0008 Timber business

"It seems that the sun is really coming out of the west today. After Dong Tianming listened to Xiao Heng's words, he began to ridicule again, "Not only do I ask people to do things, but I also start to invest." ”

Buying timber from India and then selling it to China is a kind of trade behavior, Dong Tianming has more or less learned some information about this from his cousin, and now more and more people are going to India to dump timber and make a lot of money. Obviously, when Xiao Heng asked this, he naturally wanted to make money.

"I'm not kidding you, can you help me?" Xiao Heng was very concerned about this matter and said seriously.

Dong Tianming was also surprised to see Xiao Heng so seriously for the first time, and he was also a little more serious under the influence of Xiao Heng.

"Help, of course help, he just happened to be in the country these days, let me help you ask. "Dong Tianming has asked Xiao Heng for help before, so now that Xiao Heng asks him for help, he naturally won't refuse.

"Ask now. Xiao Heng urged.

"Wait. Dong Tianming took out his mobile phone and dialed a number.

Under the premise of doing business reasonably and legally, as long as there is money to be made, of course, those who come will not refuse, Dong Tianming's cousin is a businessman, so he naturally understands this truth. Of course, I was very happy to hear that my cousin had introduced him to business partners.

After a few polite words between the two, they got to the point, judging from Dong Tianming's expression, it was going very well, and Xiao Heng could naturally see it.

"What kind of wood do you want?" Dong Tianming asked Xiao Heng in the middle.

"Rosewood microphylla. Xiao Heng replied.

Then Dong Tianming also replied to his cousin.

The phone was called for seven or eight minutes, but he didn't say much about helping Xiao Heng import timber, the two kept chatting about his cousin's affairs in India, and Xiao Heng hurriedly gestured beside him, and finally under Xiao Heng's urging, Dong Tianming hung up the phone.

"How is it?" As soon as he hung up the phone, Xiao Heng couldn't wait to ask.

"My cousin said that there is no problem, and he is also doing it with Xiaoye Rosewood, but the sales are not large. Dong Tianming said.

"That's good. Xiao Heng clapped his hands, and his first step plan seemed to be able to be carried out smoothly.

"But my cousin said that if you have a large amount, you can't enter the customs in the name of a private person, preferably in the name of a company. Dong Tianming said.

"That's okay, do you have any other worries?" Of course, this is no problem, Xiao Heng is looking for Tang Ce today, just to plan the creation of the company, and also to pave the way for the future.

"My cousin's side is fine, but I can't figure it out. Dong Tianming frowned, took a cigarette from the cigarette case on the table and lit it.

Jiang Donglin next to him couldn't help frowning again.

"What?" Xiao Heng asked.

"Is the timber business profitable?" Dong Tianming wondered. "I don't suspect it's going to lose money, I mean this thing makes a lot of money? My cousin has been there for years, and he doesn't make as much money as my dad has in his factory. ”

It turned out to be this doubt, Xiao Heng suddenly realized. Indeed, in the eyes of ordinary people, the timber business sounds like a business with low profits, but if you change the name, the precious timber investment business sounds like a bit of a lot of money. Don't look at it just by changing the name, but that's exactly what happened. The wood that Xiao Heng wants to invest in is not the kind of ordinary wood, but the famous small-leaved red sandalwood.

Rosewood microphylla is an extremely valuable wood, it is produced in the primeval forests of the tropics and subtropics, is the boutique of rosewood, because of its density is large and the brown eye is small, and the wood is very stable, not easy to crack, so it has always been the preferred material for high-end furniture. Among the small-leaved red sandalwood around the world, the best one is produced in India.

If the normal import and export trade is only carried out as a precious wood, then the price of red sandalwood will only rise in a flat trend. But when human and natural factors intervene, its price is no longer subject to market factors.

At the beginning of August 2012, India issued the import and export control regulations for Pterophylla microphylla, the reason for this is because the growth cycle of Pterocarpus microphylla is very long, and only the small-leaved Pterocarpus tree with the thickness of an adult's arm has to go through decades of wind and rain. Therefore, if it is allowed to be exported, it will inevitably lead to the decline of this tree in India until the resources are hollowed out, so there is a regulation to control the export of red sandalwood, but also to protect this precious wood from being cut down.

This reason has led to a large decrease in the flow of small-leaved red sandalwood logs to China, which has naturally led to a sharp rise in the price of domestic logs, from about 100,000 tons to nearly 300,000 tons in a short period of time, more than doubled.

At this time, another group of people began to take advantage of this opportunity to hype the small leaf red sandalwood, which is also another more important reason. When India issued this regulation, the group of businessmen who received the news in advance had already hoarded a large number of goods, and when the news was released and began to be implemented, they began to frantically hype the small leaf red sandalwood, not only from its efficacy on the human body, or the collection value, all sides of the wild speculation, the Chinese people are often susceptible to the impact of this speculation, so for a while, people who buy small leaf red sandalwood jewelry are everywhere, and those businessmen control the shipments, the market price will naturally rise. According to Xiao Heng's memory, in 2014 alone, the price of a ton of small-leaved rosewood logs had risen to about 800,000. And yesterday, in 2020, he just learned through the news that the price of logs at that time had reached nearly 3 million tons.

Xiao Heng was naturally not the businessman who received the news in advance, but because he was reborn, he knew so much information about Xiaoye Rosewood. It's early July, and it's less than a month before the ordinance is issued, which is why he's in such a hurry.

But Dong Tianming didn't know this, in his consciousness, the small leaf red sandalwood was still just ordinary wood.

"I think you should follow me to invest, Donglin and I found a good investment project, the benefits are very good, more profitable than your timber business. Dong Tianming said and began to sell his investment projects.

Although Xiao Heng doesn't remember some things very clearly, he is deeply impressed by the investment project that Dong Tianming is talking about now. It was an online investment project, which was later called P2P, this thing was a new product that had just emerged at this time, through a new concept and a very attractive return on investment, many people were deceived to invest their money in, and the consequences can be imagined.

At that time, Dong Tianming and Jiang Donglin put all their pocket money and the club's profits into it, and as a result, their total of more than 6 million real money was wasted, so Xiao Heng remembered it so clearly.

"I advise you not to engage in that network investment project. Out of kindness, Xiao Heng immediately reminded the two of them.

"Boss Xiao, even if you have a lot of money, don't get along with the money, you look at this income, you can earn 0.5% a day, your timber business has this money quickly, don't underestimate this little 0.5%. Dong Tianming held up the software screen on his mobile phone to Xiao Heng and pointed it out to him.

Xiao Heng naturally knew what it meant to be 0.5 percent a day, but after experiencing his previous life, he would not be caught by this kind of trap, and Dong Tianming's timber business, which he didn't like, seemed to be much more profitable than this.

So Xiao Heng decisively rejected him: "I'm still doing my timber business, and you guys should hurry up and withdraw the money from it." ”

"Why?" Jiang Donglin, like Dong Tianming, was very puzzled.

"Anyway, I don't think this thing is reliable, you can do it yourself. Xiao Heng didn't force them, he didn't need to explain it to them so clearly, and people might not believe it if he did, so let them watch it. Moreover, since the Xiao family went bankrupt in the previous life, the relationship between the two people in front of them and Xiao Heng has become strangers, and now that he can help here, Xiao Heng feels that it is enough.
