Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Bed of Rosewood Collapses

Again, there is the problem of office location.

"Old Seven, I suggest you run more, especially go to Panjiayuan to see if there is a suitable place to open a store"

"Hehe, second brother, I don't want to rent a house anymore, I want to buy a house as an office space."

"You are stupid, now that the house price is now, how much money do you have to occupy to buy a house, and what should I do if the company is short of money for operation?"

"Although buying a house may be more financially stressful in the early stage, but you don't see the speed of the rise in housing prices, I estimate that it will continue to rise in the future, hehe, this is also an investment."

"Well, that's what I said, but it's also geographical, so let's go find it together tomorrow"

"I've got to go out of town tomorrow, by the way, you can help me find a truck, the van-type kind, or if there's a ready-made one, I'll buy one."

"Where are you going? It's a coincidence, my daughter-in-law and his cousin have opened a moving company, and the business is not good this year, he has always wanted to close it, he has three cars in his hand, if you want me to buy it for you, it shouldn't be too expensive."

"That's great, it's better to talk to him now, I need it tomorrow"

"Okay", said that the second child called over, and after a few words, it was settled, and let us go over tonight to have a look.

After dinner, I drove over.

"When did you buy a new car? That's not interesting enough, you didn't tell me."

"Hehe, this is an old car, I just bought it for less than a month"

Came to a junction of urban and rural areas, turned left and right to find a small courtyard, and then stopped, the second child came forward to call the door, and then a person came out.

"Yo, brother-in-law, you're here, come in."

Listening to the sound a little familiar, Wang Chao saw that it was none other than the gangzi he met when he went to gamble on the stone a while ago, Guo Jiangang, the master who was very familiar with Boss Li.

"Brother-in-law, this is... Yo, aren't you the boss Wang who bought Boss Li's car? ”

"Hello Brother Guo, let's meet again"

"Come in and talk about it" Then the three of them walked into the room, and after sitting down, the gang said, "Boss Wang, do you want to buy a truck?" ”

"Brother Guo, don't call me Boss Wang, my second brother and I are friends, and I won't be outside of you, call me Wang Chao." It's true that I want to buy a truck, and I want to pull some goods myself."

"How many do you want? I have three of them here, I bought them for less than 2 years, I haven't done much work in total, I haven't even paid for the car back, and I don't have the heart to get this piece here, so the car is in good condition, and I don't need you to add anything."

"Okay, I'll do it, you can make a price"

"When I bought these three cars, I spent a total of 630,000 yuan, including the loan, a total of 750,000 yuan, and if you sincerely want me, I will give you the lowest price - 500,000 yuan, and you will drive them all."

"Brother Guo, let me get out of the car, if the car is okay, I will ask for it all"

"No problem, come on" He stood up as he spoke, and Wang Chao followed out. When I got to the back yard, I saw three silver-gray vans inside, one large and two small, the big one was 7 meters long, 2 and a half meters wide, 3 meters high, and the payload was 5 tons; The other two smaller ones are also 5 meters long, 2 and a half meters wide, 2 and a half meters high, and have a payload of 3 tons. There is a very new appearance, see that the tires are brand new Bridgestone, the tires are still very deep, open the door one by one, plug in the key to light the light, a twist and go, it seems that the car is good, and then look at the dashboard, the longest car only ran 7000 kilometers, and it has not been out of the run-in period at all.

"Okay, Brother Guo, the car is very good, I want it all, if you have time, we will go to Xiahu tomorrow"

"Brother Haode"

We went back and sat down again, "Wang Chao, what are you doing when you buy so many cars?" Is it convenient to say?"

"Brother Guo, I mainly want to use this to pull goods"

"Oh, what business are you doing now"

"I want to register a company to make antiques"

"Antiques? That's a good business, you need a lot of eyesight, it seems that you really have the ability."

"Where, I'm also learning by doing, and I've had a bit of luck lately and picked up some leaks, so I want to try this line"

"What do you have in this antique?"

"Calligraphy and painting, antiques, domestic and foreign antiques can be done"

"Yo, it's very wide"

"It's okay, my girlfriend and her family are engaged in this, and if you encounter someone who can't hold it, you can invite their family to come and see" I thought of Zhang Xinyu's grandfather in my heart, and thought to myself, "Old man, we haven't become a family yet, I'll calculate your old man first, but don't be surprised"

"That's it" He seemed to hesitate a little, but he looked at Wang Chao, and then said as if he had made up his mind, "Wang Chao, I have an old object here that you have in your palm, this is handed down from my family."

With that, he stood up and led us closer to the inner room.

The inner room is not big, it is about 30 square meters, and it is a double bed opposite, but this type of "bed" is really rare, it is a railing on three sides, the shape is absolutely different from today, about 90 cm high, about 1 meter wide, about 2 meters long, there is a wooden cabinet in the middle of it, there is also a wooden cabinet next to the bed next to the wall, and the rest is a square table and two chairs of the eight immortals, which is not like a modern way.

"Look, my bed, the table of the eight immortals, the chair, the cabinet, Brother Wang, look at it"

Wang Chao usually buys some collectible books, and has paid a little attention to woodware, and knows that there are many good things in the collection of woodware, but he has not actually seen it.

"Well, these furniture have a history of more than 300 years, it seems to be really antiques", first of all, the small table in the middle of the bed, the table top is dark red, as if it is a whole board made of a tree split in the middle, the lower four legs show an arc of about 20 degrees, it is worth noting that each table leg foot is carved with a lion, and the table leg is stepped on below, antique, where it is placed and placed, revealing a dignified, atmospheric and elegant feeling.

Look at the cabinet next to the bed, it is about 50 centimeters high and 30 centimeters wide, the color is dignified and deep, quaint and moist, and the structure is concise.

These two tables are all made of wooden wedges, and there is no modern iron or copper sheet. The ability showed that these two were made of high-quality rosewood, and not only was he secretly taken aback, but he said, "These two are really treasures."

"Brother Guo, the two tables on your bed should be old objects, but the specific source is not clear, and they are made of rosewood, which is a good thing."

"How much do you think these two can sell if they can be sold?"

"It's hard to say, I haven't poured wood, but according to my estimates, how can it be worth 500,000, after all, the quality is good, there are no bumps, Brother Guo, you are really blessed"

"Brother, if it's really worth so much, I can sell you, I don't want 500,000, you give me 400,000 and it will be yours, what do you think?"

"Hehe, Brother Guo, I can't take advantage of you, besides, this kind of thing is very lacking in the market now, and it should be worth more."

"I'll tell you the truth, I've been very bad luck lately, I owe a lot of money, and I say that there is no father and son in the card field, and I have to quickly find a way to return the money to others, so I'm really waiting for the money, if you are really optimistic, it will be yours"

At this time, people have gradually realized the importance of antiques, especially the red sandalwood, it is said that the wife of the Tang monk Tang opened a red sandalwood museum, the audience is like a cloud, but unfortunately there are not many people who can really afford it, most of them go there to open their eyes.

"Gold plucks the red sandalwood trough, and the strings are first opened higher" Wang Jian, a famous poet of the Tang Dynasty, commented on the red sandalwood is already very lofty and accurate.

Rosewood with its texture like satin jade, color and elegance and has been deeply appreciated by the palace and dignitaries, in the classical furniture collection and museums of various countries in the collection has been ranked first, yes, you read that right, it is indeed ranked first, it is said that there is a five-inch long rosewood coffin model in front of the tomb of French President Napoleon, which is considered to be a rare thing in the world by visitors to the country, of course, it has its historical significance, not entirely the value of the rosewood itself, but it can also be seen that the evaluation of the rosewood is high.

The earliest record of red sandalwood is in the period of the 3rd century AD, and then the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties have records of red sandalwood, and most of them are used by the royal family, the people are not allowed to collect or purchase privately, once it is found that it is not only confiscated, but also given a conviction, and the light one is dozens of battles, and the family property is confiscated; The serious capital crime shows the respect of the status of red sandalwood at that time. It is said that when the Old Summer Palace was built, a lot of high-quality red sandalwood was used to decorate, but unfortunately when the Eight-Nation Alliance was robbed or burned, it has been rare to come out, I didn't expect him to have it here, and it is two pieces of red sandalwood that are already considered large.

Wang Chao thought for a while, "Brother Guo, don't hide it from you, these two are indeed worth a lot, if you sell them to me, it's really cheap."

"It's okay, I'm really anxious to use the money now, and I don't have a way to do this, if you can take it, just take it all"

"Brother haode Guo, 500,000, I want both.

"Okay, but you can look at the rest of my rest"

Wang Chao continued to look at the "bed" with his ability, in fact, it should not be regarded as a bed, it should be called "collapse" in the strict sense, that is, in the Qing Dynasty dramas often seen on TV, those who smoke big cigarettes and have status in the house In addition to the bed, a wide "collapse" that can lie down and sit and lie in the hall is placed.

I saw that this "collapse" has thick legs, flat horseshoe shape, carved with double dragon play bead threads, filled with colorful cloud patterns, the shape is generous and simple, but the fly in the ointment is that there are two broken columns around this "collapse", causing a small flaw.

At this time, Wang Chao remembered in his mind that he had introduced in the book he read, most of this kind of collapse was used by the palace and nobles, and the double dragon play beads carved on it were only used by the royal family in ancient times, even the prince and the like did not dare to use it, so it can be seen that this one flowed out of the palace.

Look at this collapse color is light yellow, the texture is clear, the shape is elegant, made of typical Huanghuali, if I am not mistaken, the book for this type should be called Huanghuali Luohan bed, once auctioned for millions of yuan in the Gade auction.

In addition, look at the square table, about 80 centimeters high, the length-width ratio is not obvious, basically square, the table is slightly corseted, straight teeth, carved with curly grass pattern, back lines, square legs and straight feet, inverted horseshoe, the shape is simple, look at it from perspective, it turned out to be a Huanghuali square table.

And the two chairs are also Huanghuali chairs, the back of the chair is erected with three supports, the middle is a long single board about 15 cm wide, the two sides are cylindrical shoulders, the chair surface presents a back and the seat surface showing a back-tilt angle of about 105 degrees, there are armrests on both sides, which is a typical official hat chair shape, I remember that there is a collector in Shanghai who collected a set of Huanghuali chairs, the quality is applauded, and the sky-high price of 2.04 million was sold that year, although these two are in general condition, but they are also genuine Huanghuali, and they have a history of hundreds of years. The price won't be lower than that.

Wang Chao lowered his head and sniffed these three things gently, sure enough, there was a fragrance, remembering that the legend of Huanghuali has a unique aroma that other tree species do not have, which can survive hundreds of years without dispersing, which can be described as precious, so this Huanghuali is also called fragrant wood, commonly known as the mother of pear, Huanghuali, and is also a precious endangered precious tree species, it brings its own gorgeous patterns and color and the aesthetics of the Ming and Qing dynasties just happened to be mild, so it became the main furniture material sought after by the royal family and nobles at that time.

At present, Huanghuali has to be weighed by catties, and the market price per catty has generally exceeded 3,000 yuan, and this is only the price of logs or used as logs, and the molding of Huanghuali furniture or carvings is basically 100,000.

This collapse, table, and chair should belong to a set, with exquisite materials and fine workmanship, and should be objects in the court, and their value is immeasurable.

"At what price do you want to sell?" Wang Chao asked

I saw Guo Jiangang gritted his teeth and said, "Give 1 million, you take everything in this house"

"Brother Guo, you want less, so let's do it, I'll give you 1.2 million, just this I can still accept your personal favor" Wang Chao looked at the face of the second child, and gave more, and if it is brought to the auction house, it is estimated that these things will exceed 10 million, but this leakage will definitely not be said.

"Is it really worth that much?" He rolled his eyes and said, "Then my friend has it too, can you still accept it?" ”

"Accept it, as long as it's genuine, I'll accept it"

"Okay, then it's decided, you wait for my call tomorrow"

The negotiation was done, the time was not early, the three of them carried the furniture onto the 5-meter truck outside, and then Wang Chao drove Guo Jiangang to the bank to transfer money, and agreed to transfer the vehicle next time Zaijian met, today is indeed no time.

Let the second child call again, called the two of them to drive the other two cars, drove to the Wang Chao community, said hello to the property of the community, rented a parking space for three cars at three times the price, and several people carefully carried things in Wang Chao's house, and the spacious living room became crowded, feeling like a warehouse.

Wang Chao invited a few people to dinner, and returned home alone in the evening, looking at these things placed in the room, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: it shows that the Qing Dynasty was the worst time for national strength, not only the land area was small, but also when the Z heavy agriculture and suppressed business, and even regressed, but from the furniture aspect, the Ming and Qing Dynasty furniture has reached the peak of wooden furniture in history, whether it is workmanship or materials, it can be called unprecedented - even if the current production of water bottles, if the pure production of wooden furniture, almost no one uses wooden wedges to rivet and chisel, Most of them use nails, and although the nails of this metal were relatively strong at that time, they basically rotted in the wood after oxidation for more than ten years or decades, and it is almost impossible to preserve them for hundreds of years, so it is not a country to call them the last ones.

When I went to bed at night, I dreamed that I had become a nobleman, sitting on a chair in Huanghuali and quietly writing something on the rice paper on the table......
