Chapter 144: Secret Transaction
In the private room of Rainbow Hotel.
President Zheng carefully examined the Cordyceps in his hand, then took out a small glass bottle, took out a Cordyceps, broke it, smelled it, put it in his mouth and chewed it for a while. After a long while, he nodded:
"It is indeed wild first-grade Cordyceps, and it is very fresh, without any signs of processing. It is very rare."
President Zheng is just lustful, but he is not stupid. He was able to climb to the position of branch manager in his thirties. His ability is unquestionable and he is very smart.
Lin Sanqi was in a very relaxed mood. He knew best where his Cordyceps came from. If the other party gave a bad review, he could only say that they did not know the goods.
"President Zheng, don't worry. I personally purchase these cordyceps from herders on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Every piece is guaranteed to be authentic. I promise to pay ten times the price for any counterfeit goods."
President Zheng is also a straightforward person. After inspecting the Cordyceps, he leaned back in his chair.
"Mr. Xiaolin, I'm very satisfied with the Cordyceps. If you can guarantee this quality for every piece of Cordyceps in 50 kilograms, I can place an order now, but..."
Lin Sanqi was a little surprised by the other party's straightforwardness. He had thought that it would take three rounds of drinks, a lot of sweet talk, and the other party would have to negotiate a few times before he could place an order. Unexpectedly, the deal was done with just a few words.
But, this “but”…
Lin Sanqi chuckled:
"Manager Zheng, you're a straightforward person, so I'll be straightforward too. As long as the deal goes through, I'll get the full payment..."
President Zheng took out a small card from his briefcase. On it was a long string of numbers:
"Boss Xiaolin, I heard from Xiaoyin that you are a loving person. This account is dedicated to a charity organization. I'm sure you're willing to give your love."
Lin Sanqi took it and took a look, knowing that this was the account for receiving kickbacks.
The opening bank and the payee are far away in a remote province and apparently have nothing to do with President Zheng.
Lin Sanqi put the card away and nodded heavily, "President Zheng, don't worry. I won't take a penny off the 2.5 million yuan donation."
President Zheng was very pleased when he saw Lin Sanqi's understanding.
"Okay, Xiaolin is always capable. We can cooperate more in the future. Come, I'll toast you a glass."
Lin Sanqi quickly picked up the wine glass, lowering the rim of his glass to that of President Zheng's glass, touched it lightly, and then drank it all in one gulp.
Yin Lianyi was stunned watching from the side. She had originally thought that there would be a tug-of-war between the two sides. After all, the purchase contract was worth 25 million.
As a result, the two men had just sat down for a short while and the deal was done without even having a glass of wine. Is it so easy to make money these days?
In fact, what Yin Lianyi didn't know was that President Zheng and Lin Sanqi didn't want to say much about this transaction. Firstly, they were afraid of saying too much and making mistakes, and secondly, they were even more worried about what if the other party had a recording?
So to put it simply, the best option is to complete the transaction as quickly as possible and reach a consensus on rebates.
After a few drinks, the two sides started chatting casually.
President Zheng clearly still had some tentative intentions, so he asked:
"Boss Xiaolin, your Lingnan Hall is quite powerful. As far as I know, the Cordyceps on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is monopolized by a few companies. They are the only ones who can purchase it locally. Other investors who want to get involved are often brutally driven away. How did you get such a large amount of Cordyceps?"
The price of Cordyceps is going to be driven up so high, there must be someone behind it.
If a promoter wants to maximize profits and become a trader, then he must control the entire supply of Cordyceps. In China, only a few capitals, or... families... can do this.
As a financial elite, President Zheng understands the brutality and aggressiveness of capital and will never allow others to share the cake.
Lin Sanqi smiled, but inwardly he was thinking, am I telling you I can travel through time? In 1959, Cordyceps was only used to feed pigs, so no one wanted it?
"President Zheng, I definitely can't do this alone, but I have my own leader. Our business is not limited to Cordyceps. As long as it is a precious Chinese medicinal material, we have a way to get it."
President Zheng nodded, thinking that Mr. Kobayashi was indeed just a white glove.
This kind of people are too common in the capital market, like the CEO of a real estate company. Don't be fooled by the fact that he always likes to wear Hermès belts, date cool celebrities, and show off in front of others.
In fact, everyone who knows it understands that he is just a white glove pushed to the front by certain capitals, and the real boss behind the scenes is unlikely to show up.
"Then Mr. Xiaolin, it seems we can continue to cooperate more in the future."
Lin Sanqi also patted his chest and said, "President Zheng, don't worry. I can't guarantee anything else, but I can do whatever you need in terms of Chinese medicinal materials."
"Okay, okay, come on, let's clink glasses again. Xiao Yin, why don't you drink? Come on, fill your glasses up, let's clink glasses over the three of us."
President Zheng felt relaxed thinking that he would soon receive 2.5 million yuan, so he prepared to start getting his female subordinate drunk.
Seeing that the leader and Lin Sanqi were getting along well, Yin Lianyi didn't dare to spoil the fun, so she picked up the red wine in her glass:
"Okay, President Zheng, President Xiaolin, I'll drink this cup!"
When President Zheng saw Yin Lianyi drinking a full glass of red wine, his eyes suddenly lit up. He felt that the opportunity had come tonight, so he picked up the glass enthusiastically:
"Xiao Yin, Mr. Xiao Lin is an expert in Chinese medicinal herbs. Didn't you hear him say you can ask for any medicine you want? You should toast to such an expert. You can't let him think that our Tianhe branch is impolite."
Yin Lianyi almost laughed out loud. Others might not know, but she didn't know what kind of person Lin Sanqi was. He was even a master.
However, she was still a little naive, not having experienced the harshness of society. She didn't know the dangers of drinking culture, and after being coaxed by others, she picked up the second glass of wine:
"Then Mr. Xiaolin, I'd like to offer you a toast. Thank you for helping me complete the task successfully."
Lin Sanqi made a lot of money and was in a good mood. He picked up the wine glass and clinked it with his. "Thank you, Miss Yin, for helping me make a fortune. This glass is for you."
These two people thought they were having a class reunion and drank one cup after another.
When President Zheng saw the two men put down their glasses, he immediately took advantage of the situation and continued to attack:
"Okay, Xiao Yin, you're so forthcoming today. I heard you've been working hard out there these past few days. So, if we have one more drink, I'll consider transferring you to the credit department. How about that?"
After drinking two glasses of red wine, Yin Lianyi felt a little dizzy.
If it were any other occasion, she would never drink, but today, because Lin Sanqi was present, she unconsciously felt a sense of security, so she picked up the glass again:
"Thank you, President Zheng. I will definitely work hard. I'll drink this cup."
Three glasses of red wine, which is almost more than half a bottle, plus she was drinking on an empty stomach, Yin Lianyi's face began to turn red and her eyes were a little blurry.
The drunk beauty has a unique charm, which makes President Zheng feel very happy.
Lin Sanqi remained vigilant. He saw that Yin Lianyi might get drunk today. If he was drunk by President Zheng again, Yin Lianyi would be in danger today.
Seeing that the situation was not right, Lin Sanqi immediately adopted Plan B and reminded Yin Lianyi:
"Miss Yin, what do I look like to you?"
Yin Lianyi laughed heartily and cursed like she did in her school days: "I think you look like a fool."
Suddenly, Yin Lianyi, who received the secret signal, was shocked and woke up instantly. She knew that she might have drunk too much and lost her composure. She cursed President Zheng in her heart as a bastard who took the opportunity to get him drunk, and immediately implemented Plan B.
Yin Lianyi suddenly acted like a drunk, hugging Lin Sanqi's arm and acting coquettishly:
"President Zheng, let me introduce you to my boyfriend, Lin Sanqi, Mr. Lin, hehe, hehe..."
President Zheng was startled, feeling as if he had eaten a fly.
"Oh, so Mr. Xiaolin is your boyfriend? But you didn't act like you knew him well just now."
Lin Sanqi pretended to be embarrassed and admitted:
"President Zheng, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hide it from you. It's just that Lianyi and I are both in the start-up phase, so we're prioritizing our careers and not planning to disclose it. But this girl got drunk and blurted it out first. Haha, Lianyi, you're a little tipsy."
After Lin Sanqi finished speaking, he pretended to pat Yin Lianyi's thigh with his hand, then placed it directly on it and took the opportunity to stroke her thigh a few times.
Feeling the soft touch in his hands, Lin Sanqi exclaimed in his heart: Wow, so white and tender, I give it 100 points for the touch.
Yin Lianyi was wearing a denim miniskirt, and her thighs were exposed when she sat down. Now, she was gently touched by someone's dirty hands, and she suddenly became angry.
But she knew that it was time to act, and how could she hide it from the old fox, President Zheng, if she didn't act affectionate?
So, while smiling, he secretly used his index finger and thumb to dig into the back of Lin Sanqi's hand and twisted it viciously.
"I'm not drunk. I'm just having a good time today. Sanqi, you should toast President Zheng again."
Lin Sanqi was grimacing in pain, but on the surface he remained calm.
President Zheng took a look and thought, wow, this usually icy beauty in the bank is actually being touched on the thigh by a man. Is this a play on contrast? This is too unexpected.
But those who can become bank presidents are all scheming and cunning. On the surface, they still smile and say:
"Boss Xiaolin, that's great! You've captured the most beautiful girl in our Tianhe branch. How long ago did this happen? Xiao Yin didn't leak a word."
Lin Sanqi touched her thigh for a long time, then held Yin Lianyi's hand and continued to caress it gently:
"She and I were childhood sweethearts. We were classmates from elementary school to high school. We fell in love over time and got together naturally."
President Zheng felt unhappy, as if the fish in his pond had escaped, but then he felt relieved. Tianhe Branch had thousands of employees, and there were many beautiful female employees, so one or two would not make a difference.
There will never be a shortage of women for a man of his caliber.
Compared to the 2.5 million that is about to be received and the possible cooperation in the future, money is far more important than a woman.
"Well, Mr. Xiaolin and our Xiaoyin are indeed a perfect match. As the bank president, I'd like to toast you again. Mr. Xiaolin, please don't bully the beauty of our Tianhe branch in the future."
"President Zheng, you're welcome. I'll finish this cup. Please feel free to do as you please."
Lin Sanqi was toasting while stroking someone's thigh...
