Chapter 180
“Will you back down?” Lawrence continued to ask.
“Challenge limits, surpass oneself, strive constantly, and uphold integrity!”
“Very good. You can disperse now.” Lawrence nodded in satisfaction.
The students scattered.
Wanda found Phoebe and Christine and whispered a few words to them. Then, she walked straight toward the school gate.
Carlisle went back to the dormitory with Daniel.
Just as they arrived at the dormitory door, Carlisle received a call from Sean.
“Carl, did you call me?”
“Do you have time tonight? Let’s grab a meal together.” Carlisle intended to talk to Sean about
SociableNet.
“I’m busy tonight.” Sean awkwardly chuckled. “I have a date with Lily. We’re going ice skating!”
“What about tomorrow?”
“I’m going mountain climbing with Lily.”
“The day after tomorrow?”
“Um… We’re going to the amusement park.”
“Damn it, go to hell!” Carlisle hung up the phone directly.
He was focused on making money, but what about Sean? He was indulging in love and couldn’t extricate
himself.
Sean was calling again.
Carlisle answered the phone and said indifferently, “Go accompany Lily!”
Sean chuckled. “Carl, don’t be like this. Why do I feel like you’re jealous?”
Carlisle’s mouth twitched a few times. “Jealous of you? Dream on! Don’t you still want to make money?”
“I do! Of course I do!” Sean hurriedly replied.
But he hesitated a bit when he thought about his plans with Lily for the next few days. “But I will be busy these next few days. She just agreed to date me, and I can’t just go back on my word, right?”
Carlisle sighed. “How about this weekend night? Otherwise, we’ll have to wait until next Tuesday.”
Time equaled money. Carlisle didn’t like beating around the bush.
Sean chuckled. “Alright, this weekend night it is!”
Just as Carlisle hung up Sean’s call, Sunny called.
“Boss, we’ve got a major deal! Evermore Properties wants to buy our properties for nine thousand per square foot! For the ice skating rink and karaoke, they’re offering up to 46 million!”
Sunny’s voice was trembling with excitement, his facial expression distorted.
“Evermore Properties is Yuriel’s company, right?”
“Yeah, that’s right!”
“For the residential properties, counter them for 950 per square foot, and the ice skating rink and karaoke.
for 50 million.”
Carlisle didn’t have much fondness for Yuriel and Austin, but he couldn’t deny their wealth. So, he thought
the more he could profit from them, the better.
It wasn’t taking advantage of them; the future development of Riverwatch District into an economic zone would surely lead to a significant increase in consumer spending.
By capturing the market in Riverwatch District, they would quickly recoup their investment.
The prospects would be unimaginable if they turned the ice skating rink into a large shopping mall. The karaoke, currently a two–story bungalow, could also be transformed into a 20–story commercial building.
It wasn’t the ice skating rink and karaoke that were valuable; it was the location and the commercial
prospects.
“50 million? Isn’t that too high?” Sunny asked incredulously.
After an afternoon of negotiations, 46 million was already Evermore Properties‘ limit. Those residential properties‘ prices had already exceeded all the property prices in Riverwatch District.
Wouldn’t he offend the wealthiest man in town if Carlisle insisted on such a high price?
Carlisle said calmly, “This is the second time, I don’t want there to be a third.”
Sunny was initially stunned,
then quickly said, “Boss, I… I understand!”
After ending the call, Sunny couldn’t help but slap himself. Why couldn’t he control his mouth? Carlisle had his reasons for the decision. Why did he dare to question it?
On the other side, Lethan called Carlisle just as he hung up. “Carlisle, do you have any other properties in Riverwatch District?”
