After the two of them left for half an hour, old man Luff finally recovered from his stunned state.
Looking at the contract in his hand, old man Luff still didn't dare believe it.
The other side of this contract was actually a very famous company from the Kandla Empire, which already surprised old man Luff very much.
What surprised him even more was that the other side had offered a high price of eight hundred thousand gold coins!
It had to be known, according to old man Luff's estimates, the shops, factories, and hardware under his Luff Chamber of Commerce were worth at most two hundred thousand gold coins.
Although the other side had said that this purchase included the Magic Kettle and Magic Stove technology that the Luff Chamber of Commerce obtained from the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, the total price was only five hundred thousand gold coins.
If they sold it for eight hundred thousand gold coins, old man Luff would have earned three hundred thousand gold coins!
Moreover, with eight hundred thousand gold coins in hand, after paying off his debt, old man Luff would still have over seven hundred thousand gold coins left.
With this much money in hand, if he wanted to live a happy life, he could use this money to not do anything. He could have a good meal every day, living the most luxurious life he could imagine. It would be enough to support him for several decades and he wouldn't be able to spend it all even if he died.
If he wanted to continue working hard, with the huge capital of 700,000 gold coins and the experience he already had in this industry, he would definitely be able to obtain a better future.
So no matter what angle he looked at it from, agreeing to the other side's purchase and selling the Luff Chamber of Commerce was a very good choice.
However, after old man Luff carefully thought about it, he felt a bit unsettled.
He wasn't worried that the other side was making a scam because the other side had the Lampari Kingdom's business department and the Kandla Empire's business department's seal on the contract, which meant that this was a contract approved by both countries.
Not to mention that the other side said that as long as old man Luff signed the contract, the other side would immediately pay in cash and wouldn't delay at all.
Seeing the other side take out a large one hundred thousand gold coin banknote from the Chimera Chamber of Commerce, old man Luff didn't doubt their words.
But old man Luff still felt unsettled because his many years of experience told him that pies that fell from the sky weren't tasty most of the time.
But the pies in front of old man Luff were just too tempting, so it was hard for him to reject them.
When old man Luff was struggling in his heart, the door to the store was suddenly pushed open and a chubby figure walked in with a cold wind and laughter.
"Hei, Luff, be happy for me, I just closed a large business deal!"
Old man Luff saw the chubby middle aged man who suddenly came in and asked in a surprised voice, "Doyer, what large business deal did you close?"
Doyer chuckled and moved to Old Man Luff's side. He lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "Let me tell you, this is a big business deal.
I … sold the Ailan Merchant Group! "
"Ah?" Old man Luff's eyes widened in shock.
"Luff ….. You sold sold sold sold sold sold sold!
Oh God, are you crazy? "
"I'm not crazy." Doyer waved his hand with a smile on his face.
Doyer still had a smile on his face, "Do you know how much I sold it for?"
"How much?" Old man Luff knit his brows as he calculated in his heart.
Doyer was his old friend. When he decided to change to the Magic Kettle business, Doyer had advised him not to take this risk.
When old man Luff earned a large amount of money from the Magic Kettle, Doyer's eyes were filled with envy. He also gathered money to obtain the Magic Refrigerator technology from the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, letting the Ailan Chamber of Commerce focus on producing Magic Refrigerators.
Now the Ailan Brand Magic Refrigerator was only second to the Xinfei Brand Magic Refrigerator in Saltan City and the surrounding cities, so Doyer had earned a large amount of money.
With the fame and scale of the Ailan Chamber of Commerce, they were only a bit inferior to the Luff Chamber of Commerce. The Luff Chamber of Commerce was valued at around five hundred thousand gold coins, so if the Ailan Chamber of Commerce sold it, they would sell it for around four hundred thousand gold coins.
"Four hundred thousand gold coins?"
Hearing old man Luff's answer, Doyer gave a laugh and shook his head. He reached out a hand and a finger to old man Luff.
"Let me tell you, it's six hundred thousand gold coins!
I sold it for six hundred thousand gold coins!
Ha, ha, I'm really rich now! "
"Six hundred thousand gold coins?"
Hearing that Doyer's price was two hundred thousand gold coins higher than his estimate, old man Luff's heart skipped a beat as he asked, "Doyer, the people who bought your Ailan Chamber of Commerce, did they come from the Kandla Empire?"
Doyer was stunned, "How did you know?"
Old man Luff immediately confirmed his guess. He took out the purchase agreement and handed it to Doyer.
Doyer took it and looked it over before revealing a surprised look.
"So it's not just our Ailan Chamber of Commerce ….. What do these Candra people want to do?"
Old man Luff shook his head, "I don't know.
This matter is too strange, so I'm very hesitant to agree or not. "
Doyer thought for a bit before throwing the contract back to old man Luff and curling his lips, "Che, what's there to hesitate about?
If you think the price is right, then sell it. If it's not, then don't sell it.
Anyway, your Luff Chamber of Commerce earns several tens of thousands of gold coins a year, so even if you don't sell it, you can still make a good living.
Of course, from what I see, it's better to sell it because you can use that much gold coins to do other things. It might be better than now. "
"I also think the same.
But I feel that this matter is too strange and doesn't seem reliable … … "Old man Luff said with a frown.
"How could it be that strange?"
Doyer waved his hand and said, "Anyway, after I signed the contract, they gave me six hundred thousand gold coins on the spot. They didn't hesitate at all and were very straightforward."
"Is that so?" Old man Luff was even more confused.
With such a large amount of money involved, even if the other side was a large company from the Kandla Empire and had a lot of money, they should be a bit more cautious. It would not be strange for them to delay the entire process for several months or even half a year, so why was it so straightforward this time?
"I say, why do you care so much?" Doyer looked at old man Luff in confusion.
"You just need to care about whether you can get the money or not.
Looking at it now, the other side gave the money very straightforwardly, so what's there to think about?
Luff, I really think that you can sell it.
After getting the money, if you still want to fight, we can go to the Malor Empire and see if there are any opportunities. Wouldn't that be better than staying in this small Saltan City? "
Hearing this, old man Luff's heart skipped a beat.
This was the biggest temptation of this acquisition proposal to him.
He had spent his entire life in the small Lampari Kingdom. Since he was young, he had always looked forward to the Malor Empire and the Kandla Empire. He had always dreamed of living in such a large empire.
Now that there was such a good opportunity in front of him, how could he not be moved?
Moreover, the representatives of the two companies from the Kandla Empire had also said that if old man Luff wanted to invest in magic machines in the Kandla Empire, the companies they represented could help him in many ways.
Moreover, the Kandla Empire was beginning to pay attention to the magic machine industry. If he was willing to go, the Kandla Empire would definitely have the corresponding policies to support him. It could be said that the opportunity was very good.
After thinking for a while, old man Luff's heart began to waver. He tentatively asked Doyer, "Then ….. should I agree to it?"
"Alright."
Doyer patted old man Luff's shoulder and laughed, "It's fine if we sell it. The two of us have this much gold coins, we can do whatever we want in the future. It'll be much better than now."
Old man Luff saw the relaxed smile on Doyer's face and hesitated for a bit before giving a nod.
"Un ….. This is also good … …"
###
While old man Luff was facing the temptation of his companies being bought, Xu Yi was also facing the same temptation.
After the New Years, an envoy from the Kandla Empire came to the Principality of Constantine.
This envoy represented his highness Frank. Other than discussing the Xinfei Magic Race Car that the New Flyer had already decided on before, they also brought a further request from his highness Frank.
"His highness said that just bringing the race in isn't enough.
Because if we hold the race in the Kandla Empire, we have to run back to the Principality of Constantine to order the Magic Race Car. We even have to come here for maintenance, so it really is too troublesome. So his highness hopes that your New Flyer can open a Magic Car factory in the Kandla Empire, so everything can be taken care of. "
Xu Yi looked at the representative of the envoy, who was manager Mancini under his highness Frank who he had met before and smiled without saying a thing.
He had proposed to his highness Frank to cooperate on Magic Cars before, but he had been rejected by his highness Frank. He never thought that in less than a year, his highness Frank's attitude would change. It really made people sigh at the impermanence of the world.
But because his highness Frank had come to the Lampari Kingdom to participate in the Magic Car Race before, Xu Yi could easily accept this change.
Not to mention that he knew that his highness Frank's change in attitude wasn't because of himself, but rather because of the change in attitude of the Kandla Empire, so he wasn't surprised at all.
Seeing that Xu Yi wasn't speaking, manager Mancini was a bit impatient.
However, when he saw Xu Yi last time, he could still put on a condescending face. This time he was here with his highness Frank's orders and he knew that the inside story wasn't simple, so he couldn't be arrogant at all. Rather, he had to show a very sincere attitude.
After forcefully suppressing the dissatisfaction in his heart, manager Mancini forced out a sincere smile that was uglier than crying. He asked Xu Yi, "Chairman Xu, what do you think?"
Xu Yi pretended to think for a bit before saying with a nod, "I feel that this suggestion isn't bad.
But manager Mancini, did his highness say who will be in charge of this joint venture factory? "
Manager Mancini's expression immediately became serious, "Of course it will be his highness."
But then he felt that his attitude was too firm, so he squeezed out a smile and continued, "Of course, his highness won't meddle in the factory's affairs, so most of it will be your New Flyer that will take care of it."
"Oh?" Xu Yi couldn't help giving a laugh of ridicule.
According to manager Mancini's words, this was clearly having the New Flyer work for his highness Frank.
This prince Frank really didn't understand the situation … …
Xu Yi waved his hand, "Please go back and tell his highness that we can cooperate, but the right to lead must belong to our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, otherwise there's no need to talk."
Manager Mancini never thought that Xu Yi's attitude would be this firm. He couldn't help being stunned as his expression quickly became ugly.
