Chapter 286: Chapter 44: Chips
The car carried Li Fei into a courtyard and stopped in the front yard.
After getting out of the car, soone led him further inside.
With its lush greenery and willows casting shade, the courtyard was expansive and lavishly decorated.
In the highly sought-after Datong Prefecture City, this courtyard’s price was no less than a million!
A few minutes into the walk, Li Fei encountered a lake.
In the middle of the lake sat a cool pavilion, where Feng Sanniang, clad in a yellow dress today, was gracefully brewing tea; beside her sat a middle-aged man.
Crossing the bridge, Li Fei walked into the Lake Heart Pavilion.
Feng Sanniang had just finished preparing the tea and stood up with the middle-aged man.
“Mr. Green.”
Feng Sanniang greeted Li Fei with a smile and then introduced the man beside her:
“This is Mr. He Peng from Feng Province, a businessman from Luo’s company.”
Hearing “businessman from Luo’s company,” Li Fei imdiately knew who the seller Feng Sanniang had found was.
Luo Yifu from Feng Province, dealing in Exotic Beast Food and Implants. His operation was not inferior to the “Beast King” Yu Longqing, and he might even have the backing of the Feng Province Inspector.
That’s a true Governor, a heavyweight of the court!
Therefore, Luo’s business thrived smoothly, unafraid of any trouble from the “Beast King.”
“Mr. He Peng has seen the Green-faced Ghost King.”
The man paid his respects to Li Fei with a clasped fist.
Although Li Fei had now made it onto the Fengyun List in Feng Province, compared to the strength and influence of Qingyuan City Managent Company, he was still a step behind the “Seven Kings” of Datong Prefecture.
Thus, Mr. He Peng’s title of “Ghost King” was sowhat flattering.
Li Fei returned the gesture: “Mr. He.”
“Please, both of you, have a seat and enjoy so tea,”
Feng Sanniang invited with a smile.
“Thanks to the Ghost King, I have the fortune to taste the tea personally brewed by Miss Feng.”
He Peng said with a laugh.
After so pleasantries – mainly between Feng Sanniang and He Peng – Li Fei maintained the aloof persona of the Green-faced Ghost and spoke little.
“I heard from Miss Feng that the Ghost King wants to purchase a batch of Exotic Beast Food?”
He Peng brought up the main subject.
Li Fei nodded: “That’s right.”
“In the past, Luo’s company was reluctant to conflict with the ‘Beast King’, hence they never sold goods to Datong Prefecture. But since Miss Feng has spoken, our boss is willing to make friends with the Ghost King, so we will sell this batch.”
He Peng said.
It seed that Miss Feng had significant clout with Luo’s company.
“Then, I am much obliged,” Li Fei responded.
The pair quickly ca to an agreent on the partnership:
Goods worth three hundred thousand would be delivered to the border of Datong Prefecture within a week.
From a price perspective, these goods were more expensive than those sold by the “Beast King,” but Li Fei understood.
It wasn’t that Luo Yifu was intentionally selling at high prices, but given the transportation capabilities of the era, transporting several hundred tons of goods was costly.
Besides higher costs, Luo’s company only ensured delivery to the border of Datong Prefecture; they would not take responsibility beyond that.
Although not fearful of the “Beast King,” they had no imdiate intention of engaging Yu Longqing in a head-on conflict, nor did they want to be used by others.
However, given Feng Sanniang’s influence, He Peng indicated that they did not require a deposit and that paynt could be made upon receipt of the goods.
Li Fei expressed his gratitude.
Thus, the deal was settled.
After sitting for a while longer, He Peng took his leave.
Only Li Fei and Feng Sanniang remained in the Lake Heart Pavilion.
“Mr. Green, have you ever wondered why Yu Longqing can monopolize the trade of Exotic Beast Food in Datong Prefecture?” Feng Sanniang suddenly asked.
“Do you have so advice for ?” Li Fei looked at her.
He knew that Yu Longqing’s monopoly wasn’t just due to force; he couldn’t possibly threaten all factions or scare away all outside rchants.
To achieve a monopoly in business, strength was only part of it; there must be sothing special about it.
“Mr. Green, you also breed Exotic Beasts, so you know this is not a simple matter,” Feng Sanniang comnted.
Li Fei nodded.
Indeed, breeding Exotic Beasts was a complex matter.
With the sa species, so could rear ten beasts, all providing high-quality Implants; others could rear ten yet seven would yield defective, subpar Implants. The difference was imnse!
Had the Tiger Saber Gang not spent many years slowly exploring and making mistakes, they would not have established a successful Exotic Beast Breeding Farm, complete with a thorough breeding process. If Li Fei had to start from scratch, it was untelling how long and how much effort it would take, or if he’d even succeed.
Li Fei was indeed fortunate!
Within the process of breeding Exotic Beasts, the food was crucial; figuring out how to feed the beasts better at the lowest cost was what sellers of Exotic Beast Food had to explore.
“Yu Longqing can monopolize the trade because his prices are lower and the quality of his Exotic Beast Food is high,” Feng Sanniang said. “There are secret recipes for making Exotic Beast Food, and Yu Longqing has several exclusive ones, which is why his products sell so well. He’s not just dominating the Datong Prefecture trade; he’s the best-selling in all of Feng Province.”
Li Fei nodded in understanding — affordable and quality goods were naturally favored by buyers.
“Take a look at this.”
Feng Sanniang handed Li Fei a piece of paper.
Li Fei received it and looked down to read.
Monts later, he looked up at Feng Sanniang:
