Goodbye You Never Loved Me novel (Martha and Stefan) novel Chapter 1116

Chapter 1116 Negotiation (1)

Elliot looked at Lawrence's smiling face and couldn't help but furrow his brows, suppressing his impatience and annoyance. He asked back, "How much did RH offer?"

Lawrence smiled slightly, "We are working with Mr. Harper in good faith. Why don't you make an offer first since it is Mr. Harper who wants RH's land."

Elliot became even more dissatisfied. He thought Lawrence was just a small potato, but now it seemed that he had a high position in RH.

Elliot glanced at his assistant and spoke the price they had previously agreed upon, "30 million."

The assistant sitting next to Elliot calmly observed Lawrence's expression. The 30 million offered by Harper Group had been budgeted for the valuation of the Australian land beforehand; it was more than enough for the land, even overestimated by one million due to Mr. Harper's relationship with Lawrence.

They should agree to this price.

The assistant was secretly thinking when he noticed that Elliot was also carefully observing Lawrence's expression with a strange feeling in his heart.

He felt that it wouldn't be so simple; perhaps Lawrence would raise the price.

As soon as Elliot thought of this idea, Lawrence slowly spoke again, "30 million... the price is a bit low."

Then under Elliot's expressionless face and the assistant's surprised gaze filled with disbelief, he continued speaking indifferently, "Our CEO's minimum psychological price is 50 million."

The assistant gasped for breath while Elliot's face darkened slightly.

The atmosphere in the office unknowingly became stagnant - there was an uncommunicative suffocating feeling between them three - making even the assistant not daring to speak up silently on one side.

RH did ask for anything.

Not only did Elliot feel this way; even after hearing Khalil's instructed prices, Lawrence was unable to help but feel shocked.

When they bought that piece of land two years ago, they only spent more than 8 million dollars on it because Australia's terrain and environment didn't quite fit into RH's goals so they kept holding onto it all along until now where its location wasn't considered good either since there were undeveloped cities around them which could rent out for no more than twenty million dollars maximum.

Elliot offering thirty million exceeded expectations already, yet Khalil proposed fifty million as their lowest asking price?

Lawrence took a deep breath when he first heard the price, but now that he thought about it seriously, he realized that he wasn't as bold as Khalil. Looking at Elliot's indifferent and cold expression, Lawrence remained calm and used his knowledge to try to persuade him. "What? Mr. Harper thinks fifty million is too high?"

Elliot looked up at him.

Lawrence smirked and said, "The land is located in the most central area of Australia. Although it's not bustling now, it's definitely worth this price."

Elliot raised an eyebrow and suppressed the hint of hostility in his eyes. "Oh? Why does Mr. Ingram say that?"

"Mr. Harper, you should know," Lawrence continued smoothly with a sly smile on his face. "In the near future, there will be a new tourist attraction developed nearby along with a large economic business district built around it - all centered around this piece of land we're offering you today."
