Unlike the domestic houses that like to use reinforced concrete to build houses, the main materials of the houses in the country are wood and synthetic panels and light steel structures, so the cost of materials in China is much higher than that of the houses in the country.

At present, more than 90% of the main structure of the house is made of wood, the remaining 8% is made of light steel sheets, and 2% is made of synthetic panels.

Because many houses here are designed with color box panels, its walls share the load evenly, and there is no need for pillar beams at all.

But before building a house, the foundation is poured with concrete.

In addition, studs are embedded in the foundation in advance, and during construction, they are arranged at standard timber nail distances to make a board wall, bolted to the studs, and then several panels of walls are connected to make a room.

The rooms were joined together to form the house, and then long planks were placed on top of them to form the ceiling structure.

After the house is completed, the inside of the bridge will be filled with a large amount of insulation material, and the outside will be pasted with insulation panels.

Of course, this is basically not visible, because the masonry and other materials on the exterior wall are all built from the foundation after the installation of the insulation board.

Therefore, in addition to its own weight, the house does not bear any structural weight, and the space is relatively wider.

Getting back to business...

Given the difficulties of logging and transporting, it is theoretically normal for timber to rise.

But such an obvious pitfall, Li Yaoyang can't treat it as an accident.

What's more, the rising raw materials are not only wood, concrete is also soaring, and the project of Xinhua Town is not only villas and small high-rises, but also buildings with more than 10 floors, which cannot be replaced by wood.

Let's just say, from an objective point of view, as the trees in the surrounding area are cut down, the logging industry of the ugly country is trying to move westward.

In other words, transporting wood from deep mountains and old forests requires a lot of processes and time, and the cost increase is reasonable.

First of all, after the timber is cut, it needs to be transported out of the deep mountains and old forests.

In some cases, primitive horse-drawn carriages were used, while in some sections, temporary railway lines were built specifically for them.

And along the way of these railway lines, it is inevitable to encounter some deep ravines or canyons.

At this time, it is necessary to open roads in the mountains and build bridges in the water.

And what they built was a wooden bridge.

The main reason why the bridge was built with wood instead of steel was because most of the bridges were built in forests, and the timber needed could be sourced locally.

Not only is it relatively easy to build, but it is also less expensive to build than steel.

But no matter how low the cost is, it also costs money, and daily maintenance also needs money, where does the money come from? Of course, it comes from the consumer, and the cost naturally rises.

Now is the golden age of the development of the logging industry, the birth of a large number of manufacturing industries, the acceleration of economic development, and the construction of all kinds of ugliness.

In New England, where the main logging area in the east, or Northeast, was the British pioneers who began to explore the continent's lush native forests after their own domestic timber supply collapsed.

The abundance of hardwoods in New England is particularly attractive, but after more than 100 years of logging, New England's native forests have not been cut like this.

As a result, the logging focus shifted from New England to Michigan, and to the west was Northern California, where millennial mahogany grows, a favorite building material.

In the villa area of Xinhua Town, the main wood used is mahogany, which has grown for hundreds or even thousands of years, and can reach up to 110 meters.

When a tree comes down, that's the length of the 100-meter race, and Bolt runs in 9.58 seconds.

And the maximum diameter can reach 8 meters, and if Yao Ming is flattened, it will take three of him, and the quality is very good.

Ordinary people standing in front of it are so small.

Due to the current backwardness of technology, loggers can only cut trees inch by inch with saws and axes.

A hundred-year-old mahogany takes six or seven lumberjacks and takes about a week to cut down, and sometimes they sleep directly in the tree for convenience.

The price of such a high-quality tree delivered to the customer is about 300,000 dollars, which is about 150 dollars per 1,000 board feet.

What's the concept? Many people can't afford to buy a plank after a month of hard work.

Of course, this is the price of high-quality wood, and the ordinary one is much cheaper, otherwise who can afford to buy a house.

In Xinhua Town, only the villa area is built with this kind of mahogany, and most of them are built of reinforced concrete.

And now, the price per thousand board feet has soared to 200 dollars, and the cost has risen by 30%, not to mention that Maffite wants to cry, Li Yaoyang also has to cry.

asked Maffet to make an appointment with the representative of the Almuen Logging Company to come out to meet, but they came, but they played haha all the way, and they didn't say a few words about the truth, but they ate several pieces of steak, and they were angry with Li Yaoyang.

"This guy can eat it."

Moffett was helpless:

"I made so many appointments, only the people from the Almun Company appeared, and the rest were probably bought by Kiel."

"It's the same with Amun, this man is here to give us a meal."

The Almuen Logging Company is the largest supplier of lumber to New Jersey, and their main logging camp is in New England.

The man who had just arrived, the company's representative in Atlantic City, was named Lucian, a rude John Bull.

"We can't get any news, how do we start?" Moffett said depressedly that for the time being, he had not yet retreated, and it would be difficult to say after a long time.

"Man, don't worry, you still have enough materials for two months, I'll find a way."

"Okay, hold on."

"I know what I know."

Saying goodbye to Maffite and returning to the study, Li Yaoyang was far from being as relaxed as he said, frowning, cigarette after cigarette, and the room was about to be lit.

Xiaohong hurriedly came in and opened the window, found two newspapers and fanned them out.

"Brother Yang, what's wrong with you?" Seeing that he frowned, Xiaohong couldn't help asking.

"It's nothing, it's just a little annoying, don't smoke it!" As he spoke, he snuffed out his cigarette and fanned himself out.

"Go and call Fat Dun'er."

"Okay."

Fat Dun'er rushed over from the laundry room and took some time.

"Brother Yang~"

"Well, Kiel's revenge begins."

"It's finally here, I've been waiting for a long time." Fat Dun'er was not only not in a hurry, but very excited.

"What has Tony Jackson been up to lately?"

"I'm not busy with anything, singing and singing every night, eating and drinking with the parliamentarians."

"Hmm... Keep an eye on it and wait for my news. ”

"Don't worry, Brother Yang, I promise to do it seamlessly."

"Okay, you go get busy."

Fat Dun'er was just about to turn around, and remembered something:

"By the way, Brother Yang, Lonnie is back!"

"Huh? Didn't he recuperate in Chicago? ”

"Okay, almost, but he seems to have come back alone, and now he lives in our hotel, and he is getting along with a young lady."
