Said that Link's engineering team at the site said that they should dig out as much wood as possible from the ground first: "I'll talk to your boss." ”

The carbonized wood was pretty good, and he didn't think about the price or anything like that. I just think it's a treasure hidden in the ground, and it's a pity not to dig it up. According to the information, this kind of wood is insect-proof and moth-proof, and it is also very good to make furniture or some ornaments after digging it out.

He re-signed the contract with the contractor and asked them to send more people and excavation equipment to dig out as much carbonized wood as possible in the valley. As for the project cost, of course, it must also be calculated separately. It is calculated according to the amount of earthwork excavated. And the carbonized wood that was dug up also had to be shipped out. At this point, he began to think about how to sell the Oregon lumber.

Since thinking of the possibility of buying those timber to China, Link also thought of a Chinese person he had met and had a meal with in Las Vegas more than a year ago, and he still remembered that the other party's name was Sheng Bingheng.

At that time, Sheng Bingheng also hinted that he hoped to purchase timber from Ozette Farm. It's just that he didn't think about development at all, so he didn't respond to the other party. I just don't know if the other party is still in the timber business.

When he returned to the castle, he searched but could not find the business card of the Chinese merchant.

He was depressed for a while, and then remembered that there was also the owner of a Chinese travel company with whom he was having dinner. Since the other party is sending tourists to Las Vegas, it must cooperate with the Las Vegas tour company. Through the Las Vegas tour company, the Chinese named He Ning should be found, and as long as you find him, you should find the one surnamed Sheng.

He wanted to call Martha at first. But on second thought, tourists from China usually want to stay in hotels, and hotels and travel companies are more closely related, so it is better to let Martha check directly than to ask Tommy Cockline to help investigate.

So he called Tommy Cockline directly.

He asked Klein to help find someone: "I don't know what their company's name is, I know that their company still wants to have a business in Las Vegas, and their boss's surname is Ho!"

"I'll have someone check it out for you. But you give too little information. If the legal person of the other company is not the person you say, we may not be able to find any useful information. Tommy Cockline said over the phone. "You know, there are more than a dozen Chinese travel companies that have a presence in Las Vegas. ”

"Hope to find useful information. By the way, I remember, he used to live at MGM. He couldn't remember the exact date and time, only the approximate time. "Maybe you can have someone look up the guest information for this time period. The Chinese surnamed He lived with a Chinese woman and a male friend. I'm looking for his male friend, his surname is Sheng. ”

Tommy Cockline didn't shirk either, saying, "Okay, my hotel and housing department will check." But you're looking for him?"

"I want to do a business with him. Link thought about it for a moment, and wasn't going to hide it from him. "You know, I bought a plot of land in Oregon that has a lot of overburned wood. A large part of that wood was just burned to the bark, and I wanted to ask him if he was interested. ”

"OK, wait for my news!"

Soon Tommy Coklein passed on Sheng Bingheng's information to Link. However, he saw that the phone number on it was a US number. And more than a year has passed, and he dialed this number and said that the phone had been turned off.

But fortunately, He Ning's contact information was also passed over, and he got Sheng Bingheng's contact information through He Ning, and the other party had indeed returned to China.

He calculated the time difference, and if there was any inconvenience in the time, he dialed the phone.

"Hello, Link!" he was having fun with his friends at the clubhouse when he saw a phone number that he hadn't contacted for more than a year call to tell his friends to be quiet.

"Hello! I'm Link. Is it Mr. Sheng?" Link was in Chinese.

"It's me!" Sheng Bingheng was a little surprised. He laughs. "Link, did you call me for any support?"

Link smiled and said, "Don't dare to carry it." It occurred to me that you had mentioned to me that you wanted to import lumber from the United States. I don't know if you're still in the business of doing this. ”

"Do it. Is your farm going to be deforested?"

"It's not. Link said with a smile. "I don't know if you've heard, but I bought a piece of land in Oregon. It's the same area where the wildfires broke out last year. ”

"Oh, I heard that. ”

Link stated his purpose for looking for him, saying, "Although the wood was overfired. But we've picked out the wood that only burned the bark, I wonder if you're interested?"

Sheng Bingheng heard that it was wood after the fire, but he didn't pay much attention to it at first. However, I heard that they are all primeval forests, and the forests near the west coast of the United States are famous for their tall trees. He thought for a moment and said, "Link, of course I'm interested, but that's too much, and I need to read it before I can reply to you." ”

Link laughed and said, "Of course. Call me when you're free to come to the U.S. I'll show you there. ”

"Okay, I'll be able to find time to go to the United States in a few days. "Anyway, it's a good thing to be in a relationship with a super-rich man. Sheng Bingheng now only hopes that the wood that Link said can be used. As long as it can be used, there is not too much cracking, even if it has been burned by fire, there is no problem.

Jessica couldn't understand Chinese, so she saw Link hang up the phone and asked, "How is it?"

"He said he needed to come and see!"

"If no one wants it, maybe you can burn them to charcoal," she laughs. Barbecue is still used. ”

Jessica also wants him to sell all the wood. The wood can still be used. But the furniture factories in the United States don't want it at all, because there is so much wood in the United States that there is no need to use the wood that has gone too far.

The main destination of timber exports from the West Coast of the United States is chicken plates, accounting for about 90% of the exports. China also has it, but relatively rarely.

The vast majority of the wood used in China for high-end furniture is imported. Because the protection of virgin forests in China began more than 20 years ago. The main timber used is fast-growing forests, which are used to make pulp and composite panels. Timber for high-end furniture is mainly imported from South America, Africa and Southeast Asia. It is also imported from the Siberian region.

Wood from the West Coast of the United States cannot make high-end furniture, but it is also a mid-range product to make solid wood furniture, such as wardrobes, dining tables, etc., and such furniture is still very popular.

Although Link doesn't necessarily lack that money, it's a pity to rot there, and they can't finish burning it for a few lifetimes. It still occupies space.

Link smiled and said, "If I really can't sell it, I'll do it, buy a few high-pressure furnaces to burn charcoal." ”

Over the next few days, he went to Mayor Camp to talk about his vision for Fox.

He envisioned Fox selling more land, and Link offered to halve the price of land.

According to Link's idea, the theme park land was financed by the investment bank Ozette. Link is also going to fund a werewolf-themed movie. At the same time, a new residential and commercial area will be financed.

Mayor Camp basically agreed, but even if he was doing it, he would have to discuss it with the city council before making a decision.

In addition, Huazhou is a state with a planning law, and their plans must be submitted for approval before they can be carried out. Generally speaking, the county council will not veto the urban planning of the following municipalities as long as it does not violate the law. But it takes time.

The prefectural assembly also said that it meets every day. Each level of council will have a session period, usually several months. In addition, unless there is a temporary meeting time requested by the county magistrate, the rest of the meeting is adjourned, and the councillors are busy with their own business.

Link certainly wasn't going to wait.

Sheng Bingheng really came to the United States soon, and he brought a man in his thirties with He Ning. Link took them to see the wood. The man Sheng Bingheng brought carefully inspected the wood. The main thing is to look at the depth of the fire and the degree of cracking of the wood.

Sheng Bingheng looked at the diameter of these woods, most of them were more than 60 centimeters, and most of them were about 20 meters long. If it's normally cut wood, it's certainly very good wood. It's just that now we still need to look at the quality. He saw that the master he had brought was still inspecting, so he asked Link, "Link, there looks like there is a lot of wood here." How many squares are there?"

"This hasn't been rigorously measured. Link recalled, saying. "At that time, the felling project was estimated to be about 2,000 to 30 million cubic meters. ”

That's because some of the wood is burned, some of it is not good to produce wood, and some of it is because it is too small. That's about half of the timber that was cut.

"That's a lot. Sheng Bingheng was a little stunned when he heard this data. If it is normally cut timber, the total domestic sales price will be 156 billion yuan.

Link nodded and said, "Just to chop them down and carry them and stack them up, it cost me a lot of money." "If you want to export, you have to pay taxes, and you have to pay for transportation.

After inspecting the wood, the person who inspected the wood said to Sheng Bingheng: "Mr. Sheng, these woods are generally usable. However, although the wood did not hurt much wood, the appearance was too unsightly. It can be difficult to get a permit if you want to import logs directly. ”

He Ning said at this time: "I think the interior of these woods is still very good. If it is not possible to import logs, then directly import processed wood?"

Sheng Bingheng nodded and said, "Link, at what price are these logs going to be sold?"

Link frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "Fifty dollars per cubic meter." "Wood is also graded. But he doesn't ask for grading either. These logs are placed here and occupy a large amount of flat land. He can sell it as soon as possible, and as long as he can recover the cost, he doesn't ask for too much.

Sheng Bingheng thought for a moment and said, "Link, at your price, I will ship the wood out, process it, and then ship it back to China." Duties and sawn timber costs as well as freight, I'm going to lose money. ”

"And how much can you give?"

"Thirty dollars. ”

At this price, Link can not only recover the cost of buying land and renovating, but even make a lot of money. However, he thought for a moment and said, "Forty dollars, you take it all." ”

"Thirty-five dollars. There is so much wood here that I can only cut the logs into large squares. Otherwise, I'm worried that the wood will rot a lot. In that way, sawn timber will lose a lot of timber. ”

Link thought for a moment and said, "Yes, but you'll have to bring me back the cut wood." "If Sheng Bingheng saws wood like that, even if those leftovers are useless, they can be used as firewood, and maybe they can be used as materials for fences.

"Huh?" Sheng Bingheng didn't expect him to make such a request. He thought for a moment and said. "Yes. But you lend me a piece of space, and I'll build a sawmill. "With so much wood, it would probably take him a long time to get it all back. He can buy some old sawmill and build a sawmill nearby, and after removing some unwanted wood, he can save a lot of shipping costs. Link said he wanted those scraps, and he could just stay here.

According to the price of domestic timber, he estimated that if this business is done well, it will eventually have a gross profit of 2 billion yuan.
