"I know, you’re worried because you lack many of the conditions for rapid development, but progress is never achieved by isolation. If people see potential in you, you have to learn to accept their kindness and help in due time..." the foreigner said.
"It’s ’reinventing the wheel’ not ’building a ship in solitude’..." Yan Fei corrected him in time.
The foreigner couldn’t help laugh, "Can we move past these details? I think what you should do now is agree with me so I can make a call and check if those initial guests from Hong Kong are still here. After all, a week has passed, I’m not sure if they have been patient enough to wait until now... "
"But you know my situation. I have no beef, and even if I did, I couldn’t deliver it. You’ve spent enough time in our country to understand the transportation situation. I managed to deliver beef to you, and that was already my limit. Any further... " Yan Fei was not entirely confident.
The world is changing too fast, it’s overwhelming!
Just thinking about the visit from the patriotic businessmen, which seemed to have nothing to do with him, now they are suddenly interested in his beef! But the timing is a bit off!
As the saying goes, with grain in the house, one can be at ease. With money on hand, one can do anything. This is not just random talk. Right now the opportunity is indeed rare, but there’s no stock at hand!
Not only is there no stock, but there’s also not enough money to prepare for more cows. As for the space, that’s not a concern. There are several mu of land at the cattle farm, enough to raise hundreds of cows. But... I’m so broke!
In fact, many people encounter such situations after running a business for a period. At certain stages, the so-called business can no longer develop step by step according to personal will. More often, people are forced by circumstances to forge ahead with head down.
The saying ’advance or retreat’ embodies this principle. The evolution of things often does not turn with personal will. How could there be an opportunity waiting for you if everything is ready?
Yan Fei wished this kind of opportunity will come again at the same time next year. But will that be possible? Who knows what it will be like next year? Premium beef will never have trouble being sold, but the right customers won’t wait for you forever.
The foreigner, after all, came across the ocean to China. And in his homeland, he is a top-notch chef. He is worldly-wise.
Seeing Yan Fei’s struggle, he promptly said, "This is at least a great opportunity. It’s like when you first started to raise cows. Who would believe a young person like you could produce such quality beef? Even in our country, the geniuses starting their businesses rarely get help from others. They usually start on their own. Quite a few people have succeeded just like you, haven’t they?"
Yan Fei nodded. When he first mentioned raising cows, he didn’t even dare to ask his uncle for help. He asked Ma Yongming and Pang Fa to help him secure the land. In reality, they didn’t believe he would succeed either. They just had an adventurous spirit, figuring that at worst they’d lose money and earn it back. Just a year ago, he himself didn’t expect to own so many cows now. Who would dare to dream big back then? Just making enough money to spend was already fine!
"So, can I make the phone call now?" the foreigner chuckled. "You see, I can’t stand top-notch beef like yours not receiving its deserved price and respect. I believe there are many people in the world who think like me. As long as you can constantly supply prime beef, no one will care about your age or status, right?"
"Alright, dear Xiao Fei, I’m going to make the phone call now. You just need to wait. Maybe the surprise is just around the corner!"
This guy patted Yan Fei on the shoulder, as if he had transformed into a warrior, laughing loudly as he moved, "Even if we are not friends, I have to let more people know that in this country, with rich history, there is top-quality beef that the world doesn’t even know about..."
