Chapter 146

The man in the suit hesitated for a moment before saying, "Sir, I'll try my best to help you make the connection, but this buyer has a complex background and special needs."

Lin Tao smiled slightly, his tone still friendly. "Then tell him that I'm an interesting person and that I might be able to bring him unexpected opportunities for cooperation. Besides, if a piece of ore can bring him greater benefits, why wouldn't he do it?"

The man in the suit seemed unmoved and indifferent to the request. His tone was full of unquestionable determination: "I'm sorry, sir, I really can't do anything about this matter."

Lin Tao already had a vague idea in mind. He nodded gently, his gaze wandering between the well-arranged counters. After a careful search, his eyes finally locked onto several priceless pieces of rough stone, and without hesitation, he placed a 50 million yuan order for ore and rubber.

Such a huge deal was definitely not something a man in a suit could easily decide. As expected, a higher-ranking and more composed figure soon appeared in their sight.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, my distinguished guest."

The visitor was none other than Puwang, the son of the Kawa tribe's chieftain. As mentioned earlier, in Siam, the vast majority of commercial lifelines are firmly controlled by the Wangtian clan, who hold royal blood. The remaining smaller tribes can only barely survive under their immense shadow, seeking sporadic business opportunities. Today's scene, with transactions often worth tens of millions, is truly rare. In the past, only the visit of a distinguished member of the Jiang family could rival this grand occasion.

Lin Tao knew Puwang, of course, but Puwang couldn't quite fathom the man before him. Lin Tao's attire was no different from the locals, simple yet respectable. But in Siam, Puwang had a detailed account of all the individuals capable of such lavish spending. The man before him was unfamiliar, and for a moment, he was somewhat skeptical of Lin Tao's identity.

It wasn't until the suited subordinate whispered that Lin Tao seemed to have a strong Chinese connection that Puwang's doubts finally dissipated. He thought the Chinese friend this mysterious figure was talking about must be someone very important. Who knows, maybe one day they'll actually run into each other somewhere.

Thinking this way, Puwang did not dare to slack off at all, and did not have the airs of a clan leader's son at all.

Lin Tao recognized Puwang. He was very confident in his disguise skills and was not worried at all that he would be exposed, so he appeared very calm.

"Originally, I planned to give the rough stone I had chosen as a gift to my dear friend back in China. However, the local customs seem unkind. You're unwilling to give me the slightest bit of courtesy, not even a chance to negotiate with the buyer. This truly makes me feel a little disappointed. Having said that, the quality of the ore in your shop is quite high-quality. So, I'll have to force myself to choose some as a consolation."

Lin Tao's seemingly casual words stirred a wave of emotion in Puwang. He knew that such a generous and graceful buyer would not stop there. Although he felt a little regretful that someone else had already snatched up the rough stone, Puwang knew that every encounter with a unique buyer could hold more opportunities for cooperation.

Seeing the embarrassment on Puwang's face, Lin Tao couldn't help but smile subtly. If a mere fifty million couldn't bring the hidden buyer to light, he wouldn't mind adding another chip. After all, he had no doubt that the money would eventually return to him. He had absolute confidence in this land of Siam. No matter which faction, no one would easily challenge the dignity of the Wangtian Clan for an outsider. Even the forces from distant China would find it difficult to shake this unwritten rule.

"Since you have a special liking for this stone, why don't I, Puwang, help you and act as a matchmaker?" Puwang put on a smile and approached Lin Tao. "In three days, my tribe will hold a grand reception. Distinguished guests from all over will gather to share this rare gathering. I think I can take this opportunity to personally introduce you to the mysterious buyer - maybe we can find a chance?"

Lin Tao's eyes lit up, he clapped his hands and said with a smile: "This is indeed a good idea. After all, face-to-face conversations can always provide a glimmer of hope. If the other party is ultimately unwilling to give up, then I can only..." He paused, spread his hands, and made a helpless little gesture, with a hint of self-mockery in his relief.

"Yes, yes, sir, you are absolutely right." Puwang nodded in agreement.

"If that's the case, then it's settled!" Lin Tao stood up decisively, his movements unmistakable. Pu Wang saw this and quickly winked at the man in the suit behind him. The man understood and quickly stepped forward, handing over the contract he had already prepared.

"Sir, please look at this..." Puwang handed the contract to Lin Tao. This was the purchase contract for the raw stones and rubber that Lin Tao had previously taken a fancy to. Before, Lin Tao had only talked about it and had not signed the contract. Seeing that he was about to leave, Puwang hurried over.

"Sir, please take a look at this..." Puwang gently pushed the heavy contract toward Lin Tao. It detailed the purchase of the rough stone and rubber that Lin Tao had previously spotted. At the time, Lin Tao had only mentioned it casually, not delving into it, let alone signing anything. Now, seeing Lin Tao about to leave, Puwang, anxious, hurried forward.

Lin Tao just glanced at it lightly without making any comment, then leisurely took out a bank card from his pocket and gently placed it in Puwang's palm. At the same time, he also put the contract into his arms.

Puwang quickly handed his bank card to the man in a suit standing beside him. The man skillfully swiped the card across the POS machine, and everything seemed to flow naturally and smoothly.

Lin Tao raised the corner of his mouth slightly and signed his name on it proudly - Patch!

This name is very common and popular in Thailand, just like Da Niu and Xiao Er in China. Even if you want to find out the origin of this name, it is not so easy.

When Puwang saw Lin Tao sign and swipe the card, he felt relieved. He respectfully saw Lin Tao out, left his contact information, and waited for the dinner three days later.

Lin Tao once again stepped onto the streets, his steps filled with an undisguised lightness, secretly congratulating himself on the fruitful outcome of his trip. Not only had he successfully resolved the challenge of reaching the Kawa people, but he had also unexpectedly gained valuable intelligence from his spies. It truly was a win-win situation, a journey well worthwhile. However, this joy didn't let him relax for a moment.

He did not rush back to the hotel, but wandered around the street for a long time, and even went to the slums, in order to prevent someone from following him.

While strolling around the slums, he sent a text message to Tian Tian, ​​telling her the general situation there and asking her not to leave the hotel for the time being and to decide on the next steps after he had settled the matter of the clothing store.
