Chapter 550
Chapter 550
Yang Yong ignored the boss Meng Haisheng. He was not as popular as the former mayor Yu Guangwen.
"This is Boss Meng. He wants to contract your forest."
Yang Yong looked at the tender Meng Haisheng in front of him. To be honest, he was really exhausted.
Even if he came with Yu Guangwen, Yang Yong felt that he would not really contract his own forest.
But Yu Guangwen would not neglect everyone.
So Yang Yong invited everyone to the house and talked about contracting while warming himself by the fire.
"Boss Yang, why do you suddenly want to contract out the profitable forest?"
"To be honest, I have made some money in the timber business over the years. I have a son and a daughter who are both good at studying. They are arguing about going abroad. Not long ago, my wife took them abroad. I stayed to deal with the family property."
"At first, I thought I could handle it in a day or half a month, but who would have thought that I would be stuck in subcontracting the forest."
Yang Yong was also helpless when he mentioned this matter.
Subcontracting the forest is easy, but also difficult.
Finding the right person is just a matter of signing a contract. If you can't find the right person, you don't know how much time you have to waste to subcontract it.
Meng Haisheng believed the reason given by Yang Yong. Many rich people are going abroad now.
In the eyes of ordinary people today, life abroad is like heaven.
"Your forest farm has been subcontracted for so many days and has not been transferred out. I guess in addition to the price problem, there are also problems with your village."
Yu Guangwen directly pointed out the problem of Yang Yong.
The price offered by Yang Yong is not expensive. If there is no problem at all, it would have been contracted out long ago. How could it be dragged on? There must be additional conditions.
Yang Yong, who was hit in the vitals, smiled.
"The head of our village is my brother-in-law. He wants to be the second lumberjack. If I don't agree, my bastard brother-in-law will make trouble for me."
"You see, I am in a hurry to go abroad now, and I also want to transfer the forest farm to someone else as soon as possible, so I agreed to my brother-in-law."
Meng Haisheng and Ren Heming exchanged glances with each other. They had discussed this matter a long time ago.
Qingchao Village is not big. The head of the wood is Zou Ziqiang, a native of Qingchao Village, and has only more than 100 lumberjacks.
With so few people, he can't even think about being the second lumberjack, and he can't suppress other head lumberjacks at all.
The second lumberjack not only has to negotiate the price of wood with outsiders, but also the wood on the mountain is under his control.
A good second lumberjack directly affects the development of the entire forest farm.
"Boss Yang, this is easy to talk about. As long as I test Zou, I will agree to this condition if he can pass it. If he doesn't agree, there is nothing to talk about."
Yang Yong heard Meng Haisheng say this and immediately went to call Zou Ziqiang.
Zou Ziqiang looked like he was in his 30s, with dark skin, long and strong, and spoke in a rough voice. He looked like a rough man.
Recently, Zou Ziqiang had seen several waves of people who came to Yang Yong to discuss contracting the forest. Basically, when they heard that he was asked to be the second cabinet, they either lowered the price or simply didn't want to contract.
Zou Ziqiang had quarreled with Yang Yong for this matter, but no matter how they quarreled, Zou Ziqiang just didn't give in. Yang Yong had no tricks for his extremely persistent brother-in-law.
"Zou, I just want to ask you one thing. If you were the second cabinet, what would be the first thing you did?"
Meng Haisheng looked at Zou Ziqiang and didn't beat around the bush, and asked the question in his mind directly.
"Plant trees."
Zou Ziqiang answered so neatly that everyone else turned to look at him.
The word "planting trees" was so unfamiliar.
Not to mention other places, outside Yang Yong's house, there is a tree every three or five steps in the whole village, and outside the village, there are towering trees all over the mountains.
With such a vast forest, why does Zou Ziqiang need to plant trees?
"Boss Zou, do you know how many years it takes for a poplar tree to be used as timber?"
"At least 20 years. If it is a bad year, it may be extended, but my contract period is only 40 years in total, which means that the trees I plant in the next 20 years will be cut down before I cut them down."
"If you calculate it this way, I will lose a lot of money."
Meng Haisheng made a very helpless expression.
There is no awareness of protecting forests at present. In everyone's eyes, large tracts of deep mountains and old forests can never be cut down.
Who would have the leisure to plant trees?
But what everyone didn’t know was that by the end of the 1990s, the country would introduce a series of policies to prevent excessive logging.
What everyone didn’t know even more was that there would be quick-growing poplars, which would allow poplars to be cut down in 10 years.If it is planted in this fertile land, ten years is enough for the poplar to grow.
Meng Haisheng naturally cannot tell everyone this information.
He also asked Zou Ziqiang with interest about his plan to plant trees.
"Although it seems that you have contracted for 40 years, the trees planted in the later period cannot be cut down, but after 40 years, you can continue to contract and continue to plant trees."
"The mountains and forests contracted by others may not show anything in one or two years, but in 10 or 20 years, they have cut down all the big trees, and the small trees cannot grow up, and finally they can only guard an empty mountain."
Meng Haisheng nodded fiercely. Zou Ziqiang's theory is still very good.
"Ziqiang, stop talking nonsense. Such a large mountain will not be cut down in 20 years, let alone 20 years."
"Don't you think about how long it will take you to cut down a big tree."
Yang Yong waved his hand, feeling that Zou Ziqiang was worrying about nothing, and he was just looking for things to do.
"Boss Yang, society is developing. Now you see that felling a tree is very slow. Wait a few years, when everyone uses machines to cut down trees, you will find that it is not difficult to cut down and transport a big tree."
Said Meng Haisheng and looked at Zou Ziqiang again.
"Boss Zou, based on your idea of planting trees, I can give you the third cabinet. Your personality is too straightforward and you are not suitable for the second cabinet."
Zou Ziqiang thought that this matter would fail again today, but when he heard Meng Hai say that he could give him the second cabinet, his eyes lit up immediately.
"Boss Meng, do you mean that I can be the third cabinet and then lead the villagers to plant trees?"
"Yes, if you lead people to plant trees, I will also give you another salary."
Generally, logging is done in winter. After winter, many forest farms no longer need so many lumberjacks, leaving only one wood boss in the forest farm.
If Meng Haisheng can still give them a job at this time, Zou Ziqiang will naturally be very willing.
"Okay, Boss Meng, I will follow you from now on."
"Yang Yong, hurry up and get the transfer contract. You will never meet someone as good as Boss Meng again."
