Chapter 2053: Chapter 959: Sister Cities (2)
“Oh?” Zavier seed a bit surprised, but imdiately relaxed and said, “Maybe it’s because Mr. Yan’s beef farming skills have blinded us, making us forget his talent!”
The few people present deeply resonated with this remark, all nodding in agreent.
Bubaker, on the other hand, was sowhat curious. During his days here, his relationship with Yan Fei had rapidly ward up, so he unabashedly asked, “What kind of short film did Mr. Yan make? Can we take a look at it together?”
“Of course, no problem,” Yan Fei said with a smile.
Since even the semi-experts couldn’t see anything exceptional, the short film could definitely be shared!
A few minutes later, a wave of complints arose once more…
“Yan, you’re too secretive!” Bubaker ca to his senses after watching the video and couldn’t help but complain. “I’ve been here for a few days, and you didn’t bring this out for to see first. I think this short film can even be shown in our restaurant; the production quality is no less than a good movie trailer, not at all…”
“That’s great!” Yan Fei had grown numb to the praise, thinking what’s so remarkable about it. To him, this was sothing he could casually ‘produce’ hundreds of with better quality and grandeur. “My promotional film was originally intended just for my clients.”
…
Zavier’s visit turned out to be nothing serious, just as Yan Fei and Bubaker had expected.
It was rely to et, take a picture, and prove he knew soone like Yan Fei. It’s similar to businessn who keep photos of themselves with leaders in their offices as a way to flaunt their connections.
Of course, Zavier’s action was to further boost Zhengzhi Capital, even though the clients were for the ranch, and they approached on their own. Outsiders wouldn’t know this; most ordinary people would just know that a certain famous businessman from Dubai visited Amora City and had a friendly eting at the ranch with Zavier — Zavier even brought journalists for his image promotion, truly sparing no effort.
Yan Fei had absolutely no objections, as the eting took place at the ranch. The location of their eting would surely be ntioned in the news later, giving his ranch a bit of fa, which is beneficial.
As an experienced politician, Zavier knew he couldn’t gain too many benefits from Bubaker, and rely fulfilling his duty as a host by visiting sufficed.
He had nothing more to gain by staying, so after lunch, he straightforwardly prepared to take his leave.
Bubaker had no intention of staying longer either. After Zavier bid farewell, he also regretfully said to Yan Fei, “My dear Yan, I believe I must also take my leave! I need to quickly convey the incredible effects of your beef to my people. Of course, you don’t have to worry about order issues; my only worry now is your supply being too limited.”
Yan Fei chuckled, “Don’t worry! If you’re committed to long-term supply, I can expand the cattle breeding scale specifically for you. Due to the cost of developing the beef, I hesitated to expand too much before. If there are sufficient orders, expanding the current scale by two tis is entirely doable.”
“It just might take a bit longer, because I must use skilled workers whom I originally trained. Those workers are still in China, and they need so ti to obtain visas to co to Australia…”
Upon hearing this, Zavier got anxious: “Mr. Yan, if the next batch of beef maintains the sa quality, I think it would be quite easy for your workers to apply as skilled workers…”
He then explained a series of similar operational steps, even directly saying, “Maybe Amora City and your hotown could establish a sister city relationship, simplifying processes for citizens from both cities in terms of entry and exit…”
What a delightful suggestion!
Although Amora City is a small city, Wan City… it’s not that big either!
Wancheng City does have a few sister cities, but most people wouldn’t know where those cities are if only the city nas are ntioned, let alone recognize the countries if not stated. Even one sister city was established solely because its na was identical to a city’s na in Japan.
However, beyond the title of a sister city, there is barely any interaction between cities, contributing little to Wan City’s developnt opportunities—many locals in Wan City might not even be aware their small city has international sister cities.
Now Zavier proposes establishing a sister city relationship with Wan City because Yan Fei owns cattle ranches in both locations. If truly realized, it would certainly offer better communication and interaction than the previous sister cities — the likelihood of success is quite high. In a country not yet part of the WTO, many cities aim to expand their influence through such forms.
If there are no issues in Amora City, there shouldn’t be any problems in Wan City either.
Yan Fei, being an action-oriented person, imdiately pulled out his phone, directly dialing the city office to contact soone he knew well, a second-in-command figure.
Considering the ti, it was almost the end of the workday in China. Yan Fei’s call surprised the recipient, “Boss Yan, aren’t you abroad now? What good news prompted you to think of us?”
“Haha, it really is good news!” Yan Fei laughed and said. “I’m in Amora City, where my ranch is located, and Mayor Zavier is right beside . He brought up the idea of establishing a sister city relationship with our Wancheng City, and I wanted to inform you to consider it.”
“What is there to consider?” The other party got excited right away. Normally, when asking about good news, it was just jokingly, not expecting actual good news to land. “I can represent the city in saying there are absolutely no issues. Of course, it must be discussed in a eting, but you can tell Mr. Zavier there’s no problem at all…”
Indeed, there’s no issue to fret over; despite the second-in-command status, this kind of good news doesn’t need much deliberation. It’s just a procedural matter, involving everyone discussing what follows, whether I visit you or you visit , and so amicable negotiations.
Zavier would undoubtedly be pleased, after all, that’s Boss Yan’s hotown city. And to top it off, Wan City has a population nearly half of Australia’s entire population!
This offers yet another opportunity to expand Zavier’s political capital.
The key is Yan Fei acting as the liaison, making it highly reliable for both parties.
After hanging up, Yan Fei imdiately told Zavier, “Our side supports Mr. Zavier’s proposal very much; perhaps specific operations will comnce soon. I don’t understand much about this, but if you need to coordinate, feel free to call , and I’ll gladly assist.”
…
Zavier left cheerfully, feeling like Boss Yan was his lucky star; with him, his prospect of re-election seed unquestionable.
anwhile, things were buzzing in Wancheng City; despite the workday ending, a eting was urgently convened.
The eting was to discuss adding a new international sister city for the city, and without any doubt, it passed unanimously. Regarding subsequent reports and other matters, it was essentially smooth sailing.
This was a critical mont before joining the WTO, a period when any opportunity to expand influence and increase persuasion wouldn’t be missed by the higher authorities. Furthermore, there’s an additional reason — next year involves a vote and competition to host the Olympic Gas.
Yan Fei didn’t quite grasp the significance; to him, it was a matter of chance and sothing convenient to do, nothing more.
Zavier ntioned it because he felt familiar enough with Yan Fei to bring it up, never expecting such smooth sailing — mainly because many people outside have misconceptions about China, underestimating its drastic changes over recent decades. Many still perceive China as a very closed nation.
It’s a win-win now.
So, when Yan Fei returned after seeing off his guests, a call from Wan City was already waiting, demonstrating incredible efficiency.
