When one side in a negotiation declares they aren't short on money, there's no need to continue the negotiation!
Mickey quickly contacted several shareholders who owned the rights to the beach, informing them that a wealthy individual from New York wanted to buy their shares.
The shareholders, upon receiving the news, immediately rushed to the town's legal hall and signed the contract with lightning speed.
Firstly, the price offered by Li Qingyuan was a direct 20% premium, and it would be foolish not to make money.
Secondly, the intimidation that Victoria Liz had brought them over the past few days was simply too great!
Faced with a woman rumored to have connections to the Mafia, these local town tycoons didn't dare to contend with her. However, if they were to sell their assets at a low price like this, they would feel resentful.
They were, after all, the local overlords of Emerald Town. Now, being stepped on by an outsider, how could they bear this?
Now that she finally had a chump to take over, why wouldn't she sell? Was she waiting for weeds to grow on the grave?
The whole process took less than two hours. When Victoria Liz got the news and rushed from her afternoon SPA to the legal hall, the original shareholders had already signed and received their checks.
"Damn it!"
Liz saw those people walking out, laughing, and immediately started cursing.
She had spent these days trying to get connections and had already bribed most of the officials in Emerald Town. As long as she could handle these few bumpkins, her beach smuggling plan could be realized.
The thought of expanding her family's business to America excited Liz.
Any large family in the world would lack human touch, and the Mafia family was even more so.
If she didn't want to become a bargaining chip for the family's external transactions, she had to show her value.
So, that's why Liz traveled all the way from Bolivia to New Jersey, USA, and chose such a remote, rural place.
As long as she could have a beach for free smuggling, then not to mention her family, all the major gangs in Latin America would extend an olive branch to her.
Liz gave a signal to the Clerk in the town. The Clerk slightly pursed his lips and showed the location of Li Qingyuan.
"Hi!"
She quickly tidied herself up, smoothing out the slightly wrinkled dress caused by rushing over, then Liz swayed her waist and walked in front of Li Qingyuan.
"I'm Victoria Liz, the owner of the Hendry Hotel, and I'm currently managing that beach." Liz was clearly slightly stunned when she saw Li Qingyuan's face, but she quickly recovered, smiling and extending her hand.
They say you shouldn't hit a smiling face. Seeing that the other person was so polite, the person in question also smiled and reached out his hand. The two sides had a friendly first meeting.
Feeling Liz's little finger slightly hooked in the palm of his hand, Li Qingyuan's expression remained unchanged, unmoved.
Certainly, the girl in front of him did have a good figure. Especially, the tight-fitting dress perfectly outlined her hourglass shape. However, compared to Dada Lio, Liz was still a bit lacking.
Of course, different strokes for different folks. Liz was the mature, voluptuous type, while Dada Lio was the youthful, slightly confused type. If one were to really try to decide who was better, it would really depend on personal preference!
However, compared to Dada Lio's fair skin that seemed like it could be squeezed to produce water, Liz's slightly tanned complexion was clearly a step behind.
"I am Li Qingyuan, and the ownership of that beach has just been transferred to me," Li Qingyuan said with a smile.
"Li, you own the ownership, but I have the right to operate it. Splitting the authority is not beneficial to either of us. How about you sell the ownership to me? I can buy it at the original price!" Liz leaned in close to him, breathing softly on his ear.
"I felt very familiar with you the moment I saw you. How about we have a good chat tonight in the top floor of the hotel?"
The original price of the Emerald Bay's ownership was fifteen million U.S. dollars. This amount of money wasn't even enough for Li Qingyuan to get a new chassis for the Red Queen, but in Emerald Town, it was considered a huge sum.
There was nothing that could be done. This was just a small town in the countryside. You couldn't expect any Tyrannosaurus Rex to pop up, could you?
And although Liz was supposedly the direct descendant of the Bolivian Mafia family, the so-called underworld was just that!
Forget about some unknown mafia family thousands of miles away. Even Kingpin, who claims to be the emperor of the New York underworld, is just picking up scraps behind Stark Industries.
If Liz really had money, she would have bought the ownership outright by throwing money at it. She wouldn't need to resort to threats, inducements, or bribing officials.
But now, seeing that the beach she had her eyes on was bought by someone else, she immediately panicked.
Facing a mysterious rich person who could casually whip out fifteen million US dollars, Liz didn't dare to act rashly before figuring out their background. So, she could only show her greatest sincerity and offer to buy the beach from them at the original price.
Of course, it wouldn't work to give no benefits at all!
Liz felt that her biggest asset was herself. Not to brag, but her strength had been validated by her family and the major leaders in Bolivia.
Otherwise, why do you think a woman would be qualified to manage a business worth tens of millions of dollars?
"I'm of course going to the hotel, but there's no need for me to go to your room!" Feeling the softness against his shoulder, Li Qingyuan said with a smile.
The entire town only had one luxury hotel. He'd already instructed the Red Queen to book three suites, but he hadn't known before coming that the so-called Hendry Hotel was actually the domain of this Latin woman beside him.
"Mr. Li, are you really unwilling to give me any face? And I heard that places like beaches don't make much money. You must have been tricked into buying such a place. It's better to let me manage it!" Liz didn't care that there were other people in the meeting room. She practically wanted to burrow into his arms, her voice so flattering it was almost sickening.
"No need. This small amount of money doesn't matter!" Li Qingyuan gently patted Liz's ample form. Although this woman seemed to be experienced, he didn't particularly dislike her.
Anyway, he wasn't planning to develop a long-term friendship with her. Why bother caring so much about others?
Someone like Dada Lio was naturally someone he could keep by his side as a long-term friend. Someone like Liz would, at most, go their separate ways the next morning. As long as she wasn't sick, that was fine!
"I'm actually a bit interested in the operating rights in Miss Liz's hands. I wonder if you're prepared to sell?" Thinking about this, he felt he could do some business with her while he was at it.
Don't let the fact that Liz had built a luxury hotel fool you into thinking she spent a lot of money. However, that six-story building only seemed luxurious in a rural place like Emerald Town. In fact, the total investment was less than six million USD.
There was no way around it. If Liz could really mobilize hundreds of millions of USD to operate, she would have gone to New York long ago. Why would she come to this broken Emerald Bay?
