Chapter 500: Chapter 192 Respect for Your Likeness_1

The foreigner and the woman, who was obviously Chinese but had a Western name, haggled for a long time before finally reaching an agreement on the price of the beef. The foreigner then turned to Yan Fei and said, "’You see, dear Xiao Fei, this is reality. This is premium beef, but it doesn’t garner the respect it deserves here..."

"Dear Will, I appreciate your respect for the beef. I’m very satisfied with this price!" said Yan Fei cheerfully, imitating the foreigner’s tone. "How long will it take you to sell all this beef? I still have ten more cows and I can keep supplying you with beef."

He was extremely satisfied, in fact, the weight of the beef was less than two hundred catties, which was less than a third of the meat a cow could provide, yet it was sold for almost the price of a whole cow—even though it was the price of a live cow.

He really loved this foreigner’s respect for the beef, the more respect the better.

Perhaps this foreigner was right, if given the opportunity in the future, he should scale up, raise the quality of the beef to a higher level, and then earn foreign money.

As for how to improve the quality of the beef, that was very simple; the cows that are slaughtered now were bred for four months—in fact, previously they were fattened for three months, but this time they were given a few more days because it was the New Year.

If they were raised for five or six months, that would be the top-grade beef! He thought about the heart-stopping prices that Mr. Will, this foreigner, had just mentioned. Yan Fei realized that these foreigners are really foolish with their money— Mr. Will finally won Yan Fei’s ’respect’ by his ’respect’ for beef, recalling that his name was Will.

"We still need to plan on that. Do you have any contact information? Can we discuss and contact you? " Yan Fei asked the foreigner and Linda when to deliver the beef next time, and they glanced at each other, then the woman spoke.

"No, how long do you need to discuss? I will be in the provincial city for the next few days, I guess I will have to come back later!" Yan Fei’s cattle farm did not have a telephone and it was too far from the town, so even making a phone call to call him was impossible.

"Can you come once before you leave? Sorry for the trouble. I think now that we have good beef, we could revise our marketing strategy. Perhaps next time you come, the price could be a bit higher. You heard it just now, the price we gave you does not match their grade." The woman said, slightly apologetic.

"No problem, if there’s nothing else, I’ll go first, and I’ll come back in a few days..." Yan Fei was about to take the money and leave.

"No, no, no, Xiao Fei, can I call you that? I think we still need to discuss many things about beef. See, all the beef you brought is from near the spine, but actually, there are other parts suitable for steak that you missed..." Upon seeing that Yan Fei was about to leave, the foreign man started to hold him back.

Because of what he said, Yan Fei stayed for a few more minutes, which was a great deal as next time he will bring more beef. According to this price, if he sells two-fifths of the beef from a whole cow here, no matter how much money he gets from the remaining three-fifths of the beef, including the internal organs, cowhide, and blood, he will be making a profit.

He no longer had to worry about his remaining beef not being wanted in the local market, after all, it was already a profitable business. Anyone who dared to compare the price with him, he would let them lose a fortune! Yan Fei was delighted as he took his money and left, standing on the street in the clear morning, feeling refreshed.

Boy, was that satisfying—he was thrilled!

After checking the time and doing some thinking, he decided to take the cowhide he had with him to the leather factory to sell it as well. What annoyed him was that the old man measured it for a long time and was even more frustrated than he was—the size was just a little bit short of being considered premium cowhide.

However, it was already good enough. Yan Fei believed that the remaining cows would grow a bit more, and perhaps that would suffice.

On his way to school, he realized that he had made the right choice in raising cows.

In Wan City, many restaurant owners who deal in beef usually slaughter their own cows. Without exception, what they slaughter were calves.

The Wan City cattle’s characteristic was that the calves grew the fastest before they were six months old, then the growth slows down a little. So most farmers decided to sell the calves at this time.

Of course, the reason beef restaurants choose calves is definitely not for this reason, they simply just need it for their businesses. Selling an entire adult cow in one or two days is impossible, and cleaning an adult cow is too troublesome, so the best choice would be to slaughter calves.

If he could earn money just by selling this high-quality beef, then he could totally find a few partner beef restaurants to handle the leftover beef bones and beef offal.

Now he understood the ’market’, even if the restaurant with the foreign chef doesn’t want his beef, he wouldn’t be afraid, he could always find other high-end restaurants.

Wan City was located at the junction of three provinces, the distance from the Sancha River to the provincial capital was less than six hundred miles according to the map and the distance to the capital cities of the other two neighboring provinces was a little over six hundred miles and close to seven hundred miles respectively.

This distance was calculated based on the winding provincial and national roads. If you calculate the straight-line distance, they would be pretty much the same.

If he bred cattle on a large scale, he could slaughter a cow every day to sell. Originally, fattening a cow for three months would earn about a thousand yuan, and if he slaughtered it himself and sold it locally, it would earn about two thousand yuan.

But if he sold the beef according to this grade and sold two-fifths of the beef at a high price, he could earn double the money. That was—over a million in a year if he slaughtered three hundred cows a year!

Of course, this was just an estimate. He hadn’t deducted the cost of breeding for several months, although the average cost wasn’t high. However, if he raised more cattle, there would be more costs involved, the total cost would definitely increase, and he couldn’t rely solely on selling wine to cover daily expenses. Personal labor and fodder cost, including prevention and extermination of diseases and other miscellaneous expenses, would all double.

However, even after taking these factors into account, earning a million a year was absolutely possible.

A million! This did not include his partnering cattle breeders...

Yan Fei wiped off his saliva, he couldn’t do any counting anymore, if he continued, he wouldn’t be able to stop salivating. Best dealing with the matter at hand first! He only had ten cows left that could be slaughtered immediately. It seemed that his noble cause of fattening needed to be expanded.

Also, he needed to find out what this WTO thing was when he got back. Sooner or later, he would sell his beef to those rich and silly foreigners. If he didn’t make money from these idiots, wouldn’t he be a bigger idiot?

Feeling cheery, he got to the school and from afar saw the girl leaning over the balcony, not minding the cold, and aimlessly reading a book. As though there was spiritual connection, when he looked over, the girl just raised her head.

Yan Fei checked to make sure no one was around, then pulled out the colorful money he’d just earned from his bag, waving it at the girl.

The girl turned and started running towards the dorm, practically bounding down the stairs. Out of breath, she complained, "Aren’t you tired? How do you still have the energy to wave?"

"Not tired! Look how much I made selling beef and hides today!" Yan Fei handed the money to the girl, looking very pleased with himself.

"Hold onto the money for now. Have you eaten?" The girl took the money and shoved it back into his bag, then gently grabbed his arm. "Let’s go home and cook something. Rest a bit this morning! I learned a new recipe last night, I’ll let you try it when you wake up at noon!"

"Hmm!" Yan Fei was thrilled.

This wife of his was becoming more considerate by the day. She used to flip out at the sight of money, but now she was putting cooking before counting cash. Wonderful!

Having a break was nice, no one was around in the school, and the girl was even brave enough to walk arm in arm with him.

Once back, the girl pushed him onto a chair and swiftly made a big bowl of poached eggs. After watching him eat, she pushed him towards the bedroom: "Go to sleep, hurry and sleep..."

Sigh...

This overly considerate wife was not necessarily a good thing!

He clearly wasn’t tired, but he was forced to lay in bed pretending to sleep!

"How much beef did you bring with you? This must be from an entire cow!" The girl sitting on the edge of the bed counting money couldn’t help but whisper.

"Guess!"

"I don’t want to guess, just tell me, then go to sleep!"

"Hehe..."

Yan Fei happily explained to her the foreigners’ ’respect’ for beef, which made her very happy.

They chatted and murmured for a while. After some time, the girl remembered she was supposed to make him sleep. So, reluctantly, Yan Fei closed his eyes and started daydreaming...

He couldn’t sneak a peek at Jurassic World because the girl was sitting next to him, counting money and beaming at him...

So miserable!

"What should I do if I can’t sleep?" After lying there for a while, Yan Fei couldn’t hold back.

"Even if you can’t sleep, you should try. You’re just overtired; lying down for a bit will help. Sleep, I’m here watching over you!"

"Hmm, why don’t you come lie down too? You look like you’re about to fall asleep sitting up..."

"Who said that, I didn’t stay up all night. Don’t flatter yourself..."

"You definitely didn’t sleep well last night, come up! Sitting there must be tiring, it’s not like I haven’t held you before... come on, come on..."

"I don’t want to..."

"Come on, come on, it’s a bit cold by myself! Get up here!"

"Hmm... okay! But you can’t do anything naughty!"

"Don’t worry..."

Unable to withstand his constant nagging, she finally blushed and took off her jacket to climb into bed.

As a result, she fell asleep within minutes, while Yan Fei remained wide awake!

She must truly not have slept well last night...

Yan Fei brushed a tendril of hair off her forehead and lightly kissed her, then adjusted his posture to make her more comfortable...

He was so happy!
