Chapter 1423: Chapter 690: Boss Niu’s Hometown

"Director Niu, do you think if Boss Yan comes over and I directly propose a cooperation, will he agree?"

"Old Qu, you’ve asked that at least ten times now! Whether Boss Yan agrees or not, I can’t guarantee it for you, but I can assure you he’s a stand-up guy. As long as it’s for a friend, he absolutely won’t let us down," laughed Old Niu from the cement plant.

They were at a crossroads leading from Guxi Township to the county seat of Tanghe County. Behind Director Niu stood his son, and next to them was a man who looked over fifty with somewhat graying hair—the one who had just asked the question—and like Director Niu, he had a young man standing behind him.

Guxi Township not only had mountains and water but also a temple.

Whether it was the landscape or the ancient temple, which had been destroyed and rebuilt several times and had a history of three to four hundred years, both were well-preserved. The scenery had not been spoiled or polluted, and there was a sizeable lake, with the ancient temple also quite intact.

However, none of this was very useful; in China, the thing least lacking is scenic ancient sites. In economically underdeveloped places like Tanghe County, with insufficient promotion and inconvenient transportation, having a scenic area truly isn’t all that great—having mountains and waters is good, but for the locals, it means less arable land per capita.

To city dwellers, living in a place with beautiful mountains and waters is like living a fairy tale existence. But to locals, sometimes they really wish they could transform into the Foolish Old Man, moving the mountain in front of them to create fertile land and make the roads around here a little less winding.

Especially now, when economic development is a priority everywhere. There’s a saying that knows—building roads comes before wealth, but in places with mountains, the cost of building a single road can be several times that of elsewhere. With limited funds, guess which area gets priority consideration?

Guxi Township only had one major business, and that was Director Niu’s cement plant.

Locally, Director Niu wasn’t nearly as unassuming as Yan Fei—some might question whether Boss Yan is even unassuming?

Only those familiar with local circumstances could understand how unassuming Boss Yan, a billionaire entrepreneur, really was in a small township. His everyday demeanor... was exceedingly low-key.

Director Niu didn’t consider himself flashy or arrogant either. He had once hung a title associated with the county government and currently bore the mantle of humanity’s magnanimity. Rubbing shoulders with the town mayor and secretary was also an ordinary affair.

Additionally, with a bunch of workers and security guards under him, he had a strong base of support. Despite being modest outside, locally he was an unquestioned figure.

So when Yan Fei called to say that he planned to come over today for a visit, Old Niu didn’t hesitate to invite Secretary Qu, referred to as Old Qu.

And of course, Secretary Qu was delighted to accompany him, after all, he was receiving the big boss leading Tanghe County’s industry. Getting on good terms with someone like that, for an impoverished town, was only beneficial and not at all harmful—ordinarily, he would have liked to do so, but that needed an opportunity!

Sancha River Township was only about thirty to forty kilometers away from Guxi Township as the crow flies, but the roads between townships weren’t so convenient, and it was necessary to go through the county town. So the journey ended up being about fifty to sixty kilometers.

Even with poorer road conditions, Yan Fei didn’t arrive too late.

Around eight in the morning, a large truck came rolling in. From a distance, seeing Director Niu standing at the crossroads, Yan Fei stopped the vehicle, jumped down, while Director Niu and the person next to him were still peering into the distance, waiting to see Boss Yan’s Mercedes Benz S600!

It wasn’t until Yan Fei approached that Old Niu reacted, glancing at the beautiful woman who looked outrageously gorgeous next to him, then at the big truck behind him, Director Niu was almost at a loss for words: "Younger Brother Yan, you... why have you come in this vehicle..."

Though Old Niu was worldly, seeing a billionaire big boss in a shabby semi-trailer on a trip with his wife, it took him a while to comprehend.

Actually, not just him, but even Secretary Qu next to him was dumbfounded!

Yan Fei laughed heartily, winking at him: "This truck has a great view, it’s convenient to drive! These two are your friends? Aren’t you going to introduce us?"

It was then that Director Niu snapped out of his daze, putting aside his doubts to eagerly make introductions.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, as Old Niu was about to drive to lead the way, Yan Fei found an opportunity to pull Old Niu aside and ask, "Brother Niu, I’ve got a tiger and a black bear on my truck, along with a sable. Those two golden eagles in the sky are mine too, I’m planning to take them out in the mountains for a bit of fun. Is it alright if Secretary Qu follows along?"

Old Niu was startled for a moment, then burst into hearty laughter, "Younger Brother Yan, you... you’re really careful! Rest assured, it’s no problem. Secretary Qu isn’t a stickler; this little thing really isn’t a big deal."

That was the subtlety of Yan Fei’s discretion—in reality, he had the Forestry Bureau’s endorsement. Not to mention taking a tiger out for a stroll, even if he pulled them around for paid exhibitions, with the stamped and approved papers, no one could find fault with it.

But Boss Yan felt, even if it was an overt matter, being a little cautious didn’t matter—after all, no one would think him an easy touch, and those who did mess with him rarely had a chance to regret... like that resolute Boss Zeng.
