Chapter 1364: Chapter 664: The Rainy Season at 17 Years Old

Speaking of salary, Boss Yan was brimming with confidence, "Starting off, the salary would be eight hundred, but with benefits included, you could net at least a thousand yuan a month. Food, clothing, housing, and transport are all taken care of by the farm, with communal meals and work clothes provided. There are even motorcycles available for use if you want to go out nearby, and fuel expenses are reimbursed. You basically won’t need to spend any of your own money."

"Also, my enterprise is now a leader in driving local wealth, with our cooperative farming model. Without boasting too much, it has improved the lives of over three thousand households in the village. Besides raising cattle, we’re growing Agaricus bisporus mushrooms, breeding earthworms, and the village also has vegetable greenhouses. Collective sales are implemented, ensuring that farmers and breeders won’t be taken advantage of by buyers."

The last part was a trump card. As soon as Yang Hongqi heard about leading the villagers to a better life, he forgot all about the benefits mentioned earlier and eagerly asked, "Could I inquire how much initial capital is needed for planting Agaricus bisporus mushrooms and breeding earthworms?"

Yan Fei chuckled, "You should know that growing Agaricus bisporus requires greenhouses that block out light, not just any plastic film greenhouse. As for raw materials, it mainly uses cow dung and straw. Earthworm breeding is similar; you can figure out the cost yourself."

Yang continued to inquire, "Then there won’t be any problems with market access, right? How do you sell the products? Oh, and another thing, we have some water shortages where I’m from, and the soil quality isn’t great. Can I still do this?"

Yan Fei smiled again, "Our lab has conducted research on both these things. Senior brother Liu is not only in charge of the lab, but he’s also responsible for these two technologies. Moreover, he’s previously built his own greenhouses and grown Agaricus bisporus. You can go straight to him for advice on these issues, he will definitely give you a satisfactory answer."

Yang Hongqi suddenly felt embarrassed, remembering that he was here for a job interview, not to be taught how to become wealthy. Realizing this, he lost some of his earlier self-assurance and hesitantly asked, "So, Boss Yan, do you think I could work in your lab?"

He who humbles himself wishes to benefit. Conversely, when one seeks another’s help, they naturally or unnaturally lower their stance. Now, not only could Yan Fei offer Yang Hongqi a satisfactory job, but he could also provide him with opportunities to find wealth. For Yang, these were vitally important, so his question came with a hint of deference.

"Of course you can. If you couldn’t, I wouldn’t have told you so much earlier," Yan Fei was quite pleased with him because Yang hadn’t asked about the technically simpler vegetable greenhouse cultivation, due to the poor soil quality and water shortage he’d mentioned.

Both mushroom cultivation and worm breeding could enrich the soil and improve its quality. Yang Hongqi had the specialized knowledge in this field; he was well aware of that.

In summary, while the man might be somewhat of an Angry Youth, with a not-so-charming personality, he at least had a clear direction, and that was enough.

When Yan Fei agreed, Yang Hongqi immediately lit up with excitement, appearing as though he wished he could start right then and there. Without waiting for him to ask, Yan Fei said, "Senior brother Liu came with me. He has some other business to attend to, and I’m waiting to go back with him. If you’re not busy, we can leave together in a couple of days after he’s finished, how’s that?"

"Yes!" Yang nodded hastily. "Should I go back and get ready now?"

"No rush, it’s still two days away! But if you want to go back and pack, go ahead, there’s nothing left for you here." Yan Fei said with a smile.

Yang Hongqi stood up, bid farewell to the two professors, and managed to contain his impatience as he walked out the door. As soon as the door closed, they heard him rushing off, clearly in high spirits.

Once Yang left the room, Professor He began to voice his opinion, "You’ve led the man away, now let’s talk about your business. Aren’t you just messing around? Look at what you’ve written here, with all these Tyrannosaurus and hadrosaurs. Are you raising cattle or dinosaurs? Have you no serious commitment?"

Yan Fei objected, "How am I not serious? Can’t I have a hobby?"

"It’s fine to have hobbies. But with good conditions and your own lab, why not do some serious research instead of dabbling in these frivolous pursuits? Isn’t that a waste of resources and youth?" Professor He scorned.

"I can afford to waste!" Yan Fei retorted. "Now I earn several tens of millions, even up to a billion a year, not worried about wasting resources at all. And as for wasting youth, I’m not even eighteen yet! Alas, it’s quite sad, the bride is ready, but there are still several years till I’m of marriageable age."

This was typical of Boss Yan—when in high spirits, he spoke more directly.

Professor Qi chuckled at this, while Professor He was speechless, choked up with reaction. Xu Xiaoyan blushed, vowing to herself to sort out that shameless character once she got home...

With the others silent, Yan Fei even started humming an old song from a few years back, with his custom lyrics: "In the rainy season when I was seventeen, I had already made a billion, everyday fretting about how to spend all that money..."

In terms of keeping up with popular trends, Boss Yan was always a bit behind. Relying on his good memory, he could hum a few lines from many popular songs, but to sing them entirely with correct lyrics—there were not many he could manage.
