“That’s right. We’ve already discussed everything. All you have to do now is to sign the papers. Why did you pay us the deposit if you’re so cautious in the first place?” Mason jeered at Levi.
“Are you trying to force a deal?” Levi asked.
“When did I do that?” Mason sneered.
Levi disregarded him and started to scan through the agreement.
He grimaced after a short while and turned to ask Elena, “What was the price we agreed upon yesterday?”
Elena answered, “two hundred million. We paid a deposit of fifty million yesterday.”
Levi sneered. “That’s not right, Mr. Pena. two hundred million was the price we agreed upon after the discussion yesterday. Why did the figure become two billion on the agreement?”
Everyone gasped after listening to Levi’s comment. They’ve marked up the price by ten folds!
The other executives were shocked after flipping through the agreement. They questioned Mason. “What do you mean by this, Mr. Pena? Why is it two billion listed on the contract now? You better explain yourself!”
Mason glanced at the crowd nonchalantly. “Explanation? Hmph! I’ll be frank with you guys! two hundred million was the price for yesterday. This factory is worth two billion today!”
“That’s improper, Mr. Pena. How can you amend the agreement without mutual consent at the last minute?”
“That’s right. You are violating the contract.”
Elena and the others chided.
Mason said with a smile. “Is there a rule stating that I cannot amend the price? Over ten companies contacted me last night, telling me they are interested in purchasing my factory. Someone even offered me three billion. So two billion is already considered a cheap price!”
