The next day, a piece of news spread among the treasure pickers:

A mahogany furniture was found in the Vendet Warehouse Company. One of the company was surprised and contacted a Chinese mahogany expert to identify the authenticity and value of mahogany!

The more exciting news is that the mahogany experts recognize the authenticity of mahogany in the warehouse and give a very high valuation. Therefore, the warehouse company does not intend to auction these warehouses.

Li Du heard the news while having breakfast, and then called the warehouse company's auction receptionist and said angrily: "We protest that the warehouse company cannot withdraw the warehouse that has been released!"

Warehouse companies can withdraw warehouses that are placed on the auction list because some leasers will be greedy for cheapness and renew their contracts on the last day of the contract expiration, and such warehouses will not be auctioned again.

But this time the warehouse company was very depressed. They did not intend to withdraw the warehouse on the auction list, so they said, "Hello sir, we will not withdraw the warehouse that has been released..."

"You can't do this. We came to the auction because there are many warehouses to be auctioned this time. If you withdraw seven warehouses, what's the point of participating?" Li Du said indignantly.

Hans said angrily to the treasure picker who was in the same hotel: "Everyone call the warehouse company and must not let them do this!"

The treasure-picking people took out their cell phones, and then the warehouse company's auction hotline was blown up.

In the restaurant next door, Rick and his son, Boer, York and others came down to have breakfast and then prepared to attend the auction.

Entering the restaurant, they saw a middle-aged Chinese man having a meal with a white man.

Rick didn't know this Chinese, but he knew a white man. He was the logistics manager of Vendet Warehouse Company.

When both sides arrived at the restaurant, the middle-aged Chinese were almost finished. The food on the table was very rich and a bottle of high-quality Mexican tequila was placed.

Sweeping off a piece of stewed sticky veal, the middle-aged Chinese man stood up and said, "Mr. Powell, I'm glad to get to know you. We have a pleasant exchange. Goodbye."

The white man smiled happily and said, "I am also very happy to know you. Thank you, Mr. Liu, your knowledge is so profound."

The middle-aged Chinese man smiled and said, "You are too famous. I just know something about our Chinese architecture and furniture art. If it can help you, it would be great."

Finally, he waved his hand and the middle-aged man left the restaurant.

Rick stared at the back of the middle-aged Chinese man for a while, then shook his son and whispered: "Go, follow him and see what's going on."

Rick left, and he walked towards the white man and smiled, "Powell, my old friend, it's a coincidence to meet you here, what are you doing?"

Powell wiped his mouth with a napkin and said, "Eat breakfast, someone just invited me to have a great breakfast, which is really good."

Boer also came over and asked, "Mr. Powell? I'm very happy to see you. I'll introduce myself. My name is Frank Boer, a professional treasure picker..."

Powell shook hands with him, and he complimented him casually. At this time, the phone rang and frowned and said, "What? Who's the news? Okay, let me go back and see what to do."

After hanging up the phone, he said to Pole and Rick: "Sorry, two of you, there was something unexpected happening in our company. I have to go back quickly. I'm very happy to meet you and talk back."

"Talk back." Rick nodded with a smile.

Powell hurriedly left, Powell looked at Rick and said, "What's going on?"

Rick's eyes flashed a few times, and then said, "Mr. Boer, do you know why this auction attracted a lot of people?"

Boer is a veteran treasure picker. He came here for storage and auction this time, not just to show off to Li Du.

So when he heard Rick's words, he said, "Will there be a batch of mahogany furniture appear at this auction?"

Rick nodded and said, "Yes, there is a batch of mahogany furniture, but I wonder if you have received deeper news? This batch of mahogany furniture has problems!"

Boer asked vigilantly: "What's the problem? I only got the general information. Do you have any detailed information?"

Rick said: "Yes, I once contacted the warehouse administrator here and got some photos."

Speaking of this, he became a little proud: "You know, Frank, everyone has their own territory, and Arizona is mine."

Boer knew he was demonstrating to him, and sneered, "What about?"

Rick continued: "Then I handed the photos to a mahogany collector who thought the furniture might be fake."

The United States is a country where the whole nation collects, furniture collection is an important branch, and mahogany furniture collection is an important branch in furniture collection.

Since the Opium War in 1840, more than 10 million Chinese cultural relics have been lost to countries and regions such as Europe, America, Japan and Southeast Asia. Among many Western history museums, the figures of Chinese classical mahogany furniture can be seen everywhere.

Even in museums in the United States and Britain, the storage of rosewood furniture in the Ming and Qing dynasties in China exceeded that of the Forbidden City, and the classical furniture in the Forbidden City had about 10,000 pieces.

From this we can see how much mahogany furniture has been collected by foreign countries.

In addition to museums, there is another interesting saying that the western United States dug many caves 100 years ago. They stored nearly tens of thousands of pieces of Chinese classical furniture in these constant temperature caves so that they could stay in future generations.

Of course, whether it is a museum or a cave in the western United States, it contains famous mahogany furniture, such as the Huanghuali throne of Emperor Wanli of the Ming Dynasty, which is located in the Danish Museum.

However, unlike other national treasures, most of the mahogany furniture and craft products exposed to the West are not through robbery means, but free trade and auctions.

Including Emperor Wanli's throne of Huanghuali, a Danish collector got his money at Sotheby's auction and was finally dedicated to the National Museum.

Therefore, in terms of redwood collection, it is not convenient for China to come forward to seek repayment, which has increased the popularity of related collections and created many collectors.

Anyone who collects mahogany supplies must have a deeper understanding of mahogany. Rick contacted such a person to help him analyze the authenticity of these mahogany furniture.

He had already concluded that these mahogany furniture were fakes, but with this matter in front of him, he was no longer confident in his judgment.
