After Lin Meiru finished speaking, she continued: "In a sense, it is also an antique, and the price is not cheap, after the agarwood tree begins to bear incense due to disease, it will go through a long growth period, at least a few years to more than ten years, but it takes decades or even hundreds of years for a high-quality agarwood to form." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info//High-speed update//Therefore, the output of agarwood is very small, but the market demand is very large, which shows that agarwood is very precious and has a high collection value.
In recent years, the transaction rate of agarwood auctions is relatively high, and the transaction price is often several times or even dozens of times the estimated price. The auction price of a gram of agarwood ranged from 1,000 yuan to tens of thousands of yuan, and the highest price once exceeded 10,000 US dollars. It is reported that Vietnam, which is rich in agarwood in the world, produced only 18 kilograms of high-quality agarwood last year. In the auction market, international auction companies such as Sotheby's and Christie's have launched agarwood, while domestic Hanhai, Guardian and Gu Tianyi have successfully launched the auction of agarwood artworks and incense cultural artworks, among which Yanjing Gu Tianyi International Auction Company has achieved a 100% turnover rate in many agarwood auctions since 2006. ”
Li Tianbao's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he said: "It turns out that this wood is also so valuable, and I will get a piece of it when I have the opportunity in the future." ”
"Agarwood is not the most valuable wood, it is Qi Nan who is valuable." After Lin Meiru finished speaking, she walked towards her shop without waiting for Li Tianbao to ask.
Li Tianbao thought to himself, "Stinky girl, don't tell me what's going on with Qi Nan." ”
…………
returned to his "Fengyuan Hall", as soon as he entered the door, he saw Wang Fang and Park Hanlong lying on the counter with their heads bowed in the counter, while Xu Fei was holding Xiaomei and talking, but obviously there was something wrong with the bullying, Li Tianbao immediately felt that they must have something on their minds.
Li Tianbao coughed deliberately and said, "Everyone knows that I am back, and they don't greet me." ”
Xu Fei deliberately glanced at Wang Fang, Wang Fang walked out of the store with a smile this time, and said with a smile: "Brother Bao is back, I'm so happy, we heard that you got a lot of good things." ”
Park Hanlong also came over and said, "Brother Bao, do it quickly." After speaking, he turned around and poured tea for Li Tianbao.
"Hey, Tieguanyin, my favorite." Li Tianbao held the teacup, then looked at the listless appearance of several people, and hurriedly said: "What's the matter, they are all listless, let me guess, has there been nothing sold during this time?" ”
Wang Fang lowered his head and said, "Brother Bao, the things in our store may be too high-end, so not a single thing has been sold during the time you left." ”
Li Tianbao got up with the teacup and said: "Silly girl, you don't have to do this if you can't sell it, don't I have half a month now, any small piece here can be sold for hundreds of thousands, as long as you sell one, you can pick up the fee for a year." ”
Li Tianbao said so, but he was not very happy in his heart, after all, his business was not good, but he still had to comfort these brothers and sisters who followed him.
Don't think about it so much, by the way, I remember that the rent for the second half of the year is going to be collected, and I will collect the rent in a while, and there should be hundreds of thousands. Take it back, and I'll treat everyone to dinner.
Li Tianbao was about to go out after speaking, but found that there seemed to be one less person in the house, so he hurriedly asked, "Why is Wang Xiaoyu not there?" ”
Seeing that several people didn't speak, Li Tianbao understood what the people were listless for, something must have happened to Wang Xiaoyu, Li Tianbao hurriedly said: "What happened?" ”
Wang Fang instantly shed tears, Li Tianbao frowned and walked over to comfort: "Don't cry, my Li Tianbao's store doesn't raise the master who can only shed tears, tell me, what happened." ”
"Xiaoyu was taken away." Wang Fang said.
"Taken away? What do you mean? Li Tianbao wondered.
After Wang Fang finished telling what happened, Li Tianbao shouted: "Damn, dare to touch my brother, I can't spare that tomboy." ”
It turned out that just a week or so after Li Tianbao left, a very mysterious person took down a shop on the left side of "Fengyuan Hall" and opened it called "Jiaqi Pavilion", doing business and Li Tianbao's shop is the same jade jewelry, and it is a big deal, jade, diamond, red sapphire, Hetian jade, ......, in short, everything.
Originally, Wang Xiaoyu and Wang Fang also sold more than three gemstone jewelry a few days ago, but since the store opened, several customers have returned their things one after another, and after the reason, people said, "The things in Jiaqi Pavilion next to it are half cheaper than your house here."
Wang Xiaoyu's temper closely follows Li Tianbao, so naturally he can't return it, but Wang Fang still returned the money to them in order not to affect the reputation that Fengyuantang had earned so hard.
But Wang Xiaoyu thought about it and felt that someone was deliberately making trouble behind the scenes, and the purpose was of course to bring down Fengyuan Hall, so he came to the door. Wang Fang didn't go there because there was no one in the store at the time, but an hour later, Wang Xiaoyu came back disgraced. took a few clothes and was taken away by a woman, Wang Fang stepped forward to ask him and didn't speak, and said to Wang Fang, "When Brother Bao comes back, don't tell him, it's too embarrassing." ”
"Damn, it's really a house leak that happened to rain overnight, how could there be another competitor." Li Tianbao was puzzled in his heart, but what was even more strange to him was how Wang Xiaoyu was taken away, where was he and what happened?
"I'm going to see who is so good, dare to know that I can't get along with the master." After Li Tianbao finished speaking, he walked out alone without waiting for Xu Fei and Wang Fang's instructions.
Walking out of the door and looking up to the left, looking at the signboard of the store, Li Tianbao couldn't help but feel excited. He didn't expect that the billboard more than two meters long was actually made of pure gold, and the three big characters "Jiaqi Pavilion" on it immediately reminded Li Tianbao of Zhang Jiaqi.
", it must be that tomboy." Thinking about it, Li Tianbao pushed the door directly and entered.
The decoration of the store made Li Tianbao's eyes light up instantly, and the golden splendor was like a small palace, which really made Li Tianbao a little envious.
"Li Tianbao, why are you here?" Zhang Jiashao said with a full face of spring.
Li Tianbao saw Zhang Jiashao surrounded by several clerks in the store and said loudly: "I guess it's you kid, change my brother, do you still want me to break your other leg." ”
The Zhang family was about to come towards him when he saw Li Tianbao's eyebrows coldly, so frightened that he hurriedly pushed two steps back, but his foot injury was just right, and he almost fell to the ground unsteadily, but fortunately, a female clerk next to him was pulled by a wind-scratching clerk.
One of the girls said, "Young Master, who is he, why are you so afraid of him?" ”
Zhang Jiashao touched the girl's pretty face and said: "I can be afraid of him, but this kid is a bastard, I just don't want to mess with him, I'm the young master of a big family." ”
"Let your mother force a big family, I'll fucking whip you." After Li Tianbao finished speaking, he really walked up to Zhang Jiashao, and had already raised his hand high above his head.
Zhang Jiashao hurriedly said: "Don't fight, I didn't touch your people, I'm talking about this shop and it's not mine." ”
"Not yours?" Li Tianbao slowly lowered his arm and said, "Then whose store is it?" ”
"My sister's, Zhang Jiaqi, have you forgotten?" Zhang Jiashao said with a smile.
"Grass, it turned out to be that tomboy." Li Tianbao said with disdain on his face.
Less than a second after Li Tianbao's words were finished, he heard a familiar voice beside him say: "I won't care about you if you call me a tomboy, you should always remove the word 'grass' in front of me." ”
With such an arrogant tone, Li Tianbao didn't need to guess to know that it was Zhang Jiaqi. He didn't look back and said directly: "I don't want to talk nonsense with you, hand over my brother, otherwise I will overturn your shabby shop for you." ”
"What a big breath" Zhang Jiaqi said: "That guy named Wang Xiaoyu is making trouble in my store, he is willing to gamble and lose, so he came here to be a young man for two months." ”
"Willing to gamble and lose, is he comparing 'gambling stones' with you?" Li Tianbao asked.
Zhang Jiaqi glanced at Li Tianbao, and then said: "It's almost, but it's not a gambling stone, but a gambling appraisal." ”
Li Tianbao originally thought that Zhang Jiaqi and Wang Xiaoyu were playing gambling stones, but now when he heard that it was a gambling appraisal, he immediately became curious: "What do you mean?" ”
Zhang Jiaqi laughed and said: "Li Tianbao, although you haven't been on this street for long, you can be regarded as showing off here, don't you understand 'identification'." ”
"Nonsense, of course I know about 'identification', but what kind of gambling do you say?" Li Tianbao said loudly.
"Last week, that Wang Xiaoyu in your store came to me to make trouble, I said that you have the ability to gamble with me, if you can win the bet against me, then I will close the store immediately, and if you lose, your store will be closed. He said at the time that you can't be the master if you don't have him, so we agreed that if he loses, he will stay in my shop and be a young man for a month. I asked him what he was doing, and he said Hetian Yu, so I took this out at the time. ”
After Zhang Jiaqi finished speaking, he took out a jade cicada of Hetian jade from his arms and put it in front of Li Tianbao's eyes.
"Good thing," Li Tianbao said suddenly in his heart.
Look at the jade cicada of Hetian jade in Zhang Jiaqi's hand with a knife is extremely concise, but it does not lose its beauty, it is the master's technique at a glance, of course, other laymen Li Tianbao can't think of a reason.
"That Wang Xiaoyu's appraisal said that this is a modern work, carved by a master, and at that time I really doubted that the people who were so rubbish in your shop could make your shop so prosperous on this street."
Li Tianbao naturally heard Zhang Jiaqi's disdainful tone, and said loudly: "If you have something to say, don't refer to Sang scolding Huai." ”
After hearing this, Zhang Jiaqi said with a smile: "This jade cicada is a typical Han Eight Knife craft!" ”
"Han Badao?" Li Tianbao heard this word, and suddenly felt that he had heard it somewhere, but he couldn't remember how to think about it.
Zhang Jiaqi continued: "The meaning of the Han Eight Knife is to carve a small artifact vividly and extraordinarily with an extremely concise few knives, which is a typical jade carving process of the Han Dynasty. ”
Li Tianbao thought to himself, "Damn, teach him, I won't know." Fortunately, you didn't use this to test me, otherwise the master would have been really asked by you. ”
After thinking about it, Li Tianbao said with a smile: "My brother is the store manager, and he rarely identifies in person, so of course he doesn't need to be so professional." ”
