Chapter 71 No Counter-Offer

Shi Lei stretched out his hand to find the person and begged for the string of agarwood again, looked at it carefully, put it on his nose and sniffed it lightly from time to time, and learned more about the agarwood.

"The dark part on the top is the oil of white wood, which is why agarwood is called agarwood."

Shi Lei returned the string to the man, and asked: "That means, the agarwood on the market today is basically artificial agarwood? Of course, there seems to be no difference between artificial and natural ones."

The man shook his head slowly, and said: "The first half of the sentence is correct. More than 90% of the agarwood on the market today is artificial agarwood. As an ordinary daily thing, there is no problem. But the difference between artificial and natural is still It is very large, and this is not an attribute that can be given by time alone. Natural agarwood, especially the inverted agarwood, is formed after years of water sinking and sand burial. The interior is relatively solid, and nature also helps us to remove the oil Or the part with less oil is directly eliminated, and what is left is the part with extremely thick oil. Ordinary white wood has a density between 0.4 and 0.6, while artificial agarwood has a short fragrance formation time, and merchants always Pursuing profit, it is impossible to let white wood continue to secrete oil, and it will be sold for money when it has some fragrance. Therefore, the density of such agarwood is difficult to exceed 0.8. But natural agarwood, especially inverted agarwood, Most of them can be sunk in water, so the so-called agarwood is named after this. The best agarwood is also called Qinan, which is formed by the transformation of agarwood oil. Where there is agarwood, there must be agarwood, but there is agarwood. The place may not be able to produce Qinan. This is another branch, and the doorway here is too deep, even I dare not touch it easily. Qinan is absolutely impossible to obtain through artificial means, at least not yet , so the price of one gram of Qinan is beyond the imagination of the world, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is dozens or even hundreds of times that of gold."

Shi Lei was dumbfounded, dozens or even hundreds of times of gold? Are you kidding me? One gram of gold is about three hundred yuan, wouldn't it cost tens of thousands of gram? How about hundreds of times? Shi Lei couldn't imagine it.

"Many businessmen in the market use all kinds of means to counterfeit Qinan against their conscience. I don't know how many people are fooled by it every year. Not to mention, just a little bit. The so-called Qinan in the market now costs only two to three thousand yuan a piece. Ke, at this price, experts know that it is absolutely impossible to buy Qinan."

Shi Lei hurriedly calculated his assets, one hundred thousand a week already made him feel that he was rich enough, but if he used this money to buy Qinan, wouldn't it mean that he could only buy a few grams a week?

Seeing Shi Lei's inexplicable surprise, the man smiled again, poured a new cup of tea for Shi Lei, and said slowly: "Don't be too surprised, little brother. If you are interested in Wenwan, don't start playing with Chenxiang. According to My suggestion, you'd better get in touch with some relatively cheap mahogany first."

"I know mahogany, doesn't it mean that mahogany is very expensive?" Shi Lei interrupted.

The man still smiled slightly and said: "The reason why mahogany is very expensive in the world's impression is because of two points. First, the mahogany that most people refer to actually refers to mahogany furniture, and even if it is not mahogany, a complete set Wooden furniture costs tens of thousands or even more than 100,000. In this comparison, the price of a set of mahogany furniture of hundreds of thousands is not too outrageous. And the second point, when people talk about mahogany, they think of HN huanghuali. The precious varieties of mahogany such as Indian red sandalwood naturally increase the value of mahogany in the impression. In fact, mahogany was only a collective name for red hardwood in ancient times. In modern times, in order to regulate the market, the country has regulated mahogany into two categories , five genera, eight categories, and thirty-three kinds. Chicken wing wood and all kinds of rosewood and various types of sandalwood are among them. Except for the often said HN huanghuali and small-leaf red sandalwood, other mahogany, as a cultural play, has a high price It’s not too high. For example, African chicken wing wood, most of the bracelets are only tens of yuan.”

Shi Lei suddenly realized, nodded desperately, and said: "There are so many other theories, I really don't know anything about them."

The man smiled generously and said: "Wenwan is a study utensil developed from the Four Treasures of the Study. Later, Buddhist and Taoist supplies were also added to it. There are various materials, and wood is only one of the relatively large branches. It is the life of these years. When the conditions are good, many people start to focus on all kinds of utensils, and then the antique market has been enriched again. Although it is called Antique Street, it is actually Wenwan Street. The antiques that are really old are basically going to auctions. , who will sell it here?"

Shi Lei only felt that he benefited a lot today, but literature and miscellaneous items are a huge category, and the knowledge involved in it is impossible for him to learn in a short time. What he cares more about is actually the price of Wenwan, which is related to the speed at which he will spend money in the future.

"According to what you said, the price of Wenwan here has a lot of water in it, right?"

The man nodded with a smile, and said: "Except for a few stores, most of the stores have inflated prices. It's hard to say the specifics, but if you are interested in buying two or two to go back, remember one thing, only the wrong ones are not the wrong ones." Yes, no matter how much the final transaction price is, it is impossible for you to take advantage of them, at best you can minimize their profit margins."

Shi Lei heard something else, and asked: "What about your place? How wet is your price tag?"

The man laughed loudly, shook his head and said, "Are you asking me so that you want me to kick you out? No one asks whether the price is too watery or not. Fortunately, you can ask me. Turned face. My store is unique in this street, probably the only one that does not negotiate prices."

Shi Lei nodded, of course he wouldn't trust this man's words completely, after all he is also a businessman, how could opening a shop not make money?

"I don't dare to buy anything when you say it like this. It's obviously being slaughtered. It's nothing more than how much you've been slaughtered."

The man shook his head again, and said with a smile: "You can't say that, it mainly depends on your understanding of Wenwan. You walk into a store at random, and don't care about the price at all. There is a basic value judgment for things. Then make an inquiry, and if the other party’s offer is not outrageous, you should counter-offer with him and try to get as close as possible to the price in your mind. For things like Wenwan, there is largely no accurate price. After all, there will never be two identical objects in this world, and some are only similar. Therefore, Wenwan Wenwan is related to culture, and secondly, it is also a mentality of play. The same object, different people’s hearts The value standard is different, the so-called good heart. If you like it, the price will be higher, and if you don’t like it, the price will naturally be lower.”

"You mean that if I want to buy something, I will never be able to show that I like it in front of the shopkeeper?"

The man laughed and said: "You can teach children, that's about it. However, the foundation of everything is that you have a basic understanding of these things. If you don't know anything, naturally there is no standard of measurement. Those If a profiteer doesn't kill someone like you, who will he kill?"

Shi Lei thought for a long time, and finally said: "You really never bargain here?"

The man smiled and said nothing.
