Chapter 1728: Chapter 820 Environmental Protection Director Liu_2

Basically, this thirty percent is allocated because Boss White is responsible for operations, so he can claim thirty percent.

In fact, Yan Fei considered something else; since he didn’t plan on making much money from the gas station, it doesn’t matter if he gives away more. But he really can’t give too much, because dealing with someone like Boss White requires a balance of reward and warning. Yan Fei needs to handle the proportions wisely to ensure Boss White works diligently, instead of suddenly sending him "to dance with dragons in the wilderness".

After Bai Jianming saw the contract, he asked about Yan Fei’s attitude during his meeting with Boss White, and then came over with gifts.

Yan Fei didn’t hide anything from him and directly told him that he had some businesses that required a large amount of oil, so he wanted to open a gas station. As for past grievances, they were all resolved from the day the contract was signed.

Bai Jianming worked in a very stable unit and had a keen ability to read people, and seeing that Yan Fei’s attitude was genuine, he discussed with Boss White to ensure that he worked well.

In any case, Boss Yan is quite reputable in the province nowadays. For smaller businessmen, he’s like a golden advantage—beneficial without drawbacks. Moreover, he’s quite an extraordinary figure with some mysterious means—something Bai Jianming became more certain of after meeting Yan Fei, because Boss Yan is exceedingly young.

Investigating Boss Yan’s rise, it’s almost like a fabricated story. Who can believe a child just graduated from elementary school would dare to venture into cattle raising, and in a few short years become a tycoon in the cattle raising industry? Anyone saying it’s all ordinary means would be hard to believe, right?

Seeing is believing!

Facts prove that Boss Yan is indeed a man of his word. Since the partnership began, Bai Jianming initially gave his brother some tips, telling Boss White to use minor procedural issues to test Yan Fei.

Yan Fei didn’t bother to think deeply about these small tests, since he himself has a heap of senior brothers around!

Besides, with the name of the boss of a key provincial enterprise, who wouldn’t give him some face when dealing with various matters?

Confucius said: "To excel in studies leads to officialdom."

Nowadays, the saying has changed to "Excelling in business leads to officialdom"—not necessarily to hold a stable position, but referring to well-known institutions like Renmin University and political associations.

Most people take this into account in their considerations. It’s a must-consider factor, although two years ago Boss Yan’s age was a disadvantage, now it turned into an advantage—an under-eighteen billionaire university student, a well-known cattle enterprise in the province, closely cooperating with Hong Kong, and now exporting to the other side of Earth.

With someone like this handling matters, you’d need to be out of your mind to offend him, right?

So, the saying "difficult to access and hard to deal with" doesn’t exist for Boss Yan these days.

After hanging up the phone, Yan Fei asked a senior brother for the Environmental Protection Bureau’s phone number.

The voice at the other end was quite stern initially but became cordial as soon as Yan Fei introduced himself: "Boss Yan, please wait a moment. I’ll relay the message to Director Liu right away. He’s not in the office, should be returning your call shortly. Please wait a moment..."

Yan Fei, by now, was already at the entrance of the broadcasting hall, parked his car and received Director Liu’s call: "Boss Yan, it’s a pleasure, a pleasure, never had the chance to connect with you..."

After the call, Yan Fei told his wife with a bit of amusement: "Let’s go, it’s all sorted. The inspection procedures were stamped long ago; some other issues delayed handing them to Boss White."

Before entering, he didn’t forget to call Boss White: "Procedures are ready, rest assured. I’ll bring them over on the opening day."

Boss White hung up the phone, feeling both gloomy and pleasantly surprised, pondering a long time without understanding the reasons.

Why was Boss White particularly gloomy? Because when he used to do landscaping, he also dealt with environmental protection. Establishing a gas station this time was his first venture into such matters, with plenty of startup funds from Yan Fei. Hence, Boss White adhered strictly to all requirements. Without boasting, all indicators exceeded specified standards.

Yet, why couldn’t these procedures be secured?

Without Yan Fei’s explanation, Boss White might never understand this in his lifetime.

Director Liu’s implication was that it’s year-end, and the province’s environmental sector wants a typical case to showcase environmental efforts’ effectiveness.

This typical case is both easy and hard to find—not much need to say the reasons. Many are aware.

Many enterprises boast comprehensive environmental equipment, but having equipment doesn’t mean it’s always operational. Pollution is like pregnancy, you can deceive for a while, not forever. The local people see everything vividly, it’s hard to perpetuate fraud in such matters.

Yan Fei’s enterprise is private, which itself is a typical feature. Comparatively, most very stable units invest more in such aspects than private ones, generally. Moreover, once "Morning Glory" company is mentioned, it immediately conjures up images for most — not long since the reform and opening-up, many raised cattle before. Many now holding stable positions were in cow barns before!

Considering these factors, they decided to use "Morning Glory Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Co." as this promotional example.

There’s actually another untold reason; coincidentally, the head of the hall reached retirement age turning second in command wants to step up, aiming to increase exposure to enhance reputation. How to increase it? With inspections...

Director Liu, just heading the bureau, happened to have the means to exert some influence in this matter, so he aimed to establish a connection with Yan Fei.

It’s kind of a habit for some. Before any interaction, there’s a trial to understand, observe connections, to ease future dealings. Besides, giving a heads-up now would help Yan Fei coordinate better when needed...

There are many twists and turns, but Director Liu was straightforward enough. Without waiting for Yan Fei to ask, he directly informed that the procedures were done and offered to have them sent over.

Of course, Yan Fei wouldn’t actually let them deliver things straight to his door. As someone seasoned through years, he could perceive the goodwill from the other party, so he replied that he’ll pick them up tomorrow and maybe have a casual meal together if Director Liu has time...

This attitude was excellent; Director Liu didn’t express much but was visibly pleased.

For Director Liu, who conducted affairs comprehensively, his prepared plans wouldn’t only select this single enterprise; there were backup enterprises as well. Even if reported, it still depends if the higher-ups are satisfied to visit here.

However, at least for now, his initiatives proved effective. Even if not ultimately chosen, it would still show his efforts, making the right people notice, which is enough.

Yan Fei didn’t quite grasp the intricacies involved, let alone Boss White, who only interacted with personnel level staff.

Nonetheless, Yan Fei didn’t dwell much, considering that the accomplishment was beneficial for him—a chance to further promote the enterprise.

Running a business according to the rules without resorting to extraordinary means unless necessary. Isn’t this optimal now, preserving face and gaining substance?

Showing the ticket to enter the broadcasting hall, he took advantage of the break before the afternoon session to call Boss Li at Wanlong International Trade, to book a table for tomorrow.

Booking a table for a meal shouldn’t really disturb the biggest boss, but relationships are cultivated this way. If you don’t reach out to me and vice versa, when would the relationship blossom?

You phone today suggesting a meal, and the counterpart might propose a toast at the table when free. With acquaintances probably known to both sides, a few drinks shared later, such relationships crisscross forming nets!

Networking, it’s formed precisely this way.
