Yang Yong wanted to transfer the forest farm to Meng Haisheng for 2 million yuan, so Meng Haisheng would naturally negotiate the price.
Yu Guangwen was more familiar with this than Meng Haisheng.
Yang Yong brought a group of people to see the forest farm he had contracted.
"The entire Qingchao Mountain here is contracted by me. There are marks on all four sides. The estimated area is 1,200 acres, but the actual area is definitely more than this."
Meng Haisheng followed Yang Yong's gaze and saw a mountain with dense vegetation not far away.
"This forest farm at the foot of the mountain is also contracted. There are two warehouses for storing wood and more than 40 houses for workers. These houses are not temporary wooden houses, but mud-brick houses that I built with my own money."
"My parents were both lumberjacks. I know how hard they work. They come to work for me in the middle of winter, so I will naturally not treat them unfairly."
Yang Yong said as he led everyone to the forest farm.
The yard of the forest farm is built with bricks and stones, at least two meters high. In addition to the open-air warehouse, there are two large warehouses with iron doors.
The house for the lumberjacks is really good, with a big kang inside. As long as it is heated enough, it will definitely not be cold in winter.
In this way, Yang Yong is also good.
"I will leave all the carriages in the forest farm to you, and I will also leave all the tractors that usually pull wood."
Meng Haisheng took a look at the tractors, all of which were old-fashioned tractors with some years. He will replace them later.
He has paid the 2 million contract money, so he doesn't need a few tractors.
After a round of walking, Meng Haisheng was still very satisfied with this small forest farm.
The area is not large, it is not conspicuous, and the location is cheap enough. It is no big deal for him to store some steel here.
Meng Haisheng called Yu Guangwen and Ren Heming aside to discuss it, and he already had a rough contract price in mind.
"Boss Yang, please give me a real price. The contract price of 2 million is still too expensive."
"I think Boss Meng is sincere, plus Mayor Yu's face, you give me 1.6 million, this is basically my bottom line, I won't pay a penny less."
"Others subcontract the forest farm and take everything away, but I don't take anything away. Now you take over, you can directly cut trees and make a lot of money."
Yang Yong said so, 1.6 million is similar to what Meng Haisheng thought, so the matter was settled.
The development of the matter was completely beyond Meng Haisheng's expectations. When the contract for the transfer was placed in front of him, he was a little bit unbelievable.
At the beginning, Meng Haisheng had already made preparations to deal with the head of the Qingchao Village, otherwise he would not have gone to such great lengths to invite Yu Guangwen over.
Who would have thought that things would be completely beyond his expectations.
The villagers of Qingchao Village are fierce and xenophobic, but they also love the primeval forest in front of them.
They knew long ago that if they kept cutting down trees, sooner or later there would be no trees left in the forest.
Yu Guangwen read the contract twice and handed it to Meng Haisheng.
"No big problem."
Meng Haisheng nodded slightly. He had also read the contract and it was indeed not a scam.
Picking up a pen, Meng Haisheng and Yang Yong signed the contract together and then took it to the town for notarization.
After signing the contract, Meng Haisheng met with some leaders from the town government.
Shi Rongjin didn't show up for this, Yu Guangwen did it for him.
Since then, Meng Haisheng has added a forest farm to his assets.
After signing the contract, Meng Haisheng brought Ren Heming to Qingchaotun again to discuss the wood boss with Zou Ziqiang.
"Here's what I'm thinking. I'm not in a hurry to cut down trees in this forest farm. Just bring more than 300 people with you two. The wood you cut down in one winter will be enough for me."
"There's no hurry to transport the wood out. Just leave it in the forest farm."
"Wait until next spring, after the spring plowing, you can continue to recruit people to plant food and poplar trees at the foot of the mountain I contracted."
"Okay, the area at the foot of the mountain was cut down by foreign loggers in the early years to save trouble."
"I planted a lot of poplar trees at the foot of the mountain a few years ago, but it's a pity that I can't plant many by myself."
Speaking of this, Zou Ziqiang sighed. It will take at least a dozen years for the cut-down mountain forest to restore its former luxuriance.
This year, there are only more than 200 people brought by Ren Heming in the forest farm, which has become much quieter. The house that was originally crowded can finally be relaxed.
"Boss Meng, are we really not going to sell any wood this year? Will anyone get suspicious?"
Meng Haisheng thought about it and realized that his forest farm must have had regular customers in the past. If they came to buy wood and he refused them outright, it would make people think too much and offend them.
After all, the timber business is still very prosperous."Then we'll sell a small amount."
"Okay."
Ren Heming was going to take Meng Haisheng to Tukum, and he gave the task of taking the lumberjacks up the mountain to the second cabinet Shi Sen.
Everything was ready, Meng Haisheng and his party got on the carriage and went into the mountains to take the lumberjacks' path to Tukum.
If they took the train, it would take 2 hours to get to Tukum.
But they took the carriage and took the logging path, and they could get to Tukum in 5 hours.
This is the border line, so there are naturally people in charge. Otherwise, the people on both sides would travel to each other without applying for border passes, which would be a mess.
In order to prevent being checked, the two roads chosen by Ren Heming were a little bumpy.
The two carriages were moving on the snow, neither fast nor slow. If it was spring, Meng Haisheng would definitely be able to enjoy the scenery along the way.
Unfortunately, the north wind was howling at this time, and Meng Haisheng just wanted to curl himself up to resist the cold wind.
They were sitting in the carriage wearing thick cotton clothes and covered with thick cotton quilts, but even so, Meng Haisheng felt chilly.
"Let's take a break in front and warm up by the fire."
Ren Heming had more experience than anyone else. He knew very well that Meng Haisheng and his friends would be frozen into ice sculptures if they sat in the carriage for two hours without moving.
"There is snow everywhere in this deep mountain. Is there any place to rest?"
Meng Haisheng asked curiously.
"We walk on these mountain roads all year round, so naturally we have our own place to rest."
After walking for about ten minutes, a small wooden house appeared in front of everyone.
The small wooden house was built on the side of the road. It was estimated that there was a towering tree there before. The tree was cut down and the roots were dug out, leaving a space.
The wooden house was also built casually, barely able to block the north wind.
Ren Heming stopped the carriage and let the horses rest for a while. He also took out some fodder from the cabin for the horses to eat.
The two horses were exhausted after the journey.
