Chapter 49 Reach an Agreement

After finishing reading, Watson put down the documents in his hands and looked at Locke, who was a little nervous.

After all, Locke was his friend. He was loyal to his friend. Besides, Watson had been interested in digging treasures after the experience of aboriginals.

This unknown thing made him excited.

Although he was loyal to his friend, it didn't mean that he would give the help in vain. It was the information the other party gave that made him interested in the war relic.

"I've read the information you gave me. It's very detailed and has successfully aroused my interest in this relic. But I can't help you without reward, right?"

Watson said with wrapping his arms around his knees, after tidying up the documents and putting them aside.

Although Watson looked a little casual, the aura around him made Locke know that he was serious.

Thinking about the situation this time, Locke hesitated and said, "How about half of each one?"

Watson frowned at his answer.

He was not very satisfied with the half of each one. He felt that he should take the majority. After all, the other party did not have money so they asked him for help.

But Locke thought it was just right. Although he did ask for help, the value he dug out this time could be returned to the other party, and it must be more than 5 million dollars.

Although it hadn't been dug out yet, Locke was certain about it.

Locke thought that it was he who found the war ruins first. If he had enough money, he wouldn't share it with the other party and turn to him for help.

Watson could see through Locke's mind at a glance, but he would never give in in terms of money. Moreover, he had to offer funds.

The two sides were in a stalemate. In the end, Locke was the first to compromise.

"I admire Mr. Watson's courage."

Locke admitted defeat and expressed his willingness to give in.

Watson smiled with satisfaction and began to speak out his conditions.

"I'm not too greedy. I'm 60 percent, and you are 40 percent." Watson put his hand aside and kept pointing at it with his fingers.

Locke was a little dissatisfied, but he could do nothing.

After hesitating for a while, Locke nodded in agreement.

This time, he just wanted to take into account the overall situation. As long as he mining, he would not lose anything.

Locke kept persuading himself in this way, trying to get rid of the discomfort in his heart.

It was good enough that the other party helped him. He couldn't ask him too much.

Looking at Locke's troubled look, Watson didn't care. Instead, he looked at the void.

Just as Locke nodded in agreement, a hint appeared in the void.

It said that the return rate was four times higher, which meant that five million dollars would turn into twenty million dollars!

And with the weapons under the factory, there were thirty-three million dollars in total.

After seeing the hint, Watson's pupils shrank slightly, and there was a trace of shock in his eyes. But Locke, who was hesitating in his heart, did not see it.

Watson glanced at Locke, who was immersed in his world. Watson licked his lips.

It seemed that this time it was a coincidence. He didn't expect the return rate of this war ruins to be 4 times higher.

If so, he couldn't stop at this point.

"I think I can raise the reward by 10%."

Watson said casually, but his eyes were fixed on Locke.

Hearing this, Locke looked at Watson in disbelief. They had already reached an agreement. How could he raise his reward again at this time?

"Mr. Watson, you've gone too far. Haven't we reached an agreement? And I've already made a concession. What else do you want me to do?"

After all, the other party was only offering funds, and the rest was arranged by himself. Therefore, Locke thought that 60 percent was his biggest concession.

Watson also knew what was on Locke's mind, so he just gave him a comforting look.

"Don't worry. Since I said so, I won't let you suffer any loss."

Hearing Watson's soothing tone, Locke couldn't help but feel a little funny.

At first, he gave half of all, but now he had to take a step back. The other party even talked to him in a soothing tone.

Locke thought Watson had gone too far.

Watson also noticed the anger in Locke's eyes.

"You don't have to be so angry. Since I said so, I won't let you suffer losses."

Watson explained immediately.

He was afraid that if he said a little later, the tens of millions of dollars he had would fly away.

Locke also held his breath and gave Watson a look to listen to his explanation.

Seeing that the other party had stabilized, Watson began to tell him what he would do.

"I will not only invest 5 million dollars but also ask my team to dig it out together. If so, do you think I can get 70% of it?"

As Watson said, he looked at Locke's face. As expected, Locke's face softened when he heard this.

If that was the case, the other party would pay all the money and work hard.

Looking at Locke's hesitation, Watson didn't say anything. He knew that he had to give the other party some time to think carefully. If he kept forcing the other party, it would only be thankless work.

Locke kept thinking whether it was worth it or not, but in the end, he surrendered to the benefits the other party offered.

Since the other party paid and worked, and he could get a share, he'd better agree.

"Now that you have said so, I hope you can keep your words."

Locke heaved a sigh of relief and agreed.

Watson looked at Locke with satisfaction. It seemed that the man was also a person who knew how to behave.

"In that case, I hope that we can have a pleasant cooperation. I hope you can deal with the following things as soon as possible so that our mining plan can be carried out earlier." Watson stood up and reached out his hand, looking at Locke with a smile.

Locke looked back at Watson, stood up helplessly, and held back Watson's hand.

"After all, Mr. Watson is better than me. But I still have to thank you for your investment this time. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid the ruins of the war would have been taken away by others."

Perhaps everything was over. Locke breathed a sigh of relief and felt a little grateful to Watson.

Watson also sensed the gratitude of the other party and was very satisfied with his attitude. If the other party did not appreciate but still resented him, it seemed that he was not thankful to his benefactor.

In the end, Watson earned 70 percent of the earnings by paying and working.

Watson was very satisfied with this situation. After all, if it weren't for the other party, he wouldn't have been able to get the benefit.
