this is a unique skill, why should he sue everyone?

So, Meng Zitao briefly explained a few words, and at this time, a worker came to carry the wood and also helped Meng Zitao.

Although everyone thinks that Meng Zitao's explanation is too simple, everyone understands it, just like Meng Zitao thought, the method of gambling wood is not to mention that it is priceless, and it is very likely that you can make a lot of money if you learn it, so why should Meng Zitao say it?

"Old Qiao, did you do it too? Didn't you say that you hadn't gambled on wood before?" Seeing that the workers not far away were under the command of Qiao Keyu, moving a piece of wood not far away onto the forklift, Li Qiaosheng was a little surprised, so he walked over and asked.

Qiao Keyu smiled: "Yes, I feel that the wood is good, and the price is quite reasonable, so I bought it." ”

"You actually bought it just by feeling?" Li Qiaosheng looked at the wood that Qiao Ke Yu had chosen.

Qiao Keyu said: "What's so strange? I used to gamble on stones by feeling, and I also made 100,000 yuan." Anyway, this piece of wood is only 400,000 yuan, even if it loses, it can't lose much. ”

"You're a tyrant. Li Qiaosheng shook his head.

The golden silk nanmu is relatively thick, and if you want to saw, of course, it is impossible to use manual drama, so the group went to the sawing machine in the factory under the leadership of Ju Yuepeng.

At this time, a piece of wood had been placed on the sawing machine, and it was Ma Xingwei's friend, the owner of the company surnamed Mei.

"Boss Mei, how do you want to solve it?" Qiao Keyu asked with a smile.

The first knife to solve the wood is very crucial. First, the position of the first knife should consider the direction of the opening and the width of the first board, and also consider the value of the edge leather. For this material, the edge leather is particularly good-looking, so Boss Mei is particularly cautious.

In addition, the value of this piece of wood is tens of millions, and if you make a mistake, there may be millions of losses, so of course Boss Mei should be as careful as possible.

After observing and pondering for a while, Boss Mei made a decision, and the workers adjusted their orientation according to his decision, and then Boss Mei pressed the power supply himself.

It is estimated that it will take more than ten or twenty minutes to complete this knife, although it is a little noisy here, but out of curiosity about the result, everyone is chatting not far away, while waiting for the end. During the period, Ma Xingwei also introduced the two sides, and both sides were more polite.

Ma Xingwei thought about something and said, "By the way, Xiao Meng, there is something I want you to help me with." ”

"What's the matter?" Meng Zitao asked.

"Let's take a step to talk. ”

Ma Xingwei took Meng Zitao out of the door and asked, "Xiao Meng, you should know Song Jiming and Li Shandong, right?"

Meng Zitao said: "I know, but I haven't dealt with much of it." What's wrong with them?"

Song Jiming and Li Shandong both run their own antique shops in the antique street, and the two are still friends.

"They broke it over an antique. Ma Xingwei said.

"What's going on?" Meng Zitao asked curiously.

Next, Ma Xingwei explained the festival between the two.

It turned out that Song Jiming's antique shop was mainly porcelain miscellaneous, and Li Shandong was good at jade and small pieces in the study. The shops of the two are not far away, and they usually like to string a string of doors, or chat about the market situation or some interesting anecdotes, or take out their new things to appreciate each other, and the results of the evaluation naturally involve the authenticity of the identification items.

Some time ago, Li Shandong took out a literary utensil with great interest and asked Song Jiming to taste it, and proudly asked the other party to help break the dynasty.

For those who love antiques, it is a pleasure to collect their favorite items, and being an antique dealer also means that this item will bring you a lot of rewards. However, Song Jiming looked at Li Shandong's things but was a little hesitant, and he didn't give a positive answer for a long time.

Li Shandong felt strange, so he asked a few words, quite a little not to tell, friends have nothing to do, and finally Song Jiming had to smile bitterly and tell Li Shandong, according to his observation, this item is antique and old and has a suspicion of fabrication.

Besides, he has been engaged in antique collection and management for nearly 20 years, and he has seen and dealt with many things, during which his appraisal knowledge has increased unabated, and his eyesight has become more and more sophisticated, and he has also won a certain reputation in the circle of antique dealers and collectors.

Originally, he wanted to enjoy the goods together, but he was pointed out by his friends that it was a fabrication, which really surprised Li Shandong, and he really couldn't figure it out, how could he misread things?

So the two of them discussed the details of the artifact, such as the shape, use, process, color of the pulp, and even the inheritance story, and the result of their own insistence on their own opinions must be unhappy. As long as Song Jiming raised any questions, Li Shandong always rejected them immediately, and after the stalemate, Song Jiming had to remain silent, and the two friends came to the verge of disharmony for the identification of this artifact.

Ma Xingwei said: "Song Jiming told me that he was eager to shoot tens of thousands of yuan on the table and make a bet with Li Shandong, but Li Shandong couldn't get down the steps because he didn't want to, so he didn't do it." ”

Meng Zitao asked, "Then according to his meaning, he can be sure that there is something wrong with something?"

Ma Xingwei said: "He said so, and he believes that with Li Shandong's many years of collecting experience, he should have added a trace of doubt to the item under his prompting, but in the end, he didn't feel that there was a problem with the thing, and he guessed that Li Shandong either couldn't afford to lose face, or he couldn't afford to lose financially." ”

Meng Zitao thought for a moment and asked, "Then what do you want me to do? Let's go and point out that there is something wrong with things? This is not good, even if he admits it, maybe he will still hold a grudge against me." ”

Ma Xingwei shook his head: "Of course not, I think so, let you come forward to buy that thing from him, and then point out the problems." ”

Meng Zitao asked, "What if he can't afford to lose financially?"

Ma Xingwei said: "Actually, I won't tell you, the wife of my family and Li Shandong are cousins, and I also inquired about the situation through my family before, it should not be a financial problem." In addition, Song Song Jiming and I are also good friends, so I don't want them to turn against their friends for many years because of this incident. ”

Meng Zitao said: "It's no problem for me to come here, but I'll ask directly, will it be too eye-catching?"

Ma Xingwei smiled: "You don't have to worry about this, I've already thought about it, like this, what do you think?"

Meng Zitao smiled: "I'm fine, but I'm going to Shanghai tomorrow, and I may have to stay there for two days and come back." ”

Ma Xingwei nodded and said, "No problem, then I'll talk about it when you come back, just prepare it." ”

The two returned to the factory, only to see that most of the wood had been sawed open, and Boss Mei stared at the sawing machine, clasping his hands tightly, looking very nervous, as if he was living like a year.

In this regard, everyone also expressed their understanding, after all, a sawing down will determine the fate of tens of millions, and anyone will be nervous.

As the saw blade got closer and closer to the bottom, not only Boss Mei was worried, but the onlookers present were also shocked!

When the sawing machine stopped, Boss Mei nervously took out a tissue to wipe his sweat, and asked the workers to go up and take out the part sawed, but immediately his expression froze, and the scene was in an uproar.

"Empty core?!" exclaimed an employee next to him.

Ju Yuepeng turned his head and glared at the employee: "What more mouths, let me out!"

The employee looked very embarrassed and hurriedly ran out.

Boss Mei hurriedly ran over, kept looking at the untied wood, his expression was a little sluggish, and finally turned into a sigh.

"What, this is a loss?" Wang Menghan asked in a low voice.

Meng Zitao nodded: "The empty core is too strict, basically it can't be made into large pieces of furniture, and it can only be sold for some jewelry, now I can only look at the following situation, if this is still the case, this single is estimated to lose eighty percent or even ninety percent." ”

Wang Menghan covered his mouth and exclaimed: "Ah! Isn't that going to pay at least nine million all at once?"

Cheng Qiheng said with emotion: "Yes, so this is gambling wood! Like gambling stones, they are all poor and rich." ”

After that, Boss Mei asked the workers to open it again, but the result was still very bad, which was the worst result that Meng Zitao said, maybe he would really have to pay ninety percent in the end.

Boss Mei was very disappointed, and he was in a bad mood, and his speech was a little unpleasant: "Boss Ju, your wood here is really not good, obviously it looks good, and the leather is good, but it can produce such a result, I have never encountered it before." ”

Ju Yuepeng can only smile at this, he can't say anything, he should talk to the other party, isn't that a slap in the face? He can't even sell the remaining wood, of course, if the other party loses the bet, it's not good to say anything bad luck, otherwise he will really offend people.

There was an unexpected "black opening", Qiao Keyu also became nervous, although 400,000 yuan is nothing to him, but no one wants to lose the bet.

According to the normal situation, Qiao Keyu should be ranked behind Meng Zitao, but he really couldn't wait for such an ordeal, so he went to discuss with Meng Zitao: "Shopkeeper Meng, can you have a discussion, let me solve it first?"

Meng Zitao didn't mind this, besides, he was confident in his wood, and it didn't matter if he solved it first and then solved it, so he agreed.

So, after Boss Mei's timber was moved, Qiao Keyu asked the workers to move his timber up.

Boss Mei looked at the wood and smiled contemptuously: "This wood is full of tumors, and someone still buys it, hehe!"

Qiao Keyu was not happy when he heard this: "What do you mean, what's wrong with a tumor? If you have a tumor, you can't solve a good board?" )
