Chapter 644: Good Luck and Bad Luck All in One
Because they arrived a little late, when Wei Qing and Shi Lei entered the door, someone inside had already picked up two trees. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Although it is not a formal auction, it is not much different from the form of auction, and the one with the highest price always wins.
But there are not many people coming, there are only twelve or thirteen in total, everyone is familiar with each other, under normal circumstances, they will not deliberately raise the price, and they will take the initiative to give up, after all, it is not a hammer deal, and there is an opportunity to buy it.
"Wei Shao is late, I've already picked two trees. A slightly chubby man walked over and greeted Wei Qing with a smile.
Wei Qing waved his hand and said, "I hope you can bet on it, but okay, I want to make a set of furniture for our old man this time, and I definitely need the best materials. ”
The man smiled and said, "This is easy to say, it really has to be rough, the main material belongs to you, and I will leave the auxiliary material to make something by myself." ”
Wei Qing smiled and shook his hand.
The man asked again: "Who is this ......?" blinking his eyes, he seemed to be quite interested in Shi Lei, after all, there is a second generation with a head and a face in Wu Dongcheng, even if he doesn't know it, he has at least heard of it, but Shi Lei is undoubtedly a new face.
"He's Shi Lei. Wei Qing didn't say much, he knew that the current Shi Lei didn't dare to say it in other places, in the Yangtze River Delta region, there were many people who hadn't seen him, but the second generation who hadn't heard of his name was probably only a handful.
When the man heard this, he immediately nodded, and took the initiative to stretch out his hand to Shi Lei: "It turned out to be Shi Shao, fortunately, my name is Lu Xiaoming." ”
Shi Lei actually didn't know who Lu Xiaoming was at all, but the other party didn't say his background, and he didn't want to ask, so he had to shake hands with him with a smile and said, "I have also heard of Brother Lu's name for a long time, and I am fortunate to meet it." ”
Wei Qing saw that everyone else was circling around the remaining trees, and was a little anxious, so he said, "Let's talk later, I'll go and see the wood first." ”
Shi Lei smiled apologetically at Lu Xiaoming, and joined the crowd of people looking at the wood with Wei Qing.
Most of those people squatted on the ground, looking at the cross-section of the yellow pear log sawn from the roots, without exception, there were grids, the difference was that the middle grid was thick, and there were not too many patterns.
This is a half-gamble, because it is almost guaranteed that every log is qualified, and there is almost no complete gambling collapse, but there are always bets up and down.
Generally speaking, the root is the thickest part of the yellow pear lattice, so whether it can be used as a material for furniture can be judged from the cross-section. However, whether it can be made into furniture after cutting depends on the overall structure of the log. Some Huanghuali trees are extremely thin in the tip grid, so thin that they can't even make beads, and gradually enlarge all the way down, and the root section looks coarse, so it may not really be able to produce good core materials.
But the grid of the roots, at least the best degree of this log, if you want to bet on a big rise, it is not possible.
Wei Qing squatted down as soon as he walked over, he looked at the cross-section of the log anxiously, but Shi Lei stood behind those people, condescendingly scanning each log.
On top of each log, there is a plastic nameplate, on which a few parameters are simply written, including the length of the whole tree, the approximate growth age, the environment, the diameter of the bottom, and the weight of each log.
Shi Lei counted, there were still thirteen logs on the ground, and two of them had been erected next to them, wrapped around their heads with red cloth, which were obviously the two logs that Lu Xiaoming had taken down just now.
With a total of this thing, Shi Lei directly took out his mobile phone, clicked on the app that opened the identification card on his back, and chose to use it.
Then, his mind seemed to have opened a passage to another world, and his eyes became introverted, and in Shi Lei's eyes, everything in the warehouse was covered with a faint layer of brilliance.
Look at the thirteen logs stacked on the ground.
The first one, the nameplate says that it is 150 years old, and the lattice of the root section is more than ten centimeters, and it looks like a pretty good Huanghuali.
However, Shi Lei found that the color on the surface of this log is prominent, and it is only a hundred years old at most, because this is the wood of the Republic of China, and it is not the color represented by the Qing Dynasty at all.
Of course, it is normal for the age of the trees to be a little different, which does not prevent the owners of these logs from deliberately exaggerating the age of the trees.
And the brilliance on this log is not dense, and the more to the treetops, the lighter, Shi Lei is sure, this log, to the treetops is estimated to be only a line of general grid, buy it if you plan to make some ornaments bracelet OK, want to play furniture is a fool's dream.
The second one, the nameplate is one hundred and seventy years old, and according to the color of the brilliance, the age given in Shi Lei's mind is more than one hundred and thirty years, which is still slightly exaggerated, but it is much better than the first one.
The brilliance is fairly average, but unfortunately it is not too dense, and the value should not be high.
Thirteen logs, Shi Lei quickly judged, the fifth and ninth, are excellent wood, the grid inside is extremely balanced from top to bottom, and the brilliance has hardly changed from top to bottom. The most important thing is that the concentration of brilliance is very good, Shi Lei thinks that if Wei Qing wants to make furniture for his father, these two are more suitable, and the others don't seem to be too good.
Only a few minutes passed, and Shi Lei turned his attention to the two logs that had been erected and wrapped with red cloth to indicate that they had been sold.
Suddenly, Shi Lei's eyes were attracted, these two logs are simply a comparison of one day and one place. The bottom of one of them still has some brilliance, and it seems to be very rich, but after going up less than twenty centimeters, the brilliance is almost gone, indicating that the lattice of this log is broken from the root to the top twenty centimeters, and the upper part is completely white core, and this wood is completely broken.
This situation is also relatively rare, and Shi Lei can only sigh that Lu Xiaoming's luck is too bad.
But the other one made Shi Lei feel that Lu Xiaoming's luck was too good.
Because the lattice at the root of the wood is only about ten centimeters in diameter, but when it goes up less than a slap distance, it suddenly shines so brightly that the entire warehouse is eclipsed.
Shi Lei frowned and took a closer look, only to find that there was a particularly large tumor in the place where the roots of this Huanghuali log were slapped upward, probably because this tumor blocked the rough grid from extending downward, making the grid in this log in a spindle-shaped.
Wei Qing chatted with the people around him, and at the same time also selected a log.
Shi Lei saw that Wei Qing chose the fifth log that could produce a good character, so he didn't squeak, but watched Wei Qing quote the price to the other party from a distance. The price quoted by Wei Qing directly doubled the reserve price marked on the nameplate on the log, and this price was basically in place, and the owner was more satisfied, and Wei Qing greeted everyone else at the beginning, so naturally no one robbed him, so Wei Qing took the log at a price of 1.2 million.
Tied with a yellow cloth, the log selected by Wei Qing was also erected, indicating that it had been sold.
Of course, this was not enough, Wei Qing continued to pick among the remaining logs, and Shi Lei wandered around the warehouse again.
He suddenly saw a different shade of light flashing in the corner of the warehouse, and when he walked over to take a look, he saw that it was a batch of fragmented wood, which was basically more than a meter long.
