Chapter 4 Old Iron Head?

Sanhong refers to other mahogany, such as chicken wenge, ironwood, etc., which used to be large in quantity and not high in price. However, as raw materials become increasingly scarce, it has become a hot commodity now. The most basic four-wood and one-door furniture costs at least hundreds of thousands.

So the market is full of rosewood materials. After all, there are still some in India, so there are more large materials. Don’t even think about the big materials of Huanghuali. Not to mention here, you can’t see them even at the Xiaowuji Market in Beijing. This is because things are rare and expensive.

Wen Yiming walked and smelled, constantly looking for the unique flavor of rosewood materials. He had a minimum standard, with a profound and distant aura. Rosewood was known as a shorter thousand years ago and had the characteristics of nine out of ten trees. Therefore, those with strong taste, heavy moisture, and insufficient stamina are all new materials and have no investment value.

"pity!"

He picked up a piece of material, sniffed it hard, shook his head and said, "The smell is quite thick, but it is obviously hollow inside, and there is a slight smell. It should have been eaten by insects, otherwise it would be a good piece of material!"

With the comparison of the Venus material in his hand, Wen Yiming was very enthusiastic and the material was not worth taking action, so after a long round, he had no other gains.

"Hey, it seems that this batch of ingredients is not good, the good ingredients are getting fewer and fewer, huh? What does this taste like?"

Just as Wen Yiming was about to give up and leave, a strange fragrance suddenly came from afar, which shocked him. He quickly walked over and came to the innermost corner of the market.

“Agarwood!”

"Is there agarwood today?"

Wen Yiming's eyes lit up. He saw thirty or forty white wood piled on the ground, and was very excited. He didn't expect to meet agarwood today?

Agarwood refers to the wood species of the Agarwood family. There are generally three types that can truly produce agarwood. China is Wanxiang wood, with its main production areas, Qiongzhou and Guancheng, and there are also a few in southern Yunnan.

Then there are the honey-scented wood species of Hui'an, mainly in Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand and other places. With the decrease of agarwood in Qiongzhou, they have become the high-end mainstream market.

Finally, there are the Eagle Woods of the Sin Chew series, which are concentrated in several island countries, such as Malaysia, Brunei, Kalimantan and other places. They are called second-tier production areas, but there are many fine products among them.

"Boss Fei, what else can I hesitate about? These batches are all good goods that have just been shipped from Nha Trang, especially the one in your hand, 100% iron head!"

There were already many people around here. It was rare for agarwood to appear in Chenzhai, and many experts came to watch the fun. Wen Yiming slowly approached the crowd and happened to see the merchant talking to a fat man with big ears. The other party was holding a piece of wood tightly in his hand, with a little hesitant.

The fat man frowned and looked at the wood in his hand carefully. It must be a Nha Trang product. It should be a piece of branch that was damaged by external forces and smelled. Looking at the black oil shell thickness of the broken mouth, the iron head would definitely not be able to escape!

"What an old Tieto? A rare good guy!"

"I didn't expect to see the iron head of Yuka for more than 20 years today?"

"Hey, at least 100,000 yuan, this kind of goods are rare!"

The boss was a dark and thin man. When he heard the people around him talk, he said with satisfaction: "Did you hear it? Everyone is an expert. If you hesitate, you might get the advantage of others!"

"This..." The fat man took a deep breath. He naturally heard the comments of the people around him. He picked up the wood with his left hand and took out a knife with his right hand. Just as he was about to take action, the thin man suddenly snatched the wood with his hand and said dissatisfiedly: "This is not authentic. It's said it's a gamble, but it's just based on his eyesight. Once the knife is used, it becomes a clear material. So why are you still gamble?"

"Don't get me wrong!" The fat man snatched the wood, grabbed it tightly like a baby, and said loudly: "Don't you ask about my reputation as Lao Fei? You can't understand this rule!"

He weighed the wood with his hand and said in a deep voice: "The material is good. It is a big open Nha Trang product. The oil shell is thick enough. It is barely iron head, but the texture is soft. It is not enough when you see the ashing time!"

He picked up the wood and showed it to everyone and said, "The taste is a bit pungent, the sweetness is not enough, and the bitterness is strong. Don't you believe it?"

As he said that, he was about to smell it for the onlookers. The thin man's face changed. He snorted coldly: "You are a master of being a good person. Without further ado, we know whether the material is good or not! The price is 150,000 yuan, and the material is yours!"

"Fifteen thousand?"

Lao Fei frowned and curled his lips and said, "It's too expensive. This piece of 150,000 bet is not worth it! I'll take it away at 80,000!"

"Eighty thousand? Then you might as well go somewhere else!"

The thin man sneered and said loudly: "Na Trang Old Tie Head, the oil shell is so thick, once you go to the bet, at least twice as much! If you are lucky, then..."

"100,000!" The fat man's face changed when he heard this, and he quickly said loudly: "100,000, I want it!"

"Ten hundred and twenty thousand, no penny can be lost!" The thin man smiled and shook his head, looked at Lao Fei holding the wood tightly, and said proudly: "Lao Fei, listen to me, there will be no chance to miss it! We are also old acquaintances, and it is not a loss to bet on this piece of material for 120,000 yuan!"

As he said that, he was about to reach out to take back the wood from the fat man's hand. At this time, the fat man gritted his teeth, waved his forcefully, and said loudly: "Don't move, I want it!"

He quickly took out 120,000 yuan of cash from his bag, looked at the thin man with a greedy expression, and said dissatisfiedly: "You guy 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 are a big player and have courage!"

The thin man quickly took the money, checked it quickly, and said proudly: "Wealth and honor are in danger, and the bet is eyesight. Don't worry, this material is definitely worth the money. I congratulate you on getting rich in advance!"

Lao Fei nodded, his face calmed down, looked at the wood in his hand, and said with satisfaction: "Hmph, I will accept your noble words. If you have any old materials in the future, remember to find me and leave!"

The onlookers looked at the fat man's back as he turned around and left, and couldn't help but talk, "Who is that fat man? I'll give him if he says it's tens of thousands?"

"Nonsense, don't you know him? Boss Fei, the famous antique city, is nicknamed Fatty!"

"Is it him? I have heard of his name. There are several shops in the Antique City, claiming to be worth over 100 million yuan. He still knows agarwood?"

"Is this amateur? Don't look at him as fat, but he is also well-known in the incense circle. Otherwise, he would be so stupid that he would just throw more than 100,000 yuan in gambling?"

"The rich, the rich can play with the agarwood!"

Wen Yiming listened to various comments in the crowd, watched the fat man leave his back, and shook his head. The powerful Boss Fei must be hit this time!

He had long noticed the so-called old Nha Trang material. It looked very thick on the outside and the taste was authentic. But Wen Yiming knew it was all superficial!

When I smelled the nose, I felt that the wood was simply white, in other words, there was no fragrance at all! The fat man sold only the oil shell on the surface, which was at most two or three centimeters thick.

Even if all of them are high-quality agarwood, the maximum value is 20,000 to 30,000 yuan according to the number of grams. The poor Boss Fei will have to waste it at least 100,000 yuan!
