1243. Distinction
"Can you contact those village heads?"
Li Yifan turned his head and looked at Tian Qing and asked. Tian Qing nodded, looking a little satisfied.
"Of course."
"Okay, tomorrow you will make an appointment with all their important heads and minds, and I will meet them."
"Okay, no problem."
Tian Qing looked at Li Yifan with a little surprise. This kid was a little brave, not the kind of guy who only knew how to escape.
At noon the next day, at the Hilton Hotel in the provincial capital, Li Yifan sat in a large private room with a large private room with a large area, which could accommodate twenty or thirty people to have a meal together.
At noon, the door of the private room was pushed open from outside, and then, under Tian Qing's leadership, more than a dozen people walked in one after another.
All of these people are not tall and have the characteristics of farmers. They have dark faces and ravines, but their dressing makes Li Yifan a little unexpected.
It is not the pure farmer dress I imagined, and they all wear very well. Some suits and ties, some jackets and trousers look a bit more stylish. It seems that they are all better characters in the village.
But when you think about it again, it is not surprising. After all, these are the local tyrants in the villages. And according to Tian Qing, these people have secretly started small mines before, and each of them should not be short of money, so they are not as shabby as they imagined.
When the group came in, they were clearly divided into two groups. One was led by a stout man in his thirties and walked to Tian Qing's left hand.
The other group was led by an old man in his fifties and walked to Tian Qing's right hand.
Both groups of people were blindly squinting and did not communicate with each other. Sometimes, sparks could be sparked when they exchanged eyes. It seemed that what Tian Qing said was true, and the two groups had deep hatred.
"Haha, Brother Laotian, Village Chief Laodao, this is what I mentioned to you, Mr. Li, who came from the capital, represents the Canadian Northwest Mining Company."
Li Yifan had already stood up and came to the group of people. Tian Qing quickly brought the two leading people to him and introduced them to them.
"Hello, Mr. Li, you are a noble person! You can really think that you are young and promising!"
Lao Dao is the old man in his fifties. His hair is gray, his face is full of gullies, his skin is dark, and his big hands are covered with calluses. He holds Li Yifan's hands and shakes them vigorously, which is very powerful.
Li Yifan laughed: "Where, where? I dare not be, I dare not be. Lao Dao Village Chief, at such an old age and in such good health, can be considered to be stronger!"
Seeing that the middle-aged strong man next to Li Yifan was so close, Lao Tian looked contemptuous: "Hmph! Flatter!"
Although the voice is small, it can be heard by several people nearby. Although Lao Dao is old, he has a hot temper.
"The surname is Tian, do you think of that?"
Village Chief Tian didn't give in at all, rolled his eyes: "Who is licking the Han people's asshole, am I talking about that?"
As soon as he said this, not only did the old knife change his face, but also Tian Qing and Li Yifan change their faces. They were all Han people in the room.
What does this guy mean? Do you still want to engage in racism?
Lao Dao was about to attack on the spot. The men behind him also glared at the other group of men, and seemed to be about to take action when the old village chief gave the order.
The old knife was about to attack, but he felt that the little white-faced hand that was originally held by him suddenly turned into a pair of steel pliers, firmly earning his hand and preventing him from attacking.
This surprised him very much. He originally looked at the little white face from the capital, so he said a few words of politeness. When he just held his hand, his hands were thin, white, soft and weak. A mountain man like him always advocated power, so he didn't take Li Yifan seriously at all.
But at this time, he reached out and a huge force came, which made him unable to move, and he immediately had to look at this young man with admiration.
It turns out that people should not behave like appearances, and the sea water should not be measured.
"Haha, Brother Tian, today I treat you. I wonder if I can give you some face. Besides, if there is a fight in such a place, it will be a big shame. Do you think?"
Li Yifan smiled and said to the old Tian, "The old Tian is named Tian Zhuang, he is an Yi man and a new generation of patriarchs of the Yi villages behind him."
As his name suggests, he is thick and strong, and seems to be very unfriendly to his own group, which makes him feel a little unhappy.
However, considering that he is here to do business today, he did not have an attack on the spot.
After he made a smooth move, Tian Zhuang was a little surprised. He didn't expect that this guy had such good cultivation, but since he was not angry, he was not inconvenient to have an attack.
So he groaned and stopped talking.
Li Yifan laughed, then asked everyone to sit down, and a large round table, the two groups clearly sat at the two ends, and then they all glared at each other, and the whole banquet was filled with gunpowder.
Tian Qing was a little worried, afraid that the two groups would have disagreements, so he started fighting on the spot. Looking at Li Yifan, he was calm and calm, and poured tea for Lao Dao and Tian Zhuang who were sitting on both sides of him, and from time to time he would tease a few jokes to make a few jokes.
Lao Dao is an old fox. He has done a good job in human relationships and worldly styles and can cater to Li Yifan's words. However, Tian Zhuang is much worse in this regard. Although his attitude has eased, he always maintains a serious attitude. His face is already dark, and at this time he looks even more black-headed and doesn't know what he is thinking.
"Okay, everyone came out of the mountains and took the bus for a long time. At this time, they should be hungry. Let's have dinner first and waiter serve the food."
Li Yifan shouted to the two waiters who were nervously standing at the gate, and then the waiter quickly left the private room as if he was running for his life. After a while, all kinds of high-end meals were served up like flowing water mats.
The men in the mountains are rough and have no scheming. Although these are all village heads and are considered to be a little money, the five-star hotels in the province are not something they can afford.
The food here is indeed quite unique, and it is very pleasing to these guys. Since the owner has said it, why are they still polite? They all flew up and down in their hands, and the table is soon filled with wind and clouds.
Seeing these people eating, Li Yifan smiled slightly in his heart. This is the true nature of these people.
Lao Dao saw the smile on Li Yifan's face, and then he was a little embarrassed. He obviously felt that the group of people who followed him were a little unavailable. He coughed twice, but the effect was not very good.
However, Tian Zhuang, who was sitting on the other side, seemed to be very relaxed. The chopsticks in his hand were flying up and down, and the food was filled with foam.
Soon the table was like a typhoon sweeping past, leaving only a mess. Because we had to talk about things later, no one drank.
When Li Yifan saw that everyone had almost eaten and drunk, he cleared his throat and rinsed twice. Only then did the group of people concentrate back.
"Are you satisfied with today's reception? Are you all full? If you are not full, let them add a few more dishes?"
Li Yifan asked with a little politeness. In fact, there were a few of the thick men below who were not full, but their leader, Lao Dao and Tian Zhuang, did not speak, and they did not dare to say anything.
"Okay, it seems that everyone is full. Since they are full, we will start to talk about the main business. Today, we invite everyone here. Why, everyone must be very clear. I am here on behalf of Northwest Mining Company. You must be clear about the wealth buried under the land of your village. This time we are just here to do a preliminary exploration and inspection. We mainly want to find out how much reserves your mine has. After the reserves are cleared, we can start negotiations and discuss prices and other things. So this time, we are invited to say hello to everyone and see if you have any opinions? If not, my exploration team will be able to explore and inspect on your land tomorrow. I wonder what your intentions are?"
Li Yifan said very politely. He wanted to deal with these mines, but he also didn't want to be a sucker. After all, you have to figure out what the reserves of these mines are and whether they are worth developing, so that you can discuss what will happen next.
Lao Dao agrees with this question.
"No problem, you can send someone tomorrow, and we are ready to welcome you. If there is not enough staff or if you need help, just say hello to the villagers."
Lao Dao is the patriarch of the Miao villages, and is also the village chief of the largest Miao village. He has great prestige in the hearts of these people. His words mean that all the Miao people here are, and no one is opposed by anyone.
When he arrived at Tian Zhuang, there seemed to be some problem. Lao Dao agreed very happily, but Lao Tian did not say anything at all. Li Yifan's eyes turned and looked at Tian Zhuang.
"Mr. Li, what price do you Northwest Mining plan to pay for these mines? And after you take down the mine, how do you plan to operate it?"
Tian Zhuang is a thorn, but Li Yifan is not afraid of him.
"First of all, I want to talk about the price issue, it's hard to say now. After all, it depends on your mineral reserves. We need to do cost accounting to set the later price. The second issue is the same as above. We must wait until the mineral reserves are found before we can discuss it."
"Crash!"
