Chapter 463: Ruthless! Just Too Ruthless!

Chapter 463: Chapter 463: Ruthless! Just Too Ruthless!

Dong Jianke became anxious instantly.

It had been so difficult to find someone willing to take over Jinxiu City and bear its losses; if he really allowed him to storm off, then the project would be thoroughly ruined in his hands!

"President Chen, please don’t be angry. Our business negotiations naturally require both flexibility and measure."

"How about this, how much are you willing to offer? Name your price."

Dong Jianke pulled Chen Xuan back with a fawning expression on his face.

Chen Xuan blew out a ring of smoke casually, "Eight billion! I won’t pay a penny more!"

"What? Eight billion?!" Dong Jianke was stunned.

This was quite a bit different from his expected price point.

"President Chen, do you realize that I spent fifteen billion just to acquire this plot of land? And then so much more on construction. With your eight billion, I can’t even recoup my capital!"

Chen Xuan smiled faintly, "Let me ask you one question, if you’ve already poured so much money into it, why do you want to sell it?"

"I..." Dong Jianke was so choked up that he couldn’t speak.

"Han Chengye is foolish, Ding Liang is foolish; do you take me for a fool as well?"

"I’ve told you before, there’s something wrong with this construction site. The feng shui is off. Building houses here is bound to keep leading to accidents."

"How about it, has it come true now?"

Dong Jianke coughed dryly twice, stubbornly saying, "Actually, it’s still alright, it’s just some minor irrelevant issues that can be handled with a little effort and won’t have any major impact."

"Minor issues?" Chen Xuan snorted coldly, "So you’re saying, the many people that died on your construction site last night, that’s a small matter now?"

Dong Jianke was shocked, "You... how did you know?!"

Notably, Dong Jianke had also just learned the news and had specifically instructed his people not to let the news get out.

Yet, unsuspectingly, Chen Xuan had just blurted it out, sending chills down Dong Jianke’s spine.

Chen Xuan’s expression was calm, "I’ve said before, I can read feng shui. As soon as I arrived, I could see that there was a thick aura of blood over your construction site, indicating that at least twenty or more people had died! Am I right or not?"

Dong Jianke was incredibly shocked. He couldn’t believe that the other man could tell just by looking that people had died on his construction site, and even the number of deaths he mentioned was so accurate!

This admiration made Dong Jianke’s hair stand on end.

"A sage! President Chen is truly a sage!" Dong Jianke exclaimed with genuine amazement.

Chen Xuan was indifferent to Dong Jianke’s flattery, "Whether I’m a sage or not is not important. What I want to ask is, President Dong, with such a big incident on your construction site, do you think you can still continue construction?"

"This..." Dong Jianke fell into deep thought.

He was very aware that Chen Xuan’s words were absolutely right.

All those previous chaotic incidents might have been tolerable, but now with such a major homicide case, who knew what other calamity might happen next!

In fact, this time could be considered somewhat lucky for Dong Jianke since the construction site was closed and practically empty. If those who died had been his workers, who knows how much money he might have to compensate!

After thinking it over, Dong Jianke felt that he really couldn’t hold on to the Jinxiu City project any longer.

This damn thing was like a ticking time bomb, ready to explode at any moment!

But the price of eight billion was truly hard for Dong Jianke to accept.

"President Chen, how about this, let’s both make a concession. I’ll lower it a little more, and you increase your offer a little. What do you think?" Dong Jianke ventured to ask.

Chen Xuan’s face showed impatience, "President Dong, Jinxiu City is like a hot potato; and yet, you’re still hoping to sell it at a good price?"

"How about this, why don’t you wait and see if there’s someone else willing to buy it at a higher price?"

"I have other matters, so I’ll take my leave now!"

Having said that, Chen Xuan turned around to leave.

"President Chen, don’t rush off. We can talk things over calmly, President Chen?"

This time, no matter how desperately Dong Jianke tried, he couldn’t get Chen Xuan to stay.

In the blink of an eye, Chen Xuan had already left the company, and Dong Jianke was truly in a panic.

"President Chen, can’t you just add a little more?" Dong Jianke pleaded almost beseechingly.

Chen Xuan didn’t even glance at him, not looking back, "I’ve already said, eight billion, not a penny more!"

Dong Jianke, filled with reluctance, continued to plead, "At least add a little more, don’t let me lose so much. Fifteen billion, not ten billion is also fine, President Chen, I’m begging you, you just..."

"Fine, ten billion it is. I’ll take the loss, consider it making friends with President Dong!" Chen Xuan suddenly turned around, grabbing Dong Jianke’s hand.

Dong Jianke: "..."

At that moment, Dong Jianke was a bit stunned.

Ten billion?

Did he just say ten billion?

Dammit, ten billion, and I just sold a project worth over thirty billion?

This is too big a loss, isn’t it?!

Moreover, seeing Chen Xuan’s reaction, Dong Jianke realized that the other party’s psychological price must have been ten billion all along. The tough attitude he had put on before was simply to lure him into the trap!

Devious!

So damn devious!

Dong Jianke never dreamt that, after half a lifetime in the business world, he would end up being outplayed by a young man!

"President Chen, ten billion is a bit too little, you see, couldn’t we..."

Realizing he had misspoken, Dong Jianke wanted to continue bargaining.

However, as soon as he uttered these words, Chen Xuan’s face immediately turned gloomy.

"President Dong, I advise you to take a good deal when you see one."

"Right now, the news of the death at your company hasn’t spread, your project can still be sold."

"But what if this news accidentally reaches the ears of other developers, do you think anyone would still want to pick up your project?!"

A few words were enough to send a chill down Dong Jianke’s spine.

Dong Jianke wasn’t foolish, he could clearly hear the underlying threat in Chen Xuan’s words.

Chen Xuan’s meaning was clear: if Dong Jianke dared to renege on the deal, he would immediately inform all developers about the fatality at the Jinxiu City project.

By then, the project would be completely ruined in Dong Jianke’s hands.

He wouldn’t get a penny!

At this moment, Dong Jianke was both angry and shocked.

Threat!

This was an outright threat!

When discussing cooperation, his demeanor was all smiles and affable, but the moment he turned around, he became sharp and direct to the point!

This man in front of him was too terrifying!

Dong Jianke knew very well that someone like Chen Xuan, with power and tactics, was not someone he could afford to offend lightly.

The wisest choice was to make friends with the other party.

And at the moment, it seemed Dong Jianke had no other option.

"Alright, since President Chen is so sincere, then it’s settled! Ten billion, the Jinxiu City project is yours!" Dong Jianke said through gritted teeth.

Afterward, Dong Jianke had someone prepare the contract, and once both parties signed, Chen Xuan had Xue Qin transfer the money to Jianke Real Estate’s account.

However, Dong Jianke’s secretary quickly noticed something was amiss, "President Dong, the amount is wrong, wasn’t it agreed to be ten billion? Why is this only nine billion?"

Chen Xuan took a sip of tea, his face unperturbed, "Oh, no problem. Didn’t our Tianhui Construction already invest a billion before?"

Dong Jianke: "..."

Dong Jianke was so angry he wanted to curse.

Dammit, so you’ve been waiting here for me?

Cruel!

This is just too ruthless!

Having been in the business world for so many years, Chen Xuan was definitely the most ruthless businessman Dong Jianke had ever seen!
