"Mr. Harris, you're here. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info" Rick's voice rang out.

Li Du and Hans glanced at each other, this was another opponent, and their trip to Holbrook had not been smooth.

Soon, Harris's swishing voice rang out, "Well, I'll see how you're getting ready." ”

Little Rick hurriedly said: "There is no need to prepare, tomorrow we will go to the warehouse company, we will make the Chinese look good, and they will definitely lose their money!"

Harris sneered, "Don't be too confident, boy, that Chinese guy is not easy to deal with." ”

"Of course, but he's going to lose badly this time, and we'll tease him when the time comes," Rick said. ”

Rick added: "Yes, Mr. Harris, there is absolutely no way he would know that the mahogany furniture in the warehouse is a fake!"

Li Du and Hans glanced at each other, and Hans whispered, "Damn, you guessed it, the warehouse has no value this time, but how do they know?"

At this time, Harris spoke again, and said, "Are all those mahogany furniture really fakes? You have no problem with the news, right? If they are real, they should be worth a lot, right?"

Rick hesitated and said, "We are seventy percent sure, Mr. Harris, you have to understand that no one is 100% sure of this kind of thing. ”

Harris said dissatisfiedly: "If the mahogany in it is genuine, will you cheat the Chinese or help him at that time?"

"We've seen the photos and the mahogany furniture is supposed to be a fake," Rick Jr. said. ”

"It should be, it should be! I want to be sure! Damn, what if the mahogany furniture is genuine?"

Hearing this, Li Du had already guessed what was going on, and there was no need to listen to it later.

Hans also guessed, and said, "These bastards want to trick us with fakes, and why are they so confident that they can fool us with fake mahogany furniture?"

Li Du sighed: "Maybe it's because from the outside, those mahogany furniture are enough to make the real thing fake." ”

In fact, the mahogany furniture in the warehouse can really be fake, if it weren't for the fact that he had small insects that could enter the inside of the wood to check the texture and structure, just looking at the appearance, it was really not easy to judge their authenticity.

The three Harris are still arguing about this matter, and the Indians are very greedy, and they want to clean up Li Du and make a lot of money.

Rick meant to take a gamble, and they thought that mahogany furniture was a fake.

The reason why Li Du was determined to be recruited was because they believed that the Chinese had a fanatical and unreasonable obsession with mahogany furniture.

Rick and his son thought that as long as the mahogany furniture appeared, Li Du would definitely bid frantically to win them.

"Because Chinese like mahogany furniture, just like the French like foie gras, and the Russians like caviar." These are their exact words.

The battery in the back was dead, and they couldn't hear the three of them discussing, so it was dinner time, so they went out to find a restaurant to prepare for dinner.

Not long after sitting down, someone walked up to them and smiled: "Xiao Li, I met you here, what a coincidence." ”

Li Du turned his head and laughed, it was indeed a coincidence, he met Liu Jianguo, Zheng Fengrong and his wife, and Liu Jinlong on crutches behind him.

He went up and shook hands with the three of them one by one, and asked Liu Jinlong, "How are you recovering from your gunshot wound?"

The fat young man smiled optimistically: "It's good, but you have to be careful after a hundred days of breaking your muscles and bones." ”

He can now walk slowly without his crutches, but this time he obviously came out to play, so he walked carefully with his crutches.

Liu Jianguo asked, "Why are you coming to this town? Won't you be like us, traveling on Highway 66?"

Liu Jinlong hurriedly said: "Old man, you can't guess this? He must have come to participate in the warehouse auction, Holbrook has a warehouse to auction, right?"

Li Du nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, we are here to participate in the warehouse auction, you are from a driving tour?" Route 66 is indeed a good choice, with fewer cars and better scenery." ”

"It's just that there are too few of us Chinese, all of them are old black or white, and I feel that they are not very friendly to us. Zheng Fengrong complained.

Liu Jinlong also complained: "Who told me that Lao Tzu usually only reads books and doesn't exercise? He looks like an expert, and Lao Mo Lao Hei likes to do things to us Chinese intellectuals, and he has money and a good temper. ”

Hearing his son say this, Liu Jianguo didn't know whether to be happy or angry for a while, he smiled bitterly: "It's not good for me to be like an expert?

They were casual jokes, but when they heard it in Li Du's ears, he suddenly had an idea and had a good idea.

The aesthetic of mahogany furniture is promoted to the world with China as the core, and Chinese classical furniture has been transmitted to Western countries for a long time, but the locals do not know their origin.

It was not until 1922 that the French scholar Odiillon Roach systematically described mahogany furniture in his book "Chinese Wood Art", which began the trend of mahogany furniture collection in Europe and the United States.

Interestingly, what attracts Westerners about mahogany furniture is not its sturdiness and beauty, but its complex mortise and tenon structure.

Westerners love technical things, and they are amazed by the kaleidoscopic mortise and tenon structure of classical mahogany furniture, for which Odilang writes in his book: "In our medieval furniture design, there is nothing stronger and stronger than classical Chinese furniture." ”

In addition to the mortise and tenon structure, what fascinates Westerners even more is the craftsmanship and artistry of mahogany furniture.

However, for a long time, they did not have the idea of "copying" Chinese furniture, but simply appreciated it.

Westerners at the time believed that "some of the large Chinese frames are very elaborately carved, but this delicate expression is not for display or show-off, but for preservation and durability that can be passed down from generation to grandchildren."

They weren't interested in leaving a bunch of furniture for their children and grandchildren, so they didn't put much effort into studying mahogany furniture.

As a result, in the twenties of the last century, with the emergence of mahogany furniture collections, the knowledge reserves and cognitive level of Europeans and Americans were not up to standard, and it was easy to be deceived.

As a result, Chinese immigrants in the early years were regarded as experts in mahogany research, and they frequently appeared in the furniture buying market, helping whites and blacks to choose the best mahogany furniture.

After the end of World War II, the world entered a period of relatively peaceful development, and the collection of beautiful and practical mahogany furniture became more and more popular.

At this time, Europe and the United States began to study this craft themselves, and many of today's excellent mahogany experts are white or black.

However, in the early years, the experts left by the Chinese were too impressive, and many people who knew little about mahogany furniture still liked to trust Chinese mahogany experts.

Considering these, Li Du looked at Liu Jianguo, who was quite an expert, and had an idea.

Didn't Rick and his son set a trap for themselves? Very well, then he will also set a trap to see who is the hunter and who is the prey!
