"Jade Stone?"
Jeffrey Locke looked at him skeptically. After a long time, he said, "No, that's too much. I can only give you five million."
Joe Locke unhappily said, "Dad, that's too little. I want fifteen million. You're just giving me a fraction, not even half."
"Then how much do you want? Fifteen million is impossible," Jeffrey Locke said with a stern face.
Joe Locke hesitated and said, "Well… at least half, right?"
"Then I'll give you seven million."
"How about eight million? Eight million sounds better."
Jeffrey Locke looked at his son's eager expression, sighed, and said, "Fine, eight million! But I warn you, if you lose this eight million, don't ever talk about doing business again. Just stay at home and help out."
"Don't worry, I definitely won't lose it!"
Without saying anything more, Jeffrey Locke took out his checkbook and wrote a check for five million.
