Antique Dealer

Chapter 263
The young man next to Xia Yangyu laughed loudly and said, "Haha, Brother Ze, you are possessed by the God of Wealth today! You have increased by two yuan in consecutive bets, so it's hard to justify not treating guests tonight!"

Wei Chengze waved his hand, with happiness written all over his face: "Small matter, today I will take you to a Michelin restaurant."

"Haha, then we'll wait for the delicious food."

When the young man said this, he pointed to a larger piece of agarwood next to him: "Brother Ze, do you still want to cut the remaining piece?"

"This piece..." Wei Chengze may have earned two pieces of agarwood because of gambling, and he has already earned enough, so he doesn't really want to cut this piece, and he seems a little hesitant.

Xia Yangyu hurriedly said: "Brother Ze, didn't we agree just now that I should cut this piece of wood?"

Wei Chengze was a little surprised: "Do you really want it?"

Xia Yangyu nodded solemnly: "I'm not joking, I really want it."

Wei Chengze became serious: "Xiaoyu, I brought you here today just to see the excitement. You have never been in contact with gambling Chenxiang before. Don't watch me raise my bet twice, just get on top!"

Xia Yangyu smiled slightly, and said quite confidently: "Brother Ze, to be honest, I have been in contact with gambling Chenxiang before, and I have some experience."

Wei Chengze was a little surprised: "Why didn't I hear you say that?"

Xia Yangyu smiled embarrassingly: "The main reason is that the winners are not as many as the losers, so I'm sorry to say."

Wei Chengze said: "Since this is the case, are you sure you want to buy it?"

"Sure! I'm very optimistic about this piece of wood!" Xia Yangyu nodded heavily, thinking in his heart that since Wei Chengze valued this piece of wood, he should be able to bet on it.

Wei Chengze was silent for a moment, and then said: "Let me remind you again, the risk of betting on agarwood is very high. For example, I thought it was a very good raw material of agarwood, but after cutting it, I found that there were various impurities in it. The aloes left behind by the weight of the impurities are also insignificant.

Or, the original material is still submerged when you buy it, but after a period of time, it can’t be submerged. This attribute has changed, and the value has plummeted; There is no fragrance in the original material.And so on, it is likely to lead to loss of money. "

Xia Yangyu was somewhat touched by Wei Chengze's kindness: "I have no problem, even if I lose money, it's my own choice!"

"That's fine."

Wei Chengze looked at the wood on the ground: "I got this piece of wood for 428 million, so I'll count it as the price for you."

Xia Yangyu thanked him again and again, and felt that Wei Chengze was very interesting, so he quickly said that he would treat him tonight.

Wei Chengze smiled and said: "That's unnecessary, I've agreed to treat you, and I definitely can't break my promise."

Xia Yangyu didn't force it either, and immediately transferred the money to Wei Chengze, and then began to direct the workers to start cutting wood, nervously waiting for the result.

On the other side, Fang Hao followed Li Yuekai to an office, and saw the thick wood on the table.

"These three pieces of golden nanmu are old materials."

Li Yuekai pointed to the wooden board on the table and said: "It was originally bought by a business partner of mine who spent hundreds of thousands of dollars. Originally, in 13 years, he could sell it, and the price would be at a high level, and he could make a lot of money." , but he was greedy and felt that he could wait a little longer. Unexpectedly, the price of golden nanmu suddenly plummeted. When he wanted to sell it, he found that he could only sell it at a loss.

In a fit of rage, he simply didn't sell it.Half a month ago, when I was a guest at his place, I happened to see these three pieces of wood and thought they were good, so he asked me to take them away, out of sight and out of mind. "

The texture of these three pieces of golden nanmu wood is very good. The key is that they are old materials that have been placed for a long time. The wood properties have stabilized and are good materials for making plaques.

Li Yuekai asked Fang Hao for 8 yuan for three pieces of golden nanmu wood, and Li Yuekai only asked for 3000 yuan for rosewood wood.

Fang Hao asked Li Yuekai for help and sent all the wood to his antique shop.

At this moment, there was a faint commotion outside, and after a while, another worker from Li Yuekai rushed over, saying that something had happened.

Li Yuekai was very surprised, he was betting on agarwood, how could something happen?If you cause trouble because you lost money on a bet, that would be a joke. You can’t be happy if you win the bet, and complain about others when you lose the bet. There is no such reason.

But then, the staff told him that there was something wrong with the wood that was solved, and the wood might be fake.

Li Yuekai was taken aback, and called the staff out of the office, followed by Fang Hao and Zhu Junda.

A group of people came to the place where the wood was unloaded, and noticed that the faces of those young people were very ugly, especially Xia Yangyu, his face was ashen, and his eyes were about to burst into flames.

Fang Hao glanced at Qin Lewen, and fixed his eyes on the cut wood on the ground. If you don't look at the cut surface, the raw agarwood that catches the eye is really good, with rich oil on the surface, and the quality is top-grade. However, looking at the cut surface, except for the outer layer, The interior is still white wood, which means that there is not much incense.

This alone will not make these people angry. The main reason is that besides white wood, there are other substances in the cut surface, and this substance cannot be naturally generated by agarwood.

Everyone knows that agarwood belongs to the mixed condensate of mixed fat and woody ingredients. The higher the mixed fat content, the denser it is, and the more it can sink in water.However, sinking water can be faked. By pouring lead, injecting asphalt, or injecting oil with a density higher than water, the originally non-sinking agarwood can be made to sink into water, creating the illusion that it is a sinking grade material.

And the substance found in this piece of agarwood cut is exactly asphalt!

Li Yuekai squatted down, wiped it on the cut surface, brought it to his nose and smelled it, and he was sure it was asphalt.

Xia Yangyu tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Boss Li, shouldn't you have an explanation?"

Seeing Xia Yangyu say this, Li Yuekai looked a little surprised: "I'm just bringing the goods, how come this is my responsibility?"

Xia Yangyu was stunned: "Didn't you sell this log of agarwood?"

Wei Chengze explained: "I asked Boss Li to bring these three logs back from Vietnam, but at that time, I also told Boss Li, please help me to see if there is any problem, there is nothing wrong with that. Bar?"

"Yes, you sent me this sentence."

Li Yuekai did not deny it, but still said: "But my understanding is that you sent me the video and photos, I just need to look at the photos, and it will be fine if there is no problem. This log, and the video and photos should be Is it exactly the same?"

Xia Shali immediately criticized: "I'll let you see if there is any problem, just look at the video and photos? It's a good money to make!"

Li Yuekai calmly said, "You said I made money, so what kind of money did I make?"

Xia Shali was stunned for a while: "You didn't make any money? Who would believe you if you said that!"

Li Yuekai sneered: "Then you should ask Wei Shao how much he negotiated with Vietnam, how much is it now? To be honest, if it wasn't for my friend's sake, the money I charged would not even be enough for the shipping fee! "

Wei Chengze quickly stood up and explained to everyone that the money Li Yuekai received was really not much. this flaw.

In the final analysis, Li Yuekai has no responsibility at all. After all, Wei Chengze only pays a small shipping fee, so you can't let him bear the responsibility for the mismatch, right?

Thus, the conflicting parties shifted from Li Yuekai to Xia Yangyu and Wei Chengze, and the two fell into silence for a while.

Wei Chengze took the lead and said, "Xiaoyu, I'm really to blame for this matter, but how many times have I persuaded you just now to make you think carefully, but you still insisted on buying this log because you said you have rich experience. , am I right?"

Xia Yangyu remained silent. Indeed, after all, he saw that Wei Chengze won the bet twice, and he was jealous, so he insisted on buying the logs, but he didn't expect this to be the result. Thinking about it now, don't mention how regretful he is up.Moreover, Wei Chengze persuaded him several times and told him about the risks. In front of so many people, he couldn't bear to blame him.

The point is that he boasted of his rich experience, but in fact he just read some simple information. Isn't this result a slap in the face?He believes that in the recent period of time, he is likely to become the laughing stock of others after dinner.
