43 Harvest season at Bracken Timber

People like Lin's father and Lin's mother, who were born in the era of "natural disasters", received an enviable 11 years of state education and naturally learned Russian. When he grew up, due to family and work reasons, Lin's father and Lin's mother's Russian proficiency was not low.

This provides Lin Yilong with certain convenient conditions, and the weekend trip to bring Lin's father and mother to familiarize themselves with Wales will be handed over to the Yeang sisters, and by the way, they can also let their parents be more "close" to the Yeang sisters, and also let him have time to deal with the stacking work.

Thanks to the online office, Lin Yilong can also handle some "big money" transactions during the long wait for his hometown, and the "change making" transactions are not too many official documents piled up on the desk, but some matters need to be handled in a timely manner, such as the truffle order at the Leitz Hotel.

The Leitz Hotel is a large resort chain on the other side of the pond, with major sales at Spinach Resort hotels in Atlantic City, New York and Rhode Island. Hotel guests are more likely to enjoy food after winning money in the spinach hall, and this profit will not be earned by other restaurants, just in the restaurant arranged in the hotel, and no one cares about the price of the dishes. Lin Yilong believes that he will definitely sell the mundane for a gold price, as some London luxury brokers do. Mr. Terrwin had the confidence to buy all the truffles from the Bracken Yard.

As for the truffle producing area in Wales, Mr. Trevin is willing to believe that Lin Yilong will not fool him with some other fungus, but there is room for further negotiation on price. Even if a brief meeting with Lin Yilong at Heathrow could make the two sides understand, the agreement price was still a little too high.

Somehow, in Tasmania and Victoria and the South Island of New Zealand, white truffles were also produced in June of this year, and there was not much difference between the quality of the quality of European truffles, and they also passed the academic recognition. This has squeezed the market for continental truffles, and it is not possible to expect them to be sold at ridiculously high prices as they were a few years ago. It should be said that thanks to the difference between the northern and southern hemispheres, the truffles produced in Oceania did not collide with the truffles of Europe, otherwise the truffle market would be even more sluggish this autumn. In June, Mr. Treven and Lin Yilong reached an agreement before the listing of truffles in Oceania was undoubtedly a bit out of the market price, which is really unwise from the perspective of business accounting.

Mr. Treven explained to Lin Yilong in his personal mailbox, but Lin Yilong's reply was very resolute and refused to take the initiative to reduce the price. At the very least, it is impossible for him to take the initiative to reduce the price of the hotel.

Lin Yilong was actually willing to lower the price of Mr. Treveng. It's not that he's soft-hearted, but that he has to make some responses based on the news that Mr. Treven "mistakenly" gave him a million-dollar knife. Even if the unit price is 5 pounds per gram, there is still money to be made, and there is no need to embarrass Mr. Trevin for the price of tens of thousands of US dollars. However, this request for a price reduction should not have been suggested by Brecken Timberlands, nor by Mr. Treving's personal name, but should have been suggested by Mr. Trevin in his official name.

However, Mr. Trevin did not seem to grasp the hint between the lines of Lin Yilong's words, and there was no further communication from official channels and no further explanation from private contacts.

According to Lin Yilong's vision, the truffles of Bracken Forest Farm were acquired by big customers such as hotels, so he contacted the first hotel of the spinach resort represented by Mr. Terewen, and the second was for high-end restaurants. Only these two places have enough capacity to digest the truffles of the Bracken Forest Farm, and as for some truffle sellers who are destined to fail to fulfill their contracts, it doesn't matter if they are gone.

Lin Yilong had to make a personal phone call to Mr. Terewen in the early hours of the morning on the East Coast, where he had to ask for a charter.

However, no one answered.

Lin Yilong had to plan for the worst - to offer an alternative Collins Hotel, and formally sent a letter to Ms. Fang, asking for the fulfillment of the agreement.

The change in price made Ms. Fang not rush to perform the contract at the price given by Lin Yilong. Thinking that he had grasped the initiative of course bargaining, he began to delay in every possible way, putting pressure on Lin Yilong and asking Lin Yilong to reduce the price.

Now that the 15,000 pounds have been received, such pressure is not painful for Bracken's forest farm, and Lin Yilong directly issued an ultimatum to the businesswoman surnamed Fang: either pay according to the price and buy truffles, or Brecken will not return the advance payment that has been paid.

The initiative returned to Lin Yilong.

This is why Lin Yilong gave priority to selling truffles or other things to China at the beginning, in the eyes of domestic buyers, as long as their business intentions are clear, performance is a matter of course. It may be very high in price, but it will not cause trouble in other details that should be considered.

It seems that at least on the first day of Lin's father and Lin's mother's arrival, there is no way to reach a slightly unanimous conclusion.

Lin Yilong must come up with "dry goods" that can actually impress buyers, even if it is good for possible buyers to see the quality of the truffles he produces on the spot.

Just do what you say.

All afternoon, with a drizzle of rain in the mountains, Lin Yilong came to the white truffle cultivation site on the side of his Bracken Tree Farm near Bracken Park.

It may not be said to be "cultivated", but it should also be regarded as a kind of understory economy: according to common sense, in the middle of the 19th century, when white truffles were flooded, white truffles were very worthless because they were common, and they were collected in large quantities by fungus pickers as feed for domestic pigs. It is not very scientific to say that there are few white truffles, as long as there is the right temperature, humidity and organic matter, truffles will theoretically grow in large quantities in this environment. The reason why artificial cultivation cannot be done is probably that the understanding is incomplete, since there is no way to "artificially cultivate", then the truffles cultivated "semi-naturally and semi-artificially" in inaccessible forest farms will be accepted. Even tiny Tuscany and Romagna can find more than a dozen tons of truffles a year, and it is impossible to be completely wild.

Happily, Lin Yilong easily harvested nearly 20 kilograms of truffles under the prompting of the population markers cultivated in the spring, and they were all large truffles weighing about two pounds.

The truffles taken from the woodland do not look very good, and the skin is not white as the name suggests, but is dyed brown and brownish yellow by the brown loam soil, and some white truffles are mixed with the tender yellow spots of the original skin of the white truffle. Lin Yilong estimated the truffles at £153,000, and if the remaining truffles are included, the total price is about £350,000.

The harvest season at Bracken Tree Farm is here.
