Chapter 91: Problems Caused by a Rabbit

Chapter 91: Problems Caused by a Rabbit
Writing novels is a joke.

Jiang Ning didn't have the time for that. With the little knowledge he had, he would have a hard time writing a 300-word essay, let alone a novel. He was reluctant to spend the money Feng Xue had worked so hard to save, as he thought it was meaningless.

Just as he was about to log off, someone at the bridge head called over a little devil.

Jiang Ning applied to form a team and took him with him.

The five noobs caught some ghosts for a while and leveled up a few levels.

Just when I was feeling bored, Jiang Wei called and asked me to go out for some midnight snack.

Jiang Ning logged off, got up, put on his clothes and went downstairs.

After having supper, I went to find some fun.

It was almost twelve o'clock before I returned to the hotel to sleep.

The next day, I got up and went to the farm. When I arrived at the office building, Lao Yang had just finished breakfast in the cafeteria and walked over. He temporarily called Zhang Yulong to run errands and do miscellaneous things. He did not call back other people who were on vacation to work overtime.

He didn't go upstairs, but just stood downstairs and talked for a few words.

I called the county and was told that the people from the board factory would not arrive until after 10 o'clock.

It's still early.

Jiang Ning didn't want to sit in the office, so he went to catch rabbits.

As the weather gets cooler, more and more people eat meat.

The rabbit business is booming recently, with two hundred sold a day.

There was no special capture team; they just caught the workers while they were working, and it was a bit hard to keep up.

Jiang Ning went to the living area and asked for a net bag to catch rabbits.

For workers who have to catch rabbits every day, this job is quite hard.

For Jiang Ning, catching rabbits is fun.

Most of the time when buying rabbits, they don't want dead ones. If you want to eat them yourself, you would rather buy ones that are alive and kicking. Restaurants are not so particular, but the price is the same for dead and alive ones, so instead of dead ones, you want alive ones. If you put buttons on a rabbit, it will die after a long time.

Therefore, they can only be caught alive using net bags.

The net bag was not bought, I made it myself with the materials.

The steel bar is processed into a circle as big as a pot lid, with a net bag fixed on it.

Weld a handle and a net bag is ready.

In the past, when there were fewer rabbits, using this thing to catch rabbits was a joke.

There are so many rabbits now. When you go into the woods, rabbits will jump past you from time to time.

As long as you are quick, you can scoop it in with the net bag.

The old man doesn't rely on his muscles and bones to do this job.

Old Yang watched the boss and Zhang Yulong catching rabbits with a smile.

There is no need to say much about Jiang Ning. His reaction and speed are both top-notch.

I keep picking and choosing, and I always get it right.

Soon five or six rabbits were caught.

Zhang Yulong is not so good. This kid reacts too slowly, as if he has retardedness.

The rabbit had already jumped over before I swung the net bag.

The result is naturally that I can't even smell a rabbit's fart.

Jiang Ning tied up the five rabbits he caught, threw them on the side of the road and went back in.

Looking for it.

Suddenly, there were a few gurgling sounds under my feet.

When I parted the grass, I saw a little rabbit about half the size of my palm squatting in the grass.

I don’t know the truth when I see people.

It may also be that you can't run.

After all, the grass was too dense.

Jiang Ning picked up the little thing and looked at it in his palm.

This is obviously a baby rabbit and will not be long in life.

A rabbit this big should still be suckling and rarely runs out. Anyway, it was the first time he saw such a baby rabbit. Even if this little thing sneaked out, it wouldn't run too far. There should be a rabbit burrow nearby.

Jiang Ning looked at the baby rabbit.

The young rabbit also looked at him, confused.

The little rabbit doesn't know how dangerous the two-legged beasts are.

Those little eyes are so pure.

Jiang Ning put it aside and suddenly thought of a question.

There seems to be something wrong with catching rabbits this way.

What if a mother rabbit comes out to look for food right after giving birth, but is caught? Wouldn’t the little rabbits starve to death?
Capture one, but the whole nest will starve to death.

This would be a huge loss.

Thinking of this, Jiang Ning no longer had the heart to catch rabbits.

I took the net bag and went out to talk to Lao Yang about my idea.

The old comrade agreed: "Indeed, although the rabbits on the farm are all wild, we can't just kill all the rabbits and kill the whole litter. This loss is indeed quite large. We need to find out the breeding habits of rabbits as soon as possible and capture them in a planned way."

Jiang Ning said, "I always thought rabbits would stop breeding after autumn, but I didn't expect that they would still breed when winter is about to come. If I hadn't just encountered a baby rabbit, many of them would have starved to death if we continued to hunt like this."

Old Yang's face turned serious: "We must stop capturing immediately."

Jiang Ning nodded: "Call and inform them that the rabbits will not be sold for the time being."

Old Yang didn't waste any time and immediately called to notify them.

The five rabbits caught by Jiang Ning were also released.

Then the two of them discussed and decided to find an animal expert to conduct a thorough study.

We need to find out the breeding scale of rabbits as soon as possible.

It was almost eleven o'clock when the people from the timber factory finally arrived.

Someone from the county came with me.

Jiang Ning and Lao Yang did not go to the gate to greet them, but waited downstairs in the office building.

When people arrived, we went upstairs and chatted for a while.

Two people came from the board factory, and a deputy from a unit came from the county.

After chatting for a while, we went downstairs to visit the forest area. We arrived at the No. 1 forest area, but we didn't look at the trees carefully.

The people in the board factory were attracted by the rabbit that jumped out.

The senior executive of the board factory asked, "Do you raise rabbits here?"

Jiang Ning chuckled: "The grass on the farm is growing well, and the wild rabbits ran in by themselves."

The top management of the board factory clicked their tongues and thought it was amazing.

The deputy director next to him twitched his mouth. He had said before that the animals were raised free-range on the farm.

Now it's a wild rabbit again.

This person is really two-faced and can say whatever he wants.

After talking about the rabbit for a few words, he looked at the tree.

The poplar trees on the farm have grown to a breast diameter of more than 30 centimeters and are 13 or 14 meters tall.

The branches were trimmed cleanly, with only a few branches at the top.

Many trees planted outside farmers' homes in rural areas are poorly maintained. Above six or seven meters, they are all branches and twigs, which is simply unmanageable. The trees here are obviously different. They have all been carefully trimmed, most of them can be used as timber, and there are not many waste branches.

The senior executives of the board factory said: "This tree is well pruned."

Jiang Ning smiled and said, "With more than 200 workers taking care of it, it certainly won't be bad."

The senior executives of the board factory were surprised: "You have more than 200 workers?"

Jiang Ning nodded: "Almost three hundred."

The senior management of the board factory were very nervous, as there were more than 300 workers on one farm.

This investment is not small.

Initial infrastructure investment, and various maintenance and fixed expenses in the later stage.

The payback period of forestry is long, and most people really can’t stick with it.

If you don’t have some strength, you will go bankrupt before the trees grow.

Moreover, the farm covers more than 30,000 acres, which is much larger than the board factory.

The board factory executive asked, "How much can you give me?"

Jiang Ning asked: "How did you collect it?"

The board factory executive said, “We usually quote based on the tree.”

Jiang Ning asked: "How much did you give for this tree?"

The board factory executive said: "About 700!"

Jiang Ning said: "Let's talk about it later."

The board factory executives asked, "How much can you give?"

Jiang Ning said: "At least eight hundred, less is not allowed."

The senior management of the board factory was not in a hurry to bargain. They looked around and became more and more satisfied. The trees here are indeed growing well. There is a big difference between trees with people taking care of them and trees without people taking care of them. The yield rate is very high, which means lower costs for the board factory.

Ordinary people cut down the trees in front of and behind their houses, and many of the branches cannot be processed into high-quality boards, so they can only be made into cheap products, which naturally leads to higher costs. The trees on this farm have a high yield rate, and most of them can be processed into high-quality boards.

The cost will naturally come down.

But the price is still negotiable.

Bulk business and scattered acquisitions naturally have different prices.

After the senior executives of the board factory read it, they asked, "Can we negotiate the price?"

Jiang Ning said, "Let's not talk about prices below 800. This price is not high."

The board factory executives did not comment, saying that the price was indeed not high.

But this is big business!

There is no such thing as not negotiating the price.

After taking a look around, he left.

We need to go back and discuss it.

Jiang Ning left the people from the county and went to the cafeteria to eat.

Discussed it by the way.

Old Yang is the most confident: "There is a shortage of trees in the northwest. Ordinary people can plant trees in front of or behind their houses and there will be people who will cut them down. There is no worry about selling them. I heard that several board factories in the city are often looking for wood everywhere. This is a seller's market, and we can't let them lower the price."

The deputy director said bluntly: "Eight hundred is a bit high, most people charge six hundred."

Old Yang said, "Eight hundred is not high. I asked someone to check and found that many places charge eight hundred for a square meter of wood."

The deputy director said, "Each place has its own price. Our price has always been relatively low, except for those few panel factories. If they unite, they can keep the price down. However, the farm's quantity is too large, and those three panel factories can't handle it."

Jiang Ning then said, "So the county has to hurry up and find a way, either to find other sales channels or to get interested timber processing companies to settle in Bei'an as soon as possible. Otherwise, my trees are already mature, but I can't sell them and they have to keep growing there. That would be ridiculous. If we can cut them all this year, we can plant another batch in the spring and continue cutting them next year."

The deputy director was heartbroken when he heard this. The trees are yours, but you spend your days eating, drinking and having fun instead of trying to find a way to sell the trees, yet you are urging the county to find a way. This is simply outrageous. However, the farm and the county have common interests. Two million trees, worth tens of billions of dollars, are growing there.

The county also wants to help cash in as quickly as possible so that we can have a good meal of meat.

Boss Lu even came forward in person to introduce relevant companies.

Who among the people below dares not to pay attention? Recently, the whole county has been revolving around the tree on the farm.

Some went to the south to attract investment and contact relevant companies everywhere.

We were discussing investing and building a factory in Beian.

Some people contact manufacturers who need wood everywhere.

Over a billion!

Beigou Coal Mine only mines tens of billions of coal a year. For a poor county like Bei'an, how much benefit can such a huge economic value generate and how many problems can it solve? The county is helpless and can only watch helplessly.

But Fairy Farm is different.

Jiang Ning has no other industry and is counting on the county to help him sell wood!

If we can build a wood processing industry chain.

It can effectively solve the employment problem.

The county also had a continuous source of tax revenue.

Before summer even arrives, Bei'an County is almost half empty.

They all went out to work.

The deputy director said: "It is definitely impossible to cut all the quotas this year. It takes time for enterprises to settle down, and the quota is definitely not enough. I heard that the province will give a maximum quota of one million, and that is for next year. If it exceeds the quota, it will be more troublesome."

Yang Zhen smiled and said, "These are all minor issues. We can use next year's supplies this year. If next year's supplies are not enough, we can use the year after next. We can cut and plant at the same time. The county can apply for more quotas for us. As long as it can generate benefits and solve problems, these are all minor issues!"
