Chapter 1978: Chapter 930: Environmental Pioneer Yan Xiaofei_2 The key point is that he impulsively shared this ‘childish’ idea everywhere, and when he didn’t receive a response from others, he felt dissatisfied and disheartened. Perhaps he’s encountered this kind of situation many times before, so he regards verbal support from someone like Zavier as mere perfunctory words. So naturally, he was dissatisfied, even if he had just signed a purchase contract with the other party—for a young genius, such a reaction is completely normal. There are too many young geniuses these days who don’t understand much about society or social interaction, and even have certain ‘flaws’ in their character, which make them appear foolish to others. But because this era is a period of great upheaval and development, young people can understand nothing else but still rely on their brilliant minds and exceptional skills in a particular field to amass billions in wealth. Without a doubt, Mr. Yan is one of those. Daniel had nothing to say about his patron, as after all, it was just a personal belief of the man. Daniel understood this too, having encountered similar genius characters. It’s unrealistic to think you can change even an ordinary young person’s perspective with just a few words of little friendship but serious words, let alone someone like Yan Fei, a young genius. But Zavier was different; he felt he had met a kindred spirit. In Australia, influenced by some Western ideas, or because of the local emphasis on environmental protection, a group of people there hold obsessive views on the matter. For environmental protection, people like them, from a long-term perspective, are certainly beneficial—of course, the obsessive environmentalism mentioned here refers to those obsessed with the natural environment, not the extremists who don’t want fish killed even in restaurants. Such ‘obsession’ can drive people to sail small boats between whaling ships and whales to protect whales, to use their bodies to block machinery cutting down trees, or to passionately campaign for the protection of a piece of wetland or forest. To some people, these individuals are detestable. Just like the old saying goes, cutting off someone’s source of income is like killing their parents, so many just utterly despise these environmentalists and wish they could be sent straight to hell… However, for the planet as a whole, their protection is undoubtedly beneficial—without those environmentalists throwing themselves in front of whaling ships, many whales today might only be seen in pictures. Yet, as Daniel silently criticized Boss Yan, he heard Yan Fei’s phone ringing. Yan Fei picked up the phone and saw it was from a local number he didn’t recognize, so he answered, “Hello, this is Yan Fei. May I know who this is?” “It’s Zavier; you just left my place,” a cheerful voice came through the receiver. “We successfully reached a cooperation today. If you’re free, how about having dinner with me tonight? I’m very interested in your ranch and would like to talk with you.” Zavier was taken aback at the time because when Yan Fei left just now, by their standards, his attitude was neither rational nor polite. Your rambling speech failed to capture interest, and you left icily without any courtesy—does that sound reasonable? After all, the man is a mayor; you’re a newcomer not thinking about cultivating a good relationship—isn’t that ‘immature’? No one expected that with such an attitude, barely a moment after leaving, the other party called to invite him for dinner! Is a dinner invitation so casually extended? Clearly, it isn’t anywhere. Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs novel-fire.ɴet The key is that Zavier’s subsequent meaning wasn’t just to invite Yan Fei alone, but after learning Yan Fei was bringing his wife, he immediately changed it to inviting both of them… That’s more like a family gathering, which is different from the previous dinner invitation! Clearly, at this point, the relationship had moved a step forward compared to before. Hearing Yan Fei reluctantly agree, Daniel couldn’t make heads or tails of it—am I unable to keep up with the changes of the times, or does Zavier have some ulterior motive? But he was destined not to figure it out! Yan Fei returned to the hotel and waited until Xu Xiaoyan woke up naturally. Seeing the time was just right, he told his wife that they were going to attend a dinner between just two families. Xu Xiaoyan was confused for a moment before reacting, and then said, “Oops, in that case, I need to change my clothes. Take me in quickly to change…” The clothes were all conveniently carried in the Dinosaur World. When the two arrived at the hotel Zavier had booked, they also met Zavier’s wife, an elderly lady who looked well-educated and named Chelsey—they could tell from their conversation because she used to be a professor at a university, as she told Xu Xiaoyan. Know yourself and your enemy, and you will never be defeated! On the way, Yan Fei explained the reason to his wife, so the two were actually clear about Zavier’s purpose in inviting them—it was nothing more than to understand Yan Fei’s stance on environmental protection and find out whether his beliefs were genuine or pretentious—after all, a shrewd old man like Zavier had long surpassed the age of easily believing others based on a few words! Unsurprisingly, after a few words, Zavier asked, “Is Yan very concerned about environmental protection? So what measures has your domestic business taken in this regard?” “Establishing an ecological farming system,” Yan Fei said without hesitation, as that’s exactly what he had done. “Due to population factors, our farming is primarily centralized. With pollution, the main issue is handling cow dung, which is a major problem.” “In response, I adopted methods like breeding earthworms, cultivating mushrooms, and encouraging others to use cow dung as fertilizer… We have specialized mushroom cultivation bases and earthworm breeding facilities… We even established a dedicated lab, developing an earthworm breed no inferior to the ones in Japan… We advocated the ecological planting concept across over seventy thousand people in our township and promoted it among over a million people countywide, aiming to use organic fertilizers as much as possible for all crops…” “Moreover, our research shows that if a certain number of earthworms exists per acre, it equates to using a certain amount of various fertilizers… In other words, if there are enough earthworms, the farmland won’t need fertilizing for the next few years…” “And it’s the same with cattle raising. I’ve consistently used natural feed. We invested tens of millions to introduce advanced sewage treatment systems, and it’s no exaggeration to say that the treated wastewater discharged from our company meets the standards for direct livestock consumption. This is evidenced by the fact that our beef is exported to America, and we’ve received…” A string of honors was spoken, making Zavier nod frequently, even Chelsey, the elderly lady, smiled. Anyone can talk big, but the real ability lies in implementing this concept and consistently practicing it, achieving impressive accomplishments supported by this ideology. Without a doubt, Yan Fei’s speech, coupled with Xu Xiaoyan’s adoring, starry-eyed gaze, fully convinced the Zavier couple that Yan Fei was consistently executing his beliefs. The short dinner that followed was happy and friendly, establishing a basic trust between the two families. The Zavier couple felt they had gotten enough understanding of the young couple. So, as the dinner was about to end, Zavier softly said, “Regarding the mining issue, our city is planning an auction. If Yan has any considerations in this regard and your funds are sufficient, you may want to take a look…” “For sure!” Yan Fei responded with apparent delight, resolutely expressing his commitment to being a pioneer of environmental protection. “For now, my funds are quite sufficient. My consistent environmental philosophy has garnered a lot of support, and many investment companies are interested in my business…” As for the fact that the investment company investing billions is also named after Yan Fei, there was no need to inform the couple about that. Zavier restrained his inner delight and extended his hand, “I look forward to your great news! May we have pleasant cooperation in the future, and hope that the Morning Glory Ranch will soon cultivate the highest quality beef, generating more funds to support your environmental advocacy…”
