Chapter 237 New Cooperation, Please Help
Old Guo, who came with him, didn't say a word. Looking at Deputy Director Wei's worthless appearance, he felt a little uncomfortable.
Can you calm down?
However, when he saw the six ancient trees lying in the yard, he lost his composure.
Looking around, this is still some distance from the highway...
"How did you move here?" He asked incredulously. "Why did you move here? Did you find it around here?"
“…”
Chen Jinyue didn't say anything, just looked at him.
Professor Cao hurried over to check.
Deputy Director Wei also wanted to go over, but when he heard him ask something he shouldn't, he stopped in his tracks. "Let me introduce you, this is Deputy Director Guo from the wildlife protection department."
Deputy Director Guo thought it was finally his turn, so he stepped forward to shake hands with her in a serious manner, "Ms. Chen, I've long heard of you."
Chen Jinyue politely shook hands with him and said, "Hello, Deputy Director Guo, you must be joking."
"I came here today because I want to talk to you about cooperation."
"Really? Then we'll talk about it later. It would be my honor if there's a chance for us to work together."
“…”
With a casual remark, the topic was turned back.
It is also a kind of ability.
Deputy Director Guo glanced at her, a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes, but he didn't say anything else in the end.
After Deputy Director Wei introduced the two parties, he could no longer hold back and ran forward to look at the trees. It must be said that Chen Jinyue really did not exaggerate.
It is even older than the ancient trees they currently protect.
Visible to the naked eye.
However, the specific age still needs to be identified in detail.
It is impossible to use the literature tracking method to identify the goods she sent over, and she won't get any information even if she asks. She can only take them back and use instruments to measure them.
Professor Cao and Deputy Director Wei were both very anxious, but neither of them was able to convince the other first. They looked at each other and Professor Cao spoke first.
"Girl, look at this rare ancient tree. It's very difficult to transplant. It would be such a pity if it died..."
Of course Chen Jinyue knew what they meant.
She was asking for help, and her sincerity was strong. "This was dug from the place you mentioned with a 100% survival rate. The soil is from that place, and the soil ball is intact. As long as it's properly protected, it won't die."
Professor Cao's face was filled with joy. "Great! This is great!"
Deputy Director Wei was also worried, so he turned around and instructed his assistant to arrange people to move and load the goods.
"There's no rush to load the truck. It's getting late. Why don't we have a meal together and sit down and chat?"
“…”
Deputy Director Wei was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood what she meant.
Last time she said she wanted his help with something.
Looking at these six delightful ancient trees, without even having to worry about their survival rate, Deputy Director Wei suddenly became a little nervous. How busy must she be to be so careful?
…
There is not much business in Xiaozhu Village.
Several people went directly to Jiang Zixing's house.
The old man was very welcoming and had already set up the table and dishes in the yard. There were a lot of snacks on the table, as well as peanuts and melon seeds left over from the Chinese New Year.
It’s not high-end, but it’s hearty, warm and down-to-earth.
"Grandpa Jiang, Grandma Jiang, thank you so much for troubling you." Chen Jinyue greeted the two elders.
Grandma Jiang warmly shook Chen Jinyue's hand and said, "It's no trouble! You take care of our Zixing family and our entire village. It's so hard for you to come to our house for a meal. We are so happy!"
Chen Jinyue smiled and said, "I'll come here often in the future, and I might bother you often."
"Come! Come often! I didn't prepare anything today, I'll make you something delicious next time!"
“…”
After greeting her, Grandma Jiang asked her to sit down and she went back to the kitchen to busy herself.
Chen Jinyue felt a little embarrassed and said to Jiang Zixing, "Go and tell the old man that there is no need to prepare too much. It's too tiring."
"She's not tired, she's happy." Jiang Zixing refused directly, and then explained, "My aunt and the others are helping in the kitchen, so she won't get tired."
Only then did Chen Jinyue feel relieved.
Not long after I sat down, a figure came slowly and walked towards me from not far away.
It’s Zhou Yichuan.
Deputy Director Wei remained calm on the surface, but he became even more nervous inside.
One of these two people says the most polite words and does the harshest things, while the other one acts decisively and doesn't hold back with his words. Together they are a king bomb.
It seems that these ancient trees today are difficult to take away...
Zhou Yichuan greeted them one by one, being unexpectedly polite and humble.
After three rounds of drinks, Chen Jinyue took the lead in opening the topic.
"Don't Mr. Zhou and I run a furniture business? There's a huge demand for timber, and since we have ancient trees as a channel, I thought we'd do some timber business as well..."
Deputy Director Wei guessed what was going on as soon as he opened his mouth.
Timber business.
If she can come and speak in person, it must not be a small business.
He feigned ignorance and said, "This is easy. You all have sufficient qualifications, so the procedure should be simple, right?"
"It's not easy," Zhou Yichuan said bluntly, "the source of our materials is not very legal."
“…”
Deputy Director Guo just took a sip of tea and almost spit it out.
He is still too ignorant.
This is the first time in my career that I have heard such straightforward words.
He looked at Zhou Yichuan, then at Deputy Director Wei, remaining silent rationally, just to see how his colleagues would respond...
Deputy Director Wei took a sip of white wine to calm himself down, "Xiao Zhou, please speak nicely."
Chen Jinyue's eyes twitched, he glanced at Zhou Yichuan, and began to speak politely, "It's not illegal. We haven't cut down trees indiscriminately, nor have we illegally imported anything. It's just that we can't provide relevant proof of origin."
After a pause, she added, "Just like the ancient trees today, and the saplings I gave you before."
Deputy Director Wei was silent for a few seconds and did not speak for a while.
Deputy Director Guo helped to cooperate and changed the subject, asking what kind of wood they were dealing in.
"It's quite a mix, with things like wenge, ironwood, boxwood, beech, golden nanmu, and so on. I'll just deal in whatever I can get my hands on."
“…”
Deputy Director Guo also fell silent.
Is she poking at the nest of precious wood?
Some are even second-level protected plants!
Chen Jinyue felt like he had run out of things to talk about, so he turned to Zhou Yichuan and said, "I said the scope is too large, and it's not going to be easy for Deputy Director Wei to do it."
Zhou Yichuan said calmly, "No, Deputy Director Wei knows our situation. We're old partners and are trustworthy. Besides, I understand that certain woods are not only used in construction, but are also widely used in the military industry. However, they grow slowly and are at risk of over-harvesting, so they have become protected species. Operating them here can also reduce resource pressure, which is a good thing."
Chen Jinyue suddenly realized, "That makes sense. It's mutually beneficial."
Zhou Yichuan replied, "That's right."
Deputy Director Guo, “…”
Deputy Director Wei, "..."
You guys are singing the same tune, and the abacus beads are falling on people's faces.
But I have to say that his analysis is actually reasonable.
Chen Jinyue has special channels, and the things he brings out are like appearing out of thin air, injecting new blood into the market.
Moreover, they took the initiative to hand over the control of quantity to the higher-ups, which will not disrupt the market...
