Both of them were quite professional, so it was up to them to choose where they could best demonstrate their expertise.

Ling Zhenfei had made a call to Guo Shun in advance, asking him to wait at the gate. After arriving at Xishan Manor, he picked up Guo Shun and headed for West Second Village.

On the way, Ling Zhenfei and Guo Shun discussed their criteria for choice. First and foremost, they were to select the most geographically suitable land for development.

The second criterion was to choose a village that offered the best value for money.

Since they needed to use the land of other villages, it was a given they had to pay, thus price was an important criterion.

Since Xishan Manor was in a developing phase and did not have too much capital for investment, occupying large tracts of land would require a great deal of money.

This sum of money might appear trivial in the future, but at this stage, it was quite significant.

They drove to West Second Village, whose scale was about the same as Qinghe Village and was also a relatively undeveloped small mountain village, considered quite backward among the surrounding villages.

In the last two years, under Xu Dashan's leadership, West Second Village had undergone significant changes.

It must be said that Xu Dashan was indeed a capable man. He wanted to promote the development of the mountain village, but it was extremely difficult in such a small village.

Thus, after the development of Xishan Manor in Qinghe Village, it greatly impacted Xu Dashan, prompting him to collaborate with village heads from neighboring villages and seek out Ling Zhenfei.

Ling Zhenfei had helped them address some of the villagers' employment issues, but was still unable to fundamentally solve the backwardness of the village. Having the livestock industry set up factories this time could be seen as an opportunity for them.

The two quickly arrived at West Second Village, which was right next to Qinghe Village and very close to it, almost bordering Qinghe Village.

Upon reaching the village, Xu Dashan and several other village heads from neighboring villages were already waiting for Ling Zhenfei's arrival.

As soon as Ling Zhenfei got out of the car, he was warmly welcomed, and Xu Dashan led him and Guo Shun into the Village Committee building.

Inside the Village Committee, Xu Dashan served tea to the two of them, and all of the village heads sat down together.

"Brother Ling, how's it going? Could you tell us what the situation is now? I don't trust what Xu Dashan says," said a young man.

Ling Zhenfei laughed and said, "Actually, I've already explained it very clearly to Uncle Xu. It's quite simple; our Xishan Manor wants to find a place to develop the livestock industry.

We prefer a vast area covering the entire mountaintop. The small piece of land in Qinghe Village cannot satisfy our needs any longer, so naturally, we thought of the surrounding villages. Now that Qinghe Village has developed, we can't just ignore everyone else."

Upon hearing this, the village heads around them were very pleased, "That's great news! If possible, we will definitely support it extensively."

"Come to our Shahe Village. Our village's hillsides are gentle and quite suitable for livestock farming."

"I still think our West Second Village is more suitable. Our village's hillsides are not only gentle, but also forested, which is quite rare and suitable for breeding animals like wild pigs."

"Our village has hillsides and water sources, and with fewer people and more land, it's most suitable for large-scale breeding."

Suddenly, the village heads started arguing vigorously in front of Ling Zhenfei, causing some to have red faces and ears, looking very heated.

Ling Zhenfei hastily stopped the arguing among the people, saying, "Everyone, there's no need to argue anymore. Today, I have brought Guo Shun, the person in charge from Xue Pastoral Industry in our manor, to decide which village chiefs are suitable for livestock farming."

As soon as Ling Zhenfei finished speaking, everyone turned their gaze to Guo Shun, making him somewhat embarrassed as he said, "There's no need to argue. Whether it's suitable or not, let's wait until we have a look."

Xu Dashan said, "Since that's the case, let's not argue anymore. Everyone, please take Boss Ling to your respective villages to have a look. We can still argue later if needed."

"Alright, let's have a look then."

Ling Zhenfei and Guo Shun, along with others, went out, starting with West Second Village. It must be said that although West Second Village is very poor, the conditions are still quite good.

Being downstream from Qinghe Village, the water from Fairy Lake flows out to form a small river that meanders through West Second Village.

The terrain in West Second Village is much gentler compared to Qinghe Village. Although there are mountains, there are gentle slopes below, covered with trees and shrubs, which are quite nice.

Then, during that day, Ling Zhenfei continued to visit several other villages until nighttime when he had seen all the villages.

That evening, they gathered again in West Second Village, where Xu Dashan prepared a lavish banquet for Ling Zhenfei.

After several rounds of drinks and a variety of dishes, Xu Dashan spoke, "Boss Ling, you've seen them all day. What's the situation? Are any of our villages suitable?"

Ling Zhenfei looked at Guo Shun and said, "Manager Guo, please tell us, which villages do you think are suitable?"

Guo Shun took out his notebook and said, "After observing throughout the day, I've initially decided on three villages: West Second Village, Shahe Village, and Nan Wa Village."

These three villages all have water sources and very good gentle slopes, suitable for the development of livestock farming, but the specific choice of village has yet to be determined.

The village chiefs of Shahe Village, West Second Village, and Nan Wa Village mentioned by Guo Shun were all very happy.

Having heard his village was selected, Xu Dashan was even more excited. He asked Ling Zhenfei, "Boss Ling, what situation is this, which village are we choosing in the end?"

After listening, Ling Zhenfei laughed and said, "Uncle Xu, no need to hurry. All three villages can develop, but we can only choose one, so do the three of you village chiefs agree?"

"Need you ask? Of course, we agree," Xu Dashan was the first to indicate.

"Yes, we very much agree," the village party secretary of Shahe Village, Sha Dong, also stated his strong agreement.

"We agree too, very welcome to Xishan Manor to develop in Nan Wa Village."

The village party secretary of Nan Wa Village was quite special, a university-educated village officer named Zhao Ziming, who had already been in Nan Wa Village for several years. He was gentle and well-spoken.

Actually, Ling Zhenfei and Guo Shun had specifically selected these three villages; naturally, other villages were also suitable for the development of livestock farming.

Why choose three villages? It's easier to explain, avoids confusion, and these three villages are more proactive, which can achieve the greatest discount in subsequent bidding.

"Since all three villages wish for livestock farming, are you heads of the villages able to decide? Do your villagers agree?" Ling Zhenfei asked a very pragmatic question.

Because the business is livestock farming, not every villager wants their village to be turned into a big group of wild pigs. If the villagers oppose it, moving there would be like courting disaster.
