In mid-July, the weather in Fengshan County was unbearably hot. Although it was only a little past nine o'clock, the sun was already high in the sky and the heat was intense.

As Xiong Ge was explaining the business strategy of Xiangyang Ranch on the platform, beads of sweat kept rolling down his face, leaving several damp marks on his white shirt.

Brother Xiong stood ramrod straight, passionately and forcefully recounting the ranch management strategies that Zhang Yun had taught him.

"After I took over Xiangyang Ranch, all the original staff were retained, and their salaries remained unchanged."

"After I take over Xiangyang Ranch, I will increase the types of poultry raised, such as wild rabbits, domestic pigs, bamboo rats, domestic chickens, and mergansers."

"After I take over Xiangyang Ranch, I will continue to follow the guidance of the county party committee and actively ensure the meat supply for the people of the county."

In just three minutes, Brother Xiong explained all the business strategies that Zhang Yun had told him.

In reality, these business strategies are just a formality, meant for the onlookers.

After finishing his statement, Brother Xiong bowed to County Magistrate Qin Zhiqing in the center of the platform, then bowed to the people before stepping down.

Zhang Yun mingled among the people and listened quietly to Brother Xiong's statement. At this moment, he also looked towards the podium.

County Magistrate Qin Zhiqing was over fifty years old, wearing a white shirt that was almost worn out. More than half of his white hair had turned silver. He just sat there quietly, yet he exuded a natural leadership aura.

Lu Baolin, the director of the Public Security Bureau, was also sitting on the platform. He had already noticed Zhang Yun and casually raised his hand to wave at Zhang Yun as a greeting.

Sitting next to Lu Baolin was Liu Kaixuan, the owner of Xiangyang Ranch. He also saw Zhang Yun and nodded to him.

On the platform stood another man, in his forties, but with a large belly, who coldly surveyed the crowd.

Meanwhile, sitting right next to this man was Ouyang Fei.

At this moment, Zhang Yun realized that this person was very likely Ouyang Fei's uncle, namely Ouyang Qingfeng, the director of the county's agricultural bureau.

Feng Yingjie, who had already explained the ranch management strategy, stood obediently behind Ouyang Fei. He kept staring at Xiong Ge with a murderous look in his eyes, as if he wanted to kill Xiong Ge on the spot.

At this moment, County Magistrate Qin Zhiqing whispered to Lu Baolin and Ouyang Qingfeng for a while.

Then, Qin Zhiqing stood up.

"Comrades, quiet down!"

Qin Zhiqing waved his hand, signaling the onlookers to quiet down.

It has to be said that people are still very obedient these days. The county magistrate's words have a lot of effect. They were making a lot of noise just now, but they all shut up and didn't say a word in an instant.

"Just now, Comrade Feng Yingjie and Comrade Xiong Hai have presented the operating strategy of Xiangyang Ranch. I am very satisfied with the fact that both of them are very concerned about protecting the interests of the employees of Xiangyang Ranch."

"Both comrades mentioned that Xiangyang Ranch needs to expand the variety of meat and poultry in its livestock, and I agree with that."

"Both comrades are very principled and cooperate well with the leadership of the county party committee, which makes me very gratified."

"After discussion with Comrade Chen Baolin, Comrade Ouyang Qingfeng, and myself, it has been decided that Comrade Feng Yingjie and Comrade Xiong Hai are both qualified to participate in the next bidding process."

"I hereby declare that the auction for Sunrise Ranch is now open."

"Comrade Feng Yingjie and Comrade Xiong Hai, please go to the platform and bid your prices in front of the people of the whole county."

"Whoever bids the highest will take over Xiangyang Ranch."

Instantly, the onlookers burst into applause.

Undoubtedly, the onlookers had been eagerly anticipating this scene, which was the most interesting part.

After all, the thought of two wealthy men bidding so fiercely for the ownership of the ranch is exciting and full of entertainment.

Feng Yingjie and Xiong Hai both arrived at the platform and stood facing each other, five meters apart.

"Xiong Hai, why don't you make the first bid?"

At this moment, Feng Yingjie actually yielded to her.

Xiong Hai didn't hesitate and replied with a smile, "Alright, since you want me to bid first, then I won't be polite."

"Thirty thousand!"

These words immediately drew screams from the onlookers.

After all, 10,000 yuan is practically the ceiling for ordinary people these days. But Xiong Hai asked for 30,000 yuan right off the bat, which completely shattered their expectations.

But the county head, Qin Zhiqing, frowned at the bid.

Qin Zhiqing clearly thought the price was too low.

Although Xiangyang Ranch is losing money, its large area is its most valuable asset.

Moreover, of the 30,000 yuan, half had to be handed over to the county finance department as a deposit, and the other half was to be used as operating capital for Xiangyang Ranch.

In other words, after paying employees' salaries and updating various tools, less than 15,000 yuan will be left after the 15,000 yuan is received by Xiangyang Ranch.

This 10,000 yuan is to be used to purchase various nutrients to feed the ewes so they can reproduce lambs, and also to ensure that the other goats are well-fed.

In less than three months, the 10,000 yuan will be gone.

In three months, given the current situation of Xiangyang Ranch, things will not improve at all, and it will eventually go bankrupt.

"You have a narrow perspective."

Upon hearing this bid, Feng Yingjie couldn't help but sneer.

Inwardly, Feng Yingjie was excited. He was convinced that Xiong Hai didn't have much money, which is why he quoted a price of 30,000.

Ouyang Fei gave Feng Yingjie 80,000 yuan, which was a price that Ouyang Fei had calculated to guarantee that Xiangyang Ranch would be profitable.

With 80,000 yuan in hand, Feng Yingjie is now full of confidence and is sure he can win over Xiangyang Ranch.

"I'm asking forty thousand!"

At this moment, Feng Yingjie raised his hand and shouted loudly.

Wow……

This once again drew screams from the onlookers, who stared at Feng Yingjie in disbelief.

This scene caught Feng Yingjie's eye, and a smile inexplicably curved his lips. He thoroughly enjoyed the thrill of being the center of attention.

At the same time, Feng Yingjie was also giving Xiong Hai a meaningful look, the meaning of which was, "Do you still dare to bid?"

County Magistrate Qin Zhiqing's expression softened slightly, and a hint of joy appeared on his face.

"fifty thousand!"

Xiong Hai raised his right hand, extending all five fingers, and shouted loudly.

At the same time, Xiong Hai gave Feng Yingjie a provocative look, as if to say, "Who do you think you are?"

County Magistrate Qin Zhiqing couldn't help but applaud.

This price is reasonable.

This money can help Xiangyang Ranch survive for at least another six months.

Feng Yingjie's body trembled, and a hint of surprise appeared on his face. He really hadn't expected Xiong Hai to ask for such a price.

Even Ouyang Fei, who was sitting on the platform, was surprised and sat up straight, disregarding the fact that one of his legs was not fully healed.

Clearly, Xiong Hai's asking price had exceeded Ouyang Fei's expectations.

At this moment, Feng Yingjie couldn't help but turn to look at Ouyang Fei.

This is to solicit opinions.

Ouyang Fei nodded.
