I Have 10 Trillion Dollars only Usable For Simping

60%.

The price Vera offered was very clever.

It was 5 percentage points lower than Jiuding Group's bottom line, but much stronger than Cynthia's offer.

It made people wonder if she had previously discovered both parties' bottom lines.

Even if this girl's background is unfathomable, she shouldn't have such great abilities.

If she didn't get the intel in advance, then it only proves that this girl has an incredibly precise understanding and judgment of the situation.

"Jiang, how about it? Am I sincere enough?"

She gave Jiang Chen an alluring smile.

There was indeed sincerity.

At least much more "friendly" than her compatriot.

But Jiang Chen was bound to refuse.

The favorability rating reached 88.

Success was imminent.

And this time, the mission offered a 200% cashback!

Right now, is there anything better than seizing Jiuding Group's opportunity?

He never relied on anyone else.

Let alone the West.

Even if the world's capital isolates, so what?

He alone could back Jiuding!

Jiang Chen suddenly picked up his water glass.

Vera squinted her eyes, then also raised her glass.

The two clinked glasses virtually.

"First, just for what you said earlier, I thank you."

Vera's remarks earlier, at least from an objective angle, affirmed that piece of history.

And many people are still concealing, altering, and distorting that to this day.

Jiang Chen's gaze was calm, "But in business terms, we can't accept your price."

Vera's smile didn't change as she gently swirled her glass, "Is it you who can't accept it, or Jiuding Group who can't?"

"Jiang, why don't you set up a meeting with Miss Cao for me? I want to talk to her face-to-face."

Face-to-face?

Talk about what?

Not surprisingly, the besieged Jiuding Group is very likely to agree and grab onto the lifeline Vera threw out, to climb out of this pit.

But what about him?

Such an excellent chance to make money was rare.

"She has given me full authority."

Jiang Chen used the authority entrusted to him by Miss Cao to resolutely reject Vera's reasonable request.

Vera stared at him, then teased with a smile.

"Jiang, are you afraid I'll take a piece of your cake?"

Jiang Chen's eyebrows couldn't help but furrow.

Was this girl really that smart?

"This isn't the first time we're doing business together. 60%, I don't think anyone else can offer a higher price than me. Jiuding Group has no better choice. If you don't agree, it only means you want to take over Jiuding Group at a low price."

She stared at Jiang Chen, "Does Miss Cao understand your intention?"

Jiang Chen's furrowed brows relaxed.

This girl is truly daring in her imagination.

However, it also indirectly confirms their high regard for his capability.

Indeed.

As she said, this isn't their first transaction together.

"There is a saying among your people from Shenzhou, a rabbit doesn't eat the grass near its burrow. Jiang, isn't your behavior a bit unscrupulous?"

Vera teased, her amber eyes seemed to see through people's hearts.

After not seeing someone for three days, they should be looked at with new eyes.

Or perhaps, his previous view of this girl was too biased.

"Jiuding wants to sell, I'm willing to buy. Fair trade, what's the issue?"

Without denying, Jiang Chen frankly admitted the other's speculation, or rather, it was no longer speculation.

"Then why did you still look for Cynthia? Isn't that unnecessary?"

Vera asked sharply.

Jiang Chen couldn't explain.

He could back Jiuding Group, but he couldn't directly tell Cao Jinse.

Because it wasn't logical.

The motive was there, and strong, but what about the logic?

Jiuding's withdrawal from Dongying wasn't a self-initiated decision, it was forced.

Switching to another person, as long as they're a person of Shenzhou, they'd face the same dilemma.

Knowing it's a fire pit and still jumping in? Are you crazy?

This isn't buying a car, a house, a yacht, or a plane... If he told Cao Jinse the truth, she would certainly harbor serious doubts.

Hence, he had to act.

"It's none of your business."

In fact, until now, everything was proceeding according to his script, but Jiang Chen had yet to find the right entry point.

How to accept this "unexpected windfall" with proper reason.

"Jiang, if you put it that way, then I can only go and have a good chat with Miss Cao."

Jiang Chen looked over.

"What? Are you going to kidnap me?"

Vera's fragrant shoulders shivered, feigning fear.

"Jiang, Jiuding's industries in Dongying, except for Yingdong Electric Power, are indeed high-quality assets. Anyone acquiring them would profit, but it cannot be a person from Shenzhou. Of course, I mean those who have no backbone. If they're willing to bow and scrape to the Dongying people, then it's whatever, but Jiang, would you bow and scrape to Dongying people?"

Jiang Chen remained silent.

"See, you wouldn't. So you bottoming out Jiuding Group is meaningless, you'll just replace them as the stand-in for Jiuding's withdrawal, Jiang, are you really that selfless?"

Vera hit the key point.

Selflessness.

There are no saints in this world.

Everyone is of flesh and blood.

So all actions must meet the standards of ordinary people.

"I have a way that could benefit everyone, well, benefit three parties, do you want to hear it?"

Vera spoke methodically, progressively deepening Jiang Chen's understanding of her,

Jiang Chen said softly, "Tell me."

"Jiuding's assets in Dongying are poison to you, but a cake for us. So, help me, and after I take over, we'll divide the spoils. How about it?"

Divide the spoils.

Now that's being candid.

Jiang Chen's eyes shifted as he looked at Vera's alluring face that belied her age, his mind racing.

Vera was very perceptive, after all, this was a major issue and needed time for consideration, so she resumed her meal.

Under normal circumstances, indeed, Vera's proposal was very tempting.

Jiuding could retreat safely, Vera could acquire high-quality assets at a low cost, and he could receive a handsome reward, making everyone happy.

But.

If he really did that, how would he earn money?

Compared to the return on the "lick-dog gold," this gain was nothing.

"Are you not afraid of retaliation for snatching food from the tiger's mouth?"

Jiang Chen asked.

Vera looked up, momentarily taken aback, then laughed mockingly, "You mean Cynthia? Fair competition, what do I have to fear?"

Jiang Chen increasingly sensed that this girl and her compatriot might not get along.

"Jiang, besides me, who could be a more suitable partner for you?"

Vera said confidently.

Jiang Chen was silent for a moment, "Can you come up with such a large sum of money?"

This question indeed matters.

All of Jiuding's assets in Dongying, when bundled, amount to trillions; it's not a small figure.

Vera squinted like she had been cornered, raised her fair neck, and enunciated clearly.

"If Cynthia can come up with it, so can I!"

Jiang Chen nodded calmly, picking up his knife and fork.

"Let's eat first."
