Chapter 120: Great Value

Master Wang and Ah Tao rode away. Master Wang still has to go back to work, and Ah Tao still wants to rush to determine the matter of the house again. Master Wang, who was leaving, said hello, Xiao Li, if you really like such old furniture, I can help you contact it.

The large old house is full of dilapidated furniture, leaving only Li Zhendong and Liu Ping. Li Zhendong's face was full of excitement, and he couldn't hide it anymore, and grabbed Liu Ping's little hand and shook it, "Get rich, we get rich." Liu Ping was like a thunderbolt, where did he think that the little ghost would have such an action? Suddenly, his hand was tightly held by the little ghost's head, and suddenly, a charming pink face was as red as a glow, and his head was lowered, and he didn't dare to look at Li Zhendong at all, and there was only one thought in his heart: The little ghost head was holding my hand! Liu Ping didn't shake his hand hard to break away, but let the little ghost pull it.

Li Zhendong jumped a few times, but he didn't see the girl next to him reacting, and raised his eyes sideways. Liu Ping lowered her head and looked shy, her pale pink face was as red as rouge, and she was still holding the hand of the girl tightly. It seemed a little inappropriate, Li Zhendong hurriedly let go, "I'm sorry, I'm embarrassed, I'm excited." Salivating again, "Liu Ping, I made a mistake with this hand, you see, I will punish it", saying that Li Zhendong used his left hand to snap and gently hit his right hand twice. Liu Ping puffed and laughed, the little ghost is so cunning, is this a punishment? Seeing Liu Ping's smiling face like a flower, Li Zhendong breathed a sigh of relief, Liu Ping was not angry. I was so excited for a moment that I got a little carried away.

After laughing for a while, Liu Ping remembered what the little ghost had said just now. "Are these shabby pieces of furniture worth a lot?" Liu Ping looked at Li Zhendong with a pair of apricot eyes full of surprise. I've known the little ghost head for so long, except for beating someone in the restaurant that night, I have never seen the little ghost's mood fluctuate at other times, and he said "got rich" so excitedly just now, it must be very valuable. However, Master Wang clearly said that it was not worth it when he appraised it earlier! Standing beside the little ghost, he could hear it clearly. Could it be that Master Wang is wrong? Is there a lot of valuable furniture in it? The little imp must have found something amazing!

"It's not worth it!" Li Zhendong replied crisply. Not worth it? This answer was too unexpected for Liu Ping. It's worthless, why are you so excited? Also, holding someone's hand, Liu Ping flashed a thought in her heart with shame, didn't the little ghost take the opportunity to deliberately pull my hand, right?

Seeing Liu Ping's beautiful eyes, she looked at herself brightly. Li Zhendong Yile "It's not worth it now, give it to ordinary people, and ordinary people don't want it." Worth it later, it's worth it! ”。“ How do you know the way? Of course Liu Ping didn't believe it. Of course, I know that these old furniture can be kept for twenty or thirty years, and you will not have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of your life" Li Zhendong added in his heart, because I came back from the afterlife.

In fact, Li Zhendong invited someone to come definitely not for appraisal, but simply to know what kind of wood his furniture was. How to distinguish between these woods, Li Zhendong only understands so many kinds, and he doesn't understand the precious wood. But the price of precious timber in later generations, Li Zhendong is very clear. Because I have searched for information.

There is no need to estimate the price in this era, and Li Zhendong also knows that it is not worth much now!

Li Zhendong remembered some past events in his mind. In the 60s, the Chinese country launched a movement to break the four olds, and the raiding of homes was prevalent. Much of the hardwood furniture was destroyed at the time. There are many more that are concentrated by the state. After the reform and opening up, many families implemented policies and re-returned houses, furniture, and various utensils. After one or two decades of economic turmoil, life is in the most basic stage of filling the stomach, and few people in China realize the value of these hardwood old-fashioned furniture, and because of the embarrassment of life, many people would rather sell the furniture for money. It was also during this period in the early eighties that hardwood furniture was sold at low prices. A four-headed official hat chair made of Huanghuali in the Ming Dynasty costs less than 100 yuan, and the buyer is too expensive, and the three-door cabinet only costs a few hundred yuan, etc. There are not many people who buy it, and there are not many people in China who have money!

Slowly, people overseas took a fancy to this opportunity. Many people came back from overseas provinces and found this kind of well-crafted old furniture of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and the price was very low. The news spread overseas, and at that time, people overseas were economically superior, and more and more people knew the news. At the beginning of the reform and opening up, due to political reasons, not many people had come into contact with or resell this. After the mid-80s, people overseas found that China's politics tended to be enlightened and stable. Began large-scale acquisition of old-fashioned hardwood furniture in China. Many of these overseas buyers are overseas Chinese or people who have studied Chinese culture. From this time on, the price of old furniture in the Ming and Qing dynasties began to soar. For example, if a Huanghuali chair is now counted as 80 yuan, by 1986 the domestic price will be 3,000 yuan, and if it is sold overseas, overseas buyers will pay 5,000 or 6,000 yuan, and in 2,000 years it will cost hundreds of thousands of chairs. The price of this kind of price rise is so fast that no one can predict it, and the price of antique Ming and Qing furniture in the red sandalwood and huanghuali is higher than that of gold.

The old-fashioned furniture materials of the Ming and Qing dynasties, such as huanghuali, red sandalwood, old wenge, etc., were almost exhausted at that time, so what was the price of huanghuali wood in later generations?

The scientific name of Huanghuali is Sandalwood. In the seventies it was a dime to two dimes per kilogram. In the early eighties, it was really worthless, just a few dimes a pound, chopped up and used for medicine, and huanghuali crumbs could be used for medicinal purposes. Eight or six years later, with the rise in the price of old furniture in Huanghuali, the price of Huanghuali wood rose. By the early nineties, it had already begun to skyrocket. During this period of time, China continued to purchase and use Huanghuali wood. After 97 years, the source of Huanghuali in the South China Sea was very small.

The price in ninety-seven years has been almost 100,000 tons, and the old material is more than 200,000. In the most ferocious era of speculation, the price of one ton of large, good, and relatively complete old materials was more than 25 million yuan. The price of new materials has also been speculated to 9,000 yuan a kilogram, and a ton is 9 million yuan. It can be called the most expensive wood in the world.

Therefore, Li Zhendong looked at the dilapidated furniture in the room, don't look at the tattered, after ten or twenty years of these good wood, a stick leg will be thousands or tens of thousands. These are antique furniture! Back in this era, any pile of rotten furniture is a treasure in the future generations! What's more, there is still good furniture in it.

No hurry! No hurry! There's still plenty of time left for me. Li Zhendong had a bright smile on his face, and now it hasn't been eight or three years. With his current financial resources, Li Zhendong feels that he can get a lot of old furniture no matter what. Rather than having overseas buyers take the artworks from the mainland, it is better to buy them in large quantities yourself.

Liu Ping didn't know where the little ghost came from this kind of confidence, but looking at the extreme confidence on the little ghost's face, Liu Ping believed it in her heart.
