Chapter 37 Diamonds of the Plant World
In the huge live broadcast room, people who are familiar with Lin Yuan feel that things are not as simple as they seem.

Ever since Lin Yuan changed the track, he has made a lot of money every time he made a move. I guess the wooden talisman must have something extraordinary about it.

While the people in the live broadcast room were discussing, Lin Yuan pulled Henry and Paul, who were eager to try, away.

Henry and Paul saw that this oriental wizard's calculations were quite accurate, so they also planned to give it a try. But since Lin Yuan wanted to take them away, they had to give up.

At this time, Lin Yuan noticed the discussion in the live broadcast room and explained: "This wooden talisman is carved from agarwood."

Everyone understood this explanation.

As we all know, the production process of natural wild agarwood is full of contingency and complexity. It originates from the Aquilaria tree of the Thymelaeaceae family, which secretes resin after being harmed by the outside world, and is formed after years of baptism and natural aging.

In China, agarwood is sought after for its elegant fragrance, long-lasting aroma, and health-promoting properties, and has gradually led to a fragrance-producing activity centered on spices, incense products, and incense utensils.

This process of producing incense has gradually achieved the sublimation from physiological feelings to psychological feelings in the long social life, and over time formed an agarwood culture.

After seeing Lin Yuan's interaction with everyone in the live broadcast room, Henry and Paul realized that Lin Yuan had made a fortune again.

Seeing everyone talking so mysteriously, Henry couldn't help but take it and put it to his nose to smell it. A minty coolness, accompanied by a faint sweetness and the fragrance of flowers, penetrated Henry's nostrils.

Is this the smell of agarwood?
Paul was not familiar with agarwood and had not even heard of it. He touched Henry and asked, "Is this wood valuable?"

Although Henry had heard of it, he didn't know much. He said uncertainly, "It should be valuable. The Chinese can always make the most of wood. Many worthless pieces of wood can be turned into treasures by the Chinese."

He was talking about wood carving.

Lin Yuan corrected them: "First of all, this is not wood."

When these words were spoken, not only Paul and Henry were stunned, but the audience in the live broadcast room almost thought that Lin Yuan had said something wrong.

We are not blind. Can't we tell whether it is wood or not?

Of course, there were also people who knew the business. When they heard Lin Yuan’s words, they nodded slightly to show their approval.

"It's not wood?" Paul scratched the hair beside his ears, and suddenly he was at a loss. Was there something wrong with his eyes, or was there something wrong with his ears?
Lin Yuan explained to them: "To be precise, agarwood is not just wood.

It is a special kind of fragrant wood that is a mixture of sap and wood debris fibers that are secreted when the wood is eaten by insects, chopped, or has tree patterns.

To put it simply, it is a combination of wood and resin.”

Its essence is the same as amber, but amber takes millions of years to form, while agarwood is different. Agarwood is formed after the resin condenses.

As far as Lin Yuan knows, agarwood can be divided into several types.

In the collecting and speculation circles, mature agarwood ranks first in price. It takes many years to collect mature agarwood, because after the wood dies, it will rot, be exposed to wind and rain, and eventually only a small piece of agarwood will be left. This kind of agarwood is black and has a restrained fragrance.

Secondly, the scars left when the tree was still alive were formed by the condensation of resin. This kind of agarwood often has a certain shape and is lighter in color, so the price in the collection world is not that high.

Finally, it should be the incense formed after the tree is eaten by insects and diseased. This kind of agarwood is often small in size and has a strange shape. Unless the shape is particularly beautiful and has special meaning, the price will be very high.

Paul: “So is it worth anything?”

Lin Yuan asked him back: "Are diamonds valuable?" Paul nodded when he heard it. He didn't know anything else, but the whole world knew that diamonds were valuable.

"Agarwood is known as the diamond of the plant world," Lin Yuan told him.

Henry was slightly surprised. This was the first time he heard such a statement.

"Isn't it sold by the gram?" Henry was surprised.

Lin Yuan nodded slightly: "Redwood is sold by ton, rosewood is sold by kilogram, and agarwood is sold by gram! This is common sense in the collection world."

This is not empty talk. The price of agarwood is now far higher than that of gold. The price of good agarwood is several times or even dozens of times that of gold, and the price of agarwood is hundreds of times that of gold.

"If I'm not mistaken, this is the holy grail among agarwoods - Kynam agarwood. Kynam agarwood generally costs tens of thousands of yuan per gram, of course, in RMB." Lin Yuan continued.

And the piece he got was not just agarwood, but possibly the best of all agarwood.

Because he heard that agarwood is called the greatest treasure in the world and is divided into five types, namely one white, two green, three purple, four yellow and five black.

It is said that it takes tens to hundreds of years for the fifth-grade black agarwood to form from the day the fungus invades.

Because the black agarwood is not yet mature, the fungus has spread to part of it. Although it has turned black due to the coverage of oil, the uninfected part is still woody, so it is mostly distributed in a tiger-striped pattern.

Henry calculated that 10,000 RMB per gram is equivalent to about 1,000 to 2,000 USD.

This is indeed much more expensive than gold.

No wonder it is known as the diamond of the plant world.

Paul couldn't believe that a piece of wood could be so expensive. It was simply terrifying.

At this moment, Lin Yuan’s live broadcast room received a private message asking Lin Yuan whether he would sell the wooden talisman and saying that Lin Yuan could set the price.

Maybe because he saw that Lin Yuan didn’t say anything and thought that Lin Yuan didn’t see it, the other party sent a private message again, asking if he would sell it for $30.

Lin Yuan had no choice but to say, "A brother is interested in my wooden talisman and offered $300,000. I want to ask him, brother, I am overseas, how can I make the transaction? Should I send it back? You may not worry, but I do!"

After all, who would trust to mail a treasure worth more than 2 million RMB? Isn't that too careless?
The man sent another private message, saying that he was in the United States, but in New York, and if Lin Yuan was willing to transfer, he would fly over tomorrow.

"Okay, then you can fly over here! I won't trade it away until tomorrow, so I'll keep it for you."

Although the other viewers in the live broadcast room did not see the specific content of the private message, they basically understood that someone had taken a fancy to the wooden talisman that Lin Yuan had just obtained, offered a price of 30 US dollars, and even flew to San Francisco in person.

Lin Yuan's old fans sighed: "Old Lin is getting better! In the past two or three days, he has earned hundreds of thousands of dollars every day."

Henry and Paul next to them looked at him with admiration.

At this point, they are more determined to hold on to this support, which will save them decades of hard work, or even allow them to not have to struggle for the rest of their lives.

Lin Yuan and the others suddenly heard the sound of an ambulance. They turned around and saw that the black boy who was hit by the car before had finally received the ambulance, but he didn't move and they didn't know whether he was still alive.
