President Chen was quite pleased with Ling Zhenfei's words and said, "Now that I'm here, I definitely intend to make a big success of it. Do you want to take a gamble with me?"

"How so?" Ling Zhenfei found himself growing more fond of Chen Qian, enjoying his style of speaking and doing business.

"To do it, do it the best, do it the biggest, do it the most profitable," Chen Qian said with a serious face, a departure from his usual jovial demeanor.

"That's not so easy. Do you have a plan?" Though Ling Zhenfei certainly wanted to do the best and biggest, it was easier said than done.

Chen Qian said with a smile, "You have the capability in this area, I have the brains. As long as we cooperate, there's no doubt we'll succeed. Plus, I've already made the preliminary plans in the last few days, just waiting for you to join and make the final decisions."

"Let's hear it." Ling Zhenfei liked people who planned their actions.

Chen Qian pointed at the blueprint on the table and said, "Look, this area is Xishan Manor, and behind it is Xi Shan, which also belongs to us, extending to the vast Xianling Mountain. Although it's not ours, it's almost the same as ours."

"Look at this area to the south, all the way to Nanshan, that's also ours, and there's even such a big lake in the middle. Honestly, I'm quite impressed that you managed to secure such a large area," he continued.

Ling Zhenfei smiled slightly, "It's just coincidences."

Chen Qian continued, "Now our vegetables have made a name for themselves in Binyang. I've already researched it in Binyang. Over half of the high-end restaurants in Binyang use our Xishan Manor vegetables, and the price is many times higher than the same type of vegetables, yet there's still a shortage. That's our biggest advantage and our means of survival. So first, we need to focus on growing quality vegetables."

Chen Qian gestured outward and said, "That construction team outside, I hired them because the construction of the greenhouses is too slow. Relying on Li Ermeng and his team is just not enough, so we definitely need to expedite the process. My goal is simple, to dominate all of Binyang's high-end restaurants, making a name for ourselves so profoundly that these restaurants cannot survive the competition without using our vegetables."

This was similar to what Ling Zhenfei had thought before. He had always wanted to do this, but due to financial reasons, it had never been feasible. Now that he had Chen Qian's financial backing, he wanted him to realize it.

"Exactly right. I think so too, and we also need to focus on quality control to prevent them from mixing in other ordinary vegetables, which could affect the taste of our vegetables," said Ling Zhenfei.

Chen Qian said, "That's correct. I'll talk about that matter later. Right now, we're discussing the infrastructure of the manor. We'll talk about soft power later."

As he was talking, Chen Qian pointed again towards the Xi Shan behind Xishan Manor and said, "You've already planned out Xi Shan, and I've learned a bit about them. I'd like to hear your thoughts."

Ling Zhenfei set down his water glass and walked over to the table, saying, "I plan to raise poultry and edible game such as wild boar in this area. I don't know if Bai Lin has cooked a chicken for you from here, but Xishan Manor's poultry is not just about the vegetables being delicious, the poultry tastes several times better than that from other places."

"Oh, really? I didn't know that," Chen Qian was somewhat surprised, as he had initially thought Ling Zhenfei raised poultry just to make full use of Xishan Manor's land.

Ling Zhenfei took out his phone and called Bai Lin, who quickly picked up the phone.

"Master, hello. What can I do for you?"

Ling Zhenfei said, "Stop your chatter. Tonight, use our Xishan Manor-raised pheasant and stew a chicken for me to send over."

"Alright, Master, I wonder if you have time to teach me a few more new dishes. I've learned the ones from last time," Bai Lin said with a grin.

"Of course. How about you prepare some of the dishes you've mastered and send them to President Chen and me along with a few bottles of wine? Tonight I want to have a drink with President Chen if the dishes you make are up to standard, I'll teach you new ones."

"Yes, Master!"

After giving his instructions, Ling Zhenfei said to Chen Qian, "Alright, tonight you'll get to taste the poultry from Xishan Manor and see how it tastes. You might come up with some new ideas by then."

Chen Qian's face was full of surprise as he asked in a low voice, "Boss Ling, I'm very curious, can you reveal the secret behind why the dishes and the meat from Xishan Manor are so delicious?"

Upon hearing Chen Qian's question, Ling Zhenfei was momentarily startled. The reason their dishes were delicious was due to the Spirit Spring Water from the Xuantian Spirit Spring Pot, which was fundamental to Xishan Manor. If he told Chen Qian, then Chen Qian would know everything.

"I have nothing to hide from you, but you must keep it a secret. This is the foundation of Xishan Manor's success," Ling Zhenfei ultimately decided to tell Chen Qian, wanting no secrets between them, as that wouldn't be good for collaboration.

"Don't worry, I understand what's more and what's less important; I was just a bit curious," Chen Qian said solemnly.

Ling Zhenfei slightly lowered his voice and said, "The reason our vegetables at Xishan Manor are unlike those from other places isn't due to the way they're planted but because of the water we use. This water contains infinite spiritual power. Vegetables grown from seeds soaked in Spirit Spring Water don't get pests, grow faster, and taste better, not to mention that we usually water these vegetables with Spirit Spring Water, which makes them taste many times better."

Chen Qian's face was full of shock, then he asked, "So, the wild boar and wild chicken taste so good because they too drank Spirit Spring Water?"

Chen Qian was too clever, easily grasping things immediately, so there was no need for Ling Zhenfei to elaborate much.

Ling Zhenfei nodded and said, "Exactly right, this secret is only known to you, and many long-time employees of the manor aren't aware of it."

Chen Qian nodded thoughtfully and said, "Since merely using Spirit Spring Water can make the chicken taste so good, if we raise some fish in the Spirit Spring Water, then those fish..."

Upon hearing this, Ling Zhenfei was stunned; how had he not thought of raising fish in the Spirit Spring Water before? If fish were raised in Spirit Spring Water, consuming it from a young age and being immersed in it all the time, then the fish's meat would taste explosively good.

It must be said, Chen Qian was indeed clever, having easily thought of such a good business opportunity, truly impressive.

"Alright, we can talk about this matter later. It's good that you know the reason now. I believe you've got even more ideas after hearing what I said," Ling Zhenfei continued.

He then pointed to the large mountain behind Xishan Manor and said, "This area is Xi Shan. I think you are aware of my plans, as I've discussed them with Sister Li Ru and others. We aim to develop tourism in the mountain, opening a leisure inn but we must consider environmental protection."

With a notebook in hand, Chen Qian made notes and then said, "Didn't you also mention something about medicinal herbs?"

Ling Zhenfei was once again amazed in his heart. Chen Qian was incredible; after coming to Xishan Manor, he must have done his research, even talking to Zhang Duo to find out about the medicinal herbs.
