Skilled in managing a house

Under the unanimous request of the little girl, Zhang Yu and Yang Ying were quite helpless and simply agreed half-heartedly.

In fact, when she just saw Zhang Yu and Fang Tong, Yang Ying couldn't bear it. After all, they were all a family, so it was awkward.

After Yang Ying was dealt with, the sky became brighter. Zhang Yu had to go to Bao Jiayin's place to meet up, so he asked for leave from the little girl.

The little girl is now beautiful. Although she doesn't want Zhang Yu to leave, she also knows that Zhang Yu is going to do business, so she nods in agreement and tells Zhang Yu to go back early.

Zhang Yu greeted the driver and drove away in a Mercedes-Benz. After having breakfast on the way, it was almost half past eight when we arrived at Xianghai Garden.

Bao Jiayin, Zhan Shuaifei, Zhan Shuaiteng, and Xu Xiaomin were waiting downstairs. When they met, the three of them greeted in unison, "Zhenren Zhang!"

Zhang Yu said politely: "You call it that in Taoist temples, but don't call it that outside. Especially when you go to gamble on wood, don't call it that."

"No problem." "No problem.".

The location of the wood gambling is in Nanhai Town, Zhennan District. It takes more than three hours to drive there. Zhang Yu and Bao Jiayin took one car, and the three members of the Zhan family took one car.

When we arrived in town, it was already twelve o'clock in the afternoon.

The climate in Nanhai Town is particularly good, and it looks very prosperous, much more than Guangming Town.

The hotels and restaurants in the town are quite large and there are many buildings, which are no less than those in the urban area.

They first found a hotel and prepared to have a meal before heading to the forest farm.

Park the car in the parking lot and enter the hotel together. In the hotel lobby, several people were chatting, and one of them said: "The Qiao family's vision is really vicious, and they actually bet on another lightning-struck peach tree. I don't know what that is in their house." The vision is too accurate."

"Really?" someone asked immediately.

"That can still be a lie. Just two days ago, it rained in the town, and a lightning struck a peach tree, which happened to be the one the Qiao family raised here. The tree is not dead yet. Everyone from the Qiao family is here today, ready to Cut the wood and transport it away," the man from before said.

"This is not new. The Qiao family is known as the King of Wood. What's new about betting on thunder splitting wood?" Another person said.

Zhang Yu was stunned when he heard their conversation. He had told Zhan Shuaifei before about betting on wood, but the bet was on whether the wood was rotten. He had never heard that he could bet on thunder to split the wood.

His curiosity aroused and he wanted to ask, but before he could pass by, Zhan Shuaiteng said hello over there, "Brother Xiong, are you here early?"

"Shuai Teng, you are here too." A big man in his forties shouted with a grin.

"How can we not come here today? What are you talking about?" Zhan Shuaiteng said as he walked over.

Zhang Yu and others also followed. Zhan Shuaifei and Xu Xiaomin were no strangers to them and greeted each other.

The introduction to Zhang Yu and Bao Jiayin is for friends who are new to the industry, come and take a look.

Then, the man named Xiong Zhenyue said: "We were just chatting about another lightning-cracked tree in Qiao's family, and this time, it happened again."

"This Qiao family is really powerful." Zhan Shuaifei immediately said with envy.

"He has a lot of capital and a good vision. We can't envy him for this kind of thing. Otherwise, how can he be the king of wood?" Although Xiong Zhenyue said this, he could not hide his envy.

Zhang Yu asked curiously: "How do you bet on thunder splitting wood? I just heard Zhan Shuaifei say before that the bet is whether the wood has rotten heart. Why are you betting on thunder splitting wood now?"

Without anyone else answering, Zhan Shuaifei said: "It's not something ordinary people can afford to bet on. The price of the tree is expensive, and there is a special backlog of funds. This lightning can strike at any time. Once it fails to strike, the loss will be But it’s big.”

"Then how exactly do you want to bet?" Zhang Yu asked again.

"The betting method is very simple, that is, each tree generally has a price tag. Some trees on the outside are relatively cheap and are normal bets. The further you go to the top of the mountain, the more expensive the price becomes. Generally speaking, the trees on the top of the mountain are the most expensive. Expensive, because the terrain is high and easy to be struck by lightning. This kind of tree needs to be raised. If one day it is struck by lightning, you will make a lot of money. But having said that, once the tree is not struck by lightning, the money will be lost. The pressure is there. If it is cut directly, the price is there, no matter whether it is bad or not, you will definitely lose money." Zhan Shuaifei said seriously.

After hearing this, Zhang Yu understood what was going on.

Everyone knows that thunder-chopped wood is a good thing, so it is naturally valuable. But the problem is that being struck by lightning is not something that can be easily achieved. The chance is very low.

Although Zhang Yu is proficient in lightning techniques and can also draw thunder, lightning can't just split a tree and it will work. The most basic condition is to ensure that the tree will not die after being struck by lightning.

Everyone came to eat and went to the forest farm after eating. Zhang Yu simply acted as a host and invited everyone to eat together. During the dinner, he had to ask more about gambling on wood, especially the wood king.

In Zhan Shuaifei's words, the Wood King Qiao family is definitely the leading timber tycoon in the country. The industry involves wholesale and retail of raw materials and wholesale and retail of finished products.

Every year, the Qiao family sends people to participate in any forest farm where wood bets are held at home and abroad. The accuracy of his vision is far better than anyone else. Therefore, it is called the King of Wood.

There was still wood betting in the afternoon. Everyone did not drink. After finishing the meal, they went to the forest farm together.

The forest farm is a large mountain on the outskirts of the town, with rolling hills and thick green trees. There are big trees and small trees that were planted later. The surrounding area of ​​the mountain is fenced off, and there are people patrolling it to prevent people from going up to the mountain to cut down trees secretly.

When everyone came to the mountain pass, there were many cars parked nearby. After they got off the car, they walked in together.

During the previous meal, Zhan Shuaifei introduced that the forest farm is divided into more than ten areas. In addition to being distinguished by various trees, some are also distinguished by thickness.

It is said that it takes ten years to educate a tree and a hundred years to educate a person. In fact, many trees are not very strong even if they take ten years.

The handicap for betting on wood will last for half a month, and we will look at it later. No one is in a hurry to make a choice right away. Now they all want to go up and take a look at the thunder-cleaved tree. It is said that the thunder-cleaved tree contains spiritual energy. After getting close, they might be able to get some luck.

Along the way up the mountain, the breath of nature hits your face, which is more refreshing than the hustle and bustle of the city.

There was nothing special at the bottom. As he approached the top of the mountain, Zhang Yu discovered something was different.

The trees are much thicker than those below, and many of them have guardrails around them. On the guardrail, number plates are nailed, such as the big tree in front of us, the number on it is "22".

In addition to the number plate, there are four words "No Entry" written on it, and a red cloth is hung on the tree.

Seeing this, Zhang Yu asked curiously: "What's going on?"

"As long as there are guardrails and numbers on the trees, they have been bought and raised here, waiting to be struck by lightning." Zhan Shuaifei immediately introduced.

"Waiting to be struck by lightning." Zhang Yu smiled faintly and asked: "What does hanging a piece of red cloth mean?"
