In the evening.

After dinner with Tang Kai and Liu Qian.

Once he was back home.

Qin Siming immediately called a good friend in Thailand to inquire about a foreign company. Naturally, he decided to ask a local because he had never heard of this company and it wasn’t convenient to inquire about it at the dinner table.

It didn’t take long.

The call connected.

The time zone of Mengyu County is the same as Thailand, so his friend hadn’t gone to bed yet.

”Old Qin, what’s up?” The reply came in the dialect of Sichuan.

Qin Siming liked being addressed in this familiar way, and he also used his friend’s nickname: ”Erhan, help me look into a Thai company, I want to get an idea about its background.”

His friend, named Hu Han, was the second son in his family, thus nicknamed Erhan. He was Qin’s college roommate, a native of Shu City. His parents ran a clothing business in Thailand. After graduating from college, Hu Han followed his parents to Thailand.

He had established a home and a business in Bangkok. His business wasn’t too big but not too small either.

The Chinese community in Thailand couldn’t have been that large.

It stood to reason that Hu Han might know about this company.

”Tell me, which company?” Hu Han, who was watching TV with his wife, asked.

”Kaihua Jewelry Group of Thailand.” Qin Siming read out from the business card in his hand.

”Thailand Kaihua... What? Kaihua Jewelry Group? What do you want to know about this company for?” Hu Han recognized the company after only hearing a few words, mainly because he was used to speaking Thai and his comprehension of Chinese characters was a bit slow.

Qin Siming was pleased that Hu Han seemed to know about it, so he wouldn’t have to wait for the information back at home: ”Nothing much, just that a trader came to invest in our county. The company written on his business card is this one.”

”Is the chairman’s name Tang Kai?” Hu Han hurriedly asked.

”You know him too? What a coincidence.” Qin Siming said with a smile.

After a moment of silence, Hu Han scolded playfully: ”Coincidence my ass, I know him but he doesn’t know me. There’s no Chinese person in Thailand who doesn’t know him, he’s the richest Chinese person in Thailand, lad, you’ve hit the jackpot.”

”The richest Chinese person in Thailand?” Qin Siming asked cautiously, suspecting that he had misheard.

Hu Han said, ”Yeah, one with tens of billions of RMB in assets, and there’s even a rumor that his net worth will soon exceed one hundred billion because he holds the Asian franchise rights of the fruit wine I offered you last time, you can imagine how much he’s making.”

”Really?” Qin Siming was surprised, he didn’t know who the Asian franchise holder of the fruit wine was.

Hu Han disapprovingly said, ”Bullshit, why would I lie to you? You should treat him well, he’s glorifying our Chinese name. I myself have been wanting to meet him but sadly, I’m not up to his standard.

Keep good relations with Boss Tang for me, how well I’m going to do in Thailand largely depends on you. Boss Tang is a big shot with a lot of influence in Thailand.”

His last statement was obviously an attempt to curry favor.

Qin Siming chose to ignore this.

”Are you exaggerating?” Qin Siming said, speechless.

”Not at all. He is the biggest wholesaler of gems and jewelry in Thailand, president of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce in Thailand, and he is said to be well acquainted with the military big shots here, there’s hardly anything he can’t handle. It’s also said that he has an impressive network in Myanmar, doing our Chinese people proud.

Old Qin, maybe I’ll need his help one day.” Fully inheriting the Chinese understanding of relationships, Hu Han eagerly wanted to move up in the world.

”Alright, I get it, gotta go.” Qin Siming said with a bitter smile. A great Buddha was coming and he needed some time to digest.

”Old Qin, you’re hurting my feelings. You move up and ditch me. You ungrateful...” Hu Han was as talkative as when they were in college, and he kept blaming Qin Siming for a while, but it was all in jest.

The two often played like this.

”...”

Qin Siming was speechless. They were not in their youth anymore but still acted so playfully, though, when he thought about it, he really missed those days.

After chatting with Hu Han for a while.

Qin Siming hung up the phone.

He thought for a moment.

Then dialed his father, reporting this situation.
