Just as Wang Boshan and Zheng Yongshou were feeling bewildered, a hint of disdain flashed across Xia Ruofei's eyes. He said indifferently, "I had three choices back then. I won't talk about the other one. One of the two choices was the ownership of Peach Blossom Island, and the other was three billion USD. I chose the former. "
At this point, Xia Ruofei revealed a playful smile. He looked at Wang Boshan and said, "Director Wang, if I wanted three billion USD, would I need to go through so much trouble to get Peach Blossom Island and sell it? I've also invested a lot of time, manpower, and resources into this. It's not like there's something wrong with my brain … "
Although Xia Ruofei's tone was sarcastic and his words were not pleasant, Wang Boshan secretly heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that.
'So he thinks the money is too little!' Wang Boshan thought to himself.
As long as Xia Ruofei was willing to talk about money, it was excellent news. To the Star Picking Sect, Star Group was just an expatriate organization in the secular world. The purpose of earning money was to exchange for cultivation resources.
At the moment, what cultivation resource was more precious than Peach Blossom Island?
As long as they could take Peach Blossom Island, the Star Picking Sect would not hesitate to give the entire Star Group to Xia Ruofei, let alone more money. Moreover, they would feel that they had gained a great deal. They would probably wake up laughing at night.
Of course, Wang Boshan could not do that. If he proposed such a strange plan like exchanging Star Group for Peach Blossom Island, even if Xia Ruofei was not smart, he would definitely think that Peach Blossom Island had a special value that he had not discovered yet. On the contrary, it might be a rare commodity that was worth hoarding, so he would not want to sell it rashly.
Therefore, the price that Wang Boshan proposed at the beginning was basically in line with the market.
He and Zheng Yongshou were not afraid that Xia Ruofei would ask for too much. They were worried that Xia Ruofei would not talk about money at all and was determined to keep Peach Blossom Island in his hands.
After all, for a successful person like Xia Ruofei who was already financially independent, money was just a number no matter how much it was. Xia Ruofei was so young. Perhaps he liked the feeling of being the island owner? Moreover, with such a big private island, how much face would he have in front of his friends?
As for money, so what if it was three or four billion USD? How much money could a person spend in their lifetime?
Fortunately, Xia Ruofei didn't give a definite answer. Instead, he revealed that he gave up on the 3 billion USD and chose Peach Blossom Island.
From Wang Boshan's point of view, there was room for discussion!
Wang Boshan quickly said, "Boss Xia, I really don't know what you're talking about. If that's the case, it's indeed inappropriate for us to offer three billion USD … However, our Star Group is preparing to launch a huge tourism project in the South Pacific island countries. Peach Blossom Island happens to be an indispensable part of our plan. As long as we can obtain the development rights and ownership of Peach Blossom Island, we can still negotiate the price! "
Xia Ruofei faintly said, "Mr. Wang, I don't lack money. It can be said that the money I have now is more than enough to spend in ten lifetimes. Furthermore, my company is making money for me every second. To be honest, I quite like Peach Blossom Island. The air, the sun, the beach, the sea … these things can't be bought with money. "
"3.5 billion USD!" Wang Boshan said directly, "Boss Xia, everything has a price, and Peach Blossom Island is no exception. For the sake of the company's grand strategy, I'm willing to give a certain premium based on the valuation. "
When Wang Boshan said this, he gave Zheng Yongshou a look, indicating for him to calm down. Then, he continued, "Of course, we're very clear about Boss Xia's net worth. We also know that Boss Xia has too much money to spend. However, 3.5 billion USD is not a small amount. I don't think anyone would complain about having too much money, right? With 3.5 billion USD, Boss Xia can buy an island with a much better environment than Peach Blossom Island. There are many such islands in the South Pacific. As long as you have the money, you can buy them. "
Xia Ruofei knew that it was about time. If he continued acting, it would be a little too much.
Therefore, he showed a hint of interest, as if he had been struggling in his heart. In the end, he showed a helpless expression and asked, "Mr. Wang, can you afford that much cash?"
"Don't worry about that, Boss Xia!" Wang Boshan said with a smile, "Boss Xia must have some understanding of Star Group's strength. Although 3.5 billion USD is a lot, we can still raise it in a short period of time. Besides … If the money isn't in place, Boss Xia won't transfer the ownership of Peach Blossom Island to us, right? "
Xia Ruofei said, "Since you have so much money, just like what you said just now, Mr. Wang, you can buy an island much better than Peach Blossom Island! Why do you have to spend so much money to buy Peach Blossom Island? This doesn't make sense! "
Wang Boshan and Zheng Yongshou's hearts skipped a beat. They knew that Xia Ruofei was not so easy to deal with. To be able to have such a career at such a young age, he would not be easy to fool. He would not be so easily fooled. If they were not careful, they would give themselves away.
Fortunately, Wang Boshan and Zheng Yongshou had already discussed their excuses before they came out.
Therefore, Wang Boshan did not panic at all. He said with a smile, "Boss Xia, as I said just now, it's mainly for the sake of our company's overall strategy. Peach Blossom Island and a few nearby islands are all in our company's development plan. Peach Blossom Island's geographical location and scenery are irreplaceable. Without this link, the entire tourism development plan is missing a key element, which is equivalent to saying that the entire project is useless. "It's precisely for this reason that we're willing to buy from you at such a high premium. I believe that Boss Xia knows the market value of Peach Blossom Island. The price we're offering is definitely the highest. Even if you want to sell it in the future, you won't be able to sell it at a higher price. "
Xia Ruofei nodded casually, indicating that he agreed with Wang Boshan's point of view.
Wang Boshan and Zheng Yongshou looked at each other, then asked tentatively, "Boss Xia, then … can you sell it?"
Xia Ruofei frowned slightly and said, "President Wang, I also like Peach Blossom Island very much … You guys … You're making it too difficult for me …"
Wang Boshan was secretly proud. He knew that when the negotiation opponent showed such an expression, it basically meant that he was very close to success.
Wang Boshan couldn't help but tremble slightly when he thought about the rewards he would receive from the Sect after he obtained Peach Blossom Island.
In order to strike while the iron was hot, Wang Boshan thought for a moment and said, "We'll add another 100 million USD! The total price is 3.6 billion USD! Boss Xia, this price is really too high, and it's also our bottom line … If we add more money, our entire project's funding structure will be destroyed, and the reconstruction of the other islands will also be affected. The company's board of directors will definitely not approve of this! "
After saying that, Wang Boshan looked into Xia Ruofei's eyes, trying to find some information from his eyes and expression.
There was a flash of greed in Xia Ruofei's eyes, and then it was replaced by a conflicted expression.
However, according to Wang Boshan's judgment, Xia Ruofei's conflicted expression was more of an act. When Xia Ruofei heard the number 3.6 billion USD, the flash of greed in his eyes should be his real thoughts.
Sure enough, after hesitating for a while, Xia Ruofei finally nodded reluctantly and said, "Since President Wang is so sincere, it would be a bit ungrateful of me to refuse … How about this! I agree to this matter in principle, but I can only reach a verbal agreement with you. As for the specific changes of ownership, after you transfer the money to my personal account, I will naturally take care of it. "
Zheng Yongshou couldn't help but say, "Verbal agreement? After talking for so long, you can't even sign a contract? Isn't that a waste of time? "
Wang Boshan quickly whispered, "Master's Junior Zheng! Don't be impulsive … "
After saying that, Wang Boshan immediately explained to Xia Ruofei, "Boss Xia, don't be angry! My uncle is too impatient, and … I personally think it's safer to sign a paper agreement … "
Xia Ruofei seemed to be a little unhappy. He looked at Zheng Yongshou with dissatisfaction and then said, "You don't understand the process of the transfer of ownership of Peach Blossom Island. In principle, the ownership of this island is not allowed to be transferred. The Family Liu transferred it to me in the name of gifting it to the younger generation of the family. I still need to go to Bonaotu to coordinate this matter. Before it's settled, it's useless for me to sign the agreement! Even if Bonaotu agrees, the change of ownership requires both parties to be present at the same time. If you go with the agreement, they won't recognize it at all! Since you don't trust me, then this business is over! "
Wang Boshan quickly said, "Boss Xia, please calm down! Boss Xia, please calm down! We didn't mean that … My uncle is also a little impatient. After all, this project is too important to Star Group. "
Wang Boshan's face was sincere when he spoke, especially the last sentence. It really came from the bottom of his heart, so it seemed even more sincere.
Xia Ruofei then pretended to be angry and said, "Honesty is the most important thing in business. Only by trusting each other can a cooperation be successful. Moreover, my company in the country is so big. Do you think I can run away? "
"Yes! Yes! Yes! "Wang Boshan quickly said," Of course we trust Boss Xia! Then … we'll go with the plan you proposed, Boss Xia! We … will pay you part of the deposit first … "
"Forget about the deposit!" Xia Ruofei waved his hand and said, "I said, whether this matter can succeed or not depends on Bonaotu's attitude. Besides, trust should be mutual, right? "
"Yes! Boss Xia is right! "Wang Boshan said," Then how about we have a gentleman's agreement? "
Xia Ruofei nodded slightly and said, "I agree! I can guarantee that under the same conditions, I will choose to cooperate with your company first! Moreover, I believe that it won't take too long to coordinate with Bonaotu's officials, so the deal should be done in three to five days at the latest! "
"That's great!" Wang Boshan said excitedly, "Boss Xia, then I wish us a happy cooperation!"
Then, Wang Boshan raised his cup and gestured to Xia Ruofei.
Xia Ruofei also raised his cup with a smile and clinked it with Wang Boshan's. The two of them drank at the same time.
After they finished talking about business, everyone naturally chatted about other things. Xia Ruofei had been very careful to not let the other party see any flaws.
Xia Ruofei also had another result from this meeting, which was that the theories about cultivation that he had previously summarized and integrated were partially verified today. At least, Wang Boshan and Zheng Yongshou did not realize that Xia Ruofei was a cultivator, but Xia Ruofei could see their cultivation at a glance.
The lunch lasted for more than an hour, and both the host and the guest enjoyed themselves.
