53. Invest in mahogany furniture

Continue to collect and recommend, please give me some more effort. In addition, thank all the friends who voted for the recommendation and the book friends who rewarded them!

***************

According to my mother and dad’s idea, such a good house must be equipped with complete sets of modern furniture, such as sofas, coffee tables, TV cabinets, and large soft beds of well-known Italian brands.

But at this point, Li Yifan put forward his own different ideas. In his opinion, this is the best time to invest in mahogany furniture.

Although they were from rural areas, Li Liqiang and Zhang Shu also have a good understanding of this mahogany furniture, because when they got married, the most valuable set of property in their family was the mahogany wardrobe made by Li Yifan's grandfather using the mahogany saved in his early years. They have used that wardrobe until now, but because of poor preservation, the corners and corners are damaged.

Moreover, because the mahogany furniture is very valuable for collection, and Aunt Anna specializes in luxury goods business, she instilled the concept of collecting in these two brothers and sisters-in-law, the two old men did not object much to Li Yifan's idea of ​​buying mahogany furniture.

As for Aunt Anna, she looked at Li Yifan even more through this incident. The child really had ideas, but she couldn't figure out how he knew so much at such an old age.

Li Yifan didn't think so much about it. When he was struggling in the capital in later generations, he had seen how those rich people who spent money like money were consumed, so he had a deep impression of those luxury goods and things worth collecting.

Especially in the two years when he was a house sales economy, after the rich people bought a house, they had a big renovation and a set of mahogany furniture worth hundreds of thousands of dollars a day without blinking. He still remembered it deeply.

However, at that time, the market price of mahogany furniture had been hyped up by many collectors and rich people. He could only watch and drool the mahogany furniture that was often more valuable than a house.

It's different now. He is worth a little, and it's a good year when mahogany furniture is the most worth investing in, so of course he can't fall behind.

Due to last year's Asian financial crisis, many wealthy people and large investment companies were in a state of shortage of capital chains at this time, so the market for high-end furniture such as mahogany furniture was not active at this time.

Many companies and merchants specializing in the production of mahogany furniture have even had to sell their mahogany furniture at a low price in order to survive and maintain their own cash flow.

A square dining table with Hainan Huanghuali is only 17,000 or 8,000 yuan. If it were ten years later, a wooden bowl of Yuhuangying alone could buy a sky-high price of 300,000 yuan. Larger utensils, more exquisite furniture, are usually made of millions of yuan.

However, there are ways to buy furniture, and you can't go to the mall, because if you go there, you will only be slaughtered. However, Li Yifan, who lived in the capital for many years, certainly knew where to find the best mahogany furniture.

After all, after he started working as a secret agent, he had dealt with people in the powerful circle of the capital, so he still knew many tricks.

Accompanied by Aunt Anna in the afternoon, their family headed straight to Ximen Town in Xingda District. It was not the main distribution center for the production and wholesale of mahogany furniture in Beijing. At this time, the transaction of mahogany furniture in Beijing was not yet popular. Only some people who like to collect would buy mahogany furniture at high prices, and the hype was not yet popular. Therefore, the moisture in mahogany furniture was not high at this time, and it was not like later generations, where all kinds of mahogany furniture stores were opened everywhere.

This Ximen Town is still very famous in the mahogany furniture circle in later generations, because there are a group of old craftsmen gathered here, and some of them have crafts passed down from generation to generation, specifically to create mahogany furniture for the nobles of the imperial palaces in the past, so the mahogany furniture processing here is very famous.

After being tempered by later generations, Li Yifan has some insight into the taste of mahogany furniture. After all, he has communicated a lot with those high-ranking officials and nobles in later generations, and he is still of a good understanding of mahogany furniture.

Soon, I picked more than a dozen sets of furniture from one of the famous Huanglinyuan mahogany furniture companies in later generations, including mahogany seats for living rooms, coffee tables, ornaments, dining tables for restaurants, chair sets, as well as a few large wooden beds, a bookcase for study rooms, a four-piece set of book seats, and some exquisitely carved small ornaments and crafts. I ordered a total of about 40 or 50 pieces, and in total, I spent about 500,000.

Although Li Liqiang and Zhang Shu felt a little distressed about this price, they thought that the things that their son and Anna were very valuable for collection and would appreciate in the future, so they would endure it.

In Li Yifan's opinion, if you have this little money, you can buy so many mahogany furniture and ornaments, which is simply a huge advantage.

In fact, as a veteran, there are many ways to get rich. Antique collection is just one. However, he really doesn’t have much knowledge about antiques, but he still has some insight in mahogany furniture, so of course he chose this safer path. In his opinion, if he walks this path well, it will be more stable than buying stocks and futures.

The bed is made of rosewood, the four-piece set of desks is authentic Hainan Huanghuali, and the dining table and chairs are also excellent mahogany. The most valuable thing is the small ornaments that are not big but exquisitely carved. Not only are there works of Hainan Huanghuali, but there are even two small lions carved out of excellent mahogany.

Just a few small ornaments will probably be worth millions in ten years, so this deal is very worthy in Li Yifan's opinion.

In the past two days, Li Liqiang and his wife have become a little numb, or used to it. After thinking about Li Yifan's house one night, they also knew that it was time to change their minds.

Aunt Anna, even led by Li Yifan, selected more than a dozen small ornaments, all of which were of extraordinary texture and valuable treasures, and there was also a lot of room for appreciation in ten years.

The owner of this mall has been doing bad business this year and has been struggling. In the past two years, he spent a lot of money to buy wood from the south and even borrowed money from the bank. However, he caught up with the Asian financial crisis, which led to the weakening of the mahogany furniture market. It has not opened for several months now. If this continues, his factory will be taken over by the bank as collateral. For the big big dealers that appear today, it is a timely rain for him.

So in the bargaining process, the manufacturer can be said to be very polite. The price offered was very fair. He even gave them discounts and even gave them many inconspicuous small ornaments. If he knew about these ornaments, he would probably have the intention to jump off the building.

After watching the workers carefully load the carefully selected mahogany furniture, and then transported it back to their new home. Li Yifan felt relieved after watching the workers with their own eyes.

Although this mahogany furniture is a good opportunity to invest in now, there are also many unscrupulous merchants, such as bag-out schemes or adulteration, and there are also cases where two good pieces of materials are used on the surface and ordinary materials are used in the middle.

Fortunately, he met a more honest boss, and the furniture he carefully selected was not a sign of adulteration or bag loss, otherwise he would have really lost the money.

The workers moved the furniture into their new homes, arranged them neatly, and then settled their wages and went there. Li Yifan and his parents went to a shopping mall and bought some basic daily necessities such as mattresses, sheets, bedding, pots and pans, and so on. So they moved directly into their new home in Beijing that night.

Because they use high-quality mahogany furniture, the processing methods are not like ordinary furniture, and they have been left there for a while after they are made, so they are not worried about the release of formaldehyde. So after more than a week in Beijing, the family moved into their new home in Beijing!
