No.106 Collectible agarwood
Regarding "The Confession of the Mountain Family", Wang Mingyuan has the information that can be consulted to corroborate, which cannot be faked.
It's not a lone book or something like that, it can be published by a publishing house, 100,000 is 100,000, and it can be sold.
He immediately opened the box and took out the books wrapped in yellow thickness: "Okay, I'll sell it, I won't keep this thing myself, I don't know if the bookworm is broken, it's better to exchange it for some money." ”
Hear the words. The shopkeeper was overjoyed, took the ancient book, threw it on the table, and saw that Wang Mingyuan was still holding the box, and reached over to take it.
Wang Mingyuan hurriedly took two steps back to avoid: "Only sell books, this box is not sold." ”
"Then what's the matter, the box is used to store books, they are one, without this box, how can I get this?" The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, and reached out to take it again, even if Wang Mingyuan hugged him tightly, when he grabbed the box, he still kept increasing his strength, and he seemed very eager.
Wang Mingyuan could clearly feel that the store attached more importance to this box than to the ancient books.
I tried it out, this box is definitely a good thing, in order to get it, it's almost in the way of grabbing.
After Wang Mingyuan broke free, he shook his head: "My box is a good thing, and I won't sell it...... Do you still have the book? If you don't accept it, I'll take it away! ”
"Brother, don't do it like this!" The store was in a hurry.
"I promised to sell books, but I didn't say I wanted to sell ......boxes," Wang Mingyuan said, bypassing the store and taking back the ancient books he threw on the table: "No more sales!" ”
The shopkeeper was unreliable and had to leave quickly.
"One million, with the box!"
When Wang Mingyuan was about to go out, the store raised the price to one million at once.
This made Wang Mingyuan more and more sure that this box was a good thing.
However, this store is not sincere......
Of course, the antique market is to play leak detection, which has to see whether you know the goods, being blinded, is a very normal thing, and after the fact, you can only think that you are unlucky, and you can only admit that you are unlucky, which is almost a conventional rule, talking about luck and eyesight.
It's also thanks to Wang Mingyuan's extra heart, and the acting skills of this store are not in place.
Wang Mingyuan waved his hand, walked out of the antique shop without looking back, and quickly merged into the flow of people, the shopkeeper hurriedly followed, followed Wang Mingyuan for a while, but found that he had lost the person, and couldn't help patting his thigh: "It's a pity, such a good thing was missed." ”
After thinking about it, he took out the phone again, dialed a few numbers one after another, and after a while, four or five young people came to the door of the store, and after the shopkeeper whispered to a few people, they dispersed into the crowd.
Wang Mingyuan walked around Ruiyun East Street for a while, and after making sure that no one was following, he took a detour to Ruiyun West Street, and chose another antique shop that looked like a small store to get in.
This time, Wang Mingyuan separated the two things, and first asked the store to authenticate the "Shanjia Qing Confession", and determined that it was a manuscript from the Wanli period. This is not much different from the previous one's statement.
Subsequently, Wang Mingyuan took out the box again and asked the store to help see what kind of old object it was.
The shopkeeper is an elderly man, with gray hair and a set of gray and white gowns, which looks very elegant.
The old man took the box, flipped the box, put it to his nose and sniffed: "Do you know what this thing is?" ”
"In my opinion, the box is very ordinary, and the workmanship is average, the only thing I can be sure of is that the material of this box should be good wood, which has been handed down from my friend's family and asked me to bring someone to take a long look, and I don't know the origin myself."
Wang Mingyuan said half-truthfully.
"The workmanship is really average, but the stuff is really good...... This thing is very heavy, and the surface is covered by black lacquer, but from the place where the black lacquer comes off, you can see the dark material inside, and you can clearly smell the strange fragrance emitted by the wood itself, which is a very pure honey fragrance, which is a box made of agarwood. It's a terrible thing to make an ordinary box out of such a good material. The old man said regretfully.
engulf
Agarwood?
Wang Mingyuan was slightly stunned.
On the cat's paw video, he has seen more than once that there is a video of Yashi scraping agarwood powder and using it to incense, which looks very elegant, although it is a promotional video of agarwood products, but the price marked on the merchant's little red car is not low, and it is not something that ordinary people can afford.
There are also various pendants, bracelets or ornaments made of agarwood, most of which are expensive.
But I heard the old man continue: "Agarwood, also known as agarwood, usually, according to the amount of agarwood oil content, agarwood can be divided into four grades.
Premium agarwood is the highest quality and best material quality in agarwood, the content of oil can basically reach 95%, can be completely submerged, very scarce, extremely rare in the market, can not be found.
First-class agarwood, most of which can sink into water. The second-level ones belong to the semi-submerged state, and the third-level ones are generally floating on the water. According to the different grades and different flavors, the price in the world varies greatly. ”
"So, what level can this box reach?" Wang Mingyuan asked expectantly.
"Just try it in a basin...... Want to give it a try! The old man asked.
"Give it a try!" Wang Mingyuan nodded.
Since it's looking for someone to identify, you should always find out what's going on.
The old man smiled: "Follow me!" ”
Following the old man, Wang Mingyuan came to the backyard and saw that the old man took a brass basin, filled it with water, and then put the wooden box straight into the water.
The next moment, the old man froze.
When the wooden box enters the water, it is like a stone thrown into the water, and it immediately sinks to the bottom.
"This ...... This is a premium agarwood! The old man exclaimed.
Wang Mingyuan's eyes were also straight.
This box also has at least three kilograms of premium agarwood, which has a price and no market.
"Four million, I took this box, what do you think?"
The old man took the box out of the water, carefully wiped the moisture inside and outside the box with a soft absorbent towel, carefully placed it on the table next to him, and looked at Wang Mingyuan seriously.
Unexpectedly, getting an ancient book is not the most valuable ancient book, but the box is valuable, Wang Mingyuan really has a feeling of buying and returning the pearl.
He quietly took out his mobile phone, and briefly collected the information of the agarwood, combined with the mobile phone and the old man's statement, this agarwood box is at least collectible, and it may even be higher.
The usual price, a kilogram is worth hundreds of thousands, and if the quality is higher, the price is also doubled. It has reached the level of Qi Nan agarwood, which is unique in ten thousand, that is, there are tens of millions of kilograms at every turn, and there is no money to buy it.
If a famous artist makes a move and makes all kinds of ornaments or play objects, the price will only be higher.
The reason why it is favored by rich people is not only because of the special fragrance of agarwood, but also because agarwood itself is a very rare medicine, which has a good health effect when worn on oneself.
Moreover, now, the wild agarwood has long been exhausted, and there is almost no wild agarwood in the world, and some are only artificially planted, and the agarwood obtained through various damage to the trees.
Obviously, this is something that will become rarer and rarer in the future, and it will be kept by itself, which is in the process of increasing in value.
Wang Mingyuan smiled: "I can't be the master of this, I asked for a friend." ”
"If you can, you can contact your friends now, and the price can be discussed." The old man persevered.
"Let's make it clear, this is actually an old man in a remote village who asked me to bring it for identification, and I can't be contacted by phone, so I can only tell him face to face, I really can't be the master of this matter."
Wang Mingyuan hurriedly found an excuse to avoid too much entanglement.
"That's okay...... the old man said, took a business card and handed it to Wang Mingyuan: "If you have any intention of making a move, feel free to contact me, and I can visit you directly when the time comes." ”
Wang Mingyuan looked at the business card in his hand: Zheng Kaifeng, director of the Mingcheng Cultural Center.
"Then you see, the fee for this appraisal is ......"
"What kind of handling fee do you want, such a valuable and rare thing, if you can hold it in your hand and touch it in your own hands in this life, you will already make a lot of money." Zheng Kaifeng said with a smile.
The person who can become the director of the Mingcheng Cultural Center must be a celebrity in Mingcheng, and this bearing is indeed not comparable to ordinary people.
Thinking of the 100,000 yuan of the goods before, Wang Mingyuan secretly rejoiced that he was fast enough!
After saying goodbye to Zheng Kaifeng, Wang Mingyuan left the Jingxing Flower and Bird Market and walked around the city center.
Such valuable things are worn on the body, and there are many people in the flower and bird market, even if the security conditions in Mingcheng are not bad, it is difficult to guarantee that someone will not have crooked thoughts, so it is better to be careful.
As everyone knows, I don't know if I don't turn around, but as soon as I turned down, Wang Mingyuan really discovered that several young people were behind him, intentionally or unintentionally. Sure enough, he was followed.
Anyway, it is also Mingcheng, in broad daylight, and it is this downtown again, Wang Mingyuan doesn't think they dare to take action against him on the street. However, it's always a hassle to be targeted.
If you don't think about yourself, you should always weigh the safety of your parents.
You know, the value of this box has already made many people red, which makes it a time bomb.
Quietly, Wang Mingyuan dialed the police number, and sent his own location, explaining his situation, Wang Mingyuan walked in the direction of the police station intentionally or unintentionally according to the requirements of the police.
When he was approaching the police station, he turned into a remote alleyway, and for the first time in his life, he was blocked in Mingcheng, where he had lived for more than 20 years.
This time, he did not panic in the slightest, and when several people were about to make a move, the two ends of the alleyway were immediately blocked by police cars.
The next thing is simple, everyone was taken to the police station, to Wang Mingyuan's surprise, these guys who were extremely tough at the beginning were actually a few addicts who had committed a lot of eucalyptus on their hands.
According to preliminary estimates, there are no ten or eight years in prison, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to get out and get involved in drugs.
Regarding the box that Wang Mingyuan carried, Wang Mingyuan claimed to have picked up old objects from the countryside, but he did not investigate too much...... Anyway, the matter was finally settled, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
After returning home, Wang Mingyuan connected the box with the ancient books, hid them in the box under the bed, and after specially explaining that his parents should not move, he went to take a shower, changed into casual clothes, and could prepare for the blind date at night...... This is an unavoidable fate!
