Chapter 1458 Add a Sports Car to Get It Done

"Honey, I need you to talk to Norma." Late at night, in the room where only the two of them were alone, Li Zitao said rather awkwardly.

It's not that he wants to be a good guy and let Mary sing bad faces.

It's just that this matter is not suitable for him, and it will appear more formal and serious, which makes people instinctively resist.

It would be different if Mary spoke, it was more like a conversation between girls and advice from elders.

"Breakfast is over tomorrow, and I'll talk to her." Mary also thought it would be more appropriate to talk by herself.

Thousands of households are celebrating Christmas Eve. Only the business team of the Blue and White Chamber of Commerce working in Hawaii continues to work overtime after simply eating turkey.

They disagreed with the state government on the price. To put it bluntly, the other party saw that Li was rich and asked the lion to eat a piece of fat.

Naturally, the Ministry of Commerce would not do it. It is okay to be generous to others, but every task is linked to their own salary.

No one wants to miss out on the sure and lucrative year-end bonus just because they are being taken for a ride.

The price given by the state government is 5 million dollars, plus miscellaneous expenses, and the investment required for repairs, at least nearly 10 million dollars.

Compared with Li Zitao's big money, this price seems nothing.

But you must know that the area of ​​the Iolani Palace is nothing more than a two-story stone brick house with a front garden purchased by ordinary middle-class Americans.

It’s amazing that there are a few more rooms, not to mention the interior layout, it has been abandoned for so many years, no matter how luxurious it is.

Even if such a house is placed in New York, it will cost four to five hundred thousand at most, depending on the interior decoration and location.

Fortunately, the Hawaii state government thought that it was being taken advantage of, and it turned over ten times in one mouthful. After buying it, repairing it was a big problem.

Unless the brain is sick, who would dare to agree to this price, prepare your resignation letter before you go back!

Negotiations not only require skills, but also the professionalism and mastery of information of both parties. Another key point is patience.

Whoever shows impatience first loses in this negotiation.

The negotiating team of the Blue and White Business Department is not in a hurry, because the boss said before coming, 'this negotiation is considered a half-work half-vacation, and it can be done within a month. '

No one is in a hurry here, the state government wants to collect taxes, the local residents who are waiting for work, and the fishermen and peddlers who look forward to the generosity of Mrs. Li's arrival to stimulate local consumption and tourism.

The public who previously protested against the sale of historical glory and showed an uncooperative attitude have now become staunch supporters.

Money is touching!

In the state government office, Governor Mahathir and his team have discussed this matter several times, and patience is gradually wearing down.

When they learned that Qinghua's negotiating team went to the resort to swim and gamble, as if they didn't care about the business at all, their anxiety seemed to be poured on fire.

"I can't wait any longer, I'm going to talk to Lee in person," Mahata said, putting his hand on the phone.

"Mr. Governor, I think you should wait a little longer." His aide calmly dissuaded him.

In his view, this is the most obvious delay, and now the two sides are competing for patience. Mahatha made this call to show weakness and concession.

"That ruined house has always been a burden,

Not only does it occupy land, but it also needs people to maintain it from being damaged. If you want to repair it, it will cost at least a million dollars.

To us, it is worthless at all. So, in my opinion, it's okay to sell it at a low price, we don't lose anything, do we? "

Mahathir also has his own opinion, it is not worth spending more time on this matter for him, he has too much important work to do.

What's more, even if a part of the price is lowered, what loss will it have for them?

"What if something changes in the future?" asked the aide.

"You know, I don't have that much time to care about the future." Mahata looked at him and smiled wryly; "I'm already a 60-year-old guy."

The chief of staff shrugged embarrassingly: "Sorry, I forgot this."

"So, have we reached a consensus?" Mahata still respected his chief of staff.

The half-bald chief of staff in his forties nodded calmly. Now that he has made a decision and fulfilled his duties, he has done what he should do, and there is nothing else to say.

"Charlie, haha, it's me, Mahatha..." Hearing Mahata's hearty laughter, the chief of staff shook his head and said, "Maybe this is the reason why he couldn't be the one standing in front of the stage." '

"Governor Mahata, what's the matter?" Li Zitao was a little surprised when he received the call from the other party.

He originally thought that the other party could hold on for a while longer, or find someone to intercede, or else start a tug of war with the negotiating team.

But he saved all the process and made the most direct and effective choice that was not good for him. This kind of decisiveness and heart are admirable.

"Charlie, we both know what it is for." Mahata said straightforwardly; "I think your time is more precious than mine. Let's get straight to the point. What price can you accept?"

"You want to know my psychological price, maybe it's hard for you to accept." Li Zitao said with a smile.

"Go ahead, Charlie."

"1.8 million."

"Damn, that's not what a friend should do, Charlie." Sure enough, upon hearing his offer, Mahata immediately acted.

1.8 million US dollars, this price is not high, but it is not low enough to make the state government cut the meat, and the governor wailed.

"The price is very reasonable, Mahata. You know it will cost more later." He was thinking about the money he could receive, but Li Zitao had to think about the total expenses.

"Charlie, even the governor needs to explain to many people. I don't want to make myself infamous before I retire."

"1.8 million US dollars, plus a black Alfa Viper, V8 engine, 420 horsepower, top speed 195, currently only accepts reservations."

There was a brief pause in the voice on the phone, and Mahata said in a deep voice, "Are you bribing me?"

"Don't worry, my friend, this line is encrypted." Li Zitao said with a smile.

"Well then, I think Glenn will like it."

"It's a natural fighter and only a skilled cowboy can handle it."

Li Zitao took advantage of the opportunity to advertise for Alpha Viper.

"Will you come to the island in person? We can go fishing together." Mahata invited him because he had other plans.

He will retire in the next term, and it is also time to take care of his old age.

Only his son made him very worried. If he could have one tenth... no, one percent of Charlie's achievements, he would be able to take his pension to enjoy the holidays with peace of mind.

It's a pity that his son is proficient in everything about playing, but he doesn't know anything else, and he is a complete jerk.

Mahata wants to let him make more friends while he still has some face, maybe someone will find his special talent and make it useful.
