I am farming in the real world

Chapter 99: Shocking Log Diameter! (Seeking Subscriptions)

Inside the production area of the Sowa Lumber Mill.

Old Shang, who had completed the contracting procedures and waited for a long time, was surprised and concerned when he saw Chen Jue bringing back an injured brown bear, asking: "Boss! Are you not injured?"

Chen Jue smiled and shook his head: "With Lao Liu's protection, even if a few more brown bears like this came, they wouldn't be able to get close to me."

Seeing that Chen Jue was still very concerned about this brown bear, Old Shang asked: "Boss, are you planning to raise it in our lumber mill?"

Chen Jue nodded: "This will be our Far East sub-base in the future. Keeping a bear here can add another layer of protection. It's more intimidating than raising a few dogs!"

Old Shang didn't believe it at all after hearing this. As Chen Jue's lackey, he knew his boss's thoughts better than anyone else.

Most likely, he just had the whimsical idea of raising a pet.

After all, in the domestic environment, you can only raise a cat or a dog at most. Where else can you raise such a cool adult brown bear like here in Great Russia!

If you just casually take a group photo and post it on WeChat Moments or Douyin, the number of likes will probably explode in minutes.

So, after this master and servant MC chat, they confirmed that the Sowa Lumber Mill, including the economic forest farm in the back mountain, had been successfully contracted.

Chen Jue followed Old Shang down the mountain and found a Russian veterinarian in a nearby town who knew how to treat bears to check the fracture of this mother bear, newly named 'Misha', and also to do a bear clan prenatal check.

After confirming that the three little bear cubs in her belly were safe and sound, Chen Jue stuffed 100,000 rubles to the kind-hearted Russian doctor who came for the emergency.

Because in addition to treating Misha's injuries, he also wanted to rely on the veterinarian's connections to continue finding ways to get the legal qualifications for raising bears as well.

There are many people raising bears in Great Russia. As long as the money is in place, Chen Jue doesn't believe that this small matter cannot be done.

...

In the next few days, Chen Jue basically stayed in the Sowa Lumber Mill, living a life close to nature.

On the one hand, he cooperated with Tie Lao Liu to take care of the mother bear Misha, to deepen their relationship.

On the other hand, he was quietly expanding the Far East sub-base.

When Old Shang successfully obtained the cross-border transportation qualification of Tiehan Logistics by relying on his authentic Russian and spending money to build relationships.

20 heavy trucks with unified Logo signs were carrying two excavators left over from the Cube Factory, as well as a large number of logging equipment prepared in China, and successfully passed the Blagoveshchensk Boundary River Highway Bridge from the Heihe Port.

After the convoy spent half a day driving to the Sowa Lumber Mill, they began a simple renovation project.

Because this time from Ruixian, Tie Yi and the others also brought a batch of pre-cut high-standard concrete blocks.

With the assistance of the newly arrived 20 Iron Golems, the original buildings in the lumber mill were all leveled quickly.

Then, concrete blocks and iron profiles were used to add a standard rectangular workshop with a height of 30 meters on the basis of the original lumber mill.

As for those muddy dirt roads outside leading into the mountains, Chen Jue deliberately didn't repair them.

Because in Chen Jue's opinion, the more muddy the road connecting the lumber mill to the outside world is, the more difficult it is to walk, the less people will come.

It's like a natural barrier, which can greatly ensure the lumber mill's personnel's external contact and circulation, and maximize the shielding effect on the MC system.

"Done!"

"Next is to ripen those economic forests below the red line."

Chen Jue looked at the renovated lumber mill with satisfaction, as well as the zongzi bear house with the sign 'Cute things inside' hanging at the entrance.

Then he let a few Iron Golems start the logging equipment and excavators, pretending to go into the mountains to find mature trees below the red line to cut down, creating a busy logging scene.

After all, he spent nearly 5 million RMB to contract this lumber mill. How can he quickly recover the cost without making a big deal?

The biggest reason why the Sergey couple couldn't run this place before was also because the big trees on the periphery near the factory area had been basically cut down after years of operation.

If they wanted to continue cutting good wood, they had to go into the mountains along the mountain road.

That would greatly increase the cost of transporting the wood out of the mountains, as well as the fuel consumption of the logging machinery.

Moreover, the cost of building a hardened road leading into the deep mountains is also very high.

When the cost of obtaining wood exceeds the economic benefits brought by the wood, this rigid business model will definitely not be sustainable, and can only wait for a rich 'sucker' to take over.

Fortunately, Chen Jue didn't really come to be a sucker.

In his opinion, the Russians' rough development of this Far East region is a waste of natural resources.

After dividing the 20 Iron Golems into two work groups, he asked Old Shang to buy a batch of seedlings from a nearby town.

Some were transplanted to those bare mountains, and some were planted in the workshop of the lumber mill.

However, this time, he didn't use the [Hoe] to open up MC farmland in the workshop, but directly used the real black soil to plant these seedlings.

When the seedlings were planted, he took out [Bone Meal] and gently poured it, and a green light began to flash.

Those larches, birches, and spruces began to grow rapidly upward until they were about to reach the roof of the workshop, and Chen Jue stopped the action of continuing to pour [Bone Meal].

"Plants in MC are usually divided into 2 to 3 growth stages."

"These long-lived tree species in reality don't seem to have this limitation and can continue to be ripened?"

"Wouldn't that be able to create ancient old trees of more than 10,000 years? If it's applied to medicinal materials…" Chen Jue muttered in his heart when he saw this, and recorded this new discovery in his notebook.

Then he asked the Iron Golems to cut down all the ripened workshop wood, cut them into 15-meter-specification logs, and fill the trailers one after another.

When Old Shang, who went out, found a group of Russian drivers to start working on the spot, Chen Jue followed the convoy out of the mountain and returned to the residential house on the other side of Heihe.

He relied on digging tunnels to re-displace to China, ending this short, interesting, and exciting trip abroad.

...

Two days later in the afternoon.

The wood trading market in Manzhouli was bustling with people. A Hongqi business car suddenly drove into the crowded parking lot.

The door opened, and Chen Jue was seen clutching a few A4 paper printed lists, followed by Tie Lao Liu carrying a large bag on his back.

As for Old Shang, who is good at negotiation, he didn't come because the customs clearance procedures in Great Russia are more complicated and require his Russian expert to be responsible for following up and building relationships and contacts.

Therefore, Chen Jue, as the boss, reluctantly came here under the guise of taking a stroll on the Inner Mongolia prairie, and by the way, turned around the timber market.

You must know that Manzhouli is the largest wood distribution center in the country, carrying 70% of the country's wood trading volume, which is more vibrant than the slightly remote Heihe Port.

Wood traders and buyers from all over the country gather here, and large-scale exhibitions are held every few months.

Even in the hot afternoon, the venue was crowded with people, and there were business people looking at the materials everywhere.

Chen Jue took out a 'Red Star Trade' work permit and hung it on his chest. According to his previous door-to-door sales experience, after looking around, he found a booth of a company called 'Pengcheng Wood Industry Group' in the most popular core area of the venue.

"Hello, beautiful lady, please take a look at these varieties and specifications of logs. Does your group accept them?" Chen Jue handed a list to a delicate girl sitting at the booth.

"Red Star International Trade Company? Does your company import logs?" Zhang Chengcheng looked up at the work card on Chen Jue's chest and asked.

Originally, she, the daughter of Pengcheng Wood Industry Group, didn't need to come forward for this kind of crowded exhibition.

But she was forcibly escorted over by her old father Zhang Peng, saying that she should deal with customers more and see the world.

After dealing with a bunch of customers for half a day, she felt a little tired, so she sat down and planned to rest for a while and browse her phone.

Unexpectedly, not long after her butt just sat down, someone came to consult about business again.

Helpless, Zhang Chengcheng put on a pretty face and wanted to casually dismiss this kind of salesman wearing a work card.

But when she glanced at the specifications of those logs on the list, her eyelids jumped immediately, and she covered her cherry mouth and exclaimed: "Pine wood with a diameter of more than 80 centimeters? Such good large-diameter wood, can it still be seen these days?"

"Wait... Oh my god! Birch with a diameter of 50 centimeters? What treasure was found in this deep mountain!"

"Our family has been in the timber business for so many years, and we have never seen such a large-diameter birch on the market!"

"Dad! Come and take a look at this list!"
