    "Lao Liu said with a smile: "Don't say it so harshly, we should say that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers."

    Lao Niu smiled and said: "You just get the advantage and behave well."

    Meng Zitao laughed. Although this matter was indeed a bit ridiculous, one was willing to buy and the other was willing to sell. This transaction was understandable.

    After saying a few jokes, Meng Zitao asked: "Lao Liu, what's going on with gambling on wood?"

    Lao Liu asked back: "Do you know Ju Yuepeng from the west of the city?"

    Meng Zitao nodded and said, "I know, but he doesn't run a furniture factory. When did he change his profession to betting on wood?"

    Lao Liu said: "It's not that the price of golden nanmu has risen very quickly, and wood gambling is on the rise. Ju Tuzi thought this business can make money, so he went to Shu Province to buy some golden nanmu logs. It is said that he lost most of his net worth.  Above. As a result, gambling is not popular here yet, and no one goes there. When I met him yesterday, he asked me to ask someone to take a look. If you are interested, we will go there soon. "

    Meng Zitao nodded and said: "That's no problem, I just want to go and see it. Is anyone else going with us?"

    "Li Qiaosheng is free today," Lao Liu said, "I've called him too. I haven't notified the others yet. If you're happy, you can call your friends. That's a dream for a bald man."

    "Then let me call and ask." Meng Zitao thought for a while and then called Cheng Qiheng. As soon as the other party heard that such a thing happened, he rushed over.

    As soon as Cheng Qiheng arrived, Meng Zitao asked, "Do you want to take your Menghan with you?"

    Cheng Qiheng said: "Okay, I'll call her."

    After a while, Cheng Qiheng came over with Wang Menghan.

    "When will Li Qiaosheng arrive?" Meng Zitao asked.

    "I'll call and ask."

    Lao Liu called Li Qiaosheng. Li Qiaosheng said that he had a friend who wanted to go with him. Lao Liu said it was no problem. Then everyone set off and went to pick up Li Qiaosheng and his friend at the door of a nearby hotel.  Qiao Keyu from Beijing.

    Qiao Keyu is a handsome middle-aged man who opens a small gallery by himself. Because something happened, he came to Ling City to relax. He heard that there was gambling on wood and he came with him.

    After a few polite words, everyone started talking about betting on wood. Qiao Keyu, who knew nothing about this aspect, was the first to ask: "What is the method of betting on golden nanmu?"

    Lao Liu replied: "It's very simple, buy a tree and unravel it. If there is a hollow or rotten core, and the area is large, then you will lose. If you can untie a long board and the quality is good, then you will make a profit."

    Qiao Keyu nodded and said: "So that's what happened. By the way, I heard that golden nanmu was used by emperors in ancient times, and people who used it would be beheaded. Is this true?"

    Lao Liu smiled and said: "Your thinking is quite fast, but you have to ask Shopkeeper Meng about this kind of thing, he is an expert."

    Meng Zitao smiled and said: "What kind of expert is he just making a living? But in this regard, I did check some information. It is true that many of the Ming Dynasty buildings preserved in the Forbidden City are from Jinsinan, and several of them are  The existing main halls all use golden nanmu as the beams, but there has never been a situation where people used golden nanmu to behead people."

    "As for why in the capital, only the emperor generally uses golden nanmu? That's because only the emperor can travel thousands of miles to Sichuan Province to buy wood. If the local people in Shu Province have several golden nanmu trees at home and want to make a cabinet,  Do you have to buy additional wood? That doesn¡¯t make sense, does it?¡±

    Qiao Keyu asked again: "Then what happened to Heshen in the Qing Dynasty?"

    Meng Zitao smiled and said: "He copied the style of the palace, and it has nothing to do with the wood used. Besides, even if he didn't mention this, he would have died several times just because of his crime."

    Everyone chatted all the way, and after forty minutes, we arrived at the door of a furniture factory. We saw several cars parked at the door, and they were at least mid- to high-end cars. It looked like they were probably here to gamble on wood.  .

    Everyone got off the car and followed Lao Liu into the factory area. The guard knew Lao Liu and let him go after just asking a few questions.

    The group of people followed Lao Liu straight to the warehouse at the back, and saw more than 20 pieces of original wood placed inside the warehouse. The wood ranged from large to small, with different qualities.  In addition to the wood, there were seven or eight people pointing at the twenty-odd pieces of wood.

    To Meng Zitao¡¯s surprise, Ma Xingwei was also here, and the two nodded to each other.

    Watching Lao Liu come in, Ju Yuepeng, a man in his forties or fifties with a head with sparse hair, quickly greeted him with a smile.

    Ju Yuepeng smiled and said: "OldThings were easier to handle. Meng Zitao used his superpower on the golden nanmu in the warehouse, and his mood immediately became happy again.

    Ma Xingwei came over and said with a smile: "Xiao Meng, you are in a good mood. Do you have a goal?"

    Meng Zitao smiled and said: "It's okay, how about you?"

    Ma Xingwei smiled and said: "I'm just a foil. Besides, the wood here doesn't look very good."

    Meng Zitao said: "It seems that you should have done some research on betting on wood, right?"

    Ma Xingwei smiled and shook his head: "It's not about research. I just saw a lot of wood and gained some experience."

    Meng Zitao asked: "Are you saying that the wood here really cannot be gambled?"

    Ma Xingwei said: "It's not certain. For example, the two most expensive ones are pretty good. But when it comes to betting on wood, I don't have much confidence in the 30% vision and 70% luck. Of course I won't do it. By the way, you  Which one do you like?"

    Meng Zitao touched his nose and said, "To be honest with you, I am interested in one of the people you mentioned."

    "Which one?" When Ma Xingwei heard this, he became curious, but he immediately felt that it was not appropriate for Meng Zitao to say it now, and quickly waved his hand and said: "Forget it, don't say it now, I  A friend is also interested in one of them."

    Meng Zitao was slightly startled and said quickly: "Then I have to strike first."

    But when he looked back, he found that the other party had already taken the lead and was standing between the two logs, bargaining with Gong Yuepeng.

    Meng Zitao hurriedly walked over. When he walked up to the two of them, the other party had already negotiated the price with Gong Yuepeng. This made him feel nervous and prayed that the other party would never choose the one he chose.

    "Boss Ju, does this piece of wood have an owner?" Meng Zitao asked, pointing to a piece of golden nan wood next to him that had more burrs on the surface.

    "No, is Shopkeeper Meng interested in this piece of wood?" Gong Yuepeng was overjoyed. Could it be that the two most expensive pieces of wood can be sold today?  If this is the case, then he can gather most of the funds.

    Meng Zitao breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Yes, I am indeed interested in this piece of wood. Please ask Boss Gong to give me a price."

    Gong Yuepeng pondered for a moment and said: "This wood has a lot of knots, but its age is good and there are no flaws. I'll give you 9.5 million, okay?"

    Meng Zitao shook his head: "In the Jinshen industry, there is a saying that out of ten tumors, nine are empty. If there are too many tumors, my risk will be greater. The price of 9.5 million is not suitable. Let's go to 8 million."

    "I can't even get back eight million." Gong Yuepeng smiled bitterly: "Besides, this piece of wood has more knots, but it has a better shape. If you get a long board, you will make a lot of money.  . In this way, I will take another step back, 9.45 million."

    Because the knobs are generally round, it is difficult to find long boards with knobs. It is possible to produce long boards with knobs of more than 2.5 meters from this piece of wood, which is worth a gamble. Gong Yuepeng thinks Meng Zitao is betting on this.  Otherwise, Meng Zitao will buy this wood when he is full.

    Of course, because of the many tumors, the person just now didn¡¯t want to bet on this piece of wood. Otherwise, it would be normal for someone to be unlucky and lose all his money.

    Next, Meng Zitao and Gong Yuepeng bargained, and finally the deal was settled at 9.28 million.

    Seeing that Meng Zitao actually made a deal, Cheng Qiheng and the others gathered around.

    ¡°Everyone was a little stunned when they heard that Meng Zitao spent more than nine million yuan to buy a piece of wood.

    Cheng Qiheng said: "Zitao, you must have never bet on wood before, right? Is this your first time to make such a big move?"

    Meng Zitao smiled and said: "I have never bet on wood, but I have studied it to some extent. I just looked at it carefully and thought this wood was good, so I bought it."

    Wang Menghan looked at the huge piece of wood on the ground with doubts on his face, and said, "Isn't this similar to the others? It's just a little bigger. I don't think there's anything good about it."

    Cheng Qiheng nodded and said: "Yes, Zitao, can you tell us a few words to clear up the confusion?" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
