Upon hearing what the old ox said, Li Qing's heart stirred.

He was genuinely tempted by what Lao Niu had just said, especially since he had recently been in debt. After all, being in debt is a terrible feeling, and only those who have been in debt know the truth.

"What happened? Old Niu, you better tell me properly!"

Li Qing immediately asked Lao Niu, now that he was truly interested.

Old Niu, however, was no longer flustered. Instead, he calmly picked up the tea in front of him and took a sip.

Seeing Lao Niu's pretentious manner in front of him, Li Qing wasn't angry. After all, business isn't something to rush into; the worst thing in business is to be impatient.

The two of them are now locked in a fierce battle, neither of them speaking first.

The two remained silent for more than ten minutes until the jasmine tea had almost lost its flavor, at which point Old Niu finally spoke up.

"Alright, alright, Brother Qing, you're really good at keeping your composure! I admit defeat, you win!"

"A man is a boy until he dies"—this saying is no joke. Just like what Lao Niu said now, "You're something else," it made Li Qing unable to hide his smile.

This is the highest honor among men; to hear another man say these four words is no easy feat.

Accompanied by Li Qing's faint laughter, Lao Niu finally spoke up and got down to business with Li Qing.

"Here's the thing, there's a guy named Liu Heng who rides motorcycles in Jinan."

They represent several brands of motorcycles, and their dealership is quite large.

His car dealership business hasn't been doing well lately, so he's thinking of making some quick money to ease his financial pressure.

The last time I went to deliver parts to him, we talked about this when we sat down for drinks that night.

As you know, in a group of three, there's bound to be one who comes up with the best ideas. Someone gave Liu Heng a suggestion that could make him a quick and easy way to make some money.

The idea is to have him organize a batch of off-road vehicles and adventure cars here, and drive them to Qinghai directly to the pastoral areas.

We traveled to pastoral areas in several provinces on the plateau and delivered the motorcycles directly to the herders' homes.

Herdsmen may not have much cash on hand, but they have livestock, whether it's sheep or yaks.

Basically, it's about trading live animals for motorcycles, then transporting them back to sell. There are so many people in Shandong, we can handle it all.

Li Qing listened quietly to Lao Niu's story, constantly pondering the feasibility of the matter.

After Lao Niu finished speaking, he didn't say anything more. He just brewed another pot of tea and didn't disturb Li Qing's thinking at all.

Li Qing didn't know much about the pastoral areas on the plateau and always felt that things were a bit unreliable.

That's why people often say that you can never earn money beyond what you know.

This matter is something beyond Li Qing's comprehension.

After thinking for a long time, Li Qing finally spoke up again and asked Lao Niu for more information.

"I understand what's going on, but there are still some things I need to ask you about."

First, can you confirm whether there is a demand for motorcycles on the plateau in the far west?

"We've shipped Motorcycles over there, but nobody's buying them!"

"I'm certain that as long as Motorola delivers it, I can definitely make a move." As soon as Li Qing finished asking the question, Lao Niu patted his chest and assured him.

Upon hearing Lao Niu's assurance, Li Qing remained silent, merely looking at him and gesturing for him to continue.

"Last time, Liu Heng and I went on a motorcycle trip to Tibet. We didn't just travel on the highway; we went on several rounds of driving with the herdsmen on the Qilian Mountain grasslands."

In those pastoral areas, the herders are not poor; in fact, they are quite wealthy.

However, living in a sparsely populated area, there's nothing that can be done; supplies can't be delivered there.

Not to mention motorcycles, which are considered large items, Liu Heng's plan is to deliver them directly to his door.

"As long as our products are good, the herders will definitely buy the trucks we deliver."

After listening to Lao Niu's introduction, Li Qing felt that it seemed somewhat reliable.

At this point, he had already made up his mind that what Lao Niu had said was feasible.

But he still had some questions that hadn't been answered. Since he had already asked, he might as well get to the bottom of it.

"Okay, the sales issue is resolved. I still have one problem: what do we do with the live animals we got in return?"

Old Niu didn't answer his question. Instead, he calmly took out his phone under Li Qing's gaze.

Without saying a word, Lao Niu picked up his phone and dialed the number, even turning on speakerphone.

"Hey, Brother Liu, this is Lao Niu."

How are your preparations going regarding that matter we discussed last time?

Another point is, if they actually bring the live animals back, is there a way to exchange them for money?

Just as Lao Niu finished asking his question over the phone, Li Qing heard a somewhat rough reply from the phone.

"I've almost finished preparing on my side. The transport vehicle has been arranged, and the driver is a brother I usually hang out with."

I've already contacted the state-owned meat processing plant about bringing the live animals back.

As long as it can be transported back from the plateau, they can accept it; whether it's cattle or sheep, they can eat it all.

They also said that it would be best to bring back only yaks!

Hearing the reply from his phone, Li Qing felt even more confident; it seemed this business deal could really be done.

"Great, Brother Liu, that's wonderful!" Old Niu said happily.

"Don't say that yet, I still have things to take care of!"

Upon hearing this, Li Qing perked up. He genuinely hoped the deal would go through and that nothing unexpected would happen.

Old Niu was also a little nervous and quickly asked.

"What's wrong? What hasn't been resolved? From what you just said, the preparations should be almost complete!"

"The preparations are almost complete, but I feel like I haven't organized enough vehicles."

It's not that I don't own cars, but good-condition used cars are really rare.

The motorcycles I found were all from companies I knew well; I had no intention of shipping any motorcycles to that area without proper authorization.

"Furthermore, I can't ship new cars over there. You know, no matter what brand a new car is, it can't be transferred across regions."

When Lao Niu heard what the other party said, he finally felt relieved.

Old Niu, who breathed a slight sigh of relief, quickly spoke to Liu Heng on the other end of the phone.

"Hey, you really startled me. I thought something serious had happened."

Oh, it was about secondhand goods! That's easy to solve!

As Lao Niu spoke, he kept raising his eyebrows and winking at Li Qing.

"Easy to solve? You have a solution? Tell me quickly, what's your method!"

Old Niu picked up the phone in front of him and pushed it toward Li Qing.

"Brother Qing, why don't you just talk to Brother Liu directly? That would save me the trouble of relaying the message!"

After Lao Niu finished speaking to Li Qing, he added another sentence into his phone.

"Brother Liu, I've found some used cars. The owners are right in front of me. You two can talk to them directly!"

Li Qing didn't stand on ceremony. Since he wanted to do this business, he should be more proactive and humble.

"Hello Brother Liu, my name is Li Qing, and I happen to have nearly thirty suitable vehicles on hand."
