Chapter Ninety-Nine: Expensive or Not Expensive
The rubber tree is also known as oak wood, and the latex that flows out of the bark is cut after it is matured, and it can be made into natural rubber that can be widely used in industry, transportation, medicine and health and daily life after solidification and drying, which has considerable economic value.
This tree is planted into two categories: one is a solid tree cultivated from seeds, which has a long economic cycle of 35 to 40 years;
The other is a budding tree that is planted directly from the branches of mature trees. The economic cycle is relatively short, only 15-20 years.
The entire woodland is divided into four blocks according to the age of the rubber trees for 5 years, 10 years, 15 years and 20 years, and the 135,000 rubber trees planted on the first three plots of land are in the rubber production period, and the 45,000 rubber trees in the fourth block have stopped growing and have become oak wood specializing in making industrial synthetic boards, waiting to be cut down.
"Master, oak wood is just a miscellaneous material that should not be of great use, and this year's price is very high, only RM200 per tree, and the farmers at home can't finish cutting it, so they have to hire some lumberjacks..."
This man is the head of the rubber plantation and the steward of the entire estate.
Originally, according to the meaning of the Mercedes-Benz driver sent by Tubo a few days ago, since the rubber forest belonged to Zhang Longchu, then naturally everything was in charge of him, and these original stewards, farmers, florists, etc., if they wanted, they could resign and find them again.
But Zhang Longchu was born in the United States, he was young, and no matter how much he loved Chinese civilization, he didn't understand the secret thoughts of adults who really lived in the Chinese cultural circle, and felt troublesome, so he left everyone in the manor.
Such a decision is not good for those farmers, anyway, they have to get paid for Weibo in any forest. The hard work of rubber tapping is great news for Zhuangtou.
After all, the head of the village was in charge of this rubber forest in his prime, and he married to the Jin family as the companion of the young lady, and now the young lady has long died, and if the manor was really resigned by Zhang Longchu after the manor was sold, he was not considered the steward of the Jin family. He can't return to his family, so he can only rely on his savings to make a living, and in the future, he may even become a farmer and live by selling coolies.
Therefore, after being retained, this head of the village showed great loyalty and respect for Zhang Longchu, and he did not hesitate to do his best for the master's family and business, and then died.
In a country where the concept of 'all men are created equal and free' has been deeply rooted in the soul, it is simply inconceivable to establish such an exaggerated employment relationship. But on the island of Kalimantan, the elite of the era in the northern city of Kuching enjoy a modern democratic life, discussing whether the next prime minister should choose hawks with tough relations with China;
At the same time, they are still soft ****, less than 100 kilometers away, their compatriots are like tenants in the old era thousands of years ago, relying on the big manor to make a living, but it seems normal.
Therefore, after getting acquainted with the life here, Zhang Longchu found out. In fact, Southeast Asian countries are the paradise of those who hold power and wealth, and how poor people are living here. The people in power and the rich live in such a corrupt and extravagant way, for example, he is just lucky to be a small rubber plantation owner now, but he feels that he is respected more than the president of the United States.
"But Zhang Longchu, who can't continue to immerse himself in such a life, you have relaxed enough in the past few days to make up for the hardships you have suffered in the previous few months, and if you continue like this, your ambition will be gone. It's completely over, and we have to do something serious..."But although this kind of life is good, it is alarming, Zhang Longchu thought while listening to the housekeeper's small thoughts.
So he took a deep breath of moist and fresh air, straightened up and asked casually, "Then after cutting down this batch of oak trees." Can I make a net profit of at least RM8 million, Puxin? ”
"Yes, sir, but oak wood is only harvested once every five years, so this year's income can exceed 40 million, and if you usually tap rubber, each farmer will be paid RM100 to RM130 a day... In recent years, the rubber market has not been good, and after deducting expenses, the annual income is about RM30 million. Pu Xin replied respectfully.
RM30 million is enough to $6 million even if converted into meters, which is a huge number for anyone.
Zhang Longchu only cares about enjoying and exploring the details of the Jin family on the Internet these days, and he has not taken care of understanding the income of rubber forests, and thinks that the income of oak every five years is the bulk of the income of the farm.
He calculated that 1,000 acres of rubber plantations could have an annual income of more than RM100 to RM2 million, which was quite reasonable, but he never expected that the actual income of the farm would be more than ten times that of his imagination, and he couldn't help but exclaim, "What? ”
"Master, a total of 180,000 rubber trees in the farm are 'bud grafting', and they can only be tapped, so the actual rubber trees are 135,000, and the rubber is cut every 3 days...
According to the price of rubber in recent years, an acre can get a gross profit of about RM65,000, and then deduct labor, freight, and agricultural taxes, which is 30 million. Pu Xin thought that Zhang Longchu was too little income, and hurriedly explained.
"Yes, that's a lot, wow, this Jin Xinhua is really generous." Hearing this, Zhang Longchu's face was cloudy, and he sighed in praise of what he asked, and then was silent for a while, and learned the tone of those big names in film and television dramas and commanded: "Puxin, I've rested enough in the past few days, I will go to the plane to explore when the rain stops today, and everything in Zhuangzi will be handed over to you, do it well." ”
Already knowing that his young new master had taken a step forward when he was exploring the plane, he got a kind of treasure called 'enchanted equipment', and exchanged it for a rubber forest from the eldest young master of the Jin family, but he didn't expect that after he made a fortune, he would go to that kind of day of licking blood from the knife edge, and Pu Xin, who knew that he would be wrong, put down a big stone in his heart, opened his mouth and seemed to want to dissuade him, but in the end he didn't dare to nod his head and respond, "Yes." ”
Zhang Longchu, who was in deep thought, naturally didn't care about the attitude of the housekeeper next to him, and when the heavy rain stopped, he resolutely ignored the darkness and forced Pu Xin to drive him to the 'Kalimantan Plane Development Center' where he worked 24 hours a day in the south of Kuching.
After spending RM1,000 to get his second pass to the frontier, he rushed to the long-distance station and took the free bus and trekked for 30 hours to a supply point called 'Bao He'.
The reason why he didn't go to the two supply points of gold and stone monkeys, which are entrenched in the powerful Chinese forces, is because Zhang Longchu feels that it is reasonable for a rich man with a sincere personality to spend millions or even tens of millions of dollars to buy the equipment he needs from the hands of an ordinary public who is pleasing to his eyes, but if the price is hundreds of millions, it is very strange.
And an property that can generate more than RM30 million in income every year is worth at least hundreds of millions, so out of a cautious character, he feels that it is the smartest thing to do without meeting the Kim family, a big family of Chinese descent in Kalimantan.
It's a pity that the tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, just when Zhang Longchu stepped on the frontier zone, the antique decoration of a five-story hotel covering an area of an extremely objective area in the east area of the gold placer supply point, in a Chinese-style secret room, a Chinese young man who looks dignified but has slightly thin lips and faintly gives people a harsh look, is pacing back and forth excitedly;
He said loudly: "Abba, you don't know, now Jin Fenghua's loser has spread all over the two supply points of Shajin and Stone Monkey.
The rubber forest worth RM500 million is so worthless and exchanged for an enchanted equipment for a new person who explores the plane, you say he is not stupid, ha, even if he pretends to be kind, just give a few million, their Kim family, this is hypocrisy is too much, and his head doesn't turn..."
An old man with a goatee next to the young man sat on a chair in the mahogany hall, quietly listened to the eldest son's teasing of Jin Fenghua, and asked slowly: "Ah Feng, what you said are all the words that have been circulated among you people, right?" ”
"Yes, the Liu family, the Zhang family, the Gu family... Anyway, as far as I know, in the last two or three days, the boys and girls of the famous families in those rows have gathered and talked about this incident as an anecdote. The young man said with a grin.
"Then do you know what the ordinary people in this supply point say about this," the old man said expressionlessly: "They all say that the young master of the Jin family is more righteous and generous than the old man, and that mercenary Xinding just gave him a bottle of water to drink, and he can't bear to cheat people."
After falling in love with the equipment that Xinding inadvertently obtained in the heteroplane, he forcibly took the property worth hundreds of millions left by his deceased mother in exchange, which is really rare in the world.
And although the ancestors of this Jin family have been blocking characters for generations, they are also extremely shrewd, and the young master Jin of this generation is willing to pay 500 million for an enchanted bracer, which must be worth the money, and the person who can use such expensive equipment must be very strong..."
Listening to his father's words, the smile on the young man's face gradually froze, and the green tendons on his neck slowly burst out one by one, seeing his appearance, the old man raised his voice and asked sternly without mercy: "Is it expensive to buy an enchanted wrist for 500 million, it is really expensive, not only do you think it is expensive, but I also think it is not worth it."
But do you think it's expensive to spend RM500 million to leave a legendary story at the gold placer and stone monkey supply points?
In the future, as long as Jin Fenghua is alive, there will always be people who remember that when he was 20 years old, he once used a rubber forest worth 500 million yuan and a friend who only had one side to help him change a bottle of water with a bracer guard, remembering that Jin Fenghua is a heroic and righteous young man!
What is this, this is the 'potential', it is the 'hope', it is the connotation of his 'upper position' after Jin Fenghua, and it is the reason why our Hou family will have to be pressed by the Jin family in the next life, and now do you think the 500 million is still expensive? (To be continued.) )
