Chapter 254
254 Bargaining
This time, Louis was really flustered. He quickly stopped Tommy. “Mr. Tommy, I was talking nonsense just now! Give me another chance. Name a condition. As long as I think it’s suitable, I’ll definitely agree! I don’t want our relationship to worsen because of this little bit of money. As long as Mr. Tommy’s conditions are suitable, I’ll definitely sell my shares. It doesn’t matter if I earn less. Please give me this chance!”
Hearing this, Tommy stopped in his tracks and narrowed his eyes at the other man. He then thought for a moment before extending three fingers. “It’s fine if you want me to buy those shares, but you need to give me three percent more shares at your current asking price.”
This is simply outrageous! Louis was clearly stunned for a moment before his face instantly darkened. For a moment, he didn’t know what to say. “I... I only... You want to take so much as soon as you open your mouth? Aren’t you taking advantage of me?”
“So what? Hasn’t your Harris family always wanted to work with us? Besides, so what if I take advantage of the situation? Did I force you to sell the shares to me?” Tommy sneered and looked at Louis in amusement. “I’m a businessman, and I’ve always prioritized benefits. Since Mr. Louis is here to discuss business with me, I naturally have to maximize my benefits. What’s wrong with that? Besides, with the way the Harris Group is now... Even if you give those shares to us, we have to consider whether to accept them or not, not to mention that you want me to pay for them.”
Louis couldn’t understand why Tommy was so strict with him when he was mostly chatting happily with Wallace.
“Speaking of which, I’m afraid Mr. Tommy doesn’t know that my cousin was in a car accident. He’s in the ICU now. I’m afraid our chances of us working together in the future will increase greatly.” Louis’s eyes darted around, and he immediately made a decision. This matter has to be brought to the table. Otherwise, Tommy won’t realize the seriousness of the matter.
No wonder Sharon is in a bad mood. Although Tommy was shocked, he didn’t show it. Instead, he stared at Louis calmly. “This has nothing to do with you, and the project won’t be in your hands. Besides, nobody is a fool. Some things can be said directly. Since you’ve come to me, you must’ve used all your methods and now have no choice but to beg me. ”
“Everyone knows that the son of the Harris family is born rich and idle. The Harris family is also famous in New York. Now that it’s just a small storm, why don’t you just borrow money from a few big families to tide through it or directly greet the bank president? It’s not a problem for you to have a meal with them, so why come to me?”
As if his deeds had been exposed, Louis’s face flushed red, and he was anxious and angry. Previously, I had heard from Grandma that the Harris Group was destined to collapse and that the bank had left us in the lurch. The other big families in New York are even more interested in watching the show. I hadn’t noticed that I was embroiled in a scandal in the past, and the outside world feels that I’m not capable enough, so nobody likes to make deals with me.
Tommy is my only hope now, not to mention that I’ve just said that Wallace was seriously injured in a car accident. The two of them are clearly tied to the same rope, and Tommy is my last hope. If I can’t grab hold of this opportunity, I can only be unlucky together with the Harris family!
“That’s true, but President Tommy... You really want too much... If you’re willing, I’m thinking... Why don’t you get some more money for me? We’re already very familiar with each other...” Louis wanted to cry, but he didn’t know what to do.
Tommy, on the other hand, resisted the urge to kill Louis. He quickly took a few steps back and said with an ugly expression, “Since Mr. Harris thinks I’m not sincere enough, we’ll find someone else. We can’t rely on the Harris family!”
“Mr. Tommy, on account that we will definitely cooperate in the future, please give in...” Louis’s face turned red and white from Tommy’s words. He gritted his teeth, his heart in turmoil.
Initially, he only wanted to sell a portion of the shares so that he could at least earn tens of millions of dollars. The remaining portion would be in his hands. Even if the Harris Group really closed down and the old madam died, she would still give a portion of those shares to him. But if he had to give out additional shares for no reason, it was equivalent to him losing a few million dollars. This made him a little unwilling!
“Mr. Harris, take your time to consider. If you come to me at this time tomorrow, the price will be unpredictable.”
Tommy didn’t want to waste any more time. Without even looking at Louis, he turned around and left.
