Chapter 264 Ant Leak
Xia Yangyu was very depressed, and couldn't help but took out a cigarette, Li Yuekai quickly stopped him: "Sorry, you can't smoke here."

This is a timber warehouse, and after thinking about it, I know that smoking is not allowed, so Xia Yangyu could only suppress the depression in his heart, and apologized to Li Yuekai.

Wei Chengze said again: "Boss Li, I remember you still have a few agarwood logs here?"

Li Yuekai said: "There are three, but I keep them as souvenirs!"

As I said just now, Li Yuekai used to play wood gambling, and because he lost too much, he made up his mind to quit. At that time, he still left three agarwood logs in his hand. He was reluctant to sell them, so he decided to keep them as souvenirs. You can warn him not to forget about it.

Wei Chengze first complimented: "Boss Li, everyone knows that you are a very self-disciplined person. Even if you don't have those few pieces of agarwood, you will never bet on agarwood. Instead of letting them be dusty, you might as well sell them to us." .”

Li Yuekai was noncommittal: "Aren't you afraid of losing the bet again?"

"I've seen your few pieces of material, and I'm sure you can't lose."

Wei Chengze smiled: "How about it, we just need to choose one."

Li Yuekai pondered for a moment, and agreed. The reason why he agreed was because this matter happened to him. Even though it had nothing to do with him, it would have more or less influence when it spread.

Seeing that Li Yuekai agreed, Wei Chengze said to Xia Yangyu: "Xiaoyu, my thoughts are like this. I feel that I am somewhat responsible for this matter, so please ask Boss Li to sell us another piece of gambling material. Eighty percent, I will pay [-]%, if you win, it will be yours, if you lose, it will be mine, what do you think?"

Xia Yangyu did have some pimples towards Wei Chengze in his heart just now, but in this way, the trace of dissatisfaction in his heart disappeared. Comparing his heart to his heart, he should not be as generous as Wei Chengze.

Li Yuekai took people to choose agarwood logs, and Zhu Junda signaled Fang Hao to follow.

Because the things are more expensive, they are specially placed in a room, and the warehouse is guarded all the year round. It is safer to store them here than at home, and the environment here is also more suitable.

There are three agarwood logs left by Li Yuekai back then. After removing the wrapping film, the surface of these three logs looks rich in oil, both in terms of appearance and fragrance.

Li Yuekai indicated that Fang Hao and Zhu Junda could take a look if they were interested, but Fang Hao was not polite.

In fact, to judge whether a piece of agarwood is good or not, in addition to knowing how to observe the state of the surface, it is also a comprehensive consideration of various factors such as taste, specific gravity, whether there are scars, whether there are insects, etc. It is a matter of experience, but like Like gambling with stones, no matter how high your experience is, you will sometimes miss it.

In Fang Hao's memory, there are many materials and experiences of gambling with wood. If there is a chance, let's confirm it.

After a while, Xia Yangyu stood up, and Wei Chengze asked, "Did you choose?"

"Which one do you think is better?" Xia Yangyu didn't know what to do now, so he could only ask Wei Chengze for his opinion.

"This one." Wei Chengze pointed to the middle one.

Fang Hao also thinks the middle one is better, it seems that Wei Chengze is a bit level.

Li Yuekai said: "This piece of material makes up an integer, let's count it as 600 million."

Xia Yangyu felt guilty when he heard Li Yuekai's asking price. His current mood was a true portrayal of being bitten by a snake once and fearing the well rope for ten years. He was always worried about the material, but after thinking about it, Wei Chengze made a statement , If you try to be cowardly again, you will be looked down upon by everyone.

But just when he was about to agree, he suddenly realized that he couldn't get so much money out of his bank card now, so he pointed to the one on the left with a little embarrassment: "It's too expensive, this one should be cheaper Bar?"

Li Yuekai said: "This one is indeed cheaper, 380 million."

Wei Chengze pulled Xia Yangyu aside: "I suggest you choose the one I said. If you don't have enough money, I'll pay for it for you first. After you untie it, if you lose, it's mine. If you win, give me the difference." That's it."

Xia Yangyu chose the cheap one because of his face, isn't it still inseparable from it?

If he didn't want to lose face, he couldn't agree to it, so he said, "Forget it, I won't buy it. I've thought about it too, and I'm willing to admit defeat. It's because I'm not good at learning that I've suffered this. There's no need to waste money on it." Money, bet again. It’s okay to win the bet, but if you lose, isn’t that a waste of your money?”

Then he waved his hand immediately: "That's the decision."

Wei Chengze said: "Well, I respect your opinion."

Fang Hao learned of Xia Yangyu's decision, and glanced at Wei Chengze. He wondered if it was his illusion. He felt that Wei Chengze's expression just now was a little weird, but he and Wei Chengze had nothing to do with each other. Think more.

"Boss Li, can you sell me this piece of material?" Fang Hao pointed to the middle one. Since he wanted to verify the experience in his memory, he had better untie one. The 600 million was used to verify some experience, and he felt it was worth it. What's more, there is a high probability that this agarwood log will not lose money.

Since he promised to sell an agarwood log, it's not a sale to anyone, Li Yuekai agreed without hesitation.

Next to him, Zhu Junda was surprised to see that Fang Hao suddenly wanted to bet on wood, and wanted to persuade Fang Hao about the risk of betting on Chenxiang.

Li Yuekai called workers to move the logs out.

When Xia Yangyu learned that Fang Hao had bought this piece of wood, his mood became gloomy again, especially when he saw Qin Lewen's eyes falling on Fang Hao, he was even more displeased.

Xia Yangyu's relationship with Qin Lewen is more about her beauty. After a while, he will definitely get bored and break up with Qin Lewen, but that is in the future. If Qin Lewen falls in love with other men at this time, isn't it just for her? Does he wear a hat?He is not a shrinking turtle, so it is impossible for him to accept it.

It's just that his little thoughts can only be kept in his heart, it's not easy to explode, and he cursed with gnashing teeth, Fang Hao must lose!

Seeing that Fang Hao bought agarwood logs instead, a group of young people were very surprised, Xia Yangyu had to repeat what he said just now, as to whether everyone believed it or not, it was beyond his control.

Soon, the workers put the wood and started to cut. Fang Hao pointed to one of the places: "Start cutting from here."

"Ok."

With the sound of the chainsaw, the blade went deeper into the log bit by bit.

Li Yuekai noticed that Fang Hao had always been calm and confident, and was somewhat surprised. Is Fang Hao sure that he can gamble higher?Or should such a thing not disturb Fang Hao's mind?If it is the latter, it means that Fang Hao is definitely not in the pool.

"Wow! What is this? Why are there small holes in the cut surface!"

"This is a bug leak!"

"Bug leak? What do you mean?"

"The ancients divided the formation reasons of agarwood into 4 types: raw knots, mature knots, shedding, and insect leakage. 'Insect leakage' means that the oil secreted by the white wood incense tree must naturally protect the injured parts due to insects. The worm-eaten parts are covered by the oil naturally secreted by agarwood, and the agarwood formed in this way is called 'worm leak'."

At this time, Wei Chengze said: "This is not 'Chong Leak', but 'Ant Leak'!"

Ant leak is similar to insect leak, which is the incense formed after termites or black ants eat.Different from worm leaks, because ants like relatively damp places and generally build their nests underground, the place where agarwood produces fragrance is usually at the root of the tree.The roots of the tree are the nourishment of the tree, and the agarwood from the roots is usually very high in oil content and has a sweet taste.

The key is that the ants eat away at the roots of the agarwood tree, which can not only form agarwood, but also have the opportunity to form the top-grade Qinan!
At this time, Wei Chengze regretted it very much. If he knew this was the case, he should have done it just now, so he would not miss the opportunity to make a fortune.Now he only hopes that there will be no Qinan in the heart of the tree.

Seeing the cut results, Xia Yangyu was stunned, and his heart was full of annoyance. If he had known this earlier, it would be so embarrassing. Now that Fang Hao has been cheap for nothing, he was so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood.

In contrast, although Li Yuekai is also a little jealous of Fang Hao's luck, but such emotions are only fleeting. He has been in business for so many years, and he has never seen anything. It should be his own money, and no matter what else he wants It didn't work either.

Now, he pays more attention to Fang Hao's reaction, he is still so calm and doesn't care much, which he admires very much.
