"It's a big business." Paul scratched his temples, "But that sounds like you're taking care of your girlfriend's company?" ”

David smiled: "You can say that, or you can't say that, after all, the commission to come forward was approved by the board of directors." ”

Paul wondered, "Why is your board willing to pay this unjust agency fee?" ”

"Because it's not just us who have a crush on that piece of land, there are a lot of wealthy New York businessmen, and to tell you the truth, compared to those wolves, my Fox Real Estate has no advantage in terms of size or cash reserves."

David didn't say it explicitly, but what he meant was that he might not be able to compete with the other wolves.

"But!" David pointed at Paul, "You have an advantage that we don't have at Fox Properties. ”

Paul was a little confused: "What advantage?" ”

"I'll give you a hint, Beverly's creditor is from Washington."

Paul suddenly said, "Charles. Rockefeller. ”

"yes, it's the old fox." David shook his head disdainfully.

"This guy suffered a big loss eight months ago, and he was almost voted by the board of directors to lose the position of chairman, I can't imagine that he is still the same, doing things so desperately."

Paul also sneered: "Promising to renew the loan first and then repenting it sounds like that guy can do it." ”

"That's why I said you have an advantage that we don't have." David raised an eyebrow at Paul: "You say, Mary and Beverly, do they have a common enemy, a common enemy?" ”

Paul laughed, "yes, it does have a good reason to get Beverly to sell you the hotel, even if it's not that high." ”

"That's right." David touched Paul's glass with his glass, "Besides that, Paul. There's no business that Tibbetts can't do, and my board of directors agrees with that. ”

"Ha, that's a great way to lift me." Paul didn't drag the mud either, "That... In terms of commissions? ”

"The market for a large transaction is 4 pips, and I will give you 7 pips, oh, although it is unlikely, if the transaction price is more than 20% lower than our budget, we have an additional reward."

Paul snorted: "And you said it's not a company to take care of your girlfriend?" ”

"Hear me first!" David changed his words.

"If you don't buy the land for us, you're going to pay a $1 million fine, and if you buy it, but it's seriously over budget, you won't get any commission."

This is to prevent intermediaries from deliberately inflating prices in order to earn more fees.

Paul nodded without hesitation: "This is as it should be." ”

"Well, I like crisp people." David nodded approvingly, "Then we can reach a preliminary agreement?" ”

"Preliminary agreement? Forget it, you also said that Beverley is going to hold a drinking party tomorrow, so you'd better draw up the contract and show it to Maria. ”

Paul was very simply, "I don't think Mary will refuse as long as you don't intend to buy the land for the price of cabbage." ”

David stared at Paul for a while, then smiled: "Let me remind you again, our company has no advantages in terms of scale and assets, buying land is not as good as buying a house, if you fail in your first move, there will be no other person looking for your agent in the future." ”

Paul smiled meaningfully: "Then I have to repeat it, hurry up and take the contract to see, know the budget, we can move." ”

"It's ready." David took out a document from his briefcase, "The budget and the deposit and commission ratio are all in it." ”

"I'm really determined to get it." Paul fiddled with the document with one hand, "Okay, I'll show it to Mary and the counsel when I get back." ”

"Okay." After a pause, David was a little embarrassed, "Next, I have one more thing to tell you. ”

"Say it."

David took a delicate little box out of his pocket and opened it in front of Paul.

Inside, there was a glittering engagement ring the size of a quail egg.

Silent.

Embarrassed.

The atmosphere is a bit pink.

"Well, isn't there some kind of misunderstanding here?"

Paul looked at the engagement ring that David was holding in front of him, and said with panic and trembling.

"Don't look at the fact that I usually hook up with the security guard in our company, in fact, I'm really bad at this, of course, if you insist on trying, it's best to change to a romantic place and kneel down on one knee or something."

David narrowed his eyes.

He couldn't tell if Paul was really misunderstanding or joking.

"I made this engagement ring for Mary."

"Oh~~ I see, it scared me to death." Paul breathed an exaggerated sigh of relief, and then gossiped and asked, "When are you going to propose?" ”

"Three days later, on the top floor of the Garden Hotel, I had already packed the whole audience and invited the most famous violin orchestra in New York to propose to Maria with their accompaniment."

Paul nodded: "Well, the place was well chosen, Maria likes the violin, but, if I were you, I would put Charlie. Ohana was invited to sing live, and it was Maria's favorite male singer. ”

"Ha, I knew it was right to ask you." David asked with a little excitement, "Which song do you sing?" ”

"Of course, it's 'Eternal Heart,' which is Maria's favorite song, and it's the right thing for the occasion."

"Okay, okay." David actually took out a small notebook from his briefcase and recorded it carefully, "What else do you want to add?" ”

"Don't chew mint-flavored gum."

"But... I usually chew it with mint flavor. ”

"That's why I told you not to chew on the mint-flavored ones."

“... Good. ”

Paul said in an encouraging tone, "But you've done a good job, and if someone had told me four years ago that someone could get Mary to be in love for eight months in a row, I would have laughed to the ground." ”

“... Thank you for the compliment, then, since you know Mary so well, will she agree to my proposal? ”

This was the main purpose for David to come to Paul.

Ask about the success rate.

After all, Paul knew Mary better than David.

After a moment's thought, Paul said softly, "To tell you the truth, I think... Twenty-eight open. ”

"That's enough!" David was confident, "I also prepared a mysterious gift for Mary, enough to erase the two percent." ”

"Really?" Paul asked curiously, "What mysterious gift?" ”

"Haha, allow me to sell this, I hope the first person to tell me is Mary."

"Well, that's understandable." Paul made a fist gesture towards David, "Anyway, come on!! ”

"Okay." David stood up excitedly, "Then I'll contact Charlie now. Ohana, we have to arrange a plane to get him from Hollywood, thank you for your advice. ”

He left without saying goodbye, but after taking two steps, he ran back: "By the way, you have to help me keep the secret about the proposal, I want her to never forget the night in three days." ”

“OK。” Paul made a gesture to sew his mouth on, "You have to remember that if the proposal is successful, I also have credit." ”

"Of course, this credit, I will remember it for the rest of my life."

After that, he turned around and left, and his walking posture was a little excited and uncoordinated.

Watching David's conceited back disappear out the door, Paul thought that David might have misunderstood.

Twenty-eight Kai means...

Mary would have refused...

But Paul didn't mind David trying.

If successful, Paul would even consider erecting a monument to David:

David. Fox, a businessman, a philanthropist, the man who got Maria.

Regardless of whether the proposal is successful or not, Paul is still a little excited when he thinks that there is a big business to be done next.

When Maria started the company, she said that she couldn't always be a real estate agent who couldn't be on the table, but she had to keep expanding.

Until one day, like those big players, they buy their own land and build their own houses.

Although I helped others buy land this time, I finally took a step forward.

Speaking of taking a step forward...

Paul closed his eyes again and looked at Dr. Zora in another dimension.

Hey.

Really.

With terminal cancer, he is energetically assembling the automatic virus research and development equipment, and he is usually listening to the Red Queen introduce the research and development progress of the N virus.

Dual-minded.

Worthy of genius.

However, Dr. Zola's next question made Paul a little alarmed.

"The Red Queen, Paul. Tibbetts, how was he able to use this magical extradimensional space? ”
