Start with buying a house

Chapter 70 I also want to buy a batch (Please recommend tickets! Please collect!)
"Really! I won't lie to you. If you don't believe it, just ask Mr. Weng." Seeing that Ouyang Dehe was a little unmoved, Huang Shimin added.

When Weng Chengcheng saw Ouyang Dehe looking over, he felt a little embarrassed, but in the end he said: "Laos is too poor. If you fall in love with that Laotian girl, you can treat it as poverty alleviation, and it won't cost you much. "

"Forget it, I don't have this idea. I'm still interested in Siamese rosewood in Laos. When will we go to the mountains to buy wood?" Ouyang Dehe quickly changed the topic.

"We still use the mountains to buy wood. Although it can save some costs, it can't afford the time. We have to wait for a long time. We only need to go to the wood market to buy." Weng Chengxin said.

"Afterwards, it will be loaded on the truck, and then shipped back to the port of Bangkok. You can also go to Vietnam, but Vietnam is too messy and not very safe. It is more convenient to go to Thailand by sea. The whole journey will take more than half a month."

"It turned out to be like this! I thought I would go into the mountains to buy it!" Ouyang Dehe said.

"So we can go back soon?"

"It's not a very complicated thing, as long as you don't have experience, it's just random thinking, but we have to have someone go to Bangkok with the car and personally watch the purchased logs, put them into the container and seal the container, so that we can rest assured, otherwise we will be punished." If you fill it up well, you will suffer a lot." Weng Chengxin said.

"It's the first time you come to Vientiane, why don't you play for a few days first, after you buy the wood, it's not convenient to stay here to play." Weng Chengxin said kindly.

"In Vientiane, apart from temple Buddha statues, there are also temple Buddha statues. There is nothing interesting to do here. Let's go to the timber market first and have a look! Finish your work early and go back early." Ouyang Dehe said.

He had stayed in Vientiane for a while before he was reborn. He had already visited the places he was supposed to visit, and he really had no interest in visiting them again.

Weng Chengxin nodded and agreed to go to the timber market to order a batch of timber early tomorrow morning.

After staying in the hotel for one night and enjoying the hotel's free buffet the next morning, Huang Shimin drove to the hotel to pick them up.

Huang Shimin acts as a guide and translator. Laos is a multi-ethnic country, but Lao language is a common language, similar to Mandarin Chinese in China.

The timber market is located outside Vientiane City, covering a very large area, and there are many people who come to purchase timber, many of whom are timber merchants from China.

A few years later, the wave of mahogany furniture in China has turned to the entire Southeast Asia. The forests of Thailand, Myanmar, Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia and other countries have been logged on a large scale, especially in Thailand, where many virgin forests have been cut down to become bare. hill.

Countries began to prohibit felling trees, afforestation, prohibiting the export of timber, and cracking down on smuggling of timber.

The prices of all kinds of mahogany in various countries began to rise sharply, and many people took risks to smuggle the wood out of the country for profit.

In Myanmar, it was revealed that hundreds of Chinese loggers were arrested and sentenced by the Myanmar local government.

A few years later, the rosewood resources in Laos were basically controlled by the Vietnamese. In order to compete for the rosewood resources, the Chinese often fought with the Vietnamese, but in the end, the Chinese suffered more than the Vietnamese.

This is something that can’t be helped. The relationship between Vietnam and Laos is very special. It is not too much to say that Laos is Vietnam’s younger brother. Naturally, Chinese businessmen cannot compete with the Vietnamese.

But the business still needs to be done, and the mahogany still has to be bought. In the end, the mahogany can only be purchased from the Vietnamese and shipped directly from Vietnam to the country.

Although I don't know how many hands have been transferred, the price has increased layer by layer, more than one or two times more expensive, but it is better than safety.

I went to Laos to buy mahogany in person. Although the price was much cheaper, I was worried. There was no guarantee for safety, and it would be even worse if it was robbed.

Afterwards, the control of timber in various countries was very strict. Many mahogany merchants went to the mahogany producing areas, invested and built factories in Laos, Vietnam, and Myanmar, and made mahogany into furniture, or locally, according to various domestic furniture manufacturers. The materials needed for furniture are prepared and exported to China in the form of wood products for further processing.

Some manufacturers even hire local carpenters abroad to carry out machine finishing. When they are shipped back to China, they can be directly assembled into finished furniture for sale. This kind of operation is mainly in Vietnam. People in the domestic mahogany furniture industry call it Vietnamese goods.

Vietnamese goods are very generous in materials, after all, mahogany is relatively cheap in the place of origin.

However, the workmanship of Vietnamese products is very rough. Before they are shipped back to China for sale, they generally have to undergo secondary processing. It requires the master carpenter of the domestic mahogany furniture factory to dismantle them, refurbish them, and then install them.

Experts generally look down on Vietnamese products, and only laymen are attracted by the generous materials used in Vietnamese products.

Usually, the price of Vietnamese products is also cheaper than that of domestic products, but in terms of fine workmanship, the difference between the two is too far.

After the shortage of timber resources in Southeast Asia, the Chinese imported a large number of African huanghuali, also known as hedgehog red sandalwood, at a very affordable price.

In addition, there are African white rosewood, blood sandalwood, Brazilian rosewood, etc.

In the mahogany furniture market, people who don't understand this industry are easy to be fooled when buying mahogany furniture, because there are too many types of wood.

The more yellow is pretending to be sea yellow, and the blood sandalwood is pretending to be red sandalwood with small leaves. If you don't pay attention, there is a big difference in value.

In the market at this time, the long and thick aniseed materials of Siamese rosewood sold in Laos can be seen everywhere. After 2011, this kind of aniseed materials have basically disappeared in the domestic market.

Weng Chengxin didn't spend too much time buying wood. At this time, Siamese rosewood was not so precious as to calculate the price by weight. Instead, the price was negotiated by cubic meter, and the price was only [-] US dollars per cubic meter. It is equivalent to a little over [-] Huaxia coins.

The domestic price is about 7000 yuan. Manufacturers with large scale and large consumption are still willing to go to Laos to buy wood in person, which will save a lot of expenses.

Siamese rosewood belongs to high-grade mahogany, and the amount used by each factory is generally not very large, but Chengxin mahogany furniture factory is doing business in the Xiangjiang market, and people in Xiangjiang are relatively rich, so the furniture of Chengxin mahogany furniture factory Mainly wood.

Moreover, the full name on the signboard of Chengxin Mahogany Furniture Factory is Chengxin mahogany (rosewood) furniture factory, so he uses a lot of rosewood, so he must go to the place of origin to purchase mahogany in person, which is more cost-effective and saves at least one cubic meter The cost of several thousand dollars.

When Ouyang Dehe came, he certainly didn't want to miss out on such good wood. Instead, he said to Weng Chengcheng, who had already purchased the wood: "Boss, I also want to buy a batch of old rosewood and bring it back to China. Is it convenient? "
