That afternoon.
Inside the coffee shop.
When Boss Tian rushed over, his forehead was covered in sweat.
He had been incredibly busy all day.
However, upon seeing Vice President Li, Boss Tian still managed to squeeze out a smile.
As soon as Boss Tian sat down, he immediately took a file out of his briefcase.
"Mr. Li, take a look. These are the title documents for my plot of land."
"I dare say that in all of Cyan Mountain Town, my plot has the best location and the largest area!"
Boss Tian spoke as he placed the land documents in front of Vice President Li.
The file Vice President Li had previously gotten from Lin Feng was already very comprehensive.
Nevertheless, Vice President Li picked up the file and examined it carefully.
"To be honest with you, Boss Tian, of all the properties I’ve looked at, yours is indeed the one that best fits our boss’s requirements."
"However, there are other suitable plots in other towns, but they all have some aspect or another that’s not quite satisfactory."
Hearing this, Boss Tian understood the situation.
’It seems Vice President Li doesn’t absolutely have to have my land.’
’But the competitive edge of my plot is that it meets all of their conditions.’
So, upon hearing this, a smile appeared on Boss Tian’s face.
Vice President Li noticed Boss Tian’s expression; he had said those words specifically for Boss Tian’s benefit.
"Our boss’s budget is limited, so in terms of price..."
Hearing Vice President Li bring up the price, Boss Tian gradually came back to his senses.
"Mr. Li, my plot is 140,000 square meters in total. Based on market prices, it should be around 4,200 per square meter."
"If we calculate based on the market price, it should be 588 million."
"But you opened with 480 million. That price difference is really quite large!"
Boss Tian’s expression was very serious as he negotiated.
Mainly because it was over a hundred million less in an instant.
That was truly too much of a drop.
"Boss Tian, your plot is 140,000 square meters, but not all of it is suitable for building a factory."
Although Boss Tian’s tone was grave, Vice President Li’s expression didn’t change.
"Well, I can knock off the extra eight million. 580 million for 140,000 square meters. I’m not trying to rip you off."
"A plot like this is worth that much on the current market."
Boss Tian said with a sincere tone.
However, when it came to the price, Vice President Li naturally wanted to push it down further.
"How about this, Boss Tian. I don’t want to waste too much time on the price either."
"550 million. Take it or leave it. If you can accept this, Boss Tian, we can get the paperwork done in the next couple of days."
"But if you feel this price is unacceptable, Boss Tian, then I don’t think there’s any need for us to continue this conversation."
Vice President Li laid down an ultimatum.
Boss Tian could either accept the price...
...or give up on this deal with Vice President Li.
Boss Tian was deeply conflicted.
In truth, Boss Tian’s psychological bottom line was around 560 million.
After all, land could sell on the current market for 4,000 per square meter.
But Vice President Li had cut another 10 million from his bottom line.
This left Boss Tian feeling torn.
Boss Tian picked up his cup and took a large gulp of bitter coffee.
The sharp taste on his palate gradually calmed him down.
From the moment he first called Vice President Li to now, Boss Tian had become basically certain that Vice President Li really did have other options.
After all, Vice President Li’s demeanor and tough stance all indicated that he wasn’t worried about finding a seller.
So, subconsciously, Boss Tian believed that if he turned down Vice President Li, Vice President Li would immediately turn around and choose to work with someone else.
And his plot of land would lose its buyer for good.
The main thing was, Boss Tian knew very well that his most pressing need was capital.
Waiting for the next buyer with the financial means to purchase the land to appear... who knew when that would be.
So, after some thought, Boss Tian felt he had to seize this opportunity.
As for the ten million, under these circumstances, it was acceptable to him.
Sitting across from Boss Tian, Vice President Li waited unhurriedly.
Waiting for Boss Tian to give in.
From the moment he started re-engaging with Boss Tian, Vice President Li had been constantly laying the groundwork.
The goal was to put a certain amount of psychological pressure on Boss Tian.
It now seemed that all of Vice President Li’s previous hints had taken effect.
At the very least, Boss Tian was now slowly compromising.
Before long, Boss Tian indeed looked up and said, "550 million. I can accept that price."
When Boss Tian agreed, Vice President Li let out an imperceptible sigh of relief.
Everything he had done before was to get Boss Tian to take the bait.
If Boss Tian had ultimately gotten hung up on that bit of money and refused to take the bait, things would have probably become troublesome for Vice President Li.
But as it stood, Vice President Li’s psychological tactics had played out quite well.
"Since you’ve agreed, Boss Tian, we can get the relevant paperwork done in the next couple of days."
Vice President Li readily took out a contract.
Boss Tian filled in the agreed-upon price on the contract.
Vice President Li signed his name without hesitation. "A pleasure doing business with you, Boss Tian."
Boss Tian gave a wry smile. "I don’t know which company managed to recruit a talent like you, Mr. Li, but you’re a hell of a negotiator."
At this point, a cryptic smile appeared on Boss Tian’s face. "Actually, I don’t have many major assets in Cyan Mountain Town. My main companies are in Southern Peng City. I wonder, would you consider coming to Peng City for your career development, Mr. Li?"
Having just secured the deal, Vice President Li had barely let out a sigh of relief.
He never expected Boss Tian to suddenly try and poach him.
For a moment, Vice President Li didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
"I haven’t really considered it, but I thank you for your kind offer, Boss Tian."
Ever since he started dealing with Vice President Li, Boss Tian had felt that he was an impressive figure.
He was more or less aware that someone like that couldn’t be easily poached.
But Boss Tian cherished talent, which was why he had asked.
Since Vice President Li wasn’t interested, Boss Tian didn’t press the issue.
He simply remarked with a sigh:
"To have someone as capable as you, Mr. Li, working for his company, your boss must be a very capable person himself!"
Thinking of Lin Feng, a smile of admiration appeared on Vice President Li’s face. "That’s true. Our boss, Mr. Lin, is indeed quite formidable."
Seeing the look on Vice President Li’s face, Boss Tian’s curiosity was piqued.
"Mr. Li, what kind of person is your boss?"
In any case, the two had already finished discussing business matters.
The conversation naturally shifted to casual chat.
So when Boss Tian mentioned Lin Feng, Vice President Li thought for a moment and said:
"Our President Lin is incredibly skilled. He single-handedly multiplied the company’s size several times over in just two months."
Vice President Li said this nonchalantly.
However, Boss Tian was a businessman himself.
So he knew exactly how formidable someone had to be to lead a company and multiply its scale within one or two months.
"That’s amazing! Such powerful ability is truly rare!"
Boss Tian exclaimed with sincere admiration.
At the same time, Boss Tian also understood why a man as capable as Vice President Li was willing to stay at this company.
Because working alongside someone even more capable is more comfortable and provides more room to learn.
Vice President Li couldn’t help but recall Lin Feng’s decisive and ruthless actions in the United States stock market.
So he nodded. "Our Mr. Lin is indeed very capable."
At this moment, in Boss Tian’s mind, a boss who could earn praise from an elite like Vice President Li had to be a middle-aged man.
So Boss Tian’s next question was a bit off the mark.
"So, where do Mr. Lin’s children go to school?"
Boss Tian asked very naturally.
The question completely stumped Vice President Li.
"What children?"
Seeing that Vice President Li’s confused look didn’t seem feigned, Boss Tian was also a bit baffled. "Your boss, Mr. Lin—where do his kids go to school?"
Vice President Li finally understood, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
"Our President Lin isn’t that old. He’s very young."
Hearing this, it was Boss Tian’s turn to be bewildered. "Then how old is he?"
Vice President Li wrote a number on the table. "Our President Lin is a freshman in college this year. He’s still in university."
Now Boss Tian was so shocked his jaw was about to drop.
"What?"
"Just a college freshman, and he’s already that capable?"
Seeing the astonished look on Boss Tian’s face, Vice President Li nodded.
"To be honest, when I first joined the company, I also found it hard to believe that someone so young could support such a large company."
"But now, the facts have proven that Mr. Lin’s abilities are formidable. The entire company’s operations are under his control."
Boss Tian simply couldn’t imagine a college freshman possessing such immense ability.
He subconsciously retorted, "Is this Mr. Lin from a rich family?"
Vice President Li smiled and shook his head. "Not at all. He’s truly self-made."
Boss Tian looked as if his entire worldview had been shattered.
Vice President Li chuckled lightly and said, "There are quite a few exceptionally capable people in the younger generation these days."
"You can’t underestimate them!"
Boss Tian, feeling this deeply, nodded in agreement.
They arranged to handle the transfer procedures the next morning. Before leaving, Boss Tian specifically reminded Vice President Li:
"According to the contract, you need to pay me the twenty percent down payment before seven o’clock tonight."
After Boss Tian left, Vice President Li immediately called Lin Feng.
After all, up to this point, Vice President Li wasn’t sure if Lin Feng had already prepared such a massive sum of money.
