my dream forest

Chapter 505 Mountain Fire
Chapter 504

This OPEC-like forum includes the world's major spice suppliers.They are tied together in fact to form a price monopoly, the purpose of course is to pursue high profits.

But Feng's wood industry has its own output, and it is backed by the huge domestic market, so there is really no need to put a shackle around its neck.

"Let's go, go back to the hotel to pick up Jingjing and the others, and let's go shopping in Paris. If shopping is no longer interesting, let's leave Paris and visit some prestigious wineries. Well, it's not bad to buy some red wine to take back."

Feng Tiance was not going to attend the two-day report meeting.The third day was a closed-door meeting, which was the time for their official member units to discuss the middle price, and it had nothing to do with him.Therefore, he only needs to attend the auction on the fourth day and the signing meeting on the morning of the fifth day.

"Okay, boss. By the way, I just sent me the meeting schedule. There is a dinner party on the fifth night, shall we attend?"

Jiang Shaobo's purpose is for the auction and the signing ceremony. As for the dinner, it depends on Feng Tiance's intention.

"We'll talk about it then, get in the car and leave."

Feng Tiance only thought that he was out on a trip by himself, and he didn't bother to think about the fifth day now.

In the next few days, Feng Tiance did not go to the exhibition center.

He took Lin Xiaojing for a walk all day, and then went to several famous wineries.But it is a pity that the output of these top wineries is very scarce every year.Moreover, red wine also needs to be of a certain age to have good quality. You can't buy it just by going there, and you also need to make a reservation.

He couldn't buy the 82-year-old Lafite, so he ordered a batch of relatively short-year red wine from several second-tier wineries.Anyway, he will throw these wines on the island in the middle of the lake in the future. He doesn't believe that the red wine from the second-level winery that has been cellared for 70 years will not taste good?
While he was leisurely selecting red wine at the winery, the closed-door meeting in the convention center was also going on.

"Everyone, last year Southeast Asia was generally hit by drought, and it is certain that agarwood production will be reduced in a large area. Therefore, when setting the middle price this year, I hope that this factor can be considered more. In my personal opinion, the price should be raised by at least 50.00%."

When it was King Suleiman's turn to speak, his attitude was firm.That is a price increase, a substantial price increase.

Although everyone wants high profits, the market also has its own rigid side.This middle price cannot be divorced from reality, otherwise problems will arise.

Therefore, King Suleiman's opinion did not arouse everyone's enthusiastic response. On the contrary, many people felt that the price was a bit inflated.

"Ahem, let me tell you something. I personally think that this price is not appropriate, it is a bit high. On the surface, it seems that the high price is beneficial to us, but this matter needs to be analyzed in detail. If the price is falsely high, then wait until the market corrects itself It will be extremely violent. To put it bluntly, once the price plummets, it will collapse. Otherwise, the price will hover at a low level for the next few years. I don’t think King Suleiman’s reason for raising the price is not sufficient!”

Someone stood up and voiced a clear objection.

What followed was a fierce debate, with some supporting and some opposing, but King Suleiman never spoke again.There was a smile of unknown meaning on the corner of his mouth, and he looked very calm.

The closed-door debate stage lasted the day, and voting will begin after dinner.

King Suleiman didn't even take a bite of dinner, so he sat quietly in the corner alone.He was waiting for news, a news that would give him victory tonight.

Cambodia, Southeast Mountains.

No. [-] forest farm has only fifty people left on duty since New Year's Day.Most of them are engaged in daily maintenance work, and eight of them are security personnel transferred from the security department by the head office.

At night, there are fifteen people on the night shift, four security personnel, and the rest are ordinary workers.

Today, there are four people on the night shift that Basong asked Mu En'an to insert into the forest farm.

The workers on the day shift had already left in the commuter car, and the dinner was ready, but when the meal was served, it was found that there were four people missing.

At first, some people thought they were sleeping in the dormitory, so they sent someone to call, but the dormitory was also empty.

When everyone didn't know what was going on, thick smoke suddenly rose from the depths of the forest farm, and after a while, the red flames illuminated half of the sky.

Just looking at the direction, you can tell that the agarwood forest is on fire!

"No, the mountain is on fire! Hurry up and report to the top. The security personnel will follow me to have a look, and the rest of the people are going to retreat."

The person in charge of the security work was relatively clear-headed. After a series of orders were issued, everyone acted immediately without thinking about eating.

If the fire on the mountain is relatively small, you can organize everyone to fight the fire.If the fire is very strong in a short period of time, you can't rush into the fire scene rashly.Don't lose a lot of people if the fire is not extinguished by then.

However, today's weather is a bit bad, the wind is relatively strong, and the wildfire may spread soon.

Qi Xiuyuan and Zhang Youcai received the report immediately, and Li Yucheng who was hiding in a secret place also received the news.

Immediately, Li Yucheng rushed into the place where Ba Song was being held in a threatening manner, and slapped him severely as soon as he met him.

"What the hell, I said, why are you so honest, call when you want to call, and say whatever you want to say. It turns out that you are going to set fire! Dog, how can this mountain fire be so easy to extinguish? You are Do you want to burn down the entire Southeast Mountain Range? Kill you!"

Li Yucheng was puzzled, went up and kicked a few more times.

"Call your master, I'm going to record the call. At that time, none of you should try to run away, someone will punish you. Be honest, don't play tricks!"

Later, the frowning Li Yucheng warned Basong again.

Basong took the phone and dialed it. When the other end just picked up, he only said three words, "Success." Then he hung up the phone immediately.

"Recording, you're thinking too much. After it's done, the other side won't believe this codeword if you say a word more." Basong was not afraid at this time, and there was even a strong sense of sarcasm in his tone. "I did what you asked, without any manipulation."

"You! You are really cunning."

Li Yucheng's expression changed, and he went up to punch and kick again.When he was tired, he walked out of the room helplessly.

In Paris, King Suleiman also received the news.

"Hey, it worked!"

He slowly walked out from the corner, with an indescribable calmness and confidence on his face.The fire in the southeastern mountains of Cambodia was burning well enough to destroy most of Feng Tiance's production of agarwood.

"Everyone, I just received news that a forest fire broke out in the main producing area of ​​agarwood in Cambodia. Now, the supply of agarwood this year is in short supply. I propose that the median price of agarwood this year be increased by 70.00%."

King Suleiman had the confidence to turn on his laptop simultaneously while speaking.There are many news on the Internet about the forest fire in the main producing area of ​​agarwood in Cambodia's Bodhisattva Province, with pictures. This news can't be truer.

The picture was projected onto a large screen in the conference room, and everyone who voted tonight fell silent.

Of course, it doesn't matter whether this matter is checked or not, because Feng's Wood Industry has not reported the production of agarwood for the New Year at all so far.In other words, the formulation of the middle price did not take into account the factors of Feng's wood industry.

However, this incident became the last straw that broke the camel's back. The vote passed smoothly, and the median price of all agarwood rose by 50.00% in the New Year.

King Suleiman's plan to raise the price by 70.00% failed. The 50.00% price increase was actually his expectation, so he had the joy of a successful plot.

Feng Tiance returned to Paris the morning after the middle price was set.It's impossible for him not to know about the fire in No. [-] forest farm, but it's useless to rush back now. Anyway, Qi Xiuyuan is sitting in the forest farm and there will be no big trouble.

But his mood will still be affected to some extent. For example, he was a little absent-minded when he participated in the auction.Most of the time, he sat there silently, and he only bought a small amount of ambergris in the whole auction.

Ambergris is a solid waxy combustible substance with a weight ranging from a few kilograms to tens of kilograms and a strong fishy smell.After drying, it can emit a long-lasting aroma, which is even more fragrant after being lit.Ambergris is rare and lasts a long time, and is more precious than gold, so it is known as "floating gold on the sea".

This spice is actually the secretion of the sperm whale, because it cannot digest the coracoid of the squid and octopus, it will be solidified with the secretion in the intestine and then excreted.Freshly expelled ambergris is black and soft, with an unpleasant smell, but it will harden, fade and emit fragrance after being washed by sunlight, air and sea water for many years. It can be used as medicine, incense, and perfume.

At present, there are fewer and fewer sperm whales in the world, so the annual turnover of ambergris around the world is between [-] and [-] kilograms, which is extremely precious.

For example, the piece of ambergris that Feng Tiance bought weighs almost three kilograms, but it cost 210 million US dollars.Almost every gram is worth around $[-].

He also sold two items himself, a top-quality bodhisattva agarwood, and a handicraft carved from old sandalwood.The auction price was slightly lower than he estimated, but it was more than enough to offset the purchase of ambergris.

On the last day of the signing meeting, Feng Tiance also brought Jiang Shaobo to the scene.Of course, he is not a member unit, and he is not qualified to sign a contract, but look at the head office, right?
"Tiance, in fact, you should report the output. In this way, you will definitely become a member unit, and you won't have to worry about sales for the next two years. And there is another advantage. Signing contracts here is a two-year contract. You Naturally, you don’t have to worry about the ups and downs of the price. Hey!”

In the past few days, Feng Tiance didn't have time to visit Liang Hongbo, so he purposely found Mr. Liang at the signing meeting.

Liang Hongbo introduced his son Liang Jue to Feng Tiance, and then he was a little worried about Feng Tiance's waywardness.

"Father, there is something I haven't had time to tell you. Well, a forest fire broke out in the main agarwood producing area of ​​Bodhisattva Province the day before yesterday, and it is said that the damage was relatively large."

Liang Jue and Feng Tiance couldn't say how warm they were when they met for the first time, but he was still grateful to Feng Tiance for saving his mother's life.That's why he reminded Liang Hongbo vaguely.

"What? Tiance, did the forest fire affect you?"

Liang Hongbo has now handed over most of the management to his son, so he was so surprised when he heard the news.

"Well, the mountain fire started in my forest farm. However, the fire has been extinguished now, and the loss has not yet been counted. It is estimated that it is not very serious."

Feng Tiance could see that Liang Hongbo really cared about him, but it was inconvenient to tell others the truth at this time, so he could only vaguely describe it.

Liang Hongbo nodded, guessing that Feng Tiance's loss this time must not be small.But this topic is a bit heavy, so he stopped the topic.

After chatting for a while, Feng Tiance took Jiang Shaobo to leave.Liang's Wood Industry still has a lot of contracts to sign, so they can't delay other people's business.

"Mr. Feng, I heard that your agarwood plantation base was destroyed by a wildfire? What a pity. I said why you have been reluctant to report the production for so long. It turns out that you have a hunch! I admire it."

Feng Tiance was taken aback by this person who appeared out of nowhere, looking at this annoying face, he was a little impressed, what is this person's name?

"Your humble Yuan Bicheng, you must remember my son Yuan Feng, right?"

It turns out that this person is Yuan Bicheng from the Yuan family!Thinking back to when the Yuan family followed King Suleiman to suppress Feng Tiance, they suffered heavy losses in the subsequent Chen Xiang battle, so they did not expect to meet this guy.

"Hehe, it's Yuan Feng's father, Yuan Bicheng, I don't know him!"

Feng Tiance smiled coldly, guessing that the Yuan family was still acting as lackeys for King Suleiman.So he didn't have a good face, he turned his head and left.The current Yuan family has long been out of his sight.Even the master of the Yuan family, King Suleiman, was not timid.

Yuan Bicheng was despised by others, but he didn't feel much anger in his heart.He knew that the current Feng Tiance was terrible, and he didn't even have the qualifications to be an opponent.

But so what?A wildfire, not to mention bankrupting you, will at least damage your strength, right?Let's see how you will fight King Su in the future.

"Boss, shall we continue to turn around?"

Jiang Shaobo didn't know the truth, he was very anxious, wishing he could go back to Cambodia immediately.He had this proposal yesterday, but unfortunately the boss ignored him.

"Turn around, it's so lively here. Let's go, let's see how many contracts the King of Agarwood has signed."

There was a sign of Wang's Wood Industry over there, and the signing stage was overcrowded. Needless to say, the Suleiman Wang family's business was very good.

Perhaps some people deserved to be rivals for life. King Suleiman, who was signing the autograph, suddenly felt something, and saw Feng Tiance as soon as he looked up.

King Suleiman put down the pen, got up and walked over.Today he signed the contract softly, and the high returns for the next two years have already been obtained, which is the time for him to be in high spirits.

"Mr. Feng, my condolences! No matter how great the loss is, it's lucky that everyone is fine."

"King Su, thank you for your concern! I really don't care about this little loss."

"Hehe, let's see who can have the last laugh?"

"Okay, let's see then."

After saying these few words, King Suleiman returned to the signing table.And Feng Tiance took Jiang Shaobo out of the exhibition center.
