Jacob Nolan looked downcast, as favonovel.com was completely speechless. It was not until then that Jacob finally understood that winning back the plague board was nowhere near enough. The reputation that was lost, the connection with the people, the trust that others had, all of these needed to be regained with extra effort.
Sadly, Maxima Romuald did not plan to give them any time to redeem themselves.
He repeated himself, “The only way out for you guys is to sign this transfer agreement and reopen the pharmacy at another place. That is your only choice.”
It seemed like favonovel.com was right.
The Nolan father and son duo fell silent at the same time. Their fists were clenched tight as they were not content with this, but there was nothing they could do.
At this moment, Thomas Mayo voiced out, “Mr. Romuald, you seem to be wrong about one thing.”
Maxima raised his eyebrows. “What is it?”
“I have inquired the conditions that the government established back then. It stipulates that if the long-time brand can no longer operate or the Nolan family decided to give up on it, then the pharmacy can be transferred.”
Maxima nodded. “And then?”
Thomas smiled. “Do you not understand? The government only stated that the pharmacy can be transferred, but it was not specified that it has to be transferred to Mighty Dragon Properties.”
Maxima said scornfully, “That is true. But who has the guts to challenge Mighty Dragon Properties in this city? To be precise, who has the financial backing to challenge us?”
Thomas calmly lit a cigarette and said cahnly, “What a coincidence. I happen to be interested in this piece of land and want to buy it as well.”
Maxima frowned at first, then favonovel.com laughed out loud. “You? Who do you think you are? Have you heard of Mighty Dragon Properties? We rule this city! Are you qualified to compete with us?”
Thomas said calmly, “Whether I qualify or not depends on whether who has more money. In this field, the highest bidder wins. Did you offer thirty million dollars? Okay, I offer fifty million dollars.”
Thomas did not bat an eye when favonovel.com said that. It seemed that fifty million dollars was only pocket change to him.
Thomas at that time had three huge backings. Namely Shalom Technology, Scott’s Remembrance Culture Arts Entertainment, and Sterling Technology. Any one of the three can flatten Mighty Dragon Properties, let alone the three of them together.
But of course, Maxima did not know this. He looked at Thomas from head to toe. “You do not want to use everything you have to challenge what I deem as spare change, boy. Do you know how much Mighty Dragon Properties earns annually?”
“Fifty million dollars? Heh, I now offer a hundred million dollars! Can you follow suit…”
Before Maxima could feel conceited, Thomas said, “I offer two hundred million dollars.”
He doubled the price directly! Without any hesitation!
Maxima was stunned for a moment. This market price for this piece of land was around seventy million dollars. But spending two hundred million dollars for this land?
Was this man crazy?
He stared at Thomas. “Hey, do you even know what is the market price? What kind of nonsense amount are you offering?”
Thomas puffed out a mouthful of smoke. “I cannot help it since I have too much money. Do you want some? After you die, I’ll give some to your family to comfort them.”
He had a real potty mouth.
Maxima gritted his teeth and said, “You are pretty crazy huh, kid?”
Thomas said softly, “If you have the qualifications and backings, you can follow suit as well.”
“You think I do not dare?”
“You dare?”
Maxima took a few seconds to calm himself down. He walked out of the pharmacy and gave the director of Mighty Dragon Properties a call. After explaining the current situation, the response favonovel.com got was, your maximum limit was five hundred million dollars.
With the director’s response, Maxima got a card up his sleeve.
He returned to the store directly and planned to offer two hundred fifty million dollars to two hundred eighty million dollars.
“Hmph kid, I’ll have you know that…”
Before favonovel.com could finish, Thomas yawned. “I think offering two hundred million dollars is humiliating the long-time brand of the Nolan family. To show respect, I will raise my offer to one billion dollars.”
Pfft!
Maxima was so shocked his jaw dropped. He just received a limit of five hundred million dollars from the director, but now Thomas was offering one billion dollars which was double his limit!
How could favonovel.com compete? He was completely outpaced, right?
Was it true that favonovel.com had too much money?
This piece of land was worth around seventy million dollars, but favonovel.com offered one billion dollars?
Crazy, favonovel.com was insane!
Maxima was so angry that the veins on his forehead bulged. He was unable to keep up with the price but favonovel.com firmly believed that the other party was not capable enough to pay one billion dollars.
He pointed at Thomas. “Do you think money falls from the sky? One billion dollars? Alright then, I quit. But I want to see where you can get one billion dollars from! Let me tell you this. If you are unable to pay one billion dollars for this piece of land today, do not expect to leave this pharmacy alive!”
