Wake up suddenly, back to the time when my wife and daughter had an accident

Chapter 1206

Peng Jiacheng sat across from him leisurely, playing with a valuable cigar in his hand.

"2.2 billion, I will buy the Star Building and your ancestral property, but I have to pay in installments."

There was a sense of superiority in his tone, as if he was giving alms, which made Boss Zhou, who was already in a bad mood, even more annoyed.

If it weren't for their many years of friendship, he would have kicked Peng Jiacheng out long ago.

"Boss Peng, I have decided to sell the Star Building to Boss Meng, why are you obsessed with this old building?"

There was a hint of displeasure in Boss Zhou's voice.

Peng Jiacheng's mouth curled up a sly smile, and he said slowly: "2.3 billion, how about it, Boss Zhou? I am very sincere, just increase it by 100 million."

Boss Zhou's heart was stirred, and this unexpected price increase made him frown.

This is indeed an attractive price, but he is also worried that this is Peng Jiacheng's strategy. Once his deal with Meng Haisheng breaks down, Peng Jiacheng may take the opportunity to lower the price.

He pondered for a moment and finally said, "Give me two days. I need to communicate with Meng Haisheng. The business may not be successful, but I don't want to make enemies because of the business."

Peng Jiacheng gently put down the cigar, revealing a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone.

"Old Zhou, the older you get, the more you worry. When you were young, you were also decisive and a man who did great things, but now you are timid."

He stood up, walked to the window, overlooking the street below, and seemed to be thinking about something: "Okay, I'll wait for you for two days. But then I hope we can sign the contract immediately."

Boss Zhou nodded, "I will give you an answer in two days."

Then Peng Jiacheng left the office. Boss Zhou stood in front of the window, watching Peng's back gradually go away, with doubts in his heart, and a sense of inexplicable uneasiness.

He said this ambiguously. Two days later, he only gave a reply, without promising to sell the building to Peng Jiacheng.

The conversation was recorded in full by Zhang Lei and then passed to Meng Haisheng.

Meng Haisheng listened to the recorded conversation quietly in his office. He leaned back in his chair, his face showing no emotion.

He had a plan in mind. The financial center must be his. He came here to pick up bargains, not to be a sucker.

Competing with Peng Jiacheng would only push up the price unnecessarily.

There was only one way, let Peng Jiacheng suffer the consequences.

The two buildings next to the Star Building were already his. Most of the surrounding buildings were newly built and not suitable for demolition and reconstruction.

If Peng Jiacheng wanted to expand the financial center, he had to expand to the seaside. The planning and construction there would be far more complicated than expected.

Meng Haisheng guessed that the reason why Peng Jiacheng dared to raise the price boldly must be that there must be other strong supporters behind him, and these supporters were closely related to the interests of Hong Kong Island, and they could even replan the entire area.

He turned to Zhang Lei, "Check which real estate companies or bigwigs Peng Jiacheng had contact with recently."

"I'll check it right away."

Meng Haisheng leaned back in his chair with ease, his face calm.

"It seems that the leaks in Hong Kong Island are not so easy to pick up." He muttered to himself.

He was impressed by his quick action in handling the Fang Mu incident in Beijing. If he had hesitated for a moment, the Star Building might have fallen into the hands of others.

As the sky gradually darkened, Meng Haisheng's office was shrouded in the afterglow of dusk. He was slightly surprised by Boss Zhou's silence all day.

Just when he was full of doubts, Zhang Lei's phone rang again, bringing new information. Boss Zhou was also investigating Asia City Real Estate.

Meng Haisheng smiled in his heart. It seemed that Boss Zhou was also wary of Peng Jiacheng.

"Zhang Lei, also pay attention to Boss Zhou's safety. If Peng Jiacheng is really the mastermind behind it, Boss Zhou may become his next target."

"I understand."

Zhang Lei immediately responded to the order to arrange personnel to protect Boss Zhou. For him, this kind of exciting task is exactly what he desires.

There was silence in Boss Zhou's office.

He sat in a large chair with his hands folded. The Hong Kong Island outside the window looked particularly charming in the sunset, but his mind was involved in the investigation results of Asia City Real Estate.

Peng Jiacheng's financial center project involves four big men, but it is still in the preliminary planning stage. As for the follow-up, it is still a mess.

This uncertainty made him even more uncertain.

His heart was full of contradictions. Although Peng Jiacheng's proposal was tempting, he felt uneasy about the installment payment method. If Peng only paid the down payment and defaulted on the remaining payment, he would face huge losses.

Meng Haisheng's proposal of a one-time full payment was more secure. But he was afraid that he would mess up the transaction of the entire building in order to get an extra 100 million.

After careful consideration, he took a deep breath and called Meng Haisheng.There was a slight tremor in his voice.

After asking about the details of the transaction, he did not reveal his preference for the transaction, but his words revealed his favor for Meng Haisheng's plan.

Two days later, Boss Zhou finally made up his mind. He called Peng Jiacheng and declined his proposal.

On the phone, he insisted that as a businessman, credibility and commitment are crucial, and he cannot go against his original intention with Meng Haisheng because of a higher offer.

Peng Jiacheng was obviously very unhappy on the other end of the phone, and sarcastically said: "Old Zhou, are you really old and confused? It's better to hand over the Zhou family's business to young people as soon as possible."

Boss Zhou laughed and was not angry.

After hearing this, Boss Zhou just smiled, and was not angry. Instead, he calmly replied: "Indeed, I am considering retiring and handing over the business to my sons."

Peng Jiacheng angrily and disappointedly put forward the final condition: "I offer 2.4 billion, Old Zhou, this price is not available in Hong Kong Island. You think about it again."

Peng Jiacheng knew in his heart that businessmen value interests the most. He believed that the offer of 200 million higher than Meng Haisheng would surely tempt Boss Zhou.

But the more he did so, the more uneasy Boss Zhou felt.

As a shrewd real estate developer, he knew the true value of the Star Building.

The sudden increase of 200 million by Peng Jiacheng was too unreasonable. This unusual generosity made him feel that cooperation might be full of risks.

He preferred to choose a safe buyer rather than fall into the trap that Peng Jiacheng might set.

He didn't want to be involved in troubles that might last for years because of short-term interests.

Boss Zhou responded firmly: "Mr. Peng, this is really not about money. If you had proposed to buy the Star Building a week earlier, even if it was 2 billion, I might have considered it."

Peng Jiacheng on the other end of the phone heard Boss Zhou's resolute attitude and realized that further persuasion was useless.

He sighed lightly. Although he was unwilling in his heart, he also knew that it was useless to insist.

"Well, it seems that we are not destined to cooperate."

After Peng Jiacheng finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
