Chapter 306: Chapter 248: I’ll Take Care of Your Matters! _2

"How much money can you give us?" Before Ellie had a chance to speak, Eckram couldn’t help but ask.

He had already figured out that the two experts were probably unable to offer any good terms.

After all, it was just one main hall; it didn’t seem like they would take it too seriously.

But since this Chinese man had offered, there might really be a possibility!

Now the key question was how much money!

Sean Knight didn’t directly answer, but instead asked Alistair Murray a crucial question:

"If the funds I provide can satisfy you, can the ownership of this land be transferred to me?"

"Yes!" Before Ellie could speak, Eckram had already answered.

"No! We can’t transfer this place to someone else!" The expert thought that there would likely be limited funds and resources for the main hall, but now it was clear that the Chinese man was determined to win this place!

So the expert felt obliged to stop it!

Alistair Murray was translating all along.

Upon hearing the expert’s words, Sean Knight extended his hand, smiling:

"You go ahead, tell me your terms. Let’s see if they’ll agree with you. I’m not in a hurry."

After saying that, he stopped talking and took on the demeanor of an observer.

The expert didn’t expect that after simply saying one sentence, he would be put on the spot by Sean Knight.

He looked at Ellie and Eckram’s gaze fixed on him, swallowed his saliva, and said:

"Well... I still need to report to my superiors. I will report your requests to them, and I think they should try their best to fulfill your demands... "

Ellie responded with a weak smile.

Though he remained silent, Eckram didn’t care about the expert’s face and said unhappily:

"Then report it now! We don’t want to hear perfunctory words like ’try our best’!"

He then turned his gaze back to Sean Knight.

But Sean didn’t say anything and instead turned around and walked out of the main hall.

Alistair Murray and Elijah Hastings immediately followed suit.

Outside, Sean looked at the meadow in the mountains and couldn’t help but exclaim:

"This is such a great place!"

Alistair Murray also said:

"It really is! The grass here is truly excellent, and there are pine trees in the mountains. If we can get this piece of land, it would definitely make for a great ranch!"

They could hear the voices of the experts coming from inside, trying to persuade Ellie and Eckram. Alistair Murray laughed and said to Sean:

"The expert is telling them to think of the bigger picture."

Sean just smiled without saying a word.

There were always people who tried to use moral coercion everywhere. Sean was sure that if Eckram directly told the expert, "You don’t need to provide too many resources, just contribute half of your personal property, and we’ll hand over the main hall to the country," the expert would definitely refuse!

Being generous with other people’s resources is the easiest thing to do, but also the easiest way to be hated.

As they walked back while admiring the scenery, Sean was surprised to find old codonopsis, liquorice, and other medicinal plants in the mountain meadow. Looking at the branches of the codonopsis, they were at least several decades old.

Even more impressive were the ones beneath, which were about one and a half meters long and as thick as an arm!

It seemed like this place truly produced good stuff!

Sean sighed as he followed the path down the mountain and returned to the felt tent.

Lincoln Harrington and Douglas Cooper had come out early to greet them. Seeing that Sean and the others were fine, they finally relaxed.

Douglas, who always had a strong curiosity, couldn’t help but ask:

"How did it go? Did you make a deal?"

Elijah Hastings glared at him, and Douglas fell silent.

Sean just smiled and said:

"Let’s wait and see a bit longer. Now is not our time to negotiate."

Being too eager is not a good approach for bargaining. Though Sean had money, he didn’t want to be taken as a fool.

About ten or so minutes later, the two experts, along with Ellie and Eckram, finally came out of the mountains.

Eckram appeared a bit nervous, walking briskly. When he saw that Sean and the others were still there, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Sean wanted to laugh — he knew that Eckram was likely leaning towards negotiating with him.

After all, giving money is the real deal when it comes to bargaining. Just shouting slogans can easily annoy people.

However, the expert took advantage of his identity and said he would report to his superiors after descending the mountain, so Ellie and the others had to ask Sean Knight and his group to wait.

Sean didn’t mind and took the opportunity to let Alistair Murray take him to a nearby pine forest to collect mushrooms.

"This season is the time when morel mushrooms grow in the mountains, and we might find some in this pine forest."

Alistair’s home was also near the frontier, and the two sides had similar geographical environments, so Alistair seemed quite experienced.

Sean was also happy to relax and his group entered the forest and began the search.

After more than an hour, they didn’t find any morel mushrooms, but they did find many other mushrooms and wild vegetables.

When they came out, they found that Ellie and Eckram and the others were anxious.

"What did the experts say?" Sean handed the wild vegetables to Lincoln Harrington and asked with a smile.

Alistair immediately translated.

"They said that if anyone here is willing to move, they will arrange for us to settle in a nearby town."

"And what about compensation?" Sean believed that even if it was symbolic, the other party should give some compensation.

"One hundred thousand Tenge per person..."

Sean had been here long enough to know the exchange rate and understood:

"That is to say, 200 US dollars in compensation per person?"

"Yes." Eckram’s tone was somewhat helpless and angry.

"They plan to turn this place into a tourist attraction, but because it is too far away, they said they would not invest much, and not many people would come, so the compensation would be so little. However, they promised us that if the tourist attraction is built, several people from our tribe could work there... if we don’t want to move, then each person’s compensation will be ten thousand Tenge, which is equal to 20 dollars..."

That’s too little!

Sean shook his head:

"What do you think?"

"We want to hear Mr. Knight’s terms." Eckram looked at Sean, his eyes full of strong expectation, "If what you offer seems acceptable to us, we agree to sell that piece of land to you!"

Sean thought for a moment and said:

"I want to buy the area within one kilometer of the main hall for five hundred thousand dollars for your tribe."

"Really?" Eckram’s eyes lit up!

There are not more than one hundred people in the entire tribe. So on average, each person will receive at least five thousand US dollars in compensation, which is about more than two million Tenge!

The gap is huge!

And Sean only wanted the land within one kilometer of that place, which was only a small fraction of their grassland!

At this price, it was a great deal!

Eckram almost wanted to agree on the spot!

However, he held back and said:

"I need to discuss with my father..."

Then he turned and ran away!

He was afraid that if he stayed a little longer, he would agree directly!

After Alistair finished translating, he couldn’t help but ask Sean:

"Boss, as you can see, the temptation of five hundred thousand dollars for them is huge! Will we be in danger...?"

"Don’t worry." Sean smiled, "Elijah and the others will protect us. Besides, if they want to move out, they won’t do this kind of killing the goose to get the egg thing."

Sean believed in Elijah and their abilities, and he also believed in Eckram and their determination to move out.

As expected, before long, Ellie and Eckram hurriedly came over.

"Is Mr. Knight really offering 500,000 dollars for a square kilometer of grassland?" Ellie looked at Sean and asked seriously.

A square kilometer is equivalent to 1,500 mu of land, which is not a small number.

But now the animal husbandry industry is not very prosperous, or the global economy is not very prosperous.

For tribes engaged in animal husbandry, it belongs to the initial stage, and the prices of cattle and sheep sold from them are actually very cheap.

Moreover, animal husbandry is actually very fragile and cannot be disturbed.

So when Ellie heard Eckram say that Sean was offering five hundred thousand dollars for that piece of land, her heart was immediately moved!

The total assets of the tribe are not even five hundred thousand dollars!
