As he said this, Chen Yifei smiled and said, "You're welcome to come and see it. You can learn a lot from it."

Zhao Shi smiled and said, "The piglets here are all raised very well. They are all fat and strong. I can't speak for the others, but these are something we are very proud of. Every place has its own characteristics. You've taken a liking to our place because you want to bring in new things, right?"

As he said this, Chen Yifei smiled and said, "You're welcome to come and see it. You can learn a lot from it."

"Anyway, we're always here."

They toured the area as they walked.

Zhao Shi said to Chen Yifei, "I can't say for sure about the others, but they are all rich. You know my Xiangjiang company is just an empty shell. It's all foreign capital that's been brought in. They said they'd spend at least ten million to develop this project in our county."

Speaking of which, Chen Yifei said, "With so much money, have they agreed on what they're going to invest in? Are they sure it's all rice?"

If it's all rice, it wouldn't cost that much; foreigners aren't stupid.

Moreover, Chen Yifei had a deep impression of South Koreans, with the stereotype that they liked to take advantage of others and that everything belonged to them.

So... it's probably not that simple.

As they walked and talked, Zhao Shi noticed that Chen Yifei remained silent and found it strange: "What's wrong? Do you think it's unreliable?"

“Let me tell you, you and I are like brothers. We’re the most reliable people I know, that’s why I’m introducing you to us.”

"Hmm. I don't think there's anything wrong with it," Chen Yifei said. "It's just that we need to ask them more carefully about what kind of business they're in. There are too many investments like rice farming. I still don't think anyone is a fool."

Zhao Shi also felt that this made sense.

Their interactions with foreign countries in Hong Kong inevitably involve dealing with some gray areas, so they often feel the challenges, despite language barriers and cultural differences.

However, those who want to make money and start companies are all driven by profit; no one in their right mind is a fool.

After saying that, he paused for a moment and said, "Then I'll think about it some more."

"We'll ask them properly today. When we get to your house tonight, we'll have your wife cook a nice meal, get them drunk first, and then they'll know what to eat."

After saying this, Chen Yifei nodded: "That makes sense."

"We can continue now."

Walking deep into the mountains and forests, everyone was a little worried. Zhao Shi said, "This is where they picked mushrooms before. It looks a bit scary, and the forest is quite deep."

"But you don't need to worry, it's all very safe. If you have other businesses, you can also cooperate with us."

After saying this, Chen Yifei nodded: "Yes, you can ask me anything you don't understand. No one knows these mountains and forests better than me."

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Park Hae looked at Chen Yifei with great curiosity and said, "Comrade Chen, I'd like to know what these very tall aunts are; I've never seen them before!"

"This is called Southwest Birch, and the taller one next to it is Yunnan Pine. I'm afraid these are the two most common types of trees here. There's also a Wa ethnic village nearby, where they make drums from these trees. They're very sturdy, durable, and produce a very good sound."

Chen Yifei kept a close eye on their expressions as he spoke.

At that moment, he noticed many differences and felt something was very wrong.

For example, they're all looking at him like this now. They look serious, but they're actually getting excited. In other words, their expressions don't seem like they've just met this tree.

Who knows, maybe they came for the trees?

Not only did Chen Yifei discover it, but Zhao Shi also discovered it.

He said to Park Hae, "Many of us use this place to cut things into pieces we like to make furniture and such. The carpenters are very skilled. I'll make you a set sometime."

"No, no, I can't possibly buy something this precious! This is wonderful, we all think it's excellent. This place truly is a gift from nature!"

Although it was just a few polite words, Chen Yifei noticed something amiss. He looked at Park Hae and said with a half-smile, "Chairman Park Hae, have you seen these two kinds of trees before? How are they where you are?"

"I've never seen it before. Didn't you say it was your specialty?" Biao continued to play dumb at this point.

If Chen Yifei only had suspicions before, now he can be certain.

Park Hae was secretly pleased, and even thought these Chinese people were really stupid.

Such good stuff, and you actually want to treat him...

Chairman Park Hae smiled and said, "These trees are growing very well. When we build our factory, we'll probably have to take over all of this land."

"Renting the place allows me to look at all these trees, which puts me in a good mood. It's all green, from nature!"

"With mountains and water here, we all think about working here long-term."

Park Hae said to Zhao Shi, "Why don't you extend the cooperation with your company for ten or twenty years? We'll handle everything, and then we'll pay tens of millions."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Shi became even more excited.

Looking at Chen Yifei, he quickly said, "We're really going to make a fortune."

"Having been a Hong Kong businessman with a listed company for so long, I have never encountered anyone with such a large-scale investment."

Chen Yifei said, "Talking about so much money now doesn't mean we have to take it out now. In eight or ten years, they will be able to earn that much from their own profits."

"I don't really agree with cooperating with them."
