"Mr. Xiao, you're not kidding, are you?" After listening to Xiao Ping's request, Song Chai said incredulously: "Do you really want to use the largest part of this Shen spice to carve a jewelry box as a whole?" ”

Xiao Ping nodded without hesitation: "Of course it's not a joke, otherwise why would I have moved this piece of Shen Spice to you all the way away." ”

Xiao Ping still felt strange, this was not the first time Song Chai had helped him carve a jewelry box, did he need to be so excited? But what he didn't expect was that the wood used to carve the jewelry box last time he asked Song Chai was not so big. And this piece of agarwood is far better than the last one in terms of volume, no wonder Song Chai has such a reaction.

Although he received Xiao Ping's affirmative answer, Song Chai Wu checked with him uneasily: "Don't really carve the pattern like last time outside, and don't plan to inlay pearls?" ”

"Of course it's true." Xiao Ping said calmly: "On the surface, you only need a very simple line embellishment, the key is the bas-relief inside the lid, I hope to show the scene of the early morning, but as concise as possible, this is the focus of the whole jewelry box." ”

Xiao Ping certainly arranged this for a reason. Because this jewelry box was given to Su Chenlin, with her cold personality, she would definitely not like a jewelry box with complicated decorations, and the simple style would make her like it even more. As for the pearls inlaid on the surface, Su Chenlin is an animal protectionist, and he will never like animal products on the jewelry box.

And the most important decoration of the whole jewelry box is the bas-relief inside the lid. Xiao Ping asked Song Chai to carve the scene of the early morning, which just matched Su Chenlin's name. It can be seen that he is indeed very attentive.

After listening to Xiao Ping's request, Song Chai 's expression also became solemn, and he touched his chin and muttered: "Use relief to express the feeling of early morning." Well...... It's really difficult! ”

"That's why I brought this piece of timber to Malaysia to trouble you." Xiao Ping smiled and said to Song Chai: "I want to think about it, such a difficult relief can only be completed by you." ”

This sentence made Song Chai very satisfied, he nodded and smiled: "It's really difficult, but it's not necessarily impossible, give me some time to think about it, I will have a way." ”

Xiao Ping said politely: "Then I'll trouble you, please notify me when the things are ready." I'll thank you again when the time comes. ”

Xiao Ping said this politely, and the implication was that he would give Song Chai a very good reward. Song Chai also knew that this young man was generous, and nodded and smiled at Xiao Ping with satisfaction. Then I went to the side of the agarwood to think about how to carve the material.

Lin Zukang looked at the large piece of agarwood with some envy, shook his head and sighed to Xiao Ping: "Such a good material is only used to make a jewelry box, it's really too luxurious!" ”

In fact, Lin Zukang is not wrong in what he said, such a large agarwood material. Even a set of tables and chairs is enough. Agarwood is rarely seen. It is already a very good thing to have an agarwood coffee table, a set of agarwood tables and chairs, it is dumbfounded to think about it.

And Xiao Ping wants to use the largest piece of it to make a jewelry box, and the utilization of the rest is much lower, so Lin Zukang will say this.

Looking at Lin Zukang's regretful expression, Xiao Ping suddenly said in his heart: "Mr. Lin, I really want a jewelry box." If you don't like it, the extra wood will be given to you. Think of it as a little bit of thought. ”

"How does this work?!" Lin Zukang hurriedly shook his head and said, "I can't ask for such a valuable thing!" ”

What Lin Zukang said was not a kind word. The volume of agarwood peeled out today is very large, even if the widest part is cut off to make a jewelry box, there are many remaining parts, enough to make a coffee table and a chessboard.

In the market, such a set of coffee tables and chessboards made of the best agarwood can be sold for millions of dollars. If you meet the right buyer, it is not impossible to offer a price of tens of millions.

Although for Lin Zukang, this amount of money is not a big amount, but such a large agarwood material is too rare, and it is completely a situation where there is no place to buy it. That's why he said that these woods were valuable and refused to accept Xiao Ping's gifts.

Seeing Lin Zukang's efforts to excuse himself, Xiao Ping couldn't help laughing, he winked at the old man and said, "Mr. Lin, you also know the truth, I am very lucky, this piece of wood is really nothing to me." All I need to do is make a jewelry box, and I don't want to go through the hassle of shipping other wood back. We've known each other for so long, so you'll be a favor for me and take over these woods! ”

Seeing that Xiao Ping had talked about this, Lin Zukang couldn't help but hesitate. He really liked the wood, and he was reluctant to give it up. After thinking for a while, he finally nodded lightly and said, "Okay, I want these woods, but I will write you a check according to the market price, don't shirk this, otherwise forget it!" ”

For Lin Zukang, he was already very happy to get this piece of agarwood, so he must give the money. This is a matter of principle for Lin Zukang, otherwise he would rather give up this piece of wood.

Xiao Ping also understood Lin Zukang's character, and did not insist on giving him the wood, but said with a smile: "I don't think it's better to be like this, Mr. Lin, don't give me the money." You sign two checks, both for two million dollars. One is for the Xianhu Charity Foundation, and the other is for the World Animal Protection Organization, what do you think? ”

Although Xiao Ping opened his mouth and asked for Lin Zukang's four million US dollars, the price of this piece of agarwood in the market was at least doubled, and the price he gave was already very cheap. What's more, this money was donated to charity and animal protection, which also helped to enhance Lin Zukang's reputation, and the conditions offered by Xiao Ping were very generous.

Lin Zukang was not hypocritical, and immediately agreed: "No problem, then it's decided." ”

"Hehe, then I'll thank Mr. Lin for those two organizations." Xiao Ping was also in a good mood, and thanked Lin Zukang with a smile.

For Xiao Ping, the Xianhu Charity Fund is the brainchild of Li Wanqing and Zhang Yuxin, while the World Animal Protection Organization is what Su Chenlin is most concerned about. He was of course very happy to be able to get a large amount of donations for these two organizations, and it could also make these confidants happy.

Looking at Xiao Ping's sincere smile, Lin Zukang suddenly shook his head and said in a low voice: "Xiao Xiaoyou, your mentality is really good, if everyone is like you, alas, ......"

Speaking of this, Lin Zukang sighed and did not continue the topic. Since he didn't say it, of course Xiao Ping wouldn't ask. After a short silence, Lin Zukang adjusted his mood and said, "I want to thank you for leaving me this piece of good material and coming to my house for dinner today, right?" ”

"Then disturb me." Xiao Ping accepted Lin Zukang's invitation without hesitation, but he didn't expect that this dinner would bring him huge trouble. (To be continued......)
