Pick up bargains in Chinatown and make 10,000 times the profit at the beginning

Chapter 38 Paul's Action
Not long after Lin Yuan and his companions walked forward, they saw an Indian performing a dangling show, which attracted a lot of people's attention.

This is Ah San's famous levitation technique.

However, the core secret of this performance has long been exposed and is no longer mysterious.

First of all, all people who perform levitation wear loose clothes and large and thick clothes in order to cover up their seats.

Secondly, for performers sitting on the ground, there will be a blanket under their buttocks to cover the heavy steel plate underneath.

Finally, the most important prop for street performers of levitation is a specially made chair.

The performer holds a cane with one hand so that his body can float in the air.

In fact, his crutch was actually connected to a chair, and his so-called levitation was just sitting on a chair, but the chair and the connection between it and the crutch were covered by his clothes.

Paul looked disgusted.

"Clown!" Paul cursed in a low voice.

Seeing Lin Yuan's strange look, Henry explained: "These Indians are very uncivilized. They always urinate and defecate everywhere."

The fact that Indians urinate and defecate in public is known to the whole world and is no longer a secret. It is very common in their own country and abroad.

Asan and his people did not deny this matter and even said it was their culture. It's weird!
In fact, Americans hate Indians not only because they urinate and defecate anywhere and are unhygienic, but also because they have taken away many of their jobs in the United States.

Nowadays, many senior executives of large companies and enterprises in the United States are Indians.

Besides, it's the Indians who are defrauding the Americans.

This is not a joke. It is outrageous that Indians can defraud Americans of hundreds of billions of dollars every year.

Lin Yuan nodded slightly to show his understanding.

If Indians did this within China, it would certainly arouse anger and hostility from the Chinese.

Thanks to the Himalayas, we can block the stench from the Indians. Otherwise, it would be disgusting to have such neighbors. Fortunately, the Himalayas are high enough.

Lin Yuan approached but did not expose the other person's performance.

In front of it was a basin with a few scattered US dollar bills in it and a few performance props placed beside the basin.

Suddenly, Lin Yuan's eyes fell on Asan's cane hanging in the air.

The treasure-hunting instrument showed green light, indicating that it was also a treasure worth less than 10 US dollars.

So, Lin Yuan whispered something in Henry's ear.

Henry's eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked at Ah San, not so annoying anymore. However, he still needed to think of a way to get that thing.

As soon as Paul saw Lin Yuan and Henry, he guessed something and was very surprised.

He came up to Henry and asked, "Are there any treasures?"

Henry nodded: “Lin said that the cane is valuable.”

"So what are you waiting for? Let's go?"

Henry rolled his eyes: "Robbering people in the street?"

Paul: "It's easy. Just watch me and cooperate with me."

Henry: "..."

Paul started his tricks.

He grabbed Henry's hand and slapped himself hard in the face.

Lin Yuan felt pain when he heard that voice, and he couldn't figure out what Paul was going to do for a while! Henry was a little confused. At this time, Paul whispered, "Run quickly."

Although Henry didn't know what he was going to do, he still tried his best to cooperate and ran in a certain direction.

All I heard was Paul yelling, "Son of a bitch! Don't run!"

Paul looked around and saw the performer's cane. He went forward and snatched it away, then angrily chased after Henry in the direction he ran.

At this time, even Asan, who was performing, was watching the show happily, and had no idea that he had lost a treasure.

Lin Yuan exclaimed in his heart, "What a guy!" He chuckled and followed.

Not long after, Ah San realized that his walking stick seemed to be gone forever.

At this time, the cane had fallen into Lin Yuan's hands.

Henry asked, "What treasure is this?"

Lin Yuan explained simply: "It's made of small-leaf red sandalwood."

Henry understood immediately. Although he didn't know much about rosewood, he knew that it was a precious wood.

Rosewood is the highest grade of mahogany, a dark purple-black hardwood that is most suitable for making furniture and carved artworks.

The objects made of red sandalwood can be polished with wax without lacquer, and the surface will show a satin-like luster. Therefore, some people say that anything made of red sandalwood is cherished by people.

It takes a hundred years for red sandalwood to become useful material. A red sandalwood tree needs to grow for hundreds of years before it can be used, so red sandalwood is very precious.

Paul was confused. Although red sandalwood is also a high-end wood in foreign countries, Paul had never come into contact with it, so it was normal that he didn't know about it.

Henry told him, “Pearlwood is one of the most expensive woods in the world and comes from India.”

Lin Yuan corrected him, "It's not just in India. It's also abundant in places like Africa. But it's true that the red sandalwood from India is more precious."

As far as he knows, the diameter of red sandalwood is usually around 15 cm, the trunk is twisted and rarely straight, and there are many hollows. There is a saying that "nine out of ten sandalwoods are hollow".

"If I'm not mistaken, this is still Venus Rosewood."

Venus rosewood is a relatively precious variety of rosewood.

"Golden Star" refers to the fact that after this kind of red sandalwood is broken and polished, golden dots will flash in every eye.

In fact, the so-called bright spots are the gelatinous crystals between the vascular fibers of trees. Other woods also have them, but this kind of wood is precious, deified and over-praised.

In addition, the brown eyes of Venus rosewood are twisted or "S"-shaped. When viewed from a side angle, they appear as undulating "bean-shaped" patterns, which shimmer like satin in the sun and are very beautiful.

It has a delicate and smooth texture and purple-black color. When made into utensils, after being aged and formed into a patina, the color becomes dark gray, simple and solemn, and is especially suitable for fine carving.

Lin Yuan said with regret: "It's a pity that such a good piece of material was wasted by Ah San. If it fell into the hands of a Chinese sculptor, its value would at least increase several times."

Paul asked, "So how much is it worth?"

"About thirty to fifty thousand dollars!"

When Henry heard this, he smiled happily. Thirty or fifty thousand was already a lot.

You know, this is free, I didn't spend a penny. No wonder those black Shiba Inus like to buy it for free. Henry suddenly found that this feeling is really good.

Henry and Paul were a little excited and looked at the other street performers with shining eyes.

Lin Yuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and quickly waved his hand to persuade him: "You should do less freeloading in the future."

You have to know that this is free America. If someone speaks out the truth, you won't know where to appeal for justice even if you die.

Suddenly, a Chinese voice came from the front: Donuts are so delicious!
