Chapter 49 One hundred and twenty tons of sea yellow
"You mean that pile of wood?
If you want that pile of wood, you can just take it away, which can be regarded as helping our lumber factory solve the problem!" When Zhang Junping said that he wanted to buy the pile of hollow wood, Section Chief Sun generously said that he would just take it away without paying.
"Chief Sun, isn't this bad? I know you take care of me, but I can't make things difficult for you, right?"
"Hahaha!
Classmate Xiao Zhang, if you want other wood, I really can’t decide to give it to you!
But that pile of wood has been there for more than ten years, and no one wants it. It’s taking up space, and the factory has long wanted to deal with it!”
"How come no one wants it? I think those are Hainan Huanghuali!"
"Xiao Zhang has a good eye! Yes, that's the rosewood from Hainan!
It has been more than ten years since I said this, not long after I joined the factory!
The factory imported a batch of rosewood from Hainan, about a thousand rosewood logs.
As a result, you saw it too!
Because of this incident, the then head of the purchasing department was demoted and punished.
The deputy factory director and deputy secretary in charge were punished, and they were recorded as major demerits within the party!" Section Chief Sun recalled the situation at that time.
In this regard, Zhang Junping can only express sympathy for those who have been demoted and recorded major demerits.
These people are really resentful for their punishment, but it is a pity that no knowledgeable person can speak for them.
Many people know that small-leaf red sandalwood has ten sandalwoods and nine empty spaces. In fact, Huanghuali is also the same, with ten woods and nine empty spaces.
It's just that the reasons for the hollowness of small-leaf rosewood and huanghuali are different.
Small-leaf red sandalwood grows for a long time and its nutrients cannot keep up. The nutrients in the heart of the tree are absorbed by the tree itself, causing the heart of the tree to become rotten and hollow.
As for huanghuali, the core of the tree contains a lot of protein, and everyone knows that protein can easily attract insects, so the hollow core of the huanghuali is eaten by the insects.
According to the ratio of ten logs and nine empty logs, Guanghua Timber Factory imported a thousand huanghuali logs at a time. It was still in the late 1960s and early 1970s. This was such a special period. This was a big hole, a sinkhole!
As for why no knowledgeable person can speak for them, it’s because the knowledgeable people have gone to farm in the countryside.
Using Hainan Huanghuali to make steel was something that was done during that special period.
The reason is that huanghuali is resistant to burning and has strong fire, making it a good fuel for steel making.
"Chief Sun, thank you very much for your help and support!
But I have to pay this money!
These woods, which may seem too hard to you as firewood, are treasures when they are in my hands!
After careful processing, it will become a beautiful work of art!" Zhang Junping has his own persistence and speaks truthfully.
Hainan Huanghuali is now undervalued. Due to the processing technology, the charm of Hainan Huanghuali cannot bloom, so its value is seriously underestimated.
But none of this is the reason why he doesn't pay for things he buys.
He is not afraid to tell them the truth that Hainan Huanghuali is very valuable.
The limitations of the times cannot be broken by him in one or two sentences.
"Okay! You college students are very enlightened!
Let's stop arguing. It's only a dime and a hundred pounds, I'll arrange for someone to weigh it!
As for the value you said, I believe it!
However, I know better that that is your ability!
It's like a piece of rice paper. It's just a piece of rice paper in my hand. I can use it at most to practice calligraphy and painting for my children!
But in the hands of Mr. Zhang Daqian, it will become a painting worth thousands of dollars!
I can't just sell rice paper for thousands of dollars now just because it may be painted by Mr. Zhang Daqian into a painting worth thousands in the future, right?" Section Chief Sun saw it more clearly!
"You're right. I'll take them all at the price you said!" Zhang Junping didn't show any pretense and agreed directly.
He adheres to the principle that no matter how high or low the price is, I spend the money.
Whether the price is high or low is a matter of the times. If you don't spend money, it is a matter of morality.
At the last weighing, the total amount was a little over 120 tons. Calculated at two yuan per ton, after erasing the fraction, Zhang Junping paid Guanghua Timber Factory 240 yuan.
"Where are you going to take these wood?" Huang Xue asked a very practical question.
This is not just a little bit. The pile may not be very eye-catching in the cargo yard of Guanghua Timber Factory, but in fact it is a big pile.
There will definitely not be enough space in the furniture store.
So sloppy!
When I see something good, I want to take it home!
This problem must be corrected!
"Take it back to school and put it in Director Liu's studio!"
"Do you agree, Director Liu? Would you like to say hello to Director Liu in advance?" Huang Xue suggested softly.
I have to say that Huang Xue, the "assistant", is quite competent and considers issues more thoughtfully than Zhang Junping.
"Okay, I'll borrow a phone and give Director Liu a call!" Zhang Junping thought about it. No matter what, he should tell the old lady in advance.
I borrowed the sales department's phone and called the old lady.
The old lady's assistant answered the phone. She gave her identity and waited for a short while before the old lady came over to answer the phone.
"Grandma Liu, I'm Zhang Junping!"
"I know it's you, kid. Where are you? How can I call you?"
"Um...I'm at Guanghua Timber Factory. I bought more than 120 tons of Hainan Huanghuali. I have no place to put it. I want to bring you to the studio!" Zhang Junping also felt a little embarrassed.
"You kid, you are really good at doing things! Why didn't I realize you were so good at doing things before?
You kid is really going to cause trouble for me, why do you think you got so much wood?" the old lady scolded angrily.
But despite the scolding, the disciple's matter still needs to be resolved.
"I'll call the logistics department soon and ask them to free up a warehouse for you!"
"Okay! Then I'll let the driver take the wood back to school!" Zhang Junping ignored the old lady's scolding and grinned.
"Pull it back! Let me tell you! The school warehouse is not for you to use for free. You should pay the rent as much as you need, and you can't pay a penny less!"
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Junping found Section Chief Sun and Huang Xue looking at him with strange eyes.
"What's wrong?" Zhang Junping touched his face. There should be no dust on his face.
"Xiao Zhang, who did you call just now?" Section Chief Sun asked tentatively.
"He's the head of the sculpture department of our school!"
"You and Director Liu are..."
"Oh! During the summer vacation, I rented Director Liu's house. I didn't know that Director Liu was the department head of our school, so I got used to calling her Grandma Liu!" Zhang Junping explained with a smile.
Section Chief Sun thought to himself, judging from the tone of your words just now, is this a matter of habit?
This is the tone in which a biological grandson talks to his own grandmother.
Section Chief Sun An An admired himself in his heart, he was really smart!
The reason why Section Chief Sun was so polite to Zhang Junping was because he allowed credit, arranged for a truck to be delivered, and personally told him to pack the materials.
I just feel that Zhang Junping is extraordinary. In this era, he dares to do so much, and he can do so. If nothing happens, he will definitely be a figure in the future.
Section Chief Sun's selling of personal favors can be regarded as early investment.
What's more, his boy is preparing to take the entrance exam for the Central High School Affiliated to the Central Academy of Fine Arts next year.
