Chapter 432: A Transport Line Through the Dark World

After a little preparation, Feng Tiance rowed a small wooden boat down the river and went all the way along the underground dark river. His goal was to finalize the exit of the underground river, whether it was possible to reach the vicinity of the abandoned arsenal as he judged.

The water that passed through the gourd valley flowed back into the dark world, which was obviously a waterway alternating between an underground dark river and an above-ground bright river.

After the river entered the cave again, Feng Tiance turned on the head-mounted lights. Although the light could only shine on a small area, he found that this section of the river was still very spacious and the speed of the water was not very rapid.

There are some aquatic organisms in the river, but there are not many of them. On the contrary, there are more bats flying in the caves and rats in the crevices of the mountain walls.

There were a lot of bryophytes on the mountain wall as always, but his attention was no longer there. At this time, he was thinking in his heart, if the exit was really as he expected, then could this underground river have a greater use?

More than an hour passed in a trance, and the bright light ahead was so conspicuous...... The exit is coming soon.

As we approached the entrance of the cave, the current was a little faster. Feng Tiance looked around, the entrance of the cave was very open, and he could even see the green in the distance.

There was no drop, no reef, and the small wooden boat he took rowed out of the dark world so smoothly and came back to the sunny mountains and forests.

Trying hard to bring the boat to the shore, Feng Tiance dragged it to the shore. The situation is unclear now, and he needs to explore the surrounding mountains and forests on foot to come to a concrete conclusion.

Looking at the terrain, the dark river flows from the base of the mountain wall. It's a valley with dense forests. The surrounding mountains are not steep, but the towering peaks are still faintly visible in the distance.

"It's kind of like, maybe it's near the arsenal. ”

He had explored the area near the abandoned arsenal and had taken a helicopter overlook of the area. Therefore, he had a sense of déjà vu, and his heart basically confirmed his previous judgment.

A loud whistle startled countless birds in the forest. It didn't take long for two leopards to run out of the woods on the mountain.

"Haha, it's you. Then take me to the abandoned arsenal. ”

The leopards he had left nearby, and these two of them had just found their nest halfway up the slope on the side of the valley. So Feng Tiance, under their leadership, effortlessly found the abandoned arsenal less than a kilometer away.

The old barracks outside the cave are still in ruins. The arsenal, the cave in front of you, had two closed gates and seals on them.

Hong Lie led the team to transport all the valuable items in the cave, and the cave has been transformed from a secret camp of bandits into an abandoned place.

The lock on the gate couldn't stop Feng Tiance, and the seal was even more symbolic. He could foresee that no one would come back to this cave for a long time to come. The Conservation Base is not interested in it, and the people at the Songgo Mountain Conservation Station will not use it again.

When I opened the gate, it was pitch black in the cave.

The generator that was used as a power supply before was also taken away, and Feng Tiance could only take out a strong flashlight to illuminate it.

The cave's first impression was that it was large, and it was no problem to run five large trucks side by side in a wide space. And you can't see the depth clearly at a glance, so it should be very deep, right?

It took more than an hour for Feng Tiance to check it completely. This cave, or abandoned arsenal, has been renovated inside and out. First of all, the ground is very flat, and the mountain walls are also very flat. Secondly, the entire depth of the cave is divided into three parts.

The hall at the entrance of the cave is the most spacious of all. The second partition is obviously smaller, probably only more than 200 and less than 300 square meters. The last partition is the smallest, only about 100 square meters, and it is also protected by steel plates and strong iron doors.

"This cave is really suitable for use as a storehouse, and maybe it will be used later. ”

When Feng Tiance was in the underground river just now, he considered whether he could use the river to transport timber. Now seeing this abandoned arsenal with his own eyes, he had a rough plan in his mind.

The location where he first discovered the underground river, that is, in the heart of the mountain, was basically in the center of the primeval forest he had contracted. Although the cave at the entrance is not large, it is still no problem to get in and out of the wood with a little modification.

The underground river is wide enough, the depth of the water is suitable, and the current is not very fast. It is possible to drop the rafts down the river and eventually reach the valley not far from the abandoned arsenal.

The leopards in the belly of the mountain can migrate out, and the workers carry the small wooden signs he provides, and they don't have to worry about the poisonous snakes around the mouth of the cave. This scheme seems to have a lot of workability.

"Well, I'll think about it again. Again, I'll have to ask Yelena if I need approval to use this abandoned arsenal......

The most important thing is that there is a road here, even if the road is bad. From this road, you can go straight to Van and then to Sihanoukville. It's a lot closer than walking from the woodyard.

Whatever one may say, this location of the abandoned arsenal is important.

Therefore, Feng Tiance found a few suitable places on the nearby mountains and planted three six-year-old Wangtian trees. He needed to establish more nodes in the area in order to further strengthen the close ties between the region and the space.

Back at the Stone Castle, he immediately called Yelena about his intention to use the abandoned arsenal.

"Use it as you like, it's still part of the primeval forest of the Cardamom Mountains. I'm here to give you a case, and you can use it legally. ”

To put it bluntly, as long as this place does not build permanent buildings and does not destroy the forest environment, the cave can be used as it pleases. However, Yelena is afraid of getting into trouble in the future, so she thinks it is better to file it.

"Then I'll know, and I'll say hello to you when it's officially used. ”

There is no urgency in this matter, at least after the collection of agarwood is completed. His plan was to transport the timber harvested in the primeval forests to the arsenal through the underground river. Direct access to Sihanoukville by road is actually the most economical and efficient option.

Within a few days, Jiang Shaobo, who was in Sihanoukville, reported back the news.

Sihanoukville, or West Port for short, is Cambodia's most important transportation gateway and the only duty-free port. It has well-developed shipping and air transportation and is home to Cambodia's third largest airport, Sihanoukville International Airport.

According to Jiang Shaobo, "Westport" is simply a golden place for export trade.

"But, boss, the road from the forest farm to Weiwen is very difficult to walk, and the road is in poor condition. Road transport is fine, it's just not efficient. ”

The highway connecting the forest farm and the county town to Weiwen is a low-grade highway that has been in disrepair for a long time. For a distance of less than a hundred kilometers, it takes more than three hours to drive. But the road from Wavin to Westport is much stronger, and the driving is also smooth.

Feng Tiance calculated in his heart, from the abandoned arsenal to the fork in the road, it would be more than 30 kilometers at most. Therefore, if you use underground rivers for transportation, you will use the abandoned arsenal as a warehouse. Then the timber can be transported to Westport in the future, which can greatly save time.

"Then you should do the preliminary work in Westport first. The warehouse and office space should be rented as soon as possible, and the customs should also strengthen the contact and familiarize themselves with the process and specific personnel as soon as possible. ”

Since this is the case, you can let Jiang Shaobo open up all the links of the exit first. After the agarwood is harvested, it can be exported to China along with the wood.

Now, he has a lot of timber piled up in his storeroom. When Jiang Shaobo rents a warehouse in Xigang, he can start to transport it over.

"It's the road that's dragging its feet again, hey!"

The road thing, if it's in the country, it's not a matter at all. Today, the "village-to-village" project in China has basically been completed. But in Cambodia, unless Feng Tiance himself is willing to invest, otherwise it will take until the Year of the Monkey to rebuild this road.

Of course, the cost of building such a low-grade highway is about $30,000 per kilometer, and he mainly considers whether it is worth it.

Because timber is not the main source of revenue for the farm, his annual freight volume is actually not very large. It's really a bit unwilling to throw out two or three million dollars like this.

In the few days that he hesitated and weighed repeatedly, the work of collecting agarwood from the Cardamom Mountain Forest Farm was in full swing.

From this day on, Zhang Youcai had to report to Feng Tiance once a day the amount of agarwood collected that day. As for the quality, Feng Tiance has the strongest identification ability in the entire forest farm, and there is no need to find someone to identify it.

"The agarwood harvested this time, whether it is Hainan agarwood, or Bodhisattva agarwood, Hui'an agarwood, Manilao agarwood...... All varieties of agarwood can reach the grade of fine and above. ”

In the first few days, about 900 kilograms of agarwood were produced, and the quality was very good. Feng Tiance can be sure that in the future, as long as the dilution of space well water is used for incense, then the quality of agarwood will not be bad.

Of course, limited by the age of the agarwood and the length of the incense setting time, it is rare for the agarwood produced in the forest farm to reach the best quality and above.

Good quality means good price. Seeing the continuous storage of agarwood, Feng Tiance finally made up his mind to build the road. So he found Qiao Musen and expressed his idea very clearly.

"Mr. Feng, the cost of building this road is not low...... I've been applying for this road to the county for at least five years, right? The county refused on the grounds of lack of funds. If you really decide to build this road, I'll go to the county to get it, and I'll have to let them contribute some of the funds. ”

Qiao Musen seemed excited, because after the road was repaired, Murakami was no longer a traffic blind spot. Moreover, now "Westport" is the most economically active area in the whole of Cambodia, and the transportation is convenient, which can naturally bring benefits to the village.

"It doesn't matter if they don't pay for it, but you have to tell them that you don't want to set up all kinds of checkpoints on this road. As for the protection of animals and plants, let them not worry, the nature conservation base will set up checkpoints on the road. ”

Feng Tiance's biggest headache is the numerous checkpoints, and he can't manage anything else, but if he pays for the roads he builds, he is qualified to bargain.

"Okay, I see what you mean. You can leave this matter to me, and I will do it right away. ”

Qiao Musen lowered his eyebrows and retreated, but his heart was happy. The location of the village was originally in the corner, and the county has never paid attention to it. Now that someone is willing to invest a lot of money in road construction, of course, it is the best time to talk about conditions.

Today's villages are all neatly built houses. All the funds for the construction of the house were advanced by Feng Tiance.

The road in the village was built all the way to the intersection of the provincial highway leading to Bodhisattva City, and this section of the newly built road was basically sponsored by Feng Tiance.

Every household in the village has access to tap water, and the water plant was also invested and built by Feng Tiance.

In addition, a small sewage treatment plant was also invested by Feng Tiance.

Most of the laborers in the village, young and old, work in Feng Tiance's forest farm.

Therefore, the entire village has been deeply branded by Feng Tiance. As long as it is Feng Tiance's explanation, Qiao Musen, as the village elder, will run faster than a rabbit.

Feng Tiance is not in a hurry, he knows that this road from planning to construction to construction to construction can not be completed in a short period of time.

After Jiang Shaobo rented a large warehouse in Xigang, he began to hire vehicles to transport timber there. Since the road is not easy to walk, the freight rate has increased by 20 percent compared to normal conditions, and he can only accept it.

After transporting all the wood stored in the warehouse, Feng Tiance planned to personally bring a part of the agarwood to the "West Port".

"Boss, you don't have to drive yourself. It takes almost a whole day to drive from our forest farm to Xigang, just because the road is not easy to walk, and I am guilty. ”

Zhang Youcai led people to help load the car, and the heavy truck compartment was loaded with a full five tons of agarwood. This time to Westport, Feng Tiance will take Abin with him, and the two of them will not be too tired to drive along the way. Everyone else was persuading him to go directly by plane. However, Feng Tiance wanted to personally feel the road conditions all the way to Xigang, so he insisted on taking a heavy truck and left.

As soon as the heavy truck started, before it got out of the scope of the village, Feng Tiance received a call from Qi Zhiqiang.

His sworn friend has now become a big timber merchant. The literary family has a professional manager sent by Fan Xiangyun in the past to serve as the deputy manager. There is also Tong Xin, the store manager, in the store, so Qi Zhiqiang spends most of his time running around to expand the channels of timber sales.

After Feng Tiance's equity replacement, Fan Xiangyun's company became the majority shareholder of the literary family and had the right to participate in management. Therefore, more often than not, he understands the operation of the literary family by looking at the monthly financial analysis report.

This also means that he has a lot less contact with Qi Zhiqiang than before.
