Chapter 217: The Matter of Wood
Bai Lu instructed Zhou Yidan and the three women to stay in the house and not to go out. He and Liu Wenqing went to the appointment.
Taxis in Heihe are much cheaper than those in Beicheng, and they cost six yuan to get from hotels to restaurants.
The name of this hotel is a spell with that of a five-star hotel, with two floors, called the International Hotel, which specializes in Russian cuisine.
The decoration is very good, there are many guests, and it is similar to the Russian hotel in the afternoon, with many foreigners sitting.
The two people selling wood were waiting at the door, one was named Lu Ji and the other was Liu Xing, who were thirty-six or seven years old, and they were both a little fat.
After seeing Liu Wenqing, the two brothers' eyes narrowed together, smiled and bloomed, and they came up to shake hands. As for Bai Lu, he thought it was a follower and was directly ignored.
Liu Wenqing didn't explain, and sat down opposite them in a train seat. The two were very enthusiastic and recommended the signature dishes of this restaurant. Without it, nothing more than caviar and vodka.
The two asked for a bottle of vodka made in Poland, and gave Liu Wenqing and Bai Lu full of courtesy. Bai Lu glanced at it, sixty-five degrees, these two guys are really talented.
Liu Wenqing said that he would not drink. Lu Ji smiled: "To be able to do such a big deal, how can you not drink, it's too modest." This guy stared at Liu Wenqing brightly as he spoke, his eyes full of desire. The other person, Liu Xing, was also like this, looking at Liu Wenqing with a smile.
However, when we first met, it was not good to show too many things, so I would say polite words first, introduce each other, and wait for the dishes to be served, Lu Ji raised his glass: "Do it first for respect." Then urged Liu Wenqing to drink.
Liu Wenqing couldn't shirk it, and took a small sip. Lu Ji said: "What kind of business is this? . ”
The hotel uses a small square cup, about less than one or two wines, one dry in one mouthful, very tricky. Liu Wenqing shook his head and didn't drink: "We're here to talk about business, and if you get me drunk, how can you talk about business?"
The two brothers glanced at each other, but they didn't expect the little lady to be quite shrewd, so they continued to persuade wine in the name of talking about business, Lu Ji smiled: "It's too late to talk tomorrow, there is nothing to do in this place." There is time to talk about business. ”
Liu Wenqing said: "Mr. Lu said that the wood has arrived?"
"It's here. In the afternoon, we went to see it, it was all logs, Miss Liu had gathered the funds, right? I'll tell you. Heihe's timber market is famous throughout the country. A lot of the wood in the northern city was sent from here. ”
Liu Wenqing nodded: "It's troublesome for the two of you." ”
"What's the trouble? It's an honor to serve a beautiful woman. Liu Xing interjected, and then said: "Miss Liu rarely comes to Heihe. We are half landlords, how to entertain well, to sing for a while, although the song room here is not as good as Beicheng, but it is not bad, the song is quite complete. ”
Liu Wenqing was reluctant to talk about these things, and asked: "How many square meters of wood are there?" ”
Lu Ji didn't answer the question immediately, but asked, "I don't know how much money Miss Lu Daoliu has prepared?"
"What?" asked Liu Wenqing.
"That's the case, this batch goes in a large amount, not only ours, but also other people's, but what, the owner and I are very familiar, if Miss Liu's price is moderate, you can let my friend sell the goods to you, everyone is convenient;
Liu Wenqing frowned: "What do I want so much wood for?"
"If you want to, we'll talk about it tomorrow, tonight's task is to drink, come, touch it. ”
Lu Ji and Liu Xing looked at Bai Lu very eyesore, if there was no such kid, as long as Liu Wenqing was poured down, they might be able to get this attractive body. If Liu Wenqing was a little less vigilant and bought wood according to their ideas, he would definitely make a lot of money this time.
Liu Wenqing just didn't drink, and when he saw that the two of them didn't talk about wood, he said: "It's late, I have to go back to rest, if there is anything, I'll talk about it tomorrow." He got up and left.
Lu Ji and Liu Xing originally wanted to stop them, but when they saw Bai Lu staring at them with a smile, they got up with a smile and sent them to the door: "Have a good rest, see you tomorrow." ”
Waiting for Bai Lu and Liu Wenqing to leave, the two of them sat back in their seats, thinking about things with dark faces. After a while, Liu Xing asked, "What if she refuses to buy our wood?"
Lu Ji smiled: "What do you say?" The two chatted while drinking, and from time to time there was a yin and lewd laughter.
At this time, Bai Lu and Liu Wenqing were in the taxi, and Liu Wenqing said: "How do I feel that something is wrong with them, I didn't say that when I was in Beicheng." "He was afraid that Bai Lu would think that he was incapable and would not be able to do things.
Bai Lu knew what she was worried about, and said with a smile: "Manager Liu, I'm optimistic about you." ”
Liu Wenqing blushed rarely: "You don't need to look at it, I'm already fine." ”
Back at the hotel, the three women were fighting the landlord, Liu Wenqing went to take a bath, and after coming out, the four of them played upgrades.
Bai Lu was not worried about the four women, so he stayed in the living room to watch TV.
They opened two rooms, one was a large suite for four women, and Bai Lu lived in the standard room next door.
Four women play poker behind Bai Lu, who holds the remote control and presses it back and forth, and the TV screen beats at a speed of one station per second. Zhou Yidan sat across the TV and asked loudly, "What are you doing?"
Bai Lu sighed very emotionally: "Small cities just can't do it, the advertisements are not good-looking, or the advertisements in Beichengtai are good-looking." ”
Zhou Yidan didn't know what to say, and just wanted to scold him for his nerves, the phone rang on Bailu, and He Shanqing asked him happily: "Did you watch the news?"
"Why do you watch the news?"
"Such a big thing, you don't know what to do?"
"What do I know?"
He Shanqing's good mood was completely disturbed by this bastard: "You hurry up and die." "Hang up.
Bai Lu shook his head and put down the phone: "It's pitiful, this kid is stupid." "Continue to use the remote control to look for advertisements.
At nine o'clock in the morning the next day, Bai Lu took four women to see the wood together.
The timber market is in the suburbs, in the economic development zone, occupying the original wood storage and processing plant, anyway, a large area, convenient transportation, cars and trains.
Early in the morning, Lu Ji called to pick up Liu Wenqing, but was refused. Liu Wenqing wants to come to the address, make an appointment, and rush over by himself. So, at half past nine, the five of them met with Lu Ji and Liu Xing at the gate of the timber trading center.
Seeing that there were three more women, the two brothers were stunned for a moment, and Lu Ji smiled and asked, "Are you here to travel?"
Liu Wenqing smiled and said yes, and then asked, "Is the wood in it?"
If the formalities have not been completed, the wood that arrived yesterday should be at the customs at this time.
Lu Ji smiled: "Where, the wood is not here, the wood that enters here, and then comes out, it costs money." When he was talking, he kept looking at Liu Wenqing, and only took the time to look at the others, and when he saw that everyone was empty-handed, he asked, "Didn't you bring any money? ”
"Do you have to use cash?
"I can do it, Lao Maozi can't do it, people want cash to buy things. "And for good reason.
"But our bank, do you want to withdraw hundreds of thousands at once?"
"It's okay, I have acquaintances, just spend a little more fees. ”
"I'd like to see the wood first. Liu Wenqing said.
Lu Ji smiled: "Then look at the wood first." He led the people eastward.
Bai Lu was worried about Shasha's injured leg, so he carried her on his back, and Shasha put his arms around his neck and asked, "Have you carried anyone else?"
A few hundred meters to the east, there is a yard on the right side of the road, in which a lot of wood is piled up. Liu Xing went over to say hello to the janitor, and everyone went in together.
The yard is open-air, so you don't have to worry about rain in winter.
They led the white road to a pile of wood and stopped, pointed to it, and said, "That's it, let's see." ”
Dozens of long logs are piled up into a stack, there are a total of more than ten or twenty stacks, all of which are pine, one end is slightly thicker and the other end is slightly thinner, and basically nothing has been processed.
Liu Wenqing went to look at the wood, but she didn't understand it, so she looked at it, and came back to Bai Lu and said, "Go out of the city to find a carpenter?"
Bai Lu shook his head and walked over with a smile, he didn't know about other woods, but he was very familiar with the sylvestris pine.
He is familiar with several kinds of wood, poplar, aspen, pine and so on, for only one reason, he has seen it before, and he has studied it carefully.
Desert sand control is mostly planted with pine and poplar trees. These trees are resistant to construction, tossing, cold and drought.
Of course, if we talk about desertification control, it is not just a matter of planting saplings, but rather taking it step by step, which is a very troublesome and arduous project, and it will take at least 30 years to achieve some results. These kinds of trees are indispensable for the most sand fixation.
He didn't reach out to touch it, but only circled around a few stacks of wood, and came back and asked Lu Ji, "These pieces of wood cost eight hundred?"
He knows about Pinus sylvestris, but not about the price, so he asks.
"Yes. While Lu Ji was speaking, Liu Xing walked inside. Bai Lu's eyes were sharp, and he saw a fat man in a military coat walking towards them.
Bai Lu asked again: "How much is the best sylvestris pine?"
"The best one? Not the best one is two or three thousand, Beicheng is more expensive, and good wood is priceless. Lu Ji was telling the truth.
"Oh. Bai Lu pointed to the pile of wood and said, "If you buy them all, how much will it cost?"
Lu Ji glanced at it: "About 600,000." ”
"600,000 can buy so much wood?"
Lu Ji heard that something was wrong and asked Liu Wenqing: "Who is the boss of the two of you?"
At this time, Liu walked back and nodded at Lu Ji, and Lu Ji said again: "Look at you, you look like you are always buying wood, these woods are here, and they can't deceive you, let's go and get the money, 600,000, all of which are for you." ”
Bai Lu smiled: "What about poplar? doesn't it mean that there is poplar?"
Lu Ji said: "No, now it's all wood." ”
At this time, the fat man in the military coat came over and said: "It's all good wood, you can use it when you buy it, and it will definitely not be deformed." ”
Lu Ji said thank you to the fat man, walked up to Liu Wenqing and said, "Take the money." "There was still fire in my eyes.
Bai Lu smiled: "Let's go, go get the money." ”
Lu Ji really had some way, took them into a bank, and an hour later, Bai Lu took out 600,000 cash.
Walking back with the money, Lu Ji said: "The wood is really good, and the CIF price is almost 800, which means that there is no money." ”
They walked out of the bank, and Liu Xing dragged behind and stayed in the bank. (To be continued......)
