Chapter 97: This Is Also Called the Best?
"Old Han, you have been making agarwood for more than ten years, you should have a lot of excellent products in your hands, right? Can you open our eyes? ”
On the way back, Wu Shixiang couldn't help but ask, he wanted to know what the so-called best agarwood on the market looks like? Measure your ratings.
"Haha, it's not me bragging, in the local area, my old Han said second, no one dares to say first!" Speaking of this topic, he was very proud.
"I have been collecting incense everywhere for more than ten years, and I also have some favorite things in my hands, and I will take you to see it when I get home in a while."
The three of them returned to Lao Han's four-story building, he took the two of them up to the fourth floor, opened the heavy safety door, and a strong fragrance came to his face.
"It's so fragrant!" As soon as the second marshal entered the door, he couldn't help but exclaim.
The room of more than 60 square meters is full of large and small agarwood, the fragrance is fragrant, and the heart is relaxed. The second marshal was attracted by a similar root carving at the door. In front of me is seventy or eighty centimeters high, all of which are whitebark roots, and have a peculiar shape.
"This is also agarwood?"
Old Han approached proudly, pointed to the inside of the wood and said, "Take a closer look, what's in the wood?" ”
The two of them walked in curiously, and a faint fragrance hit, and they looked at the wood that had been hollowed out by insects and ants, and it was densely packed with holes, which was very wonderful.
"This is insect eye incense, in the early years I harvested incense from the mountains, and met this agarwood root, which has a history of almost 100 years at least. It's a pity that it was cut down, leaving only the roots. But being transformed into a rare carving by insects is wonderful, right? ”
Wu Shixiang looked at it carefully for a while, and sighed that nature is wonderful, more than one kind of insect parasitizes it, coexists peacefully, and transforms the home together.
"Can this also produce agarwood?" The second marshal asked.
"Very little, after all, the tree is dead, and it can only be secreted by the residual oil, but with the participation of insects, this insect eye smell is even more peculiar. Their secretions are mixed with agarwood, which produces a richer flavor and is also a rare thing. Old Han leaned in and sniffed deeply, and said with a look of intoxication.
"You know Qi Nan, right? The best in agarwood, it is divided into three kinds: one is raw knots, varieties of cinnamon, chicken tongue, oil knot line, tree heart oil knot and so on; the second is insect leakage, including insect leakage oil, insect leakage cream; The third is ripe and fragrant, with many varieties, such as golden knots, sugar knots, honey knots, and so on. ”
Lao Han shared his years of experience, and Wu Shixiang heard for the first time that Qi Nan still had so many qualities, and he was engrossed in understanding it. These are not found online, they are all experienced.
"What do you mean this kind of weevil?"
"It's almost, but it's not comparable to Qi Nan Worm Leak. The fragrance conditions are very harsh, not only the age of the tree should be long, the environment is suitable, but also the cooperation of insects. Different species of insects produce different secretions, and the taste is very different, Vietnam has many tropical rainforests and a humid climate, which is the most suitable for producing insect drains. Once it appears, it is basically sky-high. ”
Wu Shixiang nodded and continued to ask, "Then how can you tell if it's Qi Nan?" ”
"It's all about experience, and it's easy to see as much as you want. However, there are generally a few standards, generally agarwood is oily from the outside to the inside, and Qi Nan is from the inside to the outside, which is why it has a stronger fragrance. The taste of raw knot sinking water Qi Nan is sweet and cool; Ripe molasses is generally golden yellow, and naturally shedding is purple mixed with gold, and the taste is spicy. There is also Qi Nan to start with warmth, with some irregular horizontal lines and S lines on it. ”
Lao Han carefully took out a small piece of Qi Nan, and let Wu Shixiang experience it as he spoke, "Qi Nan has a very soft texture, so in addition to raw incense, no one will go to the rider's string or carving, it is too waste, it is easy to wear, and it is all made of natural art ornaments." ”
"Brother Han, how much can this worm-eyed root carving be sold for?" The second marshal asked.
"This? Last year, there was a Fujian man who offered 800,000 yuan to sell, and I was not willing to give up, and estimated that 1 million would be no problem. ”
Wu Shixiang agreed, the root carving is huge, the shape is domineering, and there is the fragrance of agarwood, which definitely has face in the living room, and one million is not expensive.
"The most accurate is to use incense to identify the species of Qinan, the first fragrance of raw knots is a clear fragrance, a little sweet in the cool, and some have the taste of baked cakes; Honey knot is a wheat flavor of milk; The flavor of insect leakage is the most complex, some are roasted sweet potato flavors, and there are also red date syrup flavors, and what coconut milk flavors are, each of which is different. ”
Wu Shixiang and Er Shuai are really eye-opening, a small piece of agarwood is so profound, it seems to open a new field. Wu Shixiang couldn't let go of the opportunity, kept picking up all kinds of agarwood, distinguishing them carefully, and trying to remember some flavors as much as possible.
"It's not easy for you to come once, let's also fall in love, let you see my most proud baby today, Lightning Strike Qi Nan!"
Lao Han is happy, Wu Shixiang is young, but his taste is very good, and he is also modest, and he is very popular. It is rare to come from afar, and it will be a long-term cooperation in the future, so I will take out the secret treasure and let the younger generations open their eyes.
"Lightning Strike Qi Nan?" Wu Shixiang and Er Shuai glanced at each other, did Lao Han also have it? Quickly follow him to the safe.
Lao Han opened the safe, cherished a piece of black agarwood seven or eight centimeters long and two or three centimeters wide, carefully held it in the palm of his hand, and said proudly: "This is my most proud baby, full of oil and water Qi Nanxiang!" ”
Wu Shixiang and Er Shuai took a closer look, and first a familiar fragrance came, which was somewhat similar to the taste in their hands. However, the oiliness is still poor, but the surface jade is a thin layer, or a wooden structure, a little disappointed.
"How?" Lao Han looked disappointed at the two of them, and said with a smile: "You still don't know the goods!" Don't look at this little guy as inconspicuous, it's definitely the best oily Qi Nan I've ever seen, and there's a story to tell. ”
Wu Shixiang thought to himself, you haven't seen the treasure in my hand, and I want to throw it away when I see you! But he still cooperated, and waited for Lao Han to tell the story with a curious face.
"Once I went to the mountains to collect incense, came back just when it was raining heavily, when I was looking for a place to shelter from the rain, I accidentally found an old agarwood, half of it was scorched by lightning, and the ghost sent me to find this small piece of Qi Nan incense in the center of the tree. Isn't it special that you smell it carefully? ”
Wu Shixiang took it, sniffed it carefully for a while, nodded and said, "It's different from others, it has a stronger flavor than others." ”
"That's it! Mainly after lightning strikes, it is difficult for trees to heal themselves, so they secrete more oiliness than ordinary wounds, and the fragrance is denser and the taste is more unique. ”
Wu Shixiang agrees with this, the piece in front of him is almost the same as in his hand, it is all generated by lightning strikes, but the year and texture are very different, there is no comparison, and it is rare.
"How much does this piece cost?"
Lao Han shook his head, carefully put Qi Nan back in the safe, and said firmly: "Don't sell it!" How much money is not sold! A lifetime of playing incense, in the end always to leave a memorial to future generations, it is estimated that I will not get a better incense than this in my life, the money is not finished, and this incense is not sold! ”
The second marshal saw Lao Han's righteous and awe-inspiring look at death, and he couldn't help but want to laugh, and said secretly: "That's because you don't have that life!" If you see the treasure in our hands, see if you sell it? ”
After the two of them visited the Lao Han collection, Wu Shixiang chose some agarwood, selected a classic one for each species, and prepared to take it back for research. Kyoto is too expensive, go downstairs to Lao Han to discuss cooperation.
"Okay, that's it, in the future, according to this price and standard to supply you Muyuanju, this time the spot will give you some discounts, a total of less than 200 grams, 160,000!"
The three of them drank tea and bargained, and finally reached an agreement for a long-term cooperation. Most of Lao Han's hands are mid-range agarwood, and the price of one gram ranges from 300 to more than 1,000. Wu Shixiang finally chose more than 800 prices, which were above average. You can transform the oiliness yourself, and it should be a high-quality product after 100% improvement, and the profit margin is very large.
"You have to remember that agarwood can't just look at the number of grams to determine the price, shape, fragrance, size are important reference factors! The price difference between a piece of 100 grams of submerged water and 200 grams of submerged water is not only doubled, but at least three times or even more than five times. Therefore, it is necessary to comprehensively consider all factors, determine the unit price per gram, and then calculate the number of grams. ”
As soon as Lao Han saw that the deal was completed, he had a big customer in the future, and he happily passed on more experience to Wu Shixiang. He sells agarwood well, so he can make more money, and he also understands the strong strength of Mu Yuanju. Otherwise, it will not be so attentive to hospitality, and the two sides will have cooperation projects in the future.
Wu Shixiang left the warehouse address to Lao Han and asked him to send incense wood tomorrow, and when he went back, he quickly collected energy values and transformed and tested the effect of agarwood.
Haihuang material is too expensive, and the quantity is also small, he has tried to use it as long as it is huanghuali material. What large-leaved yellow pear, small leaf yellow pear, African yellow pear, etc. What Xiaowuji has in the market is that the energy value is less, but the quantity is large and the price is low, just buy more materials.
This trip to Hainan is really full of returns, contact the fixed suppliers of Haihuang and agarwood, find out the raw material market, and save a lot of worry in the future. The biggest harvest is still the three pieces of treasure Qi Nan, Wu Shixiang is really looking forward to what they will become if they are transformed again?
