At least we shouldn’t offend him, right? Everyone knows Yan Fei ca empty-handed with just cash. The origins of the cattle are clear; he only fattened them for a few months there.
According to news from China, he also used local cattle back ho for fattening. In other words, the growth of the cattle depends entirely on his discretion, and he can move anywhere to build a ranch as there are countless places in the world where he can do so.
When Patrick arrived, after exchanging a few pleasantries, he imdiately presented an invitation and verbally explained: "For now, let’s temporarily appoint Boss Yan as a director—not just an honorary director who doesn’t handle affairs, but a director who can actually take charge.
From the mont Zack hinted to Yan Fei, he had already considered it thoroughly. Being a director ans he can choose to handle affairs or not. Currently, when his influence isn’t strong enough yet, there’s no point in embarrassing himself by taking charge. He will take on more responsibilities when his influence grows, and his words carry weight.
Of course, accepting the invitation temporarily doesn’t affect anything; from a developnt perspective, it’s beneficial for both parties.
Moreover, since even the Chairman ca over, it shows imnse sincerity. It’s evident that the chairman here is quite influential, unlike Chairman Dong from the Wancheng City Cattle Association, who has a big title but not much actual power.
The chairman of Australia’s association holds a significant position in the entire livestock industry, likely possessing ’departntal’ level authority—if you consider that the population here is small, and there’s the governnt managing from above.
So after reviewing the rights and responsibilities associated with being a director in the docunt Patrick brought, Yan Fei cheerfully accepted the invitation.
Although Patrick was not surprised, he visibly relaxed and smiled more warmly: "In that case, let’s go and see the ten cattle Director Yan brought this ti, and see what price they can fetch at auction?"
...
Half an hour later, as the entire venue erupted in cheers and people like Xavier, Patrick, and Zack gathered around Yan Fei to congratulate him, Director Lin from Wancheng City had a sowhat stiff and incredulous expression.
Ten minutes earlier, as local association chairman Lawrence personally hosted the auction, standing on the stage and announcing the first cattle for auction, the bidding began one after another. Lawrence didn’t even need to speak; others were already raising the prices among themselves.
Hearing offers of twenty or thirty dollars, Lin Baoguo was sowhat dumbfounded and confused about what was happening.
Chen Yingjun explained to Lin Baoguo: "This is how the auctions work here; they don’t sell by the whole cow or parts. It’s auctioned off as a whole, priced per kilogram. The current bid is already thirty dollars, which is in AUD.
"AUD? Isn’t that more than four tis the value of our currency?" Lin Baoguo was extrely surprised. "Thirty dollars per kilogram is over a hundred per kilo in our currency! This is the price for a whole cow... Let calculate; these cattle here seem bigger than ours. Let’s say it’s a thousand kilos; at thirty dollars per kilo, that would be over thirty thousand, which ans..."
"Don’t bother calculating, Director Lin." Old Chen interrupted him before he could continue. "The bidding is still ongoing; it’s just started. It’s already gone up to forty!"
"Forty?" Lin Baoguo seed to be in a daze. "Xiao Fei is making a fortune again!"
"Haha, keep watching, I see those people are still raising bids." Heizi gloated nearby.
Indeed, the bidding continued, and many people were interested, ranging from ranch owners to food companies from all over the world. Once the assessnt results were out, everyone knew without waiting for the association’s announcent that the quality of Morning Glory’s beef is at least a level twelve—the highest level of the brand-new grading standard.
And this is just the first auctioned cattle, which carries symbolic aning, attracting many eager buyers!
When the price reached a hundred AUD, Director Lin was already numb, and looking at the crowd around him, he felt surreal.
As the price continued to soar to two hundred AUD, Director Lin’s legs beca weak, and he couldn’t help but lean on Heizi’s shoulder next to him, or he wouldn’t be able to stand.
When the price soared to three hundred, Director Lin beca calm, his eyes glazed over, on the verge of fainting!
The shouting brought him back to reality; he rubbed his face and steadied himself: "Go on, keep bidding, I just don’t believe one cow can sell for a million, let’s see if they continue!"
"Four hundred and eighty-five, four hundred and eighty-five, four hundred and eighty-five!" Even Lawrence seed overwheld, his voice hoarse as he announced from the stage. "Any higher offers? If not..."
After repeatedly asking, Lawrence finally struck the stick in his hand—a traditional move using a wooden stick auctioneers often use on stage.
"The weight of this cattle is one thousand one hundred fifty-six kilograms, with a total price of fifty-six thousand six hundred sixty dollars, sold!" With Lawrence announcing the final price, the whole crowd erupted in cheers.
Lin Baoguo murmured softly: "Sure enough, in a capitalist country, capitalists live not for life but for a single bite of food! Spending tens of thousands, no, this is hundreds of thousands on one cow, that’s a bit too much!"
