Chapter 761
Chapter: 761
The realization that Adrian held both him and Jasper in such low regard left a sour taste in his mouth. Sure, plenty of people had known they couldn’t hold a candle to Theodore, but this was the first time anyone had ridiculed them to their faces.
In that instant, he found himself almost grateful for Theodore’s passing. At last, he could step out of the shadow of that overbearing so-and-so. Being constantly weighed against his own son was nothing short of a cruel joke.
After what felt like an eternity, Adrian slowly lifted his head, finally showing his hand. “Well, | don’t give a damn about what I’ve already lost on you.”
Relief was just starting to bloom in Darian when Adrian dropped his next bombshell. “But, I’m out of the Anderson Group. | want you to buy back the shares | hold.”
Adrian’s words left Darian with mixed feelings. On the one hand, he was happy that the shares of the Anderson Group would no Longer be given to outsiders. But on the other hand, he was worried that he could not find any money now.
Darian was silent for a moment and then finally said, “Not now, | don’t have that much cash on hand.”
He was still worried about the Lack of funds just now, so it’s unlikely that he would be able to find the money to buy back Anderson Group shares now.
Adrian didn’t seem the least bit surprised by Darian’s financial situation and said offhandedly, “Based on the current market value of Anderson Group shares, the total value of the shares | hold is 2.5 billion. If you buy them back now, | can sell them back to you for another 5% off.”
Darian was a Little moved by the offer.
If he bought those shares from Adrian, he would regain full ownership of the Anderson Group and at the lowest cost. He would then have complete control over the company.
But at the same time, if he bought back the Anderson Group with this money, it meant that he had to abandon the Olympic Village project.
Darian was unwilling to back out of this project at this point. With an embarrassed look, Darian tried to explain. “Mr. Perkins, it’s not that | don’t want to, it’s...”
“Well, | can still reduce the price by another 3%. That's the lowest price you can get. Think carefully. If you don’t agree, you won't be able to get such a low price in the future,” Adrian said causally, with his legs crossed.
Seeing that Adrian just lowered the price time and time again, Darian figured that perhaps Adrian was trying to get rid of the mess that was the Anderson Group. After all, since Theodore’s death, Anderson Group shares had plummeted.
Thinking of this, Darian made up his mind.
With a smile on his face, he said calmly, “Mr. Perkins, I’m really strapped for money these days. Since you have deep pockets, you can take the shares.”
As soon as Darian said so, Adrian’s relaxed expression turned cold.
Seeing the dissatisfied look on Adrian’s face, Darian felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart.
After a moment of silence, Adrian suddenly said, “I know you are preparing to bid for the Olympic Village project.” Upon hearing this, a nervous expression appeared on Darian’s face and he stared at Adrian with his eyes wide open.
Seeing the expression on Darian’s face, Adrian Laughed and said, “Let's just say that the BRD Group's floor price for this project is 10 billion. Can you match that?”
10 billion? Darian’s heart sank upon hearing this. This sum was far beyond what he had expected.
While Darian was confused and Lost in thought, Adrian said again, “By the way, | am personally responsible for this tender project. If you are ready to buy Anderson Group shares now, | can withdraw from the bidding on behalf of BRD Group.”
