rebirth from small pockets

Chapter 528 Isn’t it too much to save your life and save your life?

As a person born in the late 1970s, Chen Li actually missed several opportunities to get rich in his last life.

For example~the famous Monkey Ticket!

Another example is the orchids that get crazier the more they are fried!

And the so-called sky-high price of ebony~!

If you talk about it at a smaller level, there are even various comic strips, old books and newspapers, etc.

But to be honest, even though Chen Li has experienced these things at this point in time, he actually has no experience with them.

After all, Chen Li himself has never owned either monkey tickets or orchids.

He does have a lot of comic books, but unfortunately, the ones he owns are basically the ones with large circulations and are not worth much at all.

But if Chen Li or the Chen family missed any opportunity to get rich, then they really did!

And this opportunity is wood, wooden furniture to be precise.

That was in 2005, when the price of so-called sea yellow had already been skyrocketed.

Chen Li's mother used to work in this silk factory. At that time, Ms. Wang and Chen Guofu were two-time earners, and they lived a very good life.

In fact, Chen Li didn't think of this matter before. It happened that his family came to Chengdu to buy furniture. Chen Li suddenly remembered such a thing.

The reason why it is outside is naturally because this is a furniture factory, and smoking in the factory area is taboo.

But Mayor Liu didn't know whether he was mentally ill or something, so he just threw all the more than four million yuan into the silk factory.

But in fact, even before Chen Li was reborn, many furniture manufacturers were still selling so-called exorbitantly priced furniture made from Hainan huanghuali.

Even if the so-called inflation is taken out, how big is the profit of Hainan Huanghuali after the surge?

In the story that Wei Shuanglin told Chen Li in his previous life, Wei Shuanglin stumbled into trouble.

"Our Erlong Town. What is there to invest in now?"

As long as Mayor Liu knows some economic construction and makes some changes according to the geographical environment and local development situation of Erlong Town, I can't say how much effect these more than 4 million can have, but it can promote Erlong Town on a small scale.

Economic construction is still no problem.

At that time, Project Hope was planning to report it, but because Chen Li did not want to show up, he pushed the matter onto Red Pony Technology and Ma Xiaoyun.

If it were after 2008, I would probably be able to buy a big house in Huilong County with just this set of furniture.

It is said that this batch of materials was bought by his father-in-law before. At that time, the price of sea yellow wood was almost the same as that of cabbage.

It's a pity that the Chen family did not seize this opportunity. The Chen family's set of furniture had long been replaced due to damage and other reasons.

It was due to the push and support of these people that the so-called Haihuang was sold to sky-high prices by a group of shrewd but unscrupulous businessmen.

And whose pocket does the profit go into? It can’t possibly go into the pockets of consumers anyway, right?

How much are these profits? Chen Li definitely doesn't know.

So in order to raise funds, Wei Shuanglin sold the batch of sea yellow material at a price he thought was very suitable.

But Chen Li once heard something from Wei Shuanglin, through which he could reveal a little bit about the inside story of this so-called industry.

This furniture was made by a carpenter in Erlong Town who was not very skilled in craftsmanship. Although the carpenter's skills were average, the materials used in the Chen family's furniture were still quite good.

And the thing he remembered most clearly was that there were eight tons of Hainan Huanghuali in Wei Shuanglin's furniture factory!

Since it is a good material, the price will naturally be more expensive, and the corresponding labor costs will also be higher.

This kind of thing is far more exciting than the mahogany furniture and golden nanmu coffee table in Chen Li's home.

You can take a guess~ Where do these so-called Hainan Huanghuali furniture materials come from?

After 2002, Hainan Huanghuali continued to rise, but although the price increased, it was not outrageous.

For such a large breeding farm, to put it bluntly, the annual tax revenue is estimated to be more than the current Erlong Town.

You know, if Wei Shuanglin had not sold the eight tons of sea yellow material at that time, he would have made at least tens of millions more if he waited until around 2007 to sell it.

Before Chen Li was reborn, he saved Wei Shuanglin's life, so now Chen Li takes a handful of Wei Shuanglin's wool. Isn't that too much?

Although even in the year 2000, sea yellow material was considered a precious wood among woods, the degree of its preciousness was completely different from that of later times.

The reason why this happens is because of the price gap between the two.

People who do business naturally hope to get as much money as possible.

For example, relying on the Erlong River for fish farming?

Another example is to support other livestock breeding based on the local environment of Erlong Town, etc.

After all, some experts have already proposed the so-called distinction between sea yellow and Vietnamese yellow, so the price increase is reasonable.

There is no way~ Erlong Town actually has no fiscal revenue now, and its annual fiscal budget relies almost entirely on appropriations from superiors.

At the beginning, the price difference between the price of Haihuang and the price of Yuehuang was only about a few times.

The asphalt road from Erlong Town to the county seat has experienced quality problems in many places in just over a year.

Even before 2000, there was no such thing as Hainan Huanghuali.

Employees have resigned, laid off, and laid off. Although there are still about a hundred or so people left, up to the management and down to the grassroots employees, it can basically be said that the people are distracted.

Whether it is sea yellow or mahogany, they are both good materials for making furniture.

In fact, it cannot be said that he made a mistake, because in fact Wei Shuanglin did not lose money, he just made less money.

But something disappointing happened!

It just so happened that at that time, Wei Shuanglin's furniture factory had more than eight tons of sea yellow wood that had been harvested before.

But for a small place like Erlong Town, more than four million is enough to do a lot of things.

But no matter how much you think about it, you can't just throw all the more than four million yuan into the silk factory that is on the verge of bankruptcy, right?

Even Chen Li in his previous life knew that the silk factory in Erlong Town was rotten from the roots, and that the only way out for that factory was bankruptcy and liquidation.

Yes~ This silk factory located in Erlong Town once had its glory.

It is said that around 2000 to 2002 in Chen Li's previous life, the price of Hainan huanghuali wood in the market was only 20,000 yuan per ton, and even aniseed wood was only about 60,000 yuan per ton.

This price has actually increased several times since then.

But later this company was gradually eliminated by the market due to multiple problems such as corruption and backward technology.

It is said that Wei Shuanglin was actually planning to wait a little longer because it was his wife's sister and brother-in-law who kept asking him to take action quickly.

But after 2005, for some reason, the price of Hainan huanghuali was like adding a rocket launcher, and the price started to rise like crazy.

But after the so-called standards were promulgated in 2000, there were so-called sea yellows and Vietnamese yellows.

"Now that you are a boss, are you interested in making some investments in Erlong Town?"

There was no way. After all, at that time, the Chen family didn’t know that the so-called mahogany and golden nanmu furniture would rise to that level later.

Don't talk about him~ Even industry insiders like Wei Shuanglin actually don't know.

Therefore, although the sea yellow material at this time can be regarded as a precious wood, it is definitely not the king of woods that it became later.

Without him, he is really a little disappointed in this father-in-law!

Regarding this matter, Wei Shuanglin would tell people about it almost every time he drank too much.

By 2007, the price of sea yellow had risen to 20 million per ton, and the price of aniseed had even risen to 50 million per ton.

In fact, almost 95% of the so-called Hainan Huanghuali furniture on the market at that time was made of Vietnamese yellow materials.

He was actually a little emotional when he said this. The reason for this emotion was the large breeding farm he saw on the outskirts of Chengdu.

So, after discussing the wood and materials with Chen Li, Chen Li's mother, second mother, second aunt, and even Liu Qingqing and her mother came to the battle.

Five hundred thousand US dollars ~ converted into Chinese currency, it is about four million, although this is not a big number for a large institution like the government.

In fact, before 2000, let alone mahogany or golden nanmu, even Hainan huanghuali, which was later called the king of wood, was not as expensive as imagined.

Therefore, as the mayor of Erlong Town, Chen Li's future father-in-law was extremely anxious!

"invest?"

To put it bluntly, during this period, although the price of Hainan Huanghuali has actually increased somewhat, it is still considered a normal phenomenon.

Starting around 2005, Hainan Huanghuali began to be wildly speculated, and the reason given for the crazy speculation at that time was that Hainan Huanghuali was too rare and even on the verge of destruction.

Of course, Chen Li knew that the government affairs department was doing things, and it was definitely impossible for him to do whatever he wanted like he did.

Precisely because Wei Shuanglin told Chen Li several times, Chen Li remembered this matter quite clearly.

The most interesting thing~ was actually when Wei Shuanglin heard that the furniture requested by Chen Li needed to be made of Hainan huanghuali and mahogany. He was so happy.

The geographical environment of Erlong Town is indeed not very good. First of all, transportation is a big problem. However, if we only make some economic construction for Huilong or even several surrounding counties, we can actually make some progress.

There used to be a state-owned enterprise in Erlong Town, but now that state-owned enterprise has gone bankrupt and is in the process of liquidation.

Since 2000, when the country promulgated a so-called mahogany standard, some domestic businessmen began to speculate on so-called rare woods. Basically, after 2005, almost all of them, whether mahogany or golden nanmu, were speculated.

It became sky-high price.

But these things, which even Chen Li could see, seemed to be completely unthinkable to Mayor Liu.

The road from Erlong Town to the county seat was almost managed by his father-in-law. For this, Snowflake Group even sponsored a lot of money.

And it's not even just this road that has problems.

Then there is no more!

As for the reason, basically everyone understands it!

In fact, those so-called experts definitely played an important role in why Haihuang came to the altar.

At this time, Mayor Liu Da’s attempt to recreate the former glory of this company was simply a fantasy.

After spending more than four million yuan, in just over half a year, the factory spent all the money, and then there was nothing more.

Later~it is said that at its peak, the price of sea yellow was even as high as 90 million per ton.

Once upon a time, this silk factory was a star enterprise in Huilong County, with thousands of employees.

When Chen Li's father Chen Guofu and his mother Wang Dongmei got married, they made a set of furniture, including tables, chairs, benches, wardrobes and even bed frames.

At that time, there was actually no accurate description of whether it was Hainan huanghuali or the so-called Vietnamese huanghuali.

To this end, Ma Xiaoyun donated a total of two million US dollars to Huilong County in his own name and as a company.

The expression on Chen Li's face was a little serious. This was probably the first time he had faced Mayor Liu with this expression.

A group of women began to gather around the product pictures of the furniture factory and the dimensions that had been measured at home, and began to discuss with Wei Shuanglin.

So, outside Wei Shuanglin's furniture factory, a bunch of men gathered in a circle and started smoking.

"Xiao Li~!"

Last year, Chen Li was "scammed" by the system Xiaomeng for more than 50 million US dollars. Later, Chen Li learned that the money was donated by Xiaomeng to the Hope Project.

For example, an entire modular cabinet is made of mahogany, and even the coffee table is made of so-called golden nanmu.

Of the two million US dollars, a full half million US dollars was earmarked to be donated to Erlong Town.

To be honest, this is Liu Qingqing's father, otherwise Chen Li would probably ask him if he had misappropriated the corresponding funds.

As for continuing to hoard Hainan Huanghuali? Don’t talk nonsense. It’s only January 2000, and the country doesn’t even have the so-called mahogany standards!

To put it bluntly, the timber speculators at this time probably have not yet set their sights on Hainan Huanghuali.

But later, the price became more and more outrageous, and the price gap between the two was even dozens of times or more.

In the end, Wei Shuanglin chose to take action at a price he thought was very high, but unexpectedly he made a mistake.

Among the people present, the one who could say this was naturally Chen Li's future father-in-law, Mayor Liu Da.

"Uncle Liu, are you trying to trick me?"

Tell me something funny~!

At that time, Wei Shuanglin was preparing for transformation and planned to build his own brand.

"Are you going to invest in the silk factory in town?"

As for Chen Li, his second father and even Mayor Liu Da, they basically have no say in this aspect.

Now, this once star company in Huilong County has completely gone bankrupt and is currently in the process of liquidation.

As for Chen Li, it was precisely because of this incident that he did not give his future father-in-law a good look for the first time.

Mayor Liu Da knew that he was in the wrong. He looked at Chen Li's expression and his own face instantly dropped.

He took a strong puff of the cigarette in his hand, threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stepped on it hard, and finally.

"Hey~ I can't help it!"
