Chapter 516: Chapter 204: Climbing Ladder and Swing_1

"Oh, oh, oh, oh, look who’s here... The very one I’ve been eagerly awaiting, Xiao Fei, finally you show up!" In the steak house of the Provincial City, the foreign chef let out a rooster-like crow of delight upon seeing Yan Fei, his tone was radically lively, expressing his thrill.

It seems the price of my beef can go up, Yan Fei murmured, while resisting his extreme discomfort towards this foreigner’s enthusiasm.

Because of the scarce cow purchase in the morning, Yan Fei carried the meat to the ranch to get it ready, even skipping lunch, to rush to the Provincial City! As for everything else, he let others take care of it. After all, everyone has their strengths, be it signing fingerprints to release cattle or gathering intel, there was no need for him to stick around.

"You really should have stayed for our ’ladder climb’. Initially, I was a bit worried that the taste of the meat might be affected after having been stored for two days, but as it turned out, our ’ladder climb’ was a great success. Your beef is even better than I had imagined. The only regret was that you, the provider of the beef, were not there. Otherwise, I think a lot of people would like to be your friend." The foreigner gushes excitedly.

What ladder climb? Isn’t it just a bunch of people gathering for a meal? Why not call it a swing?! Yan Fei was muttering in his heart, always criticizing this man inside whenever they talk.

"Okay, enough chit-chat, weigh these beef and pay me! I’m busy at home, I have to rush back tonight." Yan Fei urged the foreigner.

The last time Yan Fei delivered beef was on the fifteenth of the first month. The party that the foreigner was preparing for that day was postponed to the next day. When Yan Fei came to say goodbye, he even wanted Yan Fei to stay for it! But Yan Fei was so busy that he couldn’t even accompany his wife, let alone whether the foreigner was having a ’ladder climb’ or a swing.

Looking at his reaction, it seemed that the ’ladder climb’ must have been quite successful, otherwise, he wouldn’t be so excited.

Seeing Yan Fei urging him to weigh the beef, the foreigner looks at Yan Fei with a look full of regret: "Dear Xiao Fei, I think that at your age, you should not only know about making money, but also learn to enjoy life. You know, your peers are enjoying their unrestricted youth in the campus..."

"Once I have money, I naturally will enjoy life". Yan Fei cut off his endless chatter. If he let him continue, he’d have no time left to go sell the cattle hide. "Just weigh the beef now!"

"Alright!" The foreigner saw that he was indeed in a hurry, and with regret, he picked up the scale and started weighing. Whilst doing so, he still kept on talking: "I think there should be more to our relationship than mere transactions. At least we are friends now, aren’t we? Maybe you should ask me about how I advertised to others during the ’ladder climb’ about this amazing beef supplier who can also perform Kung Fu. Everyone was quite interested in you..."

Yan Fei helplessly responded: "Wouldn’t it be better if they were interested in my beef! What use is their interest in me? It’s not worth a dime!"

"That’s such a stark money-minded mentality!" Cried the foreigner. "It’s hard to believe you’re a young person who grew up here, don’t you guys value modesty? I think my country would suit you better. Maybe I could introduce you to a school in our country. You could attend school and manage a farm at the same time, because you have money, don’t you?"

Yan Fei responded blankly: "If I were to go to your country, you will not have such good beef anymore. Besides, if I were to go to your country, I may not even need to raise cattle..."

Once in the capitalist territory, one doesn’t need to abide by local laws. I could do whatever I want, maybe even rob the rich to help the poor, who would still want to raise cattle then?!

But this was merely a thought. How good is home! I have my own little industry that I worked hard for, and a sweet wife who brings happiness whenever I think of her. Unless one’s brain was haywire, who would then want to go to this foreigner’s turf!

"What a pity..." The multitasking foreigner kept weighing and recording, while still conversing with Yan Fei.

Eventually, Yan Fei simply ignored him until the foreigner himself said: "Okay, now we can talk about the price as business partners. I have a slight issue that might differ from your thought. The price of the beef cannot surge at the moment. For this time, the maximum I can provide is an additional two yuan per catty. Because I have to consider my friends here, as well as the average consumption level here..."

"An increase of two yuan is fine!" Yan Fei nodded. "Calculate the bill!"

"No, no, don’t rush." Seeing Yan Fei’s response, the foreigner thought that he might not come again next time. "I am saying that for now, I can only slowly increase our prices. You know, we cannot suddenly multiply the operating price. I am wondering, would you be willing to sign a legally binding supply contract with me? That way I can rest assured when I increase the prices."

"Can we discuss this next time I come? I really have an urgent matter today, and my wife is not here, and I don’t understand contracts". After thinking for a while, Yan Fei replied to the foreigner. "Think about it, it won’t be easy to find another buyer willing to pay this price. So you don’t have to worry, I will definitely come next week!"

"As a buyer, I am very pleased that you think so, and I even hope that you will always think so". The foreigner candidly responded. "But in fact, if we’re talking as friends, I would like to tell you: with the quality beef of yours, finding high-paying buyers will be much easier than you think. At least, if it were in that coastal metropolitan city, the price of your beef could easily double."

"Well, thank you for telling me that!" Yan Fei chuckled. "Hurry up and count the money! All the places you mentioned are far away, I don’t have the time to go there just to sell a bit of beef!"

Indeed, it’s pretty far. Currently, it only takes me half an hour to fly to Provincial City. To reach the metropolitan city you mentioned would take me at least two hours given my current metamorphosis of the counterfeit crow.

The key point is, if it’s so far away, and I just swoop in and then fly back, that would leave me with absolutely no excuse. Currently, the train from Wan City to the coastal metropolitan city takes at least one to two days. If someone wants to go there and back within a day, unless they’re flying—there would have to be suitable return flights available.

When Yan Fei got his money and was about to leave, the foreigner once again reminded him: "I think you should raise more cattle and always be ready. I’ve been in your country for quite some time now, and I can feel that things are changing here every moment. Maybe the time for your beef to reach the coastal metropolitan city, even being exported to other countries, is not as far off as you imagine!"

Yan Fei waves to him: "Here’s hoping as you say. I will work hard. No need to see me off, bye!"
