Chapter 511: Successfully Buying An Island!
With the idea of relying on someone powerful, Kerry did not delay any further and brought Su Yang and Janet to his company.
Even though Su Yang had the [s.p.a.ce Traversing Eyes] to determine if what Kerry had said was real or fake, he was still on high alert because the situation was developing too strangely. ‘I’m worried that Kerry is trying to catch me in a trap… F*ck it. Whatever it is… It’s definitely a trap.’
However, unexpectedly, after staying at the company for half an hour where Kerry had cleaned up his wounds, he started to search for information and make some phone calls. From start to finish, Kerry was working very diligently to resolve Su Yang’s situation and Su Yang was in no danger whatsoever.
Forget that, as Kerry searched for information, he didn’t forget to ask about Su Yang’s ident.i.ty through various means.
‘What kind of ident.i.ty would I have…
‘The master of some little monsters?
‘I can’t tell him that either!
‘However, just because I haven’t got any ident.i.ty, that doesn’t mean I can’t brag about it.’
Hence, Su Yang started to talk using his [Verbal Cannon] ability and indirectly portrayed himself as a descendant of a powerful and mysterious family.
This tactic was indeed effective on Kerry. Perhaps it was because he had watched too many dramas, but Kerry had absolute faith in Su Yang’s words. Furthermore, he acted as if he had just found a huge secret, leaving Su Yang speechless.
‘However, the lower-ranked Americans don’t seem to have a high IQ, so I’m not too surprised.’
Then, after looking through all the information, Kerry found out who was responsible for that project and called the person over.
Perhaps due to the background of the mafia, Kerry’s company didn’t have the same rule as other western companies where they were completely free after working hours.
Hence, with just a phone call from Kerry, the local middleman who brought Su Yang out to sea ran back to where Kerry was.
He was a skinny middle-aged man who was about 1.7 meters tall. Su Yang did not pay much attention to him the last time he saw him, hence That time, Su Yang took a closer look and realized that the man was in his 20s’, had a shaved head but did not look fierce. On the contrary, he looked a little wretched.
He entered the office and looked around, but there was n.o.body to be seen. Only the light in the general manager’s office was on, so he carefully walked over and knocked on the door.
There were actually two types of employees in Kerry’s company. The first were the normal employees. Even though they could tell that there was something wrong with Kerry’s background, they only treated him as their boss.
The other type were the ones who were also affiliated with the mafia. They were only sent to the company because they were valued by Kerry. They knew Kerry better than anyone else and were more fearful of him.
This man knew Kerry very well because they had known each other for a long time. Therefore, when Kerry called him earlier, he knew that Kerry was not in a good mood, so he had worried about whether he had done something wrong…
“Knock! Knock! Knock!”
Followed by the knock on the door, Kerry’s voice came from inside. “Get you *ss in here!”
The moment he heard Kerry’s voice, the middleman knew that he was definitely in trouble.
He could not help but start thinking. ‘Has he found out about the extra USD 300 that I embezzled? That shouldn’t be the case, should it? Or have I gotten reported for not paying when I went to the club? I clearly told the worker that I would return the money when I get paid.
‘What’s going on exactly?’
As he thought about that, he opened the door. However, the moment he opened the door, he saw a kick coming at him.
He wanted to dodge at first, but when he saw the pattern on the sole of the shoe, he immediately recognized it as his boss’s shoe and did not dare dodge. Hence, he could only protect his head to defend himself.
Sure enough, his actions saved him. Kerry only kicked him a few times and sent him to the ground before letting him go. “At least you still f*cking know how to endure it. If you dared to dodge it, I was definitely going to kill you!”
After that, Kerry shook his clothes angrily and said, “Get up.”
The middleman quickly said “Yes” and stood up.
Once he stood up, he realized that there were 2 other people in the room. ‘An Asian and a Western woman, they seem familiar.’
He was stunned at first, but then he remembered the ident.i.ties of those 2 people. ‘It’s the idiot who came to Honolulu to buy Shark Island. That lousy island is so useless that even the seller did not have any hope for itm so he signed an agreement with our company at rock bottom price. Hence, no matter how much the island is sold for, as long as it exceeds USD 600,000, the excess amount will be paid as commission to our company.
‘This is a contract that’s rarely seen in our industry. Usually, the seller doesn’t have much hope of selling their island, hence they would be willing to sign it for the sake of the middleman’s ability.
‘Therefore, in order to sell Shark Island, I purposely hid the fact that there are sharks near the island. Sure enough, this idiot came.
‘Moreover, this spendthrift is indeed rich. He’s actually willing to negotiate at the price of USD 3 million. Even if he removes 1/3 of the original asking price, it’ll still be USD 2 million. Therefore, the company could earn a net profit of USD 1.4 million and I could even get a bonus of several hundred thousand USD.
‘Therefore, this Asian’s face is extremely familiar.
However, as soon as that thought crossed his mind, his heart skipped a beat. ‘Hold on, why are these 2 together with my boss? Is it possible that… They know each other?
‘Have I scammed my boss?’
Seeing that he had reacted, Kerry patted his face and said, “Have you come to your senses? Little Doug?”
Doug forced a smile that looked worse than if he were to cry.
Kerry continued to say, “These 2 here are my friends. They said there might be a problem with the island you were selling them.”
When he heard his boss saying that, Doug knew that he had kicked an iron plate. He apologized profusely with a remorseful face.
After that, Doug told Kerry the whole story without hiding anything. Of course, he only told him the positive parts. For example, his original intention of doing so to generate revenue for the company. It was his first time doing it and he did not know that Su Yang knew his boss.
Seeing how he pitifully explained how he was going to make money for the company, Kerry scratched his head. For a moment, he did not know whether he should continue to deal with Su Yang.
However, Su Yang saw through Kerry’s dilemma and said, “I don’t care about who he was thinking for. All I want is a reasonable solution.”
Upon hearing Su Yang’s words, Kerry slapped his forehead in realization and grinned. “That’s simple.”
Then, he asked, “How much is the starting price of the seller?”
Doug held up six fingers. “USD 600,000.”
Kerry patted Doug on the head and said, “Tomorrow, you’ll have a talk with the seller. Push him down to USD 400,000. Tell him that the customer has only offered to pay USD 500,000, we still need to deduct USD 100,000 as our commission.”
Doug looked like he was about to cry. “That’s probably a bad idea.”
Kerry patted Doug’s bald head with his big hand and said, “What’s so bad about it? He only has that lousy island with no plants and freshwater, plus there’s even sharks nearby. It’s a miracle if someone is even willing to buy it. Hence, you’d have no problems in pressing down his price until thy kingdom comes.”
Doug, who was squatting on the ground, glanced at Su Yang and Janet. He whispered to Kerry, “The seller is from the Coppolas.”
Kerry looked puzzled. “Coppola? Who’s that? Which mafia group are they from?”
Doug kept shaking his head, looking embarra.s.sed. “It’s Coppola from Hollywood, the famous family of directors who made a lot of awesome movies. The one who commissioned me was Sophia Coppola’s a.s.sistant.”
Kerry looked confused, and he slapped Doug’s bald head again. “I don’t care who he is! Your task is to lower the price to USD 400,000. If you can’t get it done, you can pay for remaining amount yourself!”
Doug could only agree with a grimace.
With Boss around, Doug’s working efficiency was very high. The next morning, he sent Su Yang a WeChat voice message saying that everything had been settled.
Su Yang did not hide anything from Xiao Fang and called him over to sign the contract.
At that time, Xiao Fang was about to pack his luggage and make a run for it. When he received Su Yang’s call, he was stunned. He could not understand why a local intermediary with a mafia background would give in to Su Yang’s demands.
When he saw the amount on the contract, he was shocked. ‘This price is so low! USD 400,000! This is only 1/8 of the original price!
‘How did he do it?’
Looking at how Doug, the local middleman, looked at Su Yang so respectfully, Xiao Fang was even more bewildered. He may be an honest person, but he was not a fool.
‘Su Yang must have done something for the other party to have such a drastic change in att.i.tude overnight.’
When he was signing the contract, something even more surprising happened. The boss of the local company was there and he was very polite to Su Yang.
Xiao Fang felt as though his brain capacity was not enough to absorb whatever that was happening in front of him…
Due to Su Yang’s request, the 3 parties signed two contracts. Xiao Fang’s company signed a contract with Kerry’s company, while Su Yang and Xiao Fang’s company signed an island purchase agreement.
Xiao Fang’s company was to help Su Yang resolve the foreign exchange, managing the overseas company and a series of other things.
Because of the relations.h.i.+p between Su Yang and the other 2 parties, the processing fees and intermediary fees for the island were waived. Excluding the tax, he only spent USD 400,000 to purchase the island near the capital of Hawaii which was extremely cheap.
After signing all the contracts, Xiao Fang also called the boss of his company to process the loan and overseas company.
At that point, everything was ready. Once Su Yang was done with the procedures, the owners.h.i.+p of the island would be transferred.
After the owners.h.i.+p of the island had been transferred, Su Yang could complete his Silver Mission and the virtual s.p.a.ce could [Descent] into the real world!
After signing the agreement, Su Yang called Kerry to one side and asked him if he had any connections to legally register an ident.i.ty.
Upon hearing Su Yang’s request, Kerry said reluctantly, “Su, America has strict requirements for household registration and I don’t have any relevant connections. However, I can ask my friends in the mafia.”
After saying that, he asked, “Are you planning to apply for yourself?”
Su Yang shook his head and pointed at Janet. “Give it to her. Her ident.i.ty cannot be exposed, so she needs a fake ident.i.ty.”
Kerry’s eyes lit up. “Oh. Her…”
Kerry instantly became more enthusiastic. “Then I’ll help you ask around over the next few days.”
After settling 2 matters, Su Yang found a secluded corner and left his [Sentry Ward]. Then, he sent Sanque a WeChat voice message.
Su Yang felt that WeChat was really convenient. In the past, he would have to make international calls if he wanted to contact people both domestically and overseas. But now, all he had to do was to make a WeChat voice message. Furthermore, no matter how long the voice message lasted, he only needed a little data to get it done.
Especially now that WIFI was everywhere, it was not an exaggeration to say that it was a free call.
The phone rang for about 10 seconds before it connected. There was no sound on the other end.
Su Yang asked curiously, “Sanque?”
San Que said, “Yes.”
Su Yang said, “Call my name.”
San Que replied, “Alright.”
“Dong.” The call ended.
Su Yang was speechless.
‘Forget it, I’ve never been held at any position by Sanque in the first place.
‘After all, it’s my problem for having to require his help to return to the country.’
Su Yang’s idea was simple. Since it would take time to purchase an island or to settle Janet’s ident.i.ty, he might as well return to Shanghai to wait.
He wanted to add a point for Little Hus coincidentally.
‘Adding points within my own country… Should bring me more luck.’
