Chapter 41: The Archaeology Prize

"Ah, these tables, chairs and benches must all be made of rosewood, I heard that this kind of wood is very precious. Xu Gang took a deep breath, as if he wanted to absorb the aroma of rosewood in the room.

"The only thing in the rosewood is the Eight Immortals table, and the rest are Huanghuali furniture, but they are all old things, and it is not easy for my grandfather to collect these things. Liu Mengxun explained.

"Huanghuali, I've only heard people say that rosewood is more valuable, how about this Huanghuali wood?" asked Xu Gang with a disappointed expression.

Zhang Tianyuan smiled and said: "You guy, let's go back and read more books, don't say that Lao Tzu knows you in the future!"

"What's wrong!" Xu Gang said dissatisfied.

Zhang Tianyuan said: "According to records, as early as the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, Hainan rosewood species were on the verge of extinction, and in the following hundreds of years, 70% of China's rosewood furniture were sent abroad, and the only remaining small amount of rosewood in China was used in house construction, made into pot lids, abacus beads and even hoes, scattered among the people, facing damage. At present, the common varieties of huanghuali in the market are produced in Vietnam and Myanmar. Its color is brighter, the taste is stronger, but the texture and layer are more chaotic, and the price of rosewood is ten times lower than that of Hainan Huanghuali. ”

"After talking for a long time, you still haven't said how Huanghuali is. ”

Zhang Tianyuan didn't bother to explain, so he directly took out his mobile phone and clicked on a webpage for Xu Gang to see by himself.

According to market research, the market situation of Vietnamese huanghuali (fragrant stick) in December 2010 was: (unit ton)

General material: Southern Market: 210,000-250,000

Northern market: 260,000-300,000 yuan, medium market: southern market: 340,000-380,000 northern market: 33-360,000 yuan, selected material: southern market: 450,000-490,000 yuan

Northern market: 460,000-500,000. ”

"I'll go, this gold, it's so expensive! What did you just say, Hainan Huanghuali is ten times higher than this thing, doesn't that mean that ordinary materials have more than two million to three million per ton!" Xu Gang said in surprise after reading it.

According to the latest news, the Vietnamese Huanghuali premium product can be sold for a high price of nearly six million per ton, which is five or sixty million yuan for the Hainan Huanghuali that has almost disappeared. Liu Mengxun said with a smile.

"Mom, do you dare to sit on this thing?" Xu Gang swallowed and said, "Why do I feel that I will go bankrupt if I touch it a little." ”

This is the same as the person who drove 50,000 or 60,000 cars saw a Bugatti Veyron driving next to him, and he looked terrified, for fear of rubbing a little trace, and he couldn't afford to pay for it.

"It's okay, sit down, these things are placed here for people to sit, otherwise what are you doing, just be careful." Liu Mengxun smiled and said.

But after knowing the value of these things, Xu Gang refused to sit down, and said to Liu Mengxun with a smile: "You better move a stool for me, I don't dare to sit on this thing, my heart is uneasy." ”

"Look at how scared you, I don't have the guts. Mu Ying said with a smile.

"Good wife, if I break a chair, I will have to hang myself, and you will be widowed by then. Xu Gang sighed and said.

"Ghosts will be widows, I'll just find a rich man to marry. Mu Ying said with a smile.

"Alright, you two don't flirt. Mengxun, didn't you just say that you invited a few experts? What about them?" asked Zhang Tianyuan.

"Like Gangzi, they were afraid of damaging the furniture here, so they all went to a small house in the backyard, where the things were expensive, but they didn't fit well with the garden. Liu Mengxun said embarrassedly.

"It can't all be sofas and modern appliances, right?"

"You're right, that place is the place where I watch movies and listen to songs during my break, I'm afraid it's the most modern place in the whole garden, but the sofa is also expensive, and it's all leather, of course, compared to the furniture here, it's far worse. Liu Mengxun blushed and said red.

"No, I said you rich people, why bother, alas, I don't understand. Let's go to that place. Xu Gang rubbed his hands and said, obviously he still prefers soft sofas to these hardwood furniture.

In fact, it is said to be a small house, and the place is not small at all, and it is almost as fast as the 3DIMAX screening hall in the cinema.

As soon as I entered, I saw several people talking and laughing around a table, including an old man with gray hair and a girl in her prime age.

Seeing Liu Mengxun coming in, those people all stood up, and one of the old men said with a smile: "Miss Xiaoliu, are these the people you are looking for?"

"That's right, Zhang Tianyuan and Xu Gang are all my friends, Zhang Tianyuan is also an expert in treasure appreciation, and he is a top student of the Department of Archaeology of Nandu University. Liu Mengxun nodded.

"Oh, Zhang Tianyuan, I have an impression, I have an impression! I just don't know if you still know the old man?" the old man asked with a smile.

Zhang Tianyuan frowned slightly, but soon laughed: "You are Professor Wang!"

"Ha Luha, I didn't expect your kid to recognize the old man, when I first went to your school to give a speech, you little doll asked a few questions, but the old man was stumped, I didn't expect us to meet one day. Professor Wang said with a smile.

"At the beginning, I was young and frivolous, I didn't understand anything, I asked some questions that I didn't know, and I asked Professor Wang not to take it to heart. Zhang Tianyuan smiled bitterly.

"No, no, no, how can I not take it to heart, to be honest, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to make a breakthrough in my professional direction, I've always wanted to find you to thank you, but there is no news from you, and your classmates don't know your contact information. Professor Wang shook his head and said.

Zhang Tianyuan was a little embarrassed, when he just graduated, because he ran into a wall everywhere when he was looking for a job, he simply gave up on himself after the worst, changed his mobile phone number, and it happened that the ball he had been using was also stolen, and he couldn't contact all his classmates since then.

"Last year, Professor Wang published a paper in the world's famous archaeological journal "Searching for Roots", which shocked the whole world, and won the first prize of the Xia Nai's Archaeological Research Achievement Award and the Prince of Asturias Social Science Award, known as the Nobel Prize in archaeology! This award is the second time that China has won the award, and the discovery of the terracotta warriors and horses of Qin Shi Huang when the first time he won the award shows the preciousness of Professor Wang's paper. Liu Mengxun explained with a smile.

"Speaking of which, I can win the award, and I have to thank Zhang Tianyuan for his inspiration, his questions simply made me deafening. Professor Wang said calmly.

"No, how much did you win?" Xu Gang said with a smile.

"Gangzi, all you have in your mind is money!" Zhang Tianyuan said dissatisfied.

"The bonus is not much, a total of less than two million RMB, if Zhang Tianyuan is in difficulty, this can be divided into almost half of you. Professor Wang smiled.

Regardless of whether he said this sincerely or falsely, Zhang Tianyuan must not be embarrassed to ask for it, the unintentional question at the beginning was just an impulse, people can turn those questions into research success, that is people's ability, Zhang Tianyuan is not shameless enough to ask for this kind of money.

"Don't listen to Gangzi's nonsense, you can win the award, that's Professor Wang's ability, what am I. Zhang Tianyuan hurriedly waved his hand.

"Hahaha, classmate Zhang Tianyuan, how about it, don't want money, can you be the old man's assistant in the future, the old man needs you to be such a professional knowledge, responsible, not arrogant and impatient assistant." Professor Wang said with a smile, obviously very satisfied with Zhang Tianyuan's performance.

Zhang Tianyuan smiled bitterly and said: "Don't hide it from Professor Wang, Gangzi and I have opened a few stores in Shangpu, and now the business is not bad, I'm afraid I don't have time to help you." ”

"It's a pity, if you are in business, you are really a waste of talent, it's a pity!"
