327 Would He Be Beaten to Death by His Dad? (1/2)
”Ah? We're suffering a loss? I'm not very sensitive to figures. Oh right, how much money did my dad spend when he bought those lands?” Hong Dali looked at Ling Xiaoyi. ”I'm really not very sure about this. He didn't spend too much, right?”
”He didn't spend much when buying it,” Ling Xiaoyi said in trepidation. ”He spent almost 1.2 billion or so… But if these lands are properly developed, they would increase at least ten times more within a few years time, then it'd be around 12 billion or so. Now they being sold for only 7 billion… this…”
If Master got to know about this, I might as well drown myself in the river…
Tears rained down Ling Xiaoyi's face.
”Oh, then, didn't it increase 7 or 8 times now as well, it's not a small amount.” Hong Dali grinned and nodded. ”We must learn how to be content, heh heh. It's not a big problem, not a big problem.”
”O… OK…” Ling Xiaoyi said in trepidation, ”Young Master, why don't you discuss it for a while with Master, or else I'll… You know, if we just sell it like that without getting Master's approval, it'd easily cause trouble…”
”Mm, that's true.” Hong Dali thought for a while. ”Then let's contact him after we finish selling it later. There's no rush.”
After it's all sold, the deal would long be closed by then. What would be left to discuss then! Looks like Young Master is bent on squandering this time!
…
Outside.
Li Yuankai was so anxious that his hand which was holding onto the phone trembled. ”Young Master, that prodigal Hong Dali said… he said…”
Ko Gohon asked in a deep voice, ”What did he say? He's not willing to sell the lands? If he's not willing to, then increase the price. I'm still able to pay this small sum of money, feel free to negotiate on that.”
”N… No…” Li Yuankai felt that there was too much information to take in today. ”That prodigal Hong Dali said that he can sell all the lands under his name at one go, but the price he's asking for is quite high. 7 billion…”
”Is that so!” Ko Gohon excitedly exclaimed, ”Buy them, buy them all! Once he sells all these lands, he'd be like a general without an army. What would he have to fight with me in the future? Hahaha, this prodigal, I suddenly feel that it's quite beneath my status to fight with him!”
”Young Master, we'll buy it even if it costs 7 billion?” Li Yuankai asked again. ”If you're really prepared to buy it, then I'll go and tell him right away!”
”Buy it, we must buy it!” Ko Gohon firmly said, ”West Fourth Loop, the project which the nation is going to develop on, it won't be a loss no matter what! Buy, buy them all!”
”OK! Then I'll do that right away!” Li Yuankai was instantly injected with confidence. ”Young Master, wait for my good news!”
”OK! Quickly go!”
…
Li Yuankai returned to the small conference room. This time, with Ko Gohon backing him up, he was very confident. He held his head high and said, ”Young Master, I've asked the finance department of my company and learned that I have sufficient funds for the transaction this time.” As he spoke, he took out a contract. Looks like he'd come prepared and deeply understood the importance of acting fast and that he had to get this thing done before Hong Dali's father, Hong Weiguo, found out. Thus, he was already prepared for all possible scenarios.
Speaking of which, this fellow had just addressed Ko Gohon as Young Master, and now he'd addressed Hong Dali as Young Master as well, totally the typical example of serving two masters at once!
”Mm, not bad, quite efficient.” Afterward, what Hong Dali said instantly made Li Yuankai depressed. ”The problem is that you've spent quite a long time on the call just now… 7.5 billion then…”
Damn you! One call is worth 500 million!
Li Yuankai's hands instantly trembled. ”Young Master, you can't make such a joke. You can't do this…”
”Oh, then I'm not selling it…” Hong Dali was rather troubled. ”Speaking of which, the procedures are quite troublesome…”
”Don't! Don't!” Upon hearing Hong Dali's words, Li Yuankai was instantly anxious. ”Young Master, wait a moment, I'll go and make another call!”
Li Yuankai sped out of the room and took out his phone, his voice trembling as he said, ”Young Master, Hong Dali has increased the price of the land to 7.5 billion. if I don't agree to it, he won't sell it. What should I do?”
”Idiot!” Ko Gohon instantly scolded. ”Trash, can you do your job well? Buy it! Buy it regardless of the price!”
Li Yuankai went back to the room. ”Young Master, I'll buy it at 7.5 billion!”
