Chapter 1341: Chapter 1337: Thirteen Hundred Million
The greed in his eyes flashed by and returned to his earlier expression of a faint, withheld smile, still calm and composed, outwardly unmoved.
In fact, he was already calculating in his heart.
One billion, there was no way he wasn’t tempted.
Even though Qiao Xiaren had become this successful, with annual reports showing a net profit of three to four hundred million, this one billion was practically free money.
He’s a businessman, and what he values most is profit. With money, he always wants more.
Although this wasn’t nearly enough to fulfill his ambitions compared to what he wanted, he still couldn’t help but desire the billion.
First, deceive them of this one billion, make Si Limo experience losing both wealth and people; it seemed like a good plan.
No matter how strong-willed Qiao Xiaren was, as long as she became his woman, he didn’t believe he couldn’t surpass her. Once things were a fait accompli, everything would be set in stone.
With the Qiao Family’s treasured child on his side, people from the Qiao Family would be at a disadvantage. Everything looked so wonderful, Lan Tiansheng couldn’t wait to see this scenario unfold.
“Just one billion to exchange for Qiao San Shao, isn’t that too cheap?” Lan Tiansheng, though secretly pleased, couldn’t show it.
The shrewdest businessman never reveals any satisfaction, even if the offer already greatly exceeds their requirements, they make the other party feel as though they’re losing out, encouraging them to spend more eagerly.
When Si Limo spoke, Qiao Xiaren glanced at him without understanding his thoughts immediately. This one billion felt like a gift to Lan Tiansheng and the Lan Family, leaving her feeling indignant.
But her father’s current state was indeed worrying.
Thinking that this matter involved An Yuqian, Qiao Xiaren felt a rush of anger; this woman, in the name of love, had harmed her and the Qiao Family repeatedly.
A sense of fury suddenly welled up inside her; having her father kidnapped, seeing such a smug face in a superior position really made one want to strangle him. She worried about her father’s current condition, and his physical and mental state was not optimistic.
“Since you think it’s not enough, I’ll add another three hundred million.” Qiao Xiaren spoke from the side, “Does this make our deal possible?”
Lan Tiansheng chuckled from the side, “Xiaren really knows how to do business. Thirteen hundred million for San Shao and your marriage, why do I feel like I’m losing out?”
Qiao Xiaren’s expression did indeed please him.
That this woman ended up in this position, the sense of conquering her felt truly delightful.
“Don’t push too far, I’m willing to make a monetary transaction with you now, but after today, it won’t be a matter that money can solve, so don’t test our patience.” Si Limo glared at him, his face already cold and icy.
Lan Tiansheng knew he was serious and didn’t dare raise the price further: “Since you’re determined to use thirteen hundred million for Qiao San Shao, we can do it, but how can I trust you?”
After all, it was a large sum, and Lan Tiansheng was inherently cautious.
This time, he had gone through great efforts to kidnap Qiao Junzhen over, taking a big gamble, given that both Qiao Xiaren and Si Limo were challenging opponents.
So, no mistakes were allowed.
Qiao Xiaren suddenly smiled, a few shades darker on her face: “You don’t trust us, so why should we trust you?”
“Do you think you have other options?” Lan Tiansheng leaned one hand on the sofa, resembling a smiling fox, “Xiaren, you could actually consider marrying me. Whatever Si Limo has, I almost have too. I will spoil you even more, granting you whatever you wish, hmm?”
