Chapter Eighty-Three: Rare and Famous Trees

"Haha...... , Mr. Wen is really joking!" The person in charge obviously heard Wen Fei's self-talk and laughed. [Femdom Queen]

Wen Fei was taken aback, it seems that such a habit of talking to himself that he has developed is really bad, and he must correct it in the future!

"In recent years, the furniture of the Ming and Qing dynasties has also been heating up, especially some precious woods such as rosewood, huanghuali and ......"

"Ahh

The person in charge was dissatisfied, and he felt that Wen Fei's brain was a little abnormal. However, seeing that Wen Fei is customer's face, it is not easy to care. I just heard Wen Fei ask loudly: "Then what about the price of the golden silk nanmu?" I'm talking about a whole root. ”

The person in charge is still quite familiar with Chinese antiques, and said with a smile: "It depends on whether the material is big or small." If it's a big material, it's naturally worth a lot of money!"

Don't forget it, last time Cai Jing said that he would give himself a house built of golden silk nanmu! In later generations, this kind of thing was naturally extremely scarce, but in the Northern Song Dynasty, it was really nothing: "What if you hug such a thick golden silk nanmu?" Wen Fei gestured.

The person in charge smiled in surprise: "That's a priceless treasure, you must know that this wood grows extremely slowly." At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the big material has been cut down, and the small material has not yet grown. If you really have it, then if you do it well, it won't be a problem to fry hundreds of millions of dollars!"

Wen Fei was overjoyed when he heard it, grandma's. I can't imagine that this kind of thing is so valuable. I'll just get three or five of them, and I'll solve all the funding problems, but it's just a matter of thinking. Although there were a lot of golden silk nanmu in ancient times, it was difficult to speculate on this kind of price if there were too many of them! At most, there were only two or three of them.

After thinking about it, Wen Fei ran back to modern times in a hurry. Directly find Cai Jing's house to ask for golden silk nanmu.

It's a pity that such a large piece of wood has also been transported from Yunnan, Guizhou, Huguang and other places. With such a tragic traffic situation in the Northern Song Dynasty, transporting a big wood to Tokyo City, at least not for a few months, but don't even think about it.

Wen Fei was dumbfounded all of a sudden, and finally finally found a piece of rosewood from the prison. It's as thick as a hug. Brought to Hong Kong, it immediately caused a sensation.

You must know that this thing is extremely precious, since the Han Dynasty, it is believed that red sandalwood is one of the most precious wood, and it is mostly used as a material for cars, musical instruments, high-end furniture and other delicate utensils, and the Eastern Han Dynasty has seen the record.

The Ming Dynasty court used red sandalwood to purchase in southern China at first, but due to the shortage of wood, it sent personnel to Nanyang on a regular basis. Therefore, a lot of red sandalwood is stored, because the red sandalwood grows slowly, it can not be made for hundreds of years, the red sandalwood of the South Seas was almost exhausted by the Ming Dynasty, and at the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, most of the red sandalwood produced in the world is gathered in China.

As of the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty. At that time, the vast majority of the world's rosewood was gathered in China. The red sandalwood used in the Qing Dynasty was all picked in the Ming Dynasty, there are historical records, the Qing Dynasty also sent people to Nanyang to pick the red sandalwood, but most of them are not thick and not full of grip, and the tune is not straight. It doesn't work at all. This is because rosewood grows slowly. It can't be made for hundreds of years, and it was cut down in the Ming Dynasty. The Qing Dynasty has not yet been resurrected, and the source is exhausted, which is also an important reason why rosewood is cherished by the world.

Westerners in Europe and the United States attach more importance to rosewood than in China, because they have never seen rosewood and think that it can only be used as a small object. It is rumored that there is a five-inch-long model of a rosewood coffin in front of Napoleon's tomb, and visitors are amazed and thought it is rare. It was not until the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty that Western missionaries came to China and saw many red sandalwood vessels, that they knew about the elite China of red sandalwood. So he bought it from many parties and transported it back to China. The red sandalwood artifacts that are now circulating in Europe and the United States are basically shipped from China. Due to the difficulty of transportation, they generally do not buy the whole piece of utensils, but only buy the cabinet doors, box surfaces and other those with patterns. After being transported back, it is installed in a wooden frame for display.

Wen Fei went to the Northern Song Dynasty, although the red sandalwood is still precious, but it has not been harmed by the Ming Dynasty, and it is not too rare. Wen Fei saw seven or eight in the prison, and he chose the largest one and sent it to the auction house for auction, which immediately alarmed the entire Hong Kong Island.

Finally let Wen Fei know that selling wood is more profitable than any business. In the Northern Song Dynasty, the wood that was basically extinct in later generations, such as these red sandalwood, and the Hainan Huanghuali, were basically cut down at the end of the Ming Dynasty. But in the Northern Song Dynasty, Hainan was still a barren land for exiles, and it is conceivable that these precious timbers are still waiting for Wen Fei to develop......

What's more, Wen Fei also saw another kind of precious wood in the prison, that is, golden silk nanmu. This wood is very famous, is our country's unique precious wood, but the vast majority of people have just heard of it has not seen, because since ancient times the golden silk nanmu is the royal special wood, in history the golden silk nanmu is dedicated to the royal palace, a few temple buildings and furniture, the ancient feudal emperor dragon chair throne should be selected high-quality nanmu zuò, if someone uses it without authorization, will be guilty of transgressing the etiquette system. The Ming and Qing dynasties strictly forbade the use of golden silk nanmu in buildings other than the royal family.

This kind of wood is almost extinct in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, which shows that I am brilliant and bright, just like locusts, and the rare wood of the whole Southeast Asia is almost tossed......

Sotheby's was overjoyed to see such a rare wood auction. Many times, auction houses like to auction off sensational, benchmarking things, even if they don't make much money. For example, this kind of golden silk nanmu, a royal honorable material, is almost extinct.

These things, those foreigners will naturally not be interested. But the Chinese at home and abroad are completely crazy, foreigners don't understand, they know how to do it! Such a big wood, not to mention anything else, can be made into longevity materials!

Although cremation is advocated in the mainland, burial can be said overseas. In fact, this kind of longevity wood made of golden silk nanmu is not rotten for thousands of years, and there are no insects and flies. Originally, it was the best longevity material, those rich and wealthy people in ancient times, which one of them didn't need this kind of thing to prepare longevity?

Therefore, as soon as the news of this auction spread, I don't know how much of a sensation it caused. This kind of auction house sometimes takes several months to prepare and take place, mainly for operation. Wen Fei couldn't wait, and first mortgaged tens of millions from the bank.

Wen Fei scraped together enough money, and he didn't stay in Hong Kong, and he didn't demarcate any business for Ren Lechen at all. I went back to the mainland first, ordered dozens of tons of rebar, and returned to the Northern Song Dynasty with a car first.
