"The right to trade timber?" Dutt was a little confused. "Mr. Zhu, can you elaborate?"
Zhu Yu smiled and said:
"I didn't say it very clearly, but to explain, I need you to exchange a certain amount of wood in your territory for this snake."
"How much wood will it cost?" Dutt's face immediately became much more relaxed when he heard that it was going to be replaced with wood.
He was also afraid that the Zhu Yu Lion would open his mouth and offer a price that would cause him physical pain.
But if it is replaced with wood, Dutt really doesn't have to worry.
There is really countless wood in the territory, and Dutt does not expect to make money with this wood.
Now that you can exchange wood for the snake god, that's a really good deal.
"How much wood do you think your snake god can withstand?" Zhu Yu asked instead without answering.
"Ten... ten thousand?" Dut tentatively reported a number.
Dutt had no idea about the amount of wood in his territory.
Think about the size of your jungle, with millions of logs in it.
As for the value of that wood - what is the value of the wood? It grows every day, just like grass, so worthless!
If you can exchange 10,000 pieces of wood for the snake god, then you will really make a lot of money.
"10,000?" Zhu Yu waved his hand and said, "Don't you think the number is a bit small?"
"Then it's 50,000, no more." Dutt's mental range is within 100,000.
As long as it doesn't exceed this number, he thinks it's fine.
Anyway, the wood in the jungle grows every year, and it really doesn't matter to him whether it's more or less.
Moreover, he only gave the number of logs. As for how to cut them and transport them out, that had nothing to do with him.
"Okay, just fifty thousand." Zhu Yu said generously, "Just like making a friend, I'll give you this friendship price. But you have to help me with the export procedures for these woods."
"This is no problem, but I don't care about the felling and transportation of the wood." Dut turned into a shrewd businessman at this time, bargaining with Zhu Yu.
"You don't have to worry about it. As long as there are export procedures, I will transport it to the southern port." Zhu Yu said, "There will be ships to take away the wood."
"Of course that's the best." Dut said noncommittally, "Do you want to ship it to China by sea?"
"No, no, no, I have a big island in Southeast Asia. I will transport it to the island. My island is not smaller than yours."
Zhu Yu "unintentionally" showed off his strength, which really made Dut a little scared.
Ordinary Chinese people and Chinese people who can own a big island have different influence on Dutt.
"Okay, do we need to sign a contract?" Dutt asked, "This will be more formal."
"Of course." Zhu Yu responded, "I will not be responsible for this matter at that time. My people will come over with the contract to hand over and cut down the trees here. I hope Mr. Dutt will be able to make it easier then."
"That's definitely no problem." Seeing that the deal was concluded and the snake god was about to be obtained, Dutt was in a very happy mood:
"Can I take a look at the snake now?"
"certainly!"
Zhu Yu took Dut to know Ran Jie's room.
"Ran Jie, take out the snake and show it to Mr. Dutt."
"Okay, wait a moment." Ran Jie took out a bottle from his bag, "This snake has quite a lot of vitality. It hasn't eaten well in the past few days, but it is full of energy."
Seeing the aggrieved snake god put in a bottle, Dutt blinked his eyes and wanted to get angry but couldn't find a reason to get angry.
He took the bottle and looked at the two-headed green snake carefully.
Sure enough, both the snake head and body were exactly the same as the snake god worshiped at home.
After the snake saw Dutt, the two snake heads looked at him together.
With four snake eyes staring at Dutt, I felt the indifference in the eyes and the contempt of a superior looking down on a inferior.
Although the two-headed green snake was inside the bottle at this time, judging from his gaze, it seemed that Dutt was imprisoned and not the snake.
"Mr. Zhu, let's sign the agreement now." Dutt couldn't bear the look, and immediately turned his head and said decisively to Zhu Yu:
"I can't wait to get this deal done."
"Okay, I hope so."
Zhu Yu was also very happy.
Fifty thousand logs!
There are many precious woods in this jungle, especially nanmu and rosewood.
Even if half, no, one-third of them are these relatively precious woods, Zhu Yu can bring down the price of this kind of wood in the world!
Moreover, there are more than two precious tree species in the jungle: nanmu and rosewood.
Based on Dutt's words, Zhu Yue is basically certain that he will occupy a place in the international timber market.
He can't wait for Pulanlan to establish a wood processing base on the big island.
It's better to do this kind of thing on a big island.
There are still many restrictions in China recently, but on the big island, you have the final say.
Dutt couldn't wait to sign the contract with Zhu Yu and used his private seal. Zhu Yu also happily asked Ran Jie to hand over the snake to Dutt.
The procedures for this transaction are considered completed.
"Boss, how many things have you replaced with this snake?" Ran Jie asked curiously in the room.
"No more, no more." Zhu Yu said with a smile.
"It should be a lot, right?" Ran Jie was a little unconvinced, "I think Dutt attaches great importance to the snake."
"I changed the wood," Zhu Yu gestured.
"Five hundred square meters?" Ran Jie guessed.
"Roots, here wood uses roots."
"500? It's quite a bargain." Ran Jie was not ignorant. She knew that there was a lot of good wood in this.
"Guess again." Zhu Yu smiled.
"5,000?" Ran Jie was a little surprised, "Isn't it a bit exaggerated?"
"Add another zero." Zhu Yu said with a smile, "You underestimated the importance of this snake to them!"
"I'll go!" Ran Jie's mouth opened wide, "This snake can be exchanged for a billionaire! There are a lot of precious woods in the jungle!"
Zhu Yu smiled proudly and said nothing.
"I'm sorry we have been searching in the jungle for more than half a month, but the treasures we found are not as valuable as this snake!" Ran Jie sighed, "Now I know, you don't have to focus on precious metals to make money. It’s a specialty product, so making money is really fast!”
Although it still takes a process to convert the wood into money, Ran Jie doesn't think this will be a problem for the boss.
Dutt held the bottle and walked carefully to his bedroom. Tomoko Haruta, who couldn't wait for a long time, stopped him halfway.
"Dute, I have something to talk to you about." Tomoko Haruta saw the snake in the bottle. She also knew that Zhu Yu had caught the snake, but she didn't think the snake was very precious.
Isn't it just a deformed species? It can be exchanged for tens of thousands of dollars at most, right?
But this Zhu Yu is really good at business. Selling this to Dutt will definitely not be cheap.
Of course, what Tomoko Haruta thinks is not cheap is just tens of thousands of dollars.
"If you have anything to do, can we talk about it tomorrow?" Dutt had just received the divine snake and was in a good mood. He said to Tomoko Haruta patiently, "I have more important things to do now..."
"What important thing? Is it just to settle this snake?" Haruta Tomoko said jokingly. In her impression, what important thing could Dut have? Either enjoying or enjoying is enjoying, living and drinking, as if never worrying about money.
"Of course." Dutt felt that Zhu Yu was invited by Haruta Tomoko, and the relationship between the two parties should be closer. Zhu Yu knew his relationship with the snake god, so there was no reason for Haruta Tomoko not to know, so he said:
"This is our snake god... more important than anything else!"
When Dutt said this, Tomoko Haruta was a little surprised, and then she paid attention and asked tentatively:
"Then...did you buy it from Zhu Yu? How much did it cost?"
Tomoko Haruta was a little puzzled when she saw Zhu Yu trying hard to bring the snake back.
Although this snake has two heads and is relatively rare, it is basically certain to be the culprit of that snake disaster.
If you don't kill something like this as soon as possible, will it cause another snake disaster?
But it was Zhu Yu who saved her during the snake disaster. If it hadn't been for Zhu Yu, Tomoko Haruta would have died in the jungle long ago.
So she respected Zhu Yu's decision, including bringing the snake back.
This doesn't mean that she won't complain about Zhu Yu's behavior in private.
But now that Dutt attaches so much importance to this snake, Haruta Tomoko understands why Zhu Yu did what he did at that time.
"It didn't cost anything." Dutt said patiently, "Zhu Yu doesn't want money. I actually wanted to trade my share of the treasure, but Zhu said he didn't need it."
Dutt’s share of the treasure is worth at least hundreds of thousands of dollars!
The items taken out of the hole were worth hundreds of thousands, and the items found in the old monk's bedroom were also quite a lot, adding up to nearly a million dollars.
One point for Dutt’s part is a lot!
Zhu Yu didn't even take a fancy to it!
Tomoko Haruta suddenly felt that what Dut was holding was much more expensive than the golden snake!
She asked a little cautiously:
"Then what does Zhu Yu want?"
If you don’t want money, you will only want something more precious.
"Wood, what he wants is wood." Dutt felt that there was no need to hide this transaction. Zhu Yu would definitely say it anyway:
"I exchanged 50,000 pieces of wood for this divine snake... Okay, the divine snake is impatient. I'm going to settle it first. If you have any questions, we'll talk about it tomorrow!"
After saying that, Dut hurried back to the bedroom. He really saw the impatience in the snake's eyes!
Tomoko Haruta stood there with her mouth wide open.
Fifty thousand logs!
Although Dutt didn't specify what kind of wood it was, if you think about it with your toes, Zhu Yu wouldn't choose ordinary worthless wood!
After a long time, Tomoko Haruta walked back in despair. She really couldn't understand that after working so hard for so long, all she got in the end was just a few hundred thousand dollars.
Zhu Yu just followed him around, caught a random snake, and exchanged it for wood worth hundreds of millions!
Is this still justified?
Before returning to the room, Haruta Tomoko met Croya.
"Why do you look so bad?" Croya asked with concern, "Is there something wrong with the wound again?"
"It's okay." Tomoko Haruta forced a smile and said, "It's okay. By the way, you remember the two-headed green snake that Zhu Jun caught, right?"
"Remember?" Croya nodded, "I remember. He seemed to have told me that this snake was pretty good."
"It's pretty good." Haruta Tomoko nodded and said, "He has sold the snake to Dutt. Do you know how much he sold it?"
"How much?" Croya asked curiously, "Ten thousand dollars?"
"No, no, no, sold...50,000 trees." Haruta Tomoko said the number, and then observed Croya's expression.
"Oh...then...is it troublesome? Why not just change the money?" Croya didn't understand.
"Think about it, if it were 50,000 redwoods, how much would it be worth?" Tomoko Haruta really wanted to know what Kroya's expression would be if she knew that the snake had replaced it with 50,000 redwoods - obviously, Zhu Yu didn't Tell Croya the news.
"How much?" Croya shook her head. She didn't know much about mahogany, but at the moment she was more concerned about Tomoko Haruta's face:
"It should be a lot, right? Zhu won't do loss-making business. But I suggest you go see a doctor now. You look really bad..."
"No, no, no, no need." Tomoko Haruta waved her hand hurriedly, "I will go and see it, but only after the deal with Dutt...the treasures must be distributed!"
Seeing Tomoko Haruta's stubbornness, Kroya shook her head and stopped trying to persuade her.
If Zhu Yu were here, he would say something for her: It's hard to persuade a damn ghost with good words.
Tomoko Haruta returned to the room and became angrier as she thought about it. Then she felt a little confused and fell asleep.
Croya went to find Zhu Yu.
"I heard Tomoko Haruta said that your snake was replaced by 50,000 trees?" Kroya entered Zhu Yu's room and saw that Zhu Yu was packing his things, so she asked.
"Yes." Zhu Yu put down his things, turned around and hugged her waist, and said with a smile: "There are a lot of redwoods in this jungle, which are relatively precious wood in the timber market. As long as the procedures and transportation are completed, it will be done." It can be sold at a good price.”
"That's really good." Croya raised her head and kissed Zhu Yu gently, and said, "I thought you might have lost money this time... not bad."
"Very good, you brought me good luck." Zhu Yu was in a good mood, lowered his head and kissed Croya, "I want to thank you very much... How about giving you a car?"
"No need." Croya waved her hand, "I don't need a car."
"Then let's get a yacht." Zhu Yu changed to another one, "I think you will like this..."
A night of silence.
The next day, the two of them got up and washed up, then came to the breakfast place.
Ran Jie and others have already arrived.
I don't know whether it is taking into account everyone's dining habits or for the convenience of dining, this place has been set up in a self-service mode.
Ran Jie and the others were already eating, while Zhu Yu and Croya went to pick their favorite food separately.
When picking up the meal, Ran Jie came over and quietly said to Zhu Yu:
"Boss, do you know what treatment Dut gave the snake?"
"What kind of treatment?" Zhu Yu asked while taking the steamed buns.
"Twelve dedicated snake keepers were equipped, and a snake platform was built overnight with gold and gems. By the way, I heard that a snake keeper was bitten to death last night, and the family of that person was very happy. !”
"How do you know?" Zhu Yu asked, "Isn't this... a bit exaggerated?"
"Gru said it. They said that it is the existence of the snake god in the human world. It is an honor to be bitten by it..." Ran Jie said this with some disbelief, "It is said that many people are rushing to grab it." Take the initiative to serve the snake god..."
He looked around and then whispered:
"Dute didn't come because some traditional nobles nearby heard about this incident and wanted to come to Dut to discuss how to worship the snake god..."
Zhu Yu thought to himself, if this living snake is so valuable, will the living green jade snake statue in his own space also be very precious?
He remembered that there seemed to be strange energy in the jade snake statue, but he was underground at the time and did not take a closer look. It seemed that he had to take the time to study it.
After Ran Jie told Zhu Yu the news, he went to eat with Qin Fei and the others, while Zhu Yu sat with Croya and started eating.
"What news did you get?" Croya asked lazily.
"Dute found twelve servants for that snake, and one of them was bitten to death last night." Zhu Yu said vaguely while biting a steamed bun, "Many people signed up to serve the snake..."
"Well, I really can't understand the fanaticism of these people." Kroya took a sip of milk, a drop of milk remaining on her lips, "What age is this..."
Zhu Yu was noncommittal. He didn't want to comment on this kind of thing - the earliest religious fanaticism was still the burning of people in the Middle Ages in Europe, right?
He was thinking about how to talk to Pu Lanlan and first find a place on the big island to build a wood processing factory. As for how to find talents, Zhu Yu felt that this matter would not be difficult for the other party.
I think many people would be happy to build a factory on the big island.
Zhu Yu only needs to provide the cost of felling and transporting these woods. If that doesn't work, it would be nice to bring Joanna's father Robert's ocean-going freighter over for use.
Nowadays, the big island is basically filled with domestic guests, and most people are not short of money.
Zhu Yu is still very optimistic about opening up the market for mahogany here.
But this requires careful planning. After all, Dutt is still some distance away from the southern port.
Cutting the wood here and transporting it to the port is probably the most difficult step in the closed loop of my business.
While eating and thinking, Zhu Yu felt that it was necessary to find some people from home.
Of course, there is no need to rush this matter, and Zhu Yu is not worried that Dutt will break the contract.
If Dutt really breaks the contract, Zhu Yu has plenty of ways to punish him.
After breakfast, Zhu Yu suddenly remembered something and asked:
"Why haven't you seen Tomoko Haruta?"
Croya also thought of this question:
"I saw that she didn't look well yesterday. Could it be that the injury has worsened?"
Zhu Yu just didn't see it and expressed curiosity. Croya felt that it was her employer and it was necessary to pay attention to it, so she asked the servants of the manor to ask.
"Zhu, it's not good! Miss Haruta Tomoko...has a high fever and is in a coma!"
