Chapter 322 - Agreed

However, Chen Yang didn’t care about these things; he was here to talk business, not to watch what kind of expressions the other party put on.

Chen Yang ignored Gu Ming and that woman’s conversation.

His gaze was fixed on the noblewoman.

Seeing that the noblewoman did not scold Gu Ming and that woman for speaking, Chen Yang knew that the noblewoman shared their sentiments.

So, it was at this point that Chen Yang shifted his gaze back to Gu Ming and responded with a cold laugh, “Heh, is it that I lack sincerity, or is it that you’re offering too little?

You should have a number in mind, right?”

Gu Ming was already at odds with Chen Yang, and the apology just now had left him feeling aggrieved.

“What number?

We’ve already offered two million!

How much more do you want?”

Gu Ming said somewhat excitedly.

“I don’t know how much I want, but I do know that the land’s value definitely can’t be bought for two million!”

Chen Yang said with a hint of playfulness.

He did not initiate a price offer because he didn’t know the land’s specific value; he intended to gauge the real bottom line indirectly.

Sure enough, after Chen Yang’s words, the expressions on the faces of the noblewoman, Gu Ming, and the young girl all changed subtly.

“Mr.

Chen, this makes things difficult for us.

If you don’t even know how much you want, how can we negotiate?

We can’t just keep increasing the offer, can we?”

After their faces changed slightly, the noblewoman laughed as she spoke, once again kicking the ball back into Chen Yang’s court.

“Right, Chen Yang, you should have a rough idea of how much you want to sell for, otherwise how can we talk?”

At this point, the town mayor also spoke up, hoping that Chen Yang would name a price so that both sides could discuss further.

But Chen Yang still did not give a price.

“Heh, the value of that land, you’re very clear about it, and so am I, it definitely can’t be bought for just two million!

General Manager, please offer a price with some sincerity, after all, we’re all straightforward people.”

Chen Yang cheekily alluded indirectly.

Upon hearing this, the noblewoman’s expression turned serious, “Heh, it seems, Mr.

Chen, that you’ve done some research and surveying on that piece of land, haven’t you?”

Chen Yang nodded confidently, “Indeed, I’ve done some research, and quite extensively at that, the mine veins below are very valuable.”

When he said the word ‘valuable’, Chen Yang’s tone intensified a bit.

This caused the expressions of Gu Ming and the noblewoman to become complicated.

From their conversation just now, they understood that Chen Yang must know that it was a gold mine.

After some contemplation, the noblewoman no longer harbored any hopes of acquiring the land at a low price.

“Since Mr.

Chen knows about the land, I won’t beat around the bush, a flat rate, five million!”

The noblewoman declared emphatically.

Without waiting for Chen Yang to react, she immediately added, “The mine vein below that piece of land is indeed very valuable, but we have no clear idea of how extensive the reserves are, so five million is our bottom line.”

The noblewoman’s face was no longer smiling, transformed instead into full seriousness.

She locked eyes firmly with Chen Yang, as if this were genuinely her bottom line.

And when Chen Yang heard the five million, he truly was tempted.

From one hundred thousand to five million, it wasn’t a low offer.

Moreover, this five million was something he very much needed now, as it was half of ten million in assets.

Just a nod and a ten million deal was possible.

Chen Yang was slightly excited inside, and Wu Kexin, after being shocked, also became excited.

“Chen Yang, the price of five million isn’t low, I think it’s about right,”

While excited, she whispered in Chen Yang’s ear.

“I’ve got it in mind.”

Chen Yang nodded and replied to Wu Kexin, then turned to the noblewoman, “Since we’re not clear about the extent of reserves, let’s do this!”

“Five million cash, and then give me one percent of what you excavate, how about that?

This way, neither side has to fear taking a loss.”

Chen Yang spoke with a natural demeanor.

Chen Yang’s unchanging expression tightened the noblewoman’s heart.

At the same time, she also couldn’t help but respect Chen Yang a lot more within.

On her way here, she thought of him as just an ordinary farmer, and that an offer of two million would surely be enough to seal the deal.

But she had never anticipated that Chen Yang’s endurance would be so strong.

Even after I’d upped the offer to five million, he still didn’t accept it straightforwardly but put forth conditions.

Such a tough negotiator.

“General Manager, what do you think?

If you can agree, we can sign the contract now,”

Seeing the well-dressed lady hesitating to speak, Chen Yang prompted her.

“Hehehe.”

The well-dressed lady suddenly laughed after being urged by Chen Yang.

Her face no longer held that serious expression.

“It’s really unexpected, to find such an astute person like Mr.

Chen in a simple mountain village.”

The well-dressed lady’s comment sounded like it could be either praise or sarcasm directed at Chen Yang, but that wasn’t the point.

The point was that after she said those words, she nodded in agreement.

“Since Mr.

Chen has put it that way, let’s go with your suggestion, five million in cash, plus one percent of all mined quantities!”

The well-dressed lady was very decisive; she hesitated only slightly before nodding in agreement.

“Mother…”

Seeing the well-dressed lady agree, Gu Ming suddenly became excited as if he was not satisfied with the outcome.

He wanted to say something.

But the well-dressed lady glared at him, and he obediently sat back down and didn’t say another word.

“The General Manager sure is straightforward.”

Chen Yang gave a smile, then added, “Since we’ve come to an agreement, let’s sign the contract now.”

“Okay…

okay!

Let’s sign the contract.”

The mayor by their side nodded somewhat bewilderedly.

He was shocked by the outcome of the negotiation; he hadn’t expected that a piece of barren mountain land would sell for over five million…

Surprised as he was, the mayor still had his composure.

After both parties reached an agreement, he immediately went out and before long returned with the thick land transfer and contracting agreement.

“This contract is for both sides.

Please look over it, and if there are no issues, you can sign it,”

said the mayor.

Chen Yang and the well-dressed lady both nodded, took the contracts, and started reading them carefully.

About ten minutes or so passed, and both had finished reviewing the contracts.

There were basically no issues.

“Alright, if there are no problems, let’s sign,”

the mayor said with a smile.

Afterward, Chen Yang and the well-dressed lady both signed.

Chen Yang also handed over the land contracting agreement he’d brought to the mayor.

Once the signatures were done, Chen Yang also provided the well-dressed lady with a bank account for payment.

About four or five minutes later, five million had been deposited into the account!

With the signatures done and the money transferred, the land was officially transferred to the Gu Family.

After the successful transaction, the Gu family collectively breathed a sigh of relief, and a small, furtive joy could be seen on everyone’s faces.

It was almost imperceptible if you didn’t look closely.

“Mr.

Chen, it’s been a pleasure doing business.”

At that moment, the well-dressed lady stood up first, wanting to shake hands with Chen Yang.

Chen Yang stood up and shook her hand, then they exchanged a few pleasantries.

After briefly discussing matters related to Chen Yang’s future shares, everyone left the conference room together.

“Mr.

Chen, you’re a smart man.

I’m sure we’ll have more opportunities to work together in the future.”

As they were walking downstairs, the well-dressed lady chatted politely with Chen Yang.

Hearing this, Chen Yang just smiled and didn’t respond.
