Chapter 467: Chapter 162 Beef Classification_1

Of course, marking the cows is the simplest issue. There still are a lot of other problems to consider. However, in this day and age, the majority of people’s credibility is trustworthy. Even if there are a few bad apples, there’s no need to be afraid.

This is a mutual cooperation issue. If someone intentionally tries to cheat, then the local police station can deal with this dishonest person. Even if the police station cannot manage, there are other methods to punish them.

Think about what sort of people Heizi, Ma Yongming, and others are in town. They may not be big shots, but there are very few issues in this tiny town that can stump them. There are plenty of solutions, so there’s no need to say more - even the hypothetical scenario of having murderers on the cattle farm is extremely unlikely, but mentioning it is quite deterrent.

As for Yan Fei’s original plan of giving two cows to each household, this isn’t fixed. Since it’s decided on a fifty-fifty split, raising one cow is the same! Each household will declare their conditions first, and then the cattle farm can inquire about their actual situation to see how many cows they should distribute.

This is also to prevent people from being overambitious and not being able to look after too many cows in the future.

Old Cheng made a comment at the last moment, "This seems to smell a bit like a former co-op!"

Everyone thought about it and it did indeed look alike.

However, it’s just the beginning now, this is all experimental, there’s no need to ponder so much. As the saying goes, just get started and once it’s done well, the rules will naturally form, everything advances through exploration.

The main thing is that everyone is quite convinced of Yan Fei’s money-making ability. Even if it doesn’t work out, it won’t be a big loss. He’s only fifteen years old by rural reckoning, so he’s not afraid of losing, he can always start over.

As Old Cheng put it, if this works out and lead everyone to a better life, it’s a great thing. Even if they suffer a little loss for a while, there will be more and more people benefiting from him afterwards, the path will get wider and wider. To make a joke, even if he recycles waste, given his reputation, he could starve all the other waste recyclers in the township.

Lin Baoguo suggested, "Since you are planning to distribute all the cows to the militia families for breeding in the early stage, then you can use the time when the militia is in training to hold a cattle breeding training class. Today they adopt one or two cows, maybe next year they will want to raise four or five. The rural cattle breeding experience is scattered, you have systematic knowledge from books, you can give them a lecture. No pressure here, people who want to learn can come listen, and if they don’t, that’s okay too!"

Tutor others? Yan Fei is a bit reluctant on that, but considering that they’re raising cows to earn him money, he reluctantly agrees to it.

Ma Yongming simply said, "Xiao Fei is doing a good deed. Shouldn’t the town support him a bit? Not to mention money, at least show some attitude! They should request upper management for training from the county’s Agricultural Technology Station, invite some experienced masters to teach. Xiao Fei cannot be expected to do everything. Do you want to tire him out?"

Lin Baoguo merely thought for a moment before nodding, "Alright, I’ll report this to the town. The job benefits everyone, we must use all available resources. They don’t need to pay anything. All they need to do is find someone to give a lecture, I’m sure that won’t be hard to manage."

Yan Fei wasn’t too thrilled, "I’m just finding someone to raise some cattle, is there a need to involve the town?"

Pang Fa laughed, "Now Boss Yan is the leading cattle farmer in the town. With the recent success of the bezoar, you might just become the richest person in our town! It’s just that you’re young, and people don’t really understand your temperament yet, otherwise, you’d be treated to meals wherever you go, believe it or not!"

Ma Yongming also laughed, "Indeed, you’ve achieved more in this past year than I have playing with mud for several years. Also, you’re one who travels to the Provincial City daily, surely you’re not afraid of dealing with the leaders of the township? Rest assured, as long as you can lead the people of the township to fortune, they’ll trip over themselves to curry favor with you. Just be yourself, and no one would dare to say a thing!"

Lin Baoguo encouraged him, "Exactly, if you pull this off, not just the town, even if you go sit in the county government, the county mayor would serve you tea. Just go ahead and do it. If you don’t want to handle any public relations, we won’t just stand by and watch. Relax!"

Yan Fei was left a little embarrassed by their praises, "We still don’t know if we’ll be able to pull it off!"

Everyone laughed. This guy spoke modestly, but his expression clearly indicated there was nothing he believed he couldn’t do!

This self-confidence was genuine!

Pang Fa asked Yan Fei, "Will you continue to slaughter cattle?"

Everyone was aware of how he had sold beef for Yan Fei during the New Year. Ma Yongming joked, "What’s the matter? Have you tasted the sweet profit? I think you should specialize in selling beef. If the market in the county is saturated, you can move to the city. Visit all the big restaurants, discuss the prices with them, offer them lower prices, and ensure there’s a profit margin. This business can be done in the long run. Maybe it’s even better than running that small shop of yours!"

Considering the profit he made from slaughtering cattle, Yan Fei thought it was feasible and agreed, "As long as you think it can be sold, we will slaughter. We have more than ten well-fed cattle in the yard. Let’s keep them and slaughter gradually. Anyway, I don’t have to sell cattle to have money to buy new ones for the yard!"

"Don’t worry, we will definitely be able to sell. When I went to sell, I heard from experts that your beef is excellent. It reminds me that I must learn more about this business. otherwise, even though others praise it, if I don’t know what’s good, how can I sell?", said Pang Fa enthusiastically, as though only his personal guarantee to Yan Fei was missing.

With that said, Yan Fei remembered something else, "Oh, if we slaughter more cattle in the future, I’ll ask in the provincial city next time to see where we can sell the hides. We should sell to those who directly use the hides. The price will definitely be higher than the resellers. We also have to find a market for the bezoar... Wait, I need to get a pen and paper to note all these things down."

So saying, he really fetched a pen and paper and started to write down the tasks he intended to manage.

Everyone did not laugh this time. This serious attitude was indeed required for serious matters.

Seeing the first item in his list was about finding Old Pan to discuss cattle-raising, Lin Baoguo said directly, "You don’t need to look for him. I’ll see him tomorrow and I’ll mention it to him. He would be pleased. I can repay the favor of the meal he treated me to last time. You don’t need to go, it will save me a meal!"

Lin Baoguo seemed genuinely pleased, though no one knew why he was so happy.

Yan Fei crossed off that task and wrote the second one: Harass the Forestry Bureau.

Everyone was puzzled and wondered, "Is the Forestry Bureau a place you disturb when you have nothing to do? What does this mean?"

Heizi quickly explained the matter that they had been discussing. Lin Baoguo nodded, "That works. You have more right to push for it as a party involved than any of us. They need to come up with some guidelines for raising these animals. They can’t just let you raise them without knowing the rules."

The next priorities were the issue of finding a market for the bezoar and hides, and preparing to bring some earthworm powder to the Provincial City. Just then, Ma Yongming came up with another point, "Wait, don’t be in a hurry. I recall Wang Yue saying something important. Let me think..."

He thought for a while with a furrowed brow, then suddenly slapped his thigh, "Yes, it’s about the beef. I seem to have heard her say that in big cities, beef has different grades. If it’s high-grade beef, the price is significantly higher. It’s not like here where beef, regardless of its kind, is almost the same price. You’re going to the Provincial City aren’t you? Take note, beef is graded. Inquire about it and when you come back, let’s see if our beef is high-grade."

Turning to Pang Fa, he continued, "And you, when you go to the city to sell the beef, also inquire about it. Try the upscale restaurants. Maybe the price for good beef is even higher! I remember, our Wan City cattle, it was even mentioned in textbooks..."

Yan Fei noted it down seriously: Beef is graded!
