Rebirth in 1970: I work as an educated youth in a forest farm

As a visitor, no matter whether the business is successful or not, if someone comes from afar, Sheng Xiping will always do his part as a landlord and treat them to a meal.

The three of them didn't go anywhere else. They ordered four dishes and a bottle of wine at the restaurant in front of the station, and chatted while eating and drinking.

"Comrade Sheng, it's not easy for us to come this far. I wonder how much wood you can get for us? What's the price?"

After three glasses of wine, Director Zhang couldn't wait to ask about the business.

"Director Zhang, I think you also know how scarce wood is now.

Let’s just say that our hotel in Songjianghe Town has many regular guests who come from various places to transport wood.

If I go to those hotels now and shout, I can get wood. No matter how high the price is, there will be plenty of people rushing to get it. "

Sheng Xiping did not directly answer Director Zhang's words, but played with the wine glass in his hand and spoke slowly.

"Yes, yes, we believe this.

Nowadays, there is a shortage of industrial raw materials such as coal, steel, and wood across the country.

If we hadn't known that Brother Sheng had this ability, we wouldn't have been able to come all the way here.

Brother, let’s just say this, as long as you help facilitate this order, we will definitely benefit from my brother. "

Director Zhang and Hou Yashuang exchanged glances and said quickly.

They were mentally prepared before coming. In a business like this, the middleman must be given certain benefits. Otherwise, why would they help you?

Timber is not an ordinary material and requires special permission to be transported.

Without certain strength, no matter how much money you have, you can't transport the wood back.

Sheng Xiping nodded. It's not that he is stingy. For some things, you have to be a villain before being a gentleman. It's better to speak openly than to argue afterwards.

"Okay, then thank Brother Hou and Director Zhang for their understanding.

Everyone has their own difficulties. If I can help, I will try my best to help you. I will definitely not ask you to come here in vain. "

When Hou Yashuang saw this situation, he quickly poured wine for Sheng Xiping and toasted to him.

"Come on, Brother Sheng, let's have a drink. We had a good chat when we were in Shanghai. I've always felt that you Northeasterners are very down-to-earth.

I took the liberty to write to you this time. I didn’t expect you to really help us. I have to thank you. "

As he spoke, he clinked glasses with Sheng Xiping.

Hou Yashuang still speaks with a southern accent, but the way he speaks is as close to a Northeastern person as possible, also to build closer relationships.

I have to say that Northeastern dialect is actually quite magical. Hou Yashuang lived with Sheng Xiping and Chen Weimin for more than a month, and he really became infected.

Sheng Xiping found Hou Yashuang's words particularly interesting and understood what he was thinking.

"Brother Hou, since I dare to let you come, I definitely can't ask you to go back empty-handed.

Let's do this, you first make a list for me with the type, diameter, and quantity of wood you want.

I'll find someone to check the price later, and then I'll see how much I can allocate.

This matter cannot be settled in three or two sentences. You should stay in the hotel for a few days first. Don't rush. "

It's not that Sheng Xiping doesn't have the ability. Some things shouldn't be done too quickly, otherwise people will think you haven't done enough.

Others who come to the Northeast and stay for a month or two may not be able to get things done. Let Hou Yashuang and the others wait three to five days longer without making any mistakes.

Hou Yashuang also understood this truth, so they didn't ask any more questions.

They just took out their notebooks and while discussing with Sheng Xiping, they wrote down the type and quantity of wood they wanted.

The Northeast is rich in wood, including walnut catalpa, red pine, manchurian ash, yellow pineapple, Scotch pine, fish-scale pine, oak, elm, basswood, colored wood, etc.

The price of each type of wood varies greatly depending on its length and diameter. It is impossible to quote a price with just one mouthful.

That's why Sheng Xiping said to let Hou Yashuang and others write the order first, and he would find someone to check the price.

"Brother Hou, don't worry. Regarding the price, I will definitely put in more good words for you, and I will try my best to lower the price.

Why don't you come all the way here? No matter what, you have to make some money. "

Sheng Xiping had been in the timber business in his previous life and was very good at it.

At present, the average price of lumber allocated within the plan is about 110 yuan per cubic meter.

Of course, this is just the average price, which includes small-diameter wood, such as pit wood, purlins, electric posts, etc., as well as some paper-making materials, which are all low-priced.

Good wood such as red pine, manchurian ash, oak, etc., with a diameter of more than 40 centimeters, will cost upwards of three to four hundred yuan per cubic meter.

Non-traditional materials will basically cost about three times the price.

Even so, there is a price but no market. It is difficult to buy it. There is no way. Even if the price is increased, you can't buy it.

Those old lumber customers from the south dig out holes in the door to find connections, buy back the lumber at high prices, and make a lot of money once they sell it.

Therefore, the water in this industry is very deep.

"Okay, then I'll leave it all to Brother Sheng. Don't worry, after buying this batch of wood, I will definitely not forget it."

Sheng Xiping had already said this, what else did Hou Yashuang and the others not understand? So he nodded immediately and promised benefits.

Sheng Xiping, Hou Yashuang and Director Zhang drank and ate happily. After they were full, the two went back to the hotel to rest, while Sheng Xiping went back to his father-in-law's house to rest.

The next day, Sheng Xiping found Zhao Guangning and arranged all the relevant matters. Then he took a car back to the forest farm to find Zheng Xianyong and get the forest farm done.

A few days later, all the wood was ready at the forest farm. Sheng Xiping called the Zhanqian Hotel and asked Hou Yashuang and the others to pay an 80% deposit first as agreed.

As soon as the deposit arrives in the forest farm's public account, the truck will be loaded immediately.

Hou Yashuang did not dare to neglect, and made arrangements immediately. Within two days, the money arrived, and the forestry farm arranged a truck to transport the wood to the Songjianghe lumber yard.

Sheng Xiping followed the car down and arranged the shipment. He had been busy for four or five days before shipping all the ten car skins and lumber that Hou Yashuang and the others wanted.

The remaining 20% ​​of the payment was given to Sheng Xiping in cash.

At the same time, Director Zhang also stuffed another bag into Sheng Xiping's pocket.

"Oh, Comrade Sheng, thank you so much this time. I didn't expect Comrade Sheng to be so powerful.

The lumber for ten carriages was shipped easily, and the price given to us was very fair and reasonable. Our leader said that we must thank Comrade Sheng.

Here are two cigarettes and two bottles of wine. Be careful, Comrade Sheng must accept them. "

Director Zhang winked at Sheng Xiping, everyone understood what he meant.

"Then thank you very much, Director Zhang, for your hospitality. Director Zhang is welcome to come here often. No matter when you come to our place, you must tell me and treat me well."

Sheng Xiping was not polite and took the bag handed to him.

After seeing off Director Zhang and the others, Sheng Xiping carried two big bags and first went to find Zhao Guangning, then returned to the forest farm by car, and then went to see Zheng Xianyong before returning home.

After working hard for only half a month, I didn't put in much effort. I just ran errands and earned more than ten thousand yuan. This is much faster than going to the mountains to hunt for money.
