The Sultan of Hazak is not only the hereditary leader of the state, but also a candidate for the king of Malaysia, and his status is naturally very noble. For this meeting, Xiao Ping also made some preparations. He deliberately changed into formal clothes, a well-fitting brand-name suit and shiny leather shoes, which added a bit of spirit to Xiao Pingping, looking like a successful person.

When Lin Zukang saw Xiao Ping's outfit, he couldn't help but praise from the bottom of his heart: "Sure enough, the Buddha relies on gold clothes, and people rely on clothes, you are really good at dressing, very good!"

In fact, Lim Zukang is also dressed more formally today, he has changed into traditional Malaysian clothes, and he looks no different from the locals. Of course, Lin Zukang's dress is much more casual than Xiao Ping's, but he and the Hazak Sultan have been old friends for many years, and it is not rude to dress a little casually.

The two of them got on Lim Zukang's Bentley and drove to the Sultan's dormitory in Johor Bahru. Since it is the Sultan's home, of course, the location is not bad, and the dormitory is located in a quiet part of Johor Bahru City, and the land here is not something you can buy with money.

The Sultan's dormitory is a building that is almost entirely timbered in a typical local style. However, it is a little different from Xiao Ping's imagination, the Sultan's dormitory is not majestic and tall, let alone compared with the Forbidden City in the capital, even compared with Lin Zukang's villa, it is far from it. Looking at this somewhat "shabby" dormitory, Xiao Ping couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

Lin Zukang also saw Xiao Ping's emotions, and explained to him in a low voice: "This dormitory has been handed down by successive generations of sultans, don't look at the small area, but it is a very precious monument. It was also because many places were in disrepair that Khazak Sultan decided to renovate the dormitory, otherwise he would not have bought so much precious wood. ”

Xiao Ping nodded and said, "I can see it." It's been a few years since the palace was built, and it was an honor for me to see such a monument up close. ”

Lin Zukang reminded Xiao Ping like this. I was afraid that he would despise the Sultan because of the size of the dormitory. Now seeing that Xiao Ping didn't mean anything like this, he was secretly relieved.

After the briefing. Xiao Ping and Lin Zukang were taken into a room in the dormitory. The two waited for a few minutes, and the Khazak Sultan himself came out to meet them.

The Khazak Sultan looked like an ordinary old man, like most of the locals, thin, swarthy, and wearing a pair of short-sighted glasses. Like Lin Zukang, he wore the same traditional local costume, with a kind smile on his face, and as soon as he walked into the room, he said loudly in Chinese: "Welcome two guests to my house." ”

When the Sultan walked into the room, Xiao Ping and Lin Zukang had already stood up. At this time, Lin Zukang walked forward quickly and hugged the Sultan who had already opened his arms.

After the hug. Sultan Hazak held Lin Zukang's hand and smiled: "Old friend, I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you doing lately?"

"I'm still the same, I can eat and sleep. Lin Zukang said with a smile: "Your complexion looks very good, and it seems that your body is much better than a while ago." ”

"yes, I've been recovering well lately. The Sultan happily replied to Lin Zukang, then looked at Xiao Ping and said, "This is Mr. Xiao, right?"

Lin Zukang hurriedly introduced the Sultan: "This is Xiao Ping, I mentioned it to you, he is a good young man." ”

The Sultan took the initiative to stretch out his hand to Xiao Ping and said, "Hello." Mr. Xiao, it's not easy to get Zu Kang's praise. I heard him say that the two red sandalwood are yours, I went to see it in person, and it was really good wood. Mr. Xiao is really young and promising. ”

"You've won a prize. Xiao Ping smiled modestly: "I'm just lucky, and I'm still far from the four words of youth and promise." ”

Khazak Sultan smiled happily: "Yes, today's young people can have such achievements as you. There are not many people who still maintain a modest attitude, and Zu Kang really didn't look at the wrong person!"

Although we have only met for a long time. But this sultan gave Xiao Ping a very good impression, and thought that he was a very easy-going old man. The Sultan invited the two to sit down. Then a servant brought a drink.

To Xiao Ping's surprise, the servant served authentic green tea. He took a sip slowly, feeling that although it was not as good as the best Longjing he gave to Lin Zukang, it was also a rare and good tea.

Seeing Xiao Ping's appearance of tasting tea, Sultan Hazak asked in surprise: "Mr. Xiao is also very good at tea, right?"

Lin Zukang said with a smile: "Xiao Xiao is not only very researched, do you remember the Longjing I invited you to drink last time? ”

Sultan Hazak also likes to drink tea very much, and at this time he couldn't help but be surprised and happy: "I didn't expect that Mr. Xiao is still a master of tea ceremony, and the next time there is new tea, can you give me a little love?"

The Sultan is also a big man no matter what he says, not to mention the possibility of becoming the buyer of those agarwood, Xiao Ping felt that it must not be wrong to maintain a good relationship with him, so he immediately smiled and said: "Your Excellency, you are too polite, I still have some new tea at home this year, and I will send you some when I go back, please taste it." ”

Xiao Ping didn't mention money at all, and of course the Sultan understood what he meant, and immediately smiled and said, "How embarrassing is this, such a precious tea ......"

Without waiting for the Sultan to finish speaking, Xiao Ping said with a straight face: "Actually, I don't have much tea every year, and I don't think about making any money from this, so I just add some fun to friends who like this, so you're welcome." ”

Seeing that Xiao Ping said sincerely, the Sultan no longer refused, nodded with satisfaction and said, "It's better to be respectful than to obey your orders, then I'm not welcome." ”

Seeing that the Sultan accepted Xiao Ping's kindness, Lin Zukang also joked beside him: "Okay, you Xiao Xiao, why did you have to pay for it when I wanted tea last year, but this year it started to give away for nothing, is it because I look easier to bully?"

"Look at what you said. Xiao Ping smiled bitterly: "I wasn't poor last year, as long as there is an opportunity to make money, I will never let it go." This year, I have plenty of money, so I am naturally not so anxious to make money. Besides, I didn't ask for your money this year!"

Xiao Ping's straightforward words made Lin Zukang and Sultan Hazak laugh at the same time. Both of them think that he is very straightforward, neither hypocritically concealing his desire to make money, but he is not greedy after having money, and he is indeed a good young man.

After this greeting, the atmosphere became much more relaxed, and the Hazak Sultan quickly turned to the topic, looked at Xiao Ping and asked, "I heard Lin Kang say that you have several large pieces of agarwood that you want to sell?"

"Yes. Xiao Ping replied honestly: "A few pieces of agarwood are in Mr. Lin's warehouse, and he said that he can make a few pieces of small furniture." ”

Hearing Xiao Ping say that his wood was large enough to make furniture, even the Khazak Sultan was taken aback. Even Malaysia, which is rich in agarwood, has not seen such a large agarwood in the past ten years.

Thinking of this, the Sultan couldn't sit still, and hurriedly asked Xiao Ping: "Is it convenient for me to see those woods?"

Lin Zukang smiled beside him: "I know that you must be interested, I have already brought agarwood here, as long as you nod your head, you can move in." ”

The Khazak Sultan hurriedly ordered to go down, and it didn't take long for the three of them to see agarwood in a warehouse in the dormitory. Rao is a well-informed sultan and couldn't help but be surprised to see such a large agarwood.

The surprised Sultan Hazak didn't bother to talk to Xiao Ping, so he walked forward quickly to take a closer look. In his memory, a large piece of natural agarwood like this had only appeared once, and that was more than thirty years ago. It is hard for the Sultan to believe that in the twenty-first century, such a large agarwood can still be found. And as soon as it appeared, it was three pieces, which was too appalling.

Hereditary aristocrats like the Sultan were very adept at discerning these luxuries. Hazak looked around the three pieces of agarwood for a long time, but he couldn't find any traces of artificial cultivation. In fact, Lin Zukang tried the same thing, but he also got nothing like the Sultan.

It's not that the appreciation level of the two is too poor, but that Xiao Ping's incense planting methods are too clever. The foreign body used to stimulate the agarwood tree to secrete resin is its own thin wood chip, and after a long time, the thin wood chip has been integrated with the wooden part of the trunk, where can you still see the slightest trace of artificiality? In fact, the agarwood cultivated by this means can be called natural agarwood, and its quality is even slightly better than that of most natural agarwood.

The Khazak Sultan has also seen this. He admired the agarwood while admiring it, and then shook his head and said to Xiao Ping: "These three pieces are indeed the best agarwood, and the quality is so high that I have never seen it before." ”

Lin Zukang smiled proudly: "Now you should believe my words, this young man is a great blessing, you need to find any precious wood, just look for him." ”

The Khazak Sultan also nodded in agreement, and then asked Xiao Ping: "How much do you plan to sell these three pieces of agarwood?"

Without waiting for Xiao Ping to speak, Lin Zukang said to the Sultan: "I won't tell you, I also bought a piece of agarwood." That one was bigger than all three, and I spent four million dollars. But these three pieces are twice as big as my wood, and I think it's about seven million. ”

Lin Zukang said this because he wanted to set an approximate price for this transaction. After all, Xiao Ping and Hazak Sultan are his friends, Lin Zukang must be impartial and not let anyone suffer losses in this transaction, otherwise he will not be a good person in the future.

Listening to Lin Zukang's words, Sultan Hazak nodded first and said: "The quality of these agarwood is indeed very good, and the price of seven million is fair, I don't know what you think, Mr. Xiao?"

Speaking in his heart, Xiao Ping felt that this price was not bad, and when he was about to nod his head and agree to the Sultan's offer, his eyes inadvertently swept over a row of glass cases in the corner of the warehouse, and he was immediately attracted by one of the displays, and he couldn't help but show a surprised expression.
