Chapter 154 The Expo Concludes, Su Chen Secures His Throne as the Shepherd King of White Fish Town

"The first Whitefish Town Ranch Expo was a complete success!"

George's voice was loud and carried throughout the square through the speakers.

"Seven ranches participated in this exhibition, along with thirty-two buyers, and the total value of signed orders exceeded four million US dollars!"

Applause erupted.

"Special thanks to Mr. Su Chen, owner of Sunset Ranch, for his tremendous efforts as the organizer of the exhibition."

"I hereby announce that Mr. Su Chen is awarded the honorary plaque of 'King of the White Fish Town'!"

George received a gold plaque from a staff member.

The words "White Fish Town Shepherd King" are engraved on it.

It is inlaid with gold patterns all around.

Su Chen went on stage and accepted the plaque.

He raised it so that everyone in the room could see it.

The applause was even louder than before, and the residents cheered loudly.

Some people called him "Su Chenniu," while others called him "Mu Wang."

Su Chen put down the plaque and said a few words into the microphone: "Thank you for the letter from my husband's family."

"I will continue to drive the development of the town, uphold quality, and live up to everyone's expectations."

After saying that, he nodded slightly and stepped off the stage.

George announced the closing of the exposition.

"Looking forward to holding it again next year!"

Exhibitors began dismantling their booths in an orderly manner.

Juan and Luis dismantle the booth.

The usable timber, steel pipes, and screws were sorted and recycled, then loaded onto pickup trucks.

Old Tom led the workers to load the cattle onto the truck one by one and transport them back to the ranch.

John transported the remaining tasting meat back to the cold chain center.

Put it in the refrigerator so that not a single piece of meat goes to waste.

Emma organized all the signed documents, orders, business cards, and cooperation intentions.

Put it in a document bag, label it, and put it in your backpack.

The cattle were inspected on their return journey.

Confirmed no stress response, normal body temperature, and stable breathing.

All the cattle are in good health and can be safely transported back.

Anderson offered to help dismantle the exhibition and moved things with Juan.

The two worked together seamlessly and were highly efficient.

"Mr. Su, this expo has broadened my horizons."

"I used to only know how to raise cattle, I didn't know the market outside was so big."

Su Chen said, "If we raise them well and improve their quality, we'll get more and more orders."

The ranchers from the alliance came over to say goodbye and thank Su Chen once again.

Old Hunter held Su Chen's hand, his eyes a little red.

"Mr. Su, I've been raising cattle for twenty years, and this is the first time I've received an order. Thank you."

Morris patted Su Chen on the shoulder.

"If the alliance needs anything in the future, just let me know."

The businesspeople left one after another, shaking hands with Su Chen to say goodbye.

Howard said he would like to visit the ranch when he has time.

The female restaurant owner said she looks forward to a long-term partnership.

The chubby purchasing manager said he would go back and promote it to the members.

Staff led a team to clean up the site and put the chairs away.

Bag the trash and sweep the ground clean.

The square was restored to its original cleanliness, as if nothing had happened.

Smith delivered the financial settlement report for the exhibition.

All prepayments for the orders have been received, totaling one million two hundred thousand US dollars.

Luke delivered a list of discounted agricultural supplies, which were purchased uniformly by the Alliance Ranch.

The cost is 18 percent lower than the market price.

Liya and Su Chen finalized the supermarket's product launch time and promotional plan.

Next Monday, Sunset Ranch beef will officially be available at the Whitefish Town Supermarket.

Set up a special counter to supply fifty pounds daily.

Black Fang followed the cattle back to the pasture.

He walked at the very front of the convoy, responsible for security.

Lingfeng circled one last time.

Only after confirming that there were no remaining issues in the square did they fly back to the ranch.

Su Chen brought the "White Fish Town Herdsman King" plaque back to the ranch.

It is hung in the most conspicuous position in the living room of the main house.

It's right opposite the entrance; you can see it as soon as you walk in.

The ranch team held a brief debriefing meeting.

Everyone sat in the living room, with Su Chen standing at the front.

"Everyone worked very hard at this expo."

"Each person will receive an extra month's salary as a bonus."

Juan and Luis exchanged a glance and grinned.

Old Tom lit a cigarette and took a deep drag.

Emma looked down and took notes in her notebook.

John leaned back on the sofa, legs crossed.

Ben pushed up his glasses.

Su Chen continued, "The expo is just the beginning; the real test will come from the orders that follow."

"The supply must not be interrupted, the quality must not be reduced, everyone must be on your guard."

"yes!"

Several people responded at the same time.

Su Chen gave each employee a bonus, in cash, which was put in an envelope.

Juan took the envelope, felt its thickness, and his eyes lit up.

Louis opened it briefly, glanced at it, and then quickly put it away.

Even after the townspeople returned home, they were still discussing the expo.

Someone posted photos in the family group chat.

Someone posted it on WeChat Moments.

Someone was bragging to his friends in a bar.

"Su Chen's cattle are the best in the whole town, there's no one to compare."

"Three gold awards, well-deserved."

"I tried his beef, and I'll never forget the taste."

Local media outlets worked through the night to prepare their headlines for tomorrow:

"The Shepherd King Su Chen Leads Baiyu Town Towards Glory".

Su Chen stood at the entrance of the main house, looking at the grassland in the distance.

Hei Feng squatted at his feet, Ling Feng landed on the roof, and Da Zhuang leaned against the wall of the cold chain area and dozed off.

The expo is over, the orders have been secured, and the Muwang plaque has been hung up.

The system panel flickered.

The Expo has successfully concluded.

The local power structure in the town is now completely consolidated.

In the distance, the lights in the town center square went out.

The night in Baiyu Town is very quiet.

That's when Leah Chen called.

Su Chen was in the livestock shed, checking on the cattle's feeding.

"Mr. Su, something seems off at the supermarket."

Leah's voice was very low, as if she was afraid of being overheard.

Su Chen straightened up and clapped his hands.

"explain."

"Since we opened this morning, the number of inquiries at the Sunset Beef counter has dropped by at least 60%."

"At this time before, at least a dozen people would ask about the price."

.

"There were only three or four people today, and they all just asked a few questions and left; no one placed an order."

Su Chen didn't speak, waiting for her to finish.

"Several regular customers who come to buy every week didn't even look at the counter when they passed by today."

"I took the initiative to greet them, and they hesitated and said they would think about it."

""

Leah paused for a moment.

"I've heard that there are rumors that there's something wrong with our beef."

Su Chen frowned.

"What's the problem?"

"It wasn't explained clearly; it just said things like 'it's unsafe' and 'it contains hormones.'"

"I haven't found out exactly where it came from."

"I understand. Keep the stores in stock as usual, don't withdraw them."

"I never planned to leave in the first place."

After Lia finished speaking, she hung up the phone.

Su Chen walked out of the livestock shed.

Black Fang ran over from the grassland, squatted down at his feet, and looked up at him.

He reached out and touched the wolf's head without saying a word.

The phone rang again.

This time it's John.

"Mr. Su, there's a problem at the store."

John's voice was even more urgent than Maria's.

"Several regular customers who usually order meat every week said they'd like to hold off for now."

"One of my regular customers asked me directly if the cow had been injected with hormones."

"What did you reply?"

"I said it's impossible. I slaughtered the cattle at Sunset Ranch myself, and I know the quality of the meat myself."

"But the customer was still hesitant and finally said he would wait a few days and see."

John paused.

"Not to mention new customers, not a single one has placed an order."

"Two people came into the store, looked around, and then left."

Su Chen asked, "Is there anything unusual around the store?"
