After beating He Wei up, Mao Huimei felt much better.
After returning to the Xinsheng Food Factory booth, I wanted to let other people go to eat, but it was obvious that everyone was too busy to care.
The booth was crowded with people, the ingredients in the Chuan Chuan Xiang stall were almost gone, and three or four salesmen from the factory were introducing the products to interested people.
Xinsheng Chuanchuanxiang is now quite well-known in Yanshi. Things like fish balls and fish tofu are relatively rare in northern China, so Xinsheng's ingredients had almost no competition at this exhibition.
Many retail business owners are very interested in their products.
This time they are mainly recruiting agents. Chuan Chuan Xiang seasoning can be sold directly across the country, but products such as fish tofu and fish balls are limited by the transportation chain and can only reach neighboring provinces at most. If they want to go further, they will have to consider opening branch factories.
Xia Wenyue already has enough experience and plans in these areas, and Xia Mian can't get involved.
Mao Huilan went to help add ingredients and do some chores. Seeing that they were not needed, Mao Huimei pulled Xia Mian to the international booth that she had been thinking about.
The international exhibition booths were divided into a separate area with only a few booths, but each one was very large, three times the size of the domestic ones.
There were quite a few people walking around. Nowadays, people still regarded blond-haired and blue-eyed foreigners as something of a curiosity, so many people would take the time to come and see the excitement.
However, those who actually do business are elites who appear to be dressed in suits and ties.
Mao Huimei had just studied English intensively for a while and wanted to test her learning results. She couldn't help but go to a booth where people were negotiating and listen to their English conversation.
Although the other party had an interpreter, the person negotiating was obviously proficient in English, and the two were communicating directly.
This is a company that sells juicer workshop machines. Xia Mian listened for a while and soon noticed a young man in front of the booth.
The young man looked to be about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, with a thin and slender figure. He looked gentle and refined in his white shirt and suit pants.
However, he stared at the booth closely, looking very calm, but the nervous curled and open fingers and the look of encouragement in his eyes showed that he was not at ease.
After a while, the young man's eyes swept across the juice in front of the booth, and he walked up with his fists clenched and a desperate momentum.
The person in charge of the booth was still negotiating with the previous customer, so the young man went directly to the person in charge's translator.
“Excuse me, do you make juice?”
"Do you want apples? Our Jingyishan apples are very sweet. I brought our early-ripening varieties. You can try them..."
He was probably very nervous, and he opened his mouth and blurted out his purpose. Xia Mian noticed the words "Jing Yishan".
Isn’t this the place where those unscrupulous buyers just discussed the purchase of fruits?
She looked at the young man thoughtfully. The translator on the other side was obviously amused by his words and said politely, "We don't accept apples here. If they do accept apples in China, you can find those canning factories or beverage factories."
The young man asked anxiously, "Aren't you also making juice here? You don't need apples to make juice?"
"Hey, isn't this Teacher Fang?" A woman's voice came, her tone mocking. "Why are you here?"
Xia Mian looked in the direction of the voice and saw He Wei and his cousin. She then looked at the young man, so he should be Fang Yongpeng, the one who prevented fruit farmers from signing unfair contracts as those unscrupulous businessmen said.
Xia Mian remember they said he was a local high school teacher?
Fang Yongpeng saw the woman's expression change, and said angrily, "He Min."
He Min smiled faintly, her eyes sweeping across the booth. Seeing the row of fruit juices, she smiled knowingly and asked, "What's the matter? Teacher Fang is too disdainful to sell the fruit to us, so he plans to sell it to his foreign friends?"
At this point, he seemed to have seen something funny. "Are you really going to send nearly 10,000 tons of fruit from your mountains abroad by plane? If you send it by train, I'm afraid it will all rot on the way."
Fang Yongpeng frowned.
He Min continued to laugh, "What a shame! This is a machine shop, not a juice factory. They won't accept it even if you send it by plane."
Fang Yongpeng had calmed down. He looked at her coldly and said, "It's none of your business. You can do whatever you want with our fruit."
"Teacher Fang." He Min said with a smile, "I'm afraid your words won't count."
"When the fruit season is over, no matter how sweet and delicious the fruits of Jingyi Mountain are, they will rot in the fields if no one picks them. By then, those villagers who are now obedient and have high expectations of you will probably hate you to death."
"At that time, we were their breadwinners, so I advise you to stop interfering."
"It's a thankless job, what's the point?"
Seeing Fang Yongpeng remained silent, He Min smiled slightly and said, "It's up to you. I'm afraid that you will be begging us to take it back."
Noticing He Wei's low mood next to him, He Min followed his gaze and quickly saw Xia Mian and Mao Huimei.
He Wei had obviously told her about them. He Min said with a smile, "It turns out to be Miss Xia. What a coincidence that you are here too."
Looking at the contempt in He Min's eyes, combined with He Wei's malice towards them, it was obvious that he didn't say anything good about them.
Most of the time, the story goes that Xia Wenyue's family relied on Xia Mian's life-saving grace and used all means to get close to Young Master Ning.
Xia Mian was too lazy to pay attention to the arrogant brother and sister. Mao Huimei simply pretended not to see them and walked straight towards Fang Yongpeng.
She also guessed that Fang Yongpeng was the representative of the fruit farmers in Jingyi Mountain, and that he must have been forced to come here to sell fruit to foreigners.
He Min was ignored by the two unknown girls, and her face was ugly for a moment. Seeing that the person in charge of the booth had just sent away a guest, she said loudly in English, "Sir, congratulations, this lady is interested in buying your machine. Her family owns a large factory."
The person in charge immediately came over warmly and extended his hand towards Xia Mian, "Hello! Charles."
He Min's short sentences were very simple, and Mao Huimei understood them, so she felt a little embarrassed when she saw Charles looking like he wanted to talk business.
In this situation where you are forced to do something, it is of course impossible to really talk about business, but if you don't talk about it, you will make a fool of yourself.
Even for the sake of saving face, Mao Huimei didn't want to make a fool of herself by these two trash.
Xia Mian obviously thought so too, so she patted Mao Huimei's hand in a comforting manner, first calmly greeted Mr. Charles in English, then turned back to He Wei and his sister and said with a smile, "I finally know why He Wei is so uncultured. It seems that it's a problem with the He family's upbringing. Your family members are all so immoral."
He Wei said angrily, "What did you say?"
"Did I say something wrong?" Xia Mian glanced at He Min and sneered at He Wei, "Your He family's business has grown so big, I guess you must have used some despicable means, right? Otherwise, how could such a dirty act be so easy to pull off?"
Mao Huimei said, "What's there to say to them? They started out as small farmers. How can we expect them to have any manners or morals?"
He Wei was immediately furious. "Who do you think you are? How dare you scold our He family?"
Mao Huimei said coldly, "Who do you think you are? You dare to insult our Mao family? Ten years ago, your family might not have been better than mine! You are trash!"
He Min also said angrily, "I'm giving you a good face, right? Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you're in a high position!"
"I can still do whatever I want." Xia Mian raised his chin and looked at her with contempt, saying something that would make people's teeth itch in the future, "You hit me?"
He Wei and He Min's faces turned red with anger.
Charles looked at them in confusion, as if he didn't understand why they were arguing.
Seeing this, He Min was about to slander the two in English and trick them again, but Xia Mian said in fluent English, "This is not an honest business, so I hope they will leave."
Xia Mian looked at He Wei and his brother, "They do things by any means necessary. They are very annoying."
He Wei didn't expect Xia Mian's English to be so fluent. He couldn't understand what Xia Mian was saying, but looking at the look in the booth manager's eyes, he guessed that it might not be something good.
Charles then invited Xia Mian and the others to go to the compartment inside for a detailed discussion.
Xia Mian looked back at He Min, who was almost pissed off, and sneered. Then he said to Fang Yongpeng, "Teacher Fang, you should come too. We can chat together."
Fang Yongpeng was stunned for a moment, and Mao Huimei directly pulled him and Xia Mian into the compartment.
He Min and He Wei both looked unhappy. He Wei asked, "What did she say?"
"You said we were unscrupulous," He Min said angrily. "A young girl, relying on Young Master Ning's ignorance of heaven and earth, actually dared to criticize our He family?!"
He Wei caught a glimpse of her calmly shaking hands and talking with Charles through the small door of the compartment, and suddenly calmed down, "Sister, you'd better be careful recently, don't let anything happen."
"What could possibly have happened?" He Min was still furious. "But didn't you say she was a country girl? How come her English is so good?"
Not only English... I couldn't help but think of Xia Mian's performance on the stage on the day of Mr. Rong's birthday party. She seemed to be able to play drums, violin, and everything that rich young ladies can do.
I felt a little uneasy in my heart. "She even called Fang Yongpeng specifically. I'm afraid she will interfere in Jing Yishan's affairs."
"Sister, you'd better stop making such a fuss. It's only a few hundred thousand. Don't make such a fuss that you really get nothing in the end."
He Min rolled his eyes. "Hundreds of thousands? Young Master, hundreds of thousands a year, that's millions in five years! Even if you want to earn hundreds of thousands, you still have to work hard for several months."
"She's just a yellow-haired girl. Look how scared you are. Is it really that serious?"
He Min glanced towards the cubicle and said, "Don't worry. Even if they speak fluent English, they're just trying to save face and avoid making a fool of themselves. Can they possibly buy a few machines and start a juice factory?"
He Wei said, "What if that happens? Xia Mian is very capable. Young Master Ning almost obeys her every word. He can even give her a Ferrari. It won't cost much to open a juice factory."
"Even if it doesn't cost a lot of money, a few million is still a good thing," He Min said with a smile. "Besides, giving a Ferrari as a gift is not the same as this."
"Who is that Ferrari for?" He Min asked, "It's for Young Master Rong!"
"How many years have Young Master Ning and Young Master Rong been friends? They've always been good friends, and what's the situation with the Rong family?"
"That Ferrari is valuable, but it was a favor. Even if Young Master Ning had given it to her, it wouldn't have been a loss. Besides lending Xia Mian some fame, it actually has nothing to do with her."
"But give Xia Mian a few million and let him cause trouble. Do you think Young Master Ning will be so happy?"
Just as she was talking about this, He Wei seemed to have seen something and interrupted her, saying, "Oh no, Zhang Defa."
He quickly pulled He Min and hid behind a booth nearby.
After a while, a man with a briefcase hurried over, looked around, and didn't see the person he was looking for. He sighed helplessly and turned away.
He Wei and He Mincai came out from behind the booth.
He Min frowned and said, "Is he still pestering you?"
He Wei said in annoyance, "Well, I don't know what's going on with Zhang Defa, but he's targeting the He family. Just because the He family has a cannery, he must take over their county's cannery? Are they taking advantage of us?"
He Min said, "Is it really impossible? Our factory does need to expand. Sanyi County is a good location, and his brother-in-law is about to be promoted. If we can avoid offending him, we should do so. We will meet in many places in the future."
"I know. If you don't see me, do I have to avoid him?" He Wei said impatiently, "He said he sold the factory to us at a low price, but not only has it been shut down for three years, but I don't know how much the workers' wages are owed. The machines must be old and need to be replaced."
"Look at how much he eats, and I wonder how much bad debt he has. I've asked around, and the banks won't lend him money. He'll have to pony up millions to fill the hole just to keep the business running."
"He really thinks we, the He family, are fools."
He Min sighed, "You said he's stubborn. He's obsessed with one company, so if he wants to sell it to a layman who knows nothing about it, then what can he do? The factory's price is so low, maybe it will be sold quickly..."
He Min paused when she spoke here, "He Wei..."
"What's wrong?"
He Min's eyes gradually brightened up. "I suddenly thought of a good idea. It won't offend Zhang Defa, and I can also deal with those two wild girls at the same time."
"What's the idea?"
"Send someone to follow those two girls closely and see which booth they are at. Find their base camp first."
He Wei reacted and said, "You mean..."
"Yeah, so Xia Mian is just here to talk about juice machines, right? Isn't the next step to open a factory?"
The more He Min thought about it, the more feasible it seemed. "I can see that they are young and hot-headed, and they hate our He family, so they are deliberately going against us. If we provoke them a little, maybe they will take over the factory out of spite."
He Wei frowned. "Even if the factory is cheap, it will cost at least 40,000 or 50,000 yuan. Can they afford it?"
"Tsk." He Min said, "Didn't you say Xia Mian was very resourceful? How could he not have made tens of thousands of dollars?"
He Wei hesitated, "Isn't this too much?"
"Why are you joking?" He Min said, "It's just a good opportunity to give them back all the money they made."
At this point, she smiled even more happily, "I think this is not only killing two birds with one stone, I'm afraid it will kill many birds with one stone."
He Wei was puzzled.
He Min said happily, "It's just right to see if Young Master Ning will happily spend millions to let her cause trouble."
"You said she overestimated her own abilities and got into trouble, leaving Young Master Ning to clean up a multi-million dollar mess for her. Given Young Master Ning's aversion to trouble, wouldn't he be annoyed with her?"
He Wei seemed to be thinking about something. He Min smiled and said, "Isn't she just pretending to be good in front of Young Master Ning? This time, let's help her and let her reveal her true colors in front of Young Master Ning as soon as possible."
"After Young Master Ning has dealt with them, we can settle our accounts!"
He Wei thought about the humiliation he suffered in the karaoke that day and Mao Huimei's arrogant attitude today, and the hesitation in his heart quickly disappeared.
