The purpose of Si Mingda personally delivering the samples this time was to see with his own eyes whether Li Xiaoliang's company was the legendary "shell company" in order to dispel his doubts.
He walked around the office and sample room and felt that the layout was quite formal, suggesting that it was a legitimate foreign trade company. He was very satisfied with the results of the inspection. After returning to the conference room, he pointed to several boxes of samples and asked Li Xiaoliang, "Mr. Li, are you sending these samples abroad or testing them yourself?"
"It will take about two to three weeks to send it abroad for testing." This is the time period Gao Huai taught Li Xiaoliang.
"Okay, we'll wait for your notification. Once the customer confirms the sample, please tell us the test results in time. We will definitely fully support this order." YZ Company looked more formal, and Simingda felt much more at ease.
"As soon as I receive notification from foreign guests, I will send it to you immediately." Li Xiaoliang replied politely. Gao Huai had communicated with him about these negotiation routines in advance.
"If there are subsequent orders, should we contact you directly or contact our overseas colleagues?"
"I'm only responsible for the front-end. The subsequent order matters will be handled by Wen Xun, the colleague from the last video conference. He understands English."
"Isn't he in the country?"
"He is the assistant of his foreign boss and often travels between the two places." After several training sessions with Gao Huai, Li Xiaoliang's lying skills became more and more sophisticated, and he could actually do it without blushing or getting nervous.
"Can I meet him?"
For some reason, Si Mingda suddenly became interested in "Wen Xun", who only showed his two eyes during the last meeting. He felt that the man was a bit mysterious. He never took off his mask from beginning to end. During the meeting, he just talked about work in a businesslike manner and never spoke directly to Si Mingda and Wang Mudan.
Si Mingda felt that 'Wen Xun' was a little mysterious, and sensitively felt that the man seemed familiar, especially his accent sounded very familiar, but he could not remember where he had seen him?
"Boss Si, I'm sorry, he's my boss. I don't dare ask about his whereabouts. Next time he comes back, I'll confirm with him and get back to you."
Li Xiaoliang spoke respectfully. His humble attitude made Si Mingda very happy. He liked this gentle and sensible young man more and more.
"Well, in that case, I won't ask too much. Since he's your boss, I need to meet with him for smoother cooperation between us in the future. Could you please help pass on the message?"
"Boss Si, I will definitely tell him."
"During our last video conference, time was too tight and I didn't have a private chat with him. I hope I'll have a chance to talk to him face to face next time."
"Boss Si, please rest assured, there will definitely be a chance to meet you."
"Okay, thank you! I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation."
"Thank you, Mr. Si! We must have a pleasant cooperation!" Li Xiaoliang shook hands with Si Mingda enthusiastically.
Gao Huai sat in a coffee shop across from the company. He silently monitored the details of the conversation between Li Xiaoliang and Simingda through his mobile phone. When Simingda suggested inviting Li Xiaoliang and Xiaoqi to lunch together, Li Xiaoliang declined several times, but Simingda was extremely enthusiastic: "Mr. Li, last time you visited the factory, I wanted to treat you to a meal, but you said you didn't have time. Today I came to Nanyou City specifically to have a good chat with you and deepen our understanding. Let's go to the restaurant downstairs from your company. Just give it a try. It shouldn't take up much of your time."
"Mr. Si, it's really not necessary. I still have information about several suppliers to sort out. Can we skip the meal? I'm really sorry."
As early as when Li Xiaoliang went to Mingdan Company to visit the factory, Gao Huai told him that he was absolutely not allowed to eat alone with Si Mingda. Men have to drink when they eat. If they get drunk, they can't keep anything secret. If they are not careful, all their efforts may be wasted. Gao Huai racked his brains and spent so much energy and resources, naturally he didn't want this plan to fail halfway.
Li Xiaoliang refused several times, but Simingda insisted on inviting him. Gao Huai couldn't help but feel a little worried. He quickly sent a WeChat message to Li Xiaoliang to warn him: "Don't go out to dinner with him, and talk less to avoid mistakes in a hurry. You have to be cautious about this big order."
"Okay." Li Xiaoliang replied quickly. He knew Gao Huai was always monitoring every move in the office. To avoid Gao Huai's criticism, he had no choice but to firmly refuse Si Mingda. "Mr. Si, I'm really sorry. I have to go to a supplier's factory this afternoon, so I'm pressed for time. Don't worry, as long as this deal goes through, we'll have plenty of opportunities to eat together in the future."
Seeing that Li Xiaoliang insisted on not going to eat, Si Mingda had to give up: "Okay, Mr. Li, it seems that your customers' business is good. Are you so busy every day?"
"Haha, yes, we are short of manpower, so we have no choice but to do everything ourselves." Li Xiaoliang's face always had a gentle smile, which made Si Mingda like him more. He thought that this young man was a good business partner who knew how to behave and do things.
"Okay then, I won't waste your time. Please send the samples to the customers as soon as possible. I'll wait for your notification."
"OK."
After exchanging a few words with Li Xiaoliang, Si Mingda drove away with the engineers. After seeing them drive away, Gao Huai hurried back to the company.
Li Xiaoliang was surprised to see Si Mingda return to the company so quickly and asked, "Brother Huai, didn't you go to see the factory?"
"No, I'm in the cafe across the street."
"Oh, take a look at the samples they sent over."
After hearing this, Li Xiaoliang became even more suspicious that Gao Huai might know Si Mingda. As for why Gao Huai avoided meeting him, he didn't know. As a subordinate and cousin, he didn't dare to ask too much.
