Throwing down the phone and looking at the dark night outside the window, Li Yi cursed in his heart, nnd, damn the bird to the sky, immortal for thousands of years! He is not a compassionate hero, so why should he be burdened with such unbearable things? If you get angry, I'll kill you!

It's decided, Lao Tzu doesn't care, I'll set off tomorrow and gamble on wood!

Having said that, he still called Wang Haoqing, and now, it seems that only this buddy can help him.

After listening to Li Yi's narration quietly, the corners of Wang Haoqing's mouth provoked a smile,

"I see, since he's thinking this way, hehe, it's really not a big deal! Oh, dog-eat-dog-hair, I'm really looking forward to it after you say that......"

Li Yi rolled his eyes, yes, it's not a big deal to watch the excitement! However, Wang Haoqing's relaxation is obviously more able to affect his feelings, perhaps, is it really that he thinks things too complicated?

Early the next morning, the three of them took a flight from China Southern Airlines and flew directly to Coconut City. On the plane, thinking of the strange cool air in the demon eyes, Li Yi's heart swelled with a trace of hope, will there be any of these woods? If there is, is it also called so-and-so? So, is it the eye of the tree or the eye of the tree?

After checking in to the hotel, Gu Feng went out alone. He first went to the car rental company he had contacted in advance and rented a seven-seater off-road car with a five-seater, and then went around Coconut City. After returning to the hotel, I directly found Zheng Shusen and Li Yi, who were holding a coconut and sucking juice.

"Brother Yi, I've seen it, there are four big timber markets here, one is state-run and one is private, the remaining one is mixed with stone, and the other is an old timber market. All four places can bet on wood, but the private sector has the largest market. ”

Zheng Shusen asked curiously:

"So many places to gamble? Is there so much sea yellow? ”

Gu Feng shook his head, in these places, only the private market is dominated by Hainan Huanghuali and Vietnamese Huanghuali, and the others are betting on all kinds of mahogany.

All kinds of mahogany? Zheng Shusen shook his head painfully, mahogany is divided into two families, five genera, and eight categories, a total of thirty-three kinds, if you want to distinguish these tree species one by one, I am afraid that it will take a year and a half of work, not to mention gambling.

Like them, they are just here to play, but now that you have made so many varieties at once, don't you want them to be embarrassed? When the time comes, I can't recognize it, I don't even dare to open the cavity, and I still bet on it?

Li Yi nodded indifferently, the perspective distance of 16 centimeters was enough for him to despise all the merchants and professional buyers who gambled on wood, and it was enough to despise about 95 percent of the mahogany.

The reason why there is still five percent is not guaranteed is because of the characteristics of mahogany.

Mahogany plants such as red sandalwood, yellow pear, and sour branch wood, not the whole tree can be called mahogany, but only the part of the heart of the tree that has been impregnated and changed color can be called mahogany, and the other parts are similar to ordinary wood, which is of little value, which is what wood traders often call heartwood and sapwood.

Heartwood is the equivalent of sapwood, and it refers to the part of perennial wood that is significantly darker in color near its center and is very different from the white sapwood around it. This part of the furniture made of colored wood can be called mahogany furniture.

Mahogany is the heartwood, therefore, the gambling wood is the heartwood.

Heartwood is gradually transformed from sapwood, in which there is no longer the storage of living cells, nor does it assume the function of transporting sap and storing nutrients, it mainly plays a supporting role in the whole plant. Therefore, the heartwood is generally harder and denser than the sapwood, and the water content is also less, especially because it has been infiltrated by various substances, so it is not easy to perish.

Rosewood, rosewood, incense sticks and other mahogany are collectively called mahogany because the cell walls of the dead cells in their heartwood are infiltrated with some red or purple pigments, so that the whole heartwood shows a series of near-reds such as light reddish-brown to black-brown.

Because the heartwood is infiltrated by some substances to change the color, and this infiltration can not be an average storage zài, plus the heartwood is surrounded by the sapwood on the periphery of the tree, if it is not opened, it is impossible to know the specific situation of the heartwood inside, can only be judged according to the appearance of the wood, the weight and other numbers jù, to bet, so there is a bet on the wood.

The part that is more completely infiltrated, which is what we often call the part with better wax or oil. The incomplete part of the soaking, because its substance is not much different from the sapwood, is not only light in color but also perishable, so gambling wood merchants generally call it hollow.

Gambling on wood is to bet on the more or less of the part that is completely infiltrated in the heartwood, in other words, it is also betting on the void.

Before a mahogany is opened, it can only be observed and guessed from the two sections of the head and tail, so the risk of gambling on the wood is still relatively large.

However, unlike gambling stones, the proportion of infiltration and cavity of each type of mahogany is basically fixed within a certain range according to its growth characteristics. Under normal circumstances, there will not be too much deviation, so the difficulty of gambling wood is far less than that of gambling stones.

Moreover, the characteristics of the log also determine that it cannot be the same as the wool, and there will be a situation where there is not even a trace of slag left in a single knife.

That is to say, even if it is a loss, it is only a loss on the quality and quantity of the mahogany part of it, and it will not be like a gamble on a stone that has no jadeite wool at all.

Unless you're a fool, the wood you're betting on isn't mahogany at all!

In addition, just like gambling on stones, gambling on wood requires not only wax, but also wood grain.

Mahogany with a beautiful wood grain is like a jade with a beautiful color, and its value is much higher than that of mahogany with a normal wood grain or not yet fully formed. The wax is like the seed water of jadeite, the deeper the infiltration, the more oily it is, and the higher its value.

Therefore, although compared with gambling stones, the difficulty of gambling wood has decreased significantly, but for those merchants who gamble on wood, the risks are not known.

Especially after so many years of logging, the old wood is almost endangered, and the new wood is like the jade of the new pit, not only the quality is worse, but its internal situation has become more difficult to measure because of the lack of growth years.

"Brother Yi, we came here to gamble on wood this time, do you want to make bracelets, beads and other playthings or do you want to make furniture?"

After Gu Feng finished introducing the situation, he asked again.

Li Yi raised his eyebrows, is there a difference?

"Yes, if you want furniture, you have to make some big materials, and as far as I know, the size of the whole log should be at least 50 centimeters. And here in Coconut City, and even in the whole of Hainan, most of them are small materials, if you want to make furniture, I am afraid that you will have to go to Vietnam. ”

Li Yi nodded noncommittally, he came here mainly to see if there was any mahogany containing cool air. If not, naturally, if there is, I am afraid that I will have to go to the origin of the wood, and when the time comes, not to mention Vietnam, Africa may pass.

"That's it, it's not appropriate to go over today, right? Why don't we go to the beach? ”

Zheng Shusen looked at his watch and mentioned that he would go swimming in the beach, and if the time came, he would like to try diving.

The hotel they booked is not far from the seaside, and this season is not a tourist season, so they will not encounter the kind of crowded baths, so it is more appropriate to have fun.

Moreover, even if you don't go to the beach, for the first time to come to them, those pearls, corals, shells, coconut carvings, Li Jin and other Hainan specialties are also worth seeing.

In the end, the three of them agreed to go diving at the beach first, and then go shopping on the street after dinner, and buy some souvenirs to take home.

After the three of them arrived at the beach, they just caught up with a yacht that was ready to go to sea for diving and was not yet full, so without saying a word, they paid the money, received the equipment, and walked towards the yacht under the guidance of the instructor.

"Brother Yi, let's play casually today and see the situation on the seabed here. If it's fun, let's rent a boat and a few sets of diving equipment another day, and I'll take you to a deeper place, and it's better to find a local guide to see the coral reefs under the sea, wow, that's a pretty one! ”

Hearing him say this, not only Zheng Shusen, but even Li Yi was very energetic, on TV, those coral reefs are all beautiful and intoxicating, if you can go down by yourself, it will feel ......

"Don't dream, you guys, over the years, because of pollution and overexploitation of tourism resources, there are no coral reefs in the offshore waters, and there are dead reefs. To see beautiful coral reefs, dive at least 50 meters or more! If it's still this kind of simple diving props, even a professional like me can only dive to a depth of 15 meters, not to mention, even if you are equipped with professional diving props, you ......"

The coach couldn't help but slap them when he heard their hot chat, his eyes swept over Li Yi and Gu Feng, and when he saw Zheng Shusen, he shook his head slightly, these two may be able to dive twenty or thirty meters, as for you, play ten meters deep!

Li Yi and his family reported this time is a comprehensive tourism project, the whole activity contains three contents, three hours of time, including one hour of diving, one hour of afternoon tea and swimming, and one hour of coastal drive.

Because of this, the yacht they took was still relatively beautiful, with a length of more than 20 meters, two layers on the surface of the water and one layer underwater, with a beautiful streamlined silver shell, because it was still relatively new, it didn't look like a tourist company's thing, but more like a private yacht.

Several people walked onto the yacht one after another, and before Li Yi had time to look around, he heard a plop, and a big fat man trembled and fell in front of him.

"Li Yi, Li Yi, it's really not ****, they arranged it, it was all Liu Shiyuan who asked me to do it, really, I don't lie to you, I don't know anything! Don't catch me! "Mobile phone users, please visit wènhttp://mnet
