Yang Fan gave Brother Xiong a ride, he came by taxi when he came, and if he went back, he had to ask for a car. In this kind of place, it is not so easy to get a car.

"How's my goods?" Brother Xiong couldn't wait to know.

Yang Fan knew what he was thinking, and said, "It's okay, you can multiply your profits several times." That wooden board is one of the screens, it belongs to the black acid branch, the carving is okay, but it is not a master's work, thirty or twenty thousand should be wanted!"

Black sour branch is a redwood variety clearly determined in the "National Mahogany Standard", which belongs to the butterfly-shaped flower subfamily Dalbergia in the leguminous plant with Huanghuali and other species, mainly growing in tropical areas, mostly produced in Southeast Asian countries, East Africa and Indonesia, etc., and the heartwood is chestnut brown.

It is a natural deodorant, so named for its sour smell, and black sour branches are no exception. In addition, it has distinct black stripes, so it is called "black acid branch".

This plank alone can allow Brother Xiong to recover the cost. After hearing this, Brother Xiong was overjoyed. The first time he saw this plank, he subconsciously felt that it was a treasure.

Listening to Yang Fan say this, this is just one of them, it seems that I have time to ask that guy to see if I can find other, complete screens, which are very valuable.

"It doesn't seem to be as precious as rosewood. This is a type of mahogany, isn't it?" Brother Xiong said, a little disappointed in his tone.

He had only heard of these precious woods, and he didn't know how to tell them.

Yang Fan nodded: "That's right! It's not as precious as huanghuarosewood." In the early Qing Dynasty, the use of precious furniture has gradually formed a social fashion, and the supply of rosewood and yellow pear furniture is insufficient. Against this backdrop, it was at this time that mahogany came into play. ”

The characteristics that distinguish black acid branches from mahogany are also obvious, and its wood grain is often sandwiched with dark brown or black stripes in the deep red, giving people an antique feeling, and it is highly respected by the upper class society after Qianlong.

"Although it is not as precious as rosewood, among the mahogany, the black sour branch is considered to be the top wood, and it is second only to rosewood. Yang Fan continued.

Nowadays, the collection market is in full swing, which has attracted the attention of many people. The mahogany culture carried by mahogany furniture is one of the quintessence of China's culture, and it has attracted the attention of the public and has become the highlight of the collection market. Stimulated by consumer demand, the development of the mahogany furniture industry can be described by the words "advancing by leaps and bounds".

The black acid branch has a very beautiful wood texture, and the mellow and subtle beauty that seeps out after polishing and lubrication is like the mountains or the undulating sea, and the breeze blows gently, creating layers of ripples, which makes people infinitely reverie.

"What about the others?" Brother Xiong continued to ask.

"That lion carving is good, the most valuable. Everything else is so-so. ”

said that it is average, but in fact, it is a death sentence, this Brother Xiong understands.

He took out the lion carving, looked at it for a while, and saw nothing of the material, and he had no study of it, and he was not interested.

"That's carved from rhinoceros horns, it's very good! about 200,000!" Yang Fan reminded.

The rhinoceros horn itself is very precious, it costs thousands of yuan per gram of medicine, and it is more precious to carve it, this lion carving is exquisite, it is the material of African rhinoceros horn, the market is estimated at about 200,000 yuan, and the price of Asian rhinoceros horn will be higher.

Due to the limitation of the source of tooth horn materials, the number of tooth horn carvings is far less than that of calligraphy and painting.

"Of course, you can also hide it first, and there will definitely be room for appreciation later. This kind of carving is becoming less and less on the market, and it is difficult to say in the future. Yang Fan added.

Brother Xiong nodded, however, he was not ready to collect it himself. It's hard to say about appreciation, and after more than ten years, I don't know what the world is. If you can make money now, it's better to earn it in your pocket first.

"Brother Yang, how can you tell at a glance that it is rhinoceros horn?" Xu Ping was a little curious.

Sometimes, it really feels incredible, anyway, he can see the same, but Yang Fan can take out the bottom of an item with a few glances.

Brother Xiong also admires this very much, this is a real accumulation! After accumulating so many years of knowledge, once it is released, it is surprising.

"Actually, you can learn to distinguish the authenticity of these things after reading them once. For example, ivory has obvious cross-sectional herringbone patterns, rhinoceros horns are corn patterns, brush silk patterns, etc., and it is easy to identify if it is a fake imitation of cow horns, horseshoe, and yak horns. Yang Fan pointed.

Saying this, the two of them observed carefully, and it seemed that it was not difficult to identify.

This situation is the same as reading books when I was a child. I failed the exam, but when the teacher commented on the test paper, it didn't seem to be esoteric, and it was not difficult to understand.

Since Zheng He's seven voyages to the West, rhino horns began to flow into China. Rhino horn is scarce in the world, and its medicinal value is extremely high, so it has a very high economic value, and now, it is about to rise to 2,000 yuan a gram.

You know, gold is only two or three hundred yuan a gram, which shows the preciousness of this thing.

"The last time I watched the news, I heard that there were only a few species left. Xu Ping recalled.

Yang Fan suddenly laughed and explained: "In this world, there are many rhinos, the kind you are talking about, the rarest northern white rhinoceros, living in northern Africa, I heard that there are only a few left, and there is only one male among them, protected by a gun twenty-four hours a day. ”

It's also very frustrating to say, but the most uncomfortable people should be the biologists, right? Watching a species go extinct.

"Xiaofan, your three pieces shouldn't be simple, right?" Brother Xiong asked casually.

Yang Fan smiled faintly and didn't explain much: "It's okay, the main thing is that I like it." ”

It is indeed convenient to send him to his near home, and it is indeed convenient to have a car. Brother Xiong wanted to invite Yang Fan to have a meal, but Yang Fan refused.

"Okay, then let's make an appointment another day! I'll pay more attention to this information in the future, and we'll explore it again. Brother Xiong said to Yang Fan.

Yang Fan naturally would not refuse this kind of opportunity, and nodded. With this guy, it can be regarded as mutually beneficial.

People just unconsciously get involved with others, and finally form an intricate network of relationships.

For example, now, if someone targets Yang Fan, Brother Xiong and these people will stand on his side as soon as possible and work together to protect everyone's interests.

"Come with me tomorrow to Chaoyang City. Yang Fan said suddenly.

Xu Ping knew that Brother Yang was going to pick up his sister.

"Morning?" he asked.

"In the afternoon, the girl will leave school at four o'clock. ”

Yang Fan didn't go to college, and he didn't know the course schedule of the university very well, so he didn't know that Xiaoqian would finish the course at noon, and he didn't have to wait until the afternoon to leave the school. He also remembered that the girl once said that the class would be finished at four o'clock in the afternoon, and he thought that every day was about the same.

The ninth place is unexpected! Thank you for your support!
