Start with buying a house

Chapter 30 Cooperative Acquisition of Haihuang Rosewood

"It's a long story. When I first got married, my husband's family was very poor, and we lived in a boat house before liberation, with thatched roofs, which are rarely seen now!" a Li woman explained. said.

"My natal family has many brothers, so they went to the mountains and cut down many trees and came back to let my husband's house build a house and make furniture.

After the wood was brought back and the houses were being built, the government came and said that they wanted to build houses for the people in our village in a unified way, and the buildings were built without beams. "

"Since there are good houses to live in, and the government built them for free, of course we still live in high-rise buildings."

"The house that was already under construction was used to raise pigs and cattle. Later, people were invited to come to the house to make some furniture, but they didn't need so much wood. The rest were piled up here. It's been 20 years."

"So, according to what you said, don't you use this kind of wood to build houses and make furniture in your village?" Ouyang Dehe said a little excitedly.

"That's not necessarily the case. My elder brother said that this kind of material is not common. They happened to find a piece of it on the mountain, so they chopped it all and brought it back to the village. There must be other people in the village, but there shouldn't be many.

This kind of material is heavy, hard, and oily. Many people don't like it. Master carpenters don't like to use this kind of wood to make furniture. It's hard, oily, and the workmanship is slow.

The only advantage is that there is a kind of clear fragrance overflowing during the workmanship, which is quite pleasant. After a long time, this fragrance is almost gone, and only a very slight fragrance is left. If you don't pay attention to it, you won't feel anything. "

Hearing what the Li women said, Ouyang Dehe was even more sure that this kind of wood was definitely authentic sea rosewood.

Because the oil is heavy, it is easy to blunt the knife during processing. In addition, the wood is relatively hard. In the past, carpenters in the countryside did not have machines to help, so it was naturally very laborious to process. It is no wonder that carpenters don't like it.

"I like this kind of wood very much. I'm willing to pay a high price to buy it. I don't know if my aunt can help. Ask which house in the village still has this kind of wood. I want it all." Ouyang Dehe said decisively.

"Didn't you say that you are still not sure that this kind of wood is the kind of valuable sea yellow rosewood you want to buy? If you buy these wood at a high price now, if you make a mistake, you will suffer a loss Is it?" the Li woman reminded kindly.

"Although I'm not sure if it's that kind of sea yellow rosewood, it shouldn't be a big problem. Besides, doing business must take some risks, so even if the purchase is really wrong, I will admit it."

"Auntie, I'll pay 3000 yuan for each of your logs. What do you think? Why don't you call your uncle over and discuss the price together," Ouyang Dehe said.

Let's settle the business first, so as not to cause complications. What changes happened, Ouyang Dehe thought in his heart.

"I can decide what to ask him to do. It's just that you gave too much, 3000 yuan for a piece. Are you sure you won't lose money?"

The Li woman was obviously shocked by the price. Her family’s conditions in the village are pretty good, but her annual income is not good. Two or three pieces of this kind of wood are worth a lot!
One piece costs 3000 yuan, and ten pieces is 3 yuan. These logs can be sold for more than 10 yuan. She never thought that one day it would be so easy, and she would have an income of more than [-] yuan.

"Not much, not much. I saw those people waiting outside the mountain to buy the logs they found in the mountain, and they all cost about 3000 to [-] yuan a piece." Ouyang Dehe said with a busy smile.

If it wasn't for the limited funds, Ouyang Dehe wouldn't hesitate to ask for 1 yuan for a log.

Compared with its value more than ten years later, it is simply a huge miss.

The Li people in the mountains are still too kind. The first thing they think of is not to ask for a higher price, but to worry about whether they will lose money after they buy it.

Because it is too far away from the outside city and the traffic is not very convenient, Ouyang Dehe stayed at the house of the Li nationality aunt at night.

At dinner in the evening, Ouyang Dehe finally met Aunt Li's husband, who came home only half a month ago, Aunt Li's two daughters, two slim girls of Li nationality.

The two are still a pair of twins. They are currently in the third year of high school in the city and will graduate next year.

During the dinner, Ouyang Dehe found out that the Li nationality aunt and her husband are from the same village, the man's name is Wen Changsheng, and the woman's name is Gao Aimei.

A pair of twin daughters, the elder sister is Wen Lili and the younger sister is Wen Fangfang.

In addition, they have a son named Wen Tianqiang, who works outside, and the place he goes to is Shenchuan City.

Wen Changsheng was very happy after knowing that Ouyang Dehe planned to spend 10,000+ yuan to buy wood from his family. He was full of praise for Ouyang Dehe.

After learning that Ouyang Dehe already had a wife, he continued to say, "Why did you marry a wife so early?"

Judging from what he meant, it seemed that he still hoped to recruit him as his son-in-law.

Ouyang Dehe also took this opportunity to ask Wen Changsheng to go to the village to help him buy Haihuang rosewood, and he can also go to other villages to collect it.

He didn't care how much money he charged, he would pay him the same price as he gave to their family, and half of the price difference would be given to Wen Changsheng as his reward.

After hearing this, Wen Changsheng felt that there was still such a good thing in his heart, and of course he was happy.

He really didn't understand the other ingredients, but there was one thing he knew, and that was that he was very familiar with the scent of sea rosewood.

"If this kind of material is really what you said, it's actually not difficult to identify it, as long as you get some and burn it, it's easy to identify it." Wen Changsheng said happily.

"Oh! Is there anything else to say here?" Ouyang Dehe asked curiously.

“That’s when we used to use the useless leftover materials when we were making furniture. When we used them to cook, we found that the ash produced by this wood was particularly white.

In addition, when these woods are ignited, the smoke gathers but does not disperse, and rises straight into the air. These are the special features of this kind of wood, which are not found when burning other woods.

In addition, the charcoal burned with this kind of wood has a special light fragrance when roasting, and the roasted meat is particularly fragrant and delicious. "Wen Changsheng said excitedly.

"What? You use this kind of wood for charcoal barbecue?" Ouyang Dehe felt as if he had treasured everything, and his heart ached.

This burning is clearly a big banknote one by one!What wood is there.

"They're all twigs and leftovers. If you don't burn them, why keep them?" Wen Changsheng asked a little strangely.

If you don't use it to burn it, why keep it?Ouyang Dehe was speechless. He really didn't know how to answer Wen Changsheng's question. Should he tell him that these things were very valuable?Wouldn't that be like lifting a rock and hitting myself in the foot? How could I continue to purchase sea yellow rosewood?

It's not that he's too selfish, but that human nature is such that desires can never be satisfied. It's not unreasonable to say that it's not unreasonable for Shengmi to fight against Miqiu.

If he knew that in the next ten years, sea yellow rosewood would be as valuable as gold and was called wood gold, how could he sell sea yellow rosewood to him at the price given by Ouyang Dehe? .
