Chapter 192 Gambling Tree (3)
"Thirty-five..."
Lao Gu, with a gloomy face, didn't say nonsense, and directly added another 5,000 to Zhao Hongtao's quotation of 30,000 yuan. With Lao Gu's net worth, as long as he wants to continue playing, let alone 30,000 or 500,000 yuan, he doesn't care even if it's 300,000 or 500,000 yuan.
"Huh?" After hearing Lao Gu's offer, Man Jun was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and shook his head. He knew that he had said the wrong sentence just now, and when he heard Lao Gu's ears, he was probably misunderstood.
"Old Man, you..."
Zhao Hongtao also looked back at Man Jun. Although he was still willing to raise the price, if he continued to fight like this, it would be a bit of arguing. With Zhao Hongtao's nature, he would not do such a thing.
"How is it? Do Boss Zhao still need to increase the price? Boss Gu has added another 5,000..." The two trees were raised to a price of 35,000 yuan. Aming and Abao were both secretly happy. They did not expect that the two bosses would have such a competitive situation today.
"Boss Gu is such a big deal, these two trees belong to you..." Seeing everyone's eyes on him, Zhao Hongtao waved his hand and smiled: "Boss Gu, I'm really embarrassed to say something wrong..."
When he is away, Zhao Hongtao doesn't want to cause trouble, especially because his identity is quite special. It is better to make friends by making soft words than to add an enemy in vain.
"Yes, Boss Gu, I just said it according to the current market price of Huanghuali, and there was no other meaning..." Man Jun also apologized, and glanced at Abao at the same time. Man Jun could see the situation just now. Abao and Amin deliberately aroused the anger of both sides.
"Old Gu, Boss Man is very happy, I can testify to this..."
After being stared at Man Jun, Abao could only speak, and he would talk about his reputation when doing business. Although there is no evidence to prove that Abao was playing tricks in the gambling process, as long as Man Jun went back to promote what happened today, Abao's reputation would be affected.
"Haha, everyone is good friends, it's just a fun game. Boss Zhao doesn't blame me for raising the price..."
Lao Gu has been doing business for so many years and knows the reason why people carry people in flower sedan chairs. He was a little sensitive just now. He laughed and turned the topic away: "Amin, bring the saw, let's see these two trees on the spot today. I want to see what the difference is the yellow flower tree on the stone mountain and the one growing elsewhere?"
"Boss Gu, do you want a few other trees?" After hearing Lao Gu's words, Aming couldn't help but be stunned. In the past, they usually started to saw the trees and peel them after selling all the trees. They never bought them and started to saw the trees immediately.
"Boss Zhao gives face, why do I have the nerve to fight for those trees again..." Lao Gu waved his hand and said, "Boss Zhao asked Boss Zhao to choose the other trees first. If he doesn't want it, then talk about it..."
Old Gu has known Abao and Amin for more than ten years, so he naturally knows that although these two boys are not bad, they are a little cunning in business. From the faces of the two just now, he understands what's wrong with this.
Another point is that Old Gu could see that Zhao Hongtao's demeanor was definitely a person who was either rich or noble. Zhao Hongtao gave in just now, but he said this, but he returned Zhao Hongtao with a favor and gave him enough face.
"No hurry, let's see how Boss Gu's two trees are..."
To be honest, Zhao Hongtao came this time and only saw the two yellow rosewood trees on the stone mountain. Now that Lao Gu has bought them, Zhao Hongtao can buy or not. It is better to see what the grids in these two yellow rosewood trees will be like.
"Then let me see how this tree is sawed..." Lao Gu thought for a while, picked up the hand drill on the table, and said, "Amin, these two trees are mine. It doesn't matter if I drill a hole with my hand drill, right?"
Taking the heart of a yellow rosewood tree, that is, the pattern is also a bit particular, because the first choice for the function of yellow rosewood is to make furniture, which is also of the highest value. Huanghuali furniture made from old materials in recent years basically needs to be auctioned before it can be bought.
The second is to make ornaments based on the shape and quality of the heart material. The larger the size of the ornaments, the more valuable it is. If the yellow rosewood is a little thinner, then the merchants will use it as beads. This is also the last choice, and the value is naturally the lowest.
So how to obtain materials is also a very important thing. Lao Gu wanted to drill a hole with his hand to see how thick the Huanghuali grid was in the tree, and then decide whether to saw it open in the halfway or to peel off the bark.
"Boss Gu, you can do whatever you want..." Although Old Gu hasn't paid yet, Aming and him have not been dealing with him for the first day. He still believes in Lao Gu's credibility very much. He waved his hand and signaled that Old Gu could use his hand drill.
Seeing that Lao Gu was about to open the tree, Zhao Hongtao, Fang Yi and others surrounded him. The Manjun had seen the heartwood from the Huanghuali tree before, but he was relatively calm. Standing outside the crowd, he was talking to Abao in a mess.
Lao Gu was obviously very experienced. He took his hand drill and gestured at the root of the tree, then aimed the drill bit at one direction of the root of the tree. The easiest place for the Huanghuali tree to make ornaments is the root. If the heartwood inside is full, the object made from a single tree will be of great value.
When dealing with this yellow flower tree, which costs an average of 17,500 yuan, Lao Gu was very cautious. Every time the drill bit just drilled into it, he pulled it out, constantly judging whether it was out of order based on the wood chips brought out by the drill bit.
However, as Lao Gu tried, his face gradually became ugly. Because around the roots of the tree, the drill bits that Lao Gu tried to drill down could not bring out the debris of Huanghuali, which made him feel a bad feeling.
"Amin, take the saw..."
After another four or five minutes, Lao Gu finally lost his patience. After marking a knife at the slightly upward position of the tree root, he stood up and said, "Saw it down from this position, forget it, you can help me put it on the chair, I'd better do it myself..."
The huanghuali tree, which has been for fifty or sixty years, is thirty or forty centimeters in thickness and six or seven meters in length. Although the branches and leaves are still heavy, Aming immediately greeted Abao and the two carried the huanghuali tree to two chairs and put it on the shelf.
"Amin, I said you kid has made a lot of money over the years, right?" After taking the hand saw handed over by Amin, Lao Gu said with some dissatisfaction: "A chainsaw is only a few hundred yuan. You kid can't even afford to spend this little money?"
"Boss Gu, I'm used to hand saw..." Seeing Lao Gu pulling the saw blade with some difficulty, Amin shook his head and said, "Why don't I do it?"
"Okay, come on, see it as the mark I marked..." Lao Gu is old and has not exercised much in recent years. He just pulled it for three or five times and then sweated all over the body. He immediately returned the hand saw to Ah Ming.
Amin's movements were much more flexible than Old Gu. He stepped on the trunk with his left foot, bowed slightly, and held the saw handle in his right hand and quickly pulled it back above the root of the tree. Within a few strokes, the tree was sawed halfway through.
"alright……"
As Ah Ming said, the tree roots and trunks were broken by hand saws. The lost roots turned on the chair and fell to the ground. Old Gu, who was standing beside him, quickly bent down and picked him up.
"Extraordinary, hey, Lao Gu, is this extraordinary?" The man standing behind Lao Gu's eyes were pointed. He found that there was a darker and round place on the cross section of the tree root, and he couldn't help but blurt out.
"It's out of order, and it's still a pear..."
After hearing what his friend said, Lao Gu couldn't help but smile bitterly, put the tree root on the chair and straightened it, and said, "The roots of the tree are only so thick, and the trunk must be even more ordinary. This tree lost the bet..."
