Chapter 882: Chapter 490: Lure Trouble Away - If You Won’t Leave, Stay_3

"Brother Fei, you’re finally back!" The moment Heizi spoke, it was clear from his relieved expression that the bit of trouble he had encountered these past few days had put quite some pressure on him.

"What exactly happened?" Yan Fei asked. "Tell me more about it."

"The first time those people came, they arrived saying they wanted to buy beef and were looking for someone in charge at the farm. I thought they just wanted regular beef, so I said I could make the decision. But then they said they wanted the beef we supply to Hong Kong, so I told them the price of our Hong Kong beef. After that, their words became unpleasant." The clarity of the situation wasn’t conveyed over the phone, but now Heizi began to explain in detail.

"The leader didn’t say much, but his two lackeys mentioned that their family had connections with provincial leaders. They even brought people from our city. Those from the city spoke decently, but they said that since we’re all from the same province, our price was too outrageous, suggesting we supply it for just a bit more than the price of regular beef. Meanwhile, those two lackeys kept threatening us on the side, telling us to consider our position carefully."

"Later on, I told them I wasn’t in charge, so they said they were going out for fun and would talk when you returned. They came back yesterday afternoon, saying they were in a hurry to leave and urged me to call you back ASAP."

The situation was quite straightforward: someone who likely thought he had connections was trying to bully us into a forced sale. While it wasn’t said outright, the implication was clear.

That nonsense about offering a discount because we’re from the same province is pure baloney. Discounts don’t work that way. There’s a price for the high-end beef we supply to Provincial City, but they wanted to set their own price – might as well just say it’s daylight robbery!

After Heizi rambled on and finished, Yan Fei just smiled and said, "Okay, you go back first! When they come, page me and I’ll come over."

"What are you going to do? Every time they’ve come, they’ve driven over in cars, seeming like they really have connections. Don’t be too confrontational. If you offend them, they might give us more trouble." Heizi was still somewhat worried.

"Don’t worry about it, just go back! You leave this matter to me!" Yan Fei said as he went towards the restless animals that were making a racket upon his return.

After Heizi left, Yan Fei took out some dinosaur meat for the animals and began checking each greenhouse one by one.

After touring the twenty greenhouses, his pager went off.

He looked at it, hopped on his motorcycle, and headed straight for the Breeding Bull farm.

Two cars were parked on the roadside by the entrance, one with a Provincial City license plate and the other from the city.

Seeing Yan Fei arriving, Heizi jogged up to take the motorcycle to park it, but Yan Fei just stopped it at the entrance: "Where are they?"

Heizi, failing to show his eager hospitality, quickly replied, "They’re in the meeting room. They didn’t want anyone serving them; I tried to offer them tea earlier and they refused. Now it’s just them in there."

True to their unpleasant nature, they had even chased out anyone offering tea in someone else’s place – such arrogance!

Yan Fei reached what barely passed as a meeting room and reception area, and upon entering, he saw several people sitting inside. There were five young men and three middle-aged men.

As Yan Fei entered, they looked up. One of the Oil-headed Powder-faced men said, "Who are you? Can’t you see we’re waiting for your boss here? Don’t disturb us with nothing important, and hurry up and get your boss to come over!"

"I am the boss. What kind of beef are you looking at purchasing, and at what price?" Yan Fei asked, standing at the doorway without any intention to exchange pleasantries or handshake.

"You’re the boss?" Another Oil-headed Powder-faced man asked back, then burst into laughter. "Brother, are you saying your farm doesn’t want to do business anymore? If you don’t want to talk, just say so. We’ve been here three times already!"

"Three times!" The young man emphasized, holding up three fingers. "So, your boss just sends someone to fob us off like that? He’s too scared to show his face? Or what, he’s afraid to meet people?"

"I am Yan Fei, I am the boss. Didn’t the people from the city come with you? Didn’t you inquire before coming?" Yan Fei didn’t even glance at the young man speaking, instead, he addressed the young man who seemed to be the leader sitting in the middle.

His guess was on point; the young man the gaze fell on looked at a middle-aged man, who immediately stood up and walked over with an outstretched hand: "So, you’re Boss Yan, right? I heard Boss Yan was young, but I didn’t expect you to be this young. Nice to meet you."

"Let’s skip the pleasantries and get down to business! You want to buy beef, right? How much are you looking to purchase, and what’s your offer?" Yan Fei shook hands briefly with the man, then walked inside and casually pulled up a chair to sit down.

The initially speaking Oil-headed Powder-faced man couldn’t hide his displeasure and said sarcastically, "Heh, so you’re a straightforward person, eh? Then we won’t beat around the bush either. We want the beef you supply to Hong Kong; we’re willing to pay double the regular beef price. We’re not asking for a lot—just supply a few hundred catty to start with, and later on..."

"That price won’t work," Yan Fei shook his head, interrupting the man mid-sentence. "If you’re interested in buying, you’ll pay the same price we supply to Hong Kong. If not, we can forget about it. With this kind of negotiation, you’re not here to do business."
