Second Uncle Chen Qingshui took a sip of tea and slowly explained the problems encountered during this time.

The Forestry Bureau has always been a dispensable department in the small county town of Qingyun County. If it weren't for the Forestry Bureau, everyone wouldn't even know that there is such a department in the county. And this department is exactly the right match for the business that the Chen family is currently running. Usually people cut down a few trees that are in the way, and the Forestry Bureau will naturally not say anything. If you really have to take care of it, you might get into some trouble. Now it's different, there are people who specialize in the industry of tree cutting!

The Forestry Department held several meetings and decided to assert the authority of the department. I found the Chen family several times. In a word, ask for money! To cut the certificate, quarantine certificate! Forestry Business License! Without these things, it would be illegal to cut down trees!

According to the regulations of the Forestry Bureau, for every tree felled, you must hand in 0.5 yuan for a felling permit, and for every truckload of logs transported to other places, you need to apply for a quarantine certificate of 60 yuan! If you come across tree seedlings or special trees, the Forestry Bureau will not give you a felling permit, and the Chen family cannot cut them privately.

In short, the Chen family's current business must be approved by the Forestry Bureau. The quarantine certificate is good to say, the cutting certificate is 0.5 yuan for a tree, and it takes 50 yuan to cut down 100 trees a day. In a year, it will be at least 20,000! Compared with this huge number, the annual fee of 2,400 yuan to be paid for a forestry business license is nothing.

Chen's father and second uncle were in a great embarrassment. Paying the money is definitely not pleasant. Don't pay? How can ordinary rural people work against government departments? This incident caused the two of them a headache for half a month, and now that Chen Yuan is back, they naturally have to discuss it together.

After hearing this, Chen Yuan smiled and said, "This is not a bad thing. Dad and second uncle, if you want to give so much money to the Forestry Bureau, no one will be willing. But this money must be given, but not all. ”

"Oh?" Father Chen was surprised in his heart and said, "How do you say this? ”

"The forestry business license must be obtained, otherwise, all the activities we operate are illegal. If we are held accountable from above, we will suffer even greater losses. If you want to get a felling permit, you can take half of it. For example, if we want to cut down 100 poplars, we can only apply for a cutting permit for 50 trees. The Forestry Department will not be serious with us. As for quarantine certificates, as far as I know, there are few places where they ask for a quarantine certificate from a vehicle transporting logs. You can do it, you can do it less, or you can't do it at all. What we really need to do is to get along with the Forestry Bureau. If the relationship is settled, not only will the various fees paid be reduced, but there will also be a big benefit! ”

"What's the benefit?" The second uncle had a guess in his mind, but he was not sure.

"Let's get access to this industry, but also prevent other competitors from breaking in." Chen Yuan explained: "The reason why this industry can make eye-catching profits is because we are temporarily a monopoly. We are the only ones in the area near the county, and no one knows the price, and no one knows how much a tree can be sold for. But this kind of thing won't last long, and there will inevitably be people with flexible minds who will break in and compete with us. ”

After hearing this, Father Chen pondered for a long time and agreed: "This is inevitable. Everyone is scared of poverty. As long as there is a profitable business, it will rush in. It was originally a good business, but when it competed like this, it was not very profitable. During this time, the logs in and out of the site have come and gone, and people have begun to inquire about this matter. ”

"Dad, did you reveal anything about this?" Chen Yuan asked.

Father Chen nodded, and said embarrassedly: "They are all good friends, I'm embarrassed to deceive them......"

Chen Yuan smiled bitterly, this is in line with future memories. If the father knows how to refuse, there will be fewer competitors in the future, and he can work in this industry for a longer time. The future life will not be what it is remembered. It can be said that it was my father who cultivated his competitors with his own hands, and eventually went downhill because of these competitors. One wrong step, one wrong step.

The father is kind-hearted, down-to-earth, and upright, these are both advantages and disadvantages.

Father Chen smiled awkwardly and said, "I won't do such a thing again." ”

Chen Yuan didn't believe in his father's promise. My father likes to drink, and when the wine comes up, what should be said and what should not be said will be poured out without hindrance.

Chen Yuan will not and cannot blame his father, he said with a smile: "It's okay to say it, so that more people will know that this business makes money, and there will be more people cutting trees in the future." We'll have more opportunities to make money! ”

The second uncle's heart moved, and he said, "Chen Yuan, do you mean us?" ”

"It seems that the second uncle has already thought of it," Chen Yuan nodded and said, "When my father and second uncle went to the field for inspection, didn't they see those log spots?" In the future, when there are more people cutting down trees, we won't have to do the same thing anymore. As long as you make a list, just sit on the ground and receive the goods. We can give a part of the profit to the tree cutter, and the profit will be even more lucrative just by receiving and delivering the goods! ”

Chen Yuan saw that his father and second uncle were a little moved, and said: "Tomorrow, my father and second uncle will not go to cut down trees first, gather those who are interested in inquiring about this matter, have a big meal, and then deliberately vent their mouths!" Mom and second aunts, and those sisters-in-law and aunts who met the door, also gave publicity and publicity, how profitable is the tree cutting industry! ”

Flutter! Mother Chen smiled, "Stinky boy, everyone knows about this, is it really good?" ”

The second aunt was thoughtful and said: "Naturally, we don't give them a thorough foundation, just say that if we earn one or two hundred a day, we can also make them red-eyed!" ”

"As for the issue of acquisition," Chen Yuan put forward his own suggestion, "We will discuss the acquisition and strictly control the quality." There are all sorts of issues involved. Someone will definitely cheat, and this kind of thing has to be guarded against. In addition, I hope that my father and second uncle can run to Linyi. There is a log market there, and the price is the most suitable in the surrounding area. If we can get the logs to that timber market, the price of our logs can be even higher! ”

Father Chen nodded, a little moved. The second uncle thought of a question, and said, "The problem of logs has been solved, but what about the branches?" On average, 3 tons of logs, 1 ton of branches. When we first inspected the market, we saw that these branches were processed and crushed, and then transported to paper mills and press mills. Chen Yuan, do you think we also have to enter two machines? ”

Chen Yuan said in his heart, the second uncle's mind is indeed flexible, but now is not the time to introduce the machine, he explained to the second uncle: "The yield of logs is three times that of branches!" And the profits are relatively more impressive. Once the market is up, there will be red-eyed competitors who will break in. What we want to do is to make the most profit before the industry develops. For the time being, we can't focus on this small profit. ”

Small profits? The second uncle is not calm, as far as he knows, the profit that can be earned by a ton of twigs is at least eighty. If you have more than 20 tons of branches a day, you can earn 16 to 2,000, which is still a small profit?

When he said his thoughts, Chen Yuan shook his head and said seriously: "Second uncle, you have to learn to make trade-offs. The profit of the branch is indeed not small. But compared to logs, it's nothing. First, the output of logs is larger than that of branches, and second, the profits of logs are more considerable, and a ton of logs can earn at least more than two hundred! ”

Father Chen had a question and said, "How can you say that this is more than two hundred?" ”

"The price of our shipment is 501 tons, and the price of receipt can be set at 300 per tonne. According to the variety and quality of the logs, make adjustments. It can be more or less. In this way, we sit at home and only collect ten tons of logs a day, which is more than the current income! Chen Yuan said.

Father Chen nodded and agreed, "What you said is good. But I still need to talk to your second uncle about specific things. Although the market has been developed by us, how to do a good job in this market cannot be a rash decision. ”

Chen Yuan smiled, "That's the general direction, and I don't want to participate in specific things." Recently, I've been using my brain too much and I've exhausted myself. By the way, there is another point to say, now that everyone is making money, it is time to build a good house. The second uncle and the second aunt discuss it, and the father and mother also consider it. Whether the conditions are there, whether to build a house or a building, you make your own decisions. ”

After Chen Yuan said this, his mouth was also a little thirsty, and he drank the warm tea on the table, feeling very happy. He went back to his room, leaving the four adults to discuss the specifics.

At this time, Chen's mother said: "Qingjiang, there are some things that can't be said casually. Chen Yuan also said that we make money because we have the news of logs. If these news are known to others, it is really hard to say whether we can still make money like this. I finally got a profitable business, but I can't just make a yellow deal because of some nonsense! ”

"I know what to do. Let's discuss tomorrow's affairs! Father Chen felt a little unbearable on his face, especially with Chen Qingshui and his wife beside him.

Mother Chen moved her mouth and didn't say anything more. After being married for so many years, I have said too many similar things, but when my husband listens to it, there are too few and too little. This is different from the past, and it is related to the future fortune plan! In the future, when there is no one, she feels the need to remind him again!

In Chen Yuan's room, Su Muying was telling Chen Kai a story. At this time, Chen Kai was very naughty and talked a lot. Seven-year-old Chen Kai and thirteen-year-old Su Muying were together and chatted happily. As for Chen Yuan's elder brother, Chen Kai has admired him since he was a child. Now that I heard that my brother made a lot of money writing books, I admired each other even more, and felt that my brother was a person with unique abilities!

As soon as Chen Yuan entered the house, he took out the snacks he brought back and shared them. With these delicious and delicious drinks, Chen Kai is even happier. Su Muying is only a child six years older than Chen Kai, so she naturally likes these things.

Time passed, and it was 10 o'clock in the blink of an eye. The four adults discussed the matter and then broke up.

The second aunt came over to take Chen Kai home. In the bedroom, soon only Chen Yuan and Su Muying were left. As soon as the second aunt walked on the front foot, Chen's mother walked in on the back foot, she wanted to bring Su Muying over to sleep together, and let Chen's father come here to sleep. The bedroom over there has heating and an electric blanket, which is much better than this one.

Su Muying refused, she was very unaccustomed to sleeping with anyone other than her mother.

Chen's mother could only clean up the other bedroom and turn on the electric blanket. She left, leaving Chen Yuan and Su Muying to look at each other.
