Chapter 943: Chapter 513: Outstanding Entrepreneur Yan Fei

The most famous place to have fun in the city is the Ancient Culture Museum, which originally charged an admission fee.

However, these days, admissions for locals are practically non-existent; they only really apply to tourists. The Ancient Culture Museum covers a large area, and locals know they can just climb over a low section of the wall to get in. Plus, even if they don’t climb over, it’s not as if they can’t see the exhibits; the city often runs events where attractions are free for a few days. Locals just need to time their visits with these events.

But now, Yan Fei and his three companions didn’t have to worry about such things. Attending a symposium meant they couldn’t expect attendees to return empty-handed; handing out attraction tickets was a minor kindness that someone from the city administration would arrange.

Of course, the main reason is that attraction tickets are quite cheap these days; the revenue is so negligible that it’s common for attractions to give out free tickets during events, which has led locals to increasingly undervalue these nearby sights.

After parking the car at the entrance, Yan Fei made a phone call, urging Pang Fa to hurry up with the beef jerky production.

It’s not to say these were just potential orders; they had already confirmed orders worth over a hundred thousand. It seems, by the end of the year, beef jerky sales might just explode a little.

The advantage doesn’t stop there; once this batch of beef jerky is sent out, countless families will learn about their product, which also serves as promotion.

After hanging up, he thought for a moment and specifically told Heizi, "Remind me in a few days, next time I go to Provincial City, to buy more books for the ranch, so everyone can read more."

He needed to educate Heizi and the others, particularly Heizi himself. If he could improve his already formidable flattery skills, he would certainly be of great use in the future. It would be even better if the guy could learn a foreign language, just in case there was a need to sweet-talk some foreigners in the future.

Well, that was a bit far-fetched, but focusing on the present, with his gift of the gab, coupled with his own "drinking capacity," the next time they faced such a situation, teaming up would make them unbeatable!

The symposium on the first day reaped a bountiful harvest—a good omen indeed. He was so pleased with the phone call he made at the entrance that he didn’t even mind paying a few dimes more than usual.

Old Niu was incredibly envious. His cement business wasn’t like beef jerky, which could easily hand out benefits like procurement. Dealing with cement involves construction projects with complex, intertwined interests. Even if someone was in need, aside from the top bosses, it would be difficult for others to decisively order procurement like this.

The history of Wan City’s Ancient Culture Museum is long-standing, having been under reconstruction for the past nine years and still ongoing. However, it didn’t affect the visitation.

Most of the exhibits here are stone carvings with significant cultural value, but for people like Yan Fei, Boss Niu, and Heizi, there wasn’t much attraction.

Still, the group was mainly there to kill time and enjoy the hustle and bustle, so it didn’t really matter what they saw. It’s just a pity for the stone carvings, which had a history of a thousand years; to these men, they might as well be looking at children’s scribbles.

Boss Niu himself had limited education, but his son, who graduated from a technical secondary school, worked at the Forestry Bureau. Of course, work is work, but it was only natural for Boss Niu to take his son to "see the world" at such a symposium.

When Yan Fei heard that Niu Ben worked at the Forestry Bureau, he immediately perked up, "What’s Old Wang in charge of these days? You know, the one whose daughter married into our Sancha River area."

Niu Ben was taken aback, admiring Yan’s extensive network, "You must be talking about our current boss? He’s in charge of practically everything."

Heizi snorted, "He still owes our Brother Fei quite a bit of money! Who knows if there’s any hope of getting it back in this lifetime... No, that’s not it; it’s your Forestry Bureau that owes us money, and when you add it up, it’s not a small amount!"

Curious, Niu Ben eagerly asked what was happening. Being new to the job, he wasn’t aware of the follow-up to the apprehension of poachers or the issue of a few problematic tigers and black bears the Forestry Bureau had asked Yan Fei to "watch for a few days."

As these two chatted leisurely, Old Niu and Yan Fei had little serious business to discuss, mainly just chat about matters concerning Tanghe County.

The casual conversation led to a change of plans. Instead of returning in the evening as initially intended, Old Niu called up a few close contacts to join them in a feast—Yan Fei had planned to leave, but Old Niu mentioned inviting people from Tanghe County’s Fertilizer Factory, making it impossible for Yan Fei to leave.

Yan Fei’s parents both worked at the fertilizer factory; his parents could not just shrug off obligations to assist their son, and they felt that, while Yan was doing well on his own, unpredictable storms could arise in the unstable world of business. Many big-name companies in those days went under unexpectedly.

So, they kept their "iron rice bowls," knowing that in case their son’s business encountered problems, they would at least have a steady job to fall back on and wouldn’t let the family go hungry.

No one can predict the future, and in a relatively backward place like Wan City, many still cling to the old belief that private enterprises are unreliable. Especially since there had been unsettling news about private businesses in previous years, many people’s views have persisted to this day.

Since his parents were willing to work and felt more secure with their jobs, Yan Fei had no intention of trying to change their minds. However, now that he had the chance to join the leaders from the fertilizer factory for a meal and mention his parents to improve their work environment, he felt it was his duty as a son.
