Chu Yu knew this was a good thing, and she didn't say anything else. Like a sucker being manipulated, she tossed a purse to Huang Laoquan, who was so excited that his yellow teeth trembled.
"You really want to buy it? Eight thousand yuan? Wow! You're such a generous person, paying so quickly."
Chu Yu smiled and said, "I don't really know much about it. I just want to buy a bed to live in myself. It doesn't matter if it's a little more or a little less. I'm too lazy to make a second trip."
Old Huang gave a thumbs up. Little Huang thought Chu Yu had overpaid, but Chu Yu didn't say anything. She just told them to pack up the bed, load it onto a truck, and transport it to the courtyard.
Xiao Huang wanted to go with the truck, but Chu Yu waved him off when she saw the furniture. "It's not safer to go with him. Just be casual. He'll probably think this stuff isn't valuable and won't bother with it."
Chu Yu went outside, gave the driver five hundred yuan, and asked in a low voice, "Master Liang, did I buy the right thing?"
"It can't be wrong, Miss Zhou. I've looked for antiques for Mr. Dai before, and he knows me well. I never miss anything. Although I can't tell what era that canopy bed is from, it's definitely a good piece. Keep it for a few more years and maybe someone will tell you its true value in the future."
Chu Yu smiled and said, "It's fate that we met. Even if it's not worth much, it doesn't matter. Just use it as an ordinary item."
"You have such a good attitude. I wish those antique dealers had your awareness."
"By the way, Master Liang, may I ask you something? I've heard you're an expert on huanghuali wood. I'd like to ask if there's a lot of huanghuali raw material on the market, and whether it's easy to buy?"
Master Liang seemed somewhat surprised. "Excuse my bluntness, Miss Zhou, what are you buying Hainan rosewood raw materials for?"
Chu Yu told him about Xibao Furniture City. The production line that Xibao imported from Nix was already in place. This year, Xibao planned to expand its scale and produce high-end furniture. Hainan rosewood is a very high-end material for furniture. It was purchased from Hainan and the price was not cheap.
But this price wouldn't be considered valuable in later generations.
In later years, the price of good Hainan Huanghuali rose to tens of millions of yuan per ton, and good quality goods were hard to find. Wherever there was raw material to sell, the whole industry would be in an uproar. Chu Yu thought that it might not be suitable to produce Hainan Huanghuali using foreign production lines, but he had to give it a try regardless of whether it was suitable or not.
Even if it's not suitable, buying some Hainan rosewood to make furniture and hoarding it will accumulate into a considerable fortune over time.
Master Liang was surprised to find that she was in the furniture business. He thought to himself that you can't judge a book by its cover. She looked like a delicate young girl, but she seemed a bit smart. Master Liang thought she was just an ordinary college student. Who would have thought she was a businesswoman?
Master Liang smiled and told Chu Yu everything he knew without holding anything back.
"You don't need to bother buying it in the market. I'll give you directions. You can find someone to look for it in the villages over in the South China Sea. The locals know best how to find Hainan rosewood. Just give me a price, and the whole village will be willing to help you."
"The government shouldn't allow these trees to be cut down, right?"
