Doubts in his heart, but the promise was still calm, quietly waiting for Scott to finish all the words.

"Mr. Xu, although Ellison is very rich, he is an alternative figure in the circle of top rich people." Scott laughed and began to explain, "Because of the weird behavior and the lack of words. Of course, the most important thing is its domineering style. There are almost no people in the circle of top rich people who have a good impression of him. Except for Jobs, who had a similar temper. ”

Why did it get to Jobs again? Promise feels that Scott is a little long-winded, can't he just say the point?

"The circle of the top rich also has its own rules. If Mr. Hsu were to compete with Larry Ellison, many would be willing to see him make jokes. Scott explained confidently: "If Ellison wants to kick you out by raising the price, he is slapping Mr. Murdoch in the face." After all, Mr. Murdoch is the chairman of the World News Corporation and a top billionaire. If such a world-famous top rich man sells the island to him because Ellison added money, then his reputation in the top circles will be ruined. ”

Promise leaned back on the couch, his fingers tapping lightly on the armrest, and listened quietly to Scott's story. He found things getting more and more interesting now.

"For any seller, the higher the price, the better. But when it comes to Mr. Murdoch's level, he values his reputation more than anything else. After all, fame is worth more than even those green bills. Scott is now fully in the groove and gushing his thoughts: "It's not really like no other buyer is interested in Lanai." It's just that they don't want to compete with Ellison. After all, Mr. Ellison's reputation in the circle is not very good. ”

"What kind of person is he?" Xu Promise turned his head slightly to look at Cahill, who was silent on the side, and asked with some curiosity.

"Ahh Cahill, who was thinking about his thoughts, was slightly stunned, and then hurriedly responded, "Yes." Mr. Ellison's reputation among the richest people is largely due to his arrogance. In addition to being impolite, he will be revenged, and whoever has offended him must take revenge. ”

"Understood." Promise now has a general understanding of this matter.

Murdoch wanted to sell the island, and Ellison immediately said he wanted to buy it when he heard the news. Other potential buyers are reluctant to offend this super-rich man. After all, Larry Ellison, in addition to his own money, is also the owner of Oracle, the world's largest database software company.

With Ellison alone willing to bid, Murdoch was naturally very dissatisfied with the fact that he could not get too much price and lost face.

Others, whether they are watching the excitement or those who are interested in buying Lanai, are also very unhappy. At this time, if a brave spoiler dares to enter, he will inevitably receive the greatest support.

Lanai is also expected to sell for at least $500 million. People who can afford this money don't necessarily want to buy islands here. And those who want to buy islands here and dare to offend Ellison and have enough money are not there for the time being.

"That is." After a moment of silence, Promise whispered, "If my bid is better than Ellison's, there's a good chance that Murdoch will sell Lanai to me?" ”

"Yes, Mr. Xu." Scott looked at Xu with a sincere face, "Since the price has been quoted and your bid is higher, then Ellison has nothing to say." If Ellison continues to add money in this situation, he is humiliating Mr. Murdoch. After all, Mr. Ellison is not going to add a billion dollars. This is a transfer of toys between rich people, and it is not just about money. ”

"Hmm." The promise quickly made up his mind, "Cahill, you go ahead and finish the finishing work on the acquisition of the company." Complete all legal transfer formalities as soon as possible. ”

After Cahill nodded, Promise turned his gaze to Scott, "I'm interested in Lanai, and I'm willing to offer its owner, Mr. Murdoch, $600 million to acquire its ownership." You do it. ”

"Yes, Mr. Promise." Scott's body trembled slightly, his face became distorted because he wanted to hold back his excitement, and with his burly body and big bald head, the whole person looked very weird.

Scott already seems to see the position of the partner beckoning to him!

After everyone left, Xu Promise sat on the sofa and fell into an inexplicable silence. There are many things that Xu Promise thinks about, and he needs to deal with them one by one.

To buy Lanai, the offer is $600 million. However, there are also various tax infrastructure construction in the local area, and so on. Even if nothing else is done, just moving the lab over is a lot of money.

Although it is said that as long as everything is ready, you can start working on dinosaur development. As soon as the first dinosaur makes the headlines, there will be countless people waving huge checks to buy shares. But before that, a huge amount of start-up capital was promised.

That's at least a few hundred million dollars, not Korean won. How to get such a sum of money has become a huge problem.

Admittedly, the promise was to get a lot of gold and even a lot of paper money. Theoretically, he could have as much as he wanted. But money, including valuables such as gold, has little value in itself. Their value lies in the fact that they are precious exchange currencies when everyone recognizes their value.

And what is promised to be obtained by unconventional means can only be used after it has been washed through a special channel. But money laundering is one thing and the other is indispensable. If the amount is too large and too many times, it will inevitably attract unnecessary attention. Money laundering is an illegal activity, and once exposed, it is not a good thing for the promise.

And most importantly, he needs to be too large. It is too difficult for this illegal money-laundering activity, which amounts to hundreds of millions of dollars, to go unnoticed. And it's in the United States, which has the strictest regulations.

For Xu Nuo, his best income now is that someone has taken the initiative to transfer a large amount of wealth to him through normal and legal procedures. This kind of money is the most comfortable and reasonable to use.

Thinking of this, Xu Promise couldn't help but smile bitterly. Who is sick enough to foolishly transfer hundreds of millions of dollars of wealth to him? Kicked in the head by a donkey? Unless it's something that people can't refuse in exchange.

"Can't refuse?" Promise's eyes flashed, and he raised his hand and gently rubbed his eyebrows.

While worrying about money, Xu Promise is still worried about women's affairs in his heart. Kim Taeyeon, Jessica. The promise was hugged left and right, but they didn't know that there were other women in the promise. Once the matter is revealed, the promise will be really miserable.

Although with the promised ability, he will not be as miserable as Brother Cheng in the world, but it is not impossible for both sides to fall well or even lose them all. Promise can't find a perfect solution even if he thinks about it. In desperation, this matter can only continue to drag on-

"Vacation? Aren't you guys busy? After receiving a call from Kim Tae-yeon, he asked in surprise.

"Hmm." Kim Taeyeon's voice on the other end of the phone was crisp and vague, "The company said that I have been doing well recently, so I was given three days off." ”

Xu Yu is now experienced, so he can naturally hear the faint hope in Kim Taeyeon's words. Xu Promise's heart moved slightly, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, "Then do you have any plans?" ”

"I want to travel." Kim Taeyeon's voice is very soft, and if it weren't for Promise's good hearing, she might not have heard it at all.

"Oh, great choice." A smile appeared at the corner of Promise's mouth, "Is there a place you want to go?" ”

"London." Kim Taeyeon's voice carried a hint of anticipation, "I wanted to go a long time ago." ”

"Hmm." Promise asked softly, "Shall we be together?" ”

There was silence on the other side of the phone, and he promised to wait quietly without worrying. I don't know how long it took, but Kim Taeyeon's voice finally came from the phone, "Hmm." ”

After hanging up the phone, Kim Taeyeon, whose face was flushed, touched her hot cheeks and lay on her back on the bed, rolling back and forth like a child. She wanted to travel with the promise, and the excitement in her heart after receiving the promise was indescribable.

After a while, Kim Tae-yeon, who had calmed down, sat up again, picked up her phone and dialed her parents.

"Mom, I've been very busy with work lately, so I'm not coming home. Well, got it. As soon as he hung up the phone, Kim Tae-yeon's door was pushed open. Kim Tae-yeon, who was weak-hearted, was immediately taken aback.

"Why don't you knock!" After seeing the person clearly, Kim Taeyeon frowned and scolded, "You have nothing to do today?" ”

The person who came was Kim Taeyeon's best friend Tiffany, and I saw her come to Kim Taeyeon's side with an aggrieved expression and pouting, "I heard that the company gave you three days off?" It's really enviable! ”

"Oh." Kim Taeyeon rolled her eyes and reached out to pinch Tiffany's waist, "Haven't you been very free lately?" You don't need a vacation, do you? ”

When they were young, the group is now popular, but there are as many as nine of them. Not everyone can work as much as Kim Taeyeon, Jessica, and Yoona to be too busy. Even because he was too busy, he was able to get a special vacation from the company. In addition to group activities, most people don't have many individual activities that can really make money.

"I know you have a lot of work, so you don't have to laugh at me like this!" Tiffany jumped up like a cat that had been stepped on by its tail, and her smooth face was full of anger, "I'll catch up with you one day!" ”

"Uh-oh." As a best friend, Kim Taeyeon will not be frightened by Tiffany, so she casually copes with two sentences and begins to think about it.

"How are you going to spend your vacation?" After a moment, Tiffany looked at Kim Taeyeon suspiciously.

"Me." The corners of Kim Taeyeon's mouth outlined a meaningful smile: "I want to go home to accompany my parents." (To be continued.) )
