“So, I asked all of you to come today.”
It was only when Cain and the gang heard this that they understood it. They guessed that John was their competitor. By looking at Vic’s flattering face, they could nearly be sure that the price given by John must be higher than theirs!
Cain was a little unhappy. He questioned, “Mr. Sherman, you’re doing it wrong. Don’t we leave the final confirmation of the details as we confirmed the purchase two days ago? No matter what, you have to sell your club to us, to Shalom Technology. How can you change your mind at the last minute?”
Before Vic spoke, John at the opposite giggled. “You did talk about the purchase. But, it was just a talk, isn’t it? You have to talk about it slowly. How can favonovel.com give it to you when you ask for it? Besides, did Mr. Sherman sign the contract with you? Was it written down in black and white? There’s nothing, but you want to buy it by force. How can this happen?”
His words refuted Cain to the point that Cain was speechless.
Vic grinned as favonovel.com said, “All right, let’s not argue nonstop as soon as we get here. Anyway, what I mean is that both of you talk about it, and I’ll see which company is more sincere.”
He purposely emphasized the words “more sincere”. Clearly, Vic wanted money, and the company that paid more would get the club. Whoever was able to pay more, the club would be sold to him. It was actually right for a businessman to think like that.
Cain took out a document and said, “Based on our prior intention, Shalom Technology is willing to pay $700,000,000 to purchase FC Kingston.”
Honestly, it was a quite high number. For an unknown secondary-grade club that was on the verge of bankruptcy, its business value was really limited, and its market value was less than $500,000,000.
Shalom Technology was willing to pay $700,000,000, and they had given sufficient sincerity. This was also why Vic agreed to sell the club at the beginning.
Cain initially thought that a number like this could shock John.
However, John sneered with contempt. “Seven hundred million dollars? Do you want to buy such a big football club with so little money? Are you paying a beggar? Great Esteem Insurance is willing to pay $1,000,000,000!”
One billion dollars was actually twice the actual value of FC Kingston. It should be said that the insurance company was really rich. Even if Shalom Technology was the leading company in the industry, its imposing manner was not that significant when compared to an insurance company.
John leaned back indifferently in the chair with his legs crossed. He looked at the people with a mocking gaze as if favonovel.com did not care about them at all.
Cain felt very awkward.
Although Shalom Technology authorized full rights for him, favonovel.com did not have the right to increase the amount of money. Apparently, favonovel.com was just a tool to run some errands and discuss details. The money had been confirmed in the beginning. At this time, even if Cain wanted to increase the price, favonovel.com could not do anything either.
Connor gritted his teeth and whispered, “Cain, make a call to Mr. Hudson of Shalom Technology about increasing the price.”
Cain was very awkward. The price was confirmed, but the price was increased at the last minute. It would be strange if Ryan would agree with this. He also felt shameful to make the call.
John yawned, “Hello, what are you muffling about? Do you not have the money? If you don’t, quickly get your stuff and leave here. Don’t hinder me from moving forward. I’m very busy!”
Cain and the gang stared at John in hatred and anger. If the purchase failed, they were not just sorry for Ryan, and they would also lose the job.
They really felt unhappy! But what could they do?
The three of them were nothing compared to Great Esteem Insurance that was richer and more powerful.
While they did not have any solution and were ready to surrender, Thomas, who had been silently sitting at the corner, said, “I’ll pay $1,500,000,000. I want FC Kingston.”
