Chapter 335: Meeting He Huaizheng Again

After Si Tian finished dealing with the matters at the bamboo weaving shop, he went to the rubber factory outside the city. Adjutant Qi wore yesterday's shoes for a day, and apart from being a little heavier, there were no major problems.

So he is now going to the factory to ask Zhang Yuan and others to speed up the production of soles and try to finish this batch of shoes.

"Second Master, you're here." Jiang Shui happened to see someone getting out of the car at the door.

Si Tian nodded and saw what she was holding in her hand: "What is this?"

"This is the lifebuoy that Brother Zhang and his team made before. It just has a problem with air leakage. I plan to take it back and try to see if I can solve this problem."

Jiang Shui said as he handed him the thing in his hand.

Si Tian took it in his hand and looked at it. It was transparent in color, with interfaces on both sides, and the material seemed to be quite elastic.

There was a small circular opening at one location, which should be where the air was inflated. "Is it deflated from here?"

"Yes, so I want to take it back and see if there is any way to lock the air and make it more convenient to release it." Jiang Shui explained.

Si Tian handed her the lifebuoy in his hand and said, "Take it and study it!"

Jiang Shui took the lifebuoy and walked towards home.

"Second Master, Miss Meng called you several times and asked you to call her back when you get here." Zhang Yuan hurried over and said.

"Okay, I understand. You arrange for everyone to make the soles as soon as possible and send them to the shoe and hat factory." Si Tian went to the office after giving the order.

He picked up the phone and called the newspaper: "Hello, I'm looking for Meng Yanxin."

After a while, footsteps were heard on the other end of the phone: "Hello, I'm Meng Yanxin."

"Is there any news?" Si Tian asked directly.

"No one in the Cai family has a birthday, and there's nothing to celebrate. I asked someone to find out, and I'm looking for you about Xiaomai."

"About wheat?" Si Tian remembered that the Cai family also had large tracts of grain fields. Their family was a flour mill and they grew wheat.

"Well, the wheat in your field grows fast and has a high yield. He was attracted by it, so he probably asked you out for this reason."

Meng Yanxin told him everything she knew.

"How long has it been since you last visited your mother?" Si Tian asked after she finished speaking.

Meng Yan was so surprised to hear this that she was still a little slow to react. After a moment of silence, she replied, "She wouldn't want to see me even if I went back."

"I'd better go back and take a look when I have time." Si Tian said and hung up the phone.

He didn't say it explicitly, but just mentioned it briefly.

With Meng Yanxin's ability, it is impossible for her not to find out about her mother's affairs, so she won't interfere.

Meng Yanxin hung up the phone and frowned. Si Tian would not say this for no reason.

She said something to the people at the newspaper office, picked up her things and prepared to go home to take a look.

After Si Tian finished dealing with the matters at the rubber factory, he got into the car.

"Second Master, where are we going now?" Xiao Zhang was sitting in the driver's seat.

Si Tian thought about it and originally planned to let his eldest brother go find He Huaizheng, but he had gone out to find bandits and didn't know when he would be back.

If He Huaizheng left Beiyang City, it would be more troublesome to find him.

It seems I have to make the trip myself.

"Go prepare some gifts, we are going to visit the diplomats." Si Tian ordered.

Xiao Zhang drove to buy gifts and finally arrived at the yard where He Huaizheng had stayed before.

The two stopped at the gate of the courtyard, and Xiao Zhang went forward and knocked on the door.

"Who is it?" He Huaizheng's voice came from inside the door.

"Si family, Si Tian is here to visit you." Si Tian answered neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Squeak!" The courtyard door was opened from the inside.

He Huaizheng looked at the two people in front of him: "Second Master Si, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"Mr. He, do you want to talk here?" Si Tian looked at him with a faint smile.

"Mr. Si, please come in." He Huaizheng made way.

Xiao Zhang pushed him into the yard and stopped at the living room.

He put the things on the table and turned to go to the yard.

He Huaizheng looked at him and said nothing. Instead, he sat opposite Si Tian and poured him a cup of tea. "Second Master Si is well-informed."

"I can't find you if I'm not well informed. I originally wanted to wait for my eldest brother to come back and find you, but once he goes out, I don't know when he will be back."

"So I can only take the liberty to come and visit." Si Tian explained with a smile.

"I don't know. What does Mr. Si want to see me about?" He Huaizheng didn't ask where Si Ming had gone.

"I want the diplomat to help me find some raw materials for Western medicine." Si Tian picked up the cup and took a sip of tea.

"Western medicine raw materials?" He Huaizheng picked up the cup and glanced at him.

"Yes." Si Tian took a sip of tea and nodded.

He Huaizheng didn't say anything, just slid his fingers along the wall of the cup.

Si Tian was not in a hurry. After all, he came to ask someone for help, so he should be patient.

"Mr. Si, are you planning to build a Western medicine factory?" He Huaizheng looked at the person opposite him.

"Yes, it is also a troublesome thing to find suppliers of Western medicine, but some raw materials can only be imported." Si Tian did not hide it.

"What materials do you need?" He Huaizheng didn't ask any other questions.

Si Tian took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to him. On it was the raw materials that Si Gu needed, which had no substitute in the country.

He Huaizheng looked at the names of the raw materials on the paper: "I can help you contact these things, but are you sure there are no problems?"

There are several Western medicine factories in China now, but they all rely on imported raw materials. For example, penicillin can only be repackaged and there is no possibility of obtaining raw materials.

"We have to give it a try anyway." Si Tian said it as if it were a joke.

He Huaizheng looked at the raw materials on the paper: "Mr. Si said it easily, but it cost a lot of money."

"Someone has to try, otherwise you will always be led by the nose, don't you think?" Si Tian looked at him with a smile.

He Huaizheng smiled, picked up the cup and took a sip of the already warm tea: "I will let you know when there is news."

He paused and said, "I thought Mr. Si was here to talk to me about arms, but it seems I was wrong."

"Of course I know Mr. He has connections, but you also know that I'm just a businessman. The arms matter should still be discussed with you by my eldest brother."

Si Tian answered casually, but also expressed his attitude.

He is just a businessman and he doesn't know anything about arms.

"You can come to me if you need anything. I will be staying in Beiyang City for a while recently." He Huaizheng smiled faintly.

"Then I'll trouble you, Mr. He. I won't disturb your rest." Si Tian pushed the wheelchair to the door.

"I won't tell anyone about this, but I want to ask Mr. Si to promise me one thing." He Huaizheng spoke behind him.

Si Tian turned his wheelchair to face him: "Mr. He, please feel free to speak."
