Chapter 89: 89. Is it too late to add another 100,000?
Now that I can contact Zane Boting, did he bring a larger piece this time?
What's this called?
That's called being clever!
In business, those who aren't clever don't survive, while those who do are the real leaders!
Although Boting had an idea of what was happening, he wouldn't say anything to make anyone uncomfortable.
Under Zane Boting's hopeful gaze, Jason Liu took out the shoebox from yesterday once more.
Zane Boting's face remained calm, like a still pond, because he was already used to this unique experience!
Soon, the gold, which was almost twice the size of yesterday's piece, revealed itself.
With Jason Liu's permission, Zane Boting put on gloves, checked it carefully, and confirmed it was indeed natural dog head gold.
Then, in front of both parties, the weight was measured: 4,790 grams.
"Mr. Liu, I want to buy this piece of gold from you!" Zane Boting removed his gloves and adjusted his glasses with a satisfied smile. "This is our second time working together, and I want to be straightforward. The price is 8.5 million!"
He didn't want to go back and forth with Jason Liu like yesterday, talking endlessly. As the general manager of a company with assets worth tens of billions, he had better things to do!
So, he offered a very fair price, and even Jason Liu thought it was reasonable.
However, Mr. Zane, being more experienced, wanted to negotiate a bit more. "Mr. Zane, the price is good, and I see your sincerity! How about I don't ask for much more—let's make it 8.7 million. If you agree, I'll sell it to you!"
I added 200,000 to my initial offer. Although that didn't seem too much to Zane Boting, it still felt a bit awkward.
Damn, I shouldn't have mentioned our second collaboration. I wanted to be honest, but now I'm increasing the price by 200,000!
I can't believe I'm feeling this way!
Despite feeling a little unhappy, Zane Boting didn't show it at all. He pretended to think for a moment and then nodded, "Okay, for Mr. Liu's consideration in our second collaboration, 8.7 million it is! I hope in the future, if you acquire any dog head gold, you'll sell it to us!"
I initially thought this was a long shot, but I didn't expect to get an increase of 200,000!
Did I lower the price myself?
Hmm... If I say now that I want to add another 100,000, would it be too late?
That thought quickly vanished from Jason Liu's mind. It was better to complete the transaction honestly.
After all, the person sitting across from him was a second-generation heir with assets worth billions. It wouldn't be wise to push too hard and risk losing everything.
After some transfer operations, Jason Liu's ICBC card now held a staggering 12.7 million.
He could finally confidently say he had tens of millions in assets.
While sitting in President Zane's office, enjoying some tea, Zane Boting completed the transaction and planned to serve tea to his guest.
However, after making a few trips to bring the tea, he hinted that "brother is very busy, so if you don't have anything else, you can leave whenever."
But young Mr. Liu didn't seem to catch that at all; he was contentedly sipping his tea.
After a few cups, Jason Liu wasn't ignoring Zane Boting's subtle hints to leave; he was just hesitant. Should he take this chance to sell the last precious "bull gold" piece to him as well?
Compared to the smaller goal of nearly 100 million, that piece of gold seemed small and insignificant.
He was eager to sell it right away!
"Mr. Liu, since we've finished our business discussions, if you're busy, I won't keep you!" Zane Boting finally couldn't hold back and spoke up.
If he hadn't just received a large amount of money, he would have cut this conversation short long ago.
Finally, Jason Liu made up his mind; it was better to act quickly.
"Mr. Zane, I wanted to ask if I have a larger and more valuable piece of gold, would you be interested?" Jason Liu looked directly at him.
"Something else?" Zane Boting was genuinely surprised now, his eyes widening and his mouth slightly open in shock, but his mind raced with questions.
Didn't they say dog head gold was incredibly rare?
Why did this young man randomly bring out two pieces and then claim he had a bigger and more precious one? What's going on in this world?
Realizing he was too shocked, Zane Boting reached for the teapot to pour another cup for Mr. Liu.
When he lifted the pot, he realized it was empty.
So, he smiled awkwardly and called out to his lovely secretary, "Secretary Cai, hurry and make another pot of tea, and use the best Dahongpao I got from Wuyi last time!"
Secretary glanced at Jason Liu, surprised. She didn't understand why Mr. Zane was treating him with such importance; he usually didn't allow her to make tea with such fine Dahongpao!
After sending the secretary off to prepare the tea, Zane Boting smiled warmly, "Ah, Mr. Liu, you must try the superb Dahongpao I managed to get; I promise it's delicious! Once it's brewed, let's discuss your larger and more valuable piece, how about that?"
What could Jason Liu say? Of course, he agreed with a smile, though internally, he couldn't stop feeling frustrated!
What an experience!
It's incredible how realistic capitalists can be!
He wasn't eager to send people away just moments ago, but once he heard something interesting, he quickly prepared good tea. It's all too true!
When Secretary Cai returned with the so-called top-quality Dahongpao, Jason Liu took a cup at the invitation of Zane Boting and sipped.
Then he took another sip.
And a third sip.
Honestly, he didn't know how to evaluate tea, so he couldn't tell if this so-called top-quality Dahongpao was any different from the tea he had just had.
It all tasted the same to him!
Zane Boting seemed to be enjoying himself, wearing a proud expression, "So, Mr. Liu, what do you think? Isn't my superb Dahongpao amazing?"
Jason Liu glanced at his teacup and nodded with a forced smile, "Ha, haha, yes, it's good, very good flavor!"
Pleased with the compliment, Zane Boting beamed. This kind of Dahongpao was rare, and he had acquired it through many connections.
