The next morning, Yin Ze came uninvited, but was stopped by Guiying's team members!
Wearing a nightgown, Bai Jinyan looked at Yin Ze outside the courtyard with a cup of authentic Blue Mountain coffee, and said sarcastically, "Officer Yin came early, what's the matter, can't wait to visit my villa?"
Yin Ze curled his lips. On the way here just now, he had roughly seen the appearance of this villa area. It is no different from other wealthy areas. It smells like copper everywhere. What's so interesting about it!
However, he saw a ferocious shepherd dog tied up in the courtyards of several villas. When strangers walked in, the appearance of bared teeth and mouth was very daunting. Presumably those thieves would be far away when they saw it. to avoid.
In fact, Yin Ze doesn't know that in this kind of villa area with strict security, keeping these things is not entirely for the purpose of preventing theft, but more to reflect a status symbol. In some private luxury villas in big cities, Some even keep large carnivores like panthers and alligators.
"Your villa isn't anything to see, I'm here to pick up Lisheng!"
Yin Ze folded his arms and said outside the villa!
Bai Jinyan drank his Blue Mountain coffee in one gulp, and then said, "What car did you drive here?"
Yin Ze was stunned for a moment, then said, "BMW Seven Series, what's wrong?"
Bai Jinyan smiled lightly and said, "That's considered a car? If Li Sheng took your broken car, I don't know how uncomfortable it would be. I never let my woman be wronged. Come with me, you drive my car Walk!"
After finishing speaking, Bai Jinyan handed the coffee cup to the maid, then walked out of the courtyard door, and walked to another villa next to it!
There used to be other people living here, but because Bai Jinyan felt noisy, he drove them all away, and then used the villa next to him as his garage!
After following Bai Jinyan into the villa, Yin Ze couldn't help but his eyes lit up. It wasn't that the decoration inside was so luxurious, but it was very distinctive. There was a huge mahogany screen about two meters high facing the gate. It was divided into two parts: Twelve leaves, carved with dragons and built with phoenixes, well isolate the room from the outside world.
Going around the screen, Yin Ze found that the area of the hall was about fifty or sixty square meters, and the surrounding walls were all inlaid with a kind of purple wood, and exuded a faint fragrance , people's mood becomes quiet unconsciously.
The furnishings in the hall are also very simple. They are all old-fashioned antique furniture. The only reason they are called antique is because these furniture seem to lack the atmosphere that has been precipitated by time. If you look carefully, you can see that they are newly made. Yes, there is no trace of modern electrical appliances in the entire hall. As soon as he entered, Yin Ze felt a sense of time and space change, as if he had returned to the residence of the ancients hundreds of years ago.
Yin Ze looked intently at a red sandalwood square table beside him, and found that there was no trace of wear and tear, which also proved that although the materials used for these furniture were very precious, they were made in modern times.
"How about it, Officer Yin? Don't you think it's very old-fashioned? For these red sandalwood furniture, I have spent a lot of thought."
Bai Jinyan's tone revealed a hint of pride. When he bought this villa, he spent about 100 million RMB and three bullets, but he only spent 3000 million RMB on decoration. Most of the money was spent on these rosewood!
These are the top-grade big-leaf red sandalwood that Bai Jinyan personally bought in Southeast Asia. These red sandalwoods have disappeared in many places. Bai Jinyan spent a lot of thought to buy them from some people at a high price, and then bought them again. Please go to the skilled carpenter to create it.
Today, in order to show off in front of Yin Ze, Bai Jinyan also specially brought Yin Ze to this place to let Yin Ze see what is called a rich man and what is called a gangster leader!
"It's really a big deal!"
Yin Ze's compliment came from the bottom of his heart. Although he hated Bai Jinyan very much, he also lamented the spectacular scene. He reckoned that the red sandalwood furniture alone would be worth several million, but He didn't know, he still underestimated the value of these objects.
Red sandalwood is a kind of hardwood that grows one inch in a hundred years. At present, there are very few mature red sandalwood trees in the world. A Chinese red sandalwood table made during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty in the 18th century!
In 1994, at an auction held by Sotheby's Auction House in the United States, it was sold for a sky-high price of more than 3500 million US dollars. The so-called "inch sandalwood inch gold" is not an exaggeration, and its value far exceeds Yin Ze's imagination. Yes, even if it is not an old antique from the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the price is extremely expensive, and it is not affordable for ordinary people.
Red sandalwood is a hard and heavy wood that sinks in water. The utensils made of it do not need to be painted to show a natural dark brown color. In addition, the place of origin is remote and it is extremely difficult to make wood. Therefore, it has been hailed as the "king of wood" in the past. In the dynasties before the dynasty, even if they were the royal family, there were only a small number of small and exquisite chess games, scrolls, singing boards, and small frames with a small amount of materials.
After Ming Chengzu Zhu Di came to the throne, in order to publicize the prestige of the country, he sent the eunuch Zheng He to lead the fleet to the West, and loaded the ship full of tea, silk and other gifts, and presented them to the countries he visited along the way. The hull is much lighter, and ballast tanks are needed for fear of not being able to withstand the wind and waves at sea.
Zheng He and others found that purple wood in some countries was very solid and heavy, so people cut down this wood for ballast. After returning to China, some royal families and nobles began to use these "ballast wood" to make furniture. The wood is strong and hard, and it is not afraid of water and insects, so it became more and more popular, and then began to be harvested on a large scale.
There used to be red sandalwood in the Guangdong and Guangxi regions of the south, but because of the scarcity of the quantity, it was quickly picked up. After that, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty sent people to Nanyang to buy it. According to the records: "By the end of Ming Dynasty and the beginning of Qing Dynasty, all the Most of the red sandalwood will be collected in China and stored in Guangzhou and Beijing. The Ming Dynasty was excessively harvested, and the Qing Dynasty has not yet recovered, and the source has been exhausted."
In the middle of the Qing Dynasty, Qianlong also sent people to Nanyang to purchase sandalwood, but most of the red sandalwood trees were too rough to handle and had not yet matured, so they had to give up.
Therefore, the red sandalwood wood used by the royal family in the Qing Dynasty to make furniture was the inventory of the Ming Dynasty royal family. Later, sandalwood was in short supply to the point where it had to be purchased from private merchants at high prices. The red sandalwood must not be let go, all of them were bought and handed over to the Royal Weaving Organization. From then on, the wood privately hidden by the people was also searched clean!
After Cixi's 60th birthday and Emperor Guangxu's wedding, there was not much wood left in Da Nei, but it was all used up by Yuan Shikai, who was restored to the throne.
Before the Qing Dynasty, people in Europe and the United States always believed that red sandalwood was not expensive and could only be used as small utensils. Even in the early Qing Dynasty, a large number of Western missionaries came to China and were amazed by the many large red sandalwood wares. So many parties bought it and shipped it back to the country. Due to the inconvenience of communication, it was difficult to transport the whole piece, so I only bought components with patterns such as cabinet doors and box surfaces, and installed wooden frames of other materials for decoration. Now in the hands of some foreign collectors, there are many. There are some rosewood items from that time.
Moreover, the production of red sandalwood furniture is quite time-consuming. If you want to make particularly high-end red sandalwood handicrafts, each utensil must be handmade. A large piece of furniture often takes seven or eight years to complete by more than a dozen craftsmen, but like this hall The objects in it are not too big, and the production process is not particularly complicated.
There is a saying in red sandalwood production techniques of "one chiseling, two engravings, seven grinding". Repeated rubbing with knotted grass and fine gauze until it is as bright as brocade is considered a success.
When Yin Ze first entered the door, he judged the age of the red sandalwood by the degree of wear and tear of the red sandalwood, but he didn't know that the well-maintained Ming and Qing red sandalwood furniture, compared with the newly built red sandalwood, looks like a piece of wood from the outside. Not much to give up.
"It's good to know the big money. Only when Li Sheng is with me can I live the most quality life, so please don't show up in front of Li Sheng in the future, otherwise you will be very dangerous, Officer Yin!"
Bai Jinyan said to Yin Ze with a cold expression!
Yin Ze naturally knew what Bai Jinyan meant. He really wanted to arrest Bai Jinyan and put him in prison, but he knew that now was not the time to act rashly. Evidence of a crime, so there is no way to convict directly!
As for the Bai family, if there is no way to convict them, if they arrest the members of the Bai family, then those who participate in the arrest will really be punished very severely!
Yin Ze smiled and said, "You don't necessarily have money to be happy. You have so many red sandalwood here, do you want to be a red sandalwood dealer?"
Bai Jinyan sneered and said, "I feel more like the king of red sandalwood, showing my treasures to a frog at the bottom of the well!"
The "Red Sandalwood King" he said is the curator of the China Red Sandalwood Museum, a Chinese rich woman worth more than 50 billion. Bai Jinyan once entered the red sandalwood warehouse that the rich woman collected, and saw thousands of exquisite pieces. The red sandalwood table, bed, case, few!
It was also after Bai Jinyan saw the red sandalwood collected by King Zitan that he moved his mind to make the living room of this villa look like this, because red sandalwood also has a magical effect of nourishing people. After a long time of contact, it is harmful to the body It is very beneficial. For example, when Cixi ordered people to build red sandalwood furniture, the yellow teeth of some craftsmen who participated in the project became particularly white. An old craftsman in his 70s turned his white hair to black. There is a hint of mystery.
Because the decoration of the villa is exquisite and expensive, and Bai Jinyan doesn't like to show off, so the number of people who have been to Bai Jinyan's villa is definitely not more than ten.
Wearing a nightgown, Bai Jinyan looked at Yin Ze outside the courtyard with a cup of authentic Blue Mountain coffee, and said sarcastically, "Officer Yin came early, what's the matter, can't wait to visit my villa?"
Yin Ze curled his lips. On the way here just now, he had roughly seen the appearance of this villa area. It is no different from other wealthy areas. It smells like copper everywhere. What's so interesting about it!
