Chapter 664 - 314: Admitting the Mistake Has Come_1
Chapter 664: Chapter 314: Admitting the Mistake Has Come_1When the two of them got home and discussed the Hong Kong matter with Yanfei’s father, he slapped his thigh after some thought, "This could work. An income of over a million a month, that’s over ten million in a year. In our county, there are not many businesses that can earn over ten million a year. Who needs foreign investment? With this contract, no matter who brings it up, they won’t have any say in the matter! But doesn’t this involve confidentiality?"
"That doesn’t matter!" Yan Fei didn’t care at all. "It was not compulsory to keep it confidential. They were just worried that I might sell beef to their competitors. I always thought that displaying this contract might attract unnecessary attention. But now, it’s useful, and I’m not afraid of people knowing. Besides, sooner or later they will start taking the beef, it won’t stay a secret for long."
"It’s still better to keep it discreet. How about this, you can go and give Secretary Jiao a heads up, just let him know. As for the village side, apart from Mayor Chen, the others don’t need to know, delay as long as possible," said Yanfei’s father in deep thought. "Don’t mention the foreign investment to Secretary Jiao yet as the news from the city is still uncertain, we overheard it. For now just give Secretary Jiao a heads up so he can prepare. So that when it comes, he is not caught off guard..."
If a company could have an income of over ten million dollars a year and not be lacking in funds, any investment of a few million dollars, even if it’s foreign, wouldn’t be very appealing.
Secretary Jiao would surely be pleasantly surprised when he heard this news. With this surprise, when the foreign investment comes, he probably wouldn’t be too surprised. Of course, the meaning of foreign investment is not just about the amount, there are many other related aspects, but these were not Yan Fei’s immediate concern.
With this contract, the cattle ranch now had an excuse. When the time came, Yan Fei could refuse foreign investment, even if there’s pressure from the city, the county would have his backing: there are so many businesses that can’t pay wages, why invest in the one that doesn’t need money?
The key is that now is the best time to bring it up, as it coincides with the crucial moment of universal celebration before the handover of Hong Kong, and Yan Fei’s cattle ranch will start supplying beef around the time of the handover.
Even if the county wanted foreign investment, Yan Fei could use the possible impact on beef supply as an excuse. Then, even if the county is reluctant, they would have to support him.
Although this is a little tricky, the reason is strong enough, who will be held responsible if the beef can’t be supplied?
Just as Hong Kong was being returned, how can a company from the Mainland violate an existing contract after collecting payment? Who would dare to shoulder that responsibility? Even the most obtuse person should consider the consequences of such a disgrace to the nation at a critical moment!
Yan Fei discussed a few details with his father, then headed straight to the county government with Xu Xiaoyan.
At the entrance, when the doorman heard that they were there to see the county party secretary, he wanted to check their identification.
The two of them came just to have a casual talk, they didn’t carry any identification cards with them!
Yan Fei’s omnipotent broken bag, could produce things like a household registration book, disability certificate, etc. But the problem was that before they left, Xu Xiaoyan asked him if he had brought the contract, he opened his bag and showed her, there was only one contract inside. Now if he took out something else, wouldn’t that blow his cover?
Seeing that the two didn’t even have any identification, the doorman became irked: "You should at least bring something! Aren’t you making my job difficult? You guys wait a minute, let me call inside and check? It’s almost time to clock off, really..."
As soon as he made the call and mentioned Yan Fei’s name, there was a quick response from inside. In no time, a young man came out, visibly enthusiastic upon seeing Yan Fei from afar: "Boss Yan, you’ve come! Secretary Jiao happens to be in today, let’s go!"
After that, he immediately said to the doorman: "I’ll take them in, Secretary Jiao is waiting in his office, they can register when they come back out!"
Having the secretary of the county party secretary speaking, the doorman had no objections. He even feared that his attitude earlier might have offended them and with a smile said: "No rush, no rush, you two told me your names. I’ll record them!"
As soon as they entered the office, before Secretary Jiao could ask anything, Yan Fei began to feign regret, as per his father’s instructions: "Secretary Jiao, I am here to confess my mistake!"
Secretary Jiao was taken aback: "What happened? I heard that people from the cattle re
After flipping through the handwritten contract for a long time, Secretary Jiao finally put it down and turned to Yan Fei, "Yan Fei! I must say, you kept this a secret and just sprang a surprise on me! It’s a good thing I’m in good health. If I had a heart condition or something, I’d need to be rushed to the hospital because of you!"
It seems this contract truly delighted Secretary Jiao, and he even started joking with Yan Fei.
Yan Fei humbly admitted his mistake: "We didn’t have any experience before. They said it would be best to keep it a secret, so I didn’t tell anyone. I originally came to deliver some food to my dad today, and I told him about it. He said our village and county have always been supportive of the cattle farm, especially you have always been supportive of me. How could I not let you know? He insisted I come here..."
"Enough, enough, don’t be too polite." Secretary Jiao interrupted his pretentious courtesy. "First, tell me the details behind this contract, let me enjoy the moment..."
Glancing at the time, he then said, "Let’s do this! Don’t talk here anymore. I’ll treat you to dinner today. You can tell me more over dinner..."
