From Wage Slave to Tycoon

Chapter 127: Chapter 103: All Is Ready Except for the East Wind

"Calm down," Su Chen interrupted before she could finish. "Have you considered something?"

"What is it?" Zong Xinyao calmed down, sensing there was more to the story.

"You say the price is cheap, but why are they so rarely sold elsewhere? You have to remember, Wuzhumuqin sheep have been featured in *National Geographic*. Why would something so famous be confined to Xilinguole League? Have you ever wondered why?"

"Surely there are other smart people out there. You think no one else has spotted this business opportunity in all these years?"

Su Chen’s words were like a bucket of cold water dumped on Zong Xinyao’s head, extinguishing her earlier excitement.

Zong Xinyao thought for a moment. Combining his words with the information she’d gathered online, she quickly reached a conclusion: someone had already seen the potential profits and was already holding them firmly in their grasp.

"Boss, are you talking about the wholesalers and middlemen?"

Su Chen nodded, then shook his head.

"It’s more than just them. There are also all the livestock companies, big and small. Together, they form a massive net that has the entire prairie sheep market trapped. Even if a few slip through the net, they’re just small fry."

"We’re going to face pressure from all sides in the future. I need you to find the right person to lead our livestock company."

As long as Ziggy could integrate the twenty-five pastures he’d mentioned, Su Chen would be able to gain a firm foothold on the great prairie and plan his next moves at a more leisurely pace.

"Boss, rest assured. I won’t let you down!" Zong Xinyao declared confidently.

Su Chen gave a slight nod. With her enthusiasm, they could achieve twice the results with half the effort.

"Tomorrow, have the people you brought spread out and start gathering market intelligence. Also, get in touch with Ziggy. It would be best if you made a trip to Dongwu Banner to work with them and finalize the integration."

After saying that, Su Chen remembered that Zong Xinyao didn’t actually know Ziggy. He turned to Jiang Hui, who was standing nearby. "Old Jiang, go get Xiao Peng."

Jiang Hui quickly returned with Xiao Peng.

"Xinyao, this is Xiao Peng. He’ll be with you for the time being. He’s friends with Ziggy’s son, Ji Wan, so if any issues come up, he’ll be your point of contact."

Then he turned to Xiao Peng. "I know you’re a sharp kid. Consider this a test. Don’t let me down. And one more thing—protect Zong Xinyao. If anything happens to her, you’ll have me to answer to."

Xiao Peng’s expression was thrilled. He straightened up, his body tense with excitement. "Sir, you can count on me! I guarantee I’ll complete the mission!"

Su Chen nodded and gestured for Xiao Peng to leave, as he and Zong Xinyao hadn’t finished their conversation.

"Boss, about the livestock company... should we register it in Xilinhot or in Dongwu Banner?"

"Dongwu Banner. It’s going to be the foundation of our future development. Setting up the company there will also give the local herdsmen some confidence. When you register the company, try your best to get support from the relevant local authorities. If necessary, you can use Yunmengze Capital as a foot in the door."

"Boss, I understand. I know the ropes when it comes to this," Zong Xinyao said, understanding the intricacies involved.

’After all, Yunmengze is operating under the guise of Xiangjiang Investment Company. An investment in Dongwu Banner of tens, or even hundreds, of millions... how could an operation of that scale not receive local support?’

Su Chen glanced at the time—it was almost eight in the evening. He stood up and said, "It’s getting late. Let’s go get something to eat. I’ll let you taste for yourself just how delicious Wuzhumuqin lamb can be."

"Then it’ll be your treat, Boss!"
