Chapter 96: Twenty Years? Just get started!

Lao Han was very cheerful, beckoning the two to eat at home, chatting while eating. HN people like to eat seafood hot pot very much, and the family is very lively.

It turned out that Lao Han used to fish for a living, and his family was very poor, but later he went out to run transportation, met a ZJ boss, and asked him to collect agarwood locally. At that time, he didn't understand, he only knew that there were a lot of them in Agarwood Mountain, and the villagers sometimes used them to burn the fire for cooking, so what was the use of collecting that?

However, in order to make money, he began to collect incense in several villages, and sent it to the boss every month, which could earn thousands of yuan more. After working for a few years, I knew that agarwood was so valuable, and the ZJ boss heard that he had earned hundreds of millions, and later gave him 100,000 cash at a time, and he didn't do it and left.

Naturally, he couldn't let go of the opportunity, and after running for a few years, he knew that there was a good fragrance, and used all his savings to start planting agarwood trees. At first, he didn't understand technology, and he failed several times, but he didn't give up, persevered, and now he has more than 100 acres of agarwood garden. There are more than a dozen households in the village who follow him, and he has become the largest supplier of agarwood in the local area.

"Brother Wu, you take a break, I'll take you to the Agarwood Garden to see it later, and see the Agarwood Tree with your own eyes, okay?"

Wu Shixiang and Er Shuai naturally agreed, I had heard that it is not easy for agarwood to form incense, a seedling can start to form incense for at least ten years, and it will take seven or eight years to form incense, and it will take twenty years for the worst HN agarwood to form!

At about two o'clock in the afternoon, Lao Han drove the car and took the two to visit the plantation. It's not far from the back mountain, ten minutes away. It is surrounded by a tall cement courtyard wall, and it is very large to enter, and in the distance are patches of greenhouses, and there are workers working.

The three of them got out of the car, Lao Han took the two of them directly to see the agarwood seedlings, there were seedlings planted in the greenhouse, the green was very cute, Wu Shixiang picked up one and smelled it.

"Haha, there is no fragrance now, and the tree will have some fragrance in a few decades. The main thing is agarwood, and the oil is concentrated there. ”

Lao Han saw that Wu Shixiang wanted to smell the seedlings, and explained with a smile that the agarwood tree smelled very light, and the tree secreted oil to be fragrant, and after being injured, it was secreted to heal the wound, resulting in agarwood.

"How much does this seedling cost?"

Wu Shixiang is most concerned about the price of agarwood, big players need energy points for transformation, and it doesn't matter if agarwood is worse, but agarwood is a necessary raw material.

"This seedling needs at least two or three hundred, and it will take three years to open the thickness of the bowl, and ten years before it can begin to bear fragrance. Let's go, I'll take you to see the trees. “

Wu Shixiang nodded, followed Lao Han out of the greenhouse, and went to see the tree. He needs to determine the cost and start calculating how many energy points there are.

"This is an agarwood tree about ten years old, this is the incense mouth that has just opened, and it will almost be fragrant after seven or eight years."

Wu Shixiang touched the agarwood with his hand, and the system gave a hint that it could convert more than 20 energy values, which was much more than that of red sandalwood.

"How much will this cost if it sells for it?"

Old Han was stunned for a moment, and said puzzled: "Sell? We all plant trees to pick agarwood, and few people sell them directly. Do you want to raise your own? ”

"No, where do I go to raise agarwood trees without HN? The environment is not suitable, just ask. ”

"This one is at least more than 20,000, and now the wild agarwood tree is protected by the government, and wild agarwood is scarce. Basically, it was all artificial, and we started to introduce seedlings and propagate them ourselves. Now that the technology is mature, it is basically self-sufficient. ”

"More than 20,000 can collect more than 20 energy points? Totaling a thousand points of energy? It's expensive! ”

Wu Shixiang secretly calculated an account, agarwood is worthy of being the best in the wood, and even the raw materials are very expensive. Not to mention the cost of the bracelet, the cost of transformation alone is 10,000 yuan!

Wu Shixiang suddenly saw some wood piled up in the corner of the yard, and asked curiously: "Old Han, what kind of trees are those?" ”

"Oh, those aren't HN agarwood trees, they're some other white wood incense trees. There are many kinds of incense wood, not only one can produce incense, HN agarwood seedlings are the most expensive, and others are cheaper, but the quality of incense is average. ”

Wu Shixiang's heart moved, since they are all fragrant wood, maybe other ones can be used. Hurry up and get started.

And so it was! Although the conversion energy value is less, it can still be used. After Wu Shixiang got the system prompt, he asked Lao Han the price.

"We mainly use these timbers as nutrients, and we beat them into sawdust to raise seedlings, and the effect is very good." Lao Han didn't know why Wu Shixiang was asking this, and explained: "These are much cheaper, and one is one or two thousand." ”

"One or two thousand can transform more than a dozen energy values, and when combined to a little more than a hundred, one hundred percent transformation is more than a thousand. This is the most cost-effective because of its low cost. ”

Wu Shixiang nodded with satisfaction, this cost is cost-effective, he only needs energy points, and the raw materials are cheap. As for agarwood, it must be high-quality, and the oiliness will be transformed into the best, and it will be profitable.

"Is there any cheaper fragrant wood?"

Lao Han shook his head and affirmed: "There should be no more, you also know that we use it to make fertilizer, if there is a lower cost, it will be used a long time ago, these are the most cost-effective materials with freight and labor." ”

"If I want to buy this material in large quantities, do you have any goods?"

Lao Han looked at Wu Shixiang suspiciously, and asked, "There are a lot of materials, but it is nothing more than the cost of freight." What do you want it for? ”

"Hey, you don't know, business in Kyoto is not doing well now, Gu and I discussed to see if we can use fragrant wood to develop some new products and go to the low-end market. Furniture or large ornaments, if you can earn some money, don't you? ”

Wu Shixiang casually found an excuse to change to a larger warehouse, red sandalwood, old sandalwood, and fragrant wood were all transported over in the future, and it was enough to convert energy points.

"So?" As soon as Lao Han heard it, he nodded: "No problem, if you believe that I can enter directly from me, it is nothing more than to send it to Kyoto, but the freight is not low." ”

"It's okay, the shipping is mine, the agarwood is expensive, take the express to the store." I have a special warehouse for wood, and I usually put some red sandalwood, and when the time comes, the address will be given to you, and the direct logistics will be on the line, and the money will be no problem. ”

After solving the most worrying problem, Wu Shixiang relaxed, the freight is not a problem, and the next thing is to go to see the baby agarwood, which is the main thing.

"Okay, I'll ship to you every month, and I'll call you when the time comes. I'll take you to see the real incense tree, and go. ”

Lao Han didn't take it to heart, these are trivial things, fragrant wood is not valuable, and it is not considered precious wood. Because of its soft texture and low density, it cannot be compared with red sandalwood pear. Except for being able to make incense, it is basically of little use.

He took the two of them to the back mountain, and the whole hill was covered by him, and seedlings were planted in the greenhouse. Once mature, transplant into the wild. After ten years of natural growth, you can artificially cut the incense.

"This is the incense cut two years ago, and now the wound has begun to form incense, but the grade is still low, the oiliness is not good, and it will take at least another seven or eight years to produce incense."

A piece of agarwood with a diameter of more than 20 centimeters was cut with a large wound near the root, and the surrounding area was protected with plastic, allowing the tree to naturally secrete oil and condense into spices little by little. This is the process of incense formation in the most natural environment of agarwood, which has to continue for more than seven or eight years, so the time cost is very high.

"Then you will take it down and sell it when the time comes?" Wu Shixiang lowered his head and smelled the incense, the taste was very light, and the oiliness was not enough.

Lao Han smiled mysteriously and said, "No, I'll sell incense directly under the tree!" ”

"What do you mean?" Wu Shixiang was a little puzzled.

"Now fake incense is rampant on the market, and since ancient times, HN agarwood is the top grade, and the price is the most expensive in Nha Trang, Vietnam. Therefore, some black-hearted merchants use shoddy products to pass off as HN agarwood from cheap production areas to make profits. ”

Lao Han is a little disgusted, in recent years, agarwood has become popular, the price has risen, and there are unscrupulous merchants who have begun to sell fakes, using Xingzhou spices as HN agarwood to sell, the price difference is several times, and the quality is not good. The person who really makes agarwood carries the black pot, and his reputation is getting worse and worse.

"So you invented selling incense directly under the tree? Let people watch the agarwood go down the tree with their own eyes? Wu Shixiang suddenly realized and admired a little.

"There is no way, otherwise, how can guests rest assured that they will spend a lot of money to collect incense? Hey, what a helpless move! ”

Lao Han took the two of them around again, he has only planted agarwood for seven or eight years, and the longest in the garden is only about ten years of agarwood. Now it is mainly maintained by selling agarwood seedlings, and it will take a few years for the agarwood to go down the tree, which is also the main reason why the locals are reluctant to plant agarwood, the cycle is too long, and the return on investment is slow, so Lao Han has been promoting the benefits of agarwood in the body.

"The government is also very supportive of our agarwood growers, both in terms of capital and technology, and now there are more than a dozen households in the village following me, and more and more people are engaged in the agarwood industry. In a few years, I'll be the president of a green bank. ”

Lao Han is very pleased that agarwood is his life's work, not only bringing wealth, but also a kind of fate. People must always do something meaningful to future generations in their lives, otherwise they will come to the world in vain.

Wu Shixiang was in awe, and respected Lao Han, a simple but persevering businessman, saying that the cultural inheritance is a bit big, but the protection of local characteristics is well deserved. HN is a lot of curiosities, agarwood, sea yellow, clams, coral, as well as the new popular stars and moons and coconut shells.

Sticking to one thing for decades, no matter what the outcome, is admirable. He decided to cooperate with Lao Han and chose him as a regular supplier of agarwood.
