Carrying a Jurassic on me-Chapter 1200 - 601 Incognito Visit_4

"Yeah! Who would have thought that people over in Hong Kong also eat beef..."

"Isn’t that a stupid thing to say! What’s wrong with Hong Kong people, they don’t eat food now?"

"I didn’t mean that..."

"The leader is asking about our cattle farming business, and here you two are blabbering about nonsense..."

"Exactly, exactly, about the cattle... nowadays, who in our township doesn’t want to raise cattle? Those already raising want to raise more, and those without cattle are eagerly waiting for Boss Yan to distribute livestock. Not to brag, but our township definitely has more cattle than anywhere else."

"That’s right, our village has more cattle than the one to the west. Not only do they have fewer cattle, but they also rely on us if they want to fetch a good price..."

"What are you blathering about? Those people can sell their cattle without you..." Someone immediately shut up the loose-tongued talker.

This ’sensitive’ topic, was it something you could just speak openly about?

In fact, Assistant Meng and Secretary Niu could clearly hear that this was Boss Yan favoring his own townspeople in his cattle collection — and it was no big deal to discuss it. It’s not as if local people would be cared for while outsiders were ignored. Yan Fei was an entrepreneur, not the top official in the county. He couldn’t manage that much, could he!

It was not until it was nearly noon that Secretary Niu reminded them, "Assistant Meng, it’s getting late, we should be going!"

It was only then that Assistant Meng realized the sun was high in the sky and he smiled as he took his leave from the crowd, "Folks, keep busy, I am off to visit Boss Yan’s cattle farm now. Sorry to have interrupted your work for half the day!"

"No interruption, no interruption." These words were spoken in unison, with a reminder, "Take care on your way out, leaders! Boss Yan is a conscientious businessman, you mustn’t cause him any trouble!"

Assistant Meng waved with a smile, "Don’t worry, we are here to support him, why would we cause any trouble!"

Once in the car, Assistant Meng chuckled, "These villagers are truly enthusiastic. But it’s also clear to see that Yan Fei, the big cattle raiser, hasn’t forgotten the people from his hometown while getting rich, and he has won their hearts indeed!"

Secretary Niu played along, "Exactly! His cooperative cattle farming is indeed a great way for those who are rich to lead and help those who are not yet wealthy. Other places have also wanted to copy it, it’s just that at this stage, the conditions are not quite sufficient..." freeωebnovēl.c૦m

Assistant Meng nodded understandingly, the reason for insufficient conditions was simple: other cattle farms weren’t making money like Yan Fei’s, they couldn’t afford the losses.

In rural areas, there’s a saying, "You’re not truly wealthy until you own livestock."

Other cattle farmers are diligent and cautious. Should any issue happen with the cattle, it can lead to sleepless nights and literally pulling one’s hair out in anxiety. Raising the cattle themselves is already so worrisome, how could they trust their livelihood to other farmers?

Trying to do what Yan Fei does demands quite some conditions.

First, professional cattle farmers must have strong financial resources to withstand losses. In case of an epidemic breakout that affects a large area, the potential loss is enormous, something not everyone dares to risk. Secondly, these professionals must also command respect; if their reputation isn’t great, who would dare collaborate with them?

Of course, a good reputation alone isn’t enough; they also need to be able to control the scene. To speak frankly, what if those farmers see the cattle are raised well and then decide to sell them off privately? What then?

The main thing is that these specialized cattle farmers must have a market, or when batch after batch of cattle arrive and the money is doled out, the field will face direct closure, and wouldn’t that be the end of it?

Only with comparison can one’s capabilities stand out. At this moment, Assistant Meng couldn’t help but sigh, "This Boss Yan is really extraordinary. So young, and not only has he built up a business, but his reputation is also so strong. If he keeps going like this, not to mention leading a township to wealth, I think leading a whole county is not out of the question. If the local authorities support a few more entrepreneurs like him, economic development wouldn’t be hard at all!"

What else could Secretary Niu say? He could only nod in agreement repeatedly, "Exactly, exactly. An entrepreneur whom even the common folk speak well of, we must definitely support with all our might!"

The two in conversation didn’t know that as soon as their car started speaking, the place on the other side began to buzz with activity.

That talkative woman said first, "We’ve been praising Xiao Fei for such a long time, if he gets some good fortune, we must remind him not to forget about us."

Her husband gave her a glare, "You talk too much. Isn’t our village’s condition good enough now? Look around, does any other village have this... soybean crushing machine..."

"It’s a thresher you can’t even name, and you have the nerve to criticize me!" Without outsiders present, the wife wasn’t scared of him and retorted with a sneer. "I’m just saying! Now that our villagers have followed Xiao Fei, haven’t we all benefited? Do you think I’m not aware of that?"

"Auntie, Auntie!" The naughty child who had just mentioned the ecological chain jumped out. "Wasn’t what I said good? Next time Brother Xiao Fei comes, you all have to tell him..."

"Alright, alright!" The woman broke into a broad grin. "Good boy, that education really wasn’t wasted on you. We couldn’t even speak of that whole chain thing. We’ll mention it to Brother Xiao Fei later, have him take you out for some beef..."

"I don’t want to eat beef at all!" The naughty child protested. "Just let me ride in his Mercedes Benz S600. I heard that car is even better than what the county head drives, and once I’ve ridden in it, I can become a big official too!"

Instantly, the crowd burst into laughter, and an old man casually extended his tobacco pipe, "Here, young Hao, clean this for me from a distance. Later, I’ll put in a good word with Xiao Fei for you, give you a big credit."

The naughty child took the tobacco pipe and left, muttering, "As if it’s going to be as effective as Brother Huzi saying it! He’s eating beef every day now, to the point he doesn’t come back even on Sundays!"

This was overheard by a few women who immediately began to speak enviously, "Speaking of which, some people with good fortune don’t need to be busy. Just look at Auntie Cauliflower’s family, they have moved to the town and don’t come back now. During this busy season, they had her Mother’s Family’s brother come over to help with the harvest..."

Hearing this, the other women also showed looks of envy, but the men who were working didn’t make a sound. The old man, on the other hand, laughed, "Don’t be envious, I think the bigger Xiao Fei’s business gets, the sooner the good fortune will come our way. Looking at that kid’s performance, does he seem like someone who would forget his roots? In the future, if there’s something good, who could he forget if not the people of Shanglin Village?"

Turns out, the group that was just chatting with Assistant Meng and Secretary Niu was from Yan Fei’s maternal grandfather’s village, no wonder they spared no effort in singing Yan Fei’s praises!

The Brother Huzi mentioned by the kids is Yan Fei’s cousin, Lin Haihu, and the Auntie Cauliflower discussed by the woman is Yan Fei’s maternal aunt—currently, those two are able to earn cash by working at the construction site. Besides, Yan Fei’s grandfather also felt it was better to have more of his own people around, so he had them continuously help out on the site. Thus, the farm work has been handed over to the family of Yan Fei’s maternal aunt.

If Assistant Meng and Secretary Niu were to go elsewhere, there would certainly be plenty of people speaking well of Yan Fei, but surely none as enthusiastically as here. Isn’t there a saying, blood is thicker than water, especially when it’s with hometown folks who’ve gained quite a bit from Yan Fei?

Indeed, Yan Fei might not have realized that building this road, which has extended the distance to the county seat by more than ten miles, wasn’t entirely a bad thing. At least near the junction of the Provincial road leading to the county, everyone in the village is one of his own.

Lucky for Assistant Meng and Secretary Niu that they didn’t plan on dining first before heading to Yan Fei’s site. Otherwise, had they eaten at the more decent beef restaurant at the crossroads, they would certainly have heard nothing but praise for Yan Fei—Zhou Dalian is not only able to earn money now but has also become a consultant at the township’s greenhouse office. How could he not speak well of Brother Fei?

Even if Zhou Dalian didn’t speak up, who wouldn’t know of his relationship with Yan Fei? Who would dare not to praise Boss Yan in his restaurant?

Assistant Meng went incognito to investigate the beef cattle breeding situation, but upon arrival here, every mention of cattle inevitably led to Boss Yan. After all this toil, aside from discovering everyone’s high enthusiasm for cattle farming, what’s left was hearing all about the praises for Boss Yan...
