Rebirth 09: Buying a house with a baby UP owner

Yun Shanshan took a few photos and put them in Zhong Meihui's mailbox. In addition to the daily activities of the studio, it was the backyard of the crooked building. Some saplings were transplanted in this yard before. There used to be most of the open space, but now it has been occupied by things. The piles were full. Zhong Meihui took a closer look and found that these messy things were actually tree roots.

"Shanshan, what's going on with those tree roots? Did my dad get them?" When Zhong Meihui saw these tree roots, the first thing she thought of was her father. The new house in her hometown has been completed, and she will definitely do it when she moves. Clear out a lot of useless and useless things.

If he threw all these things into Zhong Meihui's yard, she would throw them all out to prevent these messy things from taking up her place.

"Those tree roots were brought back by Xu Shuimiao, and now the whole yard is almost full." Yun Shanshan thinks these tree roots are unsightly. They are fine when they are small in number, but when they are piled up in large numbers, they look like a mess. pile of firewood.

Knowing the relationship between Xu Shuimiao and the Chu family, she naturally did not dare to complain directly to the bosses, so she used a very obscure method to get Zhong Meihui to take the initiative to ask about these tree roots.

"Xu Shuimiao brought it back? Did he say what the roots are made of and what he plans to use them for?" Zhong Meihui was full of doubts, but Xu Shuimiao has been making acquisitions in mountainous areas recently, and the signal is intermittent, making it difficult for even Zhong Meihui to When she found her the first time, she could only want to get some information from Yun Shanshan and make some judgments first.

"Brother Xu only said that these things are good things, and did not say anything very specific, but it has been raining here recently. If these wood are still useful, we should find a dry place to store them, otherwise it will rain again and again. These roots must rot."

Yun Shanshan felt that these tree roots would definitely become moldy in such a humid environment. Large mushrooms would then grow, which would be extremely difficult to clean and would also damage the structure of the tree roots themselves.

Zhong Meihui also felt that this storage method was inappropriate. She sent Xu Shuimiao a message and asked him to call her back after seeing it.

Two hours later, Xu Shuimiao finally called. His voice sounded hoarse, as if he had a bad cold.

"Is your health okay? How is the current acquisition progress? If you are not in good health, just leave it to the big head and the others. You don't have to do everything yourself."

Zhong Meihui knew that Xu Shuimiao was working hard. During this period, Datou and Zhong Laifu were doing pure manual labor, but Xu Shuimiao was doing dual physical and mental work, and was much more tired than the two of them.

"I'm fine. It's just that I've caught colds repeatedly in the past few days. I'll be fine after taking medicine for a few days. Everything went well with the purchase. Now the villagers are digging the roots of the Zhennan wood that were paid tribute hundreds of years ago. One ton of roots includes shipping costs. It only costs 1 yuan to transport it to our yard, which is much cheaper than the price we paid for the wood before."

Xu Shuimiao was very excited when he talked about this. During this time, they traveled over the mountains and ridges to find new sources of goods. They accidentally discovered this area that had been cut down long ago. The roots of these trees were buried deep underneath, and they had experienced wildfires. baptisms, many people won’t notice their existence at all.

Even Xu Shuimiao found them buried in a large area of ​​fallen leaves. At that time, the villagers were afraid that digging out a large number of these ancient tree roots would destroy the original ecological structure and cause landslides.

Xu Shuimiao promised that in addition to paying for the tree roots, he would also transport a batch of saplings to re-cover the hillside with vegetation, and these villagers were willing to take action.

Xu Shuimiao is true to his word on this matter. Now they are using two-way transportation. How many tons of tree roots are transported out will be transported in as many tons of saplings. Moreover, these saplings are trees that have grown for more than three years and are easy to survive. They also help with planting. The villagers of the tree can also receive wages.

Now the villagers in the village have a good relationship with them, and some people have also provided other sources of wood, allowing Xu Shuimiao's business to grow.

"The roots of Zhennanmu? Are they valuable? These things should be difficult to make into furniture." Zhong Meihui feels that although the roots of Zhennanmu are also golden nanmu, the whole piece of material is so intertwined that it cannot be made into furniture at all. Can be made into ornaments or other decorations.

However, this kind of material is difficult to polish by machine and can only be processed by hand. Ordinary workers do not have such skills at all, so they can only find root carving masters to process it, and finally sell it through auction.

Zhong Meihui has never been in contact with these masters, but she knows that the price of hiring them is extremely high, and it is difficult to find a buyer for the finished product. It only depends on luck.

Instead of wasting time on these things, it is better to store more normal wood so that it can be sold externally in the future.

"Sister-in-law Si, the value of these roots is much higher than you think, and we don't need to go to those root carving masters. They will find us first for their own creations, and we can set whatever price we want."

Xu Shuimiao knows that the supply and demand market for tree roots is very small, with few buyers and even fewer sellers. Many masters often spend several years looking for a suitable piece of tree root.

The tree roots they currently store are close to 30 tons. Naturally, it is impossible for all of them to be turned into works of art such as root carvings. But as long as one-tenth of them are chosen by these masters, the money they make can be the same as purchasing wood. It can also be sent to Boss Jiang's factory for processing as leftovers, at least to make bead bracelets and the like.

Xu Shuimiao used to work as a reporter and had some knowledge of the intermediaries that help root carving masters find wood. When the price of wood rises, they can sell the roots through these intermediaries for money.

"Since you think there is no problem with this matter, then do it. I can definitely trust you when it comes to choosing wood."

Zhong Meihui thought for a while and felt that the price of 1200 yuan was not a loss at all. The yard would not be demolished in a few years anyway, so it would be better to make the best use of it now.

"But rain is indeed a problem as Shanshan mentioned before, and it is unsafe to pile up so many tree roots here and are easy to be stolen. How about we heighten the wall, add a roof on top, and turn it into a warehouse."

Xu Shuimiao knew that people in the village may not understand the value of golden nanmu, but he also knew that these things could be exchanged for money. He had discovered that the roots of the tree were missing before, but he did not make it public for fear of attracting revenge from others. After all, They don't live in the studio, and it would be too easy to destroy these things with a fire.

But preventive work must start now, otherwise, when the price of wood rises, everything they have here will be stolen.

"Okay, then we will set up a root carving art wood factory, and then apply to convert the yard into a warehouse factory in the name of the wood factory."
