"Are these pieces of furniture very expensive?" Ah Long asked curiously.
Chen Dong nodded.
Expensive? More than just expensive!
These pieces of furniture made from Hainan rosewood could easily fetch millions of yuan in later generations.
If you find one you really like, it's not impossible to sell it for tens of millions of dollars.
The key is that furniture made from such top-quality Hainan rosewood is priceless and unavailable.
Moreover, Chen Dong observed that the bed frame, desk, coffee table, and chairs were all made of this type of wood.
That's fucking extravagant!
Jiang Fei really didn't understand these things. In his opinion, they were just furniture made of wood, and he couldn't see anything special about them.
But the important thing is that Chen Dong likes it, and that's enough.
Jiang Fei: "Brother Dong, these pieces of furniture were given to us by the original owner of the house when we bought it. He even said that if we didn't like them, we could just burn them somewhere."
“I didn’t pay much attention to that at the time. Oh, right, I remember there was a room with several pieces of wood in it.”
Chen Dong: "Where?"
Jiang Fei turned around and led the group to a side room.
After pushing open the door, Chen Dong was shocked.
The side room was originally a living room, but several Hainan Huanghuali trees were piled on the ground.
Clearly, the original owner used this room as a warehouse to store Hainan rosewood.
Seeing the furniture made of Hainan rosewood in the main room was surprising enough, but I never expected there to be another hidden gem here.
These few Hainan Huanghuali trees, not even considering the outer trunks, the inner rosewood parts alone are as thick as an adult's thigh.
Yulia: "It smells so good!"
Haihuang is the abbreviation for Hainan Huanghuali.
Hainan Huanghuali emits a unique fragrance, but it is not as long-lasting as the fragrance of agarwood.
It is a natural beauty, like flowers that will eventually fade.
The fragrance of Hainan rosewood is intermittent, stronger on rainy and cloudy days, especially on consecutive rainy days, and weaker on sunny days.
The reason why Hainan Huanghuali is valuable is because its fragrance lingers on the skin.
For a long time, a familiar fragrance would occasionally waft through the air, which is part of the mysterious allure of Hainan Huanghuali.
Chen Dong also visited Qiongzhou in the 21st century.
He even made a special trip to the local rosewood trading market.
The Hainan Huanghuali over there is like gambling on rough stones, even more terrifying.
Some people become rich overnight, while others lose everything as a result.
Many Hainan rosewoods look very coarse, but the core wood inside is actually not very large.
Some people spend tens of thousands of yuan to buy a piece of Hainan Huanghuali, only to find after cutting it open that there is only a tiny bit of red inside, making it worth only tens of thousands of yuan.
A good quality Hainan rosewood can sell for hundreds of millions of dollars, but when you cut it open, the core wood is only the thickness of a finger.
This is undoubtedly a huge loss!
Things are different now.
The piece you see here has been cut open at the bottom, and you can clearly see the wood core inside.
Chen Dong reached out and touched the core of the wood; it felt exceptionally smooth, as if it had been coated with oil.
This is undoubtedly top-grade Hainan Huanghuali!
Jiang Fei: "Brother Dong, what's this kind of wood called?"
"Hainan Huanghuali, also known as Hainan Rosewood, is a relatively precious type of wood."
These days, very few people understand the value of Hainan rosewood.
Later, when people started to pay attention to these things, the price of Hainan Huanghuali had increased many times over.
"Brother Fei!"
Chen Dong looked at Jiang Fei.
"I'll find a skilled carpenter later and have him make something out of this Hainan rosewood. I'll give you one of those pieces then."
"No need, Brother Dong."
Jiang Fei quickly waved his hand, unaware of the preciousness of these things.
Chen Dong smiled without saying anything, and then went with the others to look at a few other courtyard houses.
In short, apart from the first courtyard house which had many valuable items, the other valuable items in the other courtyard houses had all been taken away by their original owners.
This is actually quite easy to understand.
After all, what's being sold is the house, not the furniture inside.
The group then returned to Longteng Foreign Trade.
Yulia went back to her room to pack her luggage. According to Chen Dong, it was fine for her to go, since they would be doing some shopping there anyway.
But Yulia didn't think so.
She always felt guilty because she was spending Chen Dong's money, not because she had worked hard.
Chen Dong could only let her be, and they would deal with everything once they got there.
In the conference room.
The secretary made a cup of tea for them, then turned and left, closing the door behind her.
Chen Dong spoke with the two men about the future plans.
Now is the time when we need people.
After more than half a year of investigation, Jiang Fei, A Hu, and A Long have truly come into Chen Dong's view.
The reason for speaking with the two of them now is to hear their opinions, and it can be considered as the final test.
In real life, there are countless examples of people sharing hardships.
But when it comes to sharing happiness, things are never quite as satisfactory as they seem.
Not everyone is like Chen Dong, who knows the trends of future development.
It's fair to say that if Chen Dong came up with any idea, Jiang Fei and the others could live a life of comfort and security.
But when it comes to endless wealth and luxury, ideas alone are not enough; one must also put in the effort.
Chen Dong: "Brother Fei, A Long, Longteng Foreign Trade's trade with Russia is now on the right track."
"What I mean is that the three of you step down and take charge of another area."
"With the booming development of the domestic economy, buying and selling is not a long-term solution. I plan to take out some money and invest in the real economy. If you are willing, I would like to entrust it to you to manage."
The two men smoked and fell into deep thought.
Chen Dong wasn't in a hurry. He had chosen his own path, and everyone has the right to choose their future. It all depended on how they chose.
