He managed to get good education, including a graduation from Malaysia, despite the difficulties. He has developed a *fair* amount of business that includes a boat yard and a car rental service. He says that 300 people work under him.
(Another question: what is it meant by yard in "boat yard" in the sentence above?) Thanks,

I would interpret 'fair' in this context to mean 'a reasonable amount', but that the business not necessarily doing wonderfully well. Yard in this context means an open area, although a boat yard will have sheds etc. on it and is used for repairing and maybe constructing boats.

Fair means a good quantity "much". A boatyard is a business that stores and/or repairs boats.
