Mr. Gu's wife is a little naughty

Chapter 144

In the exotic land of Siam, using Chinese currency is like carrying a touch of exoticism, its eye-catching effect difficult to conceal even with deliberate understatement. The US dollar, once a currency of unparalleled prestige, has become rampant here, losing its former luster. The Chinese currency in Lin Tao's hands not only highlights the holder's extraordinary status, but also invisibly weaves an invisible web of security and status.

The reason why Lin Tao did this was simply to attract the attention of the people here. After all, his purpose of coming here was to attract people from the Kawa tribe.

Finally, shortly after the waiter left with the tip, a man in a suit who looked like the person in charge came to him and stood in front of him respectfully.

"Hello sir, I'm glad you came here. What can I do for you?" the man in the suit said politely.

Lin Tao raised his head slightly and glanced at him sideways, then lowered his head and picked up a piece of dessert from the plate. He looked at the texture of the dessert in the sunlight, nodded with satisfaction, and put it into his mouth.

The man in the suit was not in a hurry and still stood there looking at him respectfully.

"The dim sum is good, although not as good as what I had in China, but it's better than nothing." Lin Tao smacked his lips, wiped his hands and said slowly.

"Of course, we are just a small place after all. We can't compare with the huge country of China." The man in the suit said politely.

Lin Tao raised his head again and looked at the man in the suit, "My friends are very interested in your stuff, but they are not satisfied with the quality here." Lin Tao deliberately exaggerated, with a hint of provocation in his eyes, pointing to the snacks in front of him and said.

The man in the suit was also quite astute. He immediately understood what Lin Tao meant. After a moment's thought, he slowly said, "Of course, this is just where we receive ordinary guests. If you and your friends have higher-level needs, you might as well move to the second floor. Perhaps you can get what you want there."

The man in the suit made room for him as he spoke. Lin Tao followed his figure and looked towards the stairs. "Do you know what you need?"

The man in the suit chuckled and said, "Those who can come here are all discerning people. We will do our best to satisfy you whatever you need."

The man in the suit spoke with confidence, but to Lin Tao, it was ridiculous. In Siam, everyone knew that the real good things were in the hands of the Wangtian tribe. If they hadn't deliberately kept a low profile, it would have been extremely difficult for the other tribes to survive under their control.

"Is anything really okay?"

Lin Tao asked again.

"Of course, but we have many products here that require review and authorization. If you have all of these, sir, I believe your trip will be worthwhile."

Lin Tao nodded again with satisfaction, "Then lead the way!"

The man in the suit hesitated for a moment, looking at Lin Tao with an awkward expression. Lin Tao immediately understood what was going on and took out some documents that he had prepared in advance and handed them to him.

The man in the suit smiled and nodded again, bent down to take it, and examined it carefully.

Lin Tao had stood up at this moment and looked around at everyone in the hall again seriously. No one noticed his situation, so he felt relieved.

"No problem, I just want some ore, I won't make it too difficult for you."

The man in the suit seemed relieved when he heard this. He didn't see anything special in his documents, so he handed it over with both hands.

"Of course, our jadeite rough stones in Siam are also excellent. Please follow me. Here are some samples for you to see."

The man in the suit said this and went ahead to lead the way. Lin Tao didn't think much and followed him up the stairs to the second floor.

The layout of the second floor is completely different from that of the first floor.

If the first floor resembled a casual teahouse, the second floor was a product showroom. Jadeite stones of varying qualities were meticulously displayed in the various treasure cabinets, and Lin Tao even spotted a few American-style rifles.

"Are you still selling this?" Lin Tao asked, pointing at the guns.

The man in the suit was not surprised at all. Almost everyone he brought with him was curious about this. After all, the mandatory management in Siam was quite strict.

"Those are just some Yang Pings, not real ones, but if you need them, we can get them."

The man in the suit continued walking forward, "These are just some ordinary goods. The best stuff is inside. Please follow me, sir."

Lin Tao didn't say much and leisurely followed the man in the suit towards the innermost part.

They walked through a long, narrow corridor, the walls covered in exquisite artwork, each piece appearing exceptionally expensive. Lin Tao nodded secretly, it seemed this place was indeed worthy of its reputation and could attract the kind of people he wanted.

In a small exhibition hall, Lin Tao finally saw the legendary goods. Several pieces of glittering minerals were neatly placed in the display cabinet, looking extremely valuable. Next to them were various handicrafts made by local artisans, a dazzling array of items.

"This is a batch of ore we just received recently. This blue one is particularly rare. Take a look."

Lin Tao pretended to be intrigued by these minerals, involuntarily taking a few steps forward, as if to carefully examine the subtleties of each stone. However, to him, even if these minerals might be considered impressive in the eyes of ordinary people, they were just ordinary things compared to the vast mineral deposits of the Wangtian Clan, not worth mentioning.

Each of these minerals is marked with its origin and price. Some have already been reserved and are specially marked as sold as well as some simple customer information.

Among the ores that had changed hands, Lin Tao's attention was drawn to a particularly striking orange ore. Its color was so pure that it practically shone brightly among the other raw stones. Even the "Sold" label on it seemed unable to conceal its unique brilliance. He noticed that the buyer of this precious gem was a Chinese national named Jiang.

This discovery sent ripples through Lin Tao's heart. In China, the surname Jiang was often closely associated with the prominent Jiang family. He secretly speculated that the buyer was most likely a member of the Jiang family.

Seeing that he was staring at the raw stone that had already been sold, the man in the suit immediately stepped forward and reminded him in a friendly manner.

"Sorry, sir, this piece has been sold."

"Can I talk to this buyer? I really like this stone."

Lin Tao interrupted the man without waiting for him to finish and asked in an urgent tone. He just wanted to create the impression that he really wanted this stone.

"Well..." The man in the suit seemed very embarrassed.

"Why? Is it not possible or inconvenient?" Lin Tao did not give him the opportunity to hesitate and continued, "How much money did he give you? I can add more money. My friends who have painted this will definitely like it."

Lin Tao deliberately emphasized the word "China" to remind him that this was not what he wanted, but was to be given to the Chinese people.

Lin Tao's mind was as clear as a mirror, knowing that in Siam, China's influence far exceeded the scope of the royal family. Here, having a Chinese background or the support of Chinese friends was like holding an invisible pass, allowing you to move freely in this country and become the focus of everyone's attention.
