"Don't talk nonsense. Our logs all have formal procedures. All the procedures for logging and selling are complete. You can just check the logs with their numbers. Everything is legal."
Chen Baoguo knows what they are worried about. Isn't it that these woods are too precious? Many of them are protected species, but here, they are sold for money.
He had asked Zhuo Qun about this issue before and directly provided him with legal certificates for all the timber. The timber was traceable from source to transportation.
Everyone heard that it was legal, so there was nothing to worry about. I bought hundreds of logs in one go, all preparing to build furniture and ornaments.
It takes a few years for such good wood to come out in the small countries in Southeast Asia, and the quality is not as good as it is here. The quality here is of the highest quality, and you can choose it at will like a vegetable market.
Those who had money just took a few logs, and those who didn't have enough money borrowed money to get one. Even if they don't use these logs, they can still be sold for money.
Before leaving, Chen Baoguo hoped that these stubborn people would introduce some people to buy, and everyone agreed.
It took more than a month to sell out all the logs, and people still came every day to ask if there were any more logs.
Chen Baoguo politely told those people that now the boss just wanted to test the waters, and there would be more in the future, so he persuaded those people to quit.
Chen Baoguo found Zhuo Qun with tens of billions of after-tax income in his hands. In the past, tens of billions of income would have made Zhuo Qun excited for a long time, but now, he has spent hundreds of dollars, and the money is A series of numbers, those materials are real things.
Now Zhuo Qun is a rag collector, but the things he collects are various inventory materials, which are collected according to warehouses.
The inventory purchased from the warehouse became a hot commodity when it was delivered to the Northern Song Dynasty. Zhuo Qun now flies back and forth to Zhuxia every day, constantly buying these overstocked goods.
Li Chang also joined the census team, flying around the country to find state-owned enterprises that could be rescued, so that Zhuo Qun could rescue them.
Zhuo Qun now uses RMB to hire people from the Northern Song Dynasty to work for him, and also purchases inventory goods and overstocked materials from modern times to increase the richness of the Northern Song Dynasty market.
Everything used was only RMB. Those rich and powerful people would not go to work to make money. They could only exchange their family property for money, but it was not cost-effective, so they started looking for ways to make money everywhere. Finally, the big people in the Central Plains region decided to go together. Go farm, because Zhuo Qun's exchange office has begun to collect grain. It costs one yuan per kilogram and can be purchased in unlimited quantities.
Now large households in the entire Central Plains region have begun to grow food, using modern high-yielding seeds, because the exchange said they would only accept food produced from these seeds.
People in other places in the Northern Song Dynasty saw the changes in Kaifeng Mansion, and they have been imitating Kaifeng. If they wanted to imitate before, many people could not imitate, and it was not easy to imitate, but now it is different and something else is It's hard to learn, but the RMB can be used. This can be considered to be in line with Kaifeng.
In this way, the circulation speed of RMB was far faster than the advance speed of Sima's construction army. Now even the land of Bashu began to circulate RMB. Now the economy of the Northern Song Dynasty was completely under the control of Zhuo Qun.
As for the copper coins used before the Northern Song Dynasty, they began to be thrown in large quantities to neighboring countries, and the copper coins were used to exchange for materials from other countries, such as gold from the Japanese country, grain from the Champa, cattle and sheep from the Liao Kingdom, and jewelry from Da Shi. , everything is coming towards the Northern Song Dynasty, starting from the Northern Song Dynasty and flowing into the hands of Zhuo Qun, and then starting to flow from the hands of Zhuo Qun to the market of Zhuxia.
Zhuo Qun also purchases pollution-free grains, cattle and sheep, Yangtze River delicacies, Yellow River carps, wild hairy crabs, various green foods and rare wild ingredients. As for the prices, they are all very conscientious. , cattle and sheep are purchased for five yuan a pound, fish, shrimps and crabs are not worth much, just one yuan a pound. Those fishermen are grateful to the exchange office.
These collected ingredients also passed through Zhuo Qun's hands and began to appear in large and small high-end hotels and private kitchens in the capital city. Of course, it was not Zhuo Qun who sold them. Zhuo Qun found someone in the catering circle. He Yuzhu, let him sell it.
He Yuzhu initially said that he did not want to sell, and he knew and had connections with the chief, so he was not afraid of Zhuo Qun causing trouble for him.
As a result, Zhuo Qun called the chief executive whom He Yuzhu knew with just one phone call. The chief executive asked He Yuzhu to cooperate with Zhuo Qun on the spot to sell the ingredients.
Even though they are just ingredients, they still cost a lot of money. After all, many people risk their lives just for a bite to eat.
When He Yuzhu first started selling Yangtze River delicacies, wild pufferfish almost killed people. But it was not the diners, but the chef of Fengzeyuan who made pufferfish.
The stuffed pufferfish was found when He Yuzhu was selling carp to them. He Yuzhu also studied cooking at Fengzeyuan back then. He was too embarrassed to refute others, so he could only sell two to him.
When He Yuzhu told him that it was wild pufferfish, the cook didn't care. But when he thought about it, there were still wild pufferfish everywhere. They were artificially bred pufferfish with low toxicity. They just needed to be handled with care.
The cook thought so and did so. After finishing the puffer fish, the fragrance filled the entire Fengze Garden. At this time, all the cooks and diners from inside and outside came in.
Everyone in the room was staring at the pot of stewed puffer fish, and their mouths were watering with greed.
"Hey kid, how many years have you been a puffer fish?"
He Yuzhu tilted his head and looked at the cook.
"Do you know the rules? Do you know what to do if you become a puffer fish?"
With a snap, the tasting bowls and chopsticks were placed in front of the cook.
"Everyone is here today. The rules of the puffer fish chef are to taste it yourself first. If it is not dead for half an hour, the guests can eat it. Boy, please buy insurance. If you buy it, you can eat it."
He Yuzhu patted the table and said.
"What's the meaning?"
The cook asked, looking at the bowls and chopsticks in front of him.
"You are the cook and the eater. You eat first. If it doesn't matter for half an hour, you can continue eating."
"You scared me?"
"I'm not scaring you. I told you, this is a wild puffer fish. You bought it for yourself. You said you have a puffer fish chef certificate and you can handle it, right? I'll just watch it here. How did you die? You didn’t even process the pufferfish’s ovaries, liver, kidneys, blood, eye gills, and skin. You still want to eat it. Are you a cook?”
He Yuzhu put his left hand in his pocket and pointed his right hand at the boy's nose to curse.
"Bring a cat here and try the poison."
He Yuzhu shouted to the cook beside him.
The cook yelled and went out to catch a cat.
He Yuzhu didn't say anything and just fed the pufferfish to the cat.
The cat ate very happily and started twitching within a few minutes of eating.
