I have a thousand suites in Shenzhen

Chapter 112 What should I do if I am mistaken?
However, when doing this kind of business, discernment is very important. Don’t make mistakes and be deceived.

Siamese rosewood in Laos is the most valuable because of its better texture. There are also Siamese rosewood in Vietnam, Myanmar, and Thailand, but the material is a little worse than Laos Siamese rosewood.

This is like Haihuanghuali and Yuehuanghuali. Although they are both called Huanghuali and belong to the same species, the price difference is huge.

In addition, Siamese rosewood is also divided into old material and new material. The older the material, the more valuable it is. The color of old material is generally dark red, while the color of new material is brighter red.

There is another kind called red rosewood, which is much cheaper than Siamese rosewood.

Therefore, when purchasing this kind of wood, vision is also very important, and you must not make a mistake.

There are also many varieties of small-leaf red sandalwood from different origins, and the price gap is also very large, which also tests one's eyesight.

For the first time, I took Yi Xiaoman and Yi Xiaolin to the largest mahogany market in Shenzhen Town. I bought some of all kinds of mahogany wood and taught them step by step how to distinguish the properties of wood.

First, look at the color and texture of the wood. Secondly, smell the wood. Use a saw to cut out some fresh sawdust and smell the unique smell of the wood.

In fact, experienced people can basically tell whether this is authentic material by taking a look and smelling it.

In addition, timber dealers who do business generally will not deceive regular customers. After all, the purpose of doing business is long-term cooperation.

As for strange guests, it’s hard to say.

However, it is better to be cautious when purchasing more expensive wood.

After all, Yi Xiaoman has been exposed to some mahogany species, so he still has some discerning skills and a strong receptive ability.

Although Yi Xiaolin has good carpentry skills, he has never been exposed to mahogany before. When he helped others build furniture in his hometown, he usually used camphor, fir, pine, maple, and other miscellaneous woods. For this kind of I don’t know much about imported mahogany.

But no matter how you put it, it is still a bit basic. Give him some time to get acquainted with it, and I believe he will be able to get started soon.

In addition to Indian small-leaf rosewood and Laos Siamese rosewood, there are many types of rosewood, such as Burmese rosewood, African rosewood, African blood sandalwood, Brazilian rosewood, red sandalwood, Dalbergia rosewood, Indian red rosewood, and Khmer pear. , ironwood, big-leaf rosewood, hedgehog rosewood, flower branch, black rosewood, white rosewood, red rosewood, chicken wing wood, rosewood, dark wood, black wood, golden nanmu, agarwood, beech, cherry wood, lychee Wood, bent willow, diamond wood, black mahogany...

Although the latter types of wood are not included in the category of mahogany, some factories will also make furniture made of these woods.

In addition, even if the wood is not in the mahogany range, it may not be cheaper than mahogany. For example, cherry wood is very valuable, not to mention golden nanmu.

"Boss, what's the price of your rosewood?" Yi Anguo walked to a pile of beautiful-looking materials and rosewood and said.

"Boss, how many tons do you plan to buy? If you want more, it will be cheaper!" The owner of the cargo said with a smile when he saw a buyer coming to ask for the price.

"At least dozens of tons, it mainly depends on your price!" Yi Anguo said with a smile.

"My Burmese rosewood is made from large materials, large sheets, so the price is a little higher than the school, it costs 8000 yuan a ton!" The owner of the cargo saw that Yi Anguo was relatively unfamiliar, and thought for a while and said.

"This price is too expensive! Authentic Burmese rosewood only costs a little more than 7000. I don't think this one is that authentic. It should be from Cambodia, right?" Yi Anguo shook his head and said.

"Okay, I didn't expect you to be an expert. You can tell at a glance that this is from Cambodia." The owner of the cargo said in surprise.

"Authentic Burmese rose pears are darker in color, while Cambodian rose pears are lighter in color, and only Cambodian rose pears are made into square materials like this." Yi Anguo said with a smile.

"You are right, but the material in Cambodia is larger, thicker and straighter. It is actually easier to get the material and more cost-effective." The owner also said with a smile.

"You are right, but the price of Cambodian rose pears is much cheaper than the authentic Burmese rose pears. Your price is too expensive." Yi Anguo said directly.

Before his rebirth, Yi Anguo had been making mahogany furniture for a long time after sending his daughter back to his hometown and fostering her in his eldest sister's home. He had come into contact with all kinds of precious mahogany, so he could basically tell the difference at a glance. Come on, what kind of wood is this?

If there is something difficult to identify, smell it again and you will be able to confirm it even more.

"Since you are an expert, I won't be lying. If you want more, I'll give you [-] tons, okay?" the cargo owner said simply.

"Five thousand and one tons, I want them all." Yi Anguo said simply.

In fact, what the owner said is not wrong. Cambodian rosewood is long, straight, and square. It is more cost-effective to obtain the wood and the price is cheaper.

When it is made into furniture, the color is slightly darker when painted. People who are not really knowledgeable will not be able to tell that this is a Cambodian rosewood, not an authentic Burmese rosewood.

Moreover, this is a real rosewood, and there is no fake rosewood, so there is no intention to deceive customers.

Plus the price is a bit cheaper, it’s still very good.

And Burmese flower furniture is relatively common among mahogany furniture. Because Burmese flower has a gentle character, is not easy to deform, and has strong plasticity, it is not prone to cracking during the seasonal changes of spring, summer, autumn and winter. phenomenon, so it is liked by many people.

Its wood is not particularly hard, so it is easier to process when making furniture. Master carpenters also like to make furniture made of Burmese flower material.

Although Yi Anguo suddenly cut the price of [-] yuan per ton, the cargo owner finally agreed without hesitating for too long. After all, Yi Anguo wanted it all, and he still had a lot of profits to make.

In a few years, Myanmar strengthened the export control of wood, and the price of Burmese flowers rose sharply. Cambodian rosewood also became very popular, and the rising tide lifted all boats. Although the price was still cheaper than Burmese flowers, it was very close.

Although it was Yi Anguo's first time to buy goods in this timber market, it was not that easy for others to deceive him.

As for the market conditions, you only need to read it once to get a rough idea.

There is more than one timber market in Shenzhen City, and there is also a mahogany market in Dongguan.

Yi Anguo took the two of them to various mahogany markets and bought a lot of mahogany.

By the way, I also bought some sea yellow rosewood. Although the price is not cheap, compared with the future price of 3000 million yuan per meal, if you want to buy it, you can't buy it, so the current price is not expensive.

There are not many real sea huanghuali, but Yue huanghuali can also be purchased.

It's just that Yuehuanghuali is not very common in the market, but if you have some, buy some. After all, the price of Yuehuang has not yet risen. When the price of Yuehuang rises in the future, it will be tens of millions per ton.The sea huanghuali is going extinct, and the yuehuanghuali is not far behind.

While Yi Anguo bought the goods on the market, he also asked the merchants to help him contact the purchaser. He could offer a price higher than the market price. Of course, the specific price was still needed. He would discuss the price after seeing the goods.

It is estimated that it is difficult to purchase sea huanghuali. It all depends on luck. The market price of good sea huanghuali at this time is already as high as several thousand yuan per kilogram, and several million per ton.

However, it is almost impossible to find tons of sea huanghuali for sale. They are all scattered, one piece of material, two pieces of material are sold, and a piece of sea huanghuali pellet may only weigh a few kilograms. The price is tens of thousands of yuan.

If you can come across tons of sea huanghuali for sale, you really need to be very lucky.

But for Yuehuanghuali materials, you can still buy some aniseed materials in tons and batches.

Relatively speaking, there is Indian small-leaf rosewood, which is more abundant in the market, and there is also large-leaf rosewood.

However, the smell of big-leaf rosewood is so unpleasant that some people with allergies may be allergic to it, so they may be left out in the future.

Its current price is much more expensive than Siamese Rosewood, but it will be much cheaper than Siamese Rosewood in the future.

There is still a relatively large supply of materials for Laos Siamese rosewood on the market, and there are also many large sheets.

But in a few years, this kind of large sheet material will basically no longer be seen on the market. The Siamese rosewood material in Laos, Vietnam, Myanmar and other countries has basically disappeared.

In order to find Siamese rosewood materials, especially old materials, because our Chinese people prefer old materials, these wood dealers specially hire people to find old houses in rural Laos to demolish.

The Laotians have also learned to be smart, so the prices are getting more and more expensive. The selling price of an old dilapidated house is almost the same as the price of a house in a medium-sized city in our country.

Yi Anguo told Yi Xiaolin that the purpose of calling him here was to be responsible for purchasing various precious redwoods in the future.

The main items purchased are small-leaf rosewood, large-leaf rosewood, Laos rosewood, and others such as sea yellow and Vietnamese yellow. If you encounter them, buy them and forget about the others.

Of course, the mahogany furniture factory will also open, but there is no rush.

In addition, it is not limited to purchasing in Shenzhen. You can also go to the border ports in western Guangdong Province.

Many timber dealers in the mahogany business are actually Vietnamese. The mahogany they get from Vietnam, Myanmar, Laos, and Thailand is cleared through customs in border port cities in western Guangdong and sold into our country.

Go there and do business directly with the Vietnamese timber dealers, and you can purchase larger quantities, better, and cheaper timber from them.

You can also visit the border port city in Caiyun Province. It borders Myanmar and Vietnam and is also an important channel for the import of rosewood.

"After listening to your introduction, I feel that this mahogany is really complicated! There are so many varieties, and the price difference is also very big. What if I make a mistake, make a mistake, and lose money? Then I'm really worried You're selling your wife, you can't afford to pay for selling your son or daughter!" Yi Xiaolin said as if his head was shaking.

"It doesn't matter. It's inevitable to make mistakes at the beginning. Once you accumulate experience, you won't make these mistakes." Yi Anguo said with a smile.

It is understandable that Haihuanghuali and Yuehuanghuali cannot be distinguished. Big-leaf rosewood and small-leaf rosewood cannot be distinguished, and it is understandable. Siamese rosewood and red rosewood cannot be distinguished, and it is understandable.

But you can’t think of red rosewood as small-leaf rosewood and small-leaf rosewood as sea huanghuali, right?

Of course, it's best not to make a mistake. After all, the price difference between big-leaf red sandalwood and small-leaf red sandalwood is many times higher.

But there will definitely be no loss in the end. After all, the best material for small-leaf rosewood is 15 per ton.

But by 2010, the market price of big-leaf rosewood had soared to 20 per ton, so you won't lose money if you buy the wrong one.

But don’t mistake Zambia’s blood sandalwood for India’s small-leaf red sandalwood. That would be a real loss.

But this situation is generally impossible to happen. If you go to the market to buy services, they will tell you directly that it is Zambian blood sandalwood, and they cannot tell you that it is small leaf red sandalwood.

In addition, the raw materials of Zambian blood sandalwood and the raw materials of Indian small leaf rosewood are clearly visible at a glance and can be easily distinguished.

On the contrary, after it is made into furniture, it is generally difficult for laymen to distinguish it, so many businesses use blood sandalwood to pass it off as Indian lobular rosewood.

However, in addition to Indian Rosewood, Rosewood is also found in other places, so it is easier to be confused.

But generally, it is impossible for merchants in the timber business to deceive customers who come to buy timber. After all, doing business also requires credibility. If people buy it and find that they have been fooled, they will definitely come back to trouble you.

It's not like you finish this business and then stop doing it in the future. Therefore, timber dealers in the timber market generally do not deceive customers. Blood sandalwood is blood sandalwood, and small-leaf red sandalwood is small-leaf red sandalwood.

And generally you can’t deceive customers, so why bother?
On the contrary, many mahogany furniture factories will deceive consumers by passing off quality products as precious mahogany.

The price difference between a piece of furniture made of Zambian blood sandalwood and a piece of furniture made of small-leaf red sandalwood is really huge.

The cost of a piece of furniture made of blood sandalwood is several thousand yuan, and the retail price may be less than 1 yuan.

However, the cost price of a piece of furniture made from Indian small-leaf red sandalwood may be hundreds of thousands, and the retail price must exceed the cost price.

In the face of huge interests, even if manufacturers do not deceive merchants, merchants may also deceive consumers and make huge profits from the price difference. That is also normal.

After all, businesses are all driven by profit. Consumers don’t understand and can’t tell the difference. If some businesses with bad intentions don’t deceive you, consumers, who are they deceiving?

As for the dealer in the timber market, he does not dare to deceive customers because the amount involved is too large. If the customer is deceived, he will definitely not let you go easily. Even if he files a lawsuit with you, he will definitely start a fight with you. In the end.

Therefore, when dealers in the timber market talk to customers, they will tell you directly that the real is real and the fake is fake. The real ones have real prices and the fake ones have fake prices.

Even blood sandalwood must be classified into high quality and low quality. For example, the blood sandalwood from Tanzania is different from the blood sandalwood from Zambia. It is much cheaper and has a much different density and oil.

You get what you pay for. There are cheap goods for cheap prices, and expensive goods for expensive prices. Cheap goods naturally have their own reasons for being cheap, and expensive goods have their own reasons for being expensive.
