Li Zhaofeng said, "Isn't this contracting price too high?"
Zhang Jianmin explained, "All the materials for this house are the best, and the house is large. Now labor costs are also high; ordinary workers cost two hundred a day, and skilled technicians for water and electricity are charged by the hour. Even those small 2000 square foot villas outside have a contracting price of twenty to thirty million US Dollars, so your price isn't high."
Li Zhaofeng said, "Can the price still be negotiated?"
Zhang Jianguo was a bit put in a difficult position, "It's possible, but we can't negotiate too much."
"Mr. Zhang, we are old acquaintances, why don't you give me a bottom price, then both sides can be satisfied."
Zhang Jianguo looked at Li Zhaofeng, then glanced at Luke, gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, we've been friends for so many years.
I'll give you a bottom price, 1.47 million US Dollars."
Luke asked, "How long will this house take to complete?"
