Chapter 709: Chapter 351: Station Launch, Buying Land_2

He came up with this idea after seeing three-wheel vehicles at the county and city bus stations.

However, Heizi looked down on this business: "Brother Fei, for this job, it should be done by a non-smoker..."

Li Fang wondered, "Why does this job have to be done by a non-smoker?"

Heizi grumbled, "There are only a few buses a day, and sometimes they’re not even full, and not everyone wants to ride a three-wheeler. You sit there smoking and waiting for passengers, the money you make might not even cover the cost of cigarettes."

Upon understanding, they all broke out in laughter. Waiting for passengers would indeed get boring; if one smokes, he’d definitely smoke quite a few more cigarettes. The earnings might not even cover the cost of cigarettes, let alone the fuel, which made quite a hilarious realization.

Xiang Rui, who didn’t go home for lunch spoke up: "You’re supposedly the one leading us to prosperity; if even you don’t have confidence, how can the others keep their hopes up? If you instruct every family in the village to start raising cattle, do you think that will work?"

Yan Fei’s little cousin at Lin Baoguo’s house has grown up and is almost ready to be weaned off breastfeeding because Xiang Rui is afraid that if she goes home at noon, the child will make a fuss seeing her. Hence, she has been having lunch here for several days.

Yan Fei immediately stopped laughing, pondered for a while, and said, "Well, what if our town does prosper later on? Let’s do this, Heizi, you buy all the land on this side, all the way to the grove over there. The land inside the grove is too low-lying, we don’t need that. Now we can use it for cattle breeding, and if our town develops, we can build houses on it. As for you guys, don’t worry too much, there will be plenty of opportunities when development comes, I can’t have you labor for years without owning your own house."

Heizi, always craving more, asked, "What about buying some land next to the bus station on the other side?"

Yan Fei laughed, "When eating meat, you gotta leave some soup for others, right? The two buildings next to the station are about to collapse if left uninhabited, people have built it for years, they should at least reap some benefits! Moreover, I don’t see any hope in the next few years, if we buy it, we can use it, but only idiots would go and buy it!"

While they were talking, Lin Yumei, who was eating upfront, brought over a young man and exclaimed, "Xiao Fei, this young man says he has something to discuss with you!"

Yan Fei, not recognizing him, saw Old Ou greet the young man, "Junzi, why are you here? Have you eaten? Come and join us!"

The young man named Junzi embarrassedly smirked and said, "Brother Ou, I’ve just eaten, I came looking for Boss Yan to report something. Brother Zhou sent me over."

In the town, there weren’t many surnamed Zhou, and seeing that this guy was just a small-time thug, the only person he would refer to as Brother Zhou would be Zhou Dalian.

Upon hearing him use the term ’report,’ Yan Fei stood up and walked out, asking, "This is Junzi, right? What affair did Brother Zhou send you over for?"

Gaining some courage, Junzi called out Brother Fei, then proceeded, "A few of us were eating just now, and we heard someone continuously asking the restaurant owner about you. They asked about the good profits from your cattle farm and how nicely your cattle have been raised. They were wondering if you had some secret formula? He claimed to be a cattle trader, but Brother Zhou didn’t think he looked like one. The man rode a motorcycle and was not from our town. Brother Zhou asked me to inform you in case he had malicious intentions."

It figured that Zhou Dalian would be the one with such insight. Most of these small-time thugs wouldn’t think this far!

Upon hearing this, Yan Fei pondered for a moment, then while reaching into his pocket said, "Thanks for going through the trouble. On your way back, tell Brother Zhou that I’m grateful for his help. Since you’re here, guide the way for Old Gao to call the man over for questioning!"

Turning, he yelled into the house, "Heizi, Old Gao, have you finished eating? Brother Junzi said there’s a man at the restaurant doing some detective work on us. Ride a motorcycle there, bring him over to clarify! You better be quick, before he leaves."

The meaning of ’bring’ was quite clear as long as everyone understood.

Junzi heard Yan Fei mention being afraid of the man getting away, he shyly laughed, "Don’t worry, Brother Fei, he’s not going anywhere fast. When I was coming over, I was afraid that he might get away, so I deflated both tires of his motorcycle!"

Listening to this, Yan Fei was lost for words. What kind of people was he dealing with?

However, they were just looking out for themselves. This situation deserved encouragement. He pulled out a wad of cash and gave them five bills, with a cheerful smile on his face. "I can’t let you go empty-handed on this trip. Spreading the news is worth three hundred, and deflating the two tires is worth two hundred. Take it, don’t refuse it. If you do, it would mean you’re looking down on me."

Old Ou and a few others in the room heard of this and were also fired up: "Brother Fei, should we go along too? If they don’t show up, it would be better for us to have more people to ’invite’ them!"

Yan Fei thought for a moment and asked Junzi, "Where did you guys eat?"

Junzi hurriedly responded, "Just at the beef noodle place downstairs in Brother Zhou’s building, it’s on the west side and we don’t have to pass by the police station."

Yan Fei was even more speechless, thinking to himself: you fucking kidding me.

True enough, smart people were everywhere.

As soon as they heard him ask about the place and saw everyone prepared to go, they’d immediately figured out that he wanted to avoid the police station. The tough guys these days didn’t have an easy role either, those with keen eyes couldn’t even be a good tough guy. Even though he himself wasn’t afraid of the police station, if he went to ’invite’ someone from the entrance of the police station, wouldn’t that disrespect his uncle, the police chief?

While he was thinking, he had already said: "That’s perfect, you all should go! Remember, if anyone asks, say it was him who was first looking into our matters. Let’s not be unreasonable!"

"Don’t worry, Brother Fei!" A group of people said in unison.

Xiang Rui was upset, "I’m here sitting here watching! You’re talking about ’inviting’ people in front of me. Do you have any regard for me?"

Junzi, who was used to fooling around with Zhou Dalian, was probably on the second floor opposite the police station, so he likely knew who the Xiang Rui was. Hearing her talk, he turned his head around, retreated a bit, and even used Yan Fei’s body to shield himself, as if he was afraid of her seeing him.

Yan Fei defended himself confidently, "Auntie, you heard it too. This wasn’t me looking for trouble, they’re the ones coming to us. You just said I’m a local leader in getting rich, if I ignore this situation, it would mean I have no regard for the folks in our village!"

Taking advantage of Yan Fei bantering with Xiang Rui, Old Ou and the others quickly fled, pulling Junzi - who still held the money and didn’t know whether to return it or keep it - along with them.

Even the mute, who didn’t understand anything, saw people running out excitedly and put down his chopsticks to follow them.

Yan Fei called out from behind, "How about we invite them over to the greenhouse? I’ll be there waiting. I have to save some face for my aunt!"

Xiang Rui was fuming, "You just do whatever you want! Just don’t get yourself into trouble."

Only Xiang Rui talked, Xu Xiaoyan and The Sixth Miss Guo had gone to the nearby county to play, and the rest of them, men, women, old, and young, all stayed silent. Including Fang Xiaoqing and Gong Hanqing, who had just come back home from school, they all didn’t think there was anything wrong with what Yan Fei was doing.

After a while, Yan Fei saw they had walked a good distance away and started explaining: "What I said earlier was true, the cattle farms now, even on a small scale, feed everyone in this room. On a larger scale, just like I said earlier, they also help guide everyone to wealth. Can I really ignore this? And even if I take them to the police station, my uncle can’t be in charge of this, right? They came to ask for information, they haven’t done anything wrong. Isn’t that right, Auntie?"

After saying this, he smiled and said, "Don’t worry, Auntie, I won’t act recklessly. This guy is so dumb, just asking about stuff aimlessly in town, I’m guessing he’s just a reckless youth. If we scare him, ask him who’s trying to harm me, so I know what’s going on - it’s something everyone knows, could I really go on to commit murder?"

Xiang Rui waved her hand, "Alright, alright, stop with the explanations, I don’t know or understand anything. Just be careful and don’t make it into a big deal."

"Don’t worry, Auntie, I’ll be careful!" Yan Fei replied with a smile, and then he also left.
