Chapter 4: Old Iron Head?
Sanhong refers to other mahogany, such as wenge, ironwood, etc., which were originally in large quantities and not high in price. But as raw materials become more and more scarce, they have now become a hot commodity, and the most basic furniture is at least hundreds of thousands.
Therefore, the market is all red sandalwood materials, after all, there are more materials in India. Huanghuali doesn't even think about it, let alone here, even if you go to the Xiaowuji market in the capital, you can't see it, this is rare and expensive.
Wen Yiming walked and smelled, constantly looking for a unique taste of red sandalwood, he has a minimum standard, the charm is deep and far-reaching, red sandalwood is known as a thousand years of dwarf, and there are ten wood and nine empty characteristics, so the taste is strong, the moisture is heavy, and the lack of stamina is a new material, and there is no investment value.
"It's a pity!"
He picked up a piece of material, sniffed it vigorously, shook his head and said: "The taste is quite thick, but it is obviously hollow inside, and there is a slight smell, it should have been eaten by insects, otherwise it is also a good material!"
With the Venus material in his hand for comparison, Wen Yiming's heart is very high, and it is generally not worth making a move, so he turned around a lot, but there was no other gain.
"Hey, it seems that this batch of materials is not good, and there are really fewer and fewer good materials, huh? What does this taste like?"
Just when Wen Yiming was about to give up and leave, suddenly a strange fragrance came from a distance, which shocked him, and he hurriedly walked over to the innermost corner of the market.
"Agarwood!"
"There is agarwood today?"
Wen Yiming's eyes lit up, and he saw thirty or forty white woods piled on the ground, and he was excited, but he didn't expect to meet agarwood today?
Agarwood refers to the Ruixiang family wood species, there are generally three kinds of real agarwood, China is Guanxiang wood, the main production areas are Qiongzhou and Guancheng, and there are a few in southern Yunnan.
Then there are the honey incense wood species of the Hui'an system, mainly in Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand and other places, as the agarwood in Qiongzhou becomes less and less, they have become the mainstream of the high-end market.
Finally, there is the eagle wood of the Star Continent system, which is concentrated in several island countries, such as Malaysia, Brunei, Kalimantan and other places, which is known as a second-tier production area, but there is no shortage of fine products.
"Boss Fei, what else is there to hesitate about? These are all good goods that have just been shipped from Nha Trang, especially the one in your hand, which is 100% old iron head!"
There are already a lot of people here, and it is rare for agarwood to appear in Chenzhai, and many connoisseurs have come to see the excitement. Wen Yiming slowly approached the crowd, and happened to see the merchant talking to a fat-headed and big-eared man, who was holding a piece of wood tightly in his hand and looking a little hesitant.
The fat man frowned, carefully looked at the wood in his hand, it must be Nha Trang goods, it should be a branch, after being damaged by external forces, it is fragrant, looking at the thickness of the black oil shell of the broken mouth, the iron head will definitely not be able to run!
"What an old iron head, a rare good thing!"
"I didn't expect to see the iron head that has been Yuuka for more than 20 years today?"
"Hey, at least 100,000, this kind of goods are rare!"
The boss is a swarthy and thin man, and when he heard the discussion of the people around him, he was satisfied: "Did you hear it? Everyone is an expert, if you hesitate, maybe you will be cheaper than others!"
"This ......" The fat man took a deep breath, he naturally heard the comments of the people around him, picked up the wood with his left hand, took out a knife with his right hand, and was just about to do it, when suddenly the thin man grabbed the wood, and said dissatisfiedly: "This is not authentic, it is a gamble, with eyesight, and a knife will become a clear material, so what is the bet?"
"Don't get me wrong!" the fat man snatched the wood, grabbed it like a baby, and said loudly: "You don't want to inquire about my old Fei's reputation?
He weighed the wood with his hands, and said in a deep voice: "The material is good, open the door to Nha Trang goods, the oil shell is thick enough, it is reluctant to say that it is an iron head, but the texture is still soft, and the mellow time is not enough!"
He picked up the wood and showed it to everyone: "The taste is still a little pungent, the sweetness is insufficient, and the bitterness is heavy, don't you believe it?"
As he spoke, he was about to take it to the crowd of onlookers to smell, the thin man's face changed, he grabbed the wood again, and snorted coldly: "Lao Fei, you are also an expert in playing incense, there is no need to say nonsense, we all know whether the material is good or not!
"One hundred and fifty thousand?"
Lao Fei frowned, pouted and said, "It's too expensive, it's not worth betting on 150,000 yuan! I'll take 80,000 yuan!"
"Eighty thousand, then you might as well go around somewhere else!"
The thin man sneered and said loudly: "Nha Trang old iron head, the oil shell is so thick, once you win the bet......, it will be at least tripled!
"One hundred thousand!" The fat man's face changed when he heard this, and he hurriedly said loudly: "One hundred thousand, I want it!"
"120,000, not a penny less!" The thin man shook his head with a smile, looked at Lao Fei's hand holding the wood tightly, and said proudly: "Lao Fei, listen to me, there will be no more missed opportunities!
As he spoke, he was about to reach out and take back the wood in the fat man's hand, but at this time, the fat man gritted his teeth, waved hard, and said loudly: "Don't move, I want it!"
Hurriedly took out 120,000 cash from his bag, looked at the thin man's greedy expression, and said dissatisfiedly: "You kid is lucky, this piece of material is enough for you to eat for half a year, right?"
"Thank you Boss Fei for your care, you deserve to be a big player and have the courage!"
The thin man hurriedly took the money, quickly checked it, and said proudly: "Wealth is in danger, gambling is eyesight, you can rest assured, this piece of material is definitely worth the price, little brother congratulates you on your fortune in advance!"
Lao Fei nodded, his face softened, he looked at the wood in his hand, and said with satisfaction: "Hmph, accept your noble words, remember to find me in the future, and go!"
The onlookers looked at the back of the fat man turning away, and couldn't help but discuss: "Who is that fat man?
"Nonsense, you don't know him? The famous boss Fei of the antique city, nicknamed the fat man!"
"I've heard of his name, there are several shops in the antique city, claiming to be worth more than 100 million, and he still knows agarwood?"
"Don't look at people who are fat, but they are also well-known in the incense circle, otherwise they will be stupid enough to directly throw off hundreds of thousands of gambling wood?"
"Local tyrants, those who play with agarwood are all big tyrants!"
Wen Yiming listened to all kinds of discussions in the crowd, looked at the fat man's back, shook his head, and the domineering Boss Fei must be eye-catching this time!
He had long noticed that the so-called Nha Trang old ingredient, the appearance of the oil shell is indeed very thick, and the taste is also authentic, but Wen Yiming knows that it is all superficial!
As soon as the nose smelled it, he sensed that the wood was white wood at all, in other words, there was no incense in it at all! The fat man only sold the surface oil shell for 120,000 yuan, which was at most two or three centimeters thick.
Even if it is all high-grade agarwood, it is worth a maximum of twenty or thirty thousand according to the number of grams, and the poor boss Fei has to spend at least 100,000 yuan!
Although it is a gamble, but it can't be said that the fat man's vision is not good, and others will choose to fight! It can only be said that the deception of wood is too strong, who would have thought that the dignified old iron head is actually an imposter in the gold wool!
