Chapter 1127 - 577: Don’t Want It Even If Given Money_2

Chapter 1127: Chapter 577: Don’t Want It Even If Given Money_2Township Chief Tan just wanted to attract some investment and promote these two planting techniques locally, while also establishing a processing plant to purchase and simply process the farmers’ produce, increasing market competitiveness.

That route is certainly viable, the problem is there are too many places looking for investment nowadays. Besides, his Xiliu Township is situated in a remote mountain area—who would want to invest there? After much

The two professors knew he was partly joking. Who didn’t know about his silly ways back then? They just chuckled and kept silent.

However, if people like Lin Baoguo and Ma Yongming who knew him well heard this, they’d be rolling on the floor laughing—at that time he wasn’t even thinking about anything as upscale as investment, he didn’t even understand Fattened Cow! He was simply a clueless young man who dreamed of making a fortune from breeding bulls and made just for fun.

Besides, even if he had known what he was doing back then, who with half a brain, kicked by a dinosaur, would have invested in a primary school graduate with just a third-grade education?

After Yan Fei finished speaking, he suddenly remembered something else. "Speaking of which, apart from mushrooms and fungus, they have another thing there, Mountain Fruit. If they made it into sugar calabash or processed it into something else, couldn’t it also make money? I once gave an idea to a classmate of Xiao Xing’s, suggesting that people from her village sell peanut brittle in the Provincial City. Now they’ve even started building a reservoir there..."

Mountain Fruit refers to hawthorn, mountain red.

Yan, who had often soared high, had seen the situation in their mountains firsthand. When the Mountain Fruit was ripe, the hills were filled with hawthorn trees, each bearing its load of bright red fruit—a truly beautiful sight.

Unfortunately, this thing just wasn’t worth much, no one was buying. Some people picked it at will, brought it back home just to give everyone a taste of the novelty.

Professor Qi was quite kind-hearted. "Why don’t you give that township chief a call, give him a heads-up. It might be a viable opportunity, who knows, he might succeed if he tries?"

Yan Fei, who usually couldn’t be bothered with such matters, made a call anyway, since Professor Qi had mentioned it.

The result wasn’t very promising, and from the expression he had after hanging up the phone, the two professors could tell that the township chief on the other end was unimpressed by the suggestion.

However, the three of them were just discussing it; whether the other party accepted the idea or not, it didn’t really affect them.

No sooner had Yan Fei put down the phone that it rang again.

This time it was someone he knew. He picked up the phone with a smile, "What’s up, Boss Guo? Are you planning to come and hang out with Yanfei?"

"I don’t have time for that. I’m telling you, I’ve decided to open a new restaurant, right there in Wuyang City. I’ve already sent people to look for a location again, you better start getting ready to rear cattle!" Guo Jingya sounded particularly solemn when talking about her little enterprise.

"All right, that can be easily arranged. I’ll get it started right away," Yan Fei replied promptly. "Anything else?"

There had to be more; if it was just this piece of business, given their current relationship, Guo Jingya would most likely have first called Xu Xiaoyan and let Xu Xiaoyan pass the message to him.

"That...," Guo Jingya hesitated. "I wanted to tell you something. You’re heavily investing in construction, right? Are you short on cash? My uncle says he’s very optimistic about your cattle business and is ready to invest some money in it. What do you think?"

"Not interested!" Just after someone came looking for investment, now there was someone willing to invest in his venture? However, Yan Fei’s rejection was swift. "I’m not short on money, why would I need an investment? Please thank your uncle for his kindness on my behalf."

"It’s not that..." Guo Jingya became anxious upon his blunt refusal. "It’s called an investment, but you can decide on the shares, even just a nominal one would do. How about an investment of a hundred million for a one percent share; would that work for you?"

Yan Fei was puzzled. "A hundred million for one percent? Does your family have so much money that you have no place to spend it? From every angle, my cattle farm couldn’t be worth a hundred billion... No, wait, what’s really going on? Just tell me."
