Chapter 1927: Chapter 909: Journey to Australia (Part 2)
Scary!
Those guys are driving an aircraft carrier, and eventually they can find land. But if it’s a small yacht going over there, who knows how many creatures bigger than their yacht exist in the dinosaur age? Maybe the yacht will end up right in the belly of a monster!
Even now, there are giant creatures like blue whales in the sea. Who can say for sure if there were creatures larger than blue whales in the monster-dominated era?
If their ship was slightly bigger, maybe they’d have a chance of survival, but with their small yacht, they really have no chance at all.
Just thinking about it, everyone feels that going out carries too much risk. Staying home honestly seems better—after all, mysterious events have never occurred on the mainland of China.
For Yan Fei, it’s good that his business partners have settled down with this result.
The Fifth Young Master Guo, who also went along, is quite well-behaved and is helping Yan Fei keep an eye out for ranch information.
The reason Yan Fei has officially added the ranch purchase to his schedule is because of the news The Fifth Young Master Guo has already sent him.
In Australia, there are quite a few ranches, so it’s not too hard to find one to transfer. However, Yan Fei doesn’t know the market situation, so he plans to investigate first.
For the next two days, Yan Fei stayed at home to continue arranging the next steps for the laboratory and walked around the school campus to prove that he was still a student. When Chen Yingjun called to say the visa was ready, he stayed at home waiting for Chen Yingjun to come over so they could depart for Australia together.
Classmate Xiaochen wants to immigrate!
It’s not because Yan Fei wants to buy a ranch but because he somehow got this idea himself at some point.
Yan Fei guessed that he might be a little scared, fearing someone might hold him accountable for past actions. Although things have calmed down now, he remains quite worried.
Despite being young and his career being on the rise, he developed the idea of retiring from the jianghu.
Yan Fei couldn’t say much. It’s someone else’s business, and he can only watch. What else could he do?
Currently, Classmate Xiaochen definitely doesn’t plan on giving up the restaurant business. Making a fortune daily, he’s reluctant to just leave it be. It’s just about changing identities—actually, by changing his identity, there are some favorable policies for restaurant operations.
Yan Fei has nothing to say about this either. In the current climate, the status of foreign and private businesses is worlds apart. If it’s private, its status is indeed a bit low at present. Compared to golden job enterprises, they are like beggars.
But as a foreign enterprise, it gets more preferential treatment than the golden job enterprises, and there’s nothing to be done about it.
Just as Yan Fei is preparing to look at the ranch, the two quickly reached an agreement to go check it out together.
Chen Yingjun came alone, and Yan Fei did not plan to bring too many people, just ready to go with his wife. After the three of them met up, they embarked on a flight to Australia, starting a long journey.
The Fifth Young Master Guo connected Yan Fei with a compatriot who has been in Australia for more than a decade and is said to have a good relationship with his family.
They arrived in Australia in the afternoon. When Yan Fei and the other two walked out of Brisbane airport, they met the acquaintance The Fifth Young Master Guo helped contact—a guy with a funny name, Wei Dabao.
Wei Dabao is in his forties and was originally born and raised on the mainland of China. Some years ago, he spent some time working in Hong Kong, and something seemed to happen in between. Then he came to Australia and started a restaurant business.
Having known that Yan Fei and the others were coming from Mainland China, he drove a small van to pick them up, showing considerable enthusiasm, with a feeling akin to seeing fellow countrymen.
“Let’s go home first, have a cup of tea and relax, then discuss where to look at the ranch.” From the moment he saw the three, Wei Dabao kept talking nonstop. His accent still carried a trace of his hometown’s flavor, but everyone understood.
“Our home country has really developed well these years. Many people have come here from the mainland. After visiting the ranch, if you’re interested, you can look around the Chinese expatriate community here to learn more about the situation.”
“Haven’t been back for years, and I probably won’t return. Nowadays, I rely on those coming over here to inquire about home, and I’ve met quite a few fellow countrymen. If you’re interested, I can always arrange a small get-together or something.”
“It’s not far from Sydney City here. Once the business is settled, if you still have time, you can visit the Sydney Opera House, and further along is the capital of Australia. You can check it out too, with quite nice scenery and a line of coastal cities.”
About the scenery, they say it’s nice, but it’s pretty much the same, all coastal cities blown by sea breezes year-round.
Yan Fei is used to this and can’t see what’s so great about it, but Chen Yingjun thinks it’s nice: “Really nice, feels clean everywhere. The air is quite fresh…it’s not that I’m idolizing the West, don’t get me wrong. You all know where I’m from; the situation is a bit special.”
Everyone in the car laughed, and not just arriving at a coastal city, even when he got to the Sancha River, Chen Yingjun felt this way—his hometown city came up in the coal industry, and no matter how much they protect the environment, it can’t compare to coastal cities with sea breezes blowing every day.
Many Chinese people, when talking about Australia, probably only know of Sydney and the capital. Well, there used to be an old capital here that still has some fame. But when visiting here, the first choice is the Opera House since it’s more famous. As for what else to see, they wouldn’t know.
Right upon leaving the airport, it’s not far before you can see sheep grazing.
Driving the car doesn’t stop Wei Dabao from being a tour guide: “This place is sparsely populated, and those over there herding sheep are the ranches. Over here, those growing crops are farms. Honestly, there’s not much difference from back home, except there are more white people. Most people here are quite friendly, just some mischievous young brats. But don’t worry, they’re just small issues.”
“It’s legal to own guns here. If you guys plan to develop here, you might consider buying some for backup. Don’t worry, the law enforcement isn’t that lax, but being a capitalist nation, it’s not comparable to back home. Sheriffs don’t tend to handle things, and many are unreliable.”
“The main thing is the sparse population. The ranch you want to see is in a sparsely populated area, so you must have weapons. Many poisonous things are also in the wild here, which you’ll discover when you arrive…”
“The city architecture here was originally more Western in style, but now skyscrapers are going up so fast that no style is very obvious!”
Wei Dabao’s business isn’t as large as some might think, just a few small restaurants.
Yet life is quite good, and upon entering the house, they saw his four kids.
The house is quite large. Wei Dabao’s wife is from Hong Kong and is currently out busy with something. Three children are at home on the weekend, and the youngest has not started school yet—the oldest is already sixteen, while the youngest is just four.
The little ones had turned the house upside down, leaving Wei Dabao slightly embarrassed: “Busy usually, they get a bit wild!”
While talking, he also hurriedly called the little ones to tidy up and entertain the guests.
But Chen Yingjun was envious: “Wei Brother, you’re really blessed. Back home, it’s still having only one child is preferred, whereas here you can have as many as you want.”
“There are fewer people here!” Wei Dabao laughed. “Business can only happen in city circles, unlike back home where any school entrance can support dozens of restaurants. And as for having kids, there’s no restriction, as long as you’re willing, have as many as you want.”
“That’s true, the population here is just that small.” Chen Yingjun greeted Wei Dabao’s youngest daughter, nodding. “When I come over, I’ll have kids as much as I want, as many as I can. Brother Fei, have you considered this?”
Yan Fei rolled his eyes: “Let’s talk about it after I get married.”
Xu Xiaoyan bowed her head in silence, her eyes flickering, and it’s unclear what she was thinking.
With a smile, Wei Dabao made tea for the three of them: “Getting married is simple here, aren’t you two almost ready?”
“Almost, almost!” Yan Fei purposely didn’t mention that he’s still under the legal age for marriage, glancing at his wife while speaking, noticing her shyness mixed with a little anticipation.
So he asked: “How old can people get married here?”
Xu Xiaoyan’s face instantly turned red, and even the hand holding the teacup turned slightly pale.
