Chapter 292 Wang Po Selling Melons
With just a sip of tea, Li Huaide was certain that the extraordinary young man before him had a far more profound background than he had expected.
You should know that some good things are simply unavailable unless you reach a certain level of status.
Upon hearing Li Huaide's praise, Li Qin maintained a faint smile.
There was not a trace of pride or arrogance in his expression.
"I only obtained some of this tea by chance. I've already drunk some of it, and there's only a little left."
Otherwise, we would definitely have to give Mr. Li some.
Li Qin said somewhat embarrassedly.
Upon hearing this, Li Huaide quickly waved his hand;
"Mr. Meng, you're too kind. Such fine tea is rare, and I'm already very fortunate to have the opportunity to drink a cup here. I dare not ask for more."
Li Huaide's words were not just politeness; they came from the heart.
He admires people who have self-awareness, and he himself is one of those people.
Li Huaide knew very well that the tea he was drinking was no ordinary tea, and that drinking a cup by chance was enough.
If you were to possess it, it would most likely be a curse rather than a blessing.
Let me explain with the simplest of principles.
Even people of a higher social standing than his father-in-law might not be able to own this level of tea, yet he was able to obtain it.
What do those people think?
Even if Li Huaide gave away the tea, the quantity of tea was limited and could not satisfy everyone.
Those who received tea from Li Huaide were naturally delighted, but one can imagine how those who did not receive tea felt.
Li Huaide had thought it through clearly: in this situation, the best course of action was not to have any inappropriate thoughts about the tea.
Li Qin naturally sensed the sincerity in Li Huaide's tone, and he couldn't help but take a deep look at the other party.
At this moment, Li Qin's understanding of Li Huaide deepened even further.
This is an ambitious, capable, and most importantly, intelligent person.
He increasingly felt that his decision to get involved with Li Huaide was the right one.
While drinking tea, Li Huaide noticed Li Qin's strange gaze and subconsciously asked:
"Is there a problem?"
Li Qin was taken aback at first, but then smiled again.
"It seems Li Qin was right; Mr. Li is indeed very interesting."
Li Qin's tone was full of praise.
Li Huaide naturally noticed it too, and a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.
However, he still humbly shook his head.
At this moment, Li Huaide couldn't help but feel grateful to Li Qin.
It's easy to tell from the words of the person in front of him that Li Qin must have said a lot of good things about himself to the other person.

[Emotional Power +30]
Hearing the system notification in his ear, a look of satisfaction flashed in Li Qin's eyes.
He mentioned his name earlier to let Li Huaide know that Li Qin had put a lot of effort into Li Huaide's affairs.
It can be considered as him promoting himself.
Li Qin didn't feel embarrassed about this.
A purely emotional relationship like his with Li Huaide cannot last, and a purely interest-based relationship would also seem too cold.
That is also not advisable.
Only when interests and emotions interact can their friendship last.
Li Qin is now using this method to deepen Li Huaide's trust in him and to build a closer relationship with him...
Li Qin smiled and glanced at Li Huaide across from him;
"Although I don't have much of the tea we're drinking now, I do have some of the slightly better quality tea."
If Mr. Li needs any, I'll pack some for you to take home and try before you leave.
Upon hearing this, an excited look flashed across Li Huaide's face, and he immediately nodded and thanked him without any hesitation.
"Then thank you very much, Mr. Meng."
Although the other party said it was a slightly inferior tea compared to what we drink now, it is still a rare and excellent tea when it is sold outside.
Li Qin was also very happy at this moment.
Just as Li Huaide had thought, the tea he prepared to send out, though not as good as the best, was still first-class tea.
His gift to Li Huaide was actually just a prelude.
Li Qin believed that once Li Huaide tasted the tea, he would definitely contact him to buy more.
Li Huaide's main purpose in coming here was to discuss the watermelon business, but neither Li Qin nor Li Huaide brought it up after they met.
It was as if the two of them had both forgotten.
Instead, they started chatting.
However, after Li Huaide finished drinking the tea in his cup, his expression suddenly turned serious, and he then spoke:
"Mr. Meng, I believe Li Qin has already told you the purpose of my visit, but I will state it formally here."
Li Qin told me you have a batch of watermelons here, and I hope to buy them. The price is negotiable.
Upon hearing this, Li Qin put down his teacup and then said with a smile:
"These are minor matters. Since Mr. Li needs them, it's fine to give you the watermelon. As for the price, Mr. Li can decide what to pay."
Anyway, I just picked up these watermelons casually; I wasn't initially thinking about making money from them.
At this moment, a conflicted look flashed in Ji Huaide's eyes.
If Li Qin had simply stated a price, even if it was a bit high, Li Huaide would have accepted it without hesitation, given Li Qin's background and influence.
But now Li Qin is telling him to give them whatever he wants, and he has made it clear that these watermelons weren't originally intended to make money.
This put Li Huaide in a difficult position.
If he offers a lower price, he can save some money, but given the magnanimity of the person in front of him, he should agree to the deal without hesitation.
But it will be very difficult to reconnect in the future.
Conversely, if he quotes too high a price, the other party may get more money, but it will also feel somewhat insulting.
After all, it's obvious at a glance that the person in front of you is definitely not short of money.
They wouldn't care about the money they could earn from just a few hundred kilograms of watermelon.
Therefore, his offer cannot be too low, nor can it be too high.
After pondering for a while, Li Huaide suddenly had an idea. He looked up at Li Qin and said in a serious tone.
"In that case, how about I buy these watermelons at the black market price?"
Although watermelons are very scarce in Beijing, it doesn't mean they're unavailable.
It's just that there are very few of them on the market.
Watermelons are also sold on the black market.
Despite the high price, demand still exceeds supply.
As soon as watermelons appear, they are quickly snapped up.
Li Qin had no objection to the price offered by Li Huaide, and he simply nodded and said:
"Let's do as Mr. Li says."
Hearing Li Qin agree, and more importantly, seeing no sign of dissatisfaction from Li Qin, Li Huaide immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
He knew that he had passed the first step, or rather, the first hurdle.
Only if today's conversation satisfies both parties can this relationship be considered truly established.
Only then will he have the opportunity to continue buying things from the other party.
