ps: It’s the third update, are there any monthly tickets? Please support.
"You have smelled it too, it must not be the breath of flowers."
At the same time, Wang Guan chuckled and explained: "Even if there is a residual smell of flowers in the house, don't forget that the doors and windows of the house are open and the wind blows. The fragrance of flowers is very light, and no matter how much fragrance it is, it will be blown away by the wind, and there will definitely be no residual smell."
Everyone quickly looked at the situation in the house and found that there was a bamboo forest next to the house. From time to time, they could hear the sound of stroking, and they knew how frequent the wind was. Even if they were sitting in the house, they could feel the cool breeze, so everyone would feel comfortable.
Seeing this situation, everyone agrees with Wang Guan’s judgment. In this way, the question arises. If it weren’t for the fragrance of flowers, what would it be?
However, don't underestimate anyone. Before Wang Guan could explain, An Shengxian suddenly had his eyes lit up and he was shocked: "Agarwood, this is the smell of agarwood."
"By the way, it's agarwood."
In the audience, not only An Shengxian had used agarwood alone. After someone sniffed the breath, he immediately followed up and agreed to An Shengxian's judgment.
"The Buddha's niche is agarwood product..."
Someone revealed the answer, and others also reacted. After a sudden realization, they didn't feel strange.
After all, in Buddhism, agarwood is one of the main spices for bathing Buddha. Roses, Buddha statues, etc. carved in agarwood wood are precious magic tools. The incense made of agarwood is not only used to worship Buddha, but also a high-quality incense for meditation. Then using agarwood to make a Buddha niche is not rare.
Of course, the most important thing is that agarwood is indeed very precious. In the same amount, the value of agarwood is no longer priced compared to gold, but higher than gold.
Although agarwood is a wood product, the market is sold in a ton of mahogany and pineapple wood. Agarwood is sold in a pound. It is hard for ordinary people to imagine that a piece of wood can be sold in a gram, and the price is a hundred times that of gold, and it is even priceless.
"wrong!"
At the right time, some people were confused and confused: "Didn't it mean that agarwood generally has no smell and needs to be lit to smell the fragrance? Those agarwood with strong fragrance are soaked by black-hearted merchants using fragrance..."
"You're right, not right."
Wang Guan chuckled: "General agarwood does not have any fragrance, but there are exceptions. The higher the high-quality agarwood, the clearer its fragrance will be. This fragrance is very elegant, which is obviously different from the pungent aroma soaked in fragrance."
"That's right." An Shengxian nodded and said, "I have seen a kind of agarwood that is 30,000 yuan per gram. It can emit a cool and sweet smell when it is not burned, and the smell is very sweet and rich."
"Thirty thousand per gram?" One man was stunned: "Isn't that a hundred times more expensive than gold."
"Boss An should be talking about Qinan agarwood." Wang Guan explained: "If the most dazzling among the many gems is diamond, then Qinan agarwood belongs to the diamonds."
"Agarwood is an extremely rare and precious spice in nature. It takes a long time to form, usually several decades or even hundreds of years."
Wang Guan said in a casual manner: "The qiannan fragrance is a precious variety formed in high-end agarwood. It contains richer oil than ordinary agarwood, softer texture, sticky and tougher, and the scraped pieces can even be made into incense beads. In the Song Dynasty, the qiannan fragrance was already a piece of 10,000 yuan, and now it is only 30,000 yuan per gram, and it is not much higher."
"Is that Buddhist niche agarwood agarwood?" someone asked curiously.
"This is hard to say." Wang Guan shook his head and said, "It's hard to judge if you don't get started."
At the same time, everyone looked at Liu Huaen. Under his translation, Wu Gang shook his head and said no. However, it made many people disappointed and sighed. After all, they also wanted to see what a treasure that was worth ten thousand gold would look like.
Wu Gang laughed again and suddenly waved to signal.
"He told everyone not to disappoint. The scented nanmu is very precious and he couldn't buy it. However, he also collected a lot of excellent agarwood of excellent quality and invited everyone to visit." Liu Huaen smiled and responded first.
Others were also quite interested, so they naturally followed.
After a while, everyone came to another house. When they opened the door, they saw that it was very spacious inside. There were many things placed, just like a warehouse. Of course, it could also be called a collection room.
The things here are Wu Gang's collection. Many of them are Myanmar objects, including exquisite works of art, and dilapidated, very inconspicuous pieces. Anyway, they are mixed and mixed.
As for the precious agarwood, Wu Gang placed it alone in a cabinet. At this time, he opened the cabinet and everyone immediately saw seven or eight pieces of "rotten wood" placed on the top cabinet shelf. The reason why it was rotten was mainly because the material of these woods was loose and light and had no weight when picked up.
However, it is precisely these characteristics that show that these woods are agarwood.
You should know that although it is always said that agarwood, agarwood is actually not a kind of wood, but a solid aggregate of a special kind of fragrant trees, mixed with oil (resin) and wood components.
Generally speaking, the greater the density of agarwood, the more resin condensed, the better its quality. Then distinguish the grade of agarwood according to the degree of sinking into the water. When entering the water, it is sinking, which is the best submerged fragrance; half-floating and half-sinking are the stack fragrance; what floats gently on the water surface is the yellow and cooked fragrance.
People nowadays are very eager for quick success and instant benefits. They can't wait until the agarwood condenses into a submerged fragrance, so they can collect it in a hurry. The quality is naturally not very good, and the price will definitely not be very high.
Obviously, the precious agarwood that Wu Gang mentioned certainly does not refer to these. In addition, in the cabinet, which is the bottom layer, there are two or three relatively dense pieces of wood, which is the high-end agarwood.
At this time, Wu Gang took out all these things and distributed them to Wang Guan and others to appreciate. Looking at their praise expressions, Wu Gang felt very happy and grinned happily.
Anyone who says that language cannot communicate can't be communicated. In fact, facial expressions are the best channel for communication. Joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness are human nature instincts. The direct expression of this emotion is not divided into countries and regions. Besides, Liu Huaen, the translator, is also very dedicated, conveying everyone's praise to Wu Gang, which also makes his smile brighter.
“By the way…”
At the same time, Liu Huaen translated: "He was very happy that you could come to his house as a guest, so he decided to give you a gift, and everyone will have a share."
"Really?" Many people were surprised and their eyes began to circulate in agarwood and exquisite works of art in the warehouse.
However, it seems that Wu Gang is not the one who is sucker. After making this decision, he waved to everyone to follow him and walk to another larger warehouse next to the warehouse.
"ah!"
After coming to this warehouse, the person who was a little disappointed suddenly felt even more surprised.
Because there were stones in the warehouse, which were clearly the raw stone materials of jade. Then, before they could be happy for a few seconds, Liu Huaen extinguished most of their enthusiasm with one sentence.
"Wu Gang said that you can choose any stones below 50 kilograms here." Liu Huaen smiled and said, "As long as you pick them, I'll give them to you."
"Oh..." Many people sighed in their hearts, naturally a little disappointed. You must know that they just targeted those big stones that were at least three or five hundred kilograms.
“So much wool.”
At the same time, Wang Guan said curiously: "Is Wu Gang also a jade businessman?"
"right."
Liu Huaen nodded and said, "It is also one of the more powerful jade suppliers in this city. I will also participate in the public market tomorrow. The stones in front of me will also be displayed."
"What!"
Many people didn't care about any disappointment when they heard the sound. They calmed down and looked at it carefully. Moreover, the focus of the measurement was not small stones less than fifty kilograms, but those large stones worth hundreds of kilograms.
After all, these stones were to be displayed, but they saw the wool materials in advance, so they naturally had an advantage over other peers. They didn’t know that the one who seized the opportunity was the fool of Tianzi No. 1.
However, Wang Guan hesitated a little: "Didn't it mean that the jade merchant doesn't bet on stones themselves? Why...
Of course, it is not an absolute iron rule for those who sell stones to avoid gambling stones. However, most jade merchants really rarely participate in gambling stones because they are in this industry and know more about the risk of gambling stones.
I don’t know how many jade merchants are, but because they have no self-control, they can’t resist the temptation to cut the goods open, and they often lose all their money in the end. There are many lessons from the past, and jade merchants at home and abroad must take it as a warning.
"He is asking for a lottery."
Understanding Wang Guan's confusion, Liu Huaen chuckled and explained: "He usually doesn't gamble on stones, but he will participate in the public market tomorrow, so he specially selected a piece of wool that is very likely to produce jade to untie it, just to get a good start. And he didn't solve it himself, but he insisted on sending it to me, just because he was afraid that the stone would collapse and be intoxicated..."
"oh."
Wang Guan suddenly realized and understood why Wu Gang was so grand. Of course, he was also suspicious that Wu Gang asked everyone to watch this batch of wool materials in advance, probably not only as simple as hospitality.
Anyway, Wang Guan is sure that starting from the public market tomorrow, Wu Gang's batch of wool materials will definitely be popular. At least it is remembered by Jia Qin and others, so there is no need to worry about not being able to sell it. The stones sent out today will probably be earned back tomorrow.
However, even if you understand Wu Gang's intentions, everyone will be willing to be fooled. Since you come to participate in the public market, you will definitely spend the money, and it will be no problem for anyone to make money, and it will be beneficial to you, so everyone will be happy.
At this time, Liu Huaen kindly reminded: "Little brother, don't you go and have a look?"
"Well, let's go now." Wang Guan nodded slightly, and walked leisurely in the warehouse like a leisurely walk in the courtyard.
It is said that the three realms of Zen meditation by Qingyuan Xingsi, the master of Zen in the Song Dynasty, proposed the three realms of Zen meditation: at the beginning of Zen meditation, we saw that the mountains were mountains and water were water; when we realized Zen, we saw that the mountains were not mountains, and water was not water; when we realized thoroughly, we saw that the mountains were still mountains, and water was still water.
