12 Grand Trading II
Of course, before he met with the warehouse owner. He needs some preparation to make, such as a bag. "Right, I need to buy some bags," Arc said in his mind. He made a quick detour to a mall to choose a relatively big backpack. He also went and bought some clothes after all he needs to look the part as well. Arc looks into the mirror and thinks, "looking good."
In fact, that wasn't all that he noticed, after calming down and his excitement. He notices that it wasn't just his physical appearance that was improved, his vision or more like his perceptions have changed, he can see clearly, and he can see things previously imperceptible to him. Minor details, like dust and colors, are more detailed and clear. His sense of smell was also improved, not only that he consciously filters the smell he wants and does not want to smell. This excites him more than his physical changes.
He also knows that this was just the beginning, he can faintly feel the vast amount of energy inside him, instinctively he knows that it was the remaining serum that's been stored in his body like what Nine has said.
The new sensation is making him excited, more so than the first time he uses psychotropic drugs. Psychotropic drugs in a way also enhance his senses but in a berserk way unable to control them, but these heightened senses are all under control his control. And he feels like the world is under his grasp, just waiting for him to pluck it. He marveled at the new experience until he gets bored with it. He chuckles
"It's time for some shopping" he mumbled
Arc didn't choose any fancy clothes, and he just wanted a good brand of jogging pants a good windbreaker and a plain white shirt, and also a good brand of running shoes. He looks like a rich kid going for a morning run.
In his mind, He only needs to look like someone with money. No need to exaggerate, fancy clothes will only backfire on him. Plus, the clothes he bought are comfortable.
The meeting is already set, as Eve took care of everything. Their meeting place is a relatively fancy restaurant near the town center.
The travel was for him since it's been some time since he rides a car, he opened the windows to feel the wind hitting his face. He grinned and enjoys the ride to the restaurant.
When he got there, the owner of the warehouse was already there.
He recognized him immediately since Eve showed him his pictures. He approaches him.
Mike Lee has been nervous ever since he received a call from a woman interested in buying his warehouse.
Mike knows how important this deal is to him, as it is life and death for him. So early in the morning, 2 hours before the meeting time, he was already on his way to the meeting place. Angel's restobar is quite a famous place where many rich young men and women hang there during the night, even though he himself has been here a few times before.
It is still early morning, so there are not many patrons in the restaurant.
Mike sits at the table, and he orders a coffee and a small breakfast consisting of bacon and egg and some toasted bread.
He drinks the coffee but has no appetite for eating. He waited until 5 minutes into their agreed meeting time. Mike doesn't see any lady coming into the restaurant. Then he noticed a young man with a backpack on one shoulder coming in his direction.
He checks the young man, as he's wearing a pair of black jogging pants and a jacket he noticed the brand FROST. FROST is a relatively luxurious brand and quite famous for upper-class teenagers.
Arc got in front of Mike's table and greeted him.
"You must be Mike?"
"Eh, and you are?" Mike looked at the man in front of him a little confused.
"Didn't my secretary call you last night?" Arc Said with a friendly smile on his face.
"Oh, I see, I didn't expect you to be so young, please sit down." Mike greeted him when he realized the identity of the man.
"By the way, I'm Arc Grand, and you're Mike Lee, correct?"
Arc extends his hand for a greeting, and Mike nervously shakes it.
"That's right," said Mike, he looks at Arc and Ask. "Can I have you something, Mister Grand?"
"Don't be so formal, Mike, just call me Arc. I'll pass on your first offer. Well then, Mike, I'm not the type to beat around the bush."
Mike swallows his saliva. "Of course," Mike answers
He calls for a waiter to Clean his table.
"So, Mike, you're selling your warehouse on 38th Ave. I won't ask why, since I'm not interested in it. 300k Ugcredit it's not a bad number, but considering the condition of the warehouse it's still on the upper side don't you think Mike?"
"Actually, it's already below the market price, any lower than that, and I'll be losing too much."
"I see" Arc looks at him and says. Then I'm sorry to waste your time, Mr. Lee."
Arc tried to get up and leave.
Mike panicked a little, and he sighs, "please sit down, Mr. Grand. I'm willing to lower the price a little."
Arc smiled and sat down again. He looks at Mike, who is already sweating a little. He laughed in his mind and inside he felt great looking at Mike.
Normally he can only look up to a person like Mike, if not for the system he would still be killing himself working.
"Mike, let me give you an offer I'm willing to pay 320k Ugcredit if you include all your contact and the previous data of all your transactions..."
Mike looked at him and said, "that's not a problem." Mike answers immediately
Those things are useless to him anyway without his Warehouse.
"What are you planning on doing with the warehouse anyway? No need to answer if it's inconvenient." Mike immediately says.
"No, no nothing like that, in truth I don't have a plan just yet. Acquiring your company data is just a whim on my part, it may be useful, or it may not. So do we have a deal, Mike?" Arc said with a relaxed and friendly smile on his face.
"Haha. Of course, we have a deal." Mike answers happily
"Excellent! Should we finalize our deal here?" ask Arc.
"Let's move to a more private area." Mike answers.
Mike calls a waiter and asks to prepare a private room for them.
The waitress bows and asks them to follow her.
They went to the 3rd floor, which consists of private rooms. They chose a room with a view and sat down and asked the waitress to leave for now.
Mike takes out an envelope with documents on it, as well as a tablet with data on it.
In order to purchase land, there are two steps: physical documents and electronic documents. United land Statistics Office is a government agency responsible for all transactions regarding real estate in the United government. It may sound complicated, but actually, the transaction can be completed in a matter of minutes.
Mike passes the documents to Arc. Mike already signed his part, Arc looked at it. At the same time, he was talking to Eve in his mind. He was asking Eve if the documents are in order.
One can never be too careful, after all. When Eve confirms the legitimacy of the documents, he signs his name and other information. When that's done, Arc also inputs his information on the tablet. Actually, all he needs to do is put his SSS number on it.
But it's not done yet. Confirmation from both parties needs to be submitted, and after submitting the documents. Arc passes his bag to Mike.
"320k Ugcredit it's all there, you can count it."
Mike accepted the bag and opened it. He saw bundles of 100 UGC bills separated by a band that says 10000, Arc prepares all this last night.
It took Mike around 20 minutes to count all the bills,
"it's all here, I've verified it," Mike said.
Then he calls the USO. Confirm the transaction and hang up. 2 minutes later, Arc and Mike received verification from USO that the transaction has been finalized and completed.
Mike passed him a USB drive. He said that that is all the transaction history of his company; he also mails him all his clients and contact information. Arc took the USB while smiling at Mike and said,
"Shall we order now? My treat."
Mike smiled and said. "Let's conclude our deal with a toast."
Mike called the waitress and ordered some fine wine, while Arc also ordered some food. Ten minutes later, the food and wine were served. Mike opened the wine and poured it into two wine glasses, then Arc and Mike raised their glass of wine, and made a toast to each other!
Mike offered to pay for the meal, but Arc refused. Mike didn't stay for long after the toast, he makes some small talk and left. Arc remained for a while and ate some food while talking to Eve.
"Boss, all preparation is complete. I'm ready to register a business, please give it a name."
"Grand Trading Corporation," Arc replied immediately
