Yeyuan suppressed his displeasure and asked, "Someone reported that my feed advertisement is false, so it's false?"
Before the manager could speak, a man in a suit in the crowd shouted,
"Your materials say that premium feed can double the growth rate of fish. Do I need to explain this? We've never even heard of such a thing, and you dare to advertise it like this? Do you really think we're so gullible?"
Li Hui, seeing this person, leaned close to Yeyuan and whispered,
"This person is from the booth next to ours, also selling feed."
Yeyuan looked at the security guard.

"Is this the person who reported us?"
The security guard did not answer, which was a tacit acknowledgment.
Yeyuan then looked at the female manager.
"If there's nothing wrong with my feed or my advertisement, how will you handle this?"
The female manager, seeing Yeyuan's attitude, was a bit hesitant.
However, the man in the suit stepped forward and said to the people around, "Our company has been established for ten years, and our feed is exported to many countries. The effects they claim, not to mention domestically, haven't even been heard of abroad."
The people around nodded, not because they all believed the man in the suit, but because Yeyuan's feed's effects were truly too incredible to believe.
Yeyuan ignored the people around him and just looked at the manager.
The female manager was a bit at a loss. After all, the advertisement had a local inspection report, but if they just let it go, it would be hard to explain the security guard's actions to Yeyuan.
Just as she was in a dilemma, an elderly man walked over.
The manager, seeing the elderly man, smiled and said, "Old Mr. Wang, why are you here?"
The elderly man did not respond to the manager but spoke to Yeyuan, "I am the consultant for this trade fair. I can make many decisions. If your feed really has the effects you claim, I can guarantee that all your fees for this trade fair will be waived, and all the parties involved will apologize to you. Do you think this solution is acceptable?"
Yeyuan saw that the elderly man had a high status and did not want to make a big fuss.
"No problem."
Yeyuan readily agreed to the terms.
The next steps were simple. The trade fair had various testing equipment, a measure taken to handle new products.
The results were quickly delivered to the elderly man. After looking at the report, he raised his eyebrows and turned to the security guard and the female manager, saying,
"Apologize. This time, you were wrong. You made a hasty judgment without verifying the results."
The security guard was fine, just apologizing, which was acceptable as long as his salary wasn't docked. However, the female manager was a bit reluctant, but when she saw the elderly man's expression, she obediently apologized.
After doing this, the elderly man smiled at Yeyuan and said, "Young man, you're impressive. To develop such feed really brings glory to our country. Do you need me to introduce you to some large fish farms?"
Yeyuan shook his head, "Thank you for your kindness, but I believe many people will buy this feed."
Yeyuan confidently answered the elderly man.
The elderly man smiled and said nothing, then turned and left.
The man in the suit, who had been embarrassed, now approached, "Brother, I didn't mean anything by it. This is my fault. I'll treat you to dinner tonight to make up for it."
Yeyuan glanced at him but did not agree to his request. Instead, he directly asked,
"Is there something you need?"
"Actually, it's nothing major. Have you thought about exporting this feed? Our company specializes in exports. I can guarantee a good price for you..."
Before the man in the suit could finish, Yeyuan directly replied,
"Not interested."
Then he walked back to his booth and ignored him.
The man in the suit saw that Yeyuan did not like him, after all, he had been too overbearing before. He awkwardly returned to his own booth.
Yeyuan didn't care about the man in the suit's feelings. Now, his booth was surrounded by people.
Yeyuan hadn't expected so many people to be interested in his feed.
Most of these people were there to inquire, and a few wanted to seek cooperation, but the conditions they proposed were mostly a pay-after-delivery model.
In other words, they hoped Yeyuan would first provide a batch of feed for them to test in their fish farms. They would only pay after the test results proved that the feed could indeed accelerate fish growth.
This wasn't entirely unreasonable. After all, there was no such new feed on the market, and everyone was skeptical. Although the test results were good, who could guarantee that it would work as well in practice? After all, there were still many commercial scams in this era.
Yeyuan, of course, would not agree to their demands. At this moment, a weak voice asked, "Do you plan to find a distributor for your product?"
Yeyuan turned to look in the direction of the voice.
The speaker was a young man.
The young man looked at Yeyuan nervously.
Yeyuan also noticed this young man. He was very young, probably around eighteen or nineteen, wearing a pair of jeans that were already a bit faded, and his face was thin, not naturally so, but more like he was malnourished.
Seeing Yeyuan look at him, the young man clenched his fists and introduced himself,
"Hello, my name is Chen Ziming. I really want to be your feed distributor."
He then added nervously, "But I don't have the capital right now. I hope you can give me a year to raise the money. During this time, please don't talk to others about the distributorship, okay?"
The young man looked at Yeyuan nervously.
If it were anyone else, they would think this young man was crazy.
He had no money but came to talk about a distributorship. Even more outrageous, he asked Yeyuan not to sell the distributorship for a year.
However, Yeyuan inexplicably felt a sense of familiarity with this young man. It was a subtle feeling, hard to describe.
After hesitating for a moment, he said, "I don't plan to sell the distributorship, but I won't refuse to sell my feed to anyone.
Regarding the distributorship, I haven't decided yet. I don't think I'll sell the distributorship in the short term."
"Even if you have the money, I might not give you the distributorship."
Yeyuan smiled and looked at the young man.
Hearing Yeyuan's words, the young man showed confidence,
"I believe that when the time comes, I will convince you to give me the distributorship."
Yeyuan didn't expect the young man to be so confident and jokingly said,
"Alright, I look forward to seeing how you will convince me."
The young man left Yeyuan's phone number and then turned and left.
...
Li Hui had already received several orders, but most were for a few bags. Yeyuan understood these people's concerns.
No one dared to buy a large quantity of a product that only had a report and no practical experience.
Buying a few bags to test on some fish was understandable.
Yeyuan believed that once these people tested it, the sales of his feed would surge.
