Chapter 681: Chapter 329: 300% Profit _1

"Boss Yan, there’s a call for you, hurry up, it’s from the county!" Heizi’s wife ran over, calling out to Yan Fei, who was watching the flooring being laid.

Yan Fei ran into the house, picked up the phone, listened for a moment, and said enthusiastically, "Hello, Secretary Jiao! You’re bringing investment representatives? How many? How much are they investing? They want a tour first, okay, when will they arrive? Tomorrow, all right, I’ll get ready. Don’t worry, I won’t get full of myself. I’ll definitely be prepared and make sure we don’t disgrace our county..."

After hanging up, he walked outside, looked up at the blue sky and white clouds, and chuckled. "Thank goodness someone tipped me off in advance, otherwise I would have been caught off guard!"

Before his laughter even faded, a person stepped out of the neighboring room and jested, "Oh, what’s Boss Yan up to now? Making trouble for someone else? Such a creepy laugh!"

Not many people dare to talk to Yan Fei like that, but some do.

Yan Fei’s cold laughter instantly turned warm, he turned around and said, "Auntie, look at what you’re saying! Your professional knowledge from the guidance station is useless here. But isn’t it nice to have so many people to keep you company?"

There weren’t many tasks Yan Fei wanted to accomplish but couldn’t.

This rascal, thick-skinned and opportunistic, managed to convince Xiang Rui to join the cattle-rearing unit after endless attempts. But he kept stirring trouble between the two old ladies, making Xiang Rui furious. For several days, she didn’t give him a single friendly look.

But Yan Fei didn’t care, as long as she was here, that was enough. After all, they were relatives, and she wouldn’t slack off in her work. Was receiving a few words of criticism a big deal? His bulletproof face didn’t care.

Xiang Rui saw his unrepentant look and wanted to say something more, but Xu Xiaoyan and another girl came out of the house, and she swallowed her words.

The girl next to Xu Xiaoyan was called Shao Pingping, Ma Chao’s intended daughter-in-law.

For Yan Fei, this girl was a surprise, a high school graduate no less.

But thinking about it, it wasn’t so surprising. Ma Chao himself might be illiterate, but his family had been in the liquor business for a long time, and they were pretty well off in town. Naturally, they wouldn’t settle for a substandard daughter-in-law. She not only had an education but was also rather pleasing to the eye.

Speaking of the girls in the farm, including Xiang Rui who was already a mom, all of them were easy on the eyes.

That mute’s sister, Heizi’s wife, caught Heizi’s eye at first glance. He wooed her persistently, even forgetting about his original goal — marrying a woman like the one from Boss Ma’s family.

This goes to show, this girl must have been pretty good-looking. Not only was she beautiful, but she was also capable. You couldn’t tell at all that she was the product of an inbred marriage. A splendid white cabbage like her, totally wasted on a pig like Heizi.

With the addition of these girls, things in the cattle farm changed quite a bit. The men were fine workers, but apart from work, they were somewhat lacking. They were a rough lot, and they certainly wouldn’t pay attention to sanitation. But ever since the women came, the place had cleaned up nicely in a few days. The farm was much more pleasant to look at.

Yan Fei was now walking in the now clean cattle farm, feeling very pleased.

Xu Xiaoyan had mentioned cleaning up before, but if he himself wasn’t bothered, he couldn’t expect others to bother either. Initially, the farm was short on women, but with Xiang Rui’s arrival, the girls had a dependable person to look up to. She confidently directed others to clean up - those men who hadn’t found wives yet, were promised a chance to meet some unmarried girls if they behaved well. That drove the guys to enthusiastically take on any task they were given.

Now the farm had more and more cattle, but everyone still tended to gather in the inner courtyard. Yan Fei walked over to inform them that the less than welcome investment representative would arrive tomorrow.

He had received news about this yesterday, so he went to the village and gave Mayor Chen a heads up. He didn’t outright refuse the representative, but complained a lot about how he was about to become rich. The arrival of an investor, who would probably nitpick and interfere with everything, was really a hindrance.

Mayor Chen quickly saw Yan Fei’s stance and gave him some advice. Generally, people would be thrilled at the idea of outside investments. Even if Yan Fei didn’t want it, he should at least wait for the representative to come and look around. If he refused outright, where would the superiors place their faces?

Yan Fei had valid reasons. The cattle farm was currently preparing to supply high-quality beef to two customers in Hong Kong and the provincial city. Once established, it could proceed with its steady development. If another investment came along, what would he do with the extra money? Continue purchasing cattle? That would be foolish without guaranteed sales routes.

Cattle weren’t like other goods you could keep in a warehouse if you couldn’t sell them. Cattle are live animals that need daily feeding and watering. If by any chance there was a surplus of adult cattle that couldn’t be sold, that would mean additional daily costs for feed and labor.

Only Yan Fei knew the true state of his own farm. According to the current rate of progress, as long as the farm could supply the high-quality beef to Hong Kong and the provincial cities, it would take in almost 2 million in revenue per month. This calculation was based on the lowest yield of beef.

On top of that were ordinary cuts of beef, along with bones, organs, skins, heads, etc. These brought in an additional four to five hundred thousand a month.

Compared to the expenses of the purchases, the costs of running a cattle farm were nothing. To put it simply, if Yan Fei saved his entire monthly income as a fixed deposit in the bank at the current interest rate of over 5%, the annual interest would cover the salaries, bonuses, benefits of the entire cattle farm. Plus, it would be enough to hire a bunch of people to clean up the cow dung and do odd jobs every day.

As Marx said, if capital yields a profit of 50%, it will risk everything, if 100%, it will dare to break all human laws, and if 300%, it would dare to commit any crime, even risking the gallows.

Yan Fei didn’t need to commit any crime or risk the gallows, his cattle farm was already yielding a profit of 300%.

Outsiders may not understand this, but Yan Fei knew it very well.

With such a foundation, Yan Fei didn’t need investments. Even if there was a sincere investment offer, he wouldn’t need it. What he needs now is steady progress, finding more sales channels, expanding cooperative cattle-rearing on the premise that his beef can be sold, not casting everyone into cattle-rearing, and if it doesn’t sell, should he raise them for fun?

Mayor Chen was aware of the situation, but after all, it was foreign investment and he was somewhat tempted. If the deal could go through, it would be a big deal for Sancha River, and the benefits would be obvious to everyone.

So, when Yan Fei complained, he still advised Yan Fei to at least wait for the representative to arrive and discuss the terms.

Yan Fei didn’t mind. He was just injecting a dose of early opposition, just to clarify his stance. This way he could avoid appearing uncooperative when the investment representative arrived, leaving the rural authorities unprepared.
