Wan An Ning did not say that he could eat so many logs.

She pretended to be in deep thought for a while and said, "Mrs. Zhong, can I ask the price of a square meter of log?"

"This……"

Zhong Dashan's wife hesitated for a moment and looked in the direction of Zhong Dashan.

At this time, Zhong Dashan was already drunk on the table, but he secretly made a gesture where Wan An Ning and Su Ruyi could not see.

Zhong Dashan's wife got the hint and immediately smiled: "Why can't you ask this? To tell you the truth, the price agreed upon by our forest farm and the timber company is 360 yuan per square meter. If you can consume the logs from the forest farm for a year, we will still give you the same price."

Wan An Ning was shocked. Compared with the price of logs in their hometown, this price was ridiculously low!

Su Ruyi had just added a peanut and was about to put it in her mouth. When she heard the price, her hand trembled and the peanut fell directly...

Suppressing the excitement in their hearts, the two looked at each other and both felt that they had definitely made a profit at this price!

However, for the sake of caution, the two did not agree immediately, but hesitated for a moment: "Can we take a look at the logs first?"

Hearing this, Zhong Lin put the bowl on the table and nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, eat quickly, and I'll take you to the warehouse after you finish eating!"

Wan An Ning and Su Ruyi had almost finished eating. They picked up their bowls and drank the last mouthful of porridge. Then they stood up, put on their military coats, locomotive hats and cotton gloves, and followed Zhong Lin out.

The forest farm covers a large area. Wan Anning and Su Ruyi followed Zhong Lin and walked for more than 20 minutes, taking one step forward and one step back, until they finally arrived at a large iron gate.

Zhong Lin went forward and knocked on the door, then shouted loudly: "Grandpa Zhang, open the door! It's me, Zhong Lin!"

After a while, the iron gate opened from the inside, and an old man wrapped very tightly stuck his head out from inside: "Linzi, how did you get here?"

He looked at Zhong Lin's hands and saw that he had nothing, and a hint of disappointment appeared on his face.

He smacked his lips and said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "I thought you were bringing me New Year's gifts!"

Zhong Lin also knew that the people in the forest farm were looking forward to receiving New Year's goods, but it was useless. The timber company was not a good person. His father was the person in charge of the forest farm, but he couldn't pay for New Year's goods for more than 100 people out of his own pocket, right?

"It's still a long way to go before the Chinese New Year. Why are you in such a hurry to get the New Year's goods? I sent them to you a long time ago. If you eat them now, you won't have any for the Chinese New Year!"

Old Zhang smiled and said nothing.

He was guarding the logs here, so he naturally knew that the timber company had not shipped any logs out since last month. There were now about forty or fifty cubic meters of logs piled up in the warehouse.

These logs cannot be shipped out before the Chinese New Year, let alone New Year's goods, even their wages at the end of the year are a big problem!

"Linzi, if you're not here to bring me New Year's gifts, then why are you here in such a cold weather?"

Zhong Lin was still unsure whether Wan An Ning and the other two really wanted to buy, so he didn't tell Old Zhang the truth. Instead, he laughed and said, "These two are my friends. They came to play with me. I brought them to see the logs in our forest farm!"

Old Zhang moved aside to let the three of them in.

"You guys go and see it yourself. It's so cold, I won't go with you."

After he said this, he walked into the house hunched over.

"Come on, I'll take you there to have a look!"

Zhong Lin led the two to the piles of logs and introduced them one by one: "Here are the most red pine and white pine, over there are not many birches. There are also mountain elm and ash, which are all hardwoods. There are not many of them, and they are all 3.6 meters long..."

Wan An Ning looked at the mountains of logs and smelled the fresh wood fragrance. Although they all looked good, she really didn't know much about the quality of the wood.

She turned her gaze to Su Ruyi: "What do you think?"

Su Ruyi nodded: "Okay, these woods are really great, much better than the wood we collected over there!"

After that, he lowered his voice to the lowest level: "Not only is the quality good, the price is also low, only 360 yuan per cubic meter. The quality over there is not even that good, at least more than 1 yuan per cubic meter!"

Wan An Ning nodded: "Then let's just eat all the goods in this forest farm!"

"I thought so too. The logs here are really cheap, and there are a lot of hardwoods. It's really a bargain! And I tell you, even if we can't use all of them, we can still make a lot of money by reselling them!"

"Okay, since you think so, then it's decided. After we get back, we'll sign an agreement with Zhong Dashan, and then find a wagon to transport these logs back..."

After coming out of the log warehouse, Wan An Ning asked Zhong Lin: "What's this New Year's goods you guys keep talking about?"

From Zhong Lin's words, it can be seen that they were having some unpleasant disputes with the original timber company because of the New Year's goods.

She hadn't asked about this before because she wasn't sure whether to cooperate. Now that she has decided to cooperate, she naturally wants to ask clearly.

We must always know the reasons for the unhappiness between the two parties so that we can learn from it in the future.

When Zhong Lin mentioned this, he was filled with resentment: "When the timber company found our forest farm, they promised that in addition to the normal payment for the timber, every December, the timber company would send a New Year's gift to every household in the forest farm..."

"My father said that even if they didn't give us the New Year's goods, the forest farm would still be willing to cooperate with them. But since they promised to give us the goods and have given us the goods for several years in a row, I don't know why they suddenly went crazy this year and asked us to lower the price of logs and not give us the New Year's goods..."

"There is a lot of resentment in the forest farm right now, some against the timber company, and some against my father. My father is so worried that he can't eat or sleep. Don't you want to buy logs? It just so happens that we have the best logs here. You won't lose money if you transport them back!"

Wan An Ning thought for a moment: "What kind of New Year gifts were distributed in previous years? How much are they worth?"

When Zhong Lin heard her ask this, he was immediately delighted. Does this mean there is hope for cooperation?

"Actually, there's nothing valuable here, just some pork, rice, sugar, oil, etc..."

Wan An Ning listened and realized that these were indeed not rare things and could be bought as long as one had money.

"How about this, Brother Zhong Lin, please make a list when you go back. Find out what you need to buy, how much you need, and how much it will cost...

Regardless of whether the cooperation can be successful or not, we cannot let the people in the forest farm vent their anger on your father. We will pay for the New Year's goods first!"

Of course, Wan An Ning's words sound nice, but if the cooperation really fails, she will definitely not be stupid enough to be the scapegoat.

However, since both parties are willing, cooperation will naturally come naturally.
