Chapter 88: A Pile of Ten Thousand Years of Sea Yellow
"Boss Zhang, please ask, are you looking for wood or logs?"
"I want wood and logs. Even if you give me a tree root, I want it as long as it is a tree root with yellow sea or a small leaf red sandalwood!"
"Okay! Boss Zhang, I'll leave this to me. I'll guarantee you to get cheap and authentic wood!" Hao Weikang patted his chest and promised.
Hao Weikang's words are not bragging, but have his own reliance.
It is a bit exaggerated and unrealistic to say that Putian people selling wood across the country are all his relatives.
However, in Guangzhou, in Yuzhu, the Putian people who sell wood are of the same clan and tribe, which is absolutely no exaggeration.
There is one advantage for Fujian people to do business, that is, they will not spend prices on each other, and they will have information and resources, which is also the fundamental reason why they can monopolize a certain industry in a certain place.
Now he was the first to receive Zhang Junping, so the business was basically stable. Even if other timber factories had a source of goods, they could not compare to the resources they had together.
Speaking of this, I have to complain about the northerners. Although the author is a northerner, why are northerners not as good as southerners in business?
It is because they are not united enough, let alone the competition between peers and the price is suppressed by each other, but the relatives sometimes intervene in order to compete for business, they will step on each other and suppress each other's price.
On the contrary, when Fujianese do business, if you ask about the fish bead timber market, all Fujianese timber factories will not have a second price. Of course, the prerequisite is that you have the ability to talk about their lowest price.
They will discuss setting a base price by themselves, and will never sell it below the base price.
"By the way, I not only want wood, but also some old mahogany furniture!" Zhang Junping added.
"Boss Zhang, are you asking for old furniture for... convenience?"
"In order to study the production process of old mahogany furniture, old mahogany furniture in Guangzhou is famous in the past!
We buy these old mahogany furniture and go back to study and learn other people’s production techniques!
Secondly, some old mahogany furniture can also be dismantled as wood and reprocessed into mahogany silver-embedded handicrafts to earn foreign exchange!
We want all the mahogany furniture, whether it is good or bad furniture that lacks arms and legs!"
"Director Zhang wants old mahogany furniture, I suggest you go to the trust store to take a look!
In the morning markets in Huangshi and Baiyun, old furniture is often sold, but you have to try your luck!
Of course, I will also help you pay attention to the appropriate old furniture. I will notify you together when the time comes!"
"Then thank you Boss Hao! I'll go to the trust store to take a look!" Zhang Junping thanked politely.
Trust shops, similar to ancient pawn shops, are mainly used for consignment of various second-hand items by the people. They can be said to be diverse and all kinds of second-hand goods are available.
It's a bit similar to a second-hand trading market, where the prices of goods are half cheaper than other places.
As for the morning market that Hao Weikang mentioned, there is a term in the antique industry called ghost market.
The ghost market is naturally not related to ghosts and monsters. It is spontaneously composed of some people who sell their abilities and cannot hide their faces.
It is no verified who initiated it first. Anyway, there was a ghost market as early as the Song Dynasty.
In the late Northern Song Dynasty, Meng Yuanlao once described the ghost market in "Dream Hualu of Tokyo, Panlou East Streets and Alleys": the tea shop lights every five o'clock, Boyi buys and sells clothes, pictures, garlands, collars, etc., and it scatters at dawn, which is called "Ghost Market".
Meng Yuanlao of the Northern Song Dynasty was not the first to record the ghost market in the book. As early as the Tang Dynasty, someone described the ghost market in the book.
However, the Tang Dynasty's description of ghost market is mostly related to ghosts and monsters.
Mr. Meng Yuan of the Northern Song Dynasty was the first ancient man to truly describe the real role of the ghost market.
...
"Huzi, are you buying wood like this? You decided not to even look at it?" Dong Yaozong asked impatiently after leaving Hao Weikang's wood processing factory.
“Uncle, when did I settle down?
I just told him that I wanted to buy wood, buy a lot of it, and whether to buy his wood, there is a condition, that is, the price is appropriate!
I will buy it only if it is suitable, but I will naturally not buy it if it is not suitable!" Zhang Junping explained with a smile.
"Next, where are we going?"
"After taking a walk, this place is not just a timber factory run by Putian people!
There is also a timber factory opened by Guangdong people themselves!
There are also state-owned wood factories and fish bead wood processing factories!
Anyway, we are not in a hurry, so we can walk over slowly, which is a comparison of all the stores!" Zhang Junping said as he turned into a wood processing factory.
"Boss, buy wood?" A middle-aged fat man came up.
It is not easy to be so fat these days.
The owner of this wood processing factory is a local from Guangzhou.
Although Cantonese Mandarin and Fujian Mandarin sound like birds singing to northerners, there is still a big difference between them carefully.
"Yes! Buy wood! What kind of wood does your house have?" Zhang Junping nodded with a smile.
"I have all kinds of wood, absolutely complete varieties and fair prices!"
"I want Haihuang, do you have this?"
"Yes!" The middle-aged fat man was stunned for a moment, and then said loudly: "Boss, I'm right here!
I tell you, I can’t guarantee that if you buy something else, there is no one in Guangzhou, and there is more supply of goods than me!”
"Can you look at the wood?"
"Please here!" The middle-aged fat man reached out and gestured to invite Zhang Junping to walk to the cargo yard.
I have to say that the timber factory of the middle-aged fat man is much larger than the timber factory of Hao Weikang just now.
"These are all Haihuang, how much does the boss want?" said the middle-aged fat man pointing to a pile of wood.
Zhang Junping looked up and saw that there were quite a lot.
The thinnest piles of wood of thick and thinness are piled up in a mess, looking spectacular.
The thickest wood has a diameter of more than 1.5 meters.
Zhang Junping didn't have to look carefully. He dared to bet that if it were Hainan Huanghuali, he would eat the pile of wood.
A giant tree with a diameter of more than 1.5 meters can be called a thousand-year-old Huanghuali according to the growth cycle of Hainan Huanghuali.
Let’s not talk about whether Hainan Huanghuali can grow for ten thousand years. Even if it can grow for ten thousand years, it is probably only an empty shell left outside.
Nine out of ten sandalwoods have to wither. The longer the sandalwood grows for a longer period of time, the more likely it is to have a dry heart, that is, the heart of the tree has torn.
Hainan Huanghuali is also a type of sandalwood, and its scientific name is Jiangxiang Huangsan.
The reason why Hainan Huanghuali is precious is that it is difficult to produce large ingredients.
After the searches of the Ming and Qing dynasties, such thick materials can be preserved, and there are so many, miracles are no longer enough to describe, they can only be said to be miracles.
Zhang Junping walked to a piece of wood without saying a word and observed it.
This wood will never be cut for more than two years.
Looking at other woods, they are all similar. The cutting time is not long, and they have only been cut down in recent years.
"Boss, if you look for Guangzhou hard, you will never find such a good or so good as me, so many, such a big Hainan Huanghuali!" The middle-aged fat man patted a piece of wood and bragged hard.
