Chapter 423 - Cutting

The truck drove directly into the airport in the provincial capital and stopped in front of a Boeing 737 freighter on the tarmac. As soon as the truck stopped, the airport staff began to get busy, lifting the logs out of the truck and transporting them onto the plane, which were secured with wire ropes to avoid tragedy caused by the movement of cargo during the flight.

Two other customs officials took the opportunity to inspect the logs. After confirming that there were no other items in it, he issued a certificate of clearance to Jin Junhui. Lin Zukang has always been very clean in business, and he will not make mistakes on this kind of issue.

Xiao Ping looked at the plane in front of him in a daze, and unexpectedly asked Jin Junhui beside him: "Mr. Jin, are you going to fly this timber to Malaysia?"

"It's too slow and a waste of time to take the sea route. Jin Junhui knew that Xiao Ping had a good relationship with the boss, and replied respectfully: "Mr. Lin said that Mr. Xiao is a busy man, but he has no time to waste on boring journeys. So I chartered a special plane, so that it will not delay your time, and it will not make Mr. Lin wait for a long time. ”

Jin Junhui's words made Xiao Ping feel greatly. He is just a manager under Lin Zukang, and he is so arrogant in doing things. In order to transport a few pieces of wood, I actually went directly to the charter plane. And I stupidly thought that I would take a boat, and the comparison between the two sides immediately saw the gap.

This cruel reality made Xiao Ping come to a conclusion that he had just been lifted out of poverty, and he was still too far from being a rich man of Lin Zukang's level, and he still needed to continue to work hard.

Kim Junhui obviously gave a lot of benefits to the airport workers, so they worked very hard, and it didn't take long for a few logs to be transported to the plane. After obtaining permission from the tower, the 737 freighter slowly drove onto the runway. Immediately after that, he accelerated and ran, and finally took off into the air and took off into the blue sky. Xiao Ping's trip to Malaysia also officially began.

The plane flew all the way south and landed smoothly at Johor Bahru International Airport in Johor Bahru, Malaysia, a few hours later.

Johor is one of the thirteen states in Malaysia. It is located at the southernmost tip of the Marencia Peninsula. Johor Bahru is the capital of Johor and one of the three largest cities in Malaysia. Lim lives in a luxurious villa on the outskirts of Johor Bahru, the center of his vast business empire.

Lin Zukang has always attached great importance to Xiao Ping, a young man, and made an exception to greet him at the airport in person. This also made Xiao Ping surprised and a little panicked, after all, Old Man Lin was so old, and it really made Xiao Ping very embarrassed to let such an old man come to the airport to pick him up.

"Old Man Lin, why are you here in person?" Xiao Ping smiled bitterly: "How embarrassing is this, you really torment me." ”

I am very satisfied with Xiao Ping's attitude of respecting the elderly. Lin Zukang said with a smile: "You and I are also friends of the New Year, and it is normal for me to come to pick up the plane." Besides, I really want to see those red sandalwood materials sooner and see what kind of surprise you can give me this time. ”

As the two spoke, the workers had already begun to transport a few pieces of wood off the plane. Seeing that there was a lot more wood than he had said before, Lin Zukang was also a little surprised. However, he soon saw that several of them were agarwood tree logs, and couldn't help but ask Xiao Ping in surprise: "Xiao Xiaoyou, have the agarwood trees I gave you last time grown so big?"

Xiao Ping didn't dare to admit it, and said to Lin Zukang with a smile: "Old Man Lin, you and I can do magic." Can an agarwood tree grow so big in a year? These are the ones that my friend accidentally found when he was looking for a rosewood tree, so I just bought them together. ”

Thinking that the agarwood tree he gave to Xiao Ping hadn't even arrived for a year, Lin Zukang also laughed self-deprecatingly: "Hehe, I'm confused." Those agarwood trees really can't grow so fast. ”

Knowing that he had passed the test in a fool's way, Xiao Ping was also secretly relieved. The agarwood tree that Xiao Ping planted in the demon refining pot grew too fast, and just one year was enough to cover the decades outside. Even a shrewd person like Lin Zukang has been hidden.

As the two spoke, the workers quickly hauled the timber off the plane. The local customs officials then inspected it, and then politely went through the customs entry procedures with Jin Junhui. looked at the way the customs officer bowed his head to Jin Junhui. Xiao Ping also has a more direct understanding of Lin Zukang's status in Malaysia.

Lin Zukang has his own exclusive warehouse at the airport, and all the wood is naturally transported into this large warehouse. At the suggestion of Lin Zukang. Two middle-aged men took chainsaws and began to carefully unravel the three rosewood logs.

"They're the best carpenters I've ever had. Lin Zukang introduced to Xiao Ping while watching: "He is also the most experienced carpenter in Malaysia, and my parents' longevity is made by them." ”

Those who can be sent by Lin Zukang to do this important work will certainly not be ordinary people. The two of them were very skillful in their movements, and it didn't take long to peel off most of the outer skin of a red sandalwood log.

Lin Zukang immediately stepped forward to take a closer look, and after carefully looking at it from beginning to end, he said to Xiao Ping with great joy: "This log is of excellent quality, on par with the last one, there is no hole at all!"

One of the carpenters also nodded again and again: "Yes, such a good red sandalwood material is very rare, and it can be called the best!"

Xiao Ping had long expected this to be the case, and he didn't feel any surprise, and smiled calmly at Lin Zukang: "Old man Lin, then let's take a look at the situation of the other two red sandalwoods." ”

Of course, Lin Zukang would not refuse such a request, and immediately let the two carpenters dispose of the remaining rosewood logs separately. The old man looked here and there, anxiously awaiting the final result.

Because the big boss was nearby, the two carpenters naturally worked very hard and completed their respective jobs without much time.

Lin Zukang hurriedly stepped forward to check it out, and smiled at Xiao Ping with satisfaction: "Xiao Xiaoyou, my old man really admires you so much, every time you get the rosewood has such a good quality, it's amazing." If it weren't for the fact that the red sandalwood tree had grown so big, it would have taken at least a hundred years, and I would have really doubted that the red sandalwood tree was planted by you, ha, ha!"

"Didn't I grow it myself? Xiao Ping replied secretly in his heart. But of course, he couldn't say this, so he just smiled modestly: "It's not magical, it's just a little luck." ”

"You can't say that. Lin Zukang said: "I have been in Nanyang since I was fifteen years old, and my years of experience have taught me that luck is the most important factor in success. If you're lucky, you'll be successful. ”

Xiao Ping was deeply impressed by Lin Zukang's words, if he hadn't been lucky enough to get the demon refining pot, many things would not have happened in the future, and he was still selling newspapers and magazines on the street corner.

But this matter can't be said outside, Xiao Ping just asked Lin Zukang with a smile: "Old man, I don't know much about agarwood, can you help me take a look?"

"No problem. Lin Zukang nodded dryly: "When I first came to Nanyang for a few years, I also worked as an incense picker in the depths of the forest, and I still know a little about agarwood." ”

In fact, Lin Zukang is humble when he says this. To this day, his business also includes the trading of agarwood, and Lin Zukang can be called an expert in this area. Under his direction, the two carpenters began to sawn through the trunk bit by bit with a chainsaw, looking for the black wooden part of it that was soaked in resin.

Seeing the agarwood tree being sawn apart little by little, Xiao Ping was inevitably a little nervous. He has already planted incense on these agarwood trees, and it will soon be clear what the effect will be. If the condition of these agarwood trees is not good, it means that Xiao Ping's previous efforts have all been in vain. Not only did he waste his time, but he also had to replant incense to recoup his losses when he returned.

"Slow down, slow down. Lin Zukang carefully instructed the two carpenters: "Cut it in little by little, don't cut the whole piece of agarwood!"

Naturally, the bigger the better, but because only the resin-impregnated woody part of the agarwood tree becomes agarwood, large pieces of agarwood are very rare. Even if it is sawed off a small piece, it will obviously affect the value of agarwood, no wonder Lin Zukang will keep telling carpenters to be careful.

The wooden part of the agarwood tree, which does not come into contact with the resin, is white, and with the efforts of the carpenter, the white sawdust is splashed as if it were snowing. However, Xiao Ping was not in the mood to enjoy the scene in front of him, but anxiously waited for the final result.

After cutting two or three inches into the trunk, the carpenter suddenly stopped, turned his head and said excitedly: "Mr. Lin, I see it's dark!"

Only the resin-soaked parts of the wood will be black, and the carpenter's words say this indicate that there is indeed agarwood in the trunk. Lin Zukang immediately came to his senses, and involuntarily took two steps forward and said, "Be careful, try to take out the incense completely!"

With the big boss staring at the back, the two carpenters naturally didn't dare to slack off. Instead of using chainsaws, they slowly remove the white wooden parts with small axes and hand saws, leaving as much of the black agarwood as possible intact.

Xiao Ping stood next to the two of them, watching curiously as they worked cautiously. As time goes on, more and more black agarwood is exposed in the trunk. When the carpenters gently cut off the last bit of wood chips on the agarwood, the whole piece of agarwood was finally fully displayed in front of everyone.

This piece of agarwood is about a meter and a half long, with a diameter of nearly two feet at its thickest point and more than a foot at its thinnest point. The edges are irregularly shaped, and the black color makes it look like a craggy stone.

When Lin Zukang saw this piece of agarwood for the first time, an expression of disbelief appeared on his old face. He pushed the two carpenters away, snapped the agarwood hard with his fingernails, and immediately nodded lightly involuntarily. Then Lin Zukang cut a small piece of wood and put it on the fire to ignite it, carefully observed the burning of the wood, sniffed the fragrance of the burning vigorously, and after a while, he suddenly looked up to the sky and shouted: "God, this is a top agarwood!"
