Master descends to earth

Chapter 204 Purple Qi coming from the east
"Haha, little Wuji!"

Su Yuan looked at the bustling market with people coming and going, and felt overwhelmed. This is Xiaowuji, one of the largest cultural and entertainment markets in Beijing, a holy place for Taobao.

After coming to the capital for a few days, I finally had the opportunity to come here. Ling Tiancheng didn't have time, so he followed Ling Junsheng for a stroll.

"Seeing how excited you are, the old man accompanied you to the market today, so you can't let me go home empty-handed?"

Ling Junsheng teased Su Yuan. He had long heard that picking up food was as easy as eating and drinking. Today, he had the opportunity to see it with his own eyes.

"No problem!" Su Yuan laughed loudly and said, "If you want to say that you are always an authority on ancient bronze books, you can come here, hehe, I guarantee you will return with a rewarding experience!"

The two of them started to visit the market with the crowd. The place is very big, there are street stalls and stores, and there are all kinds of things to buy.Bodhi is as small as a hundred yuan, and agarwood is as large as tens of thousands of yuan.

This is the biggest difference between experts and connoisseurs in the antique industry. The so-called experts are looking at real things. The collections in museums are all theories. If you really go to Panjiayuan, you can only be caught blind!

On the contrary, it is the experts who know the market best, and they are basically businessmen. They must use their hard-earned money with their hearts, and their eyesight is naturally more vicious.

There are a lot of bracelets in the market. Recently, Wenwan is hot. It seems that I am embarrassed to say hello to others when I go out without wearing a few strings of beads.For red sandalwood, there are three kinds of materials in circulation in the market. One is the real big materials and furniture materials, which are bought by big funds and stored for several years or even ten years.

Because wood is flammable, it is impossible to make furniture after evaporating the water in a few years, otherwise it will definitely crack.Aniseed materials can only be obtained at the tens of millions level. Now even if the price of red sandalwood drops, a ton will cost more than 300 million!

The second is house demolition materials imported from India, or materials for carriages and horses used in daily life. Some local people use red sandalwood as living utensils, and even early house girders like to use strong red sandalwood.

In the past two years, I know that red sandalwood is popular in China. Some people sell old house demolition materials for money. Many merchants hype that house demolition materials have good release properties and high density. The real thing speaks.

The third is the pure bead material from southern Fujian. No matter what size the material is, as soon as it reaches the hands of people there, the beads will be opened, from as small as 0.6cm to as large as 3.0cm. In one word, open!

Xianyou is the hometown of mahogany, and Cangzhou and Dongyang are known as the three major bases.Xianyou Bangtou Town is a street of bead bracelets. Eighty percent of the country's bracelets are produced here. They are all small family workshops, with stores in front and factories behind.As soon as the material came, everyone rushed to buy it, and the good material was gone in an instant, and the beads were sold everywhere when they returned.

In the past two years, India has also listed red sandalwood as a protected species, and any export is strictly prohibited. In fact, it is to monopolize resources and increase prices.Private red sandalwood is smuggled. First, people and horses are used to sneak red sandalwood through the borders of Nepal and other countries, and travel thousands of miles across mountains and rivers to the border of Guangxi Province. Only then can red sandalwood be produced in China.

"Boss, let's take a look! The materials that just came from India have everything!" Su Yuan stopped in front of the stall. The boss was a middle-aged woman with a Guangxi accent, and greeted the guests loudly.

Squat down, there are all kinds of materials on the stall, most of them are red sandalwood, most of them are strange shapes, sticks, cubes, random shapes, it all depends on the player's eyesight.The boss is an old fritter, collecting some cheap materials everywhere, and deliberately put dirt on it, which is a lot of gambling.

Picking up a piece of red sandalwood material casually, he asked: "Are these materials come from the border?"

When the woman saw the guests coming to the door, she said loudly: "Of course, don't worry, brother, it is absolutely serious to demolish old houses, choose whatever you want!"

Su Yuan moved his nose slightly, pointed to a pile of materials beside him, and asked, "These are also?"

"These..." The woman was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "These were given to me by a guy yesterday, and the quality is not bad. At worst, it's cheaper for you."

Su Yuan didn't say anything. He picked up two pieces of material and handed them to the woman. The woman took them and said, "Brother, you have really sharp eyesight! This one is very oily and has water ripples on its cut surface. It must be good. As for this one?"

She weighed another long black stick with her hand and said: "It's not bad in weight, it's heavy in hand, at least it's a high-density one! Sister will give you a purchase price! It's eight hundred in total!"

Su Yuan shook his head, and refused: "That water wave is fine, and the car can be bought for a price. This black one should be used for horses and horses. I don't know how long it has been stored, and the color has turned black. It can't be used to car the beads. It can be processed at most. A nunchaku for the kids to play with, I'll take the six hundred!"

It just so happened that another customer asked for the price, but the woman didn't insist on it, and it was sold for [-] yuan.Su Yuan took the wood and left, Ling Junsheng asked curiously: "Looking for leaks?"

"Qin material, good material returned from the island country, it is a small leak!"

Su Yuan took out a wet towel, wiped the black material carefully, and explained: "It's not only the qin material, but also the L material. The qin material from the island country has been dried by a special process, and the drying degree is comparable to that of ordinary red sandalwood materials of the same specification. ratio, the weight difference is about 10%-15%."

"This drying process is soaked in water for several years, then dried in the shade, and finally dried, so the stability is extremely high. This drying process has only been used by people from island countries who keep improving their craftsmanship."

"In 2010, a batch of old red sandalwood materials appeared in the market. At first, almost no players paid attention to the shape combination of this batch of red sandalwood materials imported from island countries. Later, after research by relevant people, this material was made by them for shamisen. Our name is Sanxianer. Raw material."

"The structure of Daoguo Sanxian is basically divided into three parts: Tenshin, the piano bar and the piano body. The high-grade piano bar is generally made of sandalwood rosewood from India, and the cheap ones are rosewood and other woods from Southeast Asia. In order to be easy to carry, they are all spliced ​​​​by three parts. They are called "upper pole", "middle pole" and "lower pole" respectively, which are the L material and C material that have been circulating in the market."

"The price of piano materials has increased from 4 yuan per catty to 500 yuan per catty in the past four years, and the top quality materials have reached 2000 yuan per catty. Last year, I saw a pair of super paperweights made of long piano rod materials on the Internet, with a length of 3000 centimeters. One of them The ox hair pattern is densely covered with gold stars and gold threads, which can be called the best piano material, and it sold for a high price of 73 yuan."

Ling Junsheng looked at the so-called piano material curiously. It was extremely heavy, with dense ox hair patterns on it, and it was the standard fine and short S-shaped ox hair pattern. There were many gold stars, and the stars were very beautiful.

Su Yuan smiled and said, "I'll make a paperweight for you when I go back, and play with it when I have nothing to do."

Ling Junsheng laughed heartily. To them, tens of thousands of yuan is not worth mentioning, but it feels very refreshing to pick up the leak with his own hands.Su Yuan is really powerful, and his ability to pick up leaks is well-deserved, which is a bit interesting.

The two continued to walk and look at it. Ordinary goods were not worth bending over to pick them up. If it weren't for the rare materials, Su Yuan wouldn't like them now, and just wanted to have fun.

After turning around, there was nothing to gain, Ling Junsheng grabbed Su Yuan and said, "There is a gourd seller in front, let's go, help me choose one for fun."
