Chapter 1554: Chapter 746: Director Xu’s Matter_2

Yan Fei left swiftly, while Director Xu in the room was still a bit irked and couldn’t help but snigger and say, "Ha ha, this youngster has quite a temper, huh! There are also several sizable cattle ranches in Wancheng City, which one does his family own?"

You’re planning to dwell on this, aren’t you?

Wang Yongcheng was also getting a bit agitated. To be honest, as someone in the construction industry, he had recently bid incorrectly on a piece of land belonging to Yan Fei. Afterwards, Director Xu’s colleagues added insult to injury, and this left him somewhat disgruntled.

Of course, in business, harmony is prized, and sometimes, even if there are grievances, what can you do about it? After all, it’s you who needs others’ resources right now, not the other way around, so even if you’re dissatisfied, you still have to suck it up.

But on the other hand, Director Xu was also meddling with things unrelated to his own work, and he did have various tasks from time to time. For big enterprises like Wang Yongcheng’s, cooperation with each other happened occasionally.

Now, seeing Director Xu’s attitude, it would be odd if Wang Yongcheng felt comfortable inside. No matter what, he had said this was his friend, and originally there was no issue. Just saying a few words should have been enough, why still bear a grudge? Can’t you give even a little face?

However, before Wang Yongcheng could speak up, Wang Lei smiled and picked up a bottle of liquor: "He’s just a young man, why should Director Xu take it to heart? Come on, this is a bottle of Maotai that Boss Wang has kept for nearly ten years, how about giving it a taste, Director Xu?"

"Young people, heh heh," Director Xu started laughing. If Wang Yongcheng had said this, he might have backed down gracefully, but Wang Lei’s words simply didn’t carry enough weight in his heart. "Young people just stepping into society need to learn some lessons to grow!"

"He’s not exactly fresh out of society," Wang Yongcheng finally couldn’t hold back anymore, damn it, he had never seen someone so devoid of courtesy. If it comes to that, I’ll just change my line of work, can’t I pee without your chamber pot, huh? "He is Yan Fei, from Cow Flower Company, and he’s got plenty of cattle. The scale is quite significant in our Province."

The scale is definitely significant, certainly number one in the province. If you count cattle distributed to the villages, there aren’t many farms of this scale nationwide. And if you take the profits into account, there are even fewer.

"Heh heh," Director Xu sneered as he filed away the name of Cow Flower Company and then said with a smile, "Let’s leave it, he’s just a young man, let’s not talk about him anymore. Boss Wang, what kind of program have you prepared for today?"

Although Wang Yongcheng was uncomfortable when he spoke just now, he didn’t let his emotions show in his tone, and since Director Xu was only thinking about how to teach young people a lesson, of course, he couldn’t guess that Wang Yongcheng was already getting dissatisfied.

Seeing Director Xu behaving this way, Wang Lei started to get anxious, but indeed, he couldn’t say much – if status among those present were to be ranked, he would just barely make third place, so he couldn’t speak up.

Wang Yongcheng is, after all, a businessman, and seeing that Director Xu wasn’t going to say more, he couldn’t very well continue the subject.

After all, it’s about valuing peace and harmony, right?

Yet, as the people chatted and laughed, the server had already started bringing out the dishes, with several cold dishes coming out first, which are the appetizers usually served at restaurants.

Currently, the catering business in Provincial City didn’t have many varieties to offer; the first dishes served were the likes of fungus, lotus vegetables, beef, and so forth – it was all about the attractive presentation to add some variety.

Director Xu took a slice of beef, chewed it in his mouth slowly, and felt as if he had forgotten something.

Seems like there was something, something he forgot?

It was all because of that young man just now; originally, it was a matter he should be quite concerned about, but now, why can’t he remember it?

Thinking of that young man, he also scoffed inwardly: "Hey, a cattle rancher..."

No, that thing he forgot, could it be related to cattle?

Cattle rancher? Beef? What exactly was it?

This happens to people at times; you know there’s something important that you need to remember, but at a certain moment, no matter how hard you try, you just can’t grasp the key point. That blurry feeling, like there’s some clue but you just can’t figure out the issue, is just one feeling: frustrating!

"Director Xu? What’s up with you?" In his daze, Director Xu faintly heard Wang Yongcheng’s question.

Actually, Wang Yongcheng and Wang Lei had seen him deep in thought and did not want to disturb him. Only after a while did they feel compelled to remind him—this wasn’t even the first reminder, this phrase had already been repeated once, but Director Xu hadn’t heard it.

Director Xu slowly emerged from his reverie, and seeing everyone at the table looking at him, he couldn’t help but smile wryly at himself: "Just now, I suddenly thought of something but couldn’t recall it, making a fool in front of you all. Come, come, come, I’ll down a glass to that!"

"No need to be so courteous, Director Xu, everyone, let’s all lift our glasses and drink to that with Director Xu!" Wang Yongcheng timely lifted his glass. Everyone laughed; the table was led by Director Xu, and everyone’s laughter was certainly not mockery, at most, it was just accompanying laughter.

After finishing the liquor in his glass, taking advantage of the moment Wang Lei stood up to pour more, Director Xu casually asked another question: "That young man just now, from Wancheng City? He raises cattle? Cow flower company?"

Though all his questions sounded inquiring, they weren’t pronounced with a strong interrogative tone, sounding more like he was talking to himself.

Hearing him mention this again, and having had a few drinks feeling the atmosphere was good, Wang Yongcheng laughed heartily: "Yes, Boss Yan owns his own farm, started it when he was just a teenager. Nowadays, young people like to express individuality, even the name he chose is very down-to-earth."

Down-to-earth?

Director Xu couldn’t help but chuckle, then his smile suddenly froze.

Down-to-earth?

Repeating these three words inside his mind, Director Xu suddenly remembered the very thing he had been pondering so hard about without success a moment ago.

"Old Xu, ah! I have some good news for you, do you know about our province’s Cow flower company? It’s the cattle farm that sells beef to Hong Kong. Their boss, I heard, has come to the Provincial City to study. This is an opportunity; you must seize it."

When he first heard these words, Director Xu’s initial reaction was: "The name they chose is quite down-to-earth indeed! But what do you mean the boss is coming to study? How old is this boss to still be going to school?"

"Hahaha!" The leader who was speaking to him laughed then and there. Don’t be fooled by the farm’s down-to-earth name, its scale is top-notch in our province, not only in terms of the number of cattle raised but also its profitability."

"As for their boss, you won’t believe it if I tell you, even I had doubts when I first heard. That young boss started from scratch without anyone’s help, all through his own efforts. And he’s taking the college entrance exams this year, probably only in his twenties!"

"Today’s youth are truly incredible, at such a young age, they’ve established such a big business and still strive to pursue further education. Young people like this, businesses like these, they have a limitless financial future!"

"Wancheng City’s various industries are all trying to find a way to connect with his enterprise, and now that their boss has come to the Provincial City, isn’t this our opportunity!"

At the time, Director Xu was somewhat confused, even though he hadn’t been transferred to the Provincial City before, but working in the finance department, he had definitely come into contact with plenty of wealthy people. But to be so young and just starting university, to have established the number-one cattle farm in the entire province with impressive profits, so impressive that the leaders are telling him to court this client, how rich could they be?

In fact, it’s not that much, the current Cow flower agriculture and animal husbandry company, apart from the major income from high-grade beef, also has higher profits from ordinary beef than other cattle farms, plus the cultivation of earthworms and mushrooms, and the newly established fertilizer factory, adding up to a total monthly profit of around thirty million at most!

Of course, that’s just the net profit.

Just thirty million in monthly net profit might not seem like much. However, another thing is that Cow flower agriculture and animal husbandry company’s expenses are really quite low, with surprisingly minimal costs needed.

Even though they regularly undertake projects and construct new factories, these expenditures are nothing compared to the vast profits.

How much does a factory cost anyway? Aside from the land and equipment, the labor cost is very low. Take the fertilizer plant for example—the salaries of the basic employees are even less than the electricity bill of the entire premises.

So essentially, this part of the net profit once it enters the bank, just sits in the account.
