"Of course. After all, the proportion of wood chips in the total weight is very small, which is what I said earlier, according to the shape, size and texture of the wood to design the carving. ”

Wuyang said: "Mr. Yuan, I want to make this deal with Boss Li, you are an expert, give us a price that neither of us will lose, if we can accept it, these timbers will be the paving stones for you to become an art master." ”

Li Rixiong also said: "Teacher Yuan, then trouble you." ”

"Secretary Li, Boss Li, although I haven't been in contact with agarwood for almost two years, I have always cared about this thing, and the price is familiar, so let's do it, waiter, please bring a pen and paper, and I will mark it out in detail."

brought a pen and paper, Yuan Shengping wrote, and after writing it, he read it to everyone again. Then ask for everyone's opinions.

Wuyang said: "Mr. Yuan, you just said that the price of pure black agarwood is 10,000 US dollars per gram, why is it only 50,000 yuan now?" ”

"What I just said is the auction price, you may know that the auction house has to draw commissions, and you also have to pay accidental income tax, and what Boss Li can get is actually only 45,000 yuan, so you both take advantage of the transaction here. Although these yellow-brown ones are only 5,000 yuan per gram, they still have a lot of gambling, and the carved ornaments, if they are sought after, may cost 20,000 or 30,000 yuan per gram, and if they are smashed, they will lose money. ”

Wuyang said: "Teacher Yuan, don't worry, we have carved these things and collected them in the museum." Won't sell. So there is no question of zài losing money at all. ”

Yuan Shengping said: "Secretary Li." Boss Li's wood here. I'm afraid it's 15 kilograms of pure black alone. ”

"I only brought 30 kilograms in total, and the pure black ones were less, only 10 kilograms. ”

Yuan Shengping said: "Boss Li, you only brought so much, so what else is there at home?" ”

Li Rixiong smiled: "You can't take it if you have more, can you?" I have two precious dogs at home, so I can go and find them. ”

Wuyang said, "Uncle Li, let's go find a balance later." I'll pay you after the weighing. Mr. Yuan, you can take these woods back and carve them later. ”

Yuan Shengping said: "It's better to leave it to Principal Yu, I have to prepare knives during this time." To carve agarwood, it is not boxwood, and dozens of knives must be prepared. I had to design it myself, build it myself, and I didn't know where to build it. ”

Wuyang said: "Our company has a metal products factory, with the best quality steel, and the blacksmiths and fitters are also skilled, so I will arrange it." Let them assist you. ”

"Okay, I want to start work as soon as possible. Secretary Li. When the time comes, I will take as much wood as I receive from Principal Yu, and after carving it, I will return his artwork and sawdust, and the weight will not be less. ”

Wuyang remembered that he hadn't set a salary standard yet, so he said, "Okay, I'll bother you." Mr. Yuan, how do you think the salary should be paid well? It just so happens that Principal Yu is here today, so let's settle down. ”

Principal Yu said: "Secretary Li, these carvers of ours are all workaholics, working for more than ten hours a day, and the monthly salary I set for the front-line carvers is 100,000, since Master Yuan is going to be alone, I think I should add 20,000 yuan." ”

"Isn't it more?" Wuyang asked.

Yuan Shengping said: "Secretary Li, there is no need to add more, I have dragged my family to eat and live here, the studio has confiscated a penny, the children's school money has been reimbursed, and my wife has arranged a job, I am very satisfied." Now that you can carve agarwood, I see it as a favor from you, and why do you want to increase my salary? ”

Wuyang said: "The bridge returns to the bridge and the road returns to the road, and what should be increased should be increased." Principal Yu, this idea needs inspiration, you arrange a quiet environment, neither attendance, nor ask how many works have been carved, let him play freely. ”

"I'll take care of that."

"Another thing is to set up the best creation award in the studio, which will be evaluated once a year, and the creators of the most beautifully designed and carved works will be rewarded heavily, and the prize must be 500,000 yuan to achieve the purpose of the award."

Principal Yu said: "To set up this award, it must be divided into types and levels, wood carving, stone carving, ivory carving, and agarwood carving are set up respectively, with first, second, and third prizes, so as to better stimulate everyone's creative enthusiasm and create more high-quality products." ”

Wuyang said, "Okay, just do it." Mr. Yuan, if you see a wood suitable for carving hand beads, especially a nine-eyed dzi like Li Daxing, you can carve them into hand beads. ”

Yuan Shengping asked: "Secretary Li, you are a leading cadre, isn't it okay to bring a hand bead?" ”

"It's not that I wear it, I have a lot of friends, sometimes friends come, there is nothing to give, just send a string of hand beads, this thing is not like jadeite, most people know that it is worth a lot of money, I think it is wood, at most the same as Huanghuali, a few hundred yuan a piece, a small meaning, will be accepted. It's okay, let's eat, serve. ”

After eating, Wuyang arranged for Deng Baoliang to go to the store to borrow a balance, and after weighing the agarwood, Principal Yu and Yuan Shengping left first with the agarwood.

Wuyang said, "Abba, I'll transfer money to you on the computer." ”

Li Rixiong said: "I don't have an account with a bank in your country, so you can transfer the money to Ah Ying's account." A-Ying, you just leave it to your younger brothers and sisters, and you don't need the money in the family for the time being. ”

Li Ying said: "Abba, how can there be money in the family? Now that Wuyang has given us three sisters so much money, you don't have to be so frugal. ”

"Really rich. Didn't we cut down so many huanghuali pears, I and your grandma and a few people, all the branches and roots were cleaned up, and the diameter was less than 5 centimeters, and we all used them to make hand beads, and sold them to several wholesalers in southern Yunnan, and they gave 100 yuan each, and how many wanted. ”

Li Ying said, "Abba, how much can it be sold for?" ”

Li Rixiong said with a smile: "Just kidding, I brought 50,000 pieces at a time, which is 5 million, and I sold them 12 times in total, and there are 60 million." ”

Li Ying said, "Abba." You're losing money. In the city where we read. The branches are sold for 180 yuan a piece. made of tree roots, sold for more than 200 people. ”

"Don't be afraid, there is a hand-bead making machine at home, and there are many branches and roots. Besides, we don't have that much energy to sell, and we also have to give dealers some profits. ”

Wuyang said: "Abba, have all the huanghuali pears in the house been cut down?" ”

"Not yet. The little branches and roots of the trees you bought were discarded. What a pity, I asked someone to pick it up. My own tree will grow if I stay on the mountain. Those that have been cut down have been transported to your hunting grounds in Lanjiang and let them dry naturally. There will be fewer and fewer of these things in the future, and the price will go up. ”

Wuyang said: "How much agarwood have you dug up and put at home?" ”

Li Rixiong said: "There are two houses piled up at home, and they have not weighed, so there should be 10 tons. Wuyang, do you want it? ”

"Of course, the more the merrier."

"Then I'll go back quickly. Take the dog and go for it. Two dogs at home, as long as I'm at home. Every day before dawn, they clamored to go out, and they were addicted to looking for agarwood. ”

Wuyang said, "Abba, are they all such a small piece?" Is there a big one? ”

"There are 5 or 6 big ones, and they are not very big, about 100 kilograms, but they are all black and oily."

"Okay, don't break it, when the time comes, I will carve it out, and I will put it at home, and it will be very magnificent." Abba, did your neighbors know about these things? If you know, you should send it over as soon as possible, it is not safe to leave it at home. ”

"The neighbors don't know that the house is so far away, and they don't usually visit the door. It's that a few friends in the city know that I dug agarwood, but I sued them, and that's just a few pieces. Of course, when it comes to money, I'm always more steady. Wuyang, you arrange for a truck to come over to pull the goods and wait for me to deliver them at the border. ”

"Okay, I'll call right away to arrange, when are you leaving?"

Li Rixiong said: "I have been to your house, and the children have seen it, so I will have nothing to do, so I will leave tomorrow." Wuyang, A-Ying and the three sisters have been at your house for so long, why haven't you accepted them yet. ”

"Abba, they still have to study, they have to bring their younger brothers and sisters, if they are accepted, this book will not be able to read."

Li Ying said: "Wuyang, in fact, it doesn't matter if we read this book or not. ”

"You have passed the Chinese and English now, if you want to preside over a job in the future, don't care about the technology, just learn by doing. But your brother can't do this, they must learn more skills in order to manage the business well, otherwise they may have to take a lot of detours. ”

Li Ying smiled and said, "Wuyang, there's no such thing, Bill?" Didn't Gates also not graduate from college? ”

Li Rixiong said: "Ah Ying, we don't have a business at home now, so it's important to let your younger brothers and sisters study hard first." ”

Li Ying said: "Abba, you are wrong, how can you say that there is no business? Isn't the factory that produces hand beads at home a business? Since the raw materials are not worried, and the sales are not worried, we can hire workers to produce, and we can let the mothers free up their hands to do other things. If you hire workers, isn't it an enterprise? ”

Li Rixiong said with a smile: "Such a small workshop can also be regarded as an enterprise? Wuyang, now that you want these agarwood, I also have the capital to run a business, you are an expert, just show me the way, I also try to run a business. ”

Wuyang said: "Abba, the money from running a business is much slower than digging agarwood, and sometimes it is not necessarily profitable." ”

"Digging agarwood is a matter of luck, if you touch it, you will have it, and if you can't touch it, you won't have it. Besides, this is not a long-term solution, and if you want to expand the scale of family production, you must run an industrial and commercial enterprise, so let's talk about it. ”

Wuyang said: "Abba, I don't know much about the actual situation in your country, so I can only put forward some general reference opinions, and I still want you to do market analysis for specific operations." ”

"Okay, tell me about it."

"Abba, investments can be divided into long-term and short-term investments. For example, if you buy trees such as huanghuali, white wood, and agarwood in the mountains, it may take decades to harvest, but this kind of investment is less affected by the market, is very reliable, and the profit is reliable; Short-term investment, you can grow bananas, mangoes and other fruits, these things are sold in large quantities and can be effective quickly, but they are greatly affected by the market, and the price is not very stable. ”

Lai Ri Hung said: "These are all agriculture, you talk about industry and commerce. ”

"Okay, I'll start with business. Abba. I have a commercial project right now. You can take it over. I need 200,000 tons of rice a year to send to our northeastern neighbor. The cost of procurement in China is getting higher and higher, and now early rice costs 270 yuan per 100 kilograms, and late rice costs 280 yuan, that is, 4.15 yuan per kilogram of rice. What is the purchase price on your side? ”

"I don't know, anyway, we buy rice at home, it's about 3 yuan per kilogram, of course, high-quality rice. There are 20 yuan per kilogram. ”

Wuyang said: "I don't want high-quality rice, it's just ordinary rice." You're talking about the retail price, and the purchase price is much lower. If you can build a processing plant, buy rice and process it into rice, and sell 200,000 tons to me, you will have at least one dollar of profit per kilogram of rice alone, and you will have a profit of 200 million yuan, and rice bran can be sold for 0.6 yuan per kilogram. It can also be sold for more than 60 million. Do you think it's worth it? ”

"It's worth it, 200,000 tons of rice. That is, 310,000 tons of rice, at best, the output of 400,000 mu of paddy fields, which is not very difficult. But it's not easy to build such a big factory. ”

Wuyang said: "Abba, it's not difficult, our family's company has production, and it can be shipped over." The key is to have a place to build a factory and to have an adequate supply of electricity. ”

Li Rixiong said: "These should not be difficult, I will go back to do some understanding, and then I will discuss with you." Wuyang, you say, are there any other enterprises that can be built? ”

"Absolutely. It can produce computers, household appliances, biomedicine, steel, cement and building materials, anyway, if you know what is in the most scarce market, you can produce what you need, and I can provide you with the production equipment and technology you need. ”

Li Rixiong said: "We have abundant reserves of coal and iron ore there, and I want to buy a coal mine and an iron mine, mine coal and iron ore by myself, smelt them myself, and use the rest of the steel produced to produce household appliances and ships except for construction steel for sale. ”

Wuyang smiled: "Abba, it turns out that you have already planned in your heart, Top Gun." Whatever you need me to do, just say it. ”

"Wuyang, that's the case, our country has certain preferential policies for foreign investment, I think, this time to sell you agarwood and next time, you will help me set up an account, as a special account for investment, you send people to open mines, set up factories, I pay them wages, what do you think?"

"Okay, when do you think you want to go, what project you are going to do, and how big the scale is, I'll just send someone over, and there is no problem at all."

Li Rixiong said: "My principle is not to borrow money, not to use the money of Ah Ying and her sisters, under this principle, I can do as much as I can." Time, during this time, I will continue to look for agarwood, plant huanghuali and white wood incense trees, and wait for the Spring Festival to start building a factory. I think that next year we will build a grain processing plant, a coal mine, an iron mine, a steel plant, a shipyard, and a household appliance factory, mainly to produce refrigerators and air conditioners. I just don't know if the funds are enough. ”

"We'll do the math. How much pure black agarwood do you have in your home? ”

"Let's calculate it by one ton first, but there are no new discoveries, and there should be this number."

Wuyang calculated, 50,000 per gram, it should be 50 billion, grain processing plants, coal mines, iron mines even buy equipment, each has 3 or 4 billion is enough, large steel plants, shipyards have 20 billion enough, household power plants have 30 billion enough, and the remaining 5, 60 billion, plus other varieties of agarwood, road construction, car or something, it is more than enough.

"Abba, that should be enough. Well, I sent someone over to build it first, and then the factory was running normally, and my younger brothers graduated from college, so they were all handed over to manage it. During this period, there will be accounting statements for you, and A-Ying and they will also take time to audit and will not spend your money indiscriminately. ”

Lai Ri Hung said: "Your people must be trustworthy. How much salary do they have in your country, go to our company, and guarantee only a little more. It's just that when they come back from my mission, you still have to keep them. ”

Wuyang said: "Abba rest assured, the people I arranged in the past are all excellent talents, how can I abandon them." Abba, when you go out to look for agarwood, you should pay attention to the places you go and recruit more migrant workers from poor areas. As long as the project starts, it will require a lot of labor. ”

"yes, I didn't expect that. In the end, when you are a big cadre, you need to consider the problem comprehensively. Wuyang, our economic development in Vietnam is far inferior to China, in some areas, especially in remote mountainous areas, people's lives are still very poor, many girls hope to get married, to change their fate for themselves and their families, you send people to the past, can you choose more unmarried young people to go over? ”

Li Ying said: "Wuyang, our girl there, was commented by others as 'not greedy, not lazy, not casual, not arrogant, not worshipping money, young and beautiful, hard-working and virtuous', and has many advantages." ”

Wuyang said: "Isn't it difficult for your girls to marry into China and become Chinese citizens? ”

Li Rixiong said: "It's not difficult, it's easy to move out and become naturalized, and the cost is not very high, and a beautiful girl with education is enough for 9,000 US dollars." ”

Li Ying said with a smile: "Abba, the money that Wuyang gave us can not buy hundreds of thousands of beautiful girls, but we are not beautiful." ”

Lai Ri Hung said, "You didn't sell it by Abba, you ran away on your own, and you took all my children away." The money that Wuyang gives you is for your future children, and of course, if you can give me a little interest, I will be able to live a good life. ”

Wuyang said: "Abba, what conditions do they need besides the dowry?" ”

"It's just different from person to person. At the very least, there must be a source of income, so that the girl's life is secure after she comes, and there is money for her family, so that it is financially justified. Another one, the age must be roughly the same, an old man with white hair, a face full of age spots, and a family with four walls, even if he buys a beautiful girl, he will run away and can't keep it. ”

Wuyang said: "Abba, let me tell you about the situation, you can see if it's okay." In our company's mine, there are a group of unmarried young people around the age of 30, all of whom are strong laborers, with an annual income of about 60,000 yuan, so can they go to your country to find a bride? ”

Li Rixiong said: "They are in good condition, why don't you look for them in your country?" ”

"It's hard to put into words. In our country, there are more men and fewer women, and their education level is not very high, and they work in the deep mountains and old forests, so they have no opportunity to contact with girls, and the other is that they have worked for a few years, and the money in their hands is enough to buy a house in the city. ”

Li Ying said: "Abba, Chinese girls have a very high social status, and many young people know that they want others to care about them when they are not hardworking and virtuous. ”

Li Rixiong said: "In this case, then I will help with this." But not for the time being, I'll contact you later, and let them go to our country. How much do you want? (To be continued......)
