Chapter 957
Harvest
Having seen through the plot of tonight's show, Yue Feng quickly finished washing up and went to bed.
Close your eyes, let your thoughts wander, and before you know it, you're asleep.
After a long and tiring day, Yue Feng slept soundly until after 7 a.m., not even hearing the rooster crow. It was Jinlong who woke him up to call him for breakfast.
"Hey kid, did you have insomnia last night? You slept until after seven o'clock, that's not like you at all!" Jinlong grinned at Yue Feng, his eyes filled with concern.
Yue Feng shook his head: "No, I fell asleep as soon as I lay down. I was really exhausted yesterday! But you came so early, I'm not used to it!"
"After I got back, I called a few friends and asked around!"
"What did you find out?" Yue Feng straightened his back instantly.
"That idiot Li Wenhu is really unlucky! His father chose the wrong side and it seems he's about to lose his job! That's why Li Wenhu, in his desperation, believed Zhao Ruixin's nonsense!"
Hearing this, Yue Feng nodded: "Is Li Wenhu alright? Last night he stabbed his thigh twice with my knife. Although it didn't go all the way through, the wounds were quite deep!"
"It's nothing serious, he went straight to the military hospital for stitches! Speaking of which, Li Wenhu is quite a man of guts; he really dared to stab himself in the leg when it mattered!"
Yue Feng grinned but didn't respond to that question; he was thinking about another problem.
Two seconds later, Yue Feng asked, "Since Li Wenhu's father is about to lose his official position, why didn't Brother Jianjun step forward last night to deal with Li Wenhu? No matter how powerful his family is, once he's lost his official hat, what's there to be afraid of!"
When Jinlong heard Yue Feng's question, he shook his head with a smile: "It's not as simple as you think! Anyone who can stand firm in this small area has some kind of foundation."
Li Wenhu's father has fallen from grace, but his uncles are still in charge of different units! If you cripple someone's child, do you think they'll swallow this insult?
Even if their power is inferior to the Ye family, a counterattack still hurts! Your proposed solution yesterday was the safest one!
Hearing this explanation, Yue Feng nodded: "I understand! By the way, did you bring breakfast? I'm hungry."
After dinner, we still need to go to the club's headquarters. The eagle and the dog are there; today we need to hand over the raptors and the money we just acquired!
"Hehe, I bought fried dough sticks and tofu pudding! You're pretty carefree, doing something so big and not nervous at all!"
Yue Feng took the breakfast from Jin Long and then sat down to eat it heartily.
After eating a few fried dough sticks, he curled his lips and said, "I've dealt with adult Siberian tigers weighing four or five hundred pounds without batting an eye. No matter how powerful a person is, can they be more ferocious than a tiger?"
This just hasn't crossed my real bottom line yet. If you really push me too far, I'll just give up this uniform and all my businesses. I'll go stay on the border, and I'll still be a hero then!
Upon hearing Yue Feng's words, Jinlong, who had been smiling just a moment ago, visibly stiffened slightly, though he managed to conceal it well.
Jinlong only just realized that Yue Feng, who looked harmless, was actually a top hunter who had personally led teams to kill several tigers! If he had malicious intentions, killing one or two people would indeed be no problem for him!
His words were impeccable, but Yue Feng himself knew that it was just empty talk for the sake of feeling good. There was no going back. With a broad road to heaven, who would want to take that narrow, winding path that made it hard to sleep?
……
After having breakfast, Yue Feng and Jin Long took a car to the club's location.
Yesterday's exhibition was over, and many tents, furniture, and other items hadn't been taken down yet. Mingkai and Xiaohui were already there with their team, busy at the venue.
Li Guangkun and Grandpa Liu were also helping out there. The huge exhibition hall needed at least several truckloads of supplies to be cleaned up.
"Grandpa, Uncle Li, Brother Li! Are you busy?" Yue Feng shouted from dozens of meters away.
Hearing the call, Xiao Ying Liu turned his head, put down his work, and came over.
"Xiaofeng's here. Have you eaten? There's still breakfast in the kitchen. Let me heat it up for you."
"Hehe, sir, Jin Shao and I have already eaten at home! How was it? The club's eagles were all normal, right?"
"Everything is normal. I didn't sleep last night and checked each one every few hours! As of this morning, all the eagles are normal!" Grandpa Liu said with great certainty.
"That's good! It's fortunate you discovered it in time. If the fluff had spread, who knows what might have happened!"
"It was your planned isolation zone that really worked. Yesterday, that troublemaker scattered the fluff all over the ground, but he still couldn't reach the cage door!"
"The investigation is almost complete. Last night, after Jun-ge and I entertained the VIPs at the banquet, we took care of the matter. You can rest assured that similar incidents should not happen again!"
"The matter has been investigated? Who did this? What's the reason? Do they have a grudge against us?"
"I guess so. There was some guy trying to use this opportunity to get us to oppose Zhang Chaochao. Li Wenhu was his pawn, and I've already taken care of him! As for the rest, Brother Jun and Zhang Chaochao will handle it; we don't need to worry about it!"
Yue Feng told Xiao Ying Liu everything he could.
At Mr. Liu's age, he still values all his hard work. After listening to Yue Feng's words, Mr. Liu's expression immediately calmed down, and his slightly furrowed brows relaxed.
"It's good that we've figured it out. It would be such a waste if we invested so much manpower and resources and it fell apart halfway through!"
By the way, I had a long chat with Li Guangkun over tea last night, and he wants to stay and work here!
This guy's basic business skills are pretty solid, why don't you let Jianjun know?
"Haha, no need. If he wants to stay and work, then let him stay. Isn't it up to us to decide these things?"
Yue Feng grinned, making a clear and unequivocal promise for the first time.
Ye Jianjun was able to get Yue Feng to play the bad cop and offend people, so Yue Feng naturally knew that his status had been elevated considerably.
Yue Feng had been observing Li Guangkun for a long time, and now that the meeting was over, it was only natural for him to stay and work with him; Yue Feng could make the decision himself.
After a while, Li Guangkun and Li Fulin finished moving the goods they were carrying and came over as well.
"Guangkun, Xiaofeng said he wants you to stay and work!" Grandpa Liu directly informed Li Guangkun.
Upon hearing this, Li Guangkun's eyes lit up with a smile: "Aren't you going to greet Young Master Ye and ask?"
Yue Feng smiled and shook his head: "What I say goes. The salary standard will be the same as Uncle Li's. However, since you came late, you won't get any club shares or other benefits!"
Let's work hard for now, and when the year is over, Brother Jun will give you your year-end bonuses!
As for other things, anything reasonable can be brought up.
Brother Li wanted his wife and child to come to Beijing too!
I also have a courtyard house; you can move there! It'll save me the trouble of hiring someone to look after the house!
Upon hearing Yue Feng's words, Li Guangkun's eyes widened instantly.
Yue Feng is so generous! And he even has another courtyard house that I've never heard him mention before.
Suddenly, Li Guangkun felt a growing sense of unfamiliarity towards Yue Feng. He had no idea how many tricks this seemingly young man had up his sleeve.
Li Guangkun nodded emphatically: "Okay, when I go back this time, I'll go home and take care of things at home. Once everything is settled, I'll report to the club!"
"Okay! Uncle Liu, who's in charge of the club's finances and accounts right now? Could you give my brother Li some money for transportation expenses?"
"Xiao Hui and Ming Kai are in charge. I'll talk to them later!"
"That's it!"
……
After a brief exchange, Li Guangkun's joining the club was finalized under Yue Feng's guidance.
With his employment confirmed, Li Guangkun became even more motivated. After saying goodbye, he went back to helping move goods, working even more efficiently than the young people in their twenties and thirties.
After briefly discussing the trivial matters, Yue Feng returned to the VIP lounge to check on the eagles inside.
All four of his own eagles, plus Salman's two, were in good condition. When the big black eagle heard Yue Feng's movements, it put on its hat and started cawing loudly.
"Alright, alright, I know you two haven't had a chance to fly yet! You can fly back to the compound later, the club just disinfected it!"
Yue Feng said a few words of comfort, and the big black eagle, as if it understood, quickly stopped yelling, its feathers fluffed up, and it squatted there to rest.
Around 10 a.m., Zhang Chaochao arranged for a young man who looked somewhat familiar to Yue Feng to come to the club's residence.
The purpose of coming here is very simple: one is to take away the first-generation gyrfalcon and wild gray gyrfalcon that were agreed to be exchanged yesterday, and the other is to deliver the money that was agreed upon yesterday.
Yue Feng originally thought he would see a huge sum of 600,000 yuan in cash. In those days, the largest denomination was only ten yuan, so 600,000 yuan was a huge amount of cash.
Unfortunately, no cash was found. What Zhang Chaochao sent was a bank transfer check with the recipient's name on it, which was made to the Eagle Hunting Club.
Yue Feng also had a basic understanding of finance. For such a large sum of money, transferring it between companies was the easiest way, as it only required deduction.
As for taxes, there's no need to worry. Whether you're buying or exchanging Raptors, you can make a corresponding transfer contract. There's no fixed price for these things. As long as both parties agree, everything can be included in the cost. As long as you operate reasonably and legally and go through the motions, Yue Feng won't suffer any losses.
After receiving the money, Yue Feng briefly learned about the withdrawal process and felt much more at ease.
With so much money in hand, he couldn't just sit idle. Taking advantage of the remaining opportunity, Yue Feng once again entrusted Jinlong to continue inquiring about suitable courtyard houses.
With 600,000 yuan, even at the high price of 100,000 yuan per set, one could still purchase ten more courtyard houses.
With so many low-priced properties in hand, Yue Feng could live a completely financially free life for the rest of his days, even if he did nothing.
As noon approached, Yue Feng, who had made a fortune, immediately said he would treat everyone to a celebration, and the club's premises became lively again.
In the kitchen, a large pot of hearty dishes, such as whole lamb and venison, were stewing. A large group of people ate and drank until after 2 p.m. before the gathering finally ended.
After eating and drinking his fill, Yue Feng said goodbye to Jin Long and returned to his residence in the city. He had only been home for less than ten minutes when Salman and Evan's liaison officer arrived at Yue Feng's house.
"Mr. Yue Feng, our boss would like to invite you to a private banquet tonight! Here is the invitation!"
Yue Feng took the invitation and glanced at it. Damn it, the banquet they chose was at the Beijing Hotel.
Yue Feng had never been to these restaurants and banquets that catered to foreigners, but since they had paid so readily, he was bound to attend the private banquet; otherwise, it would be disrespectful.
Yue Feng immediately inquired about the relevant precautions from Jin Long, changed into a proper suit, and arrived at the banquet on time in the evening.
There's not much to say about the banquet; it was just a way to build relationships. It was quite grand, but there wasn't much truly delicious or filling food.
Zhang Chaochao was busy with something and didn't show up. The whole time, Yue Feng, Evan Salman, and two translators accompanied them.
During the dinner, Yue Feng learned through inquiries that their application to modify their itinerary had not been approved, and they could only return the day after tomorrow as originally planned.
Yue Feng left them with more than one contact number and address, waiting for them to choose a suitable time to visit China again after they returned home.
When Yue Feng returned home drunk, it was already past ten o'clock at night.
After getting to know each other, the two foreigners showed their enthusiasm. If Yue Feng hadn't been so restrained, they might have been arranged to stay at his place. Salman's assistant even whispered that he could find some unspeakable people to accompany him.
Of course, someone like Yue Feng, who was determined to find a foreign woman even when Jinlong was looking for one, would naturally decline the offer from these foreigners he had just met.
Back at his lodgings, Yue Feng brewed some tea and sat alone in the room, quietly drinking and contemplating for a long time.
Although this trip to Beijing was quite eventful and many things happened along the way, the overall outcome was good.
It's hard to say how the cooperation with Salman will go, but at least Evan will find someone to study Yue Feng's Great Black Eagle bloodline falcon species after he returns home.
If the other party can reach an agreement, it will be another large income for Yue Feng, no less than today's amount.
Before he knew it, it was eleven o'clock. All was quiet outside. Yue Feng rubbed his sore eyes. It was time to sleep.
Before he could wash up and go back to his room to lie down, Jinlong hurriedly drove to Yuefeng's residence and knocked on the door.
"Xiaofeng, are you asleep? It's Jinlong, open the door!!"
Yue Feng immediately got up and left the north room, quickly walking to the courtyard gate.
"What's wrong? What happened?" Yue Feng pushed open the courtyard gate, looking puzzled.
"Don't sleep at home, come to my place! Hurry up, we'll talk about the details on the way!" Jinlong said very seriously.
"Hmm? Okay, I'll pack my clothes!"
Yue Feng grabbed his clothes and followed Jin Long out of the house, then got into the passenger seat.
Once they got in the car, it started and sped away from Yue Feng's house.
After catching his breath, Yue Feng asked, "What happened? What's wrong? It's the middle of the night, and you're making it sound like someone's going to die!"
"Something terrible has happened!!" (End of Chapter)
