Chapter 1544: Chapter 742 Copyright Idol

Back in the early years, there were only a few Mercedes-Benz models to choose from, and at most, you could select a color when placing a pre-order. There really weren’t many options available.

The domestic dealerships had a few more models to choose from, but that was only because they had older models in stock. Otherwise, there would be no need to choose; you might as well just draw lots for the available models.

Miss Xu Xiaoyan pointed out two models that required pre-ordering, leaving only two available for immediate selection, both of which were quite similar in style. However, one of them was even purplish-red, so she had no choice but to go for the last model.

Yan Fei immediately made a decision: "Let’s go with this one. Do you handle the license plate registration here? Once the car arrives, help me get it registered."

The girl serving tea beside them innocently asked, "Does Boss Yan still want to pre-order those two models?"

Yan Fei glanced at his wife, and Xu Xiaoyan shook her head right away: "One car for both of us is enough. Let’s not waste money. It’s wasteful to buy so many and not use them."

"What waste? If I have to go out, it’s good to have a spare car for you!" Yan Fei said nonchalantly.

Nowadays, buying a couple more of these cars didn’t put any pressure on him. Even the ’private money’ he couldn’t account for was enough to buy two cars.

"I wouldn’t want to drive this kind of car. These are more suitable for you to drive. Do you think it looks good on me?" The girl spoke her mind.

Yan Fei looked at the cars in the showroom and quickly caught on: "Alright, when you see a car you like on the street later, we’ll buy it then."

As they were leaving the dealership after placing the order, the middle-aged man and the young man were already waiting at the entrance. The middle-aged man greeted them with open arms: "Hello, Boss Yan. I’m Gong Deli from Jindeli Leather Factory. I’m truly sorry about the incident earlier. Could you give me a chance to make it up to you by treating both of you to lunch today?"

Yan Fei had guessed the man’s intention when he saw Gong Deli waiting at the entrance. He had even thought of an excuse to decline, but when he heard that Gong Deli owned a leather factory, he changed his mind: "I am Yan Fei. Hello, Boss Gong. I’m okay with having lunch, but if you’re talking about making amends, then I wouldn’t dare to join!"

Boss Gong immediately burst into laughter: "Boss Yan is so straightforward! Alright then, let’s just have lunch. Is that fine?"

Before the two could decide where to go for lunch, Yan Fei’s phone rang. Will urged on the other end of the line, "Dear Yan, have you made up your mind yet about the movie rights?"

Yan Fei answered with a laugh: "I’m already in Provincial City. I’ve just met a friend. How about we come over to your place after lunch?"

"Why don’t you come to my place for lunch if you’re already here?" Will was practically a local, speaking the regional language fluently. "Are you trying to snub me? You’re dining elsewhere while a friend owns a steakhouse. Hurry over. I can’t wait to see the movie production that I helped facilitate!"

Unable to refuse Will, Yan Fei hung up and turned to Gong Deli: "I’m sorry, Boss Gong, I don’t know if you’re accustomed to Western food, but I have a friend who owns a steakhouse, and he insists that we eat there."

Gong Deli was taken aback: "Are you talking about that steakhouse with the foreign chef? The one that was small before but recently moved to a bigger location?"

Yan Fei nodded: "That’s the one. Boss Gong might not know what I do. I’m into cattle ranching and he is one of my clients; I supply beef to him."

"Morning Glory beef?" Gong Deli’s eyes lit up immediately.

Seeing Yan Fei nod, Gong Deli became even more enthusiastic: "So you are the famous big boss behind Morning Glory beef! I was wondering which youthful boss was buying two Mercedes-Benzes at once. I didn’t expect to run into such an important person today!"

After their conversation, Gong Deli had his nephew drive them directly to the steakhouse in his own car. Upon entering, Will, wearing a chef’s coat, ran out from the back kitchen: "Xiao Fei, you really let me down! I had to invite you myself for you to show up, that’s not very friendly! Whatever you want to eat, let me cook for you and then we can talk business!"

After ordering their meal, Will hurried back to the kitchen, and Gong Deli inquired, "Apart from this steakhouse, the beef served in the eateries owned by Miss Guo of Hong Kong, is that also supplied by you, Boss Yan?"

Yan Fei nodded: "Yes, but initially, Will was my only customer. Later, when Guo Jingya found me, that’s when my business really took off."

"You’re seriously low-key!" Gong Deli exclaimed with a thumbs up. "Now, Miss Guo’s restaurants have quite a reputation in several cities in the south!"

Yan Fei changed the subject: "All that’s just show. I’m just a cattle rancher. It’s enough to supply good beef to others. By the way, Boss Gong, I wanted to ask, what is your main line of business? How is the market for leather goods?"

It was only during their conversation that Yan Fei found out that Gong Deli, who spoke flawless Provincial City dialect, was actually not a local but had come from the south.

Gong Deli was a key salesperson in a furniture factory in his youth. He noticed the factory was declining year after year, and new people with connections in the sales department were good at grabbing orders but not adept at handling business. Resigned in frustration, he went into business on his own and started to make his way.

Although the road to business ownership was a bit rough for Gong Deli, overall it went fairly smoothly. Originally, in the south, his enterprise mainly used water buffalo leather, but after starting his own business in Provincial City, he switched to local yellow cattle leather. Yellow cattle leather, compared to water buffalo leather, had clear advantages, so it didn’t take long for Gong Deli to win over many of his old customers.
