This is a set of four ancient books. The label is written as a rare ancient book of the Qing Dynasty, but according to Jiang Ping's eyes, this set of books should be a stone inscription book of the late Qing Dynasty. Wu Hanqing's price for this set of books is 3,000 yuan. However, Jiang Ping knew in his heart that this was just his offer, and if he wanted to buy it sincerely, he could get it for up to two thousand yuan.

Jiang Ping knew that in 2002, the collecting craze was not as crazy as it was in later generations. In particular, antiques such as books from the Qing Dynasty are not very popular, and the prices are certainly not much higher. If it were in the future, this set of books would have to sell for at least tens of thousands of yuan, and it would have to be lucky.

Wu Hanqing was an old business after all, and he immediately saw that Jiang Ping was interested in this set of books, so he asked him with a smile: "Do you want to take it to you for a closer look?"

Since it has been seen by the other party, Jiang Ping is not hypocritical, and nodded in agreement.

Wu Hanqing put on gloves and carefully took out the set of books for Jiang Ping to see. Jiang Ping also put on gloves and looked at the books page by page, and it didn't take long to determine that this set of ancient books from the late Qing Dynasty was in good condition, and it was indeed a relatively rare rare book.

"There is no problem with the condition. Wu Hanqing whispered to Jiang Ping: "I believe that you can also see what age it is, so I won't say more, just pay back the price if you want to." ”

Jiang Ping put down the ancient book in his hand, stretched out two fingers to Wu Hanqing and said, "Two thousand yuan, how about it?"

The price offered by Jiang Ping is not too far from Wu Hanqing's psychological price. In addition, he had a good impression of this young man, and he didn't want to bargain with Jiang Ping for a few hundred yuan, so he nodded after thinking for a while: "Deal!"

So before Jiang Ping had just earned the 4,000 yuan, half of it returned to Wu Hanqing's hands, which also made him feel very good.

Although it seems that Wu Hanqing's set of ancient books is one-third cheaper, because there is not much market for ancient books, he doesn't know when he will be able to sell them if he continues to keep them. For businessmen, capital turnover is very important, even if it is only a mere 2,000 yuan, but for Wu Hanqing it is also a business after all.

While Wu Hanqing was happy, Jiang Ping was also in a very good mood. Maybe in the current era, it is indeed difficult for others to sell ancient books, but this is not difficult for Jiang Ping.

Jiang Ping, who has the memory of later generations, knows that there is a collector in Suzhou City, who has been collecting all kinds of ancient books since the beginning of the 21st century. By 2014, he had a staggering 120,000 collection of ancient books and had established a private museum of ancient books.

Later generations have reported that this collector did not care about the cost when collecting ancient books, and as long as the books were in good condition, they would buy them at a high price. In terms of time, now is the time for the collector to collect ancient books everywhere. Jiang Ping believed that the set of ancient books he had just bought would definitely sell for a good price from collectors.

Today's harvest is indeed not small, and Jiang Ping is ready to go home. He carefully wrapped the ancient book, and was about to leave Julongzhai, but his eyes were attracted by something in the corner of the Bogu shelf.

It is a piece of wood that is about three inches long and more than two inches thick, and the surface color varies from pale gray to almost black. The surface of the wood is knotted, and there are many pitted scars, which look very old.

Maybe in the eyes of ordinary people, this is an ordinary piece of rotten wood, even Wu Hanqing put this piece of wood in the corner of the Bogu frame, and it seems that he doesn't pay attention to it. However, in Jiang Ping's opinion, this piece of wood is a rare good thing. He hurriedly stepped forward to take a closer look, and soon made sure that he was really not mistaken.

Jiang Ping looked at the wood in front of him and couldn't help muttering in his heart: "This is ...... Agarwood. ”

Jiang Ping, who had rich experience in his previous life, could see at a glance that this was indeed a rare piece of agarwood. From the faint fragrance of agarwood, mixed with milk and sweetness, Jiang Ping can even tell that this is an agarwood produced in the Daragan region of Indonesia.

Darakan is a well-known source of agarwood, and the agarwood produced in that region is very popular and highly sought after in later generations. As long as Jiang Ping buys this piece of agarwood back, even if he doesn't do anything, as long as he waits for more than ten years, the value of this piece of agarwood will increase dozens of times, which is definitely a very good investment.

Seeing that Jiang Ping lingered in front of Bogujia, Wu Hanqing also approached and asked, "Xiao Jiang, you also have research on this thing?"

"A little bit of understanding. Jiang Ping smiled modestly at Wu Hanqing, and then asked with a straight face: "Mr. Wu, how much do you plan to sell this piece of agarwood?"

Wu Hanqing thought for a while, and said to Jiang Ping with a smile: "I won't tell you, this piece of agarwood was collected by me a few years ago, and it cost a thousand yuan at the beginning. If you really want it, take two thousand dollars!"

Although the price offered by Wu Hanqing was twice as high as the purchase price, it was actually not expensive. After all, a thousand yuan a few years ago is worth more than a thousand yuan now. And Jiang Ping really likes this piece of agarwood, so he made an exception and did not bargain, but directly gave the remaining 2,000 yuan in his pocket to Wu Hanqing, and bought this piece of agarwood that was worth at least 100,000 yuan in ten years.

Of course, Jiang Ping, who was in a hurry to raise medical expenses for his sister, would not wait for ten years, and by then the daylily would be cold. He bought this piece of agarwood with the intention of using it for carving.

In his previous life, Jiang Ping was a very clever master of art forgery, and engraving on various materials was also one of his specialties. Jiang Ping planned to carve this piece of agarwood well, and then use the technology of the previous life to make it old and sell it as an antique. In this way, even if the current price of agarwood is not high, Jiang Ping can make a lot of money from it.

After receiving the money, Wu Hanqing put the piece of agarwood, which had been unattended for a long time, into Jiang Ping's hand. As soon as the agarwood was started, Jiang Ping's heart also beat a few times. The weight of this piece of agarwood is much heavier than Jiang Ping's estimate. Insiders know that the quality of agarwood, in addition to the place of origin, is largely related to its weight.

After a long time, the sap will soak the wooden part of the trunk, and the original white wooden part will turn from light gray to dark brown and other colors, forming the so-called agarwood.

The more sap and weight agarwood contains, the better the quality will be. The best agarwood has a specific gravity of more than one, and it will sink to the bottom when put in water, which is also the origin of its name.

And the agarwood in Jiang Ping's hand was much heavier than he estimated, almost close to mahogany such as small-leaved red sandalwood. Jiang Ping judged from the experience of his previous life that even if this piece of agarwood did not reach the best submersible level, it was at least semi-submerged, which was already extremely rare. If you find a buyer who knows the goods, even if you don't do any carving, there is absolutely no problem in selling it for 10,000 yuan at the current market. In other words, Jiang Ping picked up two more leaks in this Julong Zhai!

Today's harvest was better than expected, and it also made Jiang Ping feel good, he took the two things he had just collected and rode his bicycle home.
