"If our beef reaches the Wagyu grade standard, then Japan won’t be able to continue setting conditions. They might even have to reduce the original terms. This newspaper probably has ties with Japan, it keeps expressing doubts."
"This article is just normal reporting, you can tell it’s written by a local. It’s full of praise and anticipation. It seems to have some connection with the Meat and Livestock Association, and it has gotten insider information, speaking quite confidently."
"Ah... This piece is... Yan Xiaofei, come take a look. A Japanese expert was interviewed, and he believes we’re just boasting, that it’s nothing more than a negotiation tactic, and he doesn’t believe it at all." Latest content published on N()velFire.net
Yan Fei laughed heartily: "It’s enough that you know whether it’s valid or not, never mind what they say."
Changing the subject, he turned to Lin Baoguo and said: "Uncle Baoguo, how about we go to the opera house next? It’s that place from the pictures you’ve been looking at all the time. Then we’ll head to the Great Barrier Reef area and stroll around the underwater world. Don’t come and say I didn’t treat you well, we’ll have a good time in the coming days."
"It’s just a place for singing, what’s so great to see?" Lin Baoguo was a bit displeased. "Casually stroll around is fine, check out the local customs and practices, so I can boast when I get home. Those places you mentioned all cost money, right?"
"Really, don’t save money for me." Yan Fei said with a smile. "I currently own a mine worth billions, treating you lavishly won’t make me bankrupt. Just be assured, the mine I’m planning to develop in a few years, this stuff is absolutely a safe investment. Worldwide, there are only a few mines, once a bit is extracted, there’s one less; the longer it’s left alone, the more valuable it becomes."
Xu Xiaoyan also urged: "Uncle Baoguo, just leave it to him. He earns yet doesn’t spend; we must help him spend a bit. Like buying these cars, they’ll be considered ranch investments in the future, which is tax deductible. Not spending this money still requires paying tax to others, why not spend it ourselves! Don’t you agree?"
Lin Baoguo felt that Yan Fei was too extravagant with spending, yet for others, Yan Fei wouldn’t be considered a miser, but the money he spends is minor. Others like him would have long lined up airplanes or yachts at their front doors, yet he hasn’t bought these things.
Why does the news nowadays talk about the internet bubble, isn’t it because those involved with the internet, once they got money, started buying these things, ending up with more expenses than income, resulting in a bubble, and queuing to jump off buildings.
But this doesn’t impact Yan Fei at all; he should actually be grateful for the economic crisis, otherwise, he wouldn’t bother to save money in Cayman; the amount in his account wasn’t enough to buy a mine.
Lin Baoguo felt a bit heartbroken; he was used to the economy back home. Now, people from Sancha River Township have become wealthy, yet not him. Spending a little more on food and drink requires relying on his wife for support; he’s almost become a man supported by his wife.
To him, no matter how much one can earn, life should be lived prudently; how could anyone spend like Yan Fei, buying a car just for travel, spending a few hundred for a meal—converted to Chinese currency, it’s several thousand; his annual salary isn’t enough for two meals.
Despite Yan Fei remaining silent, Xu Xiaoyan chuckled quietly, whispered something into his ear.
Lin Baoguo was nibbling on his claws at the time, instantly bit deeply: "What, tens of..."
He immediately paused halfway, and glanced around nervously, worried others might overhear.
Yan Fei gave his wife a thumbs-up, commending her for teaming up with him to ’tease’ Director Lin, the ’country bumpkin uncle’. He even raised his eyebrows at Lin Baoguo, filled with smugness—Xu Xiaoyan said that the bauxite mine Yan Fei mentioned was worth several billion in foreign currency, converting it to Chinese currency, that amounts to tens of billions.
Lin Baoguo was shocked at that moment, his eyes lost focus, trying to imagine for a long time how much tens of billions really is. Yet after contemplating for ages, the corner of his mouth where he was bitten was bleeding, he still couldn’t fathom it.
He really couldn’t imagine it, he couldn’t even conceive the interest, hadn’t dreamed of having such a sum in his life.
Now he was completely silent, he knew his opportunistic nephew very well, the more he talks about saving money, the more that guy boasts. If he continued to insist, who knows what else he might say.
The heart can’t take it!
