    Xu Jianfang nodded and said, "Okay, as long as there's no trouble."

    Ma Lean laughed and said: "Jianfang, don't worry, I will definitely not trick you in this matter."

    When Meng Zitao heard this, he sneered in his heart. It's a damned thing if you can believe the words of a person like Ma Le'an.  Besides, with the goods in the hands of people who are in the "raw pit" business, who knows where the "ripe pit" stuff comes from?

    Meng Zitao had heard a story before about a collector who often dealt with people who did this kind of side business.  Once, he saw a vase from a seller, and he happened to have one at home. He thought they could make a pair, so he spent a lot of money to buy it.

    Unexpectedly, when he came home and saw that the vase at home was gone, the vase he just bought was his own.

    Of course, this kind of thing is rare after all, but Meng Zitao is naturally afraid of trouble. In order to avoid trouble, he naturally doesn't like dealing with people like Ma Le'an.

    " However, Meng Zitao is not the protagonist today, and he can't control that much.  And to be honest, if you want to make a name for yourself in the antique world, you can't avoid dealing with this kind of people. Even if Meng Zitao doesn't like them, sometimes he has to deal with them.

    Seeing that Xu Jianfang agreed, Ma Lean winked at his companion, and the middle-aged man turned back to the back room. After a while, he came back with a box in his hand and put the box on the table.

    ¡°Don¡¯t mention it, as soon as this box was placed on the table, it made people¡¯s eyes light up, and Meng Zitao immediately fell in love with it.

    The box is not very large and rectangular in shape. It is made from the heartwood of huanghuali wood. It is darker in color, reddish brown or dark brown, and looks like a rhinoceros horn.  The wooden box has clear texture, like flowing clouds and flowing water, which is extremely beautiful.

    The wood grain on the box is rich in wood boils. Some friends may not know much about wood boils. It is actually a damage to the wood caused by pruning, bruises, and weather effects during the growth and development of trees.  The impact causes physical changes in the structure and material of the wood, as well as changes in the chemical mechanism inside the wood, resulting in circular scar spots on the wood.

    For example, if we prune the side branches of a tree, the wound will leave obvious boils while healing, which are called "wood boils".  Therefore, wood boils are commonly referred to as "scars" on wood. Generally, the black spots formed by the scars on Hainan Huanghuali are also called ghost eyes.

    ??Wood boils will show a variety of textures, such as fox heads, old people's heads, and old man's hair, etc. The wood boils on this box show a variety of textures and look beautiful.

    Overall, this huanghuali covered box is made of large materials, dignified and simple in shape, without decoration, showing the natural beauty of wood, which is pleasing to the eye.

    Seeing the look of amazement in Meng Zitao's eyes, Ma Lean felt a little proud. Then he motioned to his companions to open the box, and a lying deer sculpture carved from white jade came into everyone's sight.

    Ma Lean chuckled and said, "See which one you like."

    Hearing what Ma Lean said, Xu Jianfang frowned and said, "You mean, we can only take one piece when we stay?"

    Ma Lean said matter-of-factly: "Of course, you don't think you can buy these two things for fifty thousand yuan, do you?"

    Xu Jianshu said: "What fifty thousand, a total of fifty-nine thousand!"

    "Hey!" Ma Le'an sneered: "It's boring to say that. I've already lost money by agreeing to this matter. If you still want to push it further, then let's not talk about it."

    Xu Jianfang said: "We can wait until we see something before we discuss this matter."

    Ma Le'an closed the lid of the box and said, "No, let's talk about this clearly beforehand. To tell you the truth, the 50,000 yuan was put into someone else's bank card, and I didn't get anything."

    Xu Jianfang sneered in his heart, who would believe this?  If you, Ma Le'an, really didn't get anything, would you take it upon yourself?

    However, after thinking about it, he decided not to add any extraneous details, and said, "It's okay if it doesn't count, but your things have to be cheaper. If you put these 50,000 yuan in the bank for half a year, you'll still get 1,000 yuan in interest."

    Ma Lean chuckled: "If you want it cheap, then buy both of these things."

    Xu Jianshu said, "Let's see the things first. Who knows how much these two things cost?"

    Ma Le'an nodded and said, "Okay, then you can take a look."

    Meng Zitao first took out the jade and placed it in front of the Xu brothers. He looked at the box himself and found that judging from the workmanship, the box should be a work from the early Qing Dynasty. It was well preserved and had a market value ofHe said with a smile: "This is not bad, you can still earn five thousand."

    Xu Jianfang said: "Do you think you can sell it for 70,000 yuan?"

    Xu Jianshu said in surprise: "Why can't it be sold?"

    Xu Jianfang said: "Why, don't you understand such a simple truth? You don't know anyone, who are you going to sell these two things to? If you sell them to antique dealers, they don't want to make money? Xiao Tao, is this the truth?  ?¡±

    Seeing Meng Zitao smiling and nodding, Xu Jianshu said: "That's too much, this is five thousand yuan."

    Xu Jianfang said: "Otherwise, you think that if the antique business does not open for three years, how can it survive for three years after opening? By then, if we can sell 65,000 yuan, it will be considered good." (Remember the website address: www.  hlnovel.com
