"This … is really the best agarwood?"
Qu Yuancheng couldn't believe it. He could only ask Qin Fang very curiously. After all, this box was taken out by Qin Fang. Naturally, Qin Fang also had the most right to speak.
Many people in Hong Kong had heard about the best agarwood, and he was one of them.
Unfortunately, it eventually fell into the hands of a Chinese tycoon in Indonesia. Many people wanted to buy it, including many tycoons in Hong Kong. For example, Old Master Qu once wanted to buy this bracelet for the old lady, but unfortunately, the tycoon didn't sell it at all, no matter how much money he offered …
Unexpectedly, the best agarwood that could make many tycoons kneel down and beg for it was now placed in front of them, and it was carved into such a dirty looking box.
"Not bad …"
Qin Fang nodded. This wooden box was indeed made of the best agarwood. Although it had existed for hundreds of years, only the layer of fragrance on the outside had faded, but the inside was still fragrant. There was no loss at all.
"This … is really a waste of God's gift!"
Although Qu Yuancheng could already know the answer from other people's judgment, when it was really said by Qin Fang, he couldn't help but sigh.
Such a treasure that could only be encountered but not sought, and it was actually made into such a state. It was really a waste of good things …
"You don't have to be so exaggerated …"
Qin Fang shook his head very indifferently.
In fact, he had already checked some things about agarwood before, including the auction that shocked the entire upper class of Southeast Asia. Naturally, he knew the benefits of this thing.
But even so, he didn't care very much. He still put this box made of the best agarwood in the congratulatory gift he wanted to give and sent it directly.
"Grandma, you can find a craftsman to carve this box into a bracelet or Buddhist beads. Wear it on your body. It can guarantee you a long life …"
For the treatment of this box, Qin Fang had already planned in his heart. He immediately said this to the old lady with a smile. Naturally, he also said some auspicious words.
"This spending … tsk tsk, it's not small at all!"
The surrounding guests were also quite shocked. At the same time, many of them looked at the box in the old lady's hand with envy. As they smelled the lingering fragrance, their expressions became extremely strange.
Many rich people were probably thinking about buying it at a high price. However, now that it had fallen into the hands of the Qu family, there was no hope for such a good thing to come out. Everyone could only watch helplessly.
However, more people couldn't help paying more attention to Qin Fang, the son of the Third Miss of the Qu Family who suddenly appeared …
Originally, many people didn't pay much attention to him. However, they didn't expect that once he made a move, everyone would be shocked …
No one thought that the Qu Family had specially arranged this box made of the best quality agarwood to highlight the existence of Qin Fang. If there was really such a good thing, it was impossible for these old guys not to know about it.
Besides, if he really obtained such a high-quality agarwood, why would he use it to make such a dirty wooden box?
Only an idiot would do something like that!
Of course, Qin Fang did it …
Or rather, he didn't have to do this. It was just that when he got the box, it was already like this.
As for where this box made of the best quality agarwood came from, it had to be said that not long ago, Qin Fang and the others encountered the sunken Ming Dynasty treasure ship.
Agarwood wasn't a specialty unique to Long Province. In fact, agarwood was really abundant in Southeast Asia. Back then, San Bao eunuch led the Ming Dynasty treasure ship fleet out to sea and brought a lot of silk, porcelain, tea leaves, and so on. In exchange, he brought back various specialties such as spices, ivory, and so on.
The spices among them were mainly agarwood. The treasure ship that Qin Fang encountered should have unfortunately sunk on the return journey.
Therefore, there were almost no porcelain or silk on that ship. However, there were spices, elephant skin, gemstones, rare beasts, and some other specialties in Southeast Asia.
The treasure ship sunk and stayed in the sea for hundreds of years. Most of the items had already decayed.
They were damaged, and only a few treasures remained.
For example, the wooden box made of the best quality agarwood in Qin Fang's hand was one of them. Although there were many other agarwood, after hundreds of years, and still sunk to the bottom of the sea, many agarwood had been destroyed. Only the best quality agarwood was preserved.
For example, this wooden box, because the interior was more delicate, the fragrance outside was almost soaked away, but the inside was still intact. It was one of the few relatively intact ones. Qin Fang used it as this gift box.
Although its appearance was very inconspicuous, if this wooden box was auctioned, according to the starting price of ten thousand dollars per gram, even so many rich people present would definitely go crazy for it.
The original piece of the best quality agarwood was only more than two hundred grams, and this wooden box wasn't very small and looked quite heavy. It was probably no less than four to five hundred grams …
In this way, the price of this box alone was more than four to five million dollars, which was thirty to forty million Hong Kong dollars.
It wasn't that the rich people present hadn't given valuable gifts. Not to mention tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars, even hundreds of millions had been given. For example, not long ago, Kong Er gave Tang Feifei a diamond necklace worth one hundred and two hundred million.
However, these rich people had never used a box that was worth thirty to forty million yuan to hold a gift … It was already very impressive for the most expensive gift to be wrapped in luxurious packaging that was worth tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands. However, this box … made all the rich people present pale in comparison.
Of course, the price of this box seemed to be so high, but if the Qu Family was willing to sell it, not to mention thirty to forty million, even if it was ten times the price, the rich people present would definitely rush to buy it … Even if the price was doubled, it would still be the same.
"This packaging … is really low-key and luxurious!"
It was said that one couldn't judge a book by its cover, and the sea couldn't be measured with a pint pot. This time, everyone was fooled by Qin Fang's small box. This was really too low-key.
At the beginning, when Qin Fang took it out, it was a dirty wooden box. Anyone who saw it would think that it was worthless. It might even be picked up from a garbage dump. Then, it was packed and sent here after a casual wipe.
But when the truth was revealed, many people expressed considerable helplessness in their eyes. If such a treasure could be found in the garbage dump, the top rich people in Hong Kong would probably rush to dig it up …
Qin Fang was still monotonous. Although this box was very precious, it was really nothing to him.
Of course, he wouldn't tell others that … he had a few better and more complete pieces of the best quality agarwood in his hands!
That treasure ship brought back hundreds of years of specialties from Southeast Asia. At that time, agarwood was definitely very precious to the Great Ming Dynasty, but it was nothing to the local people.
Therefore, many of the agarwood that was brought back at that time were the best of the best. Although there weren't many left in the end, a few pieces were enough to make Qin Fang very satisfied.
Qu Yuan's conscience was sullen. Originally, when he saw that Qin Fang's birthday gift box was so inconspicuous and even a little embarrassing, he was a little gloating.
It was also because of this that he seized the opportunity and planned to make Qin Fang lose face in front of so many people. That was why he hit him when he was down.
But now, not only had he angered the most authoritative old man in the family, but his father also wanted to beat him to death. However, Qin Fang not only didn't lose face, but also directly showed off.
The real gift hadn't come out yet. Just a box containing the gift had already surpassed all of their gifts.
Perhaps the price of this box might not be as expensive as their gifts, but in terms of practicality, it was on a completely different level.
The old man's face also obviously improved a lot. His originally worried eyes were replaced with a faint smile. He was even more satisfied with his grandson in his heart.
The only pity was that because of what happened back then, the rift between the two sides was so big that he didn't have a chance to get close to him.
But when he thought of this, he couldn't help but think of Qu Yuanliang who took the initiative to stir up trouble. He immediately turned his face and glared fiercely.
If it weren't for the fact that it was really inappropriate to teach this kid a lesson in public, the old man, who had always been hot-tempered, would have slapped Qu Yuanliang a few times.
It was fine if his own family knew about such a good thing like the supreme-grade agarwood, but now that all the rich people in Hong Kong knew about it, who knew how these old guys would annoy him.
There was no need to consider selling it. This kind of good thing was definitely not something that could be bought with money. Anyone who got their hands on it would definitely keep it tightly in their hands. How could they take it out to sell?
Moreover, the Qu family was one of the top ten wealthy families in Hong Kong. They didn't lack money at all, so it was impossible for them to sell it …
They definitely wouldn't sell it. But like the Indonesian rich man, Old Master Qu would definitely be nagged and annoyed by a group of old guys.
However, his thoughts quickly shifted away from this.
Although this box was extremely precious and rare, since Qin Fang still treated it as a gift box even though he knew its value, it could only mean that the gift in the box was the real thing.
The old lady opened the very intricately made box and gradually revealed the real gift inside …
"This is …"
