Life at The Top novel Chapter 509

“Since you’re in charge of the asset management in your branch, Mr. Layne, could you give another discount on the price? After all, this is a valuable plot of land and it’s practically impossible for your branch to get rid of it so quickly,” Jasper spoke.

A business negotiation was an art of deception.

450 million Somer Dollars had not exceeded Jasper’s price, for the plot of land would easily appreciate, amounting to over tens of billions in a decade.

Yet if its price could be reduced, then he would be an absolute moron not to reduce it.

Vita was placed in a difficult situation.

In truth, the branch had been wanting to sell the plot of land a long time ago.

Its market price evaluation had long been completed before the meeting to discuss it being sold was held.

Vita was very aware that Jasper was speaking the truth.

This was a valuable plot of land, but it was difficult to sell.

In other words, those who could afford it might not be interested in the plot of land. After all, there was no guarantee about how Waterhoof City’s economic development area would turn out.

While most of those interested in the plot of land did not have the funds to buy it. They just want to make a cheap gamble at best.

Seeing Vita’s inner struggle appear on his features, Jasper smiled. “I plan to move my company’s headquarters to Waterhoof City in the future, Mr. Layne. Plus… for the latter half of next year, I think I’ll need to borrow an emergency loan of about eight billion Somer Dollars.

“Of course, I’ll have enough strength and assets as a mortgage, but I was wondering if your branch would be interested in such a business transaction?”

Vita’s head shot up at the words, and he stared at Jasper in utter shock. “Do you mean it?”

Jasper’s words quelled all of Vita’s doubts.

By stating that Jasper’s assets would first be verified before he was given the credit to the loan would destroy any risk of Jasper speaking baselessly or going back on his words.

“300 million! That’s the lowest I can go and the lowest price the branch is willing to offer. But it has to be paid fully and in cash. If you’re willing to accept it, Mr. Laine, then I shall persuade the bank tomorrow and try to sign that contract with you as fast as possible!” Vita spoke with his jaw tight.

Jasper’s eyes shone at the words.

He had not expected a discount of 150 million at all. This way, he would manage to save the interest for the eight billion Somer Dollar loan he would be taking to host the International Capital Carnival Feast next year.

Jasper smiled and stood, reaching out an arm toward Vita. He spoke, “It’s a pleasure doing business with you.”
