Chapter 181 Timber Merchant

When we arrived at the agency, the landlord and the agent were already waiting there. The agency should have started work at nine o'clock, but it was only a little after nine-thirty now. There was a late salesperson who happened to enter the company with Wu Fei and the others.

In addition to the sales members, there is one customer in the company. He should be the owner of the house that Wu Fei and the others want to buy.

In fact, it is very easy to distinguish between sales and customers in intermediary companies. Most salesmen wear suits and ties for men, and women wear small suits and short skirts, or else they wear suits and trousers.

"Boss Wu, you are here, you came very quickly. The landlord is already waiting." Seeing Wu Fei and Kang Liu come in, the sales consultant who received Wu Fei and the others yesterday came over to greet them.

"I happened to have something to do at the station. I rushed over after I received your call. It's not far anyway, so I'll be there in a short time."

Wu Fei asked the sales consultant softly: "Did the landlord just tell you something?"

"The landlord called me at nine o'clock, but he didn't say anything after he came over. I'll introduce it to you later, and then we can continue talking."

Then he opened a door next to the big office and invited the landlord and Wu Fei in.

At this time, it was a simple living room with an area of ​​only about ten square meters, with a set of sofas and a conference table.

The salesperson poured a glass of boiling water for everyone and introduced to Wu Fei and the others: "This is Boss Ma from Unit C on the 16th floor of Building 3. This is Boss Wu who looked at the house yesterday. Everyone is gathered together today to talk about this."

It’s about getting a house.”

"Hello, Boss Ma. This house has increased a lot in the past two years, and Boss Ma has great vision." Wu Fei said to Boss Ma, who was sitting opposite him.

The landlord, Boss Ma, looked to be around fifty years old. He looked a bit serious. Even when he greeted Wu Fei, his smile was a bit stiff.

He was also very well-dressed, but he wore a large gold chain around his neck that was thicker than chopsticks, and two large gold rings on his fingers, which made him look a bit like a nouveau riche.

If you take off all the necklaces and rings you are wearing and put on a pair of glasses, some people will believe you if you say you are a teacher.

"Boss Wu is young and promising. He can buy a house in the county town at a young age. Nowadays, houses in the county town are not cheap. When I was your age, I was still digging in the fields."

Boss Ma also said to Wu Fei enthusiastically.

"Boss Ma has become rich now. People like me are really digging in the fields. This year, I have only seen output, not income. I wonder what business Boss Ma is doing?"

"I'm in the timber business, but it's hard to do business now. There are more and more books on the mountain, but it's getting harder and harder to get a felling license."

This seems to be true. Wu Fei has also heard about this in the village. I heard that without a certain relationship, the felling permit will not be approved at all. Even if it is his own forest, it is not allowed to be felled.

Of course, if you cut small batches for your own use, no one will care about you. But if you want to cut them down and sell them, you won't be allowed to cut them down without a felling certificate.

If you cut it down secretly and are discovered by the forestry department, the money from selling the tree may not be enough to pay the fine.

However, no family in the village can cut down trees themselves and sell them. They usually sell them to the timber merchants one by one, and let them be responsible for felling and obtaining felling certificates.

Of course, before cutting down trees, you need to negotiate a good price with the people who occupy the land on the hilltop, because there are usually several owners on the hilltops like Wu Fei's place.

If there are one or two people on the whole mountain who can't talk, then the whole mountain won't dare to cut down the trees. Because the boundaries are not very clear at all, there is nothing you can do if you cut down the trees of the family you didn't buy.

prove.

In the early years, many timber merchants who came to the countryside to buy trees suffered such losses, and now they have learned better.

They are all negotiated hill by hill. If the negotiation is good, buy them all. If there are one or two that cannot be negotiated, then even if you want to buy them again, you will not dare to cut them off.

If there is any trouble when cutting down the tree, no one in the village will help you. Anyway, everyone has already got the money from selling the tree. If you have a dispute with people in the village, someone will help you to do business outside.

That's the weird thing.

In rural areas, it is like helping relatives but not taking care of people. As for cutting down trees first and then giving money, such a thing might have been possible ten years ago, but now it is completely unthinkable.

Nowadays, you have to pay all the money to buy a tree before you can go into the mountain to cut down the tree. In the early years, someone cut down the tree, and then the person disappeared, or they gave a part first and then owed another part. Although most people will keep their faith.

There is a promise, but it is inevitable that some people will want to default on the debt.

After seeing it more often, everyone learned the lesson. They all became like rabbits and eagles. Anyway, the tree will not run away when it grows on the mountain. Don't always have people come to buy it.

However, the state seems to have been very strict in the approval of felling licenses in recent years. Anyway, no one in Wu Fei's village seems to have come to buy trees in recent years. Although the trees on several mountains are not small anymore.

"You can come and take a look at our village when you have time. We have a lot of big trees in Longshan."

Hearing that he was in the timber business, Wu Fei invited Boss Ma.

In fact, it is a big tree, that is, a tree with a circumference of two feet. Like the trees in the village that require several people to hug, they are all registered in the county, and no one dares to cut them down. Of course, the trees in the village

No one will let anyone cut it.

Even if any accidents occur in these matters, they need to be reported to the superiors. A few years ago, a pine tree that could only be hugged by three people was struck by lightning and half of its branches were chopped off.

The village called the authorities that day, and the forestry department sent people over to check it out the next day. They even took photos and sent them back.

It's just that after being struck by lightning, the pine tree survived better than before. It has sprouted a lot of new branches in the past two years.

"Let's talk about this house. I still have things to do in the afternoon. When I have time, I will go to Longshan to find you. I also bought a forest in Longshan years ago." Boss Ma seemed a little anxious.

Like this, he said to Wu Fei.

"I have already seen Boss Ma's house. The house is good, but the price can be a little cheaper. The price of your house is the highest in this community."

Seeing Boss Ma's behavior, Wu Fei stopped talking nonsense to him and said straightforwardly.
