Chapter 1393: Chapter 677: Boss Zeng Local Specialty Beef Steak_2

There were no particularly amazing deals, as the products brought to the Yellow Cattle Festival were all local specialities produced by various counties according to the local conditions, such as agaric fungus and other ingredients, along with some medicinal materials.

Among the deals, both parties were acquaintances of Yan Fei, one being Boss Luo who was purchasing Agaricus bisporus, and the other being Secretary Tan from Xiliu Township.

Secretary Tan had initially visited Yan Fei to seek advice on how to gain wealth. It seemed that after not finding a good method, he turned to cultivating mushrooms and fungus locally, which was only in the beginning stages but, unexpectedly, the festival brought him a major customer, which was a nice surprise.

Boss Luo had always been involved in sourcing excellent food ingredients from various places, and he reaped plenty at the Yellow Cattle Festival. Besides procuring what was already available, he had also signed a purchasing agreement for small chili peppers—the ones he had eagerly hoped for since last year, which were no longer in their harvest season and not even in the chili buying season, but that was not an issue. The key was that he now had an agreement, which could display dazzling figures.

As the afternoon was nearing its end, Yan Fei also got his deal—Boss Ning from Jiang City finally made up his mind and decided to collaborate with Yan Fei.

Of course, the agreement was not signed on the spot, and there were many details to discuss. For example, Yan Fei pointed out that even if Boss Ning decided to order now, he himself had no stock available and had to wait.

Ordinary quality beef would require at least about a month and a half to wait, according to Yan Fei’s own estimate, and the agreement might need a bit of extension. As for premium beef, because there had always been a complete supply plan in place, it was less troublesome.

Boss Ning had also considered this beforehand and had already gathered information, so he immediately said that these were not problems. The only issue was whether the advance payment could be reduced.

Yan Fei expressed, "Normally, since you came to the deal, I should offer a discount, but the problem is that the customers I had before already set the rules, and in other respects, such as when you decide to order and any special requests you might have for the supply, I can try my best to accommodate.

"But if you break these rules, I really can’t justify it to my past customers—especially since right now, I only have a few customers, and that one from Hong Kong makes up over eighty percent of my business volume here. I can’t afford to offend them!"

In any case, that’s how business negotiations are; when money can’t be negotiated, the conversation can still be kept polite, right? Although for Boss Yan, his business might not be the biggest in the mainland, at least not in the neighboring provinces, he had not heard of any competitors. But in business talks, even if you have a monopoly, there’s no need to act all high and mighty and adopt an ’take it or leave it’ attitude.

Boss Ning was not new to this either, Yan Fei stated all the facts and he had already researched this himself. So, he just made some simple requests and said, "Let’s follow the rules then!"

The requests he made weren’t much—just that when supplying, he might not be able to fix the exact times for picking up the goods like Yan Fei’s previous customers—after all, he was a middleman, depending on when his own customers had demand to supply. After all, beef is something that, if refrigerated for insurance reasons, is not only bothersome but also costly.

Yan Fei understood this very well, as he had a small cold storage facility, and the Meat Processing Factory he currently managed also had a large one. He knew that using a cold storage facility consumed a lot of electricity, not charged by month, but by day.

As they were wrapping up the talk, the afternoon activities of the Yellow Cattle Festival also ended, and Yan Fei naturally said, "Boss Ning, it just happens to be dinner time. How about we go and try some of the beef from my place? I also have homemade wine there, which would be great for you to try."

Boss Ning, who had sought business with Yan Fei, had done thorough research beforehand, so he did not feel that it was too shabby for Yan Fei not to invite him to a fancy restaurant. As Director Nan said in the morning, Boss Yan’s beef was famous, and his wine was not bad either—capable of making people from Imperial City come especially to carry it back home; in certain circles, Boss Yan’s wine was even more famous than his beef.

Seeing Boss Ning agreed, Yan Fei made a call beforehand to his farm to prepare something in the kitchen.

When he ran into Chairman Dong, from a distance Chairman Dong smiled and called out, "Younger Brother Yan, tonight Old Li is treating, we are planning to go to Hundred Flavors Fish Restaurant for fish. Do you want to join us?"

Yan Fei laughed, "What fish? I have it too. Let’s go together, my place’s fish won’t be worse than the one in that restaurant you mentioned, and I also have beef they don’t have. Let’s all go together, today I am stealing Old Li’s business, not letting him treat."

Director Liu smiled and said, "Really? Do you have that high-class restaurant’s red wine steak?"

Yan Fei laughed again, "I really don’t have the red wine, but speaking of steak, Brother Liu just tell me how many cattle you’d like?"

"Ha ha ha..." Everyone laughed happily, and after interacting for two days, even those who hadn’t gotten along much before knew that Yan Fei was an easy-going person. They immediately decided to go to Boss Yan’s cattle farm for steak.

The first dish that was served stunned everyone.

Old Liu stared at a big plate of fish fillets, a bit dumbfounded he asked, "Younger Brother Yan, I am less educated and haven’t seen much, but are you sure this is the catfish you mentioned? Does your catfish grow legs?"
