Chapter 176 Cardamom Mountains Buy Woodland

Li Jie smiled, stopped talking, and began to concentrate on driving. Now, more than half of the journey has been completed, and it will take more than an hour to reach the destination.

The destination of their trip is also a relatively remote place, located in the westernmost part of Pursat Province, on the border with Thailand in the Cardamom Mountains.

"Mr. Feng, the front is here. The owner of that mountain forest is an overseas Chinese from Cambodia, surnamed Xu, who is a native of the country, and is the third generation of people rooted in a foreign country. ”

The car turned into a country road, and after a while, I saw a small village. Li Jie smiled and pointed to the tallest building in the village, indicating that it was the end of their trip.

However, in Feng Tiance's opinion, the houses here are relatively simple. The materials used in the houses are mainly wood and bamboo, and there are no buildings in sight, but the area of each household is not small.

Stopping the car, Li Jie beckoned Feng Tiance to walk down together, and saw a man walking from the yard. This person is about fifty years old, his face is ruddy, and at first glance he is a person with good health.

"Mr. Feng, our trip is to find him. Come, let me introduce you to the two of you, this is Mr. Xu Yanxu, and almost all the mountains and forests around here are his. Mr. Xu, this is Feng Tiance from Huaxia, and Mr. Feng is also a close friend of Liang Dong. ”

After Li Jie's introduction, Feng Tiance and Xu Yan exchanged greetings and shook hands.

"Manager Li, Mr. Feng, let's go into the house and talk. Please"

Xu Yan smiled slightly and invited the two into the house. Feng Tiance found that Xu Yan's accent was biased towards Guangdong Province, but fortunately, he could still understand it.

When a few people entered the house and sat down, two seventeen or eighteen-year-old girls came out to serve tea to the guests, and then brought out some snacks and fruits, and then bowed down.

"The food here is not as fine as in China, but it also has a unique flavor. Two, please have a taste. ”

On the way, Feng Tiance and Li Jie had lunch, but at this time, it was difficult to refuse, and the two still ate a little fruit each.

"Mr. Xu, are tropical fruits easy to grow? I saw a lot of bananas and mangoes around the village and on both sides of the road. ”

Feng Tiance felt that the fruits here were delicious and had a unique sweet taste. However, the various fruit trees I saw along the way were scattered and growing in the ground, which did not look like they were being tended by.

"Haha, that's right. The natural conditions here are unique, and the fruit trees can grow very well without human management. It's just that the transportation here is inconvenient, and it is difficult to sell the best fruit at a good price. ”

The village is mainly too remote, and it is not cost-effective to transport fruit to big cities such as Phnom Penh.

"Mr. Xu, Liang Dong asked me to accompany Mr. Feng to see the mountains and forests where you are ready to shoot. Why don't you tell us about it first?"

Li Jie interjected at the right time, he had not forgotten the main task of this trip.

"Haha, Manager Li is an anxious person. Okay, I'll introduce you to it. The mountain forest I was going to sell, in the southwest of the village, was about a thousand hectares in size. In the past, rubber trees were planted on the mountain, but then they were all cut down when the effect was not good, and now there are only some worthless trees and weeds. ”

Xu Yan slowly introduced the situation of the mountains and forests that were ready to be shot, and Feng Tiance frowned when he heard it, isn't this equivalent to a barren mountain? However, you have to listen to the quotations of others, if the price is right, it is okay.

"As for the price, we'll talk about it later, and I'll take you to the mountains now. ”

Xu Yan didn't continue to talk, but got up and took Li Jie and Feng Tiance out of the village. The village is not far from the side of the mountain, and it is only about a twenty-minute walk away.

Feng Tiance observed all the way and felt that the natural conditions here were indeed good. It can be said that you can live on anything, and you can not only live but also grow very well.

Perhaps it's for this reason that the local people look lazy. The fruit trees and farmland are not carefully cared for, and they look like they rely on the sky for food.

"Mr. Feng, if you really develop here in the future, I advise you to use as few locals as possible. Well, how to put it, they may not be used to hard work and live a leisurely life. ”

Li Jie didn't go behind Xu Yan when he said this, because what he said was the truth, and this point was recognized by everyone anyway.

"Manager Li is right! Wherever we go, we Chinese are the most industrious, so how rich are the Chinese in Nanyang. However, it is not impossible for locals to use it, as long as you work strict hours and never work overtime, it is still possible. ”

Xu Yan interjected with a smile on the side, he is actually a native of the "local", and he sees some things more clearly than Li Jie.

"Mr. Feng, from here to the south, the woodland from the heights to the mountain peaks is the target I am ready to make. Just take a look."

After walking for a while, Xu Yan stopped, drew a general range with his fingers, and showed it to Feng Tiance and the others.

"Okay, I'll climb up and take a look. Manager Li, you will accompany Mr. Xu to rest here, and I will be back soon. ”

Feng Tiance was embarrassed to climb the mountain with the laborers, so he smiled and said hello, and walked up the mountain by himself.

"Then be careful, Mr. Xu and I are here waiting for you to come back. ”

Li Jie stood in place and shouted, and when he saw Feng Tiance waving his hand behind him, he knew that he heard his words.

"Manager Li, Mr. Feng is really young. By the way, did you tell him about the rules for foreigners to buy land locally?"

Xu Yan saw that Feng Tiance had walked away, so he asked Li Jie. According to Cambodian law, foreigners are not allowed to hold land alone. In other words, if a foreigner wants to acquire land in Cambodia, either you can hold it through a local person, or you can form a joint venture company with a maximum shareholding ratio of 49%.

Of course, if a foreigner becomes a Cambodian citizen, then there are no such restrictions.

"I don't know how Dong Liang told Mr. Feng, I didn't remember to talk to him about it. ”

Li Jie's task is to accompany Feng Tiance to this side for investigation, which is equivalent to the role of a "tour guide", and he is not very clear about other things.

Actually, Feng Tiance knew about this. On the flight from Yangcheng to Phnom Penh, Liang Hongbo explained these details to him,

As the saying goes, there are policies and countermeasures, and many foreigners in Cambodia actually own local land. As long as your legal documents are rigorous and free of loopholes, there will be no problems.

Liang Hongbo also told him that as long as he is sure to buy land here, he doesn't have to worry about all the formalities, and everything will be done for him.

After wandering around the mountain for less than an hour, Feng Tiance returned to the foot of the mountain and found Xu Yan and Li Jie who were resting in the shade.

"How about Mr. Feng, are you still satisfied with this mountain forest?"

Xu Yan stood up with a smile and motioned for the two to return the same way, talking as they walked on the road.

"The natural conditions of the whole mountain forest are good, whether it is the soil, the water source, the sunshine and so on. But all the valuable trees on the mountain have been cut down, and this is simply a barren mountain. ”

Feng Tiance had one thing to say, and directly expressed his impressions. The whole mountain is lush and densely wooded, and only this 1,000 hectares of woodland is a little seriously damaged, which is uncomfortable to look at.

"That's right, it's a barren mountain, and the price I offer is also the price set according to the barren mountain. Mr. Feng, there is another house on the mountain, I don't know if you have noticed? 1,000 hectares of mountain forest, together with the houses on the mountain, my price is 2.2 million US dollars. ”

The house on the mountain that Xu Yan is talking about is a stone fort located close to the mountain peak, separated from his woodland by a considerable distance. Feng Tiance took a look before, it should be modeled after a European castle, the construction area is quite large, but it already looks very dilapidated.

"Mr. Xu, I've been to the stone fort on the mountain once, it should have been left by the French, right? Hehe, that can be considered a house? It's all dilapidated. ”

Since Li Jie came with him, of course he had to remind Feng Tiance when he encountered a problem.

"Haha, that stone castle is attached to that mountain forest anyway, with or without it, the total price is so much!"

Xu Yan laughed, and didn't mind Li Jie exposing his careful thoughts. At this time, the three of them returned to Xu Yan's house, and everyone sat down to drink tea while continuing to talk.

Two million two million US dollars, which is almost equal to 15 million Chinese dollars, is not expensive to buy this large barren mountain. After Feng Tiance and Xu Yan bargained, they were finally sold for $2.1 million.
