After making up his mind, Lin Xi greeted Gao Chengxiang and Ni Lingwei, then turned and walked towards Zhao Guangcai and the others.

Although Lin Xi was full of smiles, his action of walking straight over still aroused the vigilance of Hu Ju, Zhao Guangcai and others.

Without waiting for others to ask, Lin Xi turned to Zhao Guangcai and asked, "Excuse me, are you the king of melon seeds, Mr. Zhao Guangcai?"

After hearing Lin Xi's words, all the people at the scene were taken aback, including Zhao Guangcai himself, but he quickly came back to his senses with the shrewd mind of a businessman.

Zhao Guangcai looked at Lin Xi and nodded slightly, and then said, "Little friend, I don't know if you are looking for me. I am Zhao Guangcai from Anwanwucheng. I am in the melon seed business, but I am not the melon seed king you said."

Lin Xi was taken aback when he heard this, but then he came back to his senses. At this time, the great man's speech was still in progress, and Zhao Guangcai's reputation as the King of Melon Seeds had not yet spread. Unexpectedly, he would lead him inadvertently. Once the trend of the times.

Lin Xi looked at Zhao Guangcai and smiled, and then said: "Mr. Zhao, that is you. I have heard family members talk about your deeds. What you have done is definitely worthy of the title of King of Melon Seeds."

Lin Xi, who has been a man for two generations, knows very well that flattery does not wear clothes, especially in such a large crowd, Zhao Guangcai will definitely feel that he has a face.

The reason why Lin Xi did this was to let Zhao Guangcai relax his vigilance. He wanted to tell Zhao Guangcai the reason for building a branch in Qingyuan from the other party.

Just as Lin Xi guessed, after hearing this, Zhao Guangcai was very happy.Standing beside him was Hu Ju, who was a junior high school classmate with him. Although the other party was the leader of the bureau, he couldn't match him in the limelight at this time. Zhao Guangcai felt that the big boy in front of him appeared so timely.

"Young man, the accent you speak doesn't seem to be from Xucheng. You can't be from Anhui Province?" Zhao Guangcai was very happy and asked casually.

"Boss Zhao, I'm from Qingyuan, Huaijiang, not from Anwan." Lin Xi replied, looking directly at Zhao Guangcai.

The reason why Lin Xi looked at each other like this was to see his reaction after hearing the word Qingyuan.If nothing else happened, he should have said that he plans to build a branch factory in Qingyuan.

No one would refuse the opportunity to show his face in front of his friends, not to mention the establishment of a branch factory in Qingyuan is of great significance to Zhao Guangcai. As far as it is concerned, it is definitely something worthy of special mention.

To Lin Xi's surprise, after Zhao Guangcai heard that he had reported his family name, he just hummed a few times, and didn't show any obvious interest, let alone mentioning things like building a branch factory.

The reason why Lin Xi came here was to find out what Zhao Guangcai said.He already thought that the other party's establishment of a branch factory in Qingyuan was a bit strange, but now Zhao's performance made him feel even more strange, so Lin Xi decided to give him a challenge to find out.

"Boss Zhao, do you know our Qingyuan County?" Lin Xi asked expectantly.

Despite the innocent expression on his face, Lin Xi was thinking in his heart, since you don't want to take the initiative to mention it, then I will help you and see what you say.

Zhao Guangcai listened to Lin Xi's question, thought for a while, and then said: "Mingzhou Qingyuan, of course I know, I have been there... two... oh, no, three times!"

After Lin Xi heard this, he was overjoyed, and followed the other person's words and asked: "You have been to our place, may I ask what you are doing, selling melon seeds?"

When he asked this question, Lin Xi felt very fortunate that he was just an ignorant boy at this time.If an adult asked this question, Zhao Guangcai would definitely be on the alert. In this way, it would be almost impossible to inquire about anything.

After Zhao Guangcai heard Lin Xi's words, he smiled and said, "Young man, you guessed right. I went to your Qingyuan to sell melon seeds. Don't you have a supply company? Two years ago, I wanted to set up an It’s a store with old-fashioned melon seeds, but they said they need to study it, I went there three times in a row, they all said they need to wait for the approval of the leader, and finally let it go.”

Lin Xi thought that the other party would talk about the establishment of a branch factory in Qingyuan, but he actually said such a thing, which made him very curious, why does King Guazi keep such a secret about this matter?

Just when Lin Xi was in a daze, Zhao Guangcai continued: "Some time ago, I heard a friend come back from Qingyuan and said that the business of the department store is very sluggish. If you want me to tell you, their thinking will not change. Get well, it's hard!"

Hearing Zhao Guangcai's words, Hu Ju and others standing beside him nodded in agreement. Although Lin Xi also felt that the other party's words made sense, but at this time he was not concerned about this, so naturally he had no intention of paying attention.

After everyone's voices quieted down, Lin Xi tentatively asked: "Boss Zhao, didn't you go to our Qingyuan years ago? I heard from a friend of my father that he seemed to see you in Qingyuan years ago. ?”

Since Zhao Guangcai had been talking about him all the time, Lin Xi really had no choice but to get straight to the point with him.

After hearing Lin Xi's question, Zhao Guangcai didn't even think about it, and immediately replied: "No, I haven't been to Qingyuan in the past two years, and I have gone to the Huaijiang side more often than Yingtian, oh, that's right. , and Xu Cheng, Lao Hu, what do you think?"

Hu Ju was puzzled when he heard this, nodded, and patted Zhao Guangcai on the shoulder twice.

After Lin Xi heard this, he was completely dumbfounded. He never expected that the other party would deny it. He subconsciously said, "But, years ago, you..."

"Okay, little comrade, we still have something to do, please let me go." Hu Ju said very rudely, his face was serious, and the previous smile had long since disappeared.

Zhao Guangcai was invited by Ju Hu with great difficulty, but the other party said that he was leaving in the afternoon. Of course he didn't want Lin Xi to waste time here.In addition, Hu Ju found that Lin Xi always brought up the topic of Qingyuan intentionally or unintentionally. Although he didn't know what the other party's purpose was, it was better to pull Zhao Guangcai away as soon as possible.

The other party had already said that, so of course Lin Xi had no reason to block the way. While stepping aside, he also said to Zhao Guangcai: "Boss Zhao, you are welcome to sell melon seeds in Qingyuan!"

"Haha, good, good, I'll definitely go and have a look when I get a chance." Zhao Guangcai said happily.

Looking at the figures of several people going away, Lin Xi only felt his head was muddled, and he didn't know what was going on.

Lin Xi and Ni Lingwei got into the car amidst Gao Chengxiang's wishes for a smooth journey, Lin Xi drove, and Ni Lingwei sat in the back seat.

When Santana drove out of the Ziwei Hotel, Lin Xi was still observing the performance of Zhao Guangcai, Hu Ju and others through the rearview mirror.The two of them followed closely behind their car in a black Jetta. After going out, they drove in the other direction.

Ni Lingwei saw Lin Xi's performance in his eyes, and asked curiously: "You care so much about that person, what kind of big man is he? Don't tell me where the rich man is, I don't believe that these people are all taken by you." meet."

Lin Xi glanced at Ni Lingwei through the rearview mirror of the car, and said, "You are right to say that he is a rich man. At present, when it comes to personal assets in China, there are not many people who surpass him."

Lin Xi's words did not exaggerate Zhao Guangcai's meaning. Before the Spring Festival in 1986, Tulaomao Melon Company took the lead in launching prize-winning sales in the country, and with a Dongfang brand car as the first prize, it realized a profit of 3 million yuan in three months.Later, although there were some bumps and bumps, the general trend of Tu Laomao's melon seeds was quite good. At this time, Zhao Guangcai's worth was definitely not less than tens of millions, and that's exactly what Lin Xi said in his words.

Lin Xi looked at Ni Lingwei's expression of disapproval, and then said, "His name is Zhao Guangcai, you should have heard of it?"

Before, when Lin Xi communicated with Zhao Guangcai, Ni Lingwei didn't walk in and out because of his inconvenient legs and feet, so he didn't know what they said.

"Zhao Guangcai, Zhao Guangcai, the founder of Tu Laomao Guazi?" Ni Lingwei asked after thinking for a while.

Under the influence of her father, Ni Lingwei still paid close attention to current affairs news, so she just thought about it a little bit and understood who Lin Xi was talking about.

"Yes!" Lin Xi nodded slightly.

Although she guessed the other party's identity, Ni Lingwei didn't show much surprise. On the one hand, Zhao Guangcai was very far away from her, so she couldn't care about him;

"When you saw him, you walked over in a hurry. Do you want to ask him for advice on business experience?" Ni Lingwei asked with a smile, "He is a melon seed maker, and you are a furniture maker. It shouldn't be of much help to you!"

After hearing this, Lin Xi slowed down the car. He couldn't see through this matter now, so he just told Ni Lingwei to help him analyze it from the perspective of an outsider.

"Sister Ling Wei, it's like this. Years ago, I told me..."

Lin Xi simply told Ni Lingwei about the old hat Guazi's plan to build a branch factory in Qingyuan.

After finishing speaking, there was a slight pause, and Lin Xi went on to say: "Because Zhu Lianshan was involved in this matter, I was worried that it would be bad for my father. Today, by chance, I met Zhao Guangcai, so I decided to inquire about it, but He didn't mention it at all, I said it plainly, but he still didn't admit it."

After hearing Lin Xi's words, Ni Lingwei said: "This may fall into the category of commercial secrets, so he doesn't want others to know. If you ask, of course he won't say it."

"Of course it is also possible, but through the communication with him just now, I feel that he seems to know nothing about this matter. To be honest, I don't think his expression is pretending at all." Lin Xi described his Thoughts tell the truth.

"I don't know about that. Could it be that someone is cheating in Qingyuan under the banner of Zhao Guangcai?" Ni Lingwei said casually.

"This...that's impossible?" Lin Xi stammered back as he didn't expect Ni Lingwei to say this.

After seeing Lin Xi's expression, Ni Lingwei burst into a smile and said, "I was joking, but you actually took it seriously?"
