Chapter 37 Diamonds in the Plant Kingdom
In the huge live broadcast room, people familiar with Lin Yuan felt that things were not as simple as they appeared.
Since Lin Yuan changed the track, he has made a lot of money every time he makes a move, so that wooden talisman must have something special about it.
While the people in the live broadcast room were discussing, Lin Yuan pulled Henry and Paul away who were eager to try.
Henry and Paul saw that this Eastern wizard was pretty accurate in calculations, so they originally planned to give it a try. But since Lin Yuan wanted to leave, they had no choice but to give up.
At this time, Lin Yuan noticed the discussion in the live broadcast room and explained: "This wooden charm is carved from agarwood."
Everyone understands this explanation.
As we all know, the production process of natural wild agarwood is full of contingency and complexity. It originates from the resin secreted by the agarwood tree of the Thymeaceae family after being damaged by the outside world, and is formed after years of baptism and natural aging.
In China, agarwood is sought after by people for its elegant fragrance, long-lasting properties, and health-enhancing properties. Incense has gradually formed an incense-making activity centered on spices, incense products, and incense utensils.
This process of producing incense gradually realized the sublimation of physical and psychological feelings in the long social life, and over time formed an agarwood culture.
Seeing the interaction between Lin Yuan and everyone in the live broadcast room, Henry and Paul realized later that Lin Yuan had missed it again.
Seeing that everyone was talking so mysteriously, Henry couldn't help but take it, put it to his nose and smell it. A mint-like coolness, accompanied by a faint sweetness and the fragrance of flowers, penetrated Henry's nostrils.
Is this the smell of agarwood?
Paul was not familiar with agarwood and had not even heard of it. He touched Henry and asked: "Is this wood valuable?"
Although Henry had heard about it, he didn't know much about it. He said uncertainly: "It should be quite valuable. The Chinese can always play with wood to the extreme. Many worthless wood can be turned into treasure by the Chinese."
He was talking about wood carvings.
Lin Yuan corrected them: "First of all, this is not wood."
As soon as these words came out, not only Paul and Henry were stunned, but the audience in the live broadcast room almost thought that Lin Yuan had said the wrong thing.
You are not blind. Can't you tell if it is wood?
Of course, there are also knowledgeable people who nodded slightly in approval after hearing Lin Yuan's words.
"Isn't it wood?" Paul scratched the hair on his temples and suddenly felt a little confused. Is there something wrong with my eyes, or is there something wrong with my ears?
Lin Yuan explained to them: "To be precise, agarwood is not just wood.
It is a kind of spice that is mixed with some sap and wood debris fibers secreted after the wood of a special kind of fragrant wood is insect-eaten, chopped, or has tree markings.
To put it bluntly, it is a combination of wood and resin. ”
Its essence is just like amber, but amber takes millions of years to form, while agarwood is different. Agarwood is made by condensing resin.
As far as Lin Yuan knows, agarwood can be divided into several types.
In the world of collection and speculation, the price of mature agarwood tops the list. It takes many years to collect mature agarwood, because after the death of the fragrant wood, it rots, is exposed to wind and rain, and finally only a small piece of agarwood is left. Dark and restrained aroma.
Secondly, when the tree is still alive, the scars left behind are formed by the condensation of resin. This kind of agarwood often has a certain shape. And the color is lighter, so the price in the collection world is not that high.
Finally, it should be the incense formed after the trees are eaten by insects and become diseased. This kind of agarwood is often smaller in size and has a weird shape. Unless the shape is particularly beautiful and has special meaning, the price will be very high.
Paul: "Is it worth anything?"
Lin Yuan asked him, "Are diamonds valuable?" Paul nodded and didn't know anything else, but the whole world knew that diamonds were valuable.
"Agarwood is known as the diamond of the plant world." Lin Yuan told him.
Henry was slightly shocked. This was the first time he heard this statement.
"Isn't that sold by the gram?" Henry was surprised.
Lin Yuan nodded slightly: "Mahogany is sold by the ton, rosewood is sold by the pound, and agarwood is sold by the gram! This is common sense in the collection world."
This is not empty talk. Now the price of agarwood has far exceeded that of gold. The price of good agarwood is several times or dozens of times that of gold, and the price of agarwood is hundreds of times that of gold.
"If you read it correctly, this is the holy product of agarwood - Qinan agarwood. Qinan agarwood generally costs 10,000 yuan per gram, of course, in RMB." Lin Yuan continued.
And the piece he got was not just Qinan Agarwood, it might also be the best among Qinan Agarwood.
Because he heard that Qinan agarwood is called the most precious treasure in the world and is divided into five categories, referred to as one white, two green, three purple, four yellow, and five black.
It is said that it takes tens to hundreds of years for the fifth-level black nanxiang to form from the date of the fungus invasion.
Because the black agarwood is immature, the fungus has spread to parts of it. Although it has turned black due to the oil coverage, the uninfected parts are still woody, so they are mostly distributed in the shape of tiger spots.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Henry calculated that one gram of 10,000 yuan is equivalent to one or two thousand US dollars in U.S. dollars.
This is indeed much more expensive than gold.
No wonder it is known as the diamond of the plant world.
Paul couldn't believe it. A piece of wood could be so expensive. It would scare him to death.
At this moment, Lin Yuan received a private message in the live broadcast room, asking Lin Yuan if he could sell the wooden talisman, saying that the price was acceptable to Lin Yuan.
Perhaps because Lin Yuan didn't speak, thinking that Lin Yuan didn't see it, the other party sent a private message again, asking if he could sell it for $300,000.
Lin Yuan had no choice but to say: "A brother is interested in this wooden talisman of mine and offers three hundred thousand dollars. I want to say, brother, I am abroad, how can I trade it? Send it back? Don't worry, I don't worry either!"
After all, who can safely mail a treasure worth more than two million yuan? Is your heart too big?
The man sent a private message again, saying that he was in the United States, but in New York. If Lin Yuan was willing to transfer, he would fly over tomorrow.
"Okay, then fly over here! I won't trade it out until tomorrow, I'll keep it for you."
Although other viewers in the live broadcast room did not see the specific content of the private message, they basically understood that someone was interested in the wooden talisman that Lin Yuan had just obtained, offered $300,000, and even flew to San Francisco in person.
Lin Yuan’s old fans sighed: Old Lin is getting better too! In the past two or three days, hundreds of thousands of dollars have been made every day.
Henry and Paul next to him cast even more admiring glances.
At this time, they are more determined to hold on to this thigh, which will save them decades of struggle, or even no need to struggle for the rest of their lives.
Lin Yuan and the others suddenly heard the sound of an ambulance. They turned around and saw that the black boy who had been hit by a car had finally arrived. However, seeing that he was motionless, he didn't know if he was still breathing.
