A few hours later, Samuel met Toft at home, who was now very languid and lethargic. Before he could speak, he yawned a few times.

"That...... I didn't sleep well last night and was a little sleepy," he explains.

Samuel, who had just returned from Cliff's, was upset and didn't buy it at all, and replied coldly: "Then I suggest you go and sleep first, and then come to me"

Toft, who was very familiar with his friend, immediately noticed that something was wrong, Samuel was not a moody person, but the other party seemed to be in a very bad mood at the moment, and a word dispelled most of his sleepiness. He immediately asked Samuel what was wrong.

"It's nothing...... Cliff decides to die generously for his little lover...... Why the fuck didn't I find out he was such a fool?!"

Samuel then briefly relayed the conversation he had had with Cliff a few hours earlier, and was in a bad mood that he didn't notice it at all, and when he mentioned that Cliff was applying to volunteer, a complicated look flashed across Toft's face.

Samuel, who was in a bad mood, seemed to talk a little too much today, and it took him a long time before he sighed:

"Forget it, if he wants to die, it's not the first time I've encountered this kind of thing."

Over the past few years, he had indeed witnessed countless deaths of his friends in war, some in desperate situations beyond the reach of manpower, and others in the stupidity of himself or colleagues. Samuel is far more open to death than the average person.

Samuel, who felt much better, glanced at Toft and asked:

"Yo, aren't you sleepy now? Tell me, what are you looking for me?"

Toft immediately straightened out:

"Luan Weihua Group invited us to negotiate the acquisition. ”

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Samuel and Toft, who knew that the stakes were high, had been busy all night last night, and now they had come to the appointment.

Luanweihua Group set the venue for the negotiations in a conference room at the Fjord Hotel. This hotel is one of the best hotels in Nuremém, and is the first choice for dignitaries who stand on the top floors of the Guleg business district and even the Carlin business district. But Luan Weihua Group generously took care of everything and covered everything during the meeting.

But Samuel knows that the other party's goodwill may be limited to this, and in the subsequent negotiations, I am afraid that it may be difficult for the Luanweihua Group to be close to the word friendly.

His hunch was correct, and as soon as he walked into the conference room, he was taken aback by the other party's battle. Samuel and Toft's entourage consisted of only a handful of people, and the Luanweihua group had several times the number of attendees, not all of whom were Luanweihua's staff, and Samuel recognized several of the young faces, all of whom had relatives and friends who held high-ranking positions in the Gureg Council or the executive branch.

Lord Finn smiled and explained:

"These are all important shareholders of the group and are very interested in this deal. ”

Oh, shareholder? Is this probably Lord Finn's disgrace to himself?

If this had happened three years ago, Samuel would have laughed at Lord Finn's incompetence on the spot. As the commander of the Guleg Theater Ace Fleet, Samuel would not look at anyone in the colony of Guleg, whether it was an archon, a parliamentarian or a wealthy merchant, who could pose any threat to Samuel, on the contrary, Samuel had the ability to expropriate any property of these people for free through a piece of paper, or even directly conscript them to die on the front line.

But this is not the same as before, he is no longer the commander of the 23rd Fleet, and Carlin is not able to meddle in the internal affairs of the colony for the time being.

But even so, Lord Finn's dismount still made the former Earth Emperor Samuel very angry, but reason prevented him from having a seizure on the spot. He waved his hand:

"Time is precious, so let's get started. ”

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The first half of the meeting was all boring clichés, which naturally had professionals to help Samuel deal with.

This was followed by a series of asset lists by Samuel and others, most of the company's assets had been sold in Karenta, and all of the company's remaining assets were now listed on this list. Samuel and Toft used this checklist when negotiating takeovers with Yuanfan Group.

After getting this list, Luanweihua Group announced a one-hour break so that they could have internal discussions. An hour later, both sides returned to the conference room. Viscount Finn announced the results of the discussion of the Luan Weihua Group in person:

"According to the list given by your company, your company's main assets include, 3 armed personnel carriers of the "Dolphin class", 2 frigates of the "Stiletto" class, and one cruiser of the "Stalker class" ......

"Your company's fixed assets also include: the headquarters building at 74 Anvil Street in Nurenta, and the ...... at Third Avenue in Limestone City"

"We agree with your proposal that after the completion of the acquisition, we will issue a new employment contract to your employees, with specific terms including......"

"To sum up, the purchase price offered by our group is 224 million Imperial Gold Dollars," said Lord Finn, closing the paper in his hand.

Samuel couldn't believe it when he heard this figure, 224 million imperial gold dollars?! This is not even a third of the Yuanfan Group's offer!

It's not a question of a slightly low offer anymore, it's a humiliating offer.

Samuel stared at Lord Finn coldly: "Mr. Lord, this joke is not funny. ”

Lord Finn looked at Samuel with a smile on his lips, "Mr. Samuel, I'm not joking, I'm seriously making an offer to you, and I think it's a fair price. ”

"A fair price, you must already know that the price that Yuanfan Group gave us before was 800 million imperial gold dollars."

"But the Yuanfan Group gave up on the deal, didn't it, which means that 800 million imperial gold dollars is not an acceptable price for the buyer," Lord Finn pointed out proudly.

Yuanfan Group did not complete the transaction at a price of 800 million gold yuan, but this was not because there was anything wrong with the price of 800 million gold yuan, but because Yuanfan Group was threatened by Luanweihua Group, but Samuel could not say this to his face, and even if he said it, the other party would not admit it.

Seeing the expressions of Samuel and his party, Viscount Finn knew that he would not be able to get the other party to accept his offer for a while, but this did not exceed his expectations, he first let the other party's emotions ferment for a while, and when he saw that the heat was almost over, he then said:

"Mr. Samuel, if you are unsure about the price, you may wish to think again. You can also try talking to other buyers, for example...... Tex Group?" Lord Finn smiled politely, "In any case, the sale must be consensual, and we can't force you to make a deal, but the door of the Luanwei Group is always open to you, and you can come back at any time when you figure it out, and this offer will always be valid." ”

Samuel felt that Lord Finn's smile was disgusting to the extreme, and the "friendly" gesture put on by the other party was actually a naked mockery. Yes, the sale of assets is indeed a market-oriented act, and it can only be carried out on a voluntary basis. However, all other players in this market have been expelled by Luanweihua Group through non-commercial means, and the only potential buyer other than Luanweihua Group is Teks Group.

And the Luanweihua Group is also very aware that Samuel has a bad relationship with the emperor of East Karin, Galba, and as Galba's agent, the Tex Group may not let go of this opportunity. Therefore, the offer of Luanweihua Group is probably the best offer Samuel can get.

Lord Finn believed that Samuel knew what to do.

If anyone in the Luanwei Flower Group had served in the 23rd Fleet, it might be a reminder to Lord Finn that he didn't really know Samuel. It's a pity that there are no such people around Lord Finn.

Samuel suddenly smiled:

"I've heard that the recently opened 'Steel of the Past' shipbreaking yard is selling quite a lot, and I'm going to sell them the rest of the company's boats."

"Oh, by the way, there are more and more orphans in Nurem Tower and Limestone, and I plan to donate the company's dilapidated buildings to the government as orphanages."

Lord Finn couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, no matter how high the price of the shipbreaking yard was, it was to dismantle the ship and sell it as scrap metal. The other party did this to show that he didn't care about the money at all, and would rather sell the ship as scrap metal than sell it to the Luanweihua Group.

Just as Lord Finn was stunned, Samuel held out his right hand to him. Lord Finn instinctively stretched out his right hand and shook Samuel's hand politely, and heard the other man say:

"Then thank you Luanweihua Group for your hospitality today, we still have something to do, so let's go first. ”

And then Samuel literally took his entourage and left.

Lord Finn stared blankly at the empty seat across from him, wondering if this could be a negotiating tactic by Samuel?, and the more he pondered, the more he felt that this was it, and then a confident smile returned to his face. As long as Samuel is still interested in a deal, then there is a possibility of returning to the negotiating table again. The reason why he quoted such a low price was that Samuel had no other sellers, so he deliberately lowered the price to give himself room for concessions, as long as Samuel returned to the negotiating table again, he didn't mind making a little concession on the price.

Dismantling the ship and selling scrap iron is probably worth tens of millions of imperial gold dollars, and his own price is hundreds of millions, Samuel and Toft should know what to do to their advantage unless they lose their minds.

Viscount Finn picked up the list of assets issued by Samuel and the others on the table, the ships in the name of the other party company were clearly listed in the table, these armed ships were more precious than ever in this special period, and more importantly, the quality of the crew in the other party's fleet was notoriously high.

On top of that, Lord Finn knew that he was going to get much more than that, and that if Samuel thought about it and accepted his offer, the alliance of the defense contractors who were waiting on the sidelines would fall apart, and their assets would end up in his pocket.

This is an undisguised conspiracy, he eats all the assets in Samuel's name at a price of two or three billion gold dollars, and he can make the next acquisition smooth, and even if Samuel sees through his plan, what can he do? Accept his offer and take two or three hundred million gold dollars, or sell the ship as scrap iron in exchange for tens of millions of gold dollars, how should Samuel choose?

It's a pity that if he knew that Samuel and Toft were the initiators of the Fountain of Youth, and that they had made billions of imperial dollars in this speculative spree, I wonder if he would still be so confident at this moment?
