Chapter 487 The offer: 8 million!
At this moment, only the phrase "It's getting dark" can describe the feelings of all the powerful figures present.
The sunlight outside the window was shining brightly, and the crystal chandeliers in the banquet hall were dazzlingly bright, but everyone's face looked as if it were covered by dark clouds.
Grayish-white, stiff, devoid of any smile.
Who is this Li Luochen?
How can a trainer from the Eastern Empire region have so many relatives?
Dragon Crossing, Michael, Sakaki, Archie, Crimson Pine...
Which one of them isn't a figure who can turn the tide in their respective regions?
Not to mention some names that they didn't hear clearly, but the phone broadcast continued to read them out.
Each name that landed felt like a boulder crashing onto the table, making those who were itching to make a move tremble.
As darkness fell, the last glimmer of light in some people's hearts went out.
"So, I don't think anyone has any objections, right?" Li Luochen continued to ask.
The crowd shook their heads.
The movements were very light and the amplitude was very small.
In the quiet hall, the slowly swaying heads resembled a row of ears of wheat bent by the wind, so orderly that it silenced everyone.
No one spoke up, no one stood up, and no one dared to be the first to take the lead!
But just then, a purple-haired figure stood up from the corner!
Kojiro held the champagne glass that hadn't been touched much, raising it towards Li Luochen in a low but clear voice.
"Brother Luo Chen, I have no objection."
Kojiro didn't mention any name, but who among you doesn't know him?
Is this the young master of the famous Sasaki family in the Kanto region?
A family among the elite, with generations of high-ranking officials and their protégés spread throughout the business and political worlds.
Even he acknowledges Li Luochen as his elder brother, so what else do they have to say?
Some people silently put down the agreement in their hands, some picked up their wine glasses and pretended to drink, some leaned back in their chairs and closed their eyes to rest, and some looked down at the plate of appetizers on the table that had gone cold.
The whispers completely disappeared, replaced by a heavier, more suffocating silence!
It's not that I don't want to fight, it's that I'm afraid to fight!
It's not that we've given up, it's that we've already lost before it even started!
Kojiro finished his drink and sat back down. Musashi nudged him with his elbow and whispered, "When did you become so eloquent?"
"Hehe, it's the art of speaking."
Kojiro wiped his mouth and glanced at Li Luochen.
Musashi followed his gaze, pursed his lips, and said nothing more.
Meow Meow lay on the edge of the table, flicked its tail, and then quietly pocketed the food.
I don't know when I'll eat this much again.
Li Luochen stood beside the seat, his gaze slowly sweeping across everyone's faces. Only after confirming that no one had any further objections did he look at Chao Mi.
"So, Miss Asami, what is your price?"
With no one raising prices or interfering, the success of this deal hinges on the sincerity of both parties.
Chao Mi stood on the stage, her hands clasped together, looking at Li Luochen.
Behind her, Zhouzhu, Xisi, and Yeni all had their eyes fixed on Li Luochen, then darted back and forth between Chaomi, each with a different expression.
"Eight billion is enough to get through the difficulties of fighting the fortress."
After saying that, Chao Mi didn't explain further.
This bottom price represents the greatest sincerity the four sisters can offer.
The four sisters together are worth a total of eight billion.
Li Luochen leaned back in his chair, looked at Chao Mi, and nodded slightly: "No problem."
Eight billion.
Excluding all the working capital that Minrong Dojo can use, plus the support from the Dendrobium family and the Yulong clan behind Gadria, the total is four billion.
So, the remaining four billion shortfall...
Li Luochen looked at Daiwu beside him.
Daigo leaned back in his chair, tapped his fingers lightly on the table twice, smiled slightly, raised his glass to Li Luochen, and drank it all in one gulp.
It means that not much was said; it was all in the wine.
Li Luochen smiled, picked up his juice, and took a sip.
Four billion is just a matter of a good brother's word.
"Mr. Li Luochen, please sign here."
The waiter presented the agreement.
Li Luochen took the pen and signed his name at the bottom, his strokes sharp and forceful.
He took out a check from his pocket and handed it over along with the agreement.
The waiter took it with both hands and stepped back.
With this, the equity transaction of Battle City Fortress has been finalized.
The luncheon has ended.
Even though the fortress earnestly urged them to stay another day, many powerful figures had no intention of lingering.
I've done what I needed to do, and I've offended the people I shouldn't have. Staying any longer will only add to the awkwardness.
Some people got up and left, some shook hands and said goodbye, and some left in a hurry with their entourage without even saying goodbye.
The hall gradually emptied out, and the sounds of talking, footsteps, and clinking glasses and plates mingled together. The banquet hall, which had been bustling for most of the day, finally quieted down.
As Chao Mi stood on the stage, watching the last group of guests leave, the composed smile on her lips finally faded away.
"Luo Chen, I'll be going now."
Daigo glanced at the time and said goodbye to Li Luochen.
The matter has been settled, but Hoenn still faces a meteorite crisis.
Although everyone has been gathered, the problem is still not solved.
Li Luochen nodded, without trying to stop him.
Daigo patted him on the shoulder, turned and left, his figure quickly disappearing outside the door.
"Brother Luo Chen, see you in the Unova region when you have time." N said goodbye, his eyes filled with reluctance.
"Goodbye." Li Luochen nodded with a smile.
He will definitely go to the Unova region.
After all, Wanlong, one of the concubines, is still waiting there, and he will inevitably have to learn some "foreign languages" from her.
"Ah Jin." Li Luochen called out to Ah Jin, who was tiptoeing towards the door.
Ah Jin's shoulders stiffened, and he slowly turned around, a smile plastered on his face: "Hehe, Brother Luo Chen, shall we... shall we see each other again?"
"Um."
Li Luochen glanced at him, said nothing, and simply nodded.
Ah Jin felt as if he had been granted a pardon and slipped out of the hall as if his feet were greased.
Afterwards, Li Luochen said goodbye to the Rockets trio, Xia Ka, Du Ruo, Qing Lü, Xiao Mao, and others.
There was no need for further pleasantries; everything that needed to be said had already been said at the banquet. At this moment, all that was left was to shake hands, nod, or wave from a distance across the crowd.
As Qinglu left, she glanced at him one more time. Xiaomao followed behind Qinglu, and after a few steps, he turned back and waved to him.
Li Luochen stood at the entrance of the hall, watching them disperse.
"Luo Chen, we'll meet again sometime," Zi Yu said with a smile, patting Li Luo Chen on the shoulder.
Her biggest takeaway from this trip to the fortress was meeting Li Luochen.
They also chatted with Li Luochen's wife, Jia Deliya, about the cooperation between Minrong Martial Arts Academy and the company.
Overall, it was a fairly satisfactory outcome.
"Ugh, I'm so tired..."
After seeing off the last group of guests, Li Luochen stretched and turned to close the door.
The dull thud of the door closing echoed briefly in the empty hall before being swallowed by silence.
He turned around and walked towards the banquet hall.
The four sisters are still waiting for him inside.
