Visiting Henry Tang

The next morning, Daniel took Ava to the Tang family to find Henry Tang the owner of the land Daniel was interested to buy. Daniel told Ava that Henry Tang was very fond of high-quality teas, so Ava found top-quality Tieguanyin tea and bought 2 boxes for him.

Henry Tang used to be an elite who once lived a very wealthy life, their ancestor's home was well-known in the whole city but his son's bad habit of gambling made him lose everything little by little. Now he lives in a small town, about an hour away from the city.

On their way, Daniel explained to Ava about the Tang family and his gambler son, "If Henry Tang's son didn't gamble and lose so much money then he probably wouldn't sell this piece of land at this time. The land is precious, it's price will double in a few years. But unfortunately, his son's life is at stake this time so he has no other choice. If only people could control their desire to have more money they probably wouldn't have to suffer like this." Daniel said thoughtfully.

Hearing Daniel, Ava suddenly recalled her trip to Vegas with Oliver, where he gambled and won a piece of land from Ethan. Because of that later Ethan's family lost everything. Gambling was actually an addiction that could destroy one.

Ava suddenly asked curiously, "Danny, have you ever gambled?"

"Well, sometimes I did make small bets with my friends but nothing big."

"Why? Don't you desire money?"

"I do. I am a human so it's natural to love money, but I love you more." Daniel said with a bright smile.

Ava's heart missed a beat, she didn't know how to react to that. It's not that she didn't know his love for her but she felt guilty not being able to return the same feeling. Ava smiled hiding the sadness she felt and said, "Gambling is a dangerous addiction, don't ever gamble."

"Yes, whatever my lovely wife says," Daniel said affectionately. He didn't have any kind of addiction, he would occasionally drink at social gatherings but that's it.

Daniel didn't know what was going on in Ava's mind so he asked, "Do you have any desire?"

"Me? Simple happiness, good health, that's all I desire." Ava said lightly.

Daniel smiled, of course, he knew Ava's mind well, she was not a materialistic person. She never cared about wearing branded clothes, using high-end cosmetics, or buying expensive cars. She would rather live a simple and low-key life and find happiness in small things. That's why he was more attracted to her because in today's world it was really hard to find a woman who desires love over money.

After more than an hour's journey, they finally arrived at the Tang family.

Henry Tang now lives in a simple one-story bungalow. The fall of such a wealthy family overnight was really shocking. Henry Tang's family business was antique. After he handed over the business to his son, he didn't even realize how that fool lost his valuable antique pieces in gambling, and he didn't stop there as he started to lose money. Before Henry Tang realized, they have lost most of their business and whatever valuable items they have left he had to sell them at an auction to pay off his son's debt. It was really sad how their family was destroyed.

Daniel Looked at the Bangalow from outside and then knocked on the door politely. After a while, an old middle-aged man came to open the door. The man looked a bit annoyed when he opened the door and when he recognized Daniel he frowned.

"Hello, Mr. Tang," Daniel greeted politely.

"Mr. Sherman, why you are here? Didn't I make it clear to your assistant that the bidding will be held next week and whoever pays me more will have the land?" Henry Tang said a bit annoyed.

"Mr. Tang, can we please discuss this inside? I heard you are very fond of tea so I bought some Tieguanyin for you. I hope you will like it. Why don't I make it for you while you two talk about business?" Ava said with a humble smile on her face.

Henry Tang looked at Ava doubtfully then looked at the tea in her hand, he was still very reluctant to let them in but he didn't want to be impolite to them either therefore he invited them inside. "Alright, please come in but let me tell you, I can't really help you with the bidding."

Daniel and Ava exchanged a look as they walked inside. They looked around the simple interior and sat down on the two-seater sofa. There was already a tea set on the wooden tea table beside a single sofa. It was obvious that Henry Tang loves to drink tea. Ava didn't waste any time, she quickly opened the pack of Tieguanyin and start to make tea skillfully.

Daniel was all business, he said in an authoritative tone, "Mr. Tang we are here to do business, I am sure end of the day, what matters to us is the profit. I am not here to convince you to sell the land without any bidding to me. All I want to know is the quotation price Knight International offered to you. I am sure we can offer more than that in the bidding."

Henry Tang frowned, he wondered what was going on here. A few days ago Knight International sent some people and offered him 500 Million dollars which were higher than the market value of the land at this moment. So after thinking for a while he agreed and made a promise to cooperate with Knight International. But now The A&D group wants to pay more than Knight international. It will be more than enough for him to settle the leftover debts and live the rest of his life well. He could even help his son open a small shop here in the town. So he fell into deep thought.
