Siheyuan: Big City, Small Love

Chapter 480 Meeting

Soon the leader gave a speech at the podium, talking about the Canton Fair.

The chief spoke sharply, his voice was clear and loud, and he made vigorous gestures from time to time. He Lai listened carefully to every word of his instructions, fearing that he would miss a word.

Many people also took out small notebooks and began to write down every word the leader said.

After the chief finished speaking, he left the room, probably to go to the lounge. He Lai could see that the chief was exhausted, and if it weren't for his strong will, he would have collapsed long ago.

"He Lai, stop looking at your hands, kid." Li Huaide didn't expect He Lai to attach so much importance to the leader.

"Hehe, this is the hand that the chief has shaken. It's still warm!"

He Lai smiled awkwardly.

"You won't go without washing your hands for three days, will you? I remember many people do this. After shaking hands with the great men, they cannot wash their hands. Then they go back and shake hands with others one by one, which means that the great men have also shaken hands with them." Li Huaide said with a smile.

"Hehe, that's exactly what I meant. I have decided not to wash my hands during my stay in Guangcheng!" He Lai said without any hesitation.

"Okay, okay, you are not serious at all." Li Huaide said with a wry smile.

After the conference, there was a banquet, and Li Huaide brought He Lai to toast everywhere.

I have to say that this old guy Li Huaide is really good. With the help of He Lai's translation, he had a very lively conversation with some foreign businessmen.

When the banquet was over and He Lai walked out of the banquet hall, someone secretly handed him a note.

He Lai didn't open it immediately, but put it in his pocket and went back to the guesthouse.

Back in the room, He Lai opened the note, which said that Lu Zixuan had asked He Lai to meet at Aiqun Building tomorrow at noon.

……

The next day, He Lai changed his appearance and transformed into Wu Qiang, went to Aiqun Building, and entered Lu Zixuan's room.

In the room, Zhuang Shijiu and Lu Zixuan had been waiting for a long time.

"Congratulations, sir." Lu Zixuan was also very happy to see He Lai.

"Well, Zixuan, you are getting more and more energetic." He said, patted his shoulder, motioned him to sit down, and turned to greet Zhuang Shijiu: "Uncle Jiu, long time no see!"

"You little brat, you keep wearing the same mask, be careful or you'll get prickly heat." Zhuang Shijiu joked.

"Hey, I'm well taken care of, so don't worry about me, Uncle Jiu. By the way, how's Uncle Lou doing?"

He Lai asked about Lou Bancheng.

"It's okay. Things have stabilized and I'm taking over his things." Zhuang Shijiu replied.

"That's good. By the way, how much money did you prepare for this trip?"

He Lai asked.

"Why? You don't want to buy those antique jades again, do you?" Zhuang Shijiu asked.

"Mr. He, don't worry, we have a lot of cash and can definitely buy all the antiques."

Lu Zixuan interrupted.

"You can put aside the antiques for now. I have something here. This is it. I hope you can buy more. It would be best if you can sign an agency or something."

He Lai placed the plastic lighter in front of the two of them.

Zhuang Shijiu picked up the lighter and looked at it, saying, "Oh, this is a lighter, I didn't expect China to have this kind of technology!"

"That's what I designed. How about it? It's not bad, right?"

He Lai said with a smile.

"Well, not bad, not bad, this can be designed like this, Xiao Laizi, you are really a genius!"

Zhuang Shijiu played with it for a while and then gave the plastic lighter to Lu Zixuan.

"Mr. He, what are you going to do?" Lu Zixuan also tried it and found it quite good.

"I want to be the sole agent. Right now the production of these plastic lighters is a bit low. I want you to talk to my superiors and see if I can get them to sell all these lighters to you.

What you need to do is to promote this lighter to the world as soon as possible.

As you can see, this lighter is made of plastic and has some small parts. The cost is very low. I want to sell it quickly and make a lot of money before there are any counterfeiters."

He Lai narrated.

"What's the price?" Lu Zixuan asked.

"I estimate that it should be possible to get it for 20 or 30 Hong Kong dollars. Actually, you still need to discuss this with the leaders and find a way for me to expand production. This product will occupy a large market in the future."

He Lai explained.

"Okay, I'll try my best." Lu Zixuan replied.

"Also, you can put some patterns on the plastic lighter shell to make it easier for you to sell it."

He Lai instructed.

"Okay, I understand." Lu Zixuan nodded.

"Xiao Laizi, you are really good, you know everything!

Do you know how popular the bell-bottom pants you designed are now? Almost the whole world is buying them!

Elvis Presley wore these bell-bottom pants when he performed everywhere, and they became popular all of a sudden. Now Lao Lou, Zixuan and I have been making these pants all the time, and the money has been flowing into our pockets like water. Haha..."

Zhuang Shijiu laughed happily.

"Really? That's a good thing. Then Uncle Jiu and you guys should take advantage of this trend and expand your jeans business. Also, we should pay more attention to what these big stars wear. If we think the clothes are desirable, we must make them. After all, the future will definitely be an era of chasing stars."

He Lai replied with a smile.

"Okay, okay, I'll send people to keep an eye on these big stars."

Zhuang Shijiu agreed immediately.

"By the way, Zixuan, how are the sandals and slippers I asked you to make?" He Lai asked about the plastic sandals again.

"It took two months to develop it, and now it has been gradually put on the market, with good returns."

Lu Zixuan replied.

"Well, remember to find more designers, design more styles, and do a good public survey to see which style is the most popular. People from all walks of life should be surveyed."

He Lai ordered.

"Okay, congratulations." Lu Zixuan agreed.

"Well, I can't be out for too long. I have to go back. Anyway, my request is that you try to eat this plastic lighter. This thing should have a lot of profit margins."

He Lai said before leaving.

"Okay, we know about this matter." Zhuang Shijiu replied.

……

After leaving the Aiqun Building, He Lai changed back to his original appearance and returned to the Canton Fair exhibition hall.

"Hey, you can eat like a fool and disappear like a fool! Are you going somewhere to enjoy yourself again?"

When Zhang Zhiwen saw He Lai coming back, he immediately locked his neck and said.

"Haha, Brother Zhiwen, stop making trouble. The workers are watching us. I just went to the street where Ke'er lived to ask if there was any trace of her mother."

He Lai explained.

"Hey, what's there to ask? I've already inquired about it. She must have run away abroad with a strange man. This kind of woman is simply a scum! She can even abandon her own flesh and blood." Zhang Zhiwen immediately said indignantly.

"I just want to see if she will change her mind. After all, she is the biological mother of Ke'er and her children. Don't say that. It is difficult for a weak woman with no skills and no strength to raise two children."

He Lai tried to explain it for her.

"You... forget it, forget it, let's not talk about her, it's unlucky. The store will open tomorrow, so don't run around. Xu Damao just came to see you and wanted you to help him look around the showroom."

Zhang Zhiwen waved his hand and ended the topic of Ke'er's mother.

"What's so good about the grinding mills? They're just a few big machines, just put them there. Let them do whatever they want. I'd better sit here and take a rest."

He Lai felt that Xu Damao was completely idle and had nothing to do, so he wanted to chat with him!
