Chapter 314: Integration of Forest and Paper

readx;

Everyone had dinner together in the canteen of the forest farm, more than 300 students, more than the forest farm workers who ate in the canteen, it was very lively, Zhou You as the leader of the company, Ma Zishan, Li Zhifang as the leader of the school, and the leaders of the forest farm sat at the same table. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

After dinner, everyone will board the river boat and go down the river.

Before boarding the river ship, Zhang Ke came to Zhou You and asked him: "Kumho is now engaged in the integration of forestry and paper, will it be too early?" ”

"Ah......" Zhou You was stunned, but he didn't expect Zhang Ke to ask such a question after a day in the forest farm.

The raw materials required for the production of paper industry mainly include straw pulp and wood pulp, because the straw pulp will cause great environmental pollution in the production process, and the straw pulp has many impurities, which cannot be used to produce medium and high-grade paper products; Since ninety-three years, the state has gradually shut down the production line of chemical straw pulp, and the domestic forestry resources are limited, the self-produced wood pulp is very limited, and the wood pulp mainly depends on imports.

Kumho operates a paper company that imports wood pulp from Indonesia as a raw material to produce mid-to-high-end paper products.

The so-called integration of forest and paper, that is, the trinity of afforestation, pulping and papermaking, is the only way to become a large paper group.

Kumho is currently gradually merging and integrating its papermaking enterprises and building a large-scale paper production base in Seongnam District.

Zhang Ke remembers that it was not until 2001 that the state clearly gave a policy to support the integration of forest and paper, and the integration of forest and paper in 96 years was time-consuming and laborious, and the funds were not easy to raise, and the state would not give low-interest loan support at all, but the integration of forest and paper projects occupied by the funds was very huge.

If you don't want to destroy the existing forest resources, the integration of forest and paper is first of all to afforestation, invest a lot of money, large-scale speed forest, the growth cycle of fast forest is usually five to six years, that is to say, the early investment in afforestation, to wait until five or six years later will gradually produce income, this is definitely a high investment slow return project, in addition to the capital of the paper enterprises will take this road, there are few domestic enterprises to take this step, especially the current international wood pulp supply is relatively sufficient, No one is even more likely to do this thankless task.

Although the benefits of the forest to the ecology are not so obvious, but at least in soil and water conservation, flood storage and flood reduction has an obvious role, the growth cycle of the forest is very short, as long as the implementation, one or two years can become a forest, five or six years can be rotated, a little can slow down the impact of the flood on the small river basin in 98 years.

To tell the truth, even if hundreds of thousands of acres of fast-harvest forests can be created before 98 years, the relief of floods is very limited, but for camels carrying hundreds of kilograms, adding a straw will press it down, and minus a straw may make it grit its teeth and get through.

In addition, the most worthwhile thing to do is to persuade Xu Xueping to ask the Water Resources Department to investigate the hidden dangers of water conservancy projects in the middle and lower reaches of the Xiaojiang River and increase investment in the construction of embankments in the past two years.

Zhang Ke ignored Zhou You's surprise and said, "We will stay and not go back to Haizhou with them." ”

"Ah......" Zhou You was stunned again, he wanted to say that he is currently a person from Aida, and if he really wants to go to the forest paper integration project, he can send Kumho's staff to seriously investigate and analyze, think about it, who knows what whimsy Zhang Ke has at this time and can't wait to stay.

Zhang Ke ran to the river wheel to find Tang Jing and Li Zhifang, saying that he would stay with Zhou You and Fu Jun.

Tang Jing asked Zhang Ke: "Why do you want to stay?" ”

Others were present, and they couldn't explain it for a while, Zhang Ke said: "Why don't you stay too?" ”

Tang Jing wanted to be with Zhang Ke, but she was a member of the student union and one of the initiators of the winter camp, so she couldn't get off the boat halfway, and she said that school would start in a few days. Tang Jing also knew that Zhang Ke stayed with Zhou You and Fu Jun halfway for the company's affairs, so she shook her head and said, "Let's go back to Haizhou first, you be careful, don't catch a cold." ”

Zhang Ke wanted to hug Tang Jing, but Tang Jing avoided it embarrassedly.

For such a maverick student, the school is really hard to say anything, not to mention that Zhang Ke was originally on the boat halfway with Zhou You, Ma Zishan and Li Zhifang gave additional orders, and specially used the phone of the forest farm to call Zhang Zhixing to inform him, and did his duty to let Zhang Ke stay in the forest farm.

Zhou You, Zhang Ke, and Fu Jun suddenly wanted to stay, and the forest farm was also quite surprised.

At dinner, several people in charge of the forest farm were present, and the last person in charge of sending off the winter camp Jiangchuan was a deputy director named Tu Jinying. Although Aida Electronics is a private enterprise, but after all, it is a well-known domestic enterprise, although Tu Jinying feels troublesome, it is not easy to refuse, and there can be no loss of hospitality.

Cai Gao was enjoying the warm hospitality of the timber merchants, and he didn't have time to take care of this, so he let Tu Jinying make his own decisions.

As the largest state-owned forest farm in the upper reaches of the small river, there are more than 500,000 acres of forest land, almost accounting for half of the county's area, under the six timber processing plants, with waterfront wharves, large barges, tugboats, etc., in recent years, the demand for timber is strong, a large number of timber merchants poured into the forest farm, so that the location of the field is prosperous like the towns on the outskirts of Haizhou, there are also small hotels.

Zhang Ke and Zhou You saw the impatience of the forest farm, and insisted on arranging their own accommodation, as for the purpose of staying, they only said that they wanted to stay in the mountains for a few more days, Haizhou did not have such fresh air, nor such delicious game.

Tu Jinying was already a little impatient, but seeing Zhou You and Zhang Ke insisting, he threw off his sleeves and left, a little urgent.

Standing on the dock, looking at the sparkling river under the light, Zhou You asked Zhang Ke: "Why did you suddenly think of the integration of forest and paper?" ”

It's not good to talk to Zhou You about the flood two years later, Zhang Ke said: "Thinking of Xie Jiannan's coming, I really feel a little disgusted, if we insist on going our own way to the Shanglin Paper Integration Project, they may withdraw from Kumho or ......."

Zhou You smiled and said: "The integration of forest and paper, although it is very promising, but the cycle of the project is too long, I think the funds in the hands of Chint are not enough to play such a project with us, but the funds in our hands are not sufficient...... At present, Kumho's wood pulp demand is 100,000 tons, considering the growth in the next few years, it is necessary to consider 200,000 tons of standard enclosure afforestation, at least 150,000 acres of reserve forest land need to be prepared, in addition to building a large-scale wood pulp production base, there is no 1 billion 2 billion, I am afraid that it will not be able to do ......."

Zhou You couldn't accurately estimate the amount of money needed for a while, but he still knew what the approximate magnitude was, and he was very skeptical that there was no need to go on this project at this time.

He admires Zhang Ke's talent in business very much, not that he doesn't have his own thinking.

150,000 acres of forest land is far from Zhang Ke's expectations, and he can't wait for every county along the Xiaojiang River to plant 150,000 acres of Sufeng forest.

Zhang Ke said: "If you only cultivate forests in the early stage, and choose to cooperate with forest farms and farmers to raise forests, you don't need to make such a big investment all at once." Pulp production line... It's too late to invest in a small-scale factory and accumulate technology and experience......

Zhou You pointed to the road ahead, and there was a light in the distance, which was where he was staying, and said, "Let's talk as we go." ”

Zhang Ke asked Zhou You: "Who do you say Yang Yun and Liu Minghui can share the pressure for you?" ”

"Ah," Zhou You patted his head, "you're not going to let me go back to Kumho to take charge of this, are you?" ”

"No, you'll be in charge of this as a vice president in Kumho......"

Zhou You's eyes were dark, only to feel that his life was bitter, Aida Electronics had just been on the right track, and he hadn't enjoyed two days of Qingfu, so he was going to send Zhang Ke to do this errand that he himself felt very reluctant, and said with a wry smile: "Yang Yun and Liu Minghui, I choose Yang Yun, he has a slightly stronger sense of the overall situation, he is suitable for leading the overall situation, and he can also control the group of marketing elites recruited during this time......"

"Okay, let Yang Yun be in charge of the market operation department to share the pressure for you......," Zhang Ke said very neatly.

Zhou You smiled bitterly, and didn't ask if he wanted to discuss this matter with Xie Wanqing, these days, none of Zhang Ke's suggestions would be vetoed by Xie Wanqing, and it was also because Zhang Ke's gaze was too accurate, so that Zhou You would think at this time, could there be something he didn't see, and Zhang Ke saw a business opportunity with a flash of inspiration?

To say that business opportunities, there do exist, in September 97, the forest fire in Indonesia, so that the global supply of wood pulp suddenly tightened, coupled with the Asian financial turmoil to devastate the manufacturing industry in Southeast Asia, the domestic manufacturing industry, including papermaking, took advantage of the rise. Of course, these are not factors that can be told at this time.

Considering the long-term trend of the paper industry, although the return period is long, the integration of forest and paper is also a sound and well-structured investment.

If you don't have your own forestry base, don't have your own wood pulp supply source, five or six years later, when Kumho develops and the scale is huge, it will become sensitive to international wood pulp prices, and a large paper group must take the road of forest and paper integration to be able to further develop.

In any case, Zhou You still thinks that it will not be too late to consider the integration project of Shanglin Paper in two or three years, and maybe Zhang Ke really wants to squeeze Chint out of Kumho.

On the wharf, there is a small street, on both sides of the small street are the self-built houses of the workers, there are many shops on the side of the street, there are restaurants, barber shops, and ambiguous neon signs, beauty salons and saunas that look magnificent, there are many timber merchants crowded here from all over the country, it is not surprising that there are these places, Zhang Ke glanced inside, and there was a middle-aged man who looked at the back image of a person in charge of the forest farm.

After walking forward for a while, I didn't see the hotel that Tu Jinying said, but I first saw a chess hall, where there were several people playing chess, both Go and Xiangqi, and there were two teenage girls who were playing backgammon.

Zhang Ke and the others walked in to ask the location of the hotel, but when they walked in, they heard that the people playing chess inside were talking about all kinds of bad things in the forest farm, they were all born and grew up in the workers, and there were also migrant workers who worked in the forest farm, with a rough personality, although they were helpless to take those field leaders, they were not very afraid, and it was common to scold them in private.

Zhang Ke and Zhou You were not in a hurry to ask for directions, they wanted a pot of tea. A pot of tea is five yuan, boiling water can be added, and chess can be played. Two girls who play backgammon, one of them helps them make tea, camellia, broken tea, the shape is not good-looking, but the strange fragrance lingers; Another girl asked them if they wanted to play chess or Go. The man who looked like the shopkeeper was lying on a wicker chair, covering his knees with an old blanket, reading a book.

Zhou You said: "Let's take Go first......"

There are many barren mountains that have not been replanted after the forest farm is felled, and the most direct and labor-saving cooperation with the forest farm is to create a fast and abundant forest. Listen to the complaints of the forest farm workers here, and you can also touch the bottom of this forest farm.

The Go that traveled around was not enough for Zhang Ke to see, and it was not possible to change chess, so Zhang Ke finally asked him: "Do you want to change backgammon?" ”

Zhou You cheekily said, "Then let's play backgammon......," and asked with a smile, "Have you measured your IQ?" ”

Zhang Ke and a few outsiders in the store, the owner of the chess hall naturally paid attention to them, he looked at it for a while, and also felt that Zhang Ke played chess well, and felt itchy, he put down the book, came over and said: "Accompany me to the next game, the tea is for you." ”

Zhengchou didn't know how to get acquainted with these people, Zhou You stood up, gave up the chair to the shopkeeper, and he pulled Fu Jun to play backgammon.

Fu Jun said: "You actually pick on us people to bully, play chess......"

Zhang Ke laughed, Fu Jun played chess very well, he accompanied Fu Jun down, and he also had to lift his spirits, and he traveled around to find ridicule again.

Zhang Ke asked the shopkeeper: "Where is the hotel in the forest farm, we came from the pier and haven't seen it yet?" ”

"You don't stop, you go a few steps further and you don't have to rush over, even if it's twelve o'clock, the door is closed, just knock hard. Look at your faces, the first time you come to the forest farm, the accommodation fee, ten yuan a bed, don't slaughter them. ”

"Wang Mazi, don't you say, our hotel can still get them?" The middle-aged woman who was standing there watching the card game came back and scolded the shopkeeper.

"The ears are like dogs, and they are always standing up," the shopkeeper smiled and asked Zhang Ke about them, "What are you doing in the forest farm for the Chinese New Year?" ”

"I heard that the forest farm can contract forest land, so let's come and have a look." Zhou You said.

"If you find the right way, that's a good way to get rich...... shopkeeper smiled.

Zhou You asked, "What do you say?" ”

"When you come to contract the forest land, you naturally come in again to ask for a good way, and you have to ask me what to say?" The shopkeeper was a little strange.

Zhang Ke pouted and played chess with the shopkeeper with the chess pieces. Zhou You said that he was contracting forest land, which could be contracted for barren mountain afforestation or contracted forest land for logging, and it seemed that the shopkeeper understood that they wanted to contract a piece of forest land for logging, which was not shallow. But then again, where in the country has the water been shallow? Zhang Ke and they couldn't have a deeper understanding of this, and after listening to the shopkeeper's words, they didn't make a fuss.

In the middle game, Zhang Ke's advantage is obvious, the owner wants to regain the disadvantage, and takes the initiative to attack in the game, wanting to kill Zhang Ke A large piece of chess; A lot of people don't play chess and gather around them to watch.

Someone else asked, "Why do you want to go to the forest farm to contract forest land?" The forest farm is from the Municipal Forestry Bureau, there are more bends and bends in the back, you might as well directly find the county forestry bureau to contract a piece of forest land, the forest land here, there are forest farms, there are also counties, directly find the county, 5,000 yuan can get three or four hundred acres of mountain forest land, the cost behind is less than 100,000 yuan, if the relationship is hard, 50,000 or 60,000 can also be settled......"

Zhang Ke picked up a chess piece, and when he heard his words, he was shocked, and when the chess piece rang loudly, a particle next to it knocked away, and Fu Jun went over to help him pick up the chess piece.

Zhou You asked: "Twenty centimeters of larch, pull to the water's edge, how much does one side cost?" ”

"You're asking about the cost?" The man standing next to him asked, "You people, you don't know anything, you want to come and contract the forest land?" Hehe, but there's no problem, as long as you find the right way and send the right money, it's impossible to lose, twenty centimeters of larch, if you pull it to the water's edge......" The man calculated in his heart for a while, "Don't be eighty." ”

"It's really good to make money, when you go outside, a pine board with a diameter of 20 centimeters will cost 26 to say the least, and the log can't be lower than 200 ......" Zhou You was afraid that Zhang Ke would not know the market here, so he simply reported the data he knew.

Zhang Ke didn't have a good mood to play chess, contracting three or four hundred acres of mountain forests, only 5,000 yuan could be credited to the account, and when it was spread out, it was less than 20 yuan per mu of mountain forest, and it was not enough to buy a few saplings.

An acre of mountain forest here can produce at least 20 square logs, aside from the labor cost, an acre of mountain forest 2,000 yuan is always worth it, three or four hundred acres of mountain forest, the economic value is close to one million, now only need 50,000 or 60,000 to open the joint money and add 5,000 yuan into the account of the money can be settled, this world is really strange, no wonder the weather is cold, the sauna and beauty salon in the forest farm look so lively.

If you want to say that you came to contract the barren mountain plantation, the group of people in the store will probably laugh. The price of fast-growing logs such as eucalyptus and poplar is cheaper, about two-thirds of that of larch, but the yield of wood is higher, and the economic value of each mu of mountain forest is comparable, but when it comes to input, it is naturally much higher than contracted mountain forest felling.

Zhang Ke put down a chess piece and ate the shopkeeper's two particles, this moment, the shopkeeper no longer has the power to return to the sky, he can't help sighing, and wants to play another game, seeing that the time is already very late, he is afraid that it will be rude to delay Zhang Ke and them to rest.

Zhang Ke said at this time: "Actually, we want to contract barren mountains and afforestation......"

As soon as Zhang Ke said this, the people on the side were stunned, they all knew that it was good to make money by contracting mountains and forests to cut down trees out of the mountains, and they had never heard of anyone coming to contract barren mountains and forests. However, the shopkeeper reacted first and said: "It's good that you come to contract the barren mountains and forests, that's a good thing, as long as you go to this broken shop, you can drink tea and chess...... Over the years, a lot of trees have been cut down, and the little income from the Forestry Bureau on the surface is not enough to buy a few saplings, not to mention their group of things, they have taken money behind their backs, and they still have to eat and drink at public expense on the surface. They don't want to think that the tree will be cut down in a few years. ”

In the flood of '98, the upstream was better, but the middle and lower reaches were extremely badly affected.

Zhang Ke rarely talks to Xu Xueping about political matters, what do you hear below, as long as it is not something too related to him, if you can not say it, you will not say it, the current national situation is like this, Xu Xueping will not be without counting in his heart, saying too much, but adding to the blockage. However, the current situation of the provincial forestry system has reached such a point, and at this time, it can be rectified, and perhaps there will be more room for the flood of '98.

Xu Xueping originally came out of the political and legal system, and this matter is also simple to do, instructing the provincial discipline inspection personnel to directly investigate several cases in the provincial forestry system, Zhang Ke thought about how to talk to Xu Xueping about this matter.

In addition to this incident, there is also the problem of hidden dangers in the quality of the embankment system in the Xiaojiang basin, which is a direct factor that led to the failure of the embankment in many places in the Xiaojiang River during the flood of 98. Zhang Ke believes that there will be water conservancy experts in the province who will have doubts about the stability of the Xiaojiang embankment system, but due to the stubborn disease of the bureaucratic system, it is difficult for this voice of worry to reach the ears of the superiors, and even if it can reach the ears of the superiors, there will be more voices of good news and not bad news to affect the judgment of the superiors.

Zhang Ke even had a major flood in the Xiaojiang basin in '96 or '97, breaking through one or two river embankments to give people a wake-up call, but in Zhang Ke's memory, in '96 and '97, the summer climate in the Xiaojiang basin was surprisingly stable, the rainstorm period was very short, and there were no particularly powerful typhoons passing through the East China Sea.
