Han Kongque stopped talking about the Dragon Project. Instead, he told Chen Qing about the chain store's promotion plan. Han Kongque had already made these plans, but Han Qi Kuai did not want to participate, although Chen Qing wanted Han Kongque to participate in the chain store.
Business, but Han Kongque still firmly declined.
Originally, this industry was created by Han Kongque. If the operation still depends on Han Kongque's help in every detail, then what use are Chen Qing and his wife?
If you don't give Chen Qing's family a chance to show off, there will always be a thorn in their hearts.
At 8:30 the next day, Han Xing came over on time to pick up Han Honor and bring him to the company.
As soon as he walked into the company, Han Kongque saw that all the employees had arrived. It seemed that all the wages, bonuses and benefits were in place yesterday, which made all the employees very enthusiastic.
"It's very early today!" Han Peacock looked at his watch, he went to work at nine o'clock, and now it's only eight forty. Everyone is here.
"I came early so I could clean up." Bai Xiaoyi was wiping the table with a rag. Others were cleaning the windows and mopping the floor.
Han Kongque looked at this huge office area and saw that it really needed a professional cleaner: "Mr. Bai, find a cleaner! This is not what you are used to do in the company."
"Come on, be careful, there's water on it." Han Kongque saw two women walking out of the bathroom carrying something.
One of them is Zhang Yirui, and the other is Qin Ge, who asked her husband to help get the seafood yesterday afternoon.
"What are you carrying?" Han Peacock asked.
When Zhang Yirui saw that it was Han Kongque, he immediately said a little embarrassed: "Boss, isn't it time yet?"
Qin Ge said embarrassedly at this time: "This is a small wooden horse I bought at the flea market today. Our baby likes it. Before I came to the company this morning, I went to the flea market first, so I bought the wooden horse.
Brought it to the company."
"The wooden horse? It's very beautiful! But do you need to go to the flea market to buy it? It seems that there are all kinds of things in the mall." Han Peacock looked at the wooden horse and felt something was wrong.
Zhang Yirui said: "This is different. You see, children can ride on it and play with it. The ones sold in shopping malls now are made of plastic and cannot be moved."
Han Peacock took a look and found that indeed, this little wooden horse was different from the current wooden horses. It was made of solid wood. The four legs of the wooden horse were inlaid on two curved wooden bars, like a seesaw. As long as you ride on the pony,
The pony will sway in tandem, which is much better than ordinary plastic horses.
"Hey, the shape and color of this wooden horse are very good. Where did you buy it?" Han Peacock wanted to leave at first glance, but just this glance made him stop. He finally thought of this little wooden horse.
Why did it give him a strange feeling?
"It's beautiful, isn't it? Bai Xiaoyi was disgusted just now, Bai Xiaoyi, don't move, I won't let you play with anyone else." Zhang Yirui slapped Bai Xiaoyi's extended hand aside.
Bai Xiaoyi said angrily: "This thing was so black just now? If you had washed it clean a long time ago, can I dislike it?"
"Show me that tissue of yours." Han Kongque ignored Bai Xiaoyi and Zhang Yirui and said directly to Qin Ge.
Qin Ge reasoned, holding a paper towel, which was used to wipe the moisture from the wooden horse just now.
"Is this wiped off a wooden horse?" Han Peacock looked at the rusty red color on the paper towel and was a little surprised.
Qin Ge said: "I don't know what's going on. I can't wipe this wooden horse clean. The more I wipe it, the more color will fall off. It seems that cheap money can't be good."
"You know there are no good products for cheap money, but you still go to the flea market to buy them?" Bai Xiaoyi said.
Qin Ge said: "Almost all of these wooden horses on the market are made of bamboo. How strong are they? A few days ago, my husband spent 300 yuan to buy one for his son. It fell apart within a day of use.
This is made of solid wood. If you make it yourself, not to mention the wood paint, but the labor is not cheap, so it is better to go to the flea market. This kind of old furniture is both strong and cheap. It is just suitable for poor people like us. This pony
Although it’s a bit lacking, it would be nice if I could go home and paint some paint.”
Han Kongque didn't listen to their nonsense. He suddenly said: "Is it heavy? Put it down and let me take a look."
Han Peacock couldn't help but snatch the wooden horse from the hands of the two women.
It is indeed very heavy. Such a small wooden horse, which is 70 centimeters high and 90 centimeters long, feels very heavy in the hand. It is no wonder that it took two women to carry it.
This little wooden horse looks very dark, but Han Peacock can still see it. It is not black, but purple-black. The purple is so powerful that it looks like it is black.
The wood grain of the wooden horse that had been cleaned very clean by Qin Ge and the two of them could be clearly seen. This wood grain formed little by little textures like cow hair. Only one type of wood has such a performance, and that is
Pterocarpus lobata.
Because the growth of small-leaf red sandalwood is extremely slow, the density is quite high. The wood grain forms a pattern that looks like cow hair. People call this unique texture "cow hair pattern". As long as you look carefully, you can definitely find the cow hair pattern.
.
The color of small-leaf rosewood, as the name suggests, is generally purple. However, the color of small-leaf rosewood will change according to time. The color of older small-leaf rosewood is darker, purple-black.
Gently rub the wood of small-leaf rosewood with an alcohol cotton ball. If it is new material, the alcohol cotton ball will turn purple-red. If you put a little bit of the new wood powder of small-leaf red sandalwood into the wine, there will be streaks of dust.
Blood red threads.
If rusty red appears, it means the old material of small-leaf rosewood. The new material is red without rust and is a brighter red.
Among the sandalwood family, only rosewood and ebony contain pigments, so they can be easily identified through scratches on white cardboard and alcohol wipe marks.
If there are no traces, it means that the item is not red sandalwood at all. If the traces are purple, it means that the item is African rosewood. If the traces are rusty red, it means that the item is small-leaf red sandalwood, and it is old material.
Korean Peacock compared the texture characteristics of red sandalwood and carefully observed the appearance and color. These are completely the expression of small leaf red sandalwood.
When Han Peacock took the wooden horse, he had already weighed it. The wooden horse felt very good and pressed against his hand, indicating that the wood was tight and dense.
Based on the traces of wiping, Han Peacock smelled the smell of the wooden horse, which had a faint fragrance. Some water droplets that had not been wiped clean were purple-red with fluorescence on them.
In addition to these features, there are some metallic highlights on the surface of the entire wooden horse. Such highlights are everywhere on the surface of the entire wooden horse and look very beautiful. If Han Peacock saw well, this should be a full gold star.
If this is really the old material of small-leaf rosewood, that would be right. Nowadays, people generally believe that the new material of small-leaf rosewood does not have gold stars, and only old materials can have gold stars.
"Venus" actually refers to the precipitation of organic matter in the veins on the cross-section of the red sandalwood material. Due to growth environmental factors and time factors, organic matter and minerals continue to precipitate to form bright spots with a metallic texture.
Everything made from this old material, small-leaf red sandalwood, is very beautiful, especially the Buddhist bead bracelet. After each bead is cut and polished, it presents a spherical surface. On the spherical surface, yellow dots of Venus can appear, matching the background and color of the red sandalwood material.
The contrast is obvious and very beautiful.
And this wooden horse, if Han Peacock is not mistaken, is carved from the entire stump of a small-leaf red sandalwood tree, because the four lower legs of the wooden horse, as well as the slightly curved seesaw, can still be seen if you look carefully.
The shape of the tree root is revealed, and now the tree root is perfectly connected to the main body above. This can only mean that it is carved and formed from the tree stump with the tree root.
Such a wooden horse is carved from the tree stump of small-leaf red sandalwood. The identity of its owner is definitely not simple.
Such a thing, even if it is made of red sandalwood scraps, would not be suitable for ordinary people.
Ordinary people would not spend so much money on scraps.
Carving a wooden horse out of small-leaf red sandalwood covered with gold stars. How much of a prodigal must one be to do this?
If it is not a prodigal, it is that the small-leaf red sandalwood was not valuable at that time, or the owner had more good materials, so he looked down on such a scrap. No matter what it is, it means that the owner is either rich or noble.
But Han Peacock rummaged through the entire Trojan horse and couldn't find any marks on it. Of course, there was no identification to indicate its identity.
However, judging from the shape of this pony, the horse is fat, with broad breasts and hips, majestic and majestic, and has the style of a Tang horse.
But judging from other characteristics, it definitely does not belong to the Tang horse. The outline of the horse's body, the texture of different parts such as the mane and tail, muscles, and bones are all fully expressed. These are all characteristics of horses in Shang Xi's paintings in the Ming Dynasty.
Shang Xi was a court painter in the early Ming Dynasty. Shang Xi's horse paintings were more skillful, but the shapes and techniques were not as good as those of his predecessors, which exactly fits the shape of this wooden horse.
Judging from this, the time when this wooden horse was carved should be after the Ming Dynasty. Although Han Kongque could not accurately determine the year when this wooden horse was made, from the materials and workmanship, this wooden horse was probably from the Ming Dynasty, because it was only in that era.
Only then is it possible to waste red sandalwood in this way.
In the Ming Dynasty, those who had this kind of handiwork, had access to the paintings of the court painter Shang Xi, and had superb carpentry skills all pointed to a celebrity at that time, the carpenter Emperor Zhu Youxiao.
Only he would use the whole small-leaf red sandalwood material to make such gadgets under such conditions. And only he would be so wasteful. If it were an ordinary minister's home, it would not be so extravagant.
Of course, merchant families have financial resources, but they dare not do this. After all, small-leaf red sandalwood was exclusively used by the royal family in the Ming Dynasty or was used as tribute to important figures in the officialdom. It cannot be surpassed by ordinary civilian families.
Let’s talk about rosewood. In any era, you can’t find a pair of big materials just by looking for them. Therefore, even if someone wants to break the rules, it is not that easy.
Han Peacock stroked the wooden horse carefully. Feeling the texture of the small leaf red sandalwood, the more he looked at the whole wooden horse, the more he liked it. In this way, his expression became a bit intriguing.
"Boss, boss..." Just when Han Peacock was intoxicated by the faint fragrance of small-leaf red sandalwood and looked at the gold stars on the surface of the Trojan horse, which seemed to emit bright golden light, bursts of light came from far away.
The shouts woke him up.
"What's wrong? What are you doing here?" Han Peacock reacted and immediately stared at everyone around him.
Bai Xiao also said: "Your actions are a bit exaggerated."
"That's right, boss, you don't want to hold these ponies and give them a kiss, do you?"
"I think the boss wants to take a bite of it."
"This is too obscene."
Han Peacock's actions just now are really thought-provoking. At first, it seemed normal. He just snatched someone else's Trojan horse, but if he robbed it, he would rob it. After all, he is the boss, so it doesn't matter if he lets the boss have a look.
But that was not the case next. First, Han Peacock stroked the wooden horse extremely obscenely, and then he lay on the wooden horse and kept sniffing. Then it was even more jaw-dropping. Everyone saw that Han Peacock actually
He slapped the Trojan's ass a few times in succession.
Of course, this is because Han Kongque didn't pay attention. If possible, he would not add that part.
Han Kongque didn't care about the way other people looked at him, he stared at Qin Ge and said: "Is this thing yours? How much did it cost to buy it?"
Qin Ge said: "Mr. Han liked it and gave it to you. I didn't spend much money."
Since Han Peacock likes it so much and likes it to the point of licking it, Qin Ge feels a little sick looking at this little wooden horse, so he might as well give it to his boss.
"Give it to me? Are you sure? You have to know that all the employees here are listening! If you regret it in the future, you can't go back." Han Peacock said with a smile.
Qin Ge smiled a little reluctantly: "As long as the boss likes it, I just bought it for my son to play with. It's not worth it. If the boss likes it, just take it."
Han Peacock stared at this woman, how terrible it is to be uneducated!
"Who else is in your family?" Han Peacock asked.
Qin Ge was at a loss, but Bai Xiaoyi and others on the side saw something. She glanced at Qin Ge enviously and said: "Qin Ge and his wife have a one-year-old son, and another
Mother lives with them."
"Okay, Bai Xiaoyi, do you have his husband's phone number? Call him and ask him to come. If his mother is free, you can come over together and say that I need their help with something." After Han Kongque said a few words,
He picked up the little wooden horse and walked into his office.
This thing is really not light. Although it looks small, it weighs more than thirty kilograms.
Seeing Han Peacock holding the little wooden horse with a smile and walking away, Bai Xiaoyi pulled over the dumbfounded Han Xing and said: "Han Xing, is that a good thing?"
Although Han Xing did not look carefully, Han Peacock had already made it so obvious, and he had seen all the actions Han Peacock made. They were basically testing whether it was lobular rosewood.
"If I'm not mistaken, it should be a wooden horse carved from small-leaf red sandalwood full of Venus aniseed." Han Xing said.
"Small-leaf red sandalwood? Isn't this expensive?"
"These things are very expensive. I saw on TV that a pair of tea bowls carved from rosewood were sold for more than 300,000 yuan!"
"What is Full Venus?"
Although they don't know what Venus is, most people here know about small-leaf red sandalwood. This thing is now sought after to the sky. As long as it is related to these four words, there is no cheap one.
"Han Xing, how much do you think that little wooden horse is worth?" Bai Xiaoyi was always able to grasp the key points of the question.
Han Xing smiled bitterly: "It's really hard to say. Although the material is very good, it is obviously a waste to make a wooden horse. If it is to make a large sculpture, the price will be even harder to say.
But no matter what, the price cannot be lower, and if it is used to make bracelets or pen holders, the pen holder produced by such a Trojan can sell for at least three to five hundred thousand."
"Such a big thing can be sold for such a small amount of money?" Bai Xiaoyi said very disappointedly.
Han Xing said: "So I say it's hard to say. Some pen holders can be sold for 300,000 yuan each, but that depends on the engraver and some of the stories behind it. There's no way to say anything about art. If you meet one you like, how much will it cost?"
Money will buy it, but if you meet someone you don’t like, they may not even give you a penny.”
Looking at Qin Ge who was a little disappointed, Bai Xiaoyi glared at Han Xing and said: "You don't want to curry favor with the boss and deliberately lowered the price of the wooden horse, right? I heard that rosewood is sold in Lunke."
Han Xing complained: "Small leaf red sandalwood is not as expensive as you think, and it is not sold in grams. Basically, the price of raw materials is calculated in tons or kilograms.
The general price of raw materials in the market is about 700,000-1.5 million per ton, but the raw materials sold in that way are a bunch of materials, no matter they are good or bad, for one price. If you choose, the price will be much higher. For a single material,
If you want to choose materials, the price will not be less than 1.5 million per ton.
In addition, if the material is of good quality, it will be more expensive, such as Manjinxing material. Even if it is small material, it is estimated to cost 2,000 per catty based on kilogram, and the lower one will cost 1,500 per kilogram.
However, the price of ordinary materials and small materials can range from 500 to 700 per pound. It also depends on the integrity and durability of the material. For example, furniture materials will be more expensive. If they are not shaped, they can only be used to make hand-strung beads. , the price will be much lower.
At present, there are materials on the market that only cost 300-400 per kilogram. In short, it depends on the condition of the material. If the material has many gold stars, has many characteristics such as water waves, watercress, and galls, is high in density, and is oily, the price will be different."
"Oh, even if it's two thousand and one catty, how much does that pony weigh? Even if it's one hundred catties, it's not only two hundred thousand? It's such a small amount of money and it's not necessary to alarm Qin Ge's family?" Bai Xiao also said To understand Qin Ge’s family situation.
