Chapter 1455 One Hundred Billion!
Inside the study, several smiling tycoons sat on the sofa, all dressed in handmade suits and leather shoes. Their status was self-evident, being major figures from the capital.
Though their status did not match that of the Nine Gates of the capital, they were still well-known influential individuals.
A mere stomp of their feet would shake the capital.
"Our Su family in the capital has several plots of land outside the fifth ring road in the western suburbs, which are of great commercial value. If we invest, it will surely have excellent commercial prospects. What do you gentlemen think of this piece of land?"
Su Tianhuang glanced at the tycoons. His expression was relatively natural.
Although these people were insignificant figures in front of him in the past, times had changed. He dared not put on airs, but his inherent arrogance prevented him from fawning over them.
"It's quite good."
"However, developing it now is a bit difficult."
"You see, it's adjacent to the mountains, making landslides a possibility."
"Also, the transportation here isn't very convenient."
The tycoons were all shrewd individuals, picking fault with everything.
The few drawbacks they mentioned were, in fact, not drawbacks at all.
"Then, you all discuss and see what price you can offer!"
Su Tianhuang said with some reluctance.
These plots of land were Su Tianhuang's only remaining assets. He wanted to sell them to try and salvage the situation; he was making one last desperate attempt.
The tycoons exchanged glances, then went outside to discuss. They returned shortly after.
"Gentlemen, have you reached an agreement?"
"We've discussed it. We believe we can offer twenty billion."
"What? Twenty billion?" Su Tianhuang exclaimed.
"Yes, twenty billion..." The tycoon seemed to feel the offer was too low, lacking confidence.
"Do you know how much our Su family in the capital spent on this land five years ago, even at its lowest price?"
Before they could answer, Su Tianhuang continued, "Thirty-five billion!"
"Now, adjacent land that is smaller and less convenient than this has already sold for fifty to sixty billion! And you are offering me twenty billion!"
One tycoon sneered, "Patriarch Su, times have changed. When your Su family in the capital was at its peak, your land would be worth one hundred billion. But now that your Su family in the capital has declined, this money is your lifeline!"
"You continue to have this capital, while we don't particularly need this piece of land. The supply and demand relationship dictates that you can only sell this land cheaply."
"You admit this is the lifeline of our Su family in the capital, yet you still want to exploit it!"
"Patriarch Su, how can you say such a thing? Hasn't your Su family in the capital done such things before?"
Su Tianhuang was rendered speechless by anger.
Indeed, his Su family in the capital had engaged in such activities. Now, he could only attribute it to karma.
"Patriarch Su, how about this, we are all old acquaintances. We will offer you twenty-five billion. Twenty-five billion is not much, but it is enough for your Su family in the capital to resist the Ge family for a while longer."
"Twenty-five billion?"
This price was significantly lower than Su Tianhuang's expectations.
"Patriarch Su, there's no telling what will happen later. If your Su family in the capital's assets are sealed, you won't even have these twenty-five billion." a portly man sneered.
Su Tianhuang gritted his teeth, "Alright, I agree! Twenty-five billion it is. However, this money cannot be transferred to me temporarily, or it will also be sealed."
"Very well!"
Upon seeing that the matter was settled, a cold smirk flashed across the portly man's lips.
"Then let's draft the contract quickly."
"Patriarch Su, since we've come, we are naturally prepared."
Soon, one of the tycoons produced a document, which was the transfer contract for those plots of land.
Su Tianhuang hesitated for a moment, then picked up his pen, ready to sign the contract.
But at that moment, the study door was forcefully pushed open, and Su Yunxi rushed in from outside, "I will offer one hundred billion for this land!"
Su Tianhuang was stunned. He slowly raised his head, and upon seeing Su Yunxi followed closely by Chen Xuan, his expression became peculiar, "Why are you here?"
Su Yunxi didn't say anything. Instead, she looked at the tycoons, "I offer one hundred billion for this land. If anyone can offer a higher price, feel free to bid!"
Seeing someone offer such a high price, the tycoons were instantly furious. "What the hell, who are you to dare to crash the party?"
"My name is Su Yunxi!" Su Yunxi declared.
Chen Xuan also grinned, "My name is Chen Xuan!"
Saying this, Chen Xuan rolled up his sleeves.
"You are Chen Xuan?"
The men looked at Chen Xuan, frowning.
"You don't recognize me? It's alright, you can get to know my fists later..."
Chen Xuan clenched his fist, which immediately made cracking sounds. The tycoons turned pale with fright.
"Su Tianhuang, you brought us here to discuss business? You have no sincerity!" someone said to Su Tianhuang.
They couldn't do anything to Chen Xuan, so they could only ask Su Tianhuang to handle the matter.
"Su Yunxi, Chen Xuan, are you here to watch a show? You are not welcome here. Get out immediately!"
Su Tianhuang said coldly.
"Su Tianhuang, you might have misunderstood. I'm not here to watch your show, but to do business with you," Su Yunxi stated truthfully.
She was right; her main purpose in coming here was to conduct business, specifically regarding the land Su Tianhuang was selling.
Su Yunxi also had her eye on that piece of land and intended to use it to build a factory.
"You want that land too? I won't sell it to you!"
If Su Tianhuang sold the land to Su Yunxi now, wouldn't that be slapping himself in the face?
"Did you hear that? The land won't be sold to you. Hurry up and leave."
"Exactly! Aren't you slapping Patriarch Su in the face?"
The tycoons said mockingly.
Su Yunxi sneered, "Su Tianhuang, do you know who they are?"
"Who are they? Am I not clearer than you?"
"If our guess is correct, these people have likely been bought over by the Ge family. Even if you sell the land, the funds will not reach your account," Su Yunxi said calmly.
Upon hearing this, the tycoons' expressions changed.
"Patriarch Su, you mustn't listen to their nonsense. She said it herself that she's just guessing. We have no connection with the Ge family." One of the portly men said hastily, as if trying to cover up something.
Su Tianhuang also showed a hint of worry.
Su Yunxi continued, "Su Tianhuang, you are also a businessman. You should understand what business is. In the face of business, any pride or reputation is not that important. Moreover, given the current situation of the Su family in the capital, do you think anything is more important than money?"
Her words resonated with Su Tianhuang.
"How much are you offering for those land plots?" Su Tianhuang asked.
"One hundred billion!"
This price was very reasonable. Even during the peak period of the Su family in the capital, it would not exceed one hundred billion.
"Good, I agree!" Su Tianhuang, as expected of the patriarch of a prominent family, handled matters decisively.
Su Tianhuang then turned to the other tycoons, "I apologize, but your offer was too low."
"You... Su Yunxi, you've gone too far!"
The tycoons' faces turned red with anger, wishing they could slap Su Yunxi.
