Chapter 652

"Things are not so complicated. This matter is actually very simple. That is, which piece we like, you just ask for a price. There is no need to say the minimum price at the beginning. They are all mixed in this business. What is going on? It's all too clear, isn't it?"

Seeing Luo Jianghua's hesitant look, Fang Ming "hurried" another sentence, not only giving Luo Jianghua a step down, but also clearly telling the other party again, anyway, things are like this, if you insist on it, it will be a disaster. Don't blame me.

Song Miao looked at Fang Ming again at this time. In fact, she knew that she was the same as Lin Zuo. Because of her background, she often came into contact with "Hongru" people. There is no problem at all in dealing with people, but once you meet someone like Luo Jianghua, you often have nothing to do. This is not the case with Fang Ming, he seems to be able to deal with anything with ease.

For example, although I felt very angry with myself and Lin at the time, when I calmed down after returning home and thought about it carefully, I found that Fang Ming's strategy was very effective.

Looking at his strategy against Luo Jianghua at this time, it is also very effective.

"Such people are really powerful people. To put it harshly, it is called cunning, but to put it nicely, it is shrewd."

Song Miao thought to herself, but this also made her feel that it was getting more and more difficult for her to achieve her goal in Dongcheng Street.

This was something she hadn't thought of before coming to Dongcheng Street. Before coming here, she felt that with the status of the Song family in the antique collection industry, even if they couldn't monopolize this place, they could still get a big piece of cake.

However, after coming here, she found that this was not the case at all. She thought of many ways to no avail, and more and more found that Fang Ming was more difficult to deal with. This was not a good thing.

"Ha, well, you can say whatever you want."

Luo Jianghua thought for a while, and finally nodded.Although on the surface, it seems that what Fang Ming said is not much different from the reserve price he set before—in the end, no matter which piece Fang Ming or Lin Zuo likes, let him set the price himself. As much as possible.But in fact there is still a difference, because if the reserve price is set, it will definitely be higher than the reserve price. Let Fang Ming say this now, and things will be completely different.

"it is good."

Fang Ming nodded, turned to Lin Zuowei and said, "Boss Lin, the matter has been settled, I think... why don't you come first?"

Lin Zuo sighed secretly in his heart, he knew that he had already lost for a while before the competition, especially in such a large crowd.The only way now is to win in the next competition.

Now that Fang Ming told him to come first, Lin Zuo couldn't care less about being polite. The bet with Fang Ming this time was actually very simple, just to see who could find the best agarwood from Luo Jianghua. That is, whoever strikes first will be the one who nods. If it was someone else, Lin Zuo might not be so nervous, but at this time, he is facing Fang Ming!

Lin Zuo immediately walked in front of Luo Jianghua, and Luo Jianghua had already taken off the bag he was carrying, then spread a piece of oil paper on the ground, and put out twenty pieces of agarwood, Lin Zuo immediately I sat down and picked it up carefully.

At the beginning, Lin Zuo's expression was relatively calm. He had been playing with Chenxiang all his life, and he was much more sure about the identification of Chenxiang than other antiques. That's why he dared to compete with Fang Ming on this. However, when he saw Luo Jianghua's Chen Xiang in front of him, he felt that he really didn't have much confidence.

Agarwood tree has a characteristic, that is, the main root tends to hang down vertically, which can maintain water and soil well. At the same time, because it has the characteristics of repelling insects, it is also very good for the natural ecology, so many people are also developing agarwood tree now. to plant.

It should be noted that what we usually call agarwood is not a kind of tree, but the wood containing resin is formed after years of deposition. Generally speaking, it is a solid condensate mixed with resin and wood components. And the woods that can produce agarwood, such as Malay agarwood, Guanxiang tree, or Indian agarwood tree, have no special fragrance in themselves, and the wood is relatively soft.

An important feature to judge whether agarwood is good or not is to look at its density. The higher the density, the more condensed resin and the better the quality. This is why people use whether agarwood is sinking water or not. There is a standard: the more resin condensed, the denser the agarwood will be, so it tends to sink in water.

Generally speaking, agarwood can be divided into three levels. The first is of course agarwood. Such agarwood is called "Agarwood", and the second level is semi-submerged. This is called "Stack incense", or "Shuixiang" and the like, there is another kind that seems to float on the sand when it is slightly immersed in the water. This is also called agarwood, but generally it is called "huangshuxiang".

For this point, Lin is naturally clear, but theory is theory, and practice is practice. He has studied the agarwood for a lifetime. The experience is naturally very rich, but there is a problem that he found that the agarwood that the person in front of him took out There are quite a few of them that are of pretty good quality.

This is impossible.

Because if these agarwoods from the other party are real, then there is no need to sell them on the street.Of course, there should be some truth among these aloes. He knows these so-called baggers too well. The things in their pockets are often fake and one real, because only in this way can others choose alone. China Re uses language and other methods to deceive people, so that people will finally buy the fake ones.

Lin knew that what he had to do now was to find out which piece was real.

"Heh, boss, these agarwoods are actually pretty good, no matter which one you choose, they are all good things. For example, this chicken bone fragrance is pretty good."

Luo Jianghua looked at Lin Zuo who was squatting in front of him, and his heart moved. He knew whether he would be able to make money today or if he could earn all the money for the next month's drinks. As a young man, he felt that he didn't have many chances. From the way the other party talked to him, he knew that he was definitely the kind of person he couldn't afford to provoke.

In fact, Luo Jianghua belongs to the kind of person in the antique circle who shoots a gun to change a place. To put it bluntly or to put it a bit harshly, he is a liar who wanders the rivers and lakes. His experience over the years is really too much. Enriched, knowing what kind of people can be messed with, and what kind of people can't be messed with - people like Fang Ming belong to the kind of people who can't be messed with.

After realizing this, Luo Jianghua immediately flickered.

Shaking his head, Lin Zuo glanced at Luo Jianghua and said, "Oh, this thing..."

Regarding the piece of chicken bone fragrance that Luo Jianghua mentioned, Lin Zuo just glanced at it and then stopped.

Because agarwood is naturally formed, there are differences in size and shape. Many interesting names have appeared over the years, such as Yezixiang, which refers to agarwood that looks like a leaf, Guangxiang, This refers to the agarwood that looks like a dry and cracked stone. Generally speaking, this kind of agarwood is not used for playing or medicinal purposes, but for decoration. For example, it is called tooth incense, which is It refers to the relatively small volume of agarwood formed, like a horse's teeth.

As for the so-called chicken bone incense, it refers to the agarwood with a hole in the middle, just like a chicken bone.

Although Luo Jianghua said so, Lin, as such a veteran, would not be fooled.

Generally speaking, the width of a good agarwood is no more than ten centimeters, and the length is only a few tens of centimeters. After all, agarwood is naturally formed, and there will never be such a thing with a diameter of more than one meter.

Generally speaking, the texture of a good agarwood is more official, even harder than a stone, because it is naturally formed, so the surface is very uneven, and many times there will be potholes. Green or dark green, some are black or brown, yellow and so on.

In addition to identifying agarwood from these aspects, it should also be noted that agarwood is composed of resin and wood. The color of the resin part is relatively dark, and the wood part is relatively light. Generally speaking, it is light. Yellow and white, these two colors will form a variety of textures when mixed together.

The piece of chicken bone incense mentioned by Luo Jianghua has a smooth surface. This is one of them. Generally speaking, unless the agarwood is for a special purpose such as carving, it will not be polished. The piece Luo Jianghua mentioned The surface of agarwood is very smooth, but in terms of shape, it remains in a relatively primitive state, which is impossible.Moreover, the feeling is not right when you get started. Most people used to use agarwood because it was made of resin, and they all said that the more oily agarwood, the better the agarwood. In order to deceive the layman, some fake agarwood will use some methods Put some oil on it, it looks like there is a lot of oil, and it is the kind that feels oily when you touch it.it's out of the question.

Although the real agarwood said it looked full of oil, it felt like touching oil lumps when it was used, but there was no oil on the hands.

Of course, this seems to be very simple to say, but without rich experience, even if you get started, you will not be able to distinguish the real texture of agarwood. After all, this is the era of high technology, and many things are high imitations. It can't be more imitated.

Lin Zuo had touched a lot of agarwood, so when he touched the piece of chicken bone incense that Luo Jianghua said, he knew it was fake.
