Fang Bo looked at these gloomy wooden appearances, as if he was a vicious wolf that saw a delicious meal.

Jin Muchen suddenly felt a creepy feeling when he saw it, but he could understand it if he thought about it, this old man had no children and no daughters, and he didn't have any special hobbies in his life, and the only hobby in his life was probably to do handicrafts and play with antiques.

And he seems to have an indescribable hobby for his carpentry work, although he has stopped doing it in recent years, but when he moved, Jin Muchen saw this old man, carefully put away all his carpentry tools, and moved them along with those furniture.

Now that such a good material has been discovered, the old man must be itching.

The old friend he was talking about was the chess friend he often found to play chess with others, and Jin Muchen had met him a few times before.

It was an old man about his age, who spoke with a strong Nishikawa accent, and who was usually covered with all kinds of wooden bracelets, or Buddhas.

Uncle Fang had told him before that the old man had made his fortune in China by looking for this kind of gloomy wood, but he didn't expect that the old man was quite good at creating gloomy wood furniture.

"Uncle Fang, can you two do such a big piece of wood?"

He couldn't help but ask, mainly because the two old men were old, and it wouldn't be good if they were tired.

"Why not?"

How dare you underestimate your own abilities? Fang Bo's eyes widened.

"Let me tell you, this gloomy wood is not something that ordinary people can handle, if you find those foreign devils to help you make furniture, then you can wait and cry. This kind of wood can't be processed with their chainsaws or anything. It must be carefully carved, after all, it is already a wood that has been sunk underwater, millions of years old, and the carbonization is very serious. Although it is very hard, it is also brittle and cannot be simply treated with modern techniques. The old way of dealing with this kind of wood, foreign devils do not understand, we must rely on the old craftsmanship of our Chinese. ”

As soon as Uncle Fang said this, Jin Muchen understood, no wonder Uncle Fang was so serious.

Indeed, these two pieces of wood are so precious, if you really let those foreign devils deal with them, they will not be damaged for you, and you will have no place to find someone to pay for them.

"Uncle Fang's gloomy wood furniture. Is it really that good? ”

Thinking about those legends about furniture made of gloomy wood, Jin Muchen couldn't help but ask again.

"So what do you think? Our ancestors who have played with this thing have said that there is a box of jewels at home, which is not as good as the ebony side! What do you think this is talking about? The benefits of this thing are great, and the furniture made does not attract insects, is not afraid of rot, and can also repel moisture. It's quite humid here in New York, and there are a lot of small bugs. If you make furniture out of this stuff, you don't have to worry about it at all. And do you know why ancient emperors liked to use this kind of wood to make coffins for themselves? ”

When Uncle Fang said this, he smiled, Jin Muchen was a chill.

"Gotta come along, Uncle Fang, don't talk about it. Of course I do. ”

Why do you use this thing to make a coffin, because the items placed in this thing don't rot?

Thinking about the dried corpses unearthed in China and buried in this kind of ebony coffin, Jin Muchen couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

However, if you make furniture, it is moisture-proof and corrosion-resistant. Also deworming, which is pretty good.

New York is close to the Atlantic Ocean, and Manhattan, where they are located, is surrounded by water, so the humidity is really heavy, and a lot of woolen clothes are placed in the closet, and in the wet season, they will grow hair and mold if they are not careful.

And because it is the world's largest port, the import and export throughput is large, and there is no shortage of all kinds of strange insects brought by ships from all over the world.

Unlike those cockroaches that don't bite people in China, the bed bugs here are particularly ferocious, and there are many people who like to destroy people's finances, even people dare to bite, and because there are many unknown germs they bring, it is not a joke to be bitten by those insects.

So the old house here in Manhattan, every year at a fixed time, will invite those people from the deworming company to deworm, and the method of deworming is very simple.

It's to light some special potions at home, and during this time, you will be staying in a hotel.

Anyway, the process is very troublesome, and it is also very expensive, Jin Muchen's two houses are both centuries old, so they will also face such problems.

But if this gloomy wood really has such a magic as the legend, if it is made into furniture, it will be good.

"This gloomy wood furniture is the best against insects, and I tell you, even termites won't gnaw on such wood......"

Fang Bo was still chattering about the benefits of this gloomy wooden furniture, Jin Muchen snorted in his heart, nonsense, can they gnaw on it?

This thing is almost carbonized to stone.

"I calculated the volume of your two pieces of wood, if you get it right, at least a few tons of gloomy wood planks, these materials, to make you a set of furniture, it is absolutely enough. You can even sell two sets of them, and you can have a lot of leftovers left, these leftovers, I tell you, a little processing, can become a very beautiful bracelet. Now this thing is very popular in China, the quality is good, the wood is expensive, the string is as little as a thousand, and tens of thousands are light and fluttering at every turn, so you kid is really picking up a big bargain this time! ”

What Uncle Fang said was the Tao, and at this time, Jin Muchen's mind was already a little confused, he couldn't have imagined that he would be able to bring back such a valuable treasure after going to the Great Basin National Park this time.

This is not an ordinary small development, but a big hair.

This is comparable to going to the antique market thousands of times and picking up dozens of leaks.

But this kind of thing, but it is unattainable, there is such a time, wait for the next time, but I don't know when it will be.

It seems that the Great Basin National Park really has countless national treasures, many of which are buried underground, waiting for human development.

It seems that next time if he has the opportunity, he will have to go to the capitalist wool a few times, and he has made so much money in one time, of course Jin Muchen doesn't mind going to the wool a few times.

And the Great Basin National Park is not the most famous nature reserve in the United States.

There are several national parks like this in the United States, such as the famous Yellowstone National Park, or the large bathing nature reserve in Miami.

And in the pristine deep forests of Mississippi, it seems that there are many more places worth visiting in the United States.

Jin Muchen pondered whether he should make such a treasure hunting map of a wild nature reserve after he went back, because many things that seem nothing to Americans are treasures that fall from heaven to us Chinese, and they should not be missed!

Uncle Fang looked at the timber and was reluctant, if it weren't for the fact that the conditions of this warehouse were too simple, looking at the appearance of this old man, he seemed to be eager to live here and not leave.

In the end, it was Jin Muchen who dragged the old man out of the warehouse.

By this time it was already dark outside, and as soon as they came out, they received a call from Candace asking where they were.

Jin Muchen reported the address, Candace said that she would come over immediately, Jin Muchen thought about it or forget it, so he made an appointment to meet at a hotel.

The family had a good meal in the restaurant, and then went home, but this night, Uncle Fang's interest was very high, and he drank some red wine at dinner, which was not enjoyable, and he called his old friend directly.

And his old friend, as soon as he heard that Jin Muchen had found so many good things, he couldn't sit still at home, so he drove over overnight.

The two old men didn't sleep all night, so they stayed on the first floor of Jin Muchen's new house, looking at the petrified wood, and chattering all night.

When Jin Muchen got up the next day, he saw that the old man and Uncle Fang were no longer at home, and he knew that these two must have gone to the warehouse to see the two gloomy trees.

Imagining that the two old men are really childlike, I can't help it for such a little time.

He had to make some breakfast himself, fill his stomach, and then go to the store alone.

Fang Bo didn't come back in the morning, and made a phone call at noon, but he said that he and his friends had eaten out, and now the two of them were studying how to deal with the wood and how to make furniture.

When Jin Muchen heard this, he could only smile bitterly and let them go.

Then I closed the shop, drank tea, and started surfing the Internet, but not long after I got on it, the phone rang, and I took it to see which Harvey called.

After the last time they got together at their house, the two usually kept in touch on the phone, but they hadn't seen each other for a while.

"Hey! Harvey, why did you remember to call me today? Got time? Why don't you come and sit in my house? I've been messing around with a lot of good stuff lately, haven't I? ”

Jin Muchen smiled and said to Harvey on the other end of the phone, and Harvey's laughter over there was also very hearty.

"Haha, okay, but I'm afraid it's really not going to be good lately, I'm very busy here. By the way, the main reason for calling you this time is to ask you something. ”

"Huh? What do you say? ”

Jin Muchen said casually.

"I have a few very good projects here, I don't know if you are interested in investing some money in?"

Harvey was also straight to the point, Jin Muchen here was stunned when he heard it, and it happened that he was still thinking about finding a time to discuss this matter with him recently, but he didn't expect him to call himself in advance!

"Okay, huh? What project? ”

"I can't tell you on the phone, if you have time, can you come to me? I'll explain it to you in person! (To be continued......)
