Brock was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly asked, “Only 70%?”
“The 70% is theirs! We can only get 30% and we will have to do everything according to them!” Jasper snarled.
“Do everything according to them? Isn’t that like begging for food on your knees?” Brock slapped the table and roared.
Jasper and Brook were good at pretending, but the manager was obviously not easygoing either.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Laine. If you really say that, then you foreign businessmen who come to us to mine oil are indeed begging on your knees! Even so, so many people don’t even have the chance to do so.”
The more arrogant the manager was, the happier Jasper became. Now, he had the confidence to compete with the other party.
“Why? You guys are too shady. This should at least be a 40-60 split, right? Otherwise, we’ll be paying so much to take such a big risk. This is preposterous!”
The manager did not know why Jasper’s attitude suddenly changed at this moment.
They had negotiated the 30-70 split just now, and that was why Brock was asked to get the stamp. However, Jasper seemed to have gained some courage and wanted to fight about the price with him.
It was a pity that the manager was just a puppet and was not qualified to set the price.
These prices were already fixed, and the manager was just here to help with the process. Therefore, the manager’s face suddenly darkened at this time.
“No way, this is how it‘s always been. We have never negotiated business with others at a different price!”
This was what Jasper was waiting for, so he followed with a cold snort.
“I guess there’s no choice then. It seems that we’re not fated to do business with you. I can’t do business with you. Goodbye!”
After Jasper finished speaking, he got up and wanted to leave with Brock. Then, the manager walked to the door and opened his mouth.
“Stop!”
“What? Have you changed your mind, Manager?” Jasper turned back with a slight smile.
“Yes, I changed my mind. Originally, I wanted to send you off, but I can’t do it now. You should stay!”
