Chapter 1859: 100 Million US Dollars

Yuan Wanqi really didn't expect Qu Yunzhe to return so quickly.

"Mr. Qu, you've returned so quickly, it seems you've already made a decision."

Qu Yunzhe smiled slightly: "Such a price greatly exceeds our bottom line, so regardless of whether a competitor exists or not, I have to report it to my family."

Yuan Wanqi poured a glass of water for Qu Yunzhe and then sat down: "Ten minutes before you arrived, I received a call from headquarters to suspend negotiations with you."

Qu Yunzhe was originally full of confidence, but hearing Yuan Wanqi's words, his face changed immediately, and he could no longer maintain his calm appearance.

"What's going on?"

"Very simple, because you are Chinese." Yuan Wanqi sighed: "Although I am the general manager of Qiu Dongfang and have earned a lot of money for those capitalists, their trust in me is very limited."

Qu Yunzhe naturally understood, because he was often discriminated against in the United States.

Especially with his stature, the white eyes and ridicule he suffered were already commonplace.

Therefore, this guy was indeed very capable to be able to expand his family's overseas business several times over.

If it were just a normal commercial acquisition, he would definitely get up and leave and would never stay for a second.

But the shares of Wufeng Mining were related to the Qu family's layout for the next few decades.

If he left just like this, not to mention returning to headquarters to take up a post, even what he currently possessed might be taken back.

"Discrimination?" Qu Yunzhe sat down: "That's because the price isn't high enough."

Yuan Wanqi's eyes flashed, and she shook her head: "Mr. Qu, I really don't understand why you insist on spending such a large price to buy Wufeng Mining's shares?"

Qu Yunzhe frowned, the expression on his face very displeased.

Yuan Wanqi hurriedly said: "Don't misunderstand, we are all Chinese. I really don't want to see you spend money in vain and make those British guys cheap."

Qu Yunzhe's face looked a little better. Of course, he wouldn't tell Yuan Wanqi that Wufeng Mining's shares were related to the Qu family's layout for the next few decades.

"Some things, I don't understand either, I'm just executing orders."

"It's useless to say anything." Yuan Wanqi stood up, reached out her hand and said: "Mr. Qu, I hope we have a chance to cooperate in the future."

Qu Yunzhe didn't move, but looked up at Yuan Wanqi: "President Yuan, I am willing to pay 85 million."

Yuan Wanqi's expression stiffened, looking very conflicted.

Qu Yunzhe said sincerely: "I hope you can communicate with headquarters. My price is already very sincere."

Yuan Wanqi was silent for a moment, and finally sighed: "Alright, wait a moment, I will contact headquarters, but you have to be mentally prepared, the hope for this price is not great."

Yuan Wanqi left the reception room, and after returning to the office, she couldn't help but laugh.

She really couldn't understand why Qu Yunzhe, or rather the Qu family, wanted to spend such a large price to buy Wufeng Mining's shares.

85 million US dollars exceeded its own value too much, which was too unreasonable.

Yuan Wanqi picked up the phone and paged Zhou Andong.

After waiting for more than half an hour, Zhou Andong returned the call.

"Boss, I sold Wufeng Mining's shares for 85 million US dollars."

The corners of Yuan Wanqi's mouth curled up, her tone quite proud.

Zhou Andong was very surprised: "Tell me, how did you negotiate it? I have to learn from you."

Yuan Wanqi explained the process: "I saw that he was determined to get Wufeng Mining's shares, so I contacted Alice and found Altona Rare Earth Company to act as a shill to put pressure on the other party.

In my opinion, it would be fine if the other party could offer 80 million, but I never expected that he would suddenly offer 85 million."

Zhou Andong said in a deep voice: "Since he is determined to get it, let's round it up."

Yuan Wanqi's hand holding the phone trembled: "Boss, do you mean you want 100 million?"

"Yes!" Zhou Andong chuckled: "You don't understand the Qu family. During the Republic of China, they were the white gloves of the Four Great Families. The hidden wealth is unimaginable to us. 100 million US dollars is just a drop in the bucket for the Qu family."

Yuan Wanqi said with high spirits: "Then I will ask for 100 million US dollars. If he runs away, don't blame me."

"Rest assured." Zhou Andong said with a smile: "Since he offered 85 million, it proves that Wufeng Mining's shares are very important to the Qu family.

It is very likely related to the Qu family's future layout in the mining industry, so if we ask for another 15 million, he will definitely give it."

"Good!" Yuan Wanqi laughed along: "Boss, the bonus this month cannot be small."

Zhou Andong said very generously: "I will reward you with a car, within 500,000 US dollars, you can choose."

"Really?"

Yuan Wanqi asked while suppressing her excitement. Although she got a bonus of more than 2 million US dollars for shorting sugar last year, who would think money is too little?

"Of course!" Zhou Andong said: "I, this boss, have always been very generous. You have earned so much money for me, how can I be stingy."

"Wait for my good news!" Yuan Wanqi hung up the phone, got up and left the office.

Qu Yunzhe's heart had never been calm. Now for him, how much money he spent was no longer important.

What was important was to get Wufeng Mining's shares in his hands, just after he offered the price of 85 million.

Those damn British guys would definitely raise the price, which made his heart bleed, but he had no way out.

Since he took over the family's overseas business, this negotiation was the most suffocating and helpless one for him.

"Pa pa pa!"

The door of the reception room was knocked, and immediately after, Yuan Wanqi pushed the door and walked in.

Qu Yunzhe wanted to see something on Yuan Wanqi's face, but in the end, he was disappointed.

Yuan Wanqi's face was calm, and he couldn't see anything.

"President Yuan, how did your communication with headquarters go?"

Yuan Wanqi was silent for a moment, which made Qu Yunzhe's heart rise to his throat.

His heart suddenly became a bit panicked. He wasn't afraid of the other party asking for a sky-high price, he was only afraid of the other party not opening their mouth.

"President Yuan, did headquarters still refuse?"

Yuan Wanqi smiled bitterly and shook her head: "No refusal, it's just the price offered by headquarters. To tell you the truth, don't say it's you, even I couldn't accept it when I heard it."

Hearing this, Qu Yunzhe's heart fell into his stomach.

Still the same sentence, he wasn't afraid of the other party asking for a sky-high price, he was only afraid of the other party not opening their mouth.

Qu Yunzhe's expression relaxed; he picked up the water glass in front of him and took a sip, a trace of a smile appearing on his face.

"Let me hear it—what kind of price is it that even someone like President Yuan, who commands the financial markets, cannot accept?"

Yuan Wanqi looked at Qu Yunzhe and held up one finger: "One hundred million US dollars!"
