Rebirth starts with small money

Chapter 528 Saving Your Life Is It Not Too Much To Squeeze You Out?

As a person born in the last year of the 70s, Chen Li actually missed several opportunities to get rich in his previous life.

For example ~ the famous monkey ticket!
Another example~ the more fried the more crazy orchids!

There is also the so-called sky-high price of ebony~!

If it is small, there are even a variety of comic strips, old books and newspapers, etc.

But to be honest~ Even though Chen Li has experienced these things at this point in time, in fact, he himself has no experience.

After all, Chen Li himself has never owned a monkey ticket or an orchid.

He has a lot of comic books, but it is a pity that the ones he can have are basically the ones with a large circulation, which are not worth much at all.

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

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

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.

This furniture was made by a poor carpenter in Erlong Town. Although the carpenter's skill is average, the materials used for this furniture of the Chen family are quite good.

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

If it was after 2008, it is estimated that just this set of furniture may be able to replace it with a big house in Huilong County.

Because since 2000, because the country promulgated a so-called mahogany standard, some domestic businessmen began to speculate on the so-called rare wood. Basically, after 2005, almost all of them were mahogany or golden nanmu. It has become a sky-high price.

It's a pity that the Chen family didn't seize this opportunity. The furniture of the Chen family had already been replaced due to damage and other reasons.

No way ~ after all, the Chen family at that time did not know the so-called mahogany and golden nanmu furniture ~ it would rise to that level later.

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

Even ~ before 2000, there was no such thing as the so-called Hainan huanghuali.

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

However, after the promulgation of the so-called standard in 2000, there are so-called sea yellow and Yue Huang.

As for the reason, basically everyone understands it!
In fact, those so-called experts definitely contributed to the reason why Haihuang came to the altar later.

It was these people who pushed the waves, and the so-called sea yellow was fired up to sky-high prices by a group of shrewd but unscrupulous merchants.

Say something funny~!

From about 05, Hainan huanghuali began to be wildly speculated, and the reason given at that time was that Hainan huanghuali was too rare and even on the verge of extinction.

But in fact~ Even before Chen Li was reborn, many furniture manufacturers were still selling sky-high prices of furniture made of so-called Hainan huanghuali.

You can guess~Where did the materials of these so-called Hainan Huanghuali furniture come from?

In fact, almost 95% of the so-called Hainan huanghuali furniture on the market at that time were made of Yuehuang materials.

The reason for this is the price gap between the two.

At the beginning, the price of Haihuang was only a few times different from that of Yuehuang.

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

And whose pockets did the profits go into?Anyway, it is impossible to get into the pockets of consumers, right?
How much are these profits?Chen Li definitely didn't know.

Don't talk about him~ Even Wei Shuanglin, an insider in the industry, actually doesn't know.

But Chen Li once heard a story from Wei Shuanglin, through which the so-called industry insider can be exposed a little bit.

It is said that from 2000 to 2002 in Chen Li's previous life, the price of Hainan huanghuali wood in the market was only 2 yuan per ton, and even aniseed wood was only about 6 yuan per ton.

For this price, the price has actually been raised several times.

To put it bluntly~ During this period of time, although the price of Hainan huanghuali has actually risen somewhat, it is still a normal phenomenon.

After all, some experts have proposed the so-called difference between sea yellow and yellower yellow, so the price increase is justified.

After 2002, Hainan huanghuali continued to rise all the way, but although the price has risen, it is not too outrageous.

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

By 2007, the price of sea yellow had risen to 2000 million a ton, and the price of aniseed had even risen to 5000 million a ton.

Further on~ It is said that at the peak, the price of sea yellow was even fired up to 9000 million per ton.

Even if the so-called inflation is removed, how big is the profit of Hainan huanghuali after its skyrocketing?
And in the story that Wei Shuanglin told Chen Li in his previous life, Wei Shuanglin stumbled here.

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

That was in 05, when the price of the so-called sea yellow had been raised.

Coincidentally ~ at that time Wei Shuanglin's furniture factory had more than eight tons of sea yellow wood that had been collected before.

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

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

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

And then no more!

You know~ If Wei Shuanglin hadn't sold the eight tons of sea yellow material at that time, he could have made at least tens of millions more if he waited until around 07 to sell it.

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

It is said that at that time Wei Shuanglin was planning to wait a little longer. It was his wife's sister and brother-in-law who kept nagging him to make a quick move.

In the end, Wei Shuanglin chose to sell at a price he thought was very high, but unexpectedly, he still lost his calculation.

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

It was also because Wei Shuanglin told Chen Li several times that Chen Li remembered this matter quite clearly.

And the one thing he remembers most clearly is that there are eight tons of Hainan huanghuali in Wei Shuanglin's furniture factory!

In fact, Chen Li didn't think of it before, it just so happened that his family came to Rongcheng to buy furniture~ Chen Li thought of such a thing in an instant.

Before Chen Li was reborn, he had saved Wei Shuanglin's life, but now Chen Li took a handful of Wei Shuanglin's wool. Isn't it too much?
Even in the year 2000, sea yellow material was regarded as a precious wood among the woods, but compared with the later ones, the degree of preciousness is completely different.

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

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

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

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

As for continuing to hoard Hainan huanghuali?Don't talk nonsense, it's only January 2000, and the country doesn't even have a so-called mahogany standard!
To put it bluntly~ those wood speculators at this time probably haven't hit the target of Hainan huanghuali yet.

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

So ~ after discussing the wood and materials with Chen Li, then it was Chen Li's mother ~ second mother ~ second aunt and even Liu Qingqing and her mother went into battle.

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

As for Chen Li and his father's second dad~even Mayor Liu Dazhen basically didn't have any say in this aspect.

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

The reason for being outside is naturally because this is a furniture factory, and smoking in the factory area is a relatively taboo thing.

"Little Li~!"

"You are also a boss now, are you interested in investing in Erlong Town?"

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

He said this ~ in fact, he was a little emotional, and the reason for this emotion was the large farm in the outskirts of Chengdu that he saw before.

It's just such a big farm~ To put it bluntly, the annual tax revenue is estimated to be higher than that of the current Erlong Town.

There's no way ~ the current Erlong Town actually has no financial revenue, and the annual financial budget is almost entirely dependent on the appropriation from the superiors.

There used to be a state-owned enterprise in Erlong Town~ but now that state-owned enterprise has gone bankrupt and is currently being liquidated.

So~ as the mayor of Erlong Town, Chen Li's future father-in-law is very anxious!
"invest?"

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

"Our Erlong Town. What can we invest in now?"

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

The expression on Chen Li's face was a bit serious, and this was probably the first time he faced Mayor Liu with this expression.

Without him~ He is really disappointed with this old man~!

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

But something disappointing happened!

The asphalt road from Erlong Town to the county seat ~ In just over a year, quality problems appeared in many places.

To be honest~ that is, this is Liu Qingqing's father, otherwise Chen Li would probably have to ask if the other party embezzled the corresponding funds.

And~ it's not even just this path that's having problems.

Last year~ Chen Li was "defrauded" by the system Xiaomeng for a total of more than 5000 million US dollars, and later Chen Li learned that Xiaomeng donated the money to the Hope Project.

At that time, Hope Engineering was going to report it, but because Chen Li didn't want to show up, he pushed the matter to Red Pony Technology and Ma Xiaoyun.

For this reason, Ma Xiaoyun donated a total of 200 million US dollars to Huilong County in the name of the individual and the company.

And out of the 200 million US dollars~ a full 50 US dollars was specified to be donated to Erlong Town.

50 U.S. dollars~ Converted into Huaxia currency, it is about [-] million, although this is not a big number for a large organization like the government.

But for a small place like Erlong Town, more than 400 million yuan is enough to do a lot of things.

As long as this Mayor Liu understands some economic construction and makes some changes according to the geographical environment of Erlong Town and the local development situation, I dare not say that the more than 400 million yuan will have much effect, but it will promote the development of Erlong Town on a small scale. Economic construction. Still no problem.

For example, relying on the Erlong River to carry out fish farming?
Another example~ According to the local environment of Erlong Town, support other animal husbandry and so on.

The geographical environment of Erlong Town is indeed not good. First of all, the traffic is a big problem, but if some economic construction is only aimed at Huilong or even a few surrounding counties, it is actually a bit messy.

But these things that even Chen Li could see, seemed to be beyond the imagination of Mayor Liu.

Of course~Chen Li knows that the government affairs department does things~it is definitely impossible to do whatever he wants like himself.

But~ no matter how you think about it, it is impossible to throw all the more than 400 million yuan into the silk factory that is on the verge of bankruptcy, right?
Even Chen Li from his previous life knew that the silk factory in Erlong town was rotten from the root, and the only way out for that factory was bankruptcy and liquidation.

But this mayor Liu didn't know whether he was mentally ill or what, he just threw all the more than 400 million yuan into the silk factory.

Yes~ This silk factory located in Erlong Town used to have its glory.

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

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

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

Employees resigned from resignation ~ laid-off laid-off, although there are still about a hundred people left, but it can be said that people are scattered from the management level to the grassroots employees.

At this time, Mayor Liu Da tried to reproduce the former glory of this enterprise, which was simply a dream.

More than 400 million yuan was spent, and it took more than half a year for this factory to spend all the money, and then... there is no more.

Now ~ this former star enterprise 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 himself, the future father-in-law, a good face for the first time.

Mayor Liu Da knew he was wrong, he looked at Chen Li's expression, and his own face drooped instantly.

He took a sip of the cigarette in his hand, threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stomped on it, finally.
"Hey~ I can't help it either!"
