Everyone heard Sophia exclaiming. Their face changed.
Sophia sang such high praise for the Lawson family. Now when they had to pay the price, she didn't have the money to offer. It seemed so embarrassed for her when looked back from the plow.
Sophia's face was distorted with anger. She asked over the phone, "You said we could offer them however much we want."
"Are you stupid?"
The furious scold of the financial director of the Lawson Group came over the phone. "We made it very clear in the contract that the price would be 30 million. How could you raise it to 50 billion? Why don't you rob a bank and fill the gap?"
The financial director was still boiling with anger, so he continued to scold.
"This is your negotiating skill? I can't believe you were the vice president of that company before. I should've sent a department director there, and I'm sure any of them would do a better job than you.
"We have to nail down this acquisition. If you ruin it, we'll see how you're going to explain it to Ms. Lawson!"
Toot... Toot... Toot...
After scolding her, the man hung up the phone without giving Sophia a chance to explain.
Sophia was stunned.
It was true that the contract only said 30 billion, but according to her negotiation practice, the initial price would always be driven up because the other party usually wouldn't be satisfied with the initial price.
Sophia did what she should do in a negotiation. She never knew that 30 billion was all that the Lawson family could offer.
Seeing this ironic scene, Lydia looked at Leo and let out a sigh of relief.
Leo's mouth arched into an ironic smile as he looked at Sophia.
Leo hadn't hesitated when he gambled on the L Group.
It was because he already knew for sure that the Lawson family wouldn't be able to offer 50 billion.
Ever since Leo was back in Emerdale, he had sent Forrest to inquire about the Lawson Group's capital chain fluctuation.
Forrest's final report was that the capital was around 10 billion.
With that much money, the Lawson Group could be ranked as one of the wealthiest companies in Emerdale. After Kate took charge of the group, the capital grew to 12 to 13 billion.
To buy the L Group, the Lawson family offered a price that was three times their capacity, which seemed like a very hard try. However, it also indicated that some forces were supporting the Lawson family behind their back.
Leo didn't know who was behind it, but he knew for sure that the Lawson family really meant to buy the L Group this time.
It was a pity that the stupid woman, Sophia, had just ruined the deal.
Thirty billion is already the most the Lawson family could offer, but Sophia made her own decision and raised the price to 50 billion just for bluffing.
That put the Lawson family in an impossible position.
"What's wrong? Any troubles from the Lawson family?"
Leo looked at Sophia with a playful face and asked with a smile.
Sophia's face was twisted due to anger. As much as she found it humiliating, she gathered her courage and uttered, "I've changed my mind. We'll only offer 30 billion!"
"How so? I thought you said you could raise it to 50 billion! Why is it 30 billion again?"
Leo pretended to be puzzled and continued to ask, "Ms. Walsh, that's no joke. The L Group has already been earnest enough. It will breach our trust if you go back on your words."
"I'll give you 30 million, and that's enough. Don't be so ungrateful!"
Sophia widened her eyes and glared at Lydia, "The L Group is only worth 5 billion now. No matter how well you develop in the coming days, it will never reach 30 billion! 30 billion is almost a steal for you!"
Lydia sneered and suddenly calmed down. She then said, "Sophia, credit matters most in business. You offered 50 billion minutes ago and 30 billion now. How could I possibly trust you?"
"Lydia, don't be stupid. You should really know who has the final say here."
Lydia's condescending and ironic smile provoked Sophia. She barked, "You can only compromise now, because it is the Lawson family you're faced with. Otherwise, when they decide to throw attacks on your business, you'll have no other way but to go bankrupt!"
Lydia couldn't care less about Sophia's threat.
