Chapter 123 Who Wants These Broken Woods



The time it took Zhang Hongcheng to travel to Xishuangbanna and back exceeded Chief Ai's expectations.

When Zhang Hongcheng returned to the Forestry Bureau Guesthouse, the local Water-Splashing Festival had already ended.

Ai Minwei treated Zhang Hongcheng to a delicious meal of local cuisine, several of which included colorful mushrooms, which were indeed delicious.

The cooking skills of the chef were very good, and after Zhang Hongcheng finished eating, there were no strange scenes such as trees on the roadside or wild dogs speaking human language.

The Yuxi Forestry Bureau provided two solutions.

The first option is to count the slightly higher price of that batch of wood as the current period's accounts payable to the Forestry Department of the Fourth Division.

The second plan: The Forestry Bureau will raise a batch of local wood, increasing the cubic volume by 15%. They will be responsible for transporting it to Guangdong Province, and then the Yuxi Forestry Bureau will have nothing to do with it.

According to the considerations of the Forestry Department of the Fourth Division, the first option is of course better.

But when Zhang Hongcheng reported to his superiors, he deliberately added a sentence.

He suggested the second method. As long as Yunnan Province was responsible for transporting the seal, he would be able to bring it into the picture as well.

Political Commissar Han immediately instructed: "Go for it! Success would be best, but failure doesn't matter!"

There are actually large logs in the timber yard of the Yuxi Forestry Bureau.

However, they were very strict with these large logs, and all that was available for Zhang Hongcheng to choose from were logs of less qualified quality.

Chief Ai enthusiastically took Zhang Hongcheng to visit several lumber yards, and Zhang Hongcheng finally stopped in front of a pile of wood.

This is a large pile of wood of uneven thickness and length.

But the texture of the wood's cross section is very distinctive.

When Section Chief Ai was taking Zhang Hongcheng around the yard, there were a few people standing next to the pile of wood who were obviously not employees of the yard.

When these people saw Zhang Hongcheng and Section Chief Ai, who were obviously cadres, they seemed a little nervous and embarrassed.

They were employees of a furniture factory, and they were all studying the pile of wood with envy.

It’s a pity that they didn’t dare to use this batch of wood to make furniture, because there were too many such furniture during the Ming and Qing dynasties...

Zhang Hongcheng carefully recalled the cross-section of the wood in the photo sent by the fat man, and after repeated confirmation, he was sure that this batch of wood was exactly what he wanted.

"Don't be picky, just this batch!"

Chief Ai naturally agreed and dealt with the matter quickly and decisively, fearing that if he delayed any longer, this guy would go back on his word.

Huanghuali.

One of the most unpopular woods of this era.

At least the Qiongdao Huanghuali is listed as a protected plant, but the Huanghuali in Yunnan Province has been directly buried in the dust.

Only suitable for burning fire.

When Zhang Hongcheng boarded the train to Guangdong Province, he and Ai Minwei were both secretly happy.

.......

The Flower City was full of passion just after May Day.

But Zhang Hongcheng was once again turned away in front of an office building.

Yuecheng Import and Export Company is a foreign-related unit, so it is certainly not easy to enter.

Zhang Hongcheng was not discouraged and waited until someone got off work.

This "someone" refers to Deputy Section Chief Bao Shaokui.

Although he is nominally a deputy section chief, his actual administrative level is several levels higher than that of a deputy section chief.

The main reason is that the administrative level of their unit is high.

Looking at the young man who stopped his bicycle, Bao Shaokui's face instantly darkened.

"Why are you people from the Northeast so unruly in your dealings?"

"I'm already off work!"

Zhang Hongcheng smiled and spread his hands.

"But you don't have time to see me at work."

Bao Shaokui waved his hand impatiently: "It's no use looking for me. It can only be the original batch of wood, otherwise there is no other solution!"

In fact, Bao Shaokui also knew that his request was a bit strange, but he had no choice because the Hong Kong businessmen's requests were just so strange.

But he just couldn't name the Hong Kong businessmen.

Bao Shaokui knew that the Northeast Fourth Division was gradually getting angry, which made him feel awkward both inside and outside.

The Hong Kong businessman's request was so strange that the Forestry Department of the Fourth Division was confused. Even Deputy Section Chief Bao Shaokui, who was in charge of the matter, was confused. But the fat man helped Zhang Hongcheng find out everything clearly from another time and space.

This batch of large logs exported from China was actually sold to some patriotic people in Hong Kong Island for use in renovating old houses.

But the people in Hong Kong had a trick up their sleeve.

The reason why the businessman named Huang Taoyu valued that batch of big logs so much was simply because more than 80% of them were elm trees!

What is Pestle Elm?

In fact, everyone can understand what Mr. Huang is planning by quoting a famous saying from the wood industry.

"Southern red sandalwood and northern pestle elm".

That’s right, the reason why Boss Huang was hesitant and a bit unreasonable was that he didn’t want people to guess his true purpose.

When this batch of pestles arrives in Hong Kong, he will just hoard it.

In fact, he had already prepared the wood to be given to those people to repair their old houses.

According to the information that Fatty found, this matter will eventually come to nothing.

These days, people in China are not very fond of pampering certain people.

Zhang Hongcheng is like a person grabbing at the last straw.

"Chief Bao, how about you take our guests to see the wood I brought?"

Bao Shaokui glared and scolded, "Who asked you to bring these broken pieces of wood from Yunnan Province? Get out of the way!"

Looking at the bicycle going away, the "disappointment" on Zhang Hongcheng's face gradually disappeared, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Everything is going according to his plan.

The year 1974 was different from later times. Zhang Hongcheng did not have the courage to go directly to the foreign affairs guesthouse to find Huang Taoyu.

Since Section Chief Bao Shaokui is totally uncooperative, why don't the young and hot-headed cadres show some anger?
