"I'll give you a big wedding, but until then, we'll go out for our honeymoon first, and we'll have a wedding after the New Year." Han Peacock assured.

Liu Wu may have been pregnant recently, so she is not interested in doing anything, and she is easily tired: "I don't care, you are responsible for telling my family." ”

"Don't worry, I have professionals at home, and I will definitely be able to handle everyone in your family."

Han Peacock thought of it, Han Dahong, who kept bragging about how much she was capable of, really relied on her mouth this time.

This time, Han Peacock really needs such a matchmaker, as long as Han Dahong helps this time, Han Peacock doesn't mind letting her take advantage of it as much as possible.

The next morning, Liu Wu did not continue to follow Han Peacock, after all, she was going abroad, and she also had a lot of things to prepare.

And today, Han Peacock is also a little busy, he wants to send Han Tianshan and Grandma Han away, and Han Ronghua is also leaving.

Han Tianshan got the Han family tree, but he didn't want to stay in the magic capital for a day, while Han Ronghua went home to meet his boyfriend.

Grandpa Han and Grandma Han, Han Peacock is not worried, before leaving, Han Peacock stuffed a card for Grandpa Han, so even if they go home, they will live well.

On the contrary, it was Han Ronghua, Han Peacock was more worried, but it was useless for him to worry, Han Ronghua was old and could already be responsible for himself, and now Han Peacock couldn't go back to his hometown to see, so he could only wait until the end of the year to go back.

After arranging his family, Han Peacock flew directly to Mysore, the three kingdoms of Afghanistan, with the four of them.

Han Xing had already come here two days ago to play the front station, so Han Peacock was not afraid of suddenly coming to a place where he was unfamiliar with life.

They are dealing with business visas. At the beginning of Han's peacock plan, let Bai Yi do it.

Mysore is a city in the southwest of the three kingdoms of Afghanistan, in the southern part of Karnataka, in the basin of the foothills of the Chamondi Mountains, with beautiful scenery, and is known as the "Three Kingdoms Park".

With a population of 1.2 million, Mysore was once the capital of the state of Mysore, with gold production nearby, cotton textile industry, rice milling, flour, cooking oil, tobacco, coffee and tea making industries, and traditional handicrafts such as silk weaving and sandalwood ware.

Han Peacock came for sandalwood, because this is the largest in the world. It is also the most important source of small-leaved red sandalwood.

"Han Xing. It's all arranged, right? "After getting off the plane, Han Xing picked them up.

Han Xing said: "It's all arranged, my classmates have all entered the target area." ”

"Did the local guide find it? No problem, right? "This is what Han Peacock is most worried about.

Han Xing said: "It's no problem at all. You don't know the way. When I first came. I'm also worried about this, but I really came here to realize that the people of the Three Kingdoms are much more honest than the people in our country. ”

"Huh? And this kind of thing? Han Peacock was a little surprised. Before he came here, he seemed to have heard that there were people in the Three Kingdoms who were forced, raped, burned, and corpsed, and felt very chaotic.

"It's true, while there are some people who commit petty theft, but those are a tiny minority compared to the majority of people." Han Xing said.

After Han Xing received the six Han Peacocks, he walked out of the waiting hall directly and came to the parking lot outside.

"I have registered an art company here, and I have obtained the qualification for the import and export of artworks, and if we have any gains, we can completely ship them into China." Han Xing said.

"So fast?" Han Peacock felt weird again.

Han Xing said: "Mysore's business is very developed, and the business and finance of the three countries are more developed, as long as you abide by the rules, it is still easy to do something, but if you want to go the wrong way, it will be even more difficult." ”

Han Xing told Han Peacock about some of what he had seen and heard since he came to Ah Sanguo, and everyone on the earth knew that Ah Sanguo was backward, except for Ah San himself, who pretended to be confused.

But in the international financial circles, including the Martians, everyone knows that there is one thing that the three countries are decades ahead of China - their financial system! Probably because of the British lineage, they really know how to do it.

At present, many Chinese companies have made their fortunes by tax evasion in China, and when they go to the three countries to do business, they find it difficult to work.

The three countries have long implemented the real-name deposit system, and the circulation of large sums of money is realized through banks, and foreigners cannot open accounts in the three countries unless you register a company.

When paying bills, almost all of the large accounts are paid by card, and if they exceed 2,000 yuan in RMB, they will pay the bill by check or card, of course, in some slums, you ask those poor people who pick up rotten vegetable leaves to eat to get a card, which is unrealistic.

After Han Xing came, in order to facilitate large transactions, he registered a company, and in order to deal with the frequent water and power outages in the three countries, companies and people with a little bit of strength will be equipped with a diesel generator and several water tanks, or refrigerators.

And once Han Xing went to buy a refrigerator, 12,000 rupees, and when he paid the money, he looked at the banknotes and they didn't accept them!

Say you can only accept checks and credit cards!

Han Xing was emotional and reasonable, telling her that we were helping her evade taxes and increase their income, and told her that we are international friends, and everyone should take care of them more, but she refused to live or die, and finally spent time to change the check for her.

Perhaps because of religious beliefs, the moral quality of the Asan is generally higher than that of the Chinese people, which is a strange fact, of course, only the moral quality.

Probably because after believing in a religion, they have to memorize the scriptures and dogmas and canons in the church since they were young, which is estimated to be similar to the Chinese "Analects", which can lead to a positive outlook on life and play a subtle role in people's thinking and morality.

Therefore, although there are so many poor people, and idlers who have nothing to do, they wander the streets every day, and there are so many begging people that they fly like flies, and millions of slums are scattered around the major cities.

But there are very few incidents of law and order here, and even theft is rare! If this is the case in China, not to mention that there are people everywhere who are encouraged to use knives to cut people, it is estimated that even the city government building will serve it to these people.

It can be said that the Three Kingdoms of Afghanistan is definitely a wonderful country.

"People here are so honest?" Han Peacock was still a little incredulous.

Han Xing affirmed: "It's more honest than we imagined." Of course, there are honest people and bad people everywhere, so according to your orders, big brother, we are looking for people from some remote areas.

Those people, very obedient and very trustworthy, can help us find what we need. ”

"What about translation?" Although Han Peacock has never been to the Three Kingdoms, he still knows the truth. The three countries are multi-ethnic.

Han Xing said: "I've found it." They are all Agarians with some Chinese ancestry. ”

The plush said strangely: "There are also Chinese among the people of the Three Kingdoms? ”

Han Xing said: "Of course there are, and there are quite a few, the ethnicity of the three countries is divided into six main types: Negros, primitive Australians, Chinese, Mongolians, Mediterraneans, Dinara and indigenous people of the three countries, with blacks accounting for about 30%.

There are about 300,000 to 500,000 Chinese in the three countries. Most of them were Chinese who went to Mumbai and other places to do business before 1949. After 1962, the Chinese lost their right to vote in the three countries and became second-class citizens. Schooling, doing business, and working are all subject to strict restrictions and scrutiny.

The situation of the Chinese in the three countries has improved in recent years, but the vast majority of them are from the bottom of the social ladder and do not have as much economic influence as in Southeast Asian countries. Most of them also have the names of the Three Kingdoms, which can only be said to be of Chinese blood in their blood, but they are actually from the Three Kingdoms.

So there aren't many people who can speak Chinese, but there are always some translators, and some translators followed my classmates to the mountains, and there were two translators here, a man and a woman.

One is of mixed Chinese and Indian descent, a girl, you will see her when you get to the hotel, and the other is an overseas Chinese, named Qin Long, who is now a part-time driver for us, and you can see her when you go out. ”

Qin Long is a clear-eyed boy who is only 18 years old this year, but he has been working outside for several years, and because he can understand most of the local languages, he often works as a translator for domestic tour groups that come here.

"You see, over there is the Mysore Palace, which is one of the largest palaces in the Three Kingdoms, originally built in 1897, and its building is said to be modeled after the Buckingham Palace in the United Kingdom, and if it is at night, it is even more beautiful and looks very spectacular." Qin Long pointed to a long row of building roads.

Han Peacock looked out the window, this palace was indeed brilliant, and the outer layer of some of the dome roofs was covered with gold, shining brightly, and it was exceptionally beautiful.

There are huge round arches and neatly arranged colonnades, all decorated with colorful patterns and classical motifs, and the roof corner tower construction is exquisite and elegant.

Qin Long said: "The palace is full of sculptures and exquisite murals, and at present, only part of the palace is open for tourists, and after 19:00 on Sundays, the whole palace is decorated with brilliant lights, which is very spectacular. ”

"Wait, I'd like to see a good thing, park the car in front." Han Peacock sat in the car, looking at the scenery outside the window, on a street where people came and went, he saw a small stall, and on a small stall, there was an unusually conspicuous thing that flashed in front of his eyes.

Qin Long found a parking space on the side of the street, parked the car, and Han Peacock said to Liu Wu: "Are you tired?" If you're tired, just wait here for a while, I'll go over there and have a look, and if it's gone, we'll go to the hotel immediately. ”

Liu Wu said: "I'm not tired, I'll go down and take a look, what do you see?" ”

Han Peacock smiled: "I seem to have seen a general jar, and it is very rare to be able to see a general jar in the Three Kingdoms." ”

Qin Long said at this time: "This is not unusual, there are all mahogany products sold over there, what you see should be mahogany products, the mahogany here is exported to our country more, and the sandalwood carving in Mysore is very famous, so it is very common to see some artworks with Chinese style here." ”

Han Peacock soon walked to a stall, there are many stalls here, most of them sell local art, and only one stall has a Chinese style of mahogany products, that is, the general jar that Han Peacock said.

This general jar is also made of mahogany, so Han Peacock will be curious.

You must know that the diameter of this general jar is more than 30 centimeters, and such a large general jar, if it is made of small leaf red sandalwood, it must be carved with real old material, and the new material is not so thick for a short time.

Han Peacock walked into the booth and looked more and more carefully.

His eyesight is really good. He was able to see this general jar in the car, which was enough to show how conspicuous this general jar was.

"Qin Long, you ask, can I pick it up and take a look?" Han Peacock said to Qin Long.

Surprisingly, Qin Long used English, and the Indian man who set up the stall could also talk to Qin Long in English proficiently, and at this time, Han Peacock thought that English was the second official language of the three countries.

Since speaking English. Han Peacock himself can do it. So he understood the stall owner's language, and immediately picked up the general's jar.

Han Peacock looked at it carefully and found no seams, which means that it was carved with a whole piece of wood at this time.

And this piece of material is indeed extraordinary. This general jar is undoubtedly carved from small-leaved red sandalwood. But the lines exposed by this general's jar. However, it is different from the cow hair pattern of ordinary small-leaved red sandalwood, and the water ripples at this time.

Seeing this, Han Peacock already knew it. He didn't speak himself, but said to Qin Long: "You ask, I like this general's jar very much, ask him how much money he can sell." ”

Qin Long asked a few words, and immediately turned to Han Peacock and said, "Mr. Han, this gentleman said that it can't be less than one million rupees. ”

"A million rupees?" Han Peacock was a little surprised, after all, this is in a small stall, and the price of one million rupees should be amazing.

Qin Long immediately said: "It is equivalent to about 100,000 yuan, and the ratio of RMB to rupees is almost one to ten." ”

"100,000 is too expensive, you ask him if he can reduce the price, if it's 500,000 rupees, I'll ask for it." Although Han Peacock liked it very much, he still instinctively began to bargain.

Qin Long said: "Mr. Han, he said that the price cannot be reduced, this is his family's ancestral thing, and a million rupees is not expensive." ”

"You ask, has he been setting up a stall here for a long time, and no one is willing to pay such a high price to buy it?" Han Peacock said.

After a while, Qin Long said: "He said, this is what he just put out, if it weren't for the urgent use at home, this kind of ancestral thing, he wouldn't take it out and sell it, this small market, trading here is only allowed at six o'clock in the evening, and now it's only six twenty o'clock, maybe this stall owner didn't deceive people." ”

Han Peacock said: "You tell him, 800,000 rupees, I don't want any more." ”

The price of small leaf red sandalwood is obvious, although this general tank is very large, but after all, it does not have much weight, so it can be sold for 80,000 yuan is already a high price.

Of course, this is considered a high price in the Three Kingdoms, such a small leaf red sandalwood general jar, if it appears in China, it will definitely be robbed, even if it is such a large ordinary small leaf red sandalwood general jar, it will not be able to buy it without three or five hundred thousand, let alone this.

Therefore, many people are keen on international trade, mainly because the values of foreigners are very different from those of Chinese people, so it is easier to pick up leaks.

Qin Long said: "Mr. Han, he bid 900,000 rupees and said that it can't be lower, and I can see it, it seems that it is impossible to go any lower." ”

"Alright! That's the price. Han Peacock held the general's jar, he didn't put it down, he bargained, he just didn't want to make people suspicious, if he immediately agreed to sell it for one million rupees, it would definitely make people suspicious, if this stall owner didn't sell, it would be troublesome.

Han Xing stepped forward and handed the man a written check, waiting for the man to confirm that it was correct before nodding and allowing them to leave.

Looking at the noisy people watching the excitement, Han Peacock knew that here, such a transaction is indeed a big transaction.

When he got into the car again, the general jar was already in his hands.

Liu Fu looked at it a few times, but she didn't find anything special, she couldn't help but ask Han Peacock: "I don't see anything special?" Except that the pattern is a little weird and smooth to the touch, it's nothing, why is he only 90,000 yuan? ”

Han Peacock smiled and said: "You give it to Han Xing, let Han Xing see, he shouldn't have learned much about Xiaoye Rosewood recently, and now it's just right to use it." ”

Han Xing was very surprised to find the general jar, and he really didn't look at the general jar carefully, because no matter what price Han Peacock bought it, it would make a fortune if he brought it back to China.

When they first came here, they would also visit the small market nearby, and they also found some bargains from here, so it is really normal for Han peacocks who have just come here to behave like this.

And now that Han Peacock specially let him watch it, there is a saying.

So Han Xing began to face up to this general jar, and when he got his hands on it, he immediately found that it was different, this general jar was indeed carved from small-leaf rosewood, but the texture was wrong, which made Han Xing frown.

"Why, didn't you recognize what it was made of?" Han Peacock smiled.

Han Xing suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said: "The production is not too exquisite, at least the polishing is not good, since the eldest brother attaches importance to it, is it a shadow material?" ”

"Tell me." Han Peacock said.

"This must be gall material, although I can't say how many characteristics there are, but this grain should be the characteristic of gall material, and the texture of this big jar is stronger, it should be because the density is greater than that of ordinary small-leaved rosewood." Han Xing said.

Han Peacock smiled: "You have improved very quickly recently. ”

"Is this shadow material? What is a shadow material? Liu Wu asked strangely.

Han Peacock explained with a smile: "In fact, it is gall material, which is also known as shadow material, which is actually the abnormal growth tissue caused by trauma or local lesions during the growth of trees.

That is, what we usually call tree tumors, ugly appearance of tree tumors, its wood grain is usually varied, different from the normal growth of wood texture, so it has become the best choice for many wooden handicrafts, but the number of gall materials is much less than conventional materials, so the price is much higher than conventional materials.

Rosewood is delicate, dense, and oily, so there are very few galls in the growth, and the value of the rosewood itself is very high, and it is known as the king of wood, so the rosewood gall material is the top grade pursued by rosewood lovers. ”

"How do you see that?" Han Peacock continued to ask Han Xing. (To be continued......)
