Chapter 223: Invite Hang Qi to Join the Gang
When Lin Xi saw Hang Qi, he was surprised to find that he did not confront him as he had done before.
Hang Qi felt calmer than ever before, "Boss Lin, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Lin Xi looked at Hang Qi. There was no emotion on his face, but his eyes revealed a sense of fatigue and sadness.
Come to think of it, he probably couldn't accept being abandoned all of a sudden.
"Lord Hang." Lin Xi's eyes fell on the master.
Hang Qi was stunned, then signaled his master to go down.
Lin Xi then spoke, "Lord Hang, you don't have much hope in the capital anyway..."
Hang Qi was already quite unhappy about Naio's situation. He had no hope that Lin Xi was harmed by someone. Didn't he have any idea about it? Now he actually said it in front of him.
"What on earth do you have to say!"
"Don't be angry, I'm just asking, do you want to cooperate with me?" Lin Xi asked.
Cooperation? Hang Qi frowned when he heard this. Lin Xi was probably just teasing him.
Lin Xi knew that it was not easy to make Hang Qi believe her sincerity, but she was more convinced that Hang Qi was now desperate and surrender was only a matter of time.
"Don't rush to answer me about the cooperation. You can think about it carefully before you speak." Lin Xi said, "Right now I need your help. You should know that I plan to open a paper mill in the county, but the bosses don't seem to agree with my work."
Hang Qi said unhappily, "How can I intervene in this matter? It's your business."
Lin Xi said, "Don't worry, sir. I don't mean to force you. I just hope you can do me a favor and not see them."
Hang Qi frowned. Although he was down and out now, he would not cooperate with an exiled person.
"Do you know what you said today? Once it gets to the capital." Hang Qi didn't continue speaking. I think Lin Xi should also know what the consequences will be.
"The capital city still receives your news?" Lin Xi looked at Lin Xi with a little surprise.
If she decided to give up a chess piece in her hand, the first thing she would do would be to cut off the communication.
Ancient times were not like modern times. There were no modern equipment and the other party had no way of contacting us even though we were three thousand miles away.
Hang Qi's face suddenly turned ugly when Lin Xi hit the nail on the head.
But seeing such an obvious reaction, Lin Xi knew that he must have guessed right.
"It's a deal, sir. No matter who comes to see you, please ignore them." Lin Xi walked out with a swagger.
Outside, the master was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. When he saw Lin Xi coming out, he glared at him fiercely.
Lin Xi immediately glared back. What? She didn't do anything. The master's reaction was too weird.
…
Wu Minjian has become more nervous since he found out that Zhang Chengye has returned to the county. He knows in his heart that this time Lin Xi will not give up until he achieves his goal.
I originally thought that Hang Qi would stand on their side, but he didn't.
After much thought, he decided to call all the bosses together to discuss countermeasures.
It was said to be a strategy discussion meeting, but everyone had a gloomy look on their faces.
"Alas, Boss Wu, I really don't have any other options. You said that Zhang Chengye's path is a dead end. At best, we can just fight Lin Xi to the end and not buy it no matter how much money she offers!"
"That's right, as long as we don't sell it, what else can she do!"
One person sets the pace, and the others follow suit.
Although everyone seems to be tough, there is a sense of uncertainty deep in everyone's heart. As long as one person betrays, there will definitely be others who will follow suit.
These days, the price Lin Xi offered to Yunniang has become known to everyone.
If several thousand taels of silver were placed in front of them, could they really resist accepting it?
Among the crowd, Wu Minjian was the most determined, but his determination was mainly because this industry was the only one left in his family.
If it is destroyed in his hands, I will have a hard time explaining myself when I go back to worship my ancestors during the Qingming Festival.
"I think Boss Wang is right. If we insist on not selling, Lin Xi will have no choice."
But soon someone said, "Do you know that Lin Xi went to the county government yesterday and met Lord Hang. I don't know what the two talked about. Today, the master sent a message, asking us not to find Lord Hang about Lin Xi's matter again, he won't care."
When everyone heard this, they were immediately overwhelmed.
When doing business, I am not afraid of anything else except getting involved with government officials.
Now Hang Qi has openly said that he doesn't care, which means he is pushing them to death.
"In my opinion, it's not that simple."
"Boss Wang, what do you mean by this?"
"Lord Hang said he doesn't care, but I'm afraid he might have a hand in it. If that's the case, then Lin Xi isn't making money for himself, but for Lord Hang. Everyone knows that cutting off someone's financial resources will not lead to a good ending."
Boss Wang's speculation made the atmosphere at the scene quiet for a moment. If Hang Qi really had shares in it, they would have to sell it even if they didn't want to.
"Would Lord Hang really do such a thing?"
Wu Minjian thought of Hang Qi's reaction that day, and suddenly felt that Boss Wang's guess made sense. "I'm afraid this matter was instigated by Lord Hang. Otherwise, why would Lin Xi suddenly get involved in these things when she was fine?"
After these words were spoken, the people present became even more frightened.
"Boss Wu, don't scare me. Are you going to destroy my family's decades-long foundation in my hands?"
"This won't do. We still need to think of a solution quickly."
At this moment, a young and beautiful woman walked in from the door. She glanced at the bosses in the room with different expressions and said with a smile, "Why bother with this? I have already prepared the contract for you."
When Wu Minjian saw that the person coming was actually Lin Xi, he immediately became furious, "How dare you come here, Lin Xi! I just want to ask you how we have offended you that you would treat us so cruelly."
Lin Xi shrugged, "I don't understand what Boss Wu said. I just want to buy your store. How can I offend you?"
"You still say no!" Boss Wang said angrily, "You forced us to sell our store, didn't you?"
"This boss is wrong. I just want your store, not your signboard. You don't think that the signboard of a small store in Lianggu County is worth my special purchase, right?" Lin Xi chuckled.
She also didn't understand. This was clearly a good opportunity to make a lot of money, but why were these people like blockheads unable to figure it out?
"Everyone, you took my money, you can rent other storefronts and continue your business. What I want is your equipment." Lin Xi said, "I'm not afraid to say it directly. I'm in the rice paper business, and it's selling very well now, but the production can't keep up, so I need to buy your ready-made place to facilitate my production. There is no other intention."
