Chapter 1208: Chapter 604: It Turns Out to Be a Bond Formed Over Drinks

"Just these few cows? Is this what you call efficiency?" The Fifth Young Master Guo looked at the twenty or so cows being led in and immediately had complaints again.

"This is enough." Yan Fei chuckled. "Assistant Meng, where shall we go next?"

"Wasn’t it said that three new restaurants are opening? Why did you only collect so few cows at once?" Assistant Meng was also curious. Yan Fei had just spoken with great confidence to show The Fifth Young Master Guo the efficiency of his farm, but although there was efficiency—Heizi had made a call and in less than an hour, more than twenty cows had been delivered to the farm.

Then they registered, inspected, and arranged the cows into the barn swiftly and smoothly.

But with only these twenty-some cows, it surely wasn’t enough to supply three new restaurants, right?

Yan Fei smilingly explained, "This isn’t for one restaurant, it’s for all the clients, but just the supply for one delivery. The farm supplies every three days, so now we just replenish directly to the total amount needed. Actually, the delivery was supposed to be tomorrow, and these cows were supposed to arrive tomorrow afternoon. Now, it’s just arranged ahead of time."

"Oh, oh, oh, look at me. I didn’t even think of that, haha..." Assistant Meng laughed self-deprecatingly. Once Yan Fei explained, he understood. The restaurant industry, especially high-end restaurants, certainly couldn’t store ingredients for half a month at a time; they always aimed to ensure the freshness.

After mocking himself, Assistant Meng thought of another question: "Now that your business has expanded, can the number of cows in collaborative breeding be increased?"

"Definitely, but there aren’t many calves in the village now; we’d have to bring them in from other villages, so it might be a bit delayed," Yan Fei smiled and said. "With three more restaurants to supply, in succession, we should distribute around a thousand calves. If there aren’t more clients added to the farm, this number will just be enough for the farm to completely handle."

"Not bad, not bad." Assistant Meng nodded. "It looks like you’ve now established a fixed business model here, which is great. Distributing a thousand calves will indeed help many households overcome poverty."

Mayor Chen came out to credit Yan Fei: "Indeed, the changes in the village over the past two years have been significant, and Comrade Yan Fei has contributed immensely. Using the words of the local people, there are now brighter prospects, and everyone’s morale has risen. This year, many villagers have started to actively seek their own ways to wealth instead of relying on government subsidies as before. These changes are apparent to everyone."

The reliance on subsidies is easy to understand—it describes some impoverished areas where the locals lack initiative. They just wait for government funding and support, showing no intention of seeking ways to develop or become self-reliant, only waiting for poverty aid and depending entirely on the government, reaching out for aid money when all else fails.

Of course, situations vary, and some places genuinely have no alternative, but in others, it’s simply a lack of initiative.

There’s a saying, ’The wisdom of the people is infinite.’ Once people show initiative, the energy they can harness is not to be underestimated.

Take, for instance, some skilled villagers in our village have organized a leather processing industry, making leather shoes and belts—even though they are branded with names like ’Dreamy Beauty’ and ’Old Big Head,’ they still make money, right?

If you say they’re faking brands, that’s somewhat unjust—shouldn’t the customers look closely themselves? Besides, these handmade goods aren’t necessarily of poorer quality than the famous brands; the materials used are not inferior, and some of the craftsmanship has been handed down through generations. Those who buy aren’t being shortchanged.

In fact, these days many people prefer to buy such ’branded goods’ because they are economically priced!

In short, to put it bluntly, people still need some stimulation.

Usually, life in our village is routine, everyone just gets by day-to-day. Now suddenly, some people make money, even keeping eggs to feed their own children and elderly at home. Around the village, it’s common to carry a bowl and visit neighbors for meals, so who wouldn’t notice what’s in each other’s bowls?

Given such a situation in the village, the people in town become even more restless.

For guys like Heizi who now have money and no worries, it makes sense to buy a couple of sets of fancy brand-name clothes for any occasion. Of course, what excites people the most is Boss Yan’s generous spending. Sancha River village got a car even better than that of the county party secretary, and seeing that car taking a spin now and then, who could remain indifferent?

Yes, we may not compare to Boss Yan, but are we even lesser than those ruffians who hung around with Heizi in the past? They make money because of Boss Yan, and if we can’t keep up, we can’t just sit idly by, can we?

Actually, once everyone starts taking action, the person who is most relieved and happiest is probably Mayor Chen and other leaders. When serving an office term, who wouldn’t want to see a significant transformation in the place they work during their tenure?

Hearing Mayor Chen’s words, Assistant Meng also smiled: "That’s right, didn’t Comrade Yan Fei just ask where else we wanted to go and see? Let’s visit the construction site. I saw it when we passed by earlier—the workers’ enthusiasm is truly high, let’s go and boost their spirits!"

Yan Fei continued as the guide: "The beef jerky factory here is almost ready; just move the machinery over later. Also, this vacant spot, this is where we plan to build the pollution treatment facilities. Assistant Meng, you might not know, but this river used to be all black..."
