Chapter 703: The Financial Chain

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“A financial burden of 250 million must be quite significant for you, isn’t it?” Luo Feng began.

“How’s your business doing lately? Do you have any outstanding payments? Moreover, for big businessmen like you, there must be quite a consistent monthly expenditure, right?”

“Once there’s a break in the financial chain, patching it up becomes a real hassle. ”

Luo Feng meticulously pointed out the potential pitfalls facing the Blake family’s business. Although Luo Feng hadn’t been involved in too many business dealings himself, he was somewhat familiar with financial intricacies.

Every word from Luo Feng seemed to strike directly at the hearts of the Blake father and son duo.

Even though they still harbored considerable animosity towards Luo Feng, they couldn’t deny the problems he highlighted. Ignoring them would only lead to bigger issues.

After much hesitation, the two decided to temporarily set aside their grudges and engage in a genuine discussion with Luo Feng.

“Let’s change the location. I’m curious to see how you plan to negotiate with us.”

The trio then left the auction venue and strangely, headed to a department store.

It was Luo Feng’s first time witnessing a business negotiation in a department store.

The store was vast. A closer look revealed it wasn’t just about fast-moving consumer goods; they seemed to be involved in nearly every conceivable business.

Various shops were everywhere, bustling with shoppers.

The Blake father and son duo led Luo Feng around, and after a while, Luo Feng couldn’t help but ask, “I thought we were here for business talks? Why does it feel like we’re on a sightseeing tour?”

“Patience,” replied Blake, eventually leading Luo Feng to a rest area. “Our family runs a chain of supermarkets, each as large as the one you’ve just seen.”

“As you’ve guessed, we do face financial pressures, but they aren’t as severe as you think. So, if you’re planning to exploit our situation, I’d suggest you reconsider.”

Having heard this, Luo Feng understood Blake’s intentions.

“Mr. Blake, are you underestimating me? We’re talking about a multi-million dollar deal. Comparing it to mere opportunistic robbery seems a bit much, don’t you think?”

Though Luo Feng’s words were reasoned, suspicion still lingered in Blake’s eyes. However, he chose not to dwell on that point.

“Name your price.”

“You’re here for the gilded gold mask, aren’t you?

“Of course,” Luo Feng responded without evasion. “You saw my keen interest in that mask at the auction. It’s just that your bid was too high for me to secure

11.

Luo Feng deliberately mentioned the price, reminding the Blake duo of the earlier situation.

“Cut to the chase. Just tell us how much you’re willing to pay!” The Blake duo urged, and Luo Feng responded by holding up two fingers. “200 million? Dream on! Impossible!”

“We spent 250 million to secure that item. It’s only been in our possession for half an hour, and you want to knock off 50 million? That’s absurd!” The Blake duo seemed anxious, but Luo Feng shook his head.

“I didn’t say 200 million. I’m willing to pay 100 million. The second finger? It represents a favor I’ll owe you. If you ever need my assistance in the future, I’ll be there.”

Luo Feng’s offer was generous, but the Blake patriarch deemed it as sheer nonsense.

“A favor from you? Who do you think you are, to be worth 150 million?” The duo’s words were blunt, but Luo Feng remained unperturbed.

“That’s my offer. If you agree, the funds will be transferred to your account within a month. If not, there’s nothing more to discuss.”

As Luo Feng rose to leave, he turned back and said, “Regardless of how our negotiation pans out today, I’m determined to obtain that gilded mask, one way or another.”

With that, Luo Feng departed, leaving the Blake duo in a state of unease.

Financial challenges were severe. If addressed promptly, they could be managed. However, even a slight delay could amplify the problem exponentially. Sometimes, a single project facing financial issues could jeopardize several others, even threatening the company’s fundamental operations.

“We have to sell the gilded mask quickly!” The Blake duo internally resolved.

Their personal vendetta against Luo Feng no longer mattered. Saving their company was the top priority..
