Chapter 716: Chapter 717: If We Can’t Rent It, Let’s Buy It!_1

"Do you guys really like this place?"

Xiao Chen asked while looking at Bai Xue and Ilana.

"Of course, it’s right in the center of the city. Having an office here is a sign of the company’s strength!"

Ilana said.

"Alright, since we can’t rent it, let’s buy it instead!"

Xiao Chen declared.

"Big talker, do you know how much it would cost to buy this office building? At the very least, it would be several hundred million! Do you think you’re the boss of Xiao Corporation or something?"

Ilana said disdainfully.

I actually am!

Xiao Chen thought with a smirk, and then said aloud, "Although I’m not the boss of Xiao Corporation, I’m comrades with your boss. If I ask him to buy it, he will probably do it."

"Tsk tsk tsk, stop boasting, will you? You’re just a private and he’s a general yet you call each other comrades—you really know how to elevate yourself!"

Ilana mocked.

Bai Xue was almost laughing so hard she couldn’t contain it.

"President Bai, you must find this funny too, right? He doesn’t even consider his own status, just stands here bragging."

Ilana sighed and said, "I know you mean well, but let’s not have impractical ideas. Let’s go look elsewhere. Although it might be slightly inferior to this place, as long as it’s in the city center, it’s fine."

"What if I really did get him to spend the money?"

Xiao Chen said with a smile.

"If you could really get him to spend the money, I’d be your maid for a week!"

Ilana declared.

"Forget the maid, so I don’t get accused by my mother-in-law of not respecting my elders. I only have one request—if I get the money, can you stop looking at me with disapproval, making me lose face?"

Xiao Chen said.

"Fine, fine, you call the shots. But who are you calling an elder? Technically, I’m only a few years older than you. From now on, you should just call me sister; it would be more consistent with how Jiang Meng calls me."

Ilana stated.

"Alright, I’m making the call now."

Xiao Chen pretended to make a phone call.

"Hello, is this President Xiao of Xiao Corporation? Yes, it’s Xiao Chen, that private who shares your surname. It seems Chengxu Instrument Group wants to buy an office building. Could you approve a few billion for us?"

"Say less, this office building can be had for a maximum of eighty million."

Ilana reminded.

"Oh, agreed? You want me to handle the money? I’m not sure I can, I’m just a security consultant. You trust me with this?

Alright, alright, I’ll take on this tough job for you then."

Xiao Chen ended the call.

In fact, he hadn’t called anyone at all; it was all an act.

"Done. Bai Xue, you go back to the company and get busy. I’m going to discuss acquiring the office building with Aunt Ilana, no, Sister Ilana."

Xiao Chen glanced at Bai Xue and said, "The company can’t be left unattended."

"Okay!"

Bai Xue nodded her head; it was indeed very busy at the company. It wouldn’t be appropriate if both the CEO and the general manager were tied up here.

After Bai Xue left, Xiao Chen turned to Ilana and said, "Let’s go, it’s time to meet their boss!"

"Ah? Ah!"

Ilana was still in a state of shock at this point.

She really hadn’t expected Xiao Chen to get the money with just one phone call?

"Did you really get the money?"

Ilana was still somewhat in disbelief.

"Rest assured."

Xiao Chen said, "The money is already in my account."

"How much?"

Ilana inquired.

"Not much, I think it’s about five billion. He said we should spend freely, that Chengxu Instrument Group must be properly set up!"

Xiao Chen casually remarked.

Thump!

"Sister Ilana, what happened to you, why are you sitting on the ground?"

"No, no problem!"

Ilana’s face turned bright red. Goodness, half a billion, just to spend like that?

Now that’s what you call a big shot.

"But you’re quite something too. I’ve come to see you in a new light. To actually be associated with the big boss of Xiao Corporation, tsk tsk, oh man, I’m envious."

Ilana said with emotion, "Wait, do you think he’s taken a fancy to your wife? Is he trying to bribe you with money?"

"That’s indeed a possibility!"

Xiao Chen nodded in agreement.

"Really? Aren’t you afraid?"

Ilana asked.

"Afraid of what? My charm is something he can’t compare to."

Xiao Chen laughed.

"Keep boasting!"

Ilana was speechless. "Alright, let’s go in."

They contacted the real estate boss through the office building’s manager.

This boss was eager to sell the office building.

Renting it out was just a reluctant measure; he needed the capital turnover, and selling it was naturally more lucrative.

The property prices in Blue Sea weren’t as expensive as in Tianhai City, but a seven-story office building would still be around seventy million.

The office building they were interested in had seven floors in total, and it was quite nice.

The real estate boss was Yu Maosheng, a middle-aged greasy man.

With a protruding belly and yet dressed neatly, none of these really mattered. The key point was this guy couldn’t stop staring at Ilana after laying eyes on her.

As if he hadn’t seen a foreign woman before.

But it seemed unfair to blame Yu Maosheng, especially since Ilana was dressed quite liberally.

Not only Yu Maosheng, but even Xiao Chen dared not look too much.

In her thirties, Ilana had a figure that could only be described as devilish, and it was that kind of athletic build.

"Are all these four units yours?"

Xiao Chen started the conversation.

"Correct, they’re all mine."

Yu Maosheng said proudly.

These days, the real estate business is lucrative, and real estate bosses are unbearably smug. They really can’t be compared with those in the industrial sector.

"If I want all four units, how much would that be?"

Xiao Chen asked.

In the office, with only three people—Yu Maosheng, Xiao Chen, and Ilana—there was no need for beating around the bush; they got straight to talking money.

Yu Maosheng said with a smile, "Ten billion, and you can take them all! After all, this area is the city center, the most expensive real estate in Blue Sea."

Xiao Chen frowned.

He had calculated that, even if he took all four units together, it would be less than three billion.

Even if it was more expensive, four billion would be the absolute maximum. Now Yu Maosheng had the audacity to ask for ten billion. This guy really had the gall to ask.

"Boss Yu, it seems like you don’t really want to make this deal?"

Xiao Chen stood up and said, "I am interested in your building, but at most four billion, take it or leave it!"

He had money, and he didn’t care about ten billion, but he didn’t like to be treated like a fool and fleeced. Even four billion was an overpriced offer.

Ten billion?

That’s robbery!"

"Don’t rush, there’s room for negotiation on the price."

Yu Maosheng chuckled. "I don’t like negotiating prices with men. If Miss Ilana would join me for a cup of coffee, maybe we could lower the price a bit."

"Negotiate your sister!"

Xiao Chen slapped him across the face. "Look at you, you wimp, trying to take advantage? What a joke!"

Xiao Chen had seen many like him; just by looking at his eyes, he knew this guy was up to no good. He had his ways of buying the office building.

"Ilana, let’s go!"

Xiao Chen said.

"Xiao Chen, how can you hit someone out of the blue? You get out; I’ll handle this,"

Ilana pushed Xiao Chen out the door. "That’s not how you do business. Don’t mess this up; leave it to me."
