Chapter 64: Need to arrange some communication equipment

I have to say.

【2> Bei Bang handles things really quickly.

Bei Bang's work efficiency is really fast.

Xiao Cui said it would be delivered at noon, but it actually arrived before ten in the morning, with all three hundred tons of timber delivered.

Li Jiaci didn't hesitate either; while having Zhang Chuqiang look for a vehicle, he also paid the customs duty for the three hundred tons of timber.

Since he came frequently and there weren't many timber buyers here.

The customs officers in charge of stamping already knew Li Jiaci.

She couldn't help asking Li Jiaci, "Why haven't you registered a company yet? Didn't I tell you that having a company gets you tax exemptions?"

"I do want to."

Li Jiaci smiled and said, "But I don't have that much capital."

Upon hearing Li Jiaci say that.

The customs officer's gaze at Li Jiaci was utterly strange.

Each time he came to collect timber, not counting the timber cost, the taxes alone amounted to seven or eight thousand, yet he said he had no money to start a company.

Li Jiaci certainly wasn't truly lacking funds to start a company.

Originally.

He also wanted to register a company to reduce certain taxes.

But after thinking it over carefully.

Registering a company now is not the best timing.

He remembered it clearly, because just a few months later the government signed a new border trade agreement with the northern Xiong Guo, then carried out a series of updates to the company registration regulations, and also gave many policy supports to new companies.

If he registers a company now, he won't be able to receive those benefits later.

Once the timber was loaded.

Li Jiaci greeted Xiao Cui and then headed straight out of the border trade zone.

And it was at that moment.

Xiao Cui suddenly called out to stop him.

"The Colonel has something to give you."

Xiao Cui waved at the crowd behind him, and immediately someone came forward carrying a wooden crate.

He opened the crate.

Inside were aged ginseng roots that had been growing for years.

Xiao Cui said, "As courtesy dictates, since you sent us a gift, we naturally must return the favor; these are from the Colonel, please accept them."

"The Colonel is really too polite."

Li Jiaci looked at the aged ginseng, beaming, and said, "When I have something good later, I'll send it your way."

"Good!"

The two chatted a bit more.

Li Jiaci then led the car fleet away.

Xiao Cui stood at the border trade zone gate, seeing Li Jiaci and them off.

Only after the car fleet had completely disappeared did he turn around, take out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, slip it into his briefcase, and together with the money give it to a man beside him.

"Take the money back and hand it over to the Colonel."

"Cigarettes, you guys can split them along the way."

"Thank you, Chief Cui!"

……

Li Jiaci, as usual, led the way for the car fleet.

At this moment, he also wanted to know how things were at home.

Whether the timber would be enough or not.

However, without communication equipment, he couldn't do anything.

Li Jiaci sighed inwardly, "Looks like I need to find time to give each of my brothers a phone."

Not having communication equipment really makes things difficult.

While he was worrying, Wang Yingna sat in the passenger seat beside him.

Compared to a few days ago, her condition is clearly much better; at least she's in the mood to enjoy the scenery along the way.

"Why didn't I notice this before?"

"The scenery here is surprisingly beautiful."

Wang Yingna said with a clear smile, "If we came in spring or summer, it would be great; I'd guess the scenery here is not much different from that of a scenic area."

"It should be best in autumn."

"The hills are covered in red maples, looking especially beautiful."

Li Jiaci clearly remembered.

In a few years, this place will be planned as a scenic area.

And the autumn maples here are renowned both at home and abroad.

"What a pity."

Wang Yingna said, "If only I had met you earlier, I might have gotten to see it."

"Even if I had met you earlier, it wouldn't have helped."

Li Jiaci said, "I hadn't come here before either, but if you're still interested next year, I'll still be in this line of work and can give you another ride."

Wang Yingna pursed her lips.

You think I'm a child?

Do I have to let you, an adult, lead me wherever I go?

Can't I just wait until the time comes and go see for myself?

Li Jiaci was a bit speechless.

I was worried she'd be bored, so I thought I'd keep her company for a chat, but instead this girl turned around and talked back at me.

And just as Li Jiaci was thinking about what to say to retort...

Wang Yingna chuckled and said, "Being treated like a child isn't bad, so I'll wait until next year for you to bring me to see the scenery."

Upon hearing these words.

Li Jiaci's gaze was strange.

Wang Yingna also didn't continue talking about this topic.

It was past three in the afternoon.

The group then returned to the lumber processing factory.

And just as Li Jiaci had expected, the timber that had been stored earlier had basically been used up.

The rain‑shed warehouse used for storing timber had only a few logs left scattered about.

My brother, you've finally come back.

Li Yihu stepped forward and said, "Otherwise I was thinking of cutting down those trees by the gate and processing them into lumber."

What's there to panic about?

Li Jiaci smiled lightly and said, "From now on, we'll have as much timber as we need."

Really?

Li Yihu widened his eyes: "As much as we need?"

Of course.

I've already talked it over with Xiao Cui.

From now on, they'll send us three hundred tons of timber every day.

Li Jiaci slapped Li Yihu on the shoulder and said, "All right, cut the chatter—hurry up and get the crew to unload the trucks!"

Got it!

Li Yihu went off cheerfully to call the crew to unload the vehicles.

This kid…

Li Jiaci gave a helpless smile, then turned his head to look at the other side of the rain‑shed.

That side is for storing processed lumber, and right now there isn't a single item in stock.

This shows just how booming the business is.

Even though Li Jiaci has pushed production to the limit, he still can't meet the current market demand.

What Li Jiaci wants is exactly this effect; otherwise, how could he make money?

But Li Jiaci also knows that this is only temporary.

Once someone officially enters the market and starts competing with him, the business will surely not be as hot.

And now.

Their top priority is to make as much money as possible before that person enters the market, to use as a future safeguard.

Next.

Li Jiaci also reassigned the brothers' work duties.

Liu Jiang remained unchanged, handling accounting and personnel.

Li Yihu was in charge of warehousing, and Wang Lan handled shipping.

As for Zhao Chen and Zhang Chuqiang, they were stationed in Jiangcheng, responsible for liaising with Xiao Cui.

And the brothers have always followed Li Jiaci's lead since childhood, so of course they had no objections.

After arranging what each person was to do,

Li Jiaci thought for a moment, then told them, "When I free up some time later, I'll go buy each of you a cell phone; from now on, we can just call each other if anything comes up."

Cell phones?

When they heard that,

the eyes of several people on site lit up.

Brother, are you serious?

Zhao Chen's eyes shone with delight as he said, "You're really going to buy us cell phones?"

Yeah, brother!

You're not joking with us, are you?

Wang Lan also said, "I heard the cheapest cell phones cost fifteen or sixteen hundred each."

Is fifteen or sixteen hundred even a big deal for us?

Li Jiaci said seriously, "When I get back later, I'll go to the phone store and make sure each of you gets a phone—this will also make things easier for your work."

Great!

Several people cheered aloud.
