It's really surprising and surprising that this thing is really more than 400 years old. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Although Lin Quan didn't know how Denise measured it, because Mahogany himself also had a certain age, he was still convinced of this number, and Denise had no reason to lie to him.

"Where did you buy this?"

Denise herself was shocked to learn that a piece of furniture is nearly 500 years old, and a fool knows what that means.

"Found at a furniture market!"

Lin Quan is not without pride, he is indeed lucky, he found this thing after going out for a walk, and he didn't spend a penny on this thing to get it, which has to be said that he took shit luck.

"Such a historical artifact can sell for at least $2.5 million if it is sent to the auction house!"

Denise quickly assessed its value, ordinary furniture is difficult to keep for a long time because of the limited material, but this is a mahogany furniture, because of its high quality, so it can be preserved for a long time, if it is replaced with ordinary materials, this thing will have long been decayed by now.

"Hehe, I know he's valuable, but we don't have a deal to worry about this auction! we don't have a suitable middleman to help us run this matter at the moment!"

Lin Quan originally planned to transport this thing back to China, but after thinking about it, there is actually an auction house here in France, and because France was a colonial country in the past, they have plundered a lot of cultural relics from all over the world, so every time they have an auction here, there will be many enthusiasts coming from all over the world, wanting to find something they like, so it may be better to auction it in France.

"Well, if you really want to sell, the Drouot auction house in Paris is good, this auction house is the largest and most formal auction house in France and even the whole of Europe, and they mainly auction furniture among the things!"

Denise obviously knows a lot about this area, because many of the cultural relics they have obtained from archaeology in the past can eventually flow to the auction market, which makes her feel very helpless, and many cultural relics are even traded by the government through underground channels, which makes her even more helpless.

For those countries that do not have well-established laws and regulations on the protection of cultural relics, cultural relics are just commodities for them, and they may be sold for money at any time.

"Drouot's auction house, it's big, I've heard of it!"

Drouot auction house has auctioned many cultural relics looted from China by the French army during the Second Opium War and the Eight-Nation Alliance's war of aggression against China, among which several cultural relics are of great concern to everyone, one is the jade seal used by Qianlong, and the other is the rat head and rabbit head among the twelve divine beasts and other bronze heads whose whereabouts are unknown.

The collector of the Qianlong jade seal released several times, saying that they would auction this jade seal at the Drouot auction house, but in the end it was all gone, although this thing did not show up, but the experts said that this thing is indeed something, not hype, and in this way, the Drouot auction house has naturally become the focus of everyone's attention.

In fact, this Qianlong jade seal was finally auctioned, but it was auctioned four years later, and the transaction price reached 21 million euros, more than 20 times the starting price, creating a big sensation at the time.

In fact, the auction industry in France is still very formal, and the handling fee is not very expensive, generally counting the insurance premium and commission, the client can get about 87% of the income, and the person who gets the auction item also has to pay a commission of about 15%, so every time there is a high-priced item auctioned successfully, the most earning is of course the auction house, for example, 1 million things, they charge on both sides, you can get more than 250,000 income, so the auction house industry is actually a profiteering industry.

"I know one of their gold medal auctioneers, he happens to know a lot about the furniture industry, if you want to auction, I can introduce you!"

Lin Quan sometimes sighed that it was really good to have Denise by her side, she could help with everything, and she was worried that there was no way out, so she pointed to the light.

So Lin Quan began to contact the auction house, and as for the mahogany furniture he bought, Lin Quan was not ready to sell it immediately, if these things were sold, the income would not be very high, and if he kept them, he would still be useful.

"The age of these mahogany trees is a little shorter, only more than 600 years, no wonder they can't be sold for a high price!"

Lin Quan took a lot of effort to check the age of these mahogany furniture, these furniture have just been made, but the age of the tree is relatively long, the largest is more than 700 years, which is difficult to find at present.

The growth rate of mahogany is very slow, one generation and two generations can not see any change at all, a hundred years of inch sandalwood is said that if you want to grow an inch in diameter, it will take at least 100 years, and an inch is only a few centimeters, six or seven hundred years, the trunk is only 20-30 cm, they are not the most valuable in the market, but the mahogany is scarce, although they are not good, but compared with other materials it is much better, so it is naturally sold very expensive.

There is another reason why mahogany is precious, that is, ten sandalwood and nine emptiness! Sandalwood is very easy to hollow out, a tree finally grows so big, but the inside is hollow, then the use value of the tree is greatly reduced, so sandalwood is very precious.

If only this thing could be grown on a large scale and let it grow quickly!

The more he understood the preciousness of this thing, the more urgent that thought in Lin Quan's heart became.

It's just that the ascension effect of the Jade of Life can meet the requirements?

Puzzled, he took out his two pieces of jade, one of the jade of water, gentle and gentle, and the other of the jade of life, crystal clear.

Holding these two pieces of jade in his hand, Lin Quan felt like there was a clear spring in his heart, constantly washing his soul, making him feel as if he was in a hollow valley.

"Does this thing have an effect on living things, but on dead things?"

Lin Quan had a whim, this thing can help plants grow quickly, and he can feel it when he pinches it in his hand, so can this thing have an effect on dead plants?

He thought for a moment, took a wooden stick, and put the jade of life next to him to look at it.

One second, two seconds, one minute, two minutes......

Five minutes passed, and it still didn't work.

Lin Quan was a little self-deprecating, he seemed to be thinking too much, he put the two pieces of jade together, ready to put them away, but the two pieces of jade just happened to be together.

"Tick!"

A green transparent liquid dripped on this wooden stick! Lin Quan's eyes widened suddenly!
