Chapter 270: Observations on the Rubber Plantation

"By the way, Saye, I need your help to find the Buddha head in Ating Village."

Li Qing has always been concerned about his younger brother.

He knew that the younger brother he had just taken in was not completely loyal, probably because of the "Buddha head".

"Don't worry, brother Li Qing, there is nothing I can't find in Bangkok."

Saye patted his chest and laughed.

This time he was very lucky to have Li Qing help him. He was able to cooperate with the military to develop tourism projects, which he had never dared to think of before.

He also knew that the military took him along for Li Qing's sake.

So he must take care of Li Qing's affairs, and asked his younger brother to find the Buddha head within two days in front of Li Qing.

"Brother Li Qing? Are you really not going to stay at my place for a few more nights?"

Ai Peng asked eagerly. Under Li Qing's coordination, the things the boss needed could be shipped to Thailand soon, which made him once again valued by the boss.

So he was grateful to Li Qing from the bottom of his heart and wanted Li Qing to stay at his place for a few more nights.

Li Qing glanced helplessly at his listless brothers.

"Ai Peng, next time, definitely next time."

But what he was thinking was, 'Go again? It's unknown whether these brothers can get out of bed alive. '

The most important thing is that Li Qing has his own arrangements. His professional team has bought eight large rubber plantations around Bangkok, Thailand, and he wants to take a look.

After all, rubber is a material with a wide range of uses and is an important strategic resource.

If it weren't for the financial and economic crisis in Thailand, it would be really difficult to take it down.

"Okay, brother Li Qing, please call me next time you come."

Ai Peng saw that Li Qing really had something to do, so he didn't force it. After saying goodbye to Li Qing, he got on the military vehicle and left.

Sayer also said goodbye to Li Qing, and before leaving, he said that he would contact him once he found the Buddha head.

Li Qing got in the car and drove to the rubber plantation.

"Brother, this was found on that Tarpon." Crow handed the paper bag in his hand to Li Qing.

Li Qing opened it and found that it was a bearer certificate of deposit from a Swiss bank with more than 3 million US dollars on it.

"Give some to the brothers who came to Thailand this time." Li Qing returned the deposit certificate to Crow.

"Okay, big brother."

Li Qing believes that merits must be rewarded and faults must be punished.

This situation has become the norm, and now every time Li Qing leaves Hong Kong, New World will have a competition inside, and the winner will be eligible to follow the big brother.

Zhang Dongxiu glanced at the still cheerful Crow casually, "Big brother, this was found in Smith's bag, he always carries it with him."

Zhang Dongxiu took out a notebook and handed it to Li Qing.

"Tsk, a notebook is worth 3 million US dollars?"

Crow said sarcastically, and shook the bearer deposit certificate in his hand.

"Idiot!"

Zhang Dongxiu rolled his eyes and said softly.

"Dog show, say it again."

"Idiot!"

"..."

Li Qing ignored the two and flipped through the notebook.

Um... uh... ah?

'Wow, this is all English, I don't understand a hammer! ’

Li Qing glanced at Zhang Dongxiu who was arguing with the crow, ‘Dongxiu, you can be inconsiderate sometimes. Forget it, let Xiaomin help translate it. There may be some important information. ’

“Brother, we are here!” Li Qing opened his eyes, got out of the car, and straightened his wrinkled clothes.

A middle-aged man with a white straw hat ran out from the rubber plantation in the distance, “Mr. Li, hello!”

His face was full of flattering smiles.

“This is Wen Gang, the person in charge of this rubber plantation. He used to be in charge of this rubber plantation. He is from Wanbei.”

A younger brother reported softly in Li Qing’s ear.

Li Qing didn’t say anything, but asked him to lead the way.

Wen Gang introduced the rubber plantation to Li Qing while walking, “Mr. Li, most of the rubber trees in this rubber plantation are more than six years old...”

Through Wen Gang’s introduction, Li Qing learned that a rubber tree must be planted for more than 6 years before rubber can be harvested.

Thailand has at least 3 months of rainy season every year when rubber cannot be tapped.

Each tree can only produce 30cc (ml) of latex juice every day, and a latex pillow requires the juice of about 50 rubber trees to produce. (Little knowledge: So it is impossible to buy a pure latex pillow for two or three hundred.)

The latex must be collected before dawn. Latex is easy to solidify. The solidified latex can only be used to make soles or rubber bands.

.....

There are many common sense about rubber, which opened the eyes of Li Qing and others.

Since Li Qing came to the whole rubber garden, there were no workers working, and it seemed very empty.

"Brother, look over there."

Zhang Dongxiu has been alert to the surroundings. This is a habit he has always developed.

Li Qing looked at the place where Zhang Dongxiu pointed, and saw a young man in brown clothes tied firmly to a rubber tree.

"What's going on?" Li Qing said in a deep voice.

Wen Gang looked at the man with a hint of viciousness in his eyes. He clearly asked his workers to put the man down, but no one listened to him.

"Mr. Li, it's nothing serious. It's just that a rubber plantation worker is dishonest."

"Oh?"

Li Qing walked past him and walked towards the young man.

When he got closer, he found that the young man was not wearing brown clothes, but white clothes. It was just dirty and looked like brown from a distance.

His hands were also tightly bound by wire, which had sunk deep into his flesh, and there were mosquitoes circling around him.

His lips were chapped, and it looked like he hadn't had water for a long time.

"Killing him is better than torturing him! Are you killing a chicken to scare the monkey?"

Li Qing turned his head and looked at Wen Gang, who was bending over.

"Yes, yes, Mr. Li is wise! Otherwise, the rubber plantation would be difficult to manage." Wen Gang said embarrassedly.

The young man heard someone talking and raised his head to look at Li Qing and others.

Li Qing could see the young man's appearance clearly, 'How could it be him? '

The young man also laughed at this time, "Hehe, if you want to kill him, kill him. Anyway, there are more than one person buried in this rubber plantation."

The words he spoke were actually Chinese. Crow and others looked at each other in surprise. The popularity of Chinese is quite good.

"Sai Lianmu, what are you talking about?"

Wen Gang glanced at Li Qing with a guilty conscience and quickly scolded him.

"Let him say... I really want to know why he was tied here." Li Qing smiled and glanced at Wen Gang.

Just this one look made Wen Gang feel as if he had fallen into hell.

"Hehe... Boss, before you came, this bastard moved a batch of rubber. I accidentally discovered what he was doing, and he tied me up here to make an example of him."

As soon as the young man spoke, Li Qing could smell the smell of alcohol from a distance.

It turned out that there was a two-day gap between the handover between the old and the new, and Wen Gang directly sold all the rubber produced during the gap and pocketed the money.

"Mr. Li, don't listen to this kid, he's lying." Wen Gang's face changed drastically and he denied it strongly.

Mr. Li, you can't trust him, he's from the mainland!"

Li Qing looked at Wen Gang expressionlessly, "Mainland? What's wrong?"

Wen Gang didn't hear the change in Li Qing's tone, "We are one family in Taiwan and Hong Kong, and mainlanders are unreliable."
