C221 – The Deal Was Made
Loong Tianyu sighed with relief as well.
He considered himself fortunate.
If his grandfather truly became Mr. Su’s son, the situation would become incredibly awkward for him.
Nevertheless, Mr. Su’s competence suggested that forming a connection with him might not be a disadvantage.
Why did such thoughts cross his mind?
Loong Tianyu grappled with conflicting emotions.
Meanwhile, Old Man Loong was immensely thrilled.
“Mr. Su, did you infuse something into the chicken soup? My taste buds seem to have revived.”
Su Ming affirmed, “I have a remedy at hand for combating bodily degeneration. Given your age, I included these herbs in the chicken soup.”
“Ah, I see. Thank you immensely.”
Old Man Loong expressed profound gratitude.
He was on the verge of prostrating himself before Su Ming.
Su Ming promptly dissuaded him from doing so.
Quickly diverting the conversation, Su Ming remarked, “The chicken soup merely serves as an appetizer. The pork is the main attraction.”
With that, Su Ming approached another pot and unveiled it.
Taking an empty plate and a fork, Su Ming extracted the pork from within.
This time, Su Ming showcased five distinct varieties of pork.
Back elbow, tail, ribs, ears, and sausages.
In Su Ming’s perception, the elbows exuded a yellow hue, the tails a purple tint, the ribs a pink shade, the ears a blue hue, and the fat intestines a white color.
Yet, to the elderly gentlemen, they all appeared as ordinary pork.
“Why does this pork emanate such a pronounced fruit aroma?”
“Mr. Su, did you introduce any special seasoning into the soup?”
“Indeed, I’ve never savored such delectable soup before!”
They conversed animatedly.
“It’s a trade secret.”
Su Ming offered a mysterious smile.
He couldn’t divulge that this was Fruit Pig, could he?
Su Ming returned with five more small plates.
He divided each portion of meat into five equal servings.
Su Ming also allocated a portion of pork to himself, having never sampled Fruit Pig before.
“This marks my inaugural attempt at preparing pork, and tasting it as well. Let’s experience it together.”
“Agreed!”
They all nodded in assent.
Including Loong Tianyu, they seated themselves separately.
Su Ming grasped a piece of back elbow meat with his chopsticks.
He placed it in his mouth, chewing several times.
It possessed the essence of pork but also carried a banana flavor.
The fruity aroma of this pork segment was exceedingly potent.
Upon finishing, Su Ming experienced profound contentment.
It was an exquisite flavor.
Su Ming sampled the pig’s tail next.
It exhibited a grape-like taste!
The pork ribs exuded the flavor of peaches!
The pig’s ears carried a blueberry essence!
The pig’s fat intestine bore a lychee flavor!
The five pork parts boasted five distinct fruit flavors.
Yet, each emitted an incomparable fragrance.
“This is beyond belief!”
“It’s unmistakably pork, yet the taste of fruits is undeniable?”
“The fruit essence enhances the pork’s flavor even further.”
“It’s truly extraordinary.”
They were enraptured by this culinary marvel.
It was a sensory delight.
None of the delicacies they had previously indulged in could rival this pork.
After half an hour, they had consumed the chicken and all the pork, along with the soup.
Their stomachs were sated, and their countenances radiated satisfaction.
Loong Tianyu, in his unfortunate circumstances, lingered in the corner, barely sipping from the initial bowl of soup and nibbling on the small portion of pork Su Ming had provided.
The remaining dishes remained untouched by him.
The trio of elderly men desired more sustenance.
Exchanging glances, their gazes converged on the kitchen.
For there lay a surplus of pork on the chopping board.
Their desire for that pork was palpable.
“Shall we now discuss business?” Su Ming inquired with a smile.
Su Ming’s smile widened.
“What business?” Old Man Loong and Old Man Yang exclaimed in surprise.
Wang Guohui mirrored their astonishment.
“Weren’t we here to dine?” Wang Guohui interjected.
Su Ming was momentarily dumbfounded upon hearing this.
Had they truly forgotten the primary purpose of their gathering?
Wasn’t he present today to negotiate a property purchase?
“Old Wang, Mr. Su’s words may jog your memory. What’s this about?” Old Man Yang prompted.
“Tianyu, you’re young and have a sharp memory. Please enlighten us,” Old Man Loong implored.
“I’m not sure. I just followed you all here,” Loong Tianyu responded.
“Don’t look at me. I’m the eldest; my memory isn’t what it used to be,” Old Man Yang shrugged.
They exchanged puzzled glances.
The reason eluded them.
Su Ming was at a loss for words.
After consuming the chicken soup, they seemed to have forgotten their agenda.
“Weren’t we here today about the property?” Su Ming interjected.
Su Ming’s reminder sparked recollection.
“I remember now! I wanted to test your memory, but it seems futile,” Old Man Yang remarked.
“I recall it vividly,” Old Man Loong affirmed. Su Ming felt a tinge of apprehension. Old Man Loong continued, “No problem. I can sell my two hotels to Old Yang, but I have a small request.”
“What request?” Su Ming inquired, taken aback.
“Can you sell me the remaining pork?” Old Man Loong proposed.
“No! Mr. Su and I will conduct business directly. What does it have to do with you? Mr. Su, will you sell me the remaining pork?” Old Man Yang interjected.
“If I refuse to sell the property to you, what resources will you have to do business with Mr. Su?” Old Man Loong challenged.
“Then I’ll sell the property directly to Mr. Su!” Old Man Yang countered.
“That won’t do. The pork is rightfully mine!” Old Man Loong insisted.
The tension escalated as they rose to their feet, appearing ready to engage in a dispute.
“Let’s not act hastily,” Su Ming interjected, attempting to defuse the situation.
“I still have a pig and some chickens that I can offer you free of charge. Can we proceed with the deal swiftly?” Su Ming suggested.
Su Ming’s proposal was met with agreement.
“Agreed!”
“No objections!”
They promptly resumed their seats.
Under Su Ming’s astonished gaze, they finalized the contract in less than ten minutes.
Within the suite, a printer swiftly produced the contract.
Their actions suggested concern that Su Ming might retract his agreement.
Ultimately, Su Ming acquired the property for eight billion, a sum significantly below its market value of at least 12 billion.
Old Yang agreed to the reduced price, lowering it by four billion.
This transaction was peculiar: the seller aimed to decrease the price, while the buyer sought to raise it!
Loong Tianyu watched in astonishment.
These seasoned elders had never suffered a loss!
