I Spy With My Secret Eyes

Chapter 138

As Oliver and Manuel walked alongside Forest, Felix glanced at Oliver and then quietly asked Manuel, “Manuel, are you partnering with this young guy? Which family’s son is he?”

In Felix’s view, for Manuel to be speaking so highly of this young man, he must be trying to bask in his family’s glory and wealth.

Although Manuel had a fortune of over a hundred million dollars, among the truly wealthy, he was a small fish.

It’s not that easy to get into the rich world.

Of course, Manuel understood what Felix was thinking. He smiled and didn’t respond.

Felix smirked, thinking that this guy didn’t want to disclose the information, likely to avoid getting entangled with the wealthy second-generation as he had.

The sandalwood was stored in the factory’s main hall, lined up one by one and occupying a large portion of the space. Each piece of sandalwood had a description sign and a base price.

Forest explained as they walked, “These materials were sourced from our neighboring country. They’re quite cooperative over there, and as long as you pay, everything is possible. In our country, it’s nearly impossible to buy them anymore, because the authorities have imposed strict regulations on the logging of sandalwood due to its endangered status. The same goes for scentedwood. What’s available for sale now is mostly old stock from previous years.”

Manuel had experience gambling with sandalwood and whispered to Oliver, “These sandalwood materials are excellent. It’s quite rare to find pieces of this size. However, it’s a gamble just like with scentedwood. While in scentedwood, we gamble on whether there’s a burl or ghost face inside, with sandalwood, we gamble on whether the wood is hollow inside.”

Sandalwood is often called the “Emperor of Woods” and is considered the top-grade wood. Historically, it was primarily reserved for use by the royal family. The growth of sandalwood is very slow, with one growth ring appearing approximately every five years.

Besides, these rings aren’t very prominent. Additionally, sandalwood typically matures over 800 years. Most sandalwood logs develop a hollow center when they reach a diameter of 8 inches, which means that only the outer 8 inches of the wood can be used:

Therefore, sandalwood is not as risky as scentedwood. Everyone knows that the profit of sandalwood is actually the selling price of finished products.

For example, if you purchase a set of furniture materials for 1 million and create a set of furniture, like chairs or sofas, the selling price is usually at least 4 million or even higher.
