Carrying a Jurassic on me-Chapter 1274 - 627 The Problem with the Meat Processing Factory_2

This girl didn’t find her studies very important, and since her home had the internet, she frequently kept up with the news. She was particularly keen on anything related to Wagyu, and was quite familiar with mad cow disease.

Yan Fei had merely made a casual remark, but the girl instantly disagreed, prompting him to eagerly agree, "Alright, I’ll listen to you. When I get back, I’ll have them research some basic disease prevention. Oh, I haven’t found anyone yet!"

"You’re just realizing that?" Xu Xiaoyan laughed at him. "You don’t even have anyone, you might as well do the research yourself!"

"What’s wrong with doing it myself!" Yan Fei retorted proudly. "Give me a few days to study, and I’ll start doing the research myself!"

"Sure, keep bragging!" The girl had no idea about the hardships of Boss Yan’s laborers, who were all toiling away for him. "I’ve figured it out for you. In a few days, you should visit the Agricultural University. The seniors will start their internships next year, you might just get lucky and find a few."

At the mention of hiring, Yan Fei felt a bit gloomy: the more he knew about it, the less hopeful he became.

Though it’s claimed that universities no longer guarantee job placements, the demand for college graduates still exceeded supply, especially for research, where excellent students were required. Such students were highly sought after by companies, breaking almost into fights over them. And his rural cattle farm just couldn’t compete.

The girl didn’t offer any words of encouragement but picked up the newspaper she brought to pass the time during the journey and said, "Let’s not worry about that for now. There’s always a way when you get to the mountain. I’ll read the newspaper to you!"

The news wasn’t all dry. Especially when some news items were read together, they became particularly interesting.

For example, near Beihan, a small country across the strait, had recently seen a protest of a hundred thousand people against the "world police," America, for threats. Meanwhile, America was criticized in a magazine for causing massive starvation in Beihan due to insufficient food aid due to wrong decisions.

The reason for America’s insufficient aid was because South Korea opposed giving too much help to its adversarial neighboring nations. But just a few days ago in the newspapers, the leader of South Korea, while colluding with the leader from Japan, hypocritically stated that America should not press Beihan too hard on nuclear facility issues...

Another interesting tidbit in the news was from the Asian Games, where some banner girls from small countries fainted due to the heavy signs they were holding; reportedly, some were also fasting to maintain their figures...

Of course, not everything was interesting. For instance, the ongoing rivalry between the Euro and the dollar was just a noisy repeat of old arguments since the eve of the Euro’s launch.

And then there were topics like Swine Fever in Africa, AIDS in Russia... Basically, the world was bustling every day with all sorts of expected and unexpected events, but for most people, especially in a peaceful major country, these weren’t of much concern and were at most gossip during leisure.

"Hey, here’s some news. A lab in Japan just cloned eight cows!" The girl read until she came upon a topic she thought was of interest.

"Oh, really?" Yan Fei honked the horn to warn a bicyclist ahead, asking nonchalantly, "Which lab?"

"Why do you care which lab it was?" the girl muttered, but still checked and said, "Seems to be a lab in Osaka. It’s not detailed here; probably need to look up a science research magazine for more information."

"Hmm, hmm!" Yan Fei nodded. "Feeling sleepy? If you’re tired, lie down in the back. The ride isn’t comfortable, it’s quite exhausting."

"No worries! I’ll read something else to you..." The girl was having fun these past few days and was in high spirits!

On the surface, Yan Fei seemed careless, but inside, he was quite annoyed—why did this cloning news from Japan have to break just after he had made a deal with Director Pi, planning to relax at home for a few days? It was just so untimely!

If this news had come out two months earlier, he wouldn’t have had to deal so much with the trouble in Aipao City.

As he listened regretfully to the news the girl was reading, his phone rang. She quickly answered and held it close to Yan Fei’s ear, "Boss Yan, what are you busy with?"

"Driving. I’ve bought some experimental equipment, and I’m currently hauling it home," Yan Fei spoke while glancing at the caller ID. "Zhao Dami, what’s up?"

Zhao Dami, Secretary Jiao’s assistant Xiao Zhao, knew Yan Fei well enough to skip the pleasantries. Hearing Yan Fei’s question, he went straight to the point, "Here’s the thing, there was a meeting yesterday in the county about corporate restructuring and reform, aimed at the current state of our local enterprises, and some measures were proposed. One of them, I thought I should discuss with you..."

In Tanghe County, there were quite a few enterprises, but several that boasted of being "iron rice bowls" weren’t doing too well. Not to mention the Leading Steel Factory, which now survives on allocations, managing to pay its workers a mere ten or twenty yuan each month—if outsiders heard this, they would surely find it ludicrous, what could one do with merely ten to twenty yuan a month?
