Chapter 192: The Gambling Tree (3)
"Thirty-five ......"
Lao Gu, who had a gloomy face, didn't talk nonsense, and directly added another 5,000 to Zhao Hongtao's offer of 30,000, with Lao Gu's net worth, as long as he wanted to play, let alone 350,000, he didn't care if it was 350,000.
"Huh?" After hearing Lao Gu's offer, Man Jun was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head with a wry smile, he knew that what he said just now was wrong, and when he heard Lao Gu's ears, he was afraid that he would misunderstand.
"Lao Man, you......"
Zhao Hongtao also glanced back at the Manchu army, although he still had the heart to increase the price, but if he continued to fight like this, it would be a bit of a pole, but Zhao Hongtao's heart would not do such a thing.
"How about it? Boss Zhao still wants to increase the price? Boss Gu has added another 5,000...... "The price of the two trees was raised to 35,000, Ah Ming and Ah Bao were secretly happy in their hearts, they didn't expect that the two bosses would form such a competitive situation today.
"Boss Gu is so generous, these two trees belong to you......" Seeing everyone's eyes on him, Zhao Hongtao waved his hand and said with a smile: "Boss Gu, my friend said the wrong thing, I'm really embarrassed......"
When he goes out, Zhao Hongtao doesn't want to cause trouble, especially because his identity is relatively special, and it is much better to make a friend with a soft word than to add an enemy needlessly.
"Yes, Boss Gu, I just said it according to the current market price of Huanghuali, and I don't mean anything else......" Man Jun also opened his mouth to apologize, and at the same time glanced at Ah Bao, the situation just now Man Jun can be regarded as seeing, Ah Bao and Ah Ming are a little deliberately provoking the anger of both sides.
"Lao Gu, Boss Man is very refreshing, I can testify to this......"
was stared at by the Manchu army, Ah Bao could only speak, and he would talk about his reputation when doing business, although there was no evidence to prove that Ah Bao was tired of playing in the link of gambling on the tree, but as long as the Manchu army went back to publicize what happened today, Ah Bao's reputation would also be affected.
"Haha, everyone is good friends, it's just for fun, Boss Zhao doesn't blame me for raising the price......"
Lao Gu has been in business for so many years, and he knows the truth of the sedan chair carrying people, just now he was a little sensitive, he laughed at the moment, and diverted the topic and said: "Ah Ming, bring the saw, let's see the two trees on the spot today, I want to see what is the difference between the Huanghuali tree on the stone mountain and the one that grows elsewhere?"
"Boss Gu, don't you want a few other trees?" After hearing Lao Gu's words, Ah Ming couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, usually they bet on trees, and they only start sawing trees and peeling them after selling all the trees, and they never start sawing trees immediately after they buy them.
"Boss Zhao gives face, how can I be embarrassed to fight for those trees......" Lao Gu waved his hand and said: "Let Boss Zhao pick the other trees first, if he doesn't want it, he will talk about ......it."
Lao Gu has known Bao Amin for more than ten years, and naturally knows that although these two boys are not bad, they are a little cunning in business, and from the faces of the two just now, he understands what is wrong with this.
Another point is that Lao Gu can see that Zhao Hongtao's temperament is definitely a person who is either rich or noble, just now Zhao Hongtao made a step, but he said this but he returned Zhao Hongtao's favor and gave him enough face.
"Don't worry, let's see how Boss Gu's two trees are going first......"
To tell the truth, Zhao Hongtao came this time, that is, he took a fancy to the two huanghuali trees on the stone mountain, and now they were bought by Lao Gu, and the remaining few Zhao Hongtao can be bought or not, but it is better to see what kind of table these two huanghuali trees will have.
"Nacheng, I'll see how this tree is sawed......" Lao Gu thought for a while, picked up the hand drill on the table, and said: "Ah Ming, these two trees are mine, it doesn't matter if I drill a hole with my hand drill, right?"
Taking heartwood from a Huanghuali tree, that is, taking the grid, that is also a bit exquisite, because the role of Huanghuali, the first choice is to make zuò furniture, and the value is also the highest.
The second is to make zuò ornaments according to the shape and quality of the heartwood, the larger the volume of the ornaments, the more valuable it is, if the yellow pear is a little thinner, then the merchants will use it to make beads, which is also the last choice, the value is naturally the lowest.
Therefore, how to take the material is also a very critical matter, Lao Gu wants to drill a hole with his hand to see how thick the Huanghuali lattice is in the tree, and then decide whether to stop the waist and sawn it or take the trouble to peel off the bark.
"Boss Gu, you can ...... at will" Although Lao Gu hasn't paid yet, Ah Ming is not the first day to deal with him, and he still believes in Lao Gu's credibility, so he waved his hand at the moment, signaling that Lao Gu can use the hand drill.
Seeing that Lao Gu was about to open this tree, Zhao Hongtao, Fang Yi and others surrounded him, the Manchu army had seen heartwood taken from the Huanghuali tree before, but he was relatively calm, standing on the periphery of the crowd and talking to Bao.
Lao Gu is obviously very experienced, took the hand drill in the position of the root of the tree, and then aimed the drill at the root of a direction to drill down, the easiest place for the Huanghuali tree to make ornaments, is the root, if the heartwood inside is full, just a root to make the object is worth a lot.
Treating this Huanghuali tree with an average of 17,500 yuan, Lao Gu was very cautious, and every time the drill bit just drilled into it, he pulled it out, and constantly judged whether it was out of line according to the sawdust brought out by the drill bit.
However, with Lao Gu's temptation, his face gradually became ugly, because around the roots of the tree, Lao Gu's tentative drill bit failed to bring out the crumbs of Huanghuali, which made him feel a bad feeling in his heart.
"Amin, bring the saw......"
After another four or five minutes, Lao Gu finally lost his patience, and after marking with a knife a little above the root of the tree, he stood up and said, "Sawing down from this position, forget it, you can help me set up the chair, I'd better do it myself......
Fifty or sixty years old Huanghuali tree, full of thirty or forty centimeters thick, six or seven meters long, although removing the branches and leaves is still very heavy, at the moment Ah Ming greeted Bao, the two of them lifted the Huanghuali tree to two chairs and set it up.
"Ah Ming, I said that your kid has also made a lot of money over the years, right?" After taking the handsaw handed over by Ah Ming, Lao Gu said with some dissatisfaction: "A chainsaw is a matter of a few hundred yuan, and you kid is reluctant to spend even this money?"
"Boss Gu, I'm used to hand saws......" Seeing Lao Gu pulling the saw blade with some difficulty, Ah Ming shook his head and said, "Why don't you come with me?"
"Okay, come on, see it according to the mark I made...... "Lao Gu is old in the end, and he hasn't exercised much in the past few years, but he just pulled three or five times and sweated, and immediately returned the handsaw to Ah Ming.
Ah Ming's movements were much better than those of Old Gu Mali, I saw him step on the trunk of the tree with his left foot, bow down slightly with his waist, and quickly pull back the position above the root of the tree with the saw in his right hand, and with a few strokes, the tree was sawed in half.
"Okay......"
With Ah Ming's words, the place between the root and the trunk of the tree was broken by a handsaw, and the root that lost its balance fell to the ground after turning on the chair, and Lao Gu, who was standing on the side, hurriedly bent down and picked it up.
"Out of line, hey, Lao Gu, is this out of line?" A person standing behind Lao Gu had sharp eyes, and he found that on the cross section of the tree root, there was a place with a darker and round color, and he couldn't help but blurt out.
"It's out of line, and it's an avocado......"
After hearing the words of his friend behind him, Lao Gu couldn't help but smile bitterly, and after putting the root of the tree on the chair, he said: "The place where the root of the tree is so thick, the trunk must be more ordinary, this tree is considered to have lost the bet......"
After Lao Gu straightened the tree roots, Zhao Hongtao and Fang Yi saw that there were two colors on the cross section of the tree roots, dark and white, but the dark color was only as thick as a wine cup of five coins, and white occupied most of the area.
