Chapter 228 The inheritance of one hundred million
Chapter 228: The inheritance of 100 million
Old redwood not only takes a long time to grow, but also has been washed for hundreds of years after being felled.
The old mahogany mentioned today generally refers to the mahogany imported from Nanyang in the mid-Qing Dynasty. The old mahogany wood is wider, has slender brown eyes, and has a specific gravity between red sandalwood and huanghuali.
Its level of preciousness and rarity is second only to the golden nanmu, but Uncle Long has seven of them here.
Now Liu Dong's nerves have become numb after seeing so many precious woods that are extremely rare and have almost disappeared from the market. So after seeing this precious old redwood, although he was surprised, he was already
I wasn't as shocked as I was at the beginning.
Further down from the old redwoods, there are new redwoods. However, compared to the old redwoods, which are only twenty or thirty centimeters in diameter, these new redwoods are not only thicker in diameter at breast height, but also much larger in number, with more than fifty roots.
After the new mahogany, the next step is the black rosewood, which mainly includes big-leaf rosewood, also called Lu's black rosewood and broad-leaf rosewood, also called South American rosewood. Uncle Long has collected nearly two hundred pieces here, all of which are
The kind of aniseed that is more than ten meters long and has a diameter at breast height of more than one meter.
After that, there are some other precious woods of the genus Sandalwood and Ebony that have gradually appeared in recent years, such as red sandalwood, also called small-leaf red sandalwood, Aubergine rosewood, Burmese rosewood, etc. These woods are generally in the two categories.
There are hundreds of logs, and they are all made of aniseed with a diameter of more than one meter. In the two-hundred-meter-long collection, I think this kind of wood accounted for more than two-thirds. In total, there are at least more than two thousand logs.
.
But the combined value of these two thousand pieces of wood is not as good as the most precious ones at the front! They are just a reserve made by Uncle Long for the future. After all, it is easy for wood like these to grow to such a big size.
It will only be possible in a hundred years.
Although there are a lot of them now and the price is cheap, but when there is less of this kind of aniseed material, if you want it, the time, energy and money spent will be dozens or even hundreds of times as much as it is now.
"Okay, you've finished looking at my wood collection! How do you feel?" After the two of them came to the end, Uncle Long turned around and asked.
"Complex, shocked, envious, and a little bit jealous!" Liu Dong said honestly.
"Haha, okay! This is the feeling I want!" Uncle Long said with a smile.
"Xiaodong, I will come with you in a few days. In addition to letting you put the jadeite, I also have two main things. The first is to let you get to know my disciples. The second is to let you see what I have done.
Wood collection!”
After finishing speaking, the old man's nostalgic gaze slowly swept over the wood again, and then he said with emotion: "When I go abroad, all the wood I collected will be handed over to you!"
"Uncle Long, I...!"
"Wait until I finish speaking!" Uncle Long waved his hand.
"Of course I can't give it to you for free. Just give me 100 million and treat it as if you bought it from me!"
After listening to the old man's words, Liu Dong was extremely moved. According to the old man's collection of precious wood, not to mention 100 million, if it were to be sold, it would be sold for 200 million, and even more if it went up for auction.
"Uncle Long, one hundred million is too little. I can't take advantage of you! Otherwise, I'll give you two hundred million. If that doesn't work, two hundred million is still too little. How about three hundred million!"
"Haha, that's it! I know you are making money by betting on stones now, so you don't take two or three hundred million seriously. But if I ask you for 100 million, I want 100 million. I'm an old man with half my neck buried in the ground. I want so much.
What's the money for? Besides, my son makes no less than me!"
"If I didn't know that your boy has the same bad temper as a stubborn donkey and I gave it to you for free and you definitely didn't want it, I wouldn't want a hundred million!"
Of course, I can't take it for free. If Liu Dong really accepts it, he will have to deal with it on his own conscience. With such a huge debt of gratitude on his back, he won't be able to sleep well at night.
"Xiaodong, I'll sell you 100 million, and I have one more condition that you need to agree to!" After saying this, the expression on the old man's face became serious.
"Uncle Long, if you have any orders, just tell me! As long as I can do it, I will never refuse!"
After listening to Liu Dong's words, the old man nodded happily.
"In this furniture factory, I have 36 apprentices, 216 apprentices and grandchildren, and some 258 orphans I adopted. Plus some of my apprentice's family members and Zhou Jun and the others, the total is 658 people. I
I hope that after I go abroad, you can still let them work and live here. If they don’t make any big mistakes, don’t drive them away! Can you promise me?”
Seeing the earnest look in the old man's eyes, Liu Dong nodded heavily, "Don't worry, Uncle Long! I promise you! I will never drive them away!"
These people have been nurtured and taught by Uncle Long, and they are all good at making antique furniture. They can't be hired outside. How could Liu Dong drive them away!
Moreover, he also plans to make the brand of Taiyige high-quality handmade wood carvings bigger and stronger. This is when talents are needed, and those who master traditional woodworking skills are the most valuable talents.
"Okay, I believe you won't break your promise!" The old man happily patted Liu Dong on the shoulder.
"Absolutely not!" Liu Dong said firmly.
"Yeah!" nodded, "Xiaodong, you should go here more these days. You have a car anyway! Come here a few more times and get familiar with Zhou Jun and my apprentices.
Now you understand it clearly! It will also make it easier for you to take over the factory in the next step!"
"I plan to go abroad on August 10th! So in the ten days I am here, I will try my best to help you get familiar with Taiyi Pavilion and all the personnel, operation models, and sales channels of this furniture factory."
"By the way, tomorrow, you go to my Taiyi Pavilion again. Remember to go early! I will introduce to you some of the wood carving techniques that we have been cooperating with in Taiyi Pavilion. After I leave, you can
You have to contact them yourself!”
"Oh, this matter is really complicated to deal with. I should explain it clearly to you earlier!" At this point, the old man showed a trace of annoyance on his face.
"Don't worry, Uncle Long, I will do my best in these ten days to master the operation process of Taiyi Pavilion as soon as possible!" Liu Dong said seriously.
Originally, he was thinking that after the Quancheng Stone Gambling Fair ended, he would go find the person contacted by Mr. Li and repair the "Crane Painting" and Huang Binhong's "Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" for himself. "It seems that I can only find opportunities in the future."
Got it!"
"Well, as long as you have confidence!"
"Let's go out!"
By the time the two of them came out of the warehouse, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon. Zhao Zhiguang and the others were still fast asleep because they had been drinking so hard at noon.
Seeing this, Uncle Long said hello to Zhao Zhiguang's wife Guo Huifen and drove away with Liu Dong.
When Liu Dong and Uncle Long returned to Taiyi Pavilion in the antique city, Mu Gang had already walked over with the mobile phone that Liu Dong had left here to charge.
"Xiaodong, someone called you two or three times just now, but the name was too hard to pronounce and I didn't remember it. Take a look!"
"Yeah!"
After answering, Liu Dong took the phone over. Then he checked the caller ID and found that it was an unfamiliar number.
"Xiaodong, if you have anything to do, go ahead and do your work! Just remember to come early tomorrow!"
"I understand, Uncle Long! Then I'll leave first!" After saying hello to Mu Gang, Liu Dong took his cell phone and walked out.
After thinking for a moment, he dialed the unfamiliar number. Less than two seconds after he dialed the number, the other party was already connected!
"Is it Mr. Liu Dong?"
"It's me, who are you?" Listening to the joyful voice of the other party on the phone, Liu Dong felt a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it before.
"Great! Mr. Liu Dong, I am Vichai Sawang Susi, do you still remember?"
"Oh, I remember you!" On the first day of the stone betting competition, the nine pieces of wool he bought for the ninth time in a row were bought from this Burmese man named Wichai Sawang Sussi, so he still has an impression of this person.
Pretty profound.
"What? Mr. Wichai Sawangsuthi called me. Is there something wrong?"
"Yes, Mr. Liu! I have a big business here that I want to discuss with Mr. Liu. I wonder if Mr. Liu has time for us to have a meal together in the evening?"
"Big business!?" Liu Dong was stunned. He was not very familiar with this Burmese man, but the curiosity in his heart still made Liu Dong want to hear what the big business was in his mouth.
Perhaps feeling Liu Dong's silence on the other side of the phone, Wei Guai, Sawang Suxi and others hurriedly continued: "Mr. Liu, this is the jadeite rough business. I'm sure Mr. Liu is interested."
"Jadeite!" Liu Dong's heart moved.
"Mr. Wichai, it just so happens that I still have some time at night...!"
"That's great, Mr. Liu! I'll book a banquet at the Crown Hotel at eight o'clock tonight. I hope Mr. Liu will come by then!"
"Yes! I understand, I will be there on time at eight o'clock in the evening!" Afterwards, Liu Dong chatted with the other party for a few more words and then hung up the phone.
Although Liu Dong didn't know what the wool business of Wichai Sawang Susi included. However, Liu Dong, who was planning to open a jewelry company and was interested in raw jadeite, was still very willing to listen.
Looking at the time on the phone, it was not yet six o'clock, and there were still two hours until eight o'clock in the evening. It was still very early. Liu Dong also found it troublesome to have to go out again after returning home.
"Why don't we just go shopping in this antique city? I haven't been there for a long time. Maybe I can find something interesting!" Liu Dong quickly made a decision in his mind.
August is one of the hottest months in Dongshan Province, so people who usually go shopping will go out at five or six o'clock. Of course, people who come to the antique city are no exception, almost every day from 5 pm to 9 pm
The antique city is the most lively before 10:00. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
