Chapter 390

Li Du asked: "But, didn't you just say that you only play woodcarving for fun?"

Chen Haonan said, "I lied to you."

Li Du took a sip of his soda, but didn't know what to say again.

Hans was anxious and said, "Speak English, speak English."

Chen Haonan glanced at him, changed to English and said, "I don't speak English well."

"That's a good point." Hans gave a thumbs up.

Chen Haonan said triumphantly: "Of course, for the sake of explanation, I deliberately learned this sentence very well."

Li Du was defeated by him, he said: "Okay, I can be your interpreter..."

Turning his head, he said to Hans: "This buddy's ancestors used to play with wood. He determined the material of the wood. All together, he bought it for 100,000 yuan."

Hans pointed to the wooden pier and said, "What kind of wood is this? It's worth 20,000 yuan?"

Li Du nodded and said: "Yes, this is the emperor among the mahogany, Nanhai Huanghuali wood!"

Upon hearing this, Hans went up to try it out, and said, "This wood weighs 20 kilograms. Is it yellow rosewood? Then it should be worth 30,000 yuan!"

Li Du conveyed Hans' words to Chen Haonan, and the latter laughed loudly, saying: "This foreign devil is a bit interesting, and he still pays 30,000 yuan. Doesn't he know that this wood is the price that was raised by others?"

"The price of the building has also been raised, but everyone still trades according to the current price."

Chen Haonan said: "Come on, buddy, let me introduce you to a rule of playing with wood, that is, the bigger the wood, the more valuable it is. The 1.5 million a ton you mentioned refers to two or three tons of large wood, so don't say one ton 1.5 million, 10 million per ton is possible.”

"So expensive?" Li Du was shocked.

Chen Haonan said: "The one who was fired, I remember that this thing didn't have much money before 2003, and it started to be fired in 2003, and the price went crazy in 2007, and finally reached this price."

As if he was afraid that Li Du would not believe it, he introduced it in detail again, telling how the mahogany market changed in that year, like a treasure.

Unlike the crazy and joking before, when it comes to the mahogany industry, Chen Haonan is confident and calm, with an expert demeanor.

Li Du asked, "Why are you so clear?"

Chen Haonan coughed, and said, "I'm sorry, my old man is a profiteer, and he has almost joined in such things as frying wood."

Li Du asked: "Then the final price of this wood?"

Chen Haonan said: "Let's just follow the price of your foreign devil friend, 30,000."

He was so happy, Li Du felt embarrassed, and said, "Why don't you make it cheaper?"

Chen Haonan shook his head and said, "No need, we're not short of 10,000 yuan, bargaining is meaningless, let's chat."

"ah?"

Chen Haonan said with a sad face: "You may also feel that I am a bit talkative, right?"

Li Du nodded frantically in his heart. Except for the Chinese lover with super sensitive ears he met when he was buying a carriage, he had never seen such a chatterbox.

Chen Haonan said helplessly: "Brother, I'm always held back! I don't speak English well, and I usually don't meet a few compatriots here, so I have no place to talk!"

"Then why did you emigrate here?" Li Du asked strangely.

Chen Haonan opened his mouth, didn't explain, just sighed and said: "It's your own fault."

The deal was worth 110,000 yuan, and the wood was sold. In addition, Li Du also had some mahogany leftovers, such as small-leaf red sandalwood boards, big red rosewood wood chips, and so on.

Chen Haonan accepted these things, but he didn't buy them and didn't want them, and would turn them into pearls and return them to Li Du.

Li Du accepted, not because he wanted to take advantage of it, but because he saw Chen Haonan's purpose in doing this: let him come over a few more times and chat with him more.

The business was closed, he didn't leave directly, and spent an afternoon here.

When he was not talking during the period, he studied the wood carvings in the room and found that Chen Haonan was worthy of his ancestral craftsmanship. The carving was skillful and delicate, and there were a few of his self-statues, which were extremely lifelike.

For dinner in the evening, Chen Haonan took them out to find a restaurant.

The Phoenix-Scottsdale area is the place with the most restaurants in the Southwest, and Tempe belongs to this area. It has a very famous food truck food hub.

Passing by Arizona State University during the period, Li Du found many faces of Chinese descent, so he said to Chen Haonan: "By the way, there is a university here, and there are many Chinese students in it, right?"

Chen Haonan sighed and said, "I've had an accident here, so I'm not allowed to get close to the area where this school is located, alas, it hurts."

This doesn't work, that doesn't work either, Li Du also feels pain in the ass.

Fortunately, there are indeed many delicacies in Tempe. After they entered the food court, the dazzling array of delicacies soothed their aching eggs.

Chen Haonan looked for food when he had nothing to do, and he was very familiar with this place. He stopped the extremely cool Lamborghini on the side of the road, patted his chest and said, "Come with me later, I will let you have a stomachache!"

Li Du blinked, what the hell is the paralysis and stomachache?

But with Godzilla and Da Ao around, they would have enough to eat, then Chen Haonan really had some money.

There are a lot of food trucks here in Food Exchange. They are not the small breakfast trucks in Li Du's hometown, but rather large ones rebuilt from cars.

There was a long line in front of a food truck, and diners even squeezed onto the sidewalk to block the passage.

Chen Haonan asked him and Hans to wait for a while, and squeezed Godzilla and Da Ao to the front, and said in broken Mandarin: "Sorry, friend, we are in a hurry and don't have time to line up, can you help me buy some?"

The black youth kept his head down and played with his mobile phone. When Chen Haonan finished speaking, he casually raised his head and prepared to refuse, but after he saw the appearance of Da O and Godzilla, he immediately smiled and said, "Of course."

Soon, Chen Haonan came back with a bunch of boxes, and said with a smile on his face: "Come here, crispy fried sausage potatoes, this thing is very famous. Every time I come to buy it, I have to queue for a long time. This is the first time I didn't queue up. I bought it."

Li Du was given a portion, which was covered with crispy fried potatoes and sweet mashed potatoes with fluffy and soft chili sausage scrambled eggs, which had a rich taste.

They walked forward while eating, and came to a beer house, where there was still a long queue, and Chen Haonan squeezed to the front again with Godzilla and Da Ao.

Soon, they came back with bags of draft beer, and Chen Haonan continued to smile.

Li Du said: "Let's line up, you are easy to get beaten, you know that?"

Chen Haonan nodded and said, "I know, but if I bring your two bodyguards with me, I won't be beaten."

Godzilla and Ou were accomplices, and the two were not very happy, but because someone provided free food, they did not object.

A group of people were having a good meal when suddenly someone came over and said enthusiastically, "Xiao Chen? Oh, long time no see, I miss you so much!"
