Fifteen hundred million Hong Kong dollars for the acquisition.

Adding in the three hundred million Hong Kong dollars in corresponding debt, it meant that Fatty Gold would have to spend more than eighteen hundred million in total.

This price wasn't low, but it definitely wasn't high.

It meant that Old Su was developing the land for nothing, only earning money from the appreciation of house prices and land prices in recent years, completely cutting off the final retail profit.

The project suddenly made several hundred million less, so Old Su inevitably felt the pinch.

The future was unknown.

It wasn't yet clear what would happen to the property market next.

On the Singapore side, due to certain conflicts, the engineering payments were being deliberately held back. On Sihai International's side, more than a dozen collection calls had already been received since this morning, and the bank had also sent people to probe.

This made Old Su feel like he had bitten off more than he could chew.

And Su Yehao's antics had stabbed Old Su in the heart, making him fearful for the past two days. Suddenly losing his confidence, he no longer tried to raise money to swallow up his partner's shares.

After chatting with Fatty Gold, Old Su really started to seriously consider the issue of cashing out while he had the chance.

When a person falls, everyone kicks them. He couldn't expect other Hong Kong property developers to offer a higher price, so he first called Su Yehao's mother to ask for her opinion, also hinting at borrowing money from the Tang family.

Su Yehao's mother was responsible for managing several private hospitals and pharmaceutical retail agency companies, and wasn't very knowledgeable about the real estate industry.

She didn't give him a friendly tone, only telling Old Su to handle it himself, and quickly hung up the phone.

She had absolutely no intention of helping her husband through his difficulties, not even mentioning it. After being separated for so many years, not officially divorcing and dividing the property was already considered a gesture of goodwill.

He couldn't expect Su Yehao's mother to take out money to help again.

Even if she was willing, her family wouldn't agree. After all, Su Yehao's maternal grandfather was still alive.

...

During class break.

Su Yehao happened to receive a call from Ge Banxian.

Hearing the other party explain the reason, Su Yehao said in surprise, "What? My dad asked if you want to sell?"

"...It's not whether I want to sell, it's whether your family's buildings can be sold. He told me that Huang Daxian is in seclusion and can't be contacted for the time being, and wanted me to help him make a decision. I thought I'd ask you first," Ge Banxian said enthusiastically.

Having earned some money, he had been able to eat meat recently, and didn't have to worry about sleeping on the streets in the short term.

Business had come to him, and he was planning to make a profit from it, so of course he was very attentive. As for the nonsense about "Zhang San", he had exposed it the last time he went to the Su family.

"Sell! Of course, advise him to sell. As long as the price is right, it's definitely good to sell."

After Su Yehao finished speaking, Ge Banxian immediately understood and replied happily, "Okay! Then I'll go give him an answer now. This time's reward..."

"Once it's done, I'll personally deliver it to you."

"Haha! Thank you, thank you..."

After communicating with Ge Banxian, although he didn't know the cause and effect, Su Yehao thought that it was probably related to the negative news from the morning.

In any case, it was a good thing. Once the time bomb was thrown away, it would save him a lot of trouble and several years of hard work.

He used to despise others for being flamboyant, decadent, spending money like water, and only thinking about harmony, without understanding true feelings.

Now it was his turn...

The True Fragrance Law was indeed a great truth of human society.

The morning passed by in a hurry.

During lunch.

Su Yehao also received a call from his dad.

Old Su asked on the phone, "Xiao Hao, someone wants to buy our family's buildings in Hong Kong, taking over all the shares for fifteen hundred million. The price can still be negotiated. Do you think I should agree?"

"Agree."

"...But in that case, our family will earn at least four or five hundred million less."

Without even thinking about it, Su Yehao said decisively, "Sell! Maybe it'll fall.

"Four or five hundred million Hong Kong dollars in profit, where are you going to earn so much money? We only have you in our family, and it'll all be yours in the future. Don't blame me if there's less money."

Old Su on the other end of the phone was sighing and scratching his head.

In fact, he didn't want to sell in his heart.

But after asking around, his friends were afraid that he would borrow money and advised him to sell.

Ge Banxian said that the business in the east couldn't be done and there would be a great disaster.

Even his wife and son didn't support the idea of continuing to hold on, giving him a lonely feeling.

Su Yehao organized his words and continued through the phone, "It's better to cash out. We already have enough money, so stability is the most important thing. Hong Kong house prices have been rising for so long, and they're already at a high level. They can't keep rising forever. Is the buyer reliable?"

"It's your classmate, the one surnamed Huang's dad. Okay, I'll think about it again. Study hard."

Unexpectedly learning that it was the Huang Zewen family who wanted to acquire the buildings, Su Yehao suddenly understood many things, such as why he had asked so many questions before, and why he had taken the initiative to treat him to fancy drinks.

A flash of inspiration.

Glancing at Huang Zewen, who was fooling around with his friends, he thought of what his dad had said about the price still being negotiable.

Rubbing his face, he put on that arrogant and domineering posture, walked to Huang Zewen's side, and said with a smile, "Your dad is quite something, wanting to acquire my family's buildings? Fifteen hundred million Hong Kong dollars, just like that. It's a pity that your family seems to be a step behind. This morning, I just heard that the Li family in Hong Kong called my dad."

"...A mere fifteen hundred million, my dad has been making a fortune these past two years."

After habitually showing off, Huang Zewen tentatively asked, "Which Li family?"

"I don't know, but my dad was very happy and gave me an extra twenty thousand in pocket money, saying something about seeing the blue sky after clearing away the clouds, and that the troubles might all be solved at once. I didn't ask, it's none of my business anyway. Want to go grab a few drinks when you're free?"

After Su Yehao finished speaking, he raised his eyebrows, revealing an expression that everyone understood.

He vaguely guessed that Huang Zewen might be a little spy, fabricating a competitor to facilitate raising the price.

It would be great if it could be used, but it didn't matter if it wasn't. Anyway, it was just wasting saliva, so it wouldn't hurt to try.

Huang Zewen, who considered himself smart, suddenly thought of many things. There were many developers in Hong Kong surnamed Li, and two of them had the strength to crush most of the rich in Hong Kong. Only the Gambling King could hold his own.

No matter who cooperated with the Su family, it wouldn't be a good thing for Huang Zewen.

The main reason was that the Su family's buildings were indeed quite good, especially the high-end development on the Mid-Levels, which was of excellent quality and in a good location, close to Central, and qualified to be targeted by Hong Kong developers.

Instantly losing the mood to fool around, Huang Zewen quietly called his dad during lunch to give him the inside scoop.

Su Yehao wasn't idle either.

He made a call to his dad and told him about his little trick.

In the afternoon.

Fatty Gold hosted a dinner and invited Old Su to eat together in the evening.

As for Su Yehao.

After school, he went to find Yin Liuli, and didn't order takeout until after seven o'clock in the evening.

The main reason was that she really couldn't get out of bed anymore.

The bed sheets that had just been washed and dried during the day were stained with water everywhere, so they had to be washed again.

...

With the big deal on his mind, he couldn't bother to appease her for the time being.

After the takeout was delivered and eaten, Su Yehao made an excuse to go home first. After waiting for a while, he saw his dad get out of the car, drunk.

As soon as he got home and sat on the sofa.

Old Su smiled and said, "That old dog Fatty Gold didn't have good intentions, desperately pouring me wine to get information out of me. It looks like he really wants to buy my buildings!"

"And then? Did you make a deal?" Su Yehao immediately asked.

"Yeah, fifteen hundred and sixty million Hong Kong dollars. In addition, I kept two apartments, both on the top floor."

Old Su was lost in thought.

Fortunately, it was considered a resolution to a problem. The money owed to suppliers and construction teams was also settled, totaling three to four hundred million Hong Kong dollars. And the more than six hundred million in Singapore hadn't been settled yet, but it was only a matter of time.

Su Yehao praised himself, saying, "Then didn't I make a contribution? What's the reward?"

"What reward? Those two top-floor duplexes are for you anyway. I'll write your name on them when the time comes. Fatty Gold thought there was really a competitor, so the negotiations went relatively smoothly tonight. You barely made a contribution. I really lost out this time."

"Write my name? How big are they?"

"About the same layout, around five thousand square feet, and more than two thousand square feet upstairs, with a yard. You can build a sky garden when the time comes, for your wedding." Old Su had drunk a lot again. Although he had reached a preliminary agreement, he was still quite conflicted, mainly because he felt bad about the hundreds of millions in profit.

He had worked hard for almost four years, originally developing and selling himself.

Now it was equivalent to only earning some money from the appreciation of house prices, and helping others build the houses, losing a large chunk of profit.

If he had sold them in the second half of last year, instead of holding on to them, he could have earned four to five hundred million more.

Suddenly having two luxury homes, Su Yehao was overjoyed.

Converted into square meters, it was equal to more than four hundred square meters on the first floor, and more than two hundred square meters upstairs, plus a sky garden, a proper luxury penthouse.

Although he didn't know the price, it was worth celebrating.

So after his dad went to sleep, Su Yehao made an excuse to slip out again.

After Yin Liuli opened the door, her eyes were full of weakness, helplessness, and despair. She said helplessly, "I really can't do it anymore."

"...We're dating, I just want to chat with you. Otherwise, I'll just come over to shake the water glass, making it seem like I'm bullying you." Su Yehao was in a great mood, hugged her and kissed her, all smooth and tender.

Taking a deep breath, Yin Liuli tightened her pajamas and said, "But you are bullying me."

"I really just want to hug you and sleep."

Having suddenly become rich, he thought about being low-key, and endured again and again.

Sage Time.

Sitting on the sofa, Su Yehao couldn't help but say when he saw the Hong Kong night scene on TV:

"Seeing this building, I suddenly remembered. When I got home just now, my dad drank too much wine. He made a big deal today and insisted on giving me two top-floor luxury homes in Hong Kong, overlooking Central."

Waiting for Yin Liuli to turn her head to look over.

His pores were relaxed, and he was simply ecstatic. Su Yehao continued:

"There's no way, my dad is too pretentious, unlike me, who likes to be quiet and low-key."

"The buildings developed by my own family, duplex top floors, more than seven thousand square feet, plus a sky garden, are too big and too expensive, and can't be sold at all. It will definitely be difficult to clean in the future."

"Liuli, next time we go shopping in Hong Kong, let's go take a look?"

"My family is developing several buildings together, and I've never paid attention to them before. I don't even know where they are. Hmm, let's borrow my dad's yacht to go over. My mom's helicopter is too noisy, there's noise, and there's risk..."

He finished showing off in one breath.

Su Yehao felt that his soul had been sublimated.

Whether he was with friends or family, he could only hold these words back.

Finally creating an opportunity to show off in front of the girl, he was simply comfortable enough to take off.

Suddenly.

He noticed that Yin Liuli, who was eating fruit, had particularly beautiful lips, coated with pink lipstick.

Danger!

Out of sixth sense.

Yin Liuli's whole body tensed up, and her hairs stood on end.

Her mind was racing, in a panic.

After a long time, she finally found a reason and stammered, "That...I...let's go out and buy bed sheets, we can't change them tonight."

After she finished speaking, her mind went blank.

She immediately realized.

She might have touched a nerve, accidentally lit a fuse...
