Under the recommendation of Delek County Magistrate, Lin Qiangsheng got acquainted with Ackerman, the owner of the largest forest farm in the local area, who owns 1.85 million acres of forest land in Ackerman, Kenosha County, and the two took a helicopter to visit his huge forest farm.

On the Bell helicopter, Lin Johnson looked at the endless forests on the earth, and there were many small lakes in between, the terrain rose higher and higher the further north it went, and the southwest was a plain near Lake Michigan, and the climate was relatively mild.

Lin Qiangsheng couldn't help but say loudly to Ackerman: "Your afforestation work has done a good job!" He gave a thumbs up and admired the American awareness of afforestation, which is to use forestry resources while maintaining the forest cover, where nature conservation laws and people's ideas about maintaining the environment play an important role.

Ackerman said with a little pride: "Thank you, Mr. Lin, this is nothing, my forest farm is still small, but the forest density and the abundance of forest species here are definitely comparable to primeval forests!" ”

He continued to say to Lin Qiangsheng: "You know, International Paper has always wanted to buy my forest farm, if it weren't for Derek begging me this time, and you started a local paper company, I wouldn't have sold the forest farm anyway!" ”

Lin Qiangsheng nodded and shook Ackerman's hand, and said, "Thank you, believe me, your decision to sell the forest farm is completely correct, I am going to set up a very large-scale paper mill in Kenosha!" ”

Ackerman was surprised for a moment, nodded and said: "I hope so, I hope that the young people of Kenosha will have stable jobs, and this requires investors like you to create a job for them, only by leaving the money in Kenosha, will it prosper here, instead of just pulling the wood away like those paper companies!" ”

But Ackerman said solemnly to Lin Qiangsheng: "However, you have to promise me that you will continue to invest in afforestation every year after you buy the forest farm, and don't let the forest here disappear!" ”

"Yes, Mr. Ackerman, I promise you that the forest will not disappear!" Lin Qiangsheng nodded heavily. I agreed.

He felt that Ackerman was very assertive, and the owner of the forest farm was also dedicated to the local area, so Lin Qiangsheng did not embarrass the old man in the purchase cost of the forest farm. Eventually, he acquired the first tree farm in the United States for $3.4 million.

In the 80s, American Paper was in decline. During this period, the world's major paper companies also stopped the pace of expansion, but such as the United States International Paper Company, Procter & Gamble Company, Georgia Pacific, Weyerhae, Sweden Finland Stora Enso, UPM Inovance, Japan Oji Paper, Swedish Fiber, etc., these large paper companies in the world, especially the United States, Europe, South America, etc., have more than tens of millions of acres of forest farms.

Their expansion slowed down, and it happened that Lin Johnson and Johnson developed during this interval. Acquisition of forest farms and reserve resources. The competition in this period is not fierce, like the previous life in Southeast Asia and China are famous for the tireless destruction of the app Sinar Mas Paper has not yet been established, China's Nine Dragons Paper, the waste paper queen Zhang Yin, who made a fortune by collecting waste paper, just moved to Hong Kong this year with 30,000 yuan.

The world's top 10 forestry paper companies are now dominated by companies from the United States, Finland, Sweden and Japan, and their rankings have only changed slightly. The total annual sales of these companies exceed tens of billions of dollars, such as the sales of the United States International Paper Company has been maintained at about 20 billion dollars for a long time, paper, as long as human civilization continues. It's an industry that never goes out of style!

Mr. Lin invested in an 850,000-ton, small-to-medium paper mill on the outskirts of Kenosha to produce paper and cardboard products, a capacity that is large in China but still small in the United States.

He named his paper company Pioneer Paper, the idea came from John Berger's Pioneer Financial Group, and Lin Qiangsheng hoped to bring the avant-garde spirit in this word to this company and form the cultural spirit of the enterprise!

Pioneer Paper's main products include high-grade coated paper, magazine paper, newsprint, cultural paper, specialty paper, toilet paper, packaging materials, self-adhesive label materials, and wood flooring products.

Of course, these products cannot be produced by a single factory, considering the decline of the U.S. paper industry as a whole. The market is not very good. During this period, it is not suitable to compete with the low-grade products of other large companies, such as mass paper and other products, so paper mills start to produce high-grade paper, coated paper, magazine paper, toilet paper and other products.

Jeffrey chose the right manager for the company. He has been working with McKinsey & Company for a long time, and although McKinsey is not very strong in forestry, the company has a wide range of contacts.

It took nearly a month to scout forest farms and find suitable forestry cooperatives in the northern, eastern, and southern United States, where many companies only supply pulp products. Including the top 10 forestry paper groups also provide pulp products.

At the same time, Lin also wants to establish a waste paper recycling network, setting up offices in the economically developed north and central east of the United States, as well as in California and other regions.

The United States is a big country in paper production and consumption, but in the 80s, the Americans' waste paper recycling channels were also relatively disorganized, but the embryonic system was still established, and the scale and form of the old recycling industry in the United States in this era are a bit like China 30 years later, with many small companies and no economies of scale.

Lin Qiangsheng went to New York, which is the world's commercial center, and the amount of paper used is very large, and the waste paper produced by the city every day is also very considerable, and the waste paper yards in the suburbs are as lush as forests.

Du Ping was called to New York by Lin Qiangsheng, she has been in charge of the group's administrative work, is the administrative director of Lin Johnson Group, and now there is a new job waiting for her.

Lin Qiangsheng drove the car out of the city and drove Du Ping to a waste paper yard outside New York, where they walked around a few times, and then got out of the car to observe the bundles of waste paper, which were stacked as high as a hill and neatly organized.

Du Ping looked around, looked at the amazing hill of waste paper in front of her, and said with emotion: "Although I have been in the United States for several years, I am sometimes surprised by the creative power of the Americans. ”

Lin Qiangsheng said: "This is the center of the world economy, the business is developed, it is estimated that all over the world, as long as the factory that produces paper will sell paper here!" At the same time, he said in his heart that China will catch up with the speed of the United States in a few decades. Kyo and Kami. The amount of waste paper produced in a day in a big city like the sea is also considerable.

Du Ping asked curiously: "Will the paper produced in China also be sold here?" ”

Lin Qiangsheng nodded and said, "Of course, domestic paper mills also have to create foreign exchange!" ”

"Oh", Du Ping thought about it, with the kind of domestic economic system and the foreign exchange fever that arose a few years ago, how many manufacturers want to make dollars!

"So there must be paper made of domestic wood here!" Du Ping said, looking for it in the waste paper pile.

Lin Qiangsheng said with a smile: "Even if there are, it is a minority, most of the paper here is still made by the United States itself, and the paper industry of the Americans itself is very developed!" ”

Du Ping already knew that Lin Qiangsheng intended to let her run a paper company, and after a period of understanding, she herself had a more intuitive impression of this industry.

She has been to the paper workshop, learned about the relationship between the paper industry and forestry, seen the wood feeding machine qì into wood pulp, and then made various products, and also understood that the scale of this industry is very large.

Lin Qiangsheng put on gloves and said to Du Ping: "You go farther!" ”

"What's wrong?" Although he didn't understand, Du Ping still took a few steps back, only to see Lin Qiangsheng pull out a lot of pieces of paper from the bundled waste paper pile.

Shaking off the dust, Lin Qiangsheng took the waste paper to Du Ping's front and said: "Although this kind of waste paper is not clean, it has been used, but you see that its fiber content is very high, this is American paper, such waste paper can be recycled and the value is very high, we can do this, and the American waste paper recycling industry has no big companies to compete, we have dug a gold mine!" ”

Du Ping looked at a few pieces of waste paper in Lin Qiangsheng's hand, she nodded with a smile and said, "Qiangsheng, as long as you think it's right, I support you!" ”

Lin Qiangsheng asked her: "You come to help me, you are not afraid of being dirty or tired, this is different from you used to sit in the office, you always have to run around!" ”

Du Ping looked at Lin Qiangsheng with a sincere smile, she shook her head lightly and said, "I'm not afraid, I'll do whatever you ask me to do!" Didn't you also say that this is a gold mine, I'm digging for gold, and it's good to walk around, I don't want to sit in my office all the time! ”

"That's good!" Lin Qiangsheng nodded with a smile and said, he put a few pieces of waste paper into a black plastic bag, and said to Du Ping: "We want to fully cooperate with waste paper recycling equipment manufacturers to study how to use waste paper resources more efficiently and jointly develop processes and formulas." But before the factory is built, we can now start trading waste paper to China right away! (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please visit wènhttp://mnet
