God-level Golden Hand

Chapter 30 Ketan
Xu Jingxing took two quick steps, and squatted in front of this tree trunk to observe carefully. His face was expressionless, but his mood was constantly ups and downs, excited and a little apprehensive.I touched it a few times with my hand, leaned over to sniff it, and rubbed the cross-section of the tree trunk with my saliva. When I saw the red stain on my finger, I almost jumped up excitedly.

This turned out to be sandalwood!
Although it is not the best Indian small-leaf red sandalwood, it is also the best Ketan, that is, Côte d'Ivoire red sandalwood.

As far as he knows, Ketan is what people often call African red sandalwood, and the market price is quite high. If you want to buy it domestically, the wholesale price is between [-] and [-] yuan. If it is a large material, the price may be even higher.Although this price is nothing compared to small-leaf red sandalwood, it is considered one of the nobles in the wood market. For those who cannot afford small-leaf red sandalwood, Ketan is also a very good choice.

The wood of kotan is not as dense as the small-leaved red sandalwood, and it has no fragrance, but it has an advantage, that is, the color is beautiful.The furniture or carvings made of this material are particularly beautiful in color, bright red. The wood has a waxy luster, and after a period of time, the color will gradually turn dark red. Small-leaf red sandalwood also has eye margins.

Therefore, Ketan still has a market in China.

Xu Jingxing felt the weight of this section of wood sandalwood with his hand, and felt that it weighed thirty to forty catties. He secretly estimated that it should be able to sell for a thousand or eight hundred, or even higher.After all, [-] per ton is only the wholesale price, and the retail price is really uncertain. How expensive it is depends entirely on the mood of the seller.

But here comes the question, does old man Xu know that this section of material is expensive sandalwood?
If you know, then everything is easy to say, just buy it with your own money, anyway, it’s only a thousand dollars, and you can afford it; won?
For a moment, he was a little tangled and didn't know what to do.

After hesitating for a few seconds, he finally made up his mind, raised his head and smiled at Old Man Xu, "Uncle Xu, do you know what kind of material this is?"

"What? Could it be that the cash cow didn't succeed?" Old man Xu didn't care.

The corners of Xu Jingxing's mouth twitched twice, and then he smiled and said, "You're right, this is sawed off from a money tree," and then said seriously, "Master Xu, to tell you the truth, this is Ketan, and there are It is called African red sandalwood, and it is very expensive. It can be sold for more than 3 yuan per ton, and this section is worth 1000 yuan."

"What? Sandalwood? Red sandalwood?" Old man Xu opened his mouth wide in surprise, "Aren't you trying to make me happy?"

"Why am I teasing you? If you don't believe me, you can ask someone who knows how to do it," Xu Jingxing said with a wry smile.

"Can it really sell for 1000 yuan?"

"Exactly!"

"Then you want to?"

"Yes, of course, as long as you are willing to sell it, I will," Xu Jingxing of course wants it, he is short of this kind of material right now, the size is very suitable for woodcarving, not to mention that this is a relatively rare Ketan, made into carvings , without a five-digit offer, he would ignore it.

He thought beautifully, but old man Xu couldn't understand it, and looked at Xu Jingxing suspiciously, "I said, are you a fool, you can take it away if you just give me a few dollars, why did you tell me? Burning hands with a lot of money?"

When Xu Jingxing heard this, black lines instantly appeared on his face: This old man simply doesn't know good and bad, he took my good intentions as a donkey's liver and lungs, he just didn't thank me, and said I was stupid, so I wouldn't have warned you if I had known.

Of course, he thought so, but he couldn't say that. At this time, he could only bear the urge to curse and grinned, pretending to be indifferent: "If I do too many bad things, I won't be able to sleep at night. Yes," he said and added: "Of course, the most important thing is that you are not in business. If you take this thing to the street to sell it, I will definitely drive down the price at that time, and I will definitely not feel embarrassed. Unfortunately, You are not."

Old man Xu stared at Xu Jingxing for a few seconds, then nodded in satisfaction, "Young man is not bad, he didn't embarrass our surname Xu, hehe."

Xu Jingxing blinked, "What do you mean?"

"Hey, Xiao Xu, don't mind, I'm just going to test you and see how you behave," old man Xu explained with a smile.

test...

Xu Jingxing now has the urge to hit someone, and his kindness has already been planned by the other party.It's fortunate that I didn't do that kind of unconscionable thing, otherwise I might not know what would happen.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help rolling his eyes back, "I said, are you an old man who is full of food? What kind of tests are you doing? Do you think you are some kind of hermit who is picking apprentices? You are still testing me How about your character, I just bought some leftovers from you, is it worth it?"

Old man Xu was not annoyed either, "Hey, although I'm not a hermit expert, and I don't have any martial arts skills to teach you, but I can do business with you. Is it too much to test the other party's character before doing business?"

Buying and selling?

Xu Jingxing's eyes immediately lit up when he heard this word, as long as there is money to be made, what's the point of trying?It doesn't matter if you humiliate him, anyway, his only purpose now is to make money.

But he was a little skeptical, what kind of big deal could an old man with a porter do?

Seeing the doubt in his eyes, old man Xu snorted, "Young man, don't look down on people, what's wrong with the gatekeeper? You can't do business anymore? Tell me, can you make furniture?"

"What kind of furniture?"

"A set of mahogany furniture for my son's wedding."

hiss--

Xu Jingxing took a deep breath, a complete set of mahogany furniture, can you get it for three to five million yuan?Moreover, there are many types of wood in mahogany, including two families, five genera, eight categories, and 50 species. Rosewood is mahogany, chicken wing wood is also mahogany, huanghuali is mahogany, rosewood is mahogany, and the price gap But it’s big, if you use more expensive mahogany to make it, you will go straight to seven figures with all the work and materials.

Is this old man Xu still an invisible rich man?
Xu Jingxing sized up old man Xu, and couldn't help asking: "What kind of mahogany, let alone Ketan, a set of mahogany furniture made of Ketan, wouldn't cost a few million?"

"It doesn't matter what you do, just ask if you can make furniture," Old Man Xu waved his hands impatiently.

"Of course we can do it," Xu Jingxing gritted his teeth and said, but quickly added, "However, there is one thing that must be agreed in advance. When I make large items, I always depend on the material to calculate the wages. The standard is the amount of material. 15.00% of the price, that is to say, if the total price of your materials is 100 million, my wages will be 15, can you understand me?"
