Three hundred and ninetieth eight chapters ten sandalwood nine empty
"It's really like this." Zhao Dayou said what many people are thinking, and rich people, as long as the goods are good, they don't care if it's 300,000, 3 million, or even 30 million, just like Han Peacock.
For him, money is just a bunch of numbers now. If he comes across something he likes, no matter how much money he spends, Han Kongque will buy it without hesitation.
Seeing that Han Kongque understood, Zhao Dayou wanted to say more. He looked around and found that Yang Kun and the others were separately checking some old sandalwood and had no intention of taking action immediately, so he stopped being anxious and started to follow
Han Peacock told some secrets that everyone in the industry knows.
Zhao Dayou said unhurriedly: "Where are we now? As long as it is good, someone will definitely dare to bid. For example, the rosewood official hat chair from the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty, a pair of it is about 16 million yuan, although
It's old, and probably produced by the imperial court, but is that why it's worth sixteen million?
In the final analysis, it was because of the materials and craftsmanship. Because red sandalwood was cherished at that time, most of them went into the palace, and the things in the palace were naturally well-made. These are the chairs, cabinets, and beds made of old red sandalwood.
Wait, the reason why it can be sold at a sky-high price.
For example, a pair of four-piece red sandalwood cabinets from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty were sold for 39.76 million yuan. In the spring of 2008, a red sandalwood girdle and passion flower Bogutu Arhat bed from the Qing Dynasty was sold for 32.48 million yuan. So if you have good things, you will never buy them.
Worry about selling."
"No wonder countries around the world have restricted the export of mahogany! This is all caused by the lunatics in our country. At such a high price, some people actually buy it," said Han Kongque.
Zhao Dayou said: "Where is this? Huanghuali furniture is called crazy. It is really a realistic version of "crazy wood". A "Huanghuali chair made by the imperial court of the Ming Dynasty" sold for 62 million yuan in the autumn auction.
The transaction in RMB became the highest price ever paid for Chinese classical furniture at auction.
Surprisingly, rosewood furniture, which has always been known as the "King of Woods," had a relatively stable growth rate last year and did not perform in an eye-catching manner. Otherwise, today's scene might be even crazier."
After Zhao Dayou finished speaking, he pointed to another person not far away who started to solve the puzzle. He was very helpless.
Han Peacock paid attention. The diameter of the small-leaf red sandalwood tree was about sixty centimeters. If it were placed outside, it would be considered a big tree, but here, it could only be considered a small tree.
However, this small-leaf red sandalwood tree is relatively tall. At the end of the five-meter-long main trunk, the diameter reaches more than 20 centimeters.
This small-leaf rosewood tree is relatively straight. Although it is very thick, it does not look like a trunk. Rather, it looks like branches branching off from the trunk. However, if these are branches, the trunk would be larger.
Han Kongque and Zhao Dayou both leaned over, intending to see the result. Because the main trunk of a small-leaf red sandalwood tree generally does not grow high, such a small-leaf red sandalwood tree is still very attractive.
If this is really a branch, the hollow one may be smaller. Perhaps this is the reason why the seller has the confidence to bet on this one.
"I watched it just now, but I still didn't have the courage to take action." Zhao Dayou followed Han Kongque all the time.
Han Peacock turned his head and glanced at Zhao Dayou, who was frowning, and said: "Just take action if you think it's right! Brother, you are also an expert, so you don't even have the confidence to give it a try, right?"
"The tree is nice, but the price is really good too! You'll know just by looking at it." Zhao Dayou pointed to a sign not far away.
Han Peacock took a look and found detailed information about this small-leaf red sandalwood tree. It was five meters six tall, with a maximum diameter at breast height of 62 centimeters and a minimum diameter at breast height of 22 centimeters. It weighed 1.32 tons and was worth 66 million rupees.
Such a price is 50 million rupees per ton, which is 5 million rupees per ton when converted into RMB. The price is definitely not cheap.
One kilogram of old material costs 5,000 yuan. If it is aniseed, you will make a profit. If there is a hole and the aniseed cannot be extracted, then you will lose it. However, if it is shipped back to China, even if you pay some compensation, it will definitely not be a lot.
.
It can also be seen from this that no one who comes to bet on wood is a fool. They have all calculated carefully and will only take action when there is no great danger.
"What does Brother Han think of this tree?" Zhao Dayou asked Han Peacock immediately after seeing the situation.
Han Peacock glanced at him. He had been following him. I'm afraid this was the ultimate goal, right?
However, thinking that Zhao Dayou really cared about him just now, Han Kongque shook his head slightly.
Ten Sandalwood and Nine Kongs are no joke. Although this red sandalwood tree looks good, it does have hollows inside. The internal conditions of these small-leaf red sandalwood soaked in water, under the perception of Han Peacock's water-controlling magical power,
There are no secrets at all.
Therefore, Han Peacock clearly sensed that the inside of this small-leaf red sandalwood tree was completely empty at the center of the tree, and there were many cracks. Although these cracks were not wide, with these cracks, this small-leaf red sandalwood tree,
It is absolutely impossible to solve any piece of wood.
You can't extract the boards, so you don't have to think about making furniture. With such a small-leaf red sandalwood tree, you can only make small handicrafts or bead strings.
There are several people betting on this small-leaf red sandalwood tree, and they all seem to be Chinese. These people are either professional bettors, or they are hired by hot money to bet on wood. For such people, Han Peacock can't say whether he likes or dislikes them. After all,
It's all about making money.
Although they are all Chinese, it seems that their efforts will be in vain, but they will not lose money after all. Therefore, even if Han Kongque knew the result, he could not tell it.
Seeing Han Kongque shaking his head, Zhao Dayou sighed and said nothing more.
"This brother doesn't like this small-leaf red sandalwood tree?" Han Peacock originally wanted to watch others saw the tree, but someone didn't want him to watch it too easily.
Han Peacock turned his head. It was a Chinese young man who spoke authentic Mandarin. Han Peacock said in surprise: "Talk to me?"
"Yes," the young man said with a smile on his face, "I guess my brother is Chinese, so I couldn't help but come over to chat with him. Don't you like that small-leaf red sandalwood tree? Since you don't like it, we are both Chinese, so why don't you go and remind us?
?”
At this time, the young man's words had already improved a bit, and everyone else was holding their breath at this time, preparing to see the results, so if someone spoke in the field, it could easily be heard by others.
The young man's words directly attracted a lot of hatred to Han Peacock, especially those young men who gambled on wood. One of them looked directly at Han Peacock with murderous eyes.
Han Kongque said innocently: "Brother, do I know you? How do you know that I don't like this small-leaf red sandalwood tree? This is a taboo. In this case, you can just think about it yourself, but don't
I didn't say anything when you pressed me, and if you say such taboo words outside, someone will probably hit you."
Han Peacock pointed at the young men who wanted to kill people. No matter what Han Peacock meant, it was inappropriate for this young man to say this, so Han Peacock began to remind him in good faith, but he also explained that it was this young man who was not optimistic about them.
Don't care about his affairs.
Although he didn't know what the young man's purpose was, Han Kongque didn't like this kind of hatred towards him, so he pushed the young man out regardless of whether it was intentional or unintentional.
What was said just now was indeed said by this young man, and Han Kongque did not say that he was not optimistic about the small-leaf red sandalwood tree. Therefore, several young men who gambled on wood immediately began to throw eye knives at the young man.
"Brother, why are you talking like that? I clearly saw you shaking your head just now." The young man looked at Han Peacock with more innocent eyes. Although his eyes were very clear, others saw his eyes full of accusations.
"Brother? I don't know you! However, even if I shake my head, can you think that I don't like this small-leaf red sandalwood tree? You seem to be an expert! I am a layman, so if you have any opinions, you can directly
I really don’t understand how I communicated with those brothers who gambled on wood in the past." Han Kongque said a little dull.
When Han Kongque saw that innocent and cute look, he felt a chill, so he also started to pretend to be stupid. Even if you are reasonable with such a person, you can't explain clearly.
It's really disgusting for a grown man to do such innocent actions. Of course, if it is a three or four-year-old child who says these words with an innocent expression, he may be able to attract Han Kongque's fatherly love. Even if this young man
.
Of course, it is most taboo to say depressing words in a wood betting scene, so the four people in the scene were extremely angry at this time. Even the owner of the small leaf red sandalwood tree was glaring at the young man fiercely, whether he was really innocent or not.
Fake and innocent, his words are all taboo.
Seeing this situation, the young man finally shut his mouth knowingly, but from his expression and eyes, it could be seen that he was full of grievances.
But no one was watching his performance at this time, because the electric saw had already been started, and the wooden planks were untied very quickly. Even a piece of wood that was almost six meters long was untied in less than a minute.
This time, we did not cut the wood into sections, but split it from the center of the tree, because the tree is very straight. If there is no hollow, we can take some boards up to five meters and six meters long, like this
You can use boards to make a large wardrobe or bed.
Soon the small-leaf red sandalwood tree was split into two, and the entire heart of the tree was completely exposed.
"What a pity!" Everyone who saw it sighed at the same time.
The exposed heart of the tree was completely empty, and it was exactly the same as what Han Kongque perceived. This small-leaf red sandalwood tree was not only hollow, but also had cracks. It was absolutely impossible to obtain slabs from such a material.
"Fortunately, I can still cut out some small pieces, so it's not a loss at all."
"Yes! But if you remove the customs duties, freight and labor, there won't be anything left."
“It’s good to maintain capital.”
"Now these Asans have learned well, and the profits have been made by them."
"Ten Tan Jiu Kong is really not a joke, the risk is really too great."
"Yeah! Let's just play with some ordinary mahogany. It's better not to touch this old material, red sandalwood." (To be continued...)
