Belvedere Group quickly received a reply from Longya Capital.
"Longya Capital's offer is 8 billion!"
Chu Ruoxue was shocked. She didn't expect Longya Capital to be willing to spend 8 billion to buy the land from her.
You know, initially, their group only spent 6 billion yuan to purchase this land.
This change of hands would yield an additional 2 billion yuan in profit, more than covering their current financial shortfall!
"The fact that the other party is willing to spend an extra 2 billion yuan indicates that this piece of land must have significant benefits. Selling it hastily is out of the question!" Chu Ruoxue pondered further.
Chu Ruoxue pondered further.
"Where's the Lin Investment Company? Is there any reply from Lin Beifan?" she inquired.
The secretary replied, "Not yet!"
"Notify Lin's Investment Company about the offer from Longya Capital. I don't believe they can still remain indifferent," Chu Ruoxue commanded.
"Yes, President Chu!" the secretary acknowledged.
On the second day, Chu Ruoxue couldn't help but ask, "Is there a response from Lin's side?"
The secretary replied, "Not yet!"
Chu Ruoxue felt a slight disappointment creeping in.
Secretary: "But..."
Chu Ruoxue raised her head, intrigued.
Secretary: "However, Longya Capital has made another offer, and the bid is 8.5 billion, which is 500 million more!"
Chu Ruoxue was stunned.
She didn't respond at all, yet the other party had raised the bid by 500 million yuan. It seemed they were undervaluing money or the land was truly lucrative.
"Notify Lin about this situation again!" she instructed.
"Yes, President Chu!"
On the following day, Chu Ruoxue inquired again, "Is there any reaction from Lin Beifan?"
The secretary replied, "Not yet! But Longya Capital has made another offer, and the bid is 9 billion!"
Chu Ruoxue's frustration was palpable.
She realized she was being swayed by Longya Capital's aggressive bidding.
Adding 500 million more within a day was a clear signal that they weren't afraid to spend big money.
It left her feeling conflicted.
While it tempted her to sell the land for 9 billion, her rationality cautioned against making a hasty decision.
The fact that they were willing to pay so much indicated that the land held significant value, possibly even more than 9 billion.
If she sold now, she might lose out on a considerable profit.
Chu Ruoxue, feeling a surge of frustration, exclaimed, "Tell Lin about this situation again!"
Secretary: "Yes, President Chu!"
Chu Ruoxue decided to take matters into her own hands. "Wait, I'll call and ask him myself!"
The call was swiftly connected, and Lin Beifan's voice resonated from the phone.
"Mr. Chu, what's the matter, you called me?"
Chu Ruoxue, her tone laced with anger, snapped, "What else can I do? Of course it's about the land in Jiangnan! Now Longya Capital's offer has reached 9 billion, with a premium of over 50%. I am very tempted! I'm waiting for your response! What's your decision? Will you buy it or not? Let me know!"
Lin Beifan's response was nonchalant. "Does it even matter? You never intended to sell it in the first place!"
Chu Ruoxue's eyebrows twitched in irritation. She sensed that he had hit the nail on the head but remained adamant. "Who said I wouldn't sell it? It's just that the price hasn't satisfied me yet, so I'm waiting to hear your opinion!"
"Then let me make it clear now, I'm not interested anymore. You can go with Longya!" Lin Beifan declared firmly.
Chu Ruoxue clenched her fists in frustration, feeling like she had been outplayed by Lin Beifan.
Chu Ruoxue: "..."
"If there's nothing else, I'll hang up!" Lin Beifan's voice came through.
Chu Ruoxue: "Wait, don't hang up yet, I have something else I want to ask you!"
Lin Beifan: "Go ahead."
Chu Ruoxue: "Both you and Longya Capital are interested in that piece of land. Can you tell me its value? I owe you a favor if you do."
Lin Beifan: "Ask Longya Capital. If they're willing to pay, they must know its value."
Chu Ruoxue: "I've asked, but they didn't disclose anything."
Lin Beifan: "Then there's nothing I can do. Goodbye."
The line went dead as Lin Beifan ended the call, leaving Chu Ruoxue feeling even more frustrated.
Chu Ruoxue wanted to dispose of the phone.
"I haven't seen anything good since I met Lin Beifan!" she muttered to herself.
Subsequently, Chu Ruoxue secluded herself in the office, contemplating the pros and cons of the situation.
Shortly after, the secretary entered. "Mr. Chu, Longya Capital has presented another offer, this time for 9.5 billion!"
Chu Ruoxue waved her hand dismissively. "Tell them to cease negotiations. We won't sell this land, regardless of the offer. We must develop it ourselves!"
The secretary was taken aback. "Develop it ourselves? But President Chu, we lack the necessary funds!"
"So, we need a wealthy strategic partner," Chu Ruoxue said with a slight smile. "Lin Beifan from the Lin Investment Group would be an excellent choice."
The secretary was even more astonished. "Mr. Chu, why would you forsake the sincerity of Longya Capital to collaborate with Lin Beifan?"
