"Huh? They're going to force us? What if they call the police..."
"Why call the police? You're her grandmother! Even if you call the police, they won't do anything!"
Jiang Meifeng nodded firmly, "Okay, tomorrow it is!"
During this time, Shu Aiguo went to Nanhai City with Master Liang.
The South China Sea rosewood grows in the low-altitude area of Diaoluo Mountain and Jianfengling, where the climate is humid and the growth is slow. According to Master Liang, it takes hundreds of years for the heartwood to grow to the thickness of a bowl.
The formation of knots only occurs during harsh weather conditions, which is what makes the "ghost face" pattern so sought after in the market.
Of course, all of this was explained to Shu Aiguo by Master Liang.
If it weren't for Master Liang, Shu Aiguo would never have known there were so many intricacies involved in rosewood. However, after witnessing the living conditions of the locals during his time in Nanhai, Shu Aiguo also understood why the government turned a blind eye to the felling of rosewood.
"Patriotism, look at this piece of wood, what pattern does this ghost face look like?"
Shu Aiguo stared at it for a long time, "Like a peacock?"
"Absolutely!" Master Liang exclaimed excitedly, almost slapping his thigh. He was an appraiser, and as people get older, they all appreciate huanghuali wood. He had always wanted to see more huanghuali, but he lacked the money and resources to access it. Now that Shu Aiguo had brought money, Master Liang finally had the opportunity to see some good pieces.
"Patriotism, the ghost face on this piece of wood is really beautiful. If you take it back and make it into a Chinese-style wardrobe, it will definitely be very enchanting."
Shu Aiguo understood his meaning. The cabinet he ordered for the girl's family had a peacock-shaped knot on it, giving the cabinet a natural beauty.
Nature bestowed such a gift upon the South China Sea, just as God gave him Chu Yu, his niece. If it weren't for Chu Yu's matchmaking, how would Shu Aiguo have known that introducing a production line would require good timber, and that the best and most expensive timber in China was South China Sea rosewood?
"And this piece, the color and grain of the wood go from light to dark. If you find a good craftsman to make furniture from it, it will definitely be made exceptionally beautiful." Master Liang couldn't help but sigh when he encountered something good, and he really wanted to transport this batch of wood to Beijing right now.
Shu Aiguo handed a cigarette to Master Liang, and took one out for himself, tucking it behind his ear. He had been in Nanhai for more than half a month and had almost finished purchasing the timber. Fortunately, due to the current information gap, the price of Nanhai rosewood had not yet skyrocketed in the market.
Shu Aiguo was able to acquire huanghuali wood at a relatively reasonable price.
There was a piece of wood weighing one or two thousand kilograms in the area, which was really exceptional. Shu Aiguo was overjoyed and went to a place in town to call Chu Yu.
