Redwood identification is a very complex discipline. It took a long time and used many methods to identify redwood just by placing small leaves.

What the two taught Li Du and Hans was physical identification methods.

For example, look at the distribution of pipe holes on the cross-sectional surface.

If it is a real red sandalwood, the diameter of the pipe holes in the entire growth wheel is slightly equal and distributed evenly, otherwise it is a fake red sandalwood.

You can also look at the growth wheel and observe it on the cross-section of the wood. Unlike other woods, the growth wheel of the small-leafed red sandalwood is not obvious, which is an obvious feature.

In addition, you can check the material color of the board. The new section of the small-leaf red sandalwood is orange-red. Over time, it will turn into dark purple or black purple, and will also have light and purple-black stripes.

After watching the two demonstrate these identification methods, Hans was stunned: "Is it too complicated?"

Bart shrugged and said, "Oh, now I'm only half of the introduction. Come on, I'll continue to introduce it. The following is to judge through smell."

"The small-leaf red sandalwood has a unique fragrance when rubbing with objects, similar to the sandalwood smell, but is lighter. Especially after a quick file with a file, the taste is stronger."

Hans continued to be stunned: "..."

People as studious as Li Du finally gave up studying. It was too difficult and too testable to experience.

Take the knife cutting technique during observation as an example. It requires one-size-fits-all cut out the cross-section and no return to the knife.

After some complicated examination, the identification was from noon to evening before the result came out.

Li Du bet right, these woods are real mahogany!

Not only these woods, but also the wooden boards obtained in Warehouse No. 46 are also real mahogany.

There are eight mahogany in four wooden boxes. The most precious one is the most complex small-leaf redwood that is identified. This is a real mahogany from India, weighing nearly 400 kilograms and is of great value.

There are also black rosewood, black-shaped wood, Laos red rosewood, Southeast Asian white rosewood, etc. Eight woods cover eight mahogany varieties, all of which are real.

After receiving the appraisal, Hans and Li Du slapped heavily and shouted excitedly: "Thank God, we are so lucky! Oh, no, Li, you are so awesome!"

Li Du nodded, Well, this is a human word.

The two then discussed that the Trun Redwood Pavilion clearly only has fake furniture, but why does it contain precious real redwood? And they haven't taken it away yet?

No one knows the real answer. The two people's guess is just like Li Du's initial guess. Although the Redwood Museum is making fakes, they are making high-end fakes.

The counterfeit mahogany furniture in the warehouse either uses the craftsmanship and bleaching method with superb counterfeiting, or it is used for leather fraud.

Among them, real mahogany is needed when the veneer is fake. They did buy some real mahogany at a high price and use some of them, and some of them are useless and put them in the warehouse.

Later, the Redwood Museum made a lot of money by auction. In order to prevent problems from being discovered, they immediately left Holbrook after making money.

The remaining unused real mahogany was placed in the warehouse with the counterfeits. For some reason, the counterfeiter did not take them away, and did not come to take them away again.

In this way, the warehouse lease contract ended and the warehouse company auctioned them.

Hans asked the two to estimate the woods. The most valuable one was the small-leafed red sandalwood, with a market price of US$100,000 per ton, and a value of about US$40,000.

The second is the big red rosewood, which is priced at around 20,000 US dollars per ton. This piece of wood has 500 kilograms and can be sold for 10,000 US dollars.

Other mahogany is relatively low in value, most of which are less than 10,000 US dollars a ton, which can be worth about 30,000 US dollars together.

Li Du made a conclusion and found that all the mahogany was worth more than 80,000 yuan, which was not bad.

Hans was a little disappointed and said, "Isn't mahogany very expensive? Why are most mahogany not valuable?"

Antonio shrugged and said, "This is the market price. Some are indeed very expensive. Chinese huanghuali wood can sell a ton of US$1.5 million, and Vietnamese huanghuali wood can sell a ton of US$200,000, but you don't."

It often takes hundreds or thousands of years to make huanghuali wood. This kind of wood is extremely rare and the furniture made is extremely expensive. There are many people who like it, and they may not buy it.

Perhaps this is the reason that the Redwood Museum does not make fake Huanghuali wood furniture.

It may also be that the mahogany restaurant can't find real huanghuali wood to cover it, so it didn't make fakes.

Li Du said his guess, and Hans said in confusion: "No, when the first warehouse was opened, didn't some people say that Huanghuali wood appeared?"

"They guessed nonsense, do you really believe those people's words?" Li Du said angrily.

The profit of 80,000 yuan is not big, but it is always better than not making money. Of course, it is better to live in the trap of Boll and Rick. Thinking about it, Rick lost more than 100,000 yuan, which is really miserable.

Hans was looking for a buyer of mahogany. During the period, Li Du was going to Boston. He had to send the dodo skeleton specimen, but the other party offered a high price of one million!

He didn't want too many people to know about this, so he took Godzilla and Dao to Boston, without Hans.

If he wasn't worried that the other party would deal with him for one million, he wouldn't even want to take these two people with him.

Boston is the capital and largest city of Massachusetts, and the largest city in the New England region in the northeastern United States.

This city is located along the Atlantic coast of the northeastern United States. According to the American geographical classification, it belongs to the eastern region, while Arizona belongs to the western region.

Li Du has never left Arizona, and this trip to the east made him quite nervous.

However, Boston has good security. It is an old city. It was founded in 1630 and has a very strong status in the United States. Even American history began with this city.

The birth of the United States originated from war, and the fuse of this war was the Boston Tea Pour incident.

Li Du learned these history in middle school, got on the plane, and introduced them again in the brochure of the plane, and also had a Chinese introduction manual.

There are many good universities in Boston and its surrounding areas, and a large number of Chinese students live here, so there are also many things about Chinese.

Li Du is very interested in geographical knowledge and history and culture around the world, which is also the reason why he flew to Boston to trade. Otherwise, a more secure approach would be to invite the other party to Flagstaff City.

The taxi drove from the airport to the city, and then Dao asked him to park, and they walked into the city.

Li Du asked, "Why do you have to walk?"

"The city is very compact, suitable for walking and not driving, especially the Beacon Hill area we are going to, which is the oldest and most prosperous city in Boston's history."

Li Du didn't care about walking, but they carried the dodo specimen skeleton. This thing was nearly one meter high and was too big.
