Chapter 95: How Much Will You Pay?

"Ah-hem..."

A cough came from outside the door.

Dean Zhang and Professor Wang entered the room.

Guo Qian immediately stood up, beaming with a smile, and extended his hand, "Dean Li..."

But Dean Li looked around and asked, "Who is Liu Di?"

"That's me."

Liu Di nodded slightly.

"Oh my, such a talented young man! Truly admirable!"

Dean Li bypassed Guo Qian and shook Liu Di's hand firmly!

Guo Qian was left standing there, dumbfounded and embarrassed.

Then, Dean Li personally pulled over a chair and sat down in front of Liu Di and Guo Qian.

Very close!

The prestigious Dean of Haishi University, Li Weimin, was now eager and enthusiastic!

"Let's talk about the land issue!"

Dean Li's eyes sparkled!

"Guo Qian, you first. How much are you willing to offer?"

Hearing this, Guo Qian straightened his back instantly.

He sneered inwardly.

Heh, these old academics, always putting on a sanctimonious front!

But in the end, they still care about money?

Asking for a price? As long as that's the case, it's easy to handle. There's nothing money can't solve!

Guo Qian rubbed his hands together and said solemnly, "Dean Li, our group is very sincere about this land. In the future, it will be developed into one of the most luxurious villa areas in the Haishi suburbs!"

"Of course, your piece of land alone isn't enough. Our group is powerful, and we plan to acquire the surrounding 2 square kilometers of land. Negotiations are already underway, and the results will come soon!"

Dean Li nodded thoughtfully, "Hmm, just tell me the price."

Guo Qian felt even more confident!

He cast a mocking glance at Liu Di, making a decision in his mind!

Then, Guo Qian gritted his teeth and squeezed out two words, "1 billion!"

After naming the price, Guo Qian was extremely arrogant!

Liu Di, I'm offering twice the market value. Let's see how you compete with me!

And Dean Li, this greedy old man, I've given a price so high that you can't refuse!

5 billion! It's worth it to vent this anger that's been pent up for years!

Guo Qian stared intently at Dean Li, waiting for an answer.

Dean Li smacked his lips indifferently and said, "Got it."

Then, he turned to Liu Di, his face full of warmth, "Liu Di, how about you? How much can you offer?"

Guo Qian was stunned.

This Dean Li is really greedy!

He still wants to compare?

Fine, I'll wait!

Liu Di, however, showed a rather troubled expression.

He touched his chin and smiled, "I can only offer 2 million."

Bang!

Dean Li slammed the table in front of him and stood up abruptly!

His face was flushed!

He shouted excitedly, "2 million? That's great, it's settled!"

Pfft...

Guo Qian almost spat blood on the spot!

Is something wrong with my ears?

Did I hear that right?

"Dean Li, you must be mistaken! He said 2 million, not 2 billion, while I offered 1 billion!"

Guo Qian's eyes widened as he shouted excitedly.

At this moment, Li Weimin had an expression of complete normalcy, "Ah, yes, I didn't mishear. 2 million? That's enough. That building has been abandoned for a long time. It's just a place where we store old stuff!"

"A dilapidated warehouse, selling it for 2 million, what's the problem? Right, Professor Wang?"

Professor Wang Yuan Kui, who had been standing by, also nodded in agreement, "I think it's perfectly reasonable."

"You..."

Guo Qian's face suddenly twisted in anger, clutching his chest, stammering.

To an outsider, it looked like this guy was having a heart attack!

"Are you kidding me..."

"Are you all in on this together to mess with me..."

Guo Qian almost gritted his teeth as he spoke.

"Guo Qian, the decision is made! We're selling the 'experimental graveyard' to Liu Di for 2 million!"

"There's nothing wrong with that!"

Dean Li glared at Guo Qian, then turned to Liu Di with a smile, "Liu Di, let's discuss the patent matter now, shall we?"

"Patents?"

"What patents?"

Guo Qian's ears perked up, immediately catching the key word, and he wouldn't let it go!

Professor Wang's face changed, and he scolded, "Guo Qian, since you heard it's about patents, you should know that this is confidential. You should leave now!"

Under the reprimands of Professor Wang and Dean Zhang, Guo Qian had no choice.

He left in anger!

Just as he was about to step out the door, Liu Di chuckled.

"What are you laughing at? I'm telling you, even if you buy the experimental graveyard, it's useless! The surrounding land is all mine. I'll isolate you, cut off your water and electricity!"

Guo Qian gritted his teeth, eyes practically shooting sparks!

Liu Di replied calmly, "What a coincidence, I was just about to tell you about that."

"Just five minutes ago, my assistant helped me purchase all the land surrounding the experimental graveyard!"

"Your group has no chance!"

Guo Qian's heart trembled, "Impossible!"

"Why not? It's just a matter of money. Your group offered 3 billion; I offered 5 billion!"

"The other party is just a private company, of course, they'd sell to the highest bidder!"

Liu Di finished speaking, smiling faintly at Guo Qian.

"That's impossible!"

"How could you have that much money? Don't think I don't know, you're poor, your mom is just a worker!"

Guo Qian shouted hysterically.

Suddenly, his phone buzzed with a message: The new real estate project has completely fallen through. The land was bought by someone else, and we've lost all our initial investment!

Guo Qian was stunned on the spot!

"Liu Di, why are you doing this?"

Liu Di pursed his lips, "I just want some peace and quiet."

Guo Qian was completely dumbfounded!

Like being struck by lightning!

You ruined my project just for such a simple reason?

He muttered, "How is this possible... You crushed me in college... Now, even in the real world, you still crush me... I thought I was rich, but you're richer..."

"Aunt matched Yan'er with me... because you're poor... and I'm rich..."

"Yet..."

"How can this be!"

"I can't accept this..."

Thud!

Guo Qian couldn't finish his sentence.

He was shoved out of the office by Professor Wang, who then slammed the door shut!

Sitting on the sofa, Liu Di looked at his former friend who had turned into this state.

He couldn't help but feel a bit melancholic.

He sighed, "You are weak, so you don't understand. I never wanted to compete with you. It's all in your head."
