Throwing down the phone and looking at the dark night outside the window, Li Yi cursed in his heart, NND, it’s a damn bird that is facing the sky, and I will never die forever! He is not a hero who is compassionate to the world. Why should he let these unbearable things? If you get mad, I will worry about you!

I decided, I don’t care, I will set out tomorrow and go bet!

Having said that, he still called Wang Haoqing. Now, it seems that this guy is the only one who can help him.

After listening to Li Yi's story quietly, Wang Haoqing's mouth raised a smile.

"I understand. Since he has this idea, haha, this matter is really no big deal! Oh, the dog bites a dog's mouth, after you say this, I'm really looking forward to it..."

Li Yi rolled his eyes, and said, he is another person who doesn't care about the big deal! But Wang Haoqing's ease can obviously affect his mood more. Perhaps, he really made things too complicated?

The next morning, the three of them took China Southern Airlines flight and flew directly to Coconut City. On the plane, when they remembered the strange cold air in the demonic eyes, a hint of hope surged in Li Yi's heart. Will there be these woods? If so, is it called so-called so-called? Then, is it a tree eye or a wooden eye?

After checking in the hotel, Gu Feng went out alone. He first rented a seven-seat, five-seat off-road vehicle from the car rental company he had contacted in advance, and then walked around the Coconut City. After returning to the hotel, he directly found Zheng Shusen and Li Yi who were holding a coconut to suck juice alone.

"Brother Yi, I have seen it. There are four large timber markets here, one in state-owned and one in private. The remaining one is mixed with stone and the other is old timber market. You can bet on wood in these four places, but the private market has the largest scale."

Zheng Shusen asked curiously:

"So many places can be gambled? Are there so many sea yellow?"

Gu Feng shook his head. In these places, only the private markets are mainly Hainan Huanghuali and Vietnam Huanghuali, while others are gambling on various mahogany.

Various mahogany trees? Zheng Shusen shook his head in pain. Mahogany is divided into two families, five genera, and eight categories, with a total of thirty-three types. If you want to distinguish these tree species one by one, it will probably take a year and a half, let alone bets.

Like them, they are just here to play, but now you have created so many varieties at once. Isn’t this to embarrass them? At that time, you can’t even recognize them, and you don’t even dare to speak out, and you’re still betting on it?

Li Yi nodded indifferently. The 16-centimeter perspective distance was enough to make him despise all the merchants who bet on wood and those professional buyers, and also despise about 95% of the mahogany.

Why there are still 5% of the remaining ones, it is because of the characteristics of mahogany.

Mahogany plants such as rosewood, yellow rosewood, and rosewood are not called mahogany, but only the part of the tree whose heart has been stained and changed color can be called mahogany. The other parts are similar to ordinary wood and have no value. This is what wood merchants often call heartwood and sapwood.

The so-called heartwood is the corresponding word for sapwood, which refers to the part of wood that is close to the center of the perennial wood, which has a significantly darker color and is completely different from the surrounding white sapwood. Only furniture made of this part of colored wood can be called mahogany furniture.

Redwood is heartwood, so the ones that gamble on wood are heartwood.

Heartwood is gradually transformed from sapwood. In the heartwood, there is no longer the existence of living cells, nor does it assume the function of transporting saps and storing nutrients. It mainly supports the entire plant. Therefore, the heartwood is generally harder and denser than the sapwood and has less moisture content, especially because it has been infiltrated by various substances, so it is not easy to rot.

Redwoods such as rosewood, rosewood, fragrant branch wood, etc. are collectively called redwood because the cell walls of dead cells in their heartwood are soaked in certain red or purple pigments, which leads to a series of near-reds such as light reddish-brown to black-brown, which is collectively called redwood.

Because the heartwood changes color by infiltrating certain substances, and this infiltration cannot be an average existence. In addition, the heartwood is surrounded by the sapwood on the periphery of the tree. If it is not opened, it is impossible to know the specific situation of the heartwood inside. You can only judge and bet based on the appearance, weight and other data of the wood, so there is a saying that betting on wood.

The part that is more thoroughly wet, that is, what we often call the part that is better wax or oily. The part that is incompletely wet is not much different from the sapwood. It is not only light in color but also easy to corrode. Therefore, the betting wood merchants generally call it hollow.

Betting on wood means gambling with more or less of the completely wet part of the heartwood, in other words, it is also gambling with empty spaces.

Before a mahogany is opened, it can only observe and guess from the two sections of the beginning and end, so the risk of gambling on the wood is relatively high.

However, unlike gambling stones, each type of mahogany is basically fixed within a range according to its growth characteristics. Generally speaking, there will be no large deviation, so the difficulty of gambling wood is much smaller than gambling stones.

Moreover, the characteristics of the log also determine that it cannot be the same as the wool material, and it will cause a loss of not even a trace of slag after one knife.

In other words, even if you pay, you will only pay for the quality and quantity of the mahogany part, and you will not bet on the empty bet like gambling stones that have no jadeite at all.

Unless you are a fool, the wood you bet on is not mahogany at all!

In addition, just like gambling with stones, gambling with colors and types, gambling with wood not only requires gambling with wax, but also requires gambling with wood grain.

Beautiful wood grain mahogany is like a beautiful jadeite, and its value is far higher than that of those beautiful wood grain or not yet fully formed. And wax is like the water of jadeite. The deeper it is soaked, the greater the oiliness it is, the higher its value.

Therefore, although the difficulty of gambling wood is significantly reduced compared to gambling stones, the risks involved are unknown to those merchants who gambling wood.

Especially after so many years of logging, almost all the old woods are on the verge of extinction, and new woods are like jadeites in new pits. Not only are the quality worse, but their internal situations have become more difficult to measure due to the insufficient growth years.

"Brother Yi, we are here to bet on wood this time. Do you want to make bracelets, beads and other pieces or do furniture?"

After Gu Feng finished introducing the situation, he asked another question.

Li Yi raised his eyebrows, is there any difference?

"Yes, if you have furniture, you must have some big materials. As far as I know, the size of the entire log must be at least 50 cm. And here in Coconut City, and even the entire Hainan, are mostly small materials. If you want to make furniture, you will probably have to travel to Vietnam."

Li Yi nodded without comment. He came here mainly to see if there is any redwood containing cool air. If not, it will be fine. If there is, I am afraid I will have to go to the origin of the wood. At that time, not to mention Vietnam, Africa may pass.

"This is the point, isn't it appropriate to go there today? Otherwise, let's go to the beach?"

Zheng Shusen looked at his watch and suggested swimming in the beachfront. If time is too late, he would also want to try diving.

The hotel booked by Li Yi and the others is not far from the beach, and this season is not a peak tourist season. You won’t encounter such a situation where people are crowded in the bathhouse, so it is more appropriate to go and have fun.

Moreover, even if you don’t go to the beach, it’s the first time you have come to them. Those Hainan specialties such as pearls, corals, shells, coconut carvings, and Li Jin are worth checking out.

Finally, the three of them agreed to go diving by the beach first, and then go to the streets after dinner, and buy some souvenirs to take them back.

After the three arrived at the beach, they happened to catch a yacht preparing to dive in the sea before it was full, so they paid the money without saying a word, received the equipment, and walked towards the yacht under the guidance of the instructor.

"Brother Yi, let's have fun today and see the situation under the sea. If it's fun, we'll rent a boat and rent a few sets of diving equipment another day. I'll take you to a deeper place. It's best to find a local person as a guide to see the coral reefs under the sea. Wow, that's so beautiful!"

After hearing what he said, it was not only Zheng Shusen, but also Li Yi was excited. On TV, the coral reefs were so beautiful that they were fascinating. If I could go down by myself, it would feel...

"You guys, don't dream. Over the years, due to pollution and overdevelopment of tourism resources, there are no coral reefs offshore, and there are also some dead reefs. If you want to see beautiful coral reefs, you have to dive at least 50 meters! If you still have this kind of simple diving prop, even a professional like me can only dive to a depth of 15 meters, not to mention, even if you are equipped with professional diving props, you..."

When the coach heard their chatting enthusiastically, he couldn't help but hit them. His eyes passed by Li Yi and Gu Feng. When he saw Zheng Shusen, he shook his head slightly. These two might be able to dive for twenty or thirty meters. As for you, go play ten meters deep!

Li Yi and his team signed up for a comprehensive tourism project. The entire activity includes three items, three hours, including one hour diving, one hour afternoon tea and swimming, and one hour coastal driving.

Because of this, the yacht they rode was quite beautiful. It was more than 20 meters long, two layers on the water surface, one layer under the water, and a beautiful streamlined silver shell. Because it is still relatively new, it does not look like a travel company thing, but rather a private yacht.

Several people walked onto the yacht one after another. Before Li Yi could look around, he heard a plop, and a big fat man trembled and fell in front of him.
