Chapter 1320: Chapter 1239: Human Greed is Insatiable Like a Snake Swallowing an Elephant_3

This matter has always been weighing heavily on Li Ni’s mind.

If negotiations fail, his supply of raw materials will be cut off!

Then he wouldn’t be able to continue work!

He could purchase soil from them, but the owner of the land now is a major corporation who wouldn’t care about the money.

If there’s a change in the person in charge, whether they would exploit their power for personal gain, that’s uncertain.

Moreover, seeing their dire need for that specific type of Xiao Hongni clay, would they sit on the ground and hike up the price enormously? It’s possible!

Although Li Ni financed five million at Xue Lian Wan He, that sum wasn’t handed over all at once. Inclusive of equipment purchases, experimental funds, and subsequent commercial operations, it’s a lengthy process.

Li Ni fears the money he currently has might be tight!

When telling Bai Xiaosheng about the situation, Li Ni actually felt quite heavy-hearted.

He’s not exactly an optimist, facing issues, he first thinks of the worst outcome.

This isn’t a good habit; it tires people out and easily leads to pessimism!

However, now that Bai Xiaosheng is here, Li Ni feels that he is a capable man and suddenly feels like the burden has been lifted.

However, after Li Ni’s lengthy exposition, when he looked at Bai Xiaosheng, he found him engrossed in his phone!

Li Ni was shocked.

"Hey, hey, are you even listening to me."

"I’m listening, just focus on driving."

Bai Xiaosheng did not look up, still texting.

Li Ni instantly felt less confident about Bai Xiaosheng...

Dacheng Northern District is a new area, filled with constructing tall buildings, and the roads are impressively wide, though not many vehicles are around.

Li Ni drove Bai Xiaosheng and the other two, turning into a fenced plot of land. The land stretched vast, dotted with vegetation and trees. At the entrance to one side, there were three rows of prefabricated color steel houses common on construction sites, which appeared to be of decent quality from the outside, all equipped with external air conditioning units.

Li Ni parked the car, then took Bai Xiaosheng and the others straight to a specific location.

"Forgot to tell you about the situation here. Originally, there were two main persons responsible for this land. The top person is often absent, and the second in command is actually in charge. I don’t know if the change of the company owning the land will affect the person in charge. It might not, since the land is actually managed by a third-party group. With the change of ownership, a short-term handover might not be that fast, plus, these third-party people are familiar with the area here, they only require a small payment, and it’s convenient for them too." Along the way, Li Ni explained to Bai Xiaosheng, "Now that I think about it, since the third-party people only do land leveling work, perhaps there’s no need to change them."

Bai Xiaosheng nodded, following Li Ni with Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying.

Upon arriving at the door of a prefabricated color steel house, Li Ni knocked on the door, and a lazy voice came from inside, "Come in!"

"That voice sounds familiar, it seems to be the old Han!" Li Ni’s eyes lit up.

Thinking it would be troublesome if there was a change in the responsible person, but now seeing it’s still the same person, that would make things easier!

Li Ni pushed the door open.

Bai Xiaosheng and the others followed him.

In the office, a man with a scruffy beard dangled a cigarette, his eyes glued to the computer screen, one hand on the keyboard and the other on the mouse, intensely engaged, but after a moment, he sighed heavily, pushed the mouse and keyboard, and leaned back in his chair, removing the cigarette from his mouth, extinguishing it in the ashtray.

"Yo, isn’t this Mr. Li Ni?" The scruffy-bearded old Han suddenly brightened his eyes, grinned, showing his smoke-stained yellow teeth.

Before getting up, he first maneuvered the mouse to close something.

"Mr. Han, what’s keeping you busy?" Li Ni smiled.

"Just dealing with some documents." Old Han chuckled.

Bai Xiaosheng found it amusing.

The moment they entered and saw old Han’s demeanor, it was clear he was playing games.

"Come, come, have a seat." Old Han gestured towards the sofa by the side for Li Ni and the others.

Despite being a prefabricated color steel office, the interior didn’t look bad at all, equipped with desks, computers, sofas, air conditioning, and everything a regular office would have, albeit a bit messy.

"These are my friends," Li Ni briefly introduced.

Old Han shook hands with each, his eyes particularly bright when facing Lin Weiwei, extending the handshake for an extra second.

"Mr. Han, it’s about what I mentioned last time, the price remains the same, we want to haul some more Xiao Hongni." Li Ni smiled.

Since it’s still the same person, that simplifies matters a lot.

Li Ni thought it simple, but old Han he-he laughed, tilting his head, scratching the itch behind his ear with his little finger, and said to Li Ni, "Originally, there would be no problem. But, you see, we’ve got a new owner now, a big corporation, they manage strictly. I can’t really do this deal with you on the side, right."

"But it’s still you managing here, right? I see all familiar faces outside." Li Ni couldn’t help but say.

Bai Xiaosheng surrendered.

He had no idea how Li Ni had even established this contact previously; old Han clearly had the expression of wanting to raise his price.

Perhaps, was it because the game needed recharging?

Lin Weiwei, Lei Ying, and Bai Xiaosheng, with two or three years of experience, also saw through this.

Only Li Ni still "didn’t get it".

"Mr. Li, this new owner sends people to inspect every few days, don’t I need to host them well? If they find something out, I would need something good to shut them up, right? Then this money just won’t be enough." Old Han, still chuckling, looked at Li Ni, "It’s going to cost more."

"More money?" Li Ni finally understood, his brow slightly furrowed, "Then, how much more?"

Old Han held out three fingers.

"Thirty percent more?" Li Ni was taken aback.

Old Han laughed, "Brother, what are you joking about? Seeing how much you like our one-of-a-kind mud, naturally, its value must also be cherished."

"I meant, triple the price!"

This statement made Li Ni jump in shock.

This is "insatiable greed!"
