Chapter 32: Agarwood

"Old Zhong, it's you."
After Chen Jiajun saw the old man, he immediately restrained a lot.
The identity of this old man is not simple. There are at least five jewellery shops in Jiangdu and his worth is calculated on a billion.
The purpose of Chen Jiajun's coming today is not only to show his strength in front of Lin Yi, but also to make friends with some local snakes in Jiangdu.
He opened a company in Jiangdu, and it is inevitable that he would deal with these people. Although relying on his grandfather's identity, he can easily do many things, but relying on his own ability will not be made irresponsible by others. After all, the Chen family does not He is not the only boy.
"Yeah, I was very happy to see you just now, so I didn't feel embarrassed to come over and interrupt."
The voice of the old man is very flat, and after decades of experience, he has long been able to be happy and angry.
"How come, today you are the oldest person in the room, and I am thinking about waiting for us juniors to come to you for advice."
Several elderly people came today, but they are still incomparable with Zhong Lao's qualifications.
"You're welcome, Xiao Chen, if you have anything to do in Jiang from now on, just go directly to this old man of me. By the way, show me the bracelet in your hand."
"Old Zhong, you are..."
Chen Jiajun is a little puzzled, what is this old man doing?
"Nothing, it just feels interesting, so just take a look."
"Okay, look at it."
Chen Jiajun handed over the bracelet.
Mr. Zhong himself was actually not very sure, he seemed very casual when he took it.
But just after getting the hand, his face changed instantly.
Old Zhong's expression became serious, and even his face twitched slightly. Not only that, he carefully held the string of bracelets with both hands, and gently rubbed it with his fingers, as if looking at the skin of a young girl, so careful.
The sudden change of Mr. Zhong attracted everyone's attention, and even Chen Jiajun's face changed slightly unknowingly.
This reaction of Zhong Lao can only explain one problem. It seems that it is not simple to be judged as a stone bracelet by everyone.
However, no one knows how much it is worth.
"Mr. Lin, take the liberty to ask, do you have any thoughts on this bracelet?"
Suddenly, Elder Zhong reacted and said directly to Lin Yi.
In fact, this is very impolite. After all, none of the people present are short of money. It would be a shame to sell things in person.
But Mr. Zhong was obviously a little uncomfortable at this time, and he was a little trembling when he spoke.
Lin Yi was still stunned just now, when he was asked by Zhong Lao suddenly, only then did he react.
At this time, she finally realized a problem. The thing Li Tian gave her was very valuable. It's so expensive that even Zhong Lao, who is worth a billion yuan, will buy it without hesitation.
You said this thing is only worth hundreds of thousands? Just kidding, isn't Zhong Lao's face worth the money?
"Elder Zhong, this... was actually given to me by my husband. I really don't have the right to call the shots."
Lin Yi couldn't just say not to sell it, so he pushed the matter to Li Tian in one sentence.
"Ah? That clock is always right. I gave this thing to my wife. It's the first one. Of course it's not for sale."
Li Tian immediately understood Lin Yi's meaning, but just after finishing speaking, Lin Yi gave him a blank glance.
Ok? What's the matter, isn't it right? She wants to sell it?
Just as Li Tian was about to change his mouth, Lin Yi said again: "Old Zhong, I'm really embarrassed, this gift is also very meaningful to me, so..."
What a big shit, when I gave it to you, you wouldn't even look at it.
When Elder Zhong heard Lin Yi say this, his eyes showed extremely disappointed, but he quickly adjusted.
"Mr. Lin, this is a good thing. I originally wanted to buy it as a treasure of the town shop, but I didn't expect that Mr. Lin had no idea to make a move. It seems that he can only pass by this treasure."
what! The treasure of the town shop?
Everyone was a little dumbfounded when they heard this. Who is Mr. Zhong? He has things worth tens of millions in his shop, and he even buys this bracelet back as the treasure of the town shop. Doesn't it mean...
Chen Jiajun's face has become very ugly. He didn't expect an ordinary stone bracelet to get such a high evaluation.
He didn't believe it. Could it be Lin Yi deliberately colluding with Mr. Zhong to perform the show?
"Elder Zhong, forgive us for our blindness, isn't this thing just an ordinary stone? How could it be so valuable?"
Chen Jiajun asked, if Mr. Zhong couldn't give a reason to convince everyone, then this is definitely acting.
"Haha, it's normal for Xiao Chen not to recognize it, even I almost didn't recognize it myself. Since you want to know, then I will talk about this. Agarwood, have you heard of it?"
"I've heard of it, and there are still a few more pieces in my house. My grandfather said that a piece of fine agarwood is equivalent to fifty grams of gold of the same quality."
Chen Jiajun immediately replied.
"Yes, the premium agarwood is indeed at that price."
"Could it be that this piece is agarwood? No, isn't agarwood exuding a fragrance? Especially when it is lit, the fragrance will be very strong, and the hardness is not so great."
"This can be said to be agarwood, or it can be said that it is not. This piece is called water agarwood, which is a fossil state formed after agarwood is soaked in water for thousands of years. It looks like a stone on the surface, but The value is immeasurable, even if it is the best agarwood, it is not worth mentioning in front of the water agarwood."
"Water agarwood?"
Chen Jiajun thinks that he is not short-sighted, but this is the first time he has heard of this name.
"Elder Zhong, how come the juniors have never heard of this water agarwood? And this is no different from ordinary stones, how do you know this is water agarwood?"
Although Chen Jiajun spoke respectfully, his tone meant that you would never get it wrong, did you just make us believe it?
Mr. Zhong is also a human being, and he doesn't understand what he means.
"Why, what Xiao Chen meant I was wrong?"
Zhong Lao responded coldly.
A junior questioning himself so much made him feel very shameless.
"This...no, the younger generation dare not."
"Well, since you want to prove it, then I will tell you about the identification method of this water agarwood. First of all, look at the texture, the obvious tree ring, which is also the most obvious sign of the water agarwood. But this This method is not very practical. After all, some stones do form this kind of tree ring, or some other wood fossils also have. Agarwood has another characteristic, which you are optimistic about."
After Zhong Lao finished speaking, he put the bracelet on his palm, folded his hands together, and began to rub it together.
