1207: Chapter 603: Once in a Thousand Years_3 1207: Chapter 603: Once in a Thousand Years_3 Zhang Kun was now even more energized, “I’ll co over right now, and after I arrive, can I interview you?
Don’t worry, the two hundred yuan for the information fee won’t be a penny short.”
In those days, the status of journalists was still quite high, with a moniker such as ‘king without a crown’, which sounded very glamorous.
But that was for the general public.
In truth, every profession is the sa, the hardships are known only to those within it.
Transportation and information flow were not convenient, and gathering news often ant running one’s legs off.
After all, it wasn’t yet the era where everyone had a mobile phone and could break news at any mont.
Nor was sensationalist titling popular, stirring up shock or ‘silent tears of n and won’ and other such ssy headlines.
Of course, at that ti, there wasn’t a practice of paying for tip-offs.
However, when Zhang Kun himself used to go out on assignnts, he would often promise to take soone out for a al in return for a heads-up on any news…
Although two hundred yuan seed a bit expensive, it all depended on the person.
It might not work for others, but if the informant was Boss Yan’s cousin, the price was quite reasonable.
After all, isn’t networking important in any line of work?
Besides, those in the know were aware that the inspection team was going to the countryside.
The people from the TV stations and newspapers had all prepared, but then ca the announcent not to make a big fuss, barring journalists from following along.
Now, it was on his own accord that he got a tip and went to report on the Wan City beef, ‘accidentally’ encountering mbers of the inspection team was purely coincidental.
If he could publish the news on the inspection afterward, then great; if not, he could wait until the inspection team had left.
Either way, he was a journalist who had been to the inspection site and had firsthand materials…
Having received Zhang Kun’s promise, Lin Haihu was so delighted he couldn’t contain himself.
After hanging up the phone, he began to revel in his fantasies: He certainly couldn’t tell his family about the two hundred yuan he would receive, or it would end up like his previous earnings and New Year’s money—none would be left for him.
But how should he spend the two hundred yuan himself?
There was hardly anywhere to spend money in this small rundown town; having too much money was a worry!
Humming a little tune and struggling to conceal his excitent, Lin Haihu approached Heizi, winking to signal that the matter was taken care of, then continued happily as part of the watching crowd.
He then heard Assistant ng, the leader, speaking, “Comrade Yan Fei has developed to this point, so you should be able to start so scientific research projects, right?
For instance, researching so basic epidemic disease prevention or improving the breed of cattle.
These investnts don’t need to be too large, with your finances right now, you can fully afford it!
We all heard just now, you earned ten million in the ti it takes to eat a al.
With such a strong and stable inco, doing so necessary research will ensure that your future developnt avoids detours, isn’t that sustainable developnt?”
Before Yan Fei could reply, Lin Haihu who was imrsed in his joy, was taken aback.
He hadn’t heard clearly what Yan Fei said, and nudging Heizi, he asked, “Brother Heizi, what was that one million the leader ntioned just now?
It’s not money, is it?”
“Oh, that’s the upfront paynt for beef from Hong Kong,” Heizi answered nonchalantly.
“Don’t talk, listen to what Brother Fei’s plans are, learn sothing…”
Learn sothing?!
Lin Haihu, who hadn’t yet received the two hundred yuan and was already pondering how to spend so much money, could no longer focus on the ‘troubles’ of the wealthy.
At the mont, he was plunged into deep confusion: One million…
how could that be money?
One million…
how many tis would that be two hundred yuan!
Heizi wasn’t like Lin Haihu.
Ever since he found out his pile of junk was valuable, Heizi had looked down on small amounts of money.
The information fee, for instance, he would have definitely called in the tip himself before, but now he couldn’t be bothered to make the call and casually let Lin Haihu handle it.
He was carefully listening to Yan Fei speak.
If he didn’t pay close attention now, he might fall behind Brother Fei’s developnt pace later.
Yan Fei quite agreed with Assistant ng’s remarks, “What Assistant ng said is true; previously, we were not in the right condition, and indeed, we didn’t consider this aspect.
Like diseases are indeed a big problem.
At the beginning, we even organized farrs to learn.
Now, we let the farrs organize studies themselves, with those who have learned before passing on their experience to those who haven’t.
It wasn’t until Assistant ng reminded that I realized we had beco rather complacent; we should have continued organizing it.”
“Exactly, exactly, exactly!” Assistant ng said with a smile.
“Don’t underestimate these things.
Even in research, you need to collect basic data.
With so many cows being raised in the farrs’ hos, all kinds of situations will be encountered; this can all be considered part of the experints, right?”
Secretary Niu chid in jokingly, “Assistant ng is speaking from the heart, Boss Yan must rember this well.
Maybe in the future, your laboratory, while conducting research, could achieve what Japan was advertising a couple of months ago—cloning cows…”
Cloning?
The mont the word was ntioned, Yan Fei imdiately felt that his attitude just now was too perfunctory and nodded in agreent, “Right, right, right.
We’ll set up a research institute once the cow breeding base construction is complete.
We’ll start with the basics, and the day we truly clone a cow, Assistant ng will definitely be the first one invited to guide the work…”
Everyone burst into laughter.
They really took it as a joke.
What place was this, after all?
It was a poor township in an impoverished county within the mainland—though now it’s not quite appropriate to call it a poor township, Sancha River township wouldn’t qualify as a poverty-stricken area anymore.
Ever since Boss Yan had co along, the developnt of the township’s animal husbandry had pulled many people into similar industries, so it would probably be hard to wear the ‘impoverished township’ label in the future.
Even so, talking about world-leading cloning technology for cows and sheep in a place that had just shed its poverty label was still like telling a joke, wasn’t it?
Yan Fei was also grinning, but if soone knew what he was thinking, they would probably be shocked: Cloning a cow is not so advanced technology.
If we set up a laboratory, sooner or later, we will clone a fearso dragon for you all to see…
After the group had seen the black calf, and talked for a while, when they had so free ti, The Fifth Young Master Guo, who was impatient with nothing to do, said, “Boss Yan, I’ve already reported the good news to you.
Why aren’t you taking action?”
Yan Fei was taken aback, “What action?”
“Don’t you need to buy cows to raise promptly so that when the ti cos you can supply beef to my sister’s restaurant?” The Fifth Young Master Guo was imdiately dissatisfied with his attitude.
“Hey!” Yan Fei burst into a laugh.
“That’s just a matter of saying, why the need for a setup?”
As he spoke, he called out to Heizi, not far away, “You know the deal with what just happened; go make the call, let The Fifth Young Master Guo see our efficiency.
Don’t let him think we took the money and didn’t do the job…”
Heizi nodded in acknowledgnt and headed toward the office.
