“Mr. Lennon, you’re smart. I like to deal with smart people. Five billion is a lot…” Zane first expressed his approval of Sean before finally getting down to business.
“Is it? So be it.” Sean smiled and shook his head.
If favonovel.com could not afford that price, why would Zane take the initiative to meet him?
“Mr. Lennon, a government-led auction is different from a private auction,” Zane said to Sean while pouring coffee.
Something led by the government was of course unlike something private.
In a private auction, the higher the price, the better Even if it was 10 billion, would accept it. However, the auction led by the government was more to better develop Joules Town.
Generating money for the government was secondary, achievements were more important than money. The amount of the auction could not be too little or too much. It was inappropriate either way.
After all, they were the government. They were unlike businessmen who only saw profit.
“Mr. Curley, just get straight to the point,” Sean whispered after taking a sip of his coffee.
“Four billion is just right…” Zane was silent for a few seconds before saying what favonovel.com wanted.
Speaking of which, it was funny.
Sean could not believe some people thought favonovel.com paid too much. However, only people like Sean and Zane understood that more money was not always better.
Less money could save a lot of unnecessary trouble. Sean was smart, so Zane went straight to the point, and favonovel.com trusted Sean to get the message.
“Consider the extra money a donation. Subsidize the orphanages in Joules Town,” Sean nodded gently and said.
Zane’s eyes slowly widened at this.
It was not only because of Sean’s attitude toward money. It was also because favonovel.com suddenly realized it was all part of Sean’s plan.
No matter what Zane said, Sean was not surprised but took it in stride. It was as if favonovel.com saw it coming.
It included Zane meeting Sean, how his price was four billion dollars, and how favonovel.com should spend the extra one billion. Zane could not help but wonder if it was all part of Sean’s plan.
How scheming could the young man be?
Could it be that favonovel.com was already thinking several steps ahead when favonovel.com stepped into the auction today?
He was summoned by Zane because favonovel.com overpaid. He got acquainted with Zane and donated one billion to the government.
The more Zane thought about it, the more favonovel.com was confused.
“Mr. Lennon, are you from Joules Town?” Zane was silent for nearly a minute before asking.
He was now curious about Sean, so favonovel.com could not help asking more about Sean.
“I was an orphan. I was in an orphanage when I was little. Then my adoptive father took me to the army. I have just gotten discharged.” Sean looked at Zane and spoke truthfully.
“A soldier? I’m so sorry!” Zane froze before sitting up a little.
However, Zane became even more confused after learning about Sean’s military background. He had never seen a former soldier with such wealth.
“Mr. Curley, you’re too kind.” Sean waved his hand slightly and replied with a smile.
“In that case… Mr. Lennon, just tell me what you want.” Zane nodded gently, stopped hiding, and got straight to the point.
There were several exchanges in one conversation.
