I found myself thinking, “Wow, here is a true wealthy individual! If you’re a fan of Pu-erh tea, why would you consider investing in apany that produces it? Is your money just a breeze that brought you here?”


    However, upon reflection, I felt a sense of relief wash over me.


    “The Banks family’s assets surpass one trillion yuan. Purchasing a Pu-erh teapany for a few hundred million yuan is like spending a mere tens of thousands for an average person. Isn’t it as easy as buying a drink for seven or eight yuan? If you truly enjoy tea, spending a hundred yuan just to enjoy some is a small price to pay!”


    With this perspective in mind, I quicklyplimented, “Miss Banks, you’re truly devoted to your family! Our Zhicheng Group has numerous advantages in the Pu-erh tea sector. We have a vast tea production base that ensures environmentally friendly and sustainable farming methods.”


    Zara Banks smiled and responded, “Absolutely! I’ve dispatched several experts in Pu-erh tea to various locations in southern Yunnan. Just recently, I reached out to several simrpanies as part of my research, and I’m eager to finalize one of these candidates soon.” After a brief pause,<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Zara’s demeanor shifted as she said earnestly, “Mr. Fadil, let’s discuss the price directly. What is your ideal figure?”


    Fadil took a moment to think and replied, “Miss Banks, my ideal price is… one billion…”


    Though hecked confidence in his statement, he maintained a calm exterior.<fne50d> Fresh chapters posted on find(?)ovel</fne50d>


    Zara Banks didn’t seem to dwell on Fadil’s video presence. When she heard the one billion offer, she merely smiled slightly and said, “Mr. Fadil, I’ve reviewed your financial reports from the past few years and have a good understanding of your revenue. To be honest, one billion isn’t an unreasonable price, but it’s more suitable for financing rather than a sale. If I’m going to invest 100 million for a 10% share, that seems excessive, considering you still need to operate thepany and ensure its future growth meets expectations while signing a performance agreement with me.” At this point,


    Zara shifted the conversation. “However, let’s discuss a straightforward deal. I’m interested in acquiring all your assets as a package. You won’t need to worry about performance metrics or thepany’s future. In this scenario, reporting one billion is a bit unrealistic.”


    Fadil felt a bit embarrassed. He hadn’t anticipated Zara’s youthfulness coupled with her keen experience. Despite her wealth, she was astute and pragmatic, not at all ostentatious. At this juncture,


    Zara continued, “Mr. Fadil, everyone’s time is valuable. Please provide a revised price. If you’re genuine, we can continue our discussion. If not, let’s not waste each other’s time. I particrly dislike endless haggling, as it squanders both time and energy.”


    Upon hearing this, Fadil felt a surge of panic.


    Although he believed that asking for one billion was somewhat unreasonable, he reasoned that this was the nature of buying and selling—sellers propose a price, and buyers counter. Traditionally, the initial offer is typically inted, and through negotiation, both parties arrive at an eptablepromise. However, he hadn’t anticipated that this young Zara Banks would reject this conventional approach.


    After a moment of hesitation, Fadil took a deep breath and said, “Miss Banks, given your perspective, I won’t y games. Here’s my offer: I’ll give you a 20% discount, making it 800 million. The Zhicheng Group will be yours. I assure you; this price is very sincere.”


    “Sincerity alone won’t suffice,” Zara replied calmly, then added without hesitation, “Mr. Fadil, I’ll give you my final offer: 700 million! This is contingent on your Zhicheng Group halting all expenditures from this moment forward, and your legal team must seal all official documents to prevent any contracts with third-partypanies outside of the Banks Group. My audit team will take over andmence their review.”


    “If that works for you, I’ll arrange to transfer 100 million as a good faith deposit to your personal ount. We can finalize an agreement online—whoever backs out owes the other 100 million in cash.”


    “However, if you find my price uneptable, there’s no need for further bargaining. We can conclude our negotiations here, and you can seek other buyers while I pursue other offers!”<h3 ss="wp-block-heading has-text-align-center" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
