Lin Yu'an looked at David and added: "Summer is very brief in Alaska, and I must complete all the timber harvesting, transportation, and preliminary processing before summer arrives."
"Calculating it, I have roughly one hundred days of effective working time."
"One hundred and twenty trees, which means, on average, I must complete the entire processing workflow of one or two trees per day, from locating, felling, de-branching, and cutting, to transporting them back to the camp."
"This is a very tight but executable plan."
Lin Yu'an closed his notebook and summarized: "It doesn't permit any slack from me, nor any weather issues, and not any major failures from my tools."
"David, Mike, are you ready for the first day of the hundred-day plan now!"
This clear and yet brutal plan was instantly infused with a sense of urgency; the timber harvesting operation was formally on the schedule!
