Chapter 161
Lethan felt a bit uneasy after he finished speaking.
Carlisle’s expected price was 400 million, but Lethan had only sold it for 250 million. If he gave Carlisle 200 million, he would only have 50 million left.
Giving Carlisle 180 million would leave him with an extra 20 million. But this seemed unfair to Carlisle.
Carlisle was silent momentarily, then smiled and said, “You probably didn’t sell it for 360 million, did you?”
He didn’t believe Lethan would sell the hotel for 360 million after buying it for 36 million. He probably wouldn’t have sold it for even 300 million.
Lethan asked, “Just tell me if 180 million is enough. If it’s not, I’ll give you 200 million. Anyway, I’m still profiting!”
He had thought it through. He wouldn’t have earned a penny if Carlisle hadn’t insisted on him buying the Riverwatch Hotel.
He had already earned some goodwill by selling the Riverwatch Hotel to Shania at a low price. Giving Carlisle 200 million out of the 250 million, he could still earn 50 million.
“180 million is enough. It’s been a pleasure doing business with you.” Carlisle smiled as he spoke, very satisfied with the price.
He was just an 18–year–old freshman with no influence, background, or connections.
On the other hand, Lethan was a well–known billionaire. Even though he had amassed a fortune, he
couldn’t remain indifferent when facing hundreds of millions of dollars in funds.
Lethan could easily embezzle the money with his abilities, but he didn’t. Perhaps it was out of gratitude or
for other reasons.
But no matter the reason, Lethan was someone worth befriending.
Carlisle didn’t ask for the 200 million, which touched Lethan. “Give me your bank account number, and I’ll have Shania deposit the money directly into your account later.”
Carlisle provided Lethan with his newly opened checking account.
Then, Carlisle called Sunny.
Sunny instantly picked up the phone, sounding very excited. “Boss, property prices in Riverwatch District have already risen to 700 per square foot. Should we continue to wait or sell them now?”
“Let’s wait a bit longer,” Carlisle said calmly. “It should rise to 900 in a few days. We’ll sell once it surpasses 900.
The reason for the rapid rise in property prices was because property developers had already started to
take action.
However, the highest price would only reach 900 this time. Later, it might even be pushed down to around
After finishing the call with Sunny, Carlisle received several calls from unfamiliar numbers. These were all property developers who wanted to buy the nearly 50 properties from Carlisle.
After discussing prices with them, they offered as high as 780 per square foot. Carlisle rejected them without hesitation.
This price was already very high and was comparable to property prices in Lumina. However, Carlisle was well aware of the current price surge and was unsatisfied with the offer.
After military training ended in the afternoon, Carlisle contacted Francis to pick him up. After returning to the dormitory and showering, Shane suddenly stopped him just as he was about to do his laundry.
“Carlisle, let me wash your clothes from now on!”
Shane’s eyes were filled with enthusiasm, and he looked at Carlisle as if he were looking at a beautiful girl.
“Is that really necessary?”
Carlisle’s mouth twitched, wondering if this guy had some issues with his sexual orientation.
Shane snatched the hamper of clothes from Carlisle’s hands. “I’ve been doing laundry since I was five and started doing chores at eight. Carlisle, you can rest assured!”
