"Brothers, it's time to get out of the car!"

With a rough shout, a group of five big and three thick Northeast men jumped out of several large trucks covered with tarpaulins. Although the train and the car were bumpy on the road for several days, the faces of the men did not have a tired look at all, on the contrary, with an irrepressible expression of excitement.

Nine years ago, he went to Beijing to attend the National Day ceremony of that year, and Lin Zhenhua, who also went to Beijing as a model worker, lived in the same room in the ACFTU Guest House, and formed a deep friendship.

Three years ago, Wu Rongxiang's logging district received a notice from his superiors to stop logging operations. As a result, almost all the lumberjacks in the entire work area were laid off. Wu Rongxiang can also understand the matter of stopping logging, he is already an old man who is close to the age of sixties, and he has begun to feel sorry for future generations when he sees the once lush mountains turning into barren mountains and bald mountains under his hands.

"If we cut it down like this, will our children and grandchildren still have trees to cut down in the future?" Wu Rongxiang said this to his subordinates.

"But, if we don't cut down trees, what will we rely on to eat?" His subordinates questioned him.

In order to accommodate these laid-off loggers, the forest farm also thought of a lot of ways, inviting professors from Northeast Forestry University to teach everyone how to grow fungus and shiitake mushrooms, as well as some other ways to make money. However, where is this kind of career transformation so easy, getting used to the hands of the chainsaw, and going to serve edible mushrooms, it is simply Zhang Fei's embroidery, which makes this group of men sad.

Just when everyone's life was getting more and more difficult, Wu Rongxiang's old friend Lin Zhenhua suddenly appeared in front of him as if he had fallen from the sky. As soon as they met, Lin Zhenhua looked Wu Rongxiang's figure up and down, and asked a question with a smile: "Old Wu, can you still hold a big saw?" ”

"If you can't hold a big saw, can you still call Northeast Wu Gang?" Wu Rongxiang replied proudly, but after finishing speaking, he sighed again, looked at his hand, and said, "Alas, I guess I won't have the opportunity to hold a big saw again in this life." ”

"Lao Wu has a project to cut trees, are you interested in taking it?" Lin Zhenhua then asked.

Wu Rongxiang's eyes lit up: "Where is the tree, how large is the area?" ”

Lin Zhenhua said: "The area is not too big, that is, square kilometers."

"Square kilometers! That is...... 300,000 hectares, which is seven or eight times the area of our forest farm, Xiaolin, where did you get such a forest? Wu Rongxiang was taken aback. He was not highly educated, but he was very clear when it came to the area of woodland

"Far away, in the outer Xing'an Mountains, this is only a part." Lin Zhenhua said with great ambition.

Wu Rongxiang said: "Go to Lao Maozi to cut down trees?" Xiaolin, you're not kidding me, are you? ”

Lin Zhenhua said: "Of course, it's not a joke, this is a cooperation project that we are negotiating with the Russian side. Russia has provided us with 10,000 cubic meters of timber, which is equivalent to square kilometers of forest. However, the Russians say they lack loggers and cannot complete these logging tasks......"

"We have manpower!" Wu Rongxiang didn't wait for Lin Zhenhua to finish speaking, then grabbed the conversation and said, "Xiaolin, how many people do you want, if there are not 10,000 laid-off lumberjacks around us, there must be seven or eight thousand, all of them are well-known good men." ”

"Hehe, Lao Wu, didn't I come to you for help?" Lin Zhenhua said with a smile, "I don't understand this kind of thing at all, so I count on you to help, brother." In this way, Lao Wu, you are old, you don't have to cut down trees yourself, I want to ask you to be the captain of the logging team, organize a logging team to go to the Outer Xing'an Mountains, and explore the road first. When you've figured out your experience, we'll organize more logging teams to come over. ”

"No problem! You see! Wu Rongxiang swept away the sad look he had seen for several years, "I'll contact my old guys right away, don't worry, all of them are top-notch loggers." ”

In this way, a logging team of nearly 100 people was formed within a few days, and under the leadership of Wu Rongxiang, they crossed the Heilongjiang River and slaughtered the vast Siberia. Along the way, they didn't know where they went, only that there were Russian and Chinese personnel along the way, and they continued to lead them. After entering the forest area of the Outer Khing'an Mountains, the eyes of the loggers were attracted by the boundless forest. The cedars, firs, spruces, larch, oaks, ash, birches, etc., which have grown for many years, seem to the lumberjacks almost like long-parted lovers, who are eager to get out of the car, push them down, hug them, and fall asleep to the fragrance they emit.

What made the loggers feel the most was that Lin Zhenhua told them that when they cut wood in Russia, they enjoy the treatment of working abroad, and the salary level is doubled on the basis of the country, in addition, there are travel subsidies, excess rewards and so on. Everyone has already calculated in their hearts that working here for a month is enough to get an income of more than 2,000 yuan, which is the annual income level of everyone during the period of being laid off.

"Old Wutou, your friend is really capable, he was able to get such a big forest here from Lao Maozi." Someone couldn't help but shout at Wu Rongxiang.

Wu Rongxiang smiled proudly: "Of course, the model worker is much better than me." ”

"Old Wu Tou, you are not ambiguous as a model worker, otherwise, can Mr. Lin find your head? We're all stained with your light. The workers said with some compliment.

Wu Rongxiang enjoyed the respect of the workers, and in his heart, there was another joy that could not be expressed. Lin Zhenhua promised Wu Rongxiang that he only needed to work here for three years with this logging team, and when everything was on track, Wu Rongxiang could retire and go home. At that time, Lin Zhenhua will pay him a generous commission, the amount of which is 500,000 yuan.

A full 500,000 yuan, 100,000 yuan for each child, and the remaining 100,000 yuan is enough for himself and his wife to live like the landlords in the old society. With money in hand, you don't have to worry about your old age, what should you do?

Regarding this issue, Wu Rongxiang had planned it a long time ago. Over the past few years, he has carefully calculated that he has cut down a total of trees over the years. He decided that in his lifetime he would plant another tree on the hill he had cut down, so that when he closed his eyes, he would have an account for future generations.

When Wu Rongxiang led the loggers to start logging the Russian forests with a big saw, a delegation of Zhongqiang business elites headed by Qi Zhongmou, An Yan, and Xiong Lijun was touring various cities in Russia. Wherever the delegation went, local political and business circles greeted each other and regarded this group of Chinese as their own gods of wealth.

"Yanzi, your Jiankang household appliances have signed orders of more than 400 million yuan so far, right? Isn't it time to give you a little bit of the market? At the welcome banquet held by the Russian local government, Xiong Lijun looked at An Yan, who was swimming among Russian officials and businessmen like a butterfly wearing flowers, and said with jealousy.

An Yan walked up to Xiong Lijun with a red wine glass, and Gegejiao said with a smile: "Brother Xiong, how can my little sister compare to you, don't think that I don't know that you poured down the Minister of Industry on the wine table the day before yesterday, and they promised to exchange 20,000 tons of steel for household appliances worth 10,000 yuan with you." Your business is equivalent to one-tenth of my sister's business volume. ”

Xiong Lijun said with a bitter face: "Yanzi, don't mention drinking, good guy, you don't know how much Lao Maozi drinks in order to make that guy drink well, I went to the bathroom and vomited three times, brother, what kind of business is this, this is playing with life." ”

"Didn't Brother Ringo say that Russia is full of gold, and if you miss this village, there will be no shop. So, you just have to play for a while. An Yan had no sympathy for Xiong Lijun's situation, she smiled slightly and walked towards the crowd with a wine glass.

"Alas, it's hard." Xiong Lijun muttered to himself, and then plunged into the crowd with a wine glass: "Dawali I have a high-quality color TV here, a twenty-one-inch plane right angle with remote control, are you interested?" ”

In one corner of the banquet hall, Qi Zhongmou, with the help of an interpreter, was pouring out a pitch to a Russian official who claimed to be the head of an industrial complex. The Russian officials listened to all kinds of materials that Qi Zhongmou said in his mouth, and their saliva flowed out unconsciously.

"You want canned food? Yes, 10 wagons, is it enough? There are canned meat, canned mushrooms, canned fruits, all guaranteed to be of the best quality. And cigarettes, the most famous brand in China, Zhongnanhai, in China, which can only be bought by the most powerful people, I'll get you two standard boxes. What the? How can I get it, just kidding, you go to China to inquire, or when everyone buys toad glasses on the street, I am already in business, and I have a big network. Qi Zhongmou said with his hands dancing. …,

"Mr. Qi, these things are very much needed by us, and these goods are in demand in the Russian market. However, I don't have any cash to pay you, do you think there is any way? The Russian official stammered and asked, he really wanted to get the supplies, but where could the whole of Russia get the cash to pay for the goods.

Qi Zhongmou said: "I know, before I came out, Xiao Lin ・・・・・・Oh, by the way, you don't know if I said it, in short, the person who organized us to come to Russia has already introduced us to us." It doesn't matter if you don't have money, we can barter, do you have any supplies? China is very short of heavy industrial products now, you have raw materials, machinery and equipment, or automobiles and so on, you can exchange them. ”

"Heavy industrial products?" The Russian official scratched his ears and thought about it for a long time, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and a sentence came out: "By the way, airplanes, I have four Tu-154s, do you want them?" ”

"Figure 154!" Qi Zhongmou was also taken aback, he knew that this type of aircraft was a large plane with a maximum take-off weight of tons and capable of carrying 150 passengers. Surprised, his heart began to calculate quickly.

Qi Zhongmou's Zhongyi company had previously opened some stores in Russia that specialized in goods from the country, but those sales were mainly for the retail market. This time, Lin Zhenhua organized everyone to come over to trade with the Russian government, taking the road of wholesale commodities.

In fact, the goods of China and Russia are very complementary. The former Soviet Union attached too much importance to the development of heavy industry and neglected light industry and agriculture, resulting in a shortage of light industrial products and agricultural and sideline products in the market. After the reform and opening up, China adopted a policy of giving priority to the development of light industry, especially in the open coastal areas, and undertook a large number of labor-intensive industries transferred from developed countries, which were mainly light industries. In the past two years, due to the weak market, many light industry enterprises in China have experienced serious unsalable products, and tens of billions of yuan of backlogged goods have been piled up in warehouses of all sizes across the country, eager to find a market.

After communicating with Piyuzin, Lin Zhenhua put forward a proposal to the State Planning Commission to mobilize non-governmental forces to carry out large-scale barter trade with Russia. The State Development Planning Commission attaches great importance to this matter and, together with other departments, has promulgated a series of policies to encourage enterprises to sell their backlogged commodities to Russia in exchange for all kinds of heavy industrial products needed for national construction.

Qi Zhongmou was originally a person with a strong gambling nature, and when he encountered such a good opportunity, he was naturally not far behind. He withdrew all the funds he had accumulated over the years in business, and together with bank loans, he had scraped together hundreds of millions of worth of goods, ready to come to Russia to make a big profit.

Previously, he had exchanged the backlog of food, clothing, electrical appliances and other goods for many kinds of materials, which were so abundant in Russia that they were almost rotten, and once they were shipped back to China, they would be worth a hundred times, which was enough to make Qi Zhongmou's trip to Russia an unprecedented bumper harvest. In the list of materials he harvested, there were steel, aluminum, heavy machine tools, and trucks, but he never imagined that there would be people who wanted to add four more large flying planes to his list

But what do I need to plane? Qi Zhongmou asked himself.

Unlike machine tools and trucks, airplanes can only be sold to airlines and have a very limited number of customers to choose from, while the latter two things have a wide range of applications and are easy to sell. Qi Zhongmou wanted to refuse this official's recommendation, but another thought uncontrollably erected in his heart.

What is the switch back to steel and machine tools? Throughout the ages, has any private person been able to exchange an overseas plane for a return? If you can make this deal, then even 10 or 20 years from now, there will still be people who will remember their feat, what an honor.

"These planes are brand new, and our local airline just bought them back the year before last, and they have just flown thousands of hours." Seeing that Qi Zhongmou's face was cloudy, the Russian official hurriedly emphasized.

"Okay, deal!" Qi Zhongmou made up his mind, he raised his wine glass and touched it heavily with the other party. The guests and hosts drank all the wine in their glasses, and then laughed together. Clear
