In the past, rural development was backward and transportation was inconvenient. Most farmers make a living from farming. Their income is low and their spending power is not high. Because more and more people are going home to start their own businesses, more and more businessmen are doing business in rural areas. In recent years, there has been a strange business in rural areas. Some businessmen drive to the countryside to buy some old wood. The way these businessmen buy wood is very strange. They only accept old beams from old houses or old furniture from farmers' homes. It is said that earning hundreds of thousands a year is not a problem. How do these people make so much money?

1. Sell to solid wood furniture factories and earn the difference

In rural areas, most of the houses used to be civilian buildings. When farmers build houses, they choose some hard and long-lasting wood to build their houses, some of which are made of old elm and cypress trees. These woods are not only hard, but also have fine texture, making them a good material for solid wood furniture. However, these traders collect them from farmers at low prices and sell them at high prices to make the difference. If you are lucky and have a large number of acquisitions, it will not be a problem to make hundreds of thousands of yuan every year.

2. Collection value

In order to find rare wood and sell it to collectors, although few rural houses are built with high-quality wood, it cannot be said that there is no such thing. Some businessmen go to rural areas to buy wood for Taobao products, such as doors and windows made of high-quality wood, old furniture, or ancient coins among the beams of old houses. These are the purposes for which merchants buy timber. If they are lucky enough to find it, they can make a fortune by selling it to a collector.

3. Sell to power plants or panel factories

In rural areas, many farmers will bring back the wood removed from old houses to use as firewood. Tree felling is now prohibited in many areas. Some people see business opportunities and buy wood in rural areas and then sell it to power plants or wood board factories to earn the price difference.

It’s not fiction that you can make millions a year from collecting scrap wood. Of course, this also requires keen observation and luck, and you cannot blindly follow the trend.
