Chapter 182 Chips
The car carrying Li Fei drove into a courtyard and stopped in the front yard.

After Li Fei got off the car, someone took him inside.

The courtyard is full of dense trees and shaded by willow trees. The courtyard is very large and luxuriously decorated.

In Datong City, where every inch of land is valuable, the price of this courtyard is at least over one million!
After walking for a few minutes, a lake appeared in front of Li Fei.

There is a pavilion in the middle of the lake. Feng Sanniang, who is wearing a yellow dress today, is making tea in the pavilion gracefully. A middle-aged man is sitting next to her.

Li Fei walked into the pavilion in the center of the lake through the covered bridge.

Feng Sanniang had just finished making tea and stood up with the middle-aged man.

"Mr. Qing."

Feng Sanniang greeted Li Fei with a smile, then pointed to the man next to her and introduced him:

"This is Mr. He Penghe, Mr. Luo's man from the provincial capital."

"Boss Luo from the provincial capital." When Li Fei heard these words, he immediately knew who the seller Feng Sanniang was looking for.

Luo Yifu, from the provincial capital of Feng Province, runs a business of exotic beast rations and implants. His business scale is no less than that of the 'Beast King' Yu Longqing, and he may have the support of the Inspector General of Feng Province behind him.

He is a real provincial governor and an important official in the imperial court!
Therefore, Boss Luo's business is going smoothly and he is not afraid of being troubled by the 'Beast King'.

"He Peng has seen the Green-Faced Ghost King."

The man saluted Li Fei with his fists clasped.

Although Li Fei has now made it onto the list of the most influential people in Feng Province, with the strength and influence of Qingyuan Urban Management Company, he is still a long way from being on par with the "Seven Kings" of Datong Prefecture.

So He Peng's calling him "Ghost King" was actually a compliment.

Li Fei also returned the greeting: "Mr. He."

"Come, please take a seat and have some tea."

Feng Sanniang greeted with a smile.

"Thanks to the Ghost King, I can drink the tea made by Sanniang herself."

He Peng said with a smile.

A few people exchanged greetings, mainly Feng Sanniang and He Peng. Li Fei maintained the cold and aloof personality of the Green-faced Ghost and didn't say much.

"I heard from Sanniang that the Ghost King wants to buy some food for exotic beasts?"

He Peng took the initiative to bring up the main topic.

Li Fei nodded: "Yes."

"In the past, Boss Luo didn't want to conflict with the 'Beast King', so he never sold the goods to Datong Prefecture. But now that Sanniang has spoken, our Boss Luo is also willing to make friends with the Ghost King, so we can sell this batch of goods."

He Peng said.

It seems that Feng Sanniang has a lot of face with Boss Luo.

"Thank you very much."

Li Fei said.

The two of them quickly reached an agreement on this cooperation:

The goods are worth a total of three hundred thousand, and Luo Yifu can transport them to the border of Datong Prefecture within a week.

Judging from the price, this batch of goods is more expensive than the "Beast King", but Li Fei can understand it.

It's not that Luo Yifu intends to sell himself at a high price, but with the transportation capacity of that era, the cost of transporting hundreds of tons of goods all the way here is a considerable amount.

In addition to the higher cost, Luo Yifu only guarantees to transport the goods to the border of Datong Prefecture. They will not be responsible for anything further inland.

Although they are not afraid of the 'Beast King', they have not yet thought about engaging in a direct battle with Yu Longqing, nor do they want to be used by others.

However, for Feng Sanniang's sake, He Peng said that there was no need to pay a deposit first, and that he could pay in person after the goods arrived.

Li Fei expressed his gratitude for this.

The deal was done.

After sitting for a while, He Peng took the initiative to leave.

Only Li Fei and Feng Sanniang were left in the pavilion in the middle of the lake.

"Mr. Qing, have you ever thought about why Yu Longqing was able to monopolize the exotic animal food business in Datong Prefecture?"

Feng Sanniang suddenly asked.

"Sanniang, can you teach me?"

Li Fei looked at the other person.

He only knew that Yu Longqing was able to monopolize the business in Datong Prefecture, and it was definitely not by force, because the other party could not threaten all forces at the same time, nor could he scare away all the merchants outside.

For a business to achieve the level of monopoly, strength is one part, but there must also be its unique features.

"Master Qing is also raising exotic animals, so he should know that this is not a simple subject."

Feng Sanniang said.

Li Fei nodded.

Indeed, exotic animal breeding is a very complicated subject.

For the same exotic beast, some people raise ten, and all ten of them can provide high-quality implants; while some people raise ten, and the implants provided by seven of them are defective and unqualified.

The difference between the two is huge!

If the Tiger Blade Gang had not spent many years slowly exploring and trial and error before successfully establishing an exotic animal breeding farm with a complete breeding process, it would be hard to tell how much time and effort it would take for Li Fei to build it from scratch, and he might not even succeed in the end.

So Li Fei actually got a great bargain!

In the process of exotic animal breeding, exotic animal rations are a very important part. How to feed exotic animals better at the lowest cost is what exotic animal ration sellers need to study.

"Yu Longqing was able to monopolize the business in Datong Prefecture not only because his prices were cheaper, but also because the exotic beast rations he sold were of high quality."

Feng Sanniang said, "There are secret recipes for making exotic animal rations. Yu Longqing has mastered several exclusive secret recipes, so his products can sell so well. He not only monopolizes the business in Datong Prefecture, but is also the best seller in the entire Feng Province."

Li Fei nodded. The goods he sold were cheap and good, so there was no reason for people not to buy from him.

"Look at this."

Feng Sanniang handed Li Fei a piece of paper.

Li Fei took it and looked down at it.

After a moment, he raised his head and looked at Feng Sanniang:

"This is?"

"Chips."

Feng Sanniang smiled charmingly, "Adding chips."

The piece of paper she gave Li Fei contained a top-secret message:
The Chen family in Xingcheng has been secretly providing Yu Longqing with raw materials for making food for exotic beasts!

The Chen family’s ancestral home is in Chenjia Village near Xingcheng. The Chen family started here and only moved to Xingcheng and took root after becoming big and strong.

The villagers of Chenjia Village have made a living by collecting herbs in the mountains for generations. The Chen family started out in the herbal medicine business. After becoming the number one family in Xingcheng, there are still a large number of herbal medicine collectors in Chenjia Village, and the herbal medicine business has not stopped.

But not many people know, including those herbalists of the Chen family, that some of the herbs they collected were actually provided to the 'Beast King' Yu Longqing.

"No wonder the Chen family was able to find Zhang Shan for help."

Li Fei recalled what happened before he came to Datong City.

At that time, the Chen family occupied the exotic animal breeding farm and was unwilling to hand it over, so they asked Zhang Shan, the strongest fighter under the "Beast King", for help.

If the two parties were just in a normal business relationship, Yu Longqing would not have attached so much importance to the Chen family.

Now he finally knew why.

It turns out that the Chen family is also Yu Longqing’s most important supplier of raw materials.

"Yu Longqing has two biggest advantages. One is the high quality of his exotic beast rations, and the other is the low price. If we can cut off the supply of several of his raw materials, he will have to purchase them from other places at a higher price. In this way, his price advantage will be greatly reduced, and other merchants will have the opportunity to squeeze out his market share through price wars."

Feng Sanniang said slowly.

Li Fei looked at her: "Is this the chip you mentioned for the raise?"

Feng Sanniang smiled and said, "You are looking for me to join forces, isn't it because you want to get rid of Yu Longqing and take over the business of exotic beast rations yourself? It's just that this plate is too big, and your Qingyuan Urban Management Company can't swallow it. If the Zhang family and I are added, there will be no problem." Li Fei really thought so.

If the Zhang family could get the business of exotic beast rations, and have Feng Sanniang as an ally, they would at least have the ability to protect themselves and would no longer be treated as a piece of meat by others.

As for Feng Sanniang, it would be difficult for her to monopolize the entire business. If she did not have Qingyuan Urban Management Company and the Zhang family as allies, she might not be able to keep such a huge profit.

Feng Sanniang obviously saw it very clearly and was indeed tempted to join forces, otherwise she would not have taken the initiative to offer such a bargaining chip.

Chenjia Village is near Xingcheng, which is Li Fei's home ground. As long as he controls Chenjia Village, an important raw material production area, he will not have to worry about being kicked out no matter how the situation changes in the future.

"Okay, I'll take this chip."

Li Fei raised the paper in his hand, then stood up and prepared to leave.

"Then I wish Master Qing to make a lot of money."

Feng Sanniang stood up, looked at Li Fei with great charm, bowed slightly and saluted.

Li Fei's heart was slightly rippled, but it soon calmed down. He nodded, turned and left.

Looking at his leaving back, Feng Sanniang's eyes were deep.

On March 3th, Wuhan University was on holiday.

This semester is over and the new semester starts on April 4st.

Li Fei decided to return to Xingcheng.

Not only do I want to go back to see Li Lei and Zhang Yuqing, I also want to meet Hao Yi and learn new things from him.

Finally, he just happened to go back to deal with the matter of Chenjia Village.

Shangguan Xiao will continue to stay in Datong City.

With her, a powerful Taoist master in the foundation stage, in charge and also an official appointed by the imperial court, at least the major forces would not dare to target the Zhang family's industry too blatantly.

Li Fei left all the people he had transferred from Qingyuan Urban Management Company to Fucheng to Shangguan Xiao, so that the other party would have people at his disposal.

Finally, he, Li Tianyu and Chen Lixin left on an early morning train.

Just like when we came here, we first took the train to Mingqi City and rested for a night.

When staying in the hotel, Li Fei took the initiative to choose to stay in the same room with Chen Lixin.

"Set your mind."

In the evening, after the three of them had dinner together, Li Fei and Chen Lixin returned to the room, and Li Fei suddenly took the initiative to call out.

"what happened?"

Chen Lixin turned and looked at him.

"Do you know about my master's aunt Shangguan Xiao?"

Li Fei asked.

This time when he returned to Xingcheng, he wanted to take action against the Chen family, so he wanted to talk to this good friend who he had played with since childhood.

In the memory of his previous life, Chen Lixin was a very important person to him.

Influenced by the memories of his previous life, Li Fei inevitably has soft feelings towards Chen Lixin.

Chen Lixin was startled and adjusted his glasses:

"Are you planning to take action against the Chen family?"

"Ok?"

Li Fei was shocked. He didn't expect Chen Lixin to be able to guess it.

The problem is, there is no reason for the other party to guess it.

In the past, this trio has always been centered around Li Tianyu. She is the big sister, responsible for setting action goals, Li Fei silently executes them, and Chen Lixin acts as the military strategist.

In Li Tianyu's words, 'Chen Gou' looks honest, but in fact he is full of tricks and is insidious and cunning.

"Your master is from the Zhang family, and the Green-faced Ghost is her ally. 'Beast King' Yu Longqing has put a bounty on the Green-faced Ghost, and the Green-faced Ghost has also put a bounty on Yu Longqing. It seems that your master and the Green-faced Ghost intend to use the 'Beast King' as a breakthrough point to break the deadlock."

Chen Lixin analyzed calmly.

Li Fei became interested and looked at him: "Then why do you think they are planning to attack the Chen family? There is no necessary connection between the two."

Chen Lixin spread his hands: "Originally, I didn't, but you suddenly wanted to live in the same room with me, and you also observed me many times along the way today. This is completely different from the you before. Although you are very different now, I think you must have something to say to me.

Look, given our relationship, you could have said anything directly to me, but you chose to avoid Tian Yu and talk to me alone. I'm just an ordinary business student, what do I need to talk to you about alone? So I think it can only be related to the Chen family.

I happen to know that the Chen family has business dealings with the 'Beast King' Yu Longqing, so this is the connection."

After listening to this, Li Fei still felt a little unbelievable and looked at Chen Lixin with surprise:
"Based on these alone, you can infer that my master and his friends are going to attack the Chen family?"

Chen Lixin smiled, revealing the kind of cunning look that he would only show in front of his two good friends:

"It was all a guess, actually. I just wanted to trick you, but I didn't expect that I could actually trick you. To be honest, I was really shocked."

Li Fei: “.”

He found that he had underestimated his good friend in the past.

After a long while, he managed to utter a few words in a somewhat depressed tone:

"Chen Gou, you are a real dog!"

"Ha ha ha ha."

Chen Lixin was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

Li Fei also started laughing.

The slight sense of estrangement between the two of them due to Li Fei's great changes disappeared, and it seemed as if they had returned to their childhood.

After laughing, Chen Lixin looked at Li Fei with a serious look:

"So, your master and the others are really going to take action against the Chen family?"

Li Fei nodded and admitted it.

As for the matter of Chenjia Village, he certainly would not tell the other party directly.

"Ah, I don't really feel anything. Really."

Chen Lixin said, "Chen Lixin must be very concerned about this matter, but I am just a child of a concubine in the Chen family. I have not been valued since I was a child. If I hadn't been admitted to Wuhan University, the elders in my family might not even remember my name.

To be honest, as long as my mother and the servants of the Chen family who have taken care of me since I was a child are doing well, I don’t care that much about what will happen to the Chen family, and I can’t control it. "

Chen Lixin's father died in an accident in his early years, and he was raised by his mother since childhood.

Because he has no father, he is not valued in the Chen family.

In other words, he was smart since childhood, had very good grades, and was eventually admitted to Wuhan University. Otherwise, he, the "young master of the Chen family", would not be much different from ordinary people.

"Ah."

Li Fei nodded.

He looked at this seemingly honest friend, and suddenly an idea came to his mind:
"Li Xin, do you plan to enter the officialdom in the future?"

Chen Lixin is a student of business at Wuhan University. If he graduates successfully, he will have the opportunity to become a first-class official and start as a minor official.

"I'm not really interested in being an official. If possible, I'd like to start my own business."

Chen Lixin's face showed an eager expression.

He has been interested in business since he was a child, so he chose business as his major in middle school.

"Then, are you interested in running the Chen family's business?"

Li Fei asked.

"what?"

Now it was Chen Lixin's turn to be surprised.
