SWNOVELS Chapter 166
Chapter 166.
Liam pulled out a folder from his coat, almost as
the were performing a magic trick. He handed it to me "Take a look"
I glanced at him and opened the folder. It read "Southcliff Shire Development Contract". I froze for a couple of seconds before realizing what it was.
In my previous life, this land had been auctioned off to a foreign company that later developed a luxury villa complex. I remembered that the foreign company had owned 100% of the shares, but now it seemed we'd become a partner in this project. I looked at Liam. "What does this mean? Did you trade the land for development rights with the other company?
Liam snapped his fingers. "Binge. You told me to approach this company early. I had the same thoughts as you and figured we could just sell the land to them at a high price and be done with it.
"But after what the Graysons pulled, I couldn't swallow the grudge even though we secured the land. I was really upset,
"So I changed my approach and negotiated the partnership with the foreign company. We didn't take any money for the land and instead invested ten million dollars to acquire 50% of the shares.
"Southcliff Shire isn't just a villa complex. The surrounding area will include an international private school, a large grocery store, a hospital, and parks. This project is going to create a new high-end commercial district in Yardville."
I knew everything Liam said. The only reason I hadn't wanted to get involved was that I didn't have enough funds. Having lived another life, I knew where the opportunities and pitfalls were
I pursed my lips. "Southcliff Shite's development can't possibly be done with just a ten-million-dollar investment."
Liam paused momentarily. "I low, and that's why I'll seek additional investments, I'll also talk to my dad and see if he can provide us with some funding." He sounded determined, and I knew he had the ability to make this project a success
As I looked at him, my thoughts chumed, and I finally accepted his plan. "Alright. There's no need to look for investors for now. I..."
Liam waited for me to finish, but I suddenly felt a pang of pain as the words came out. I gritted my teeth and took several deep breaths before continuing, "I have ten million dollars. I'll transfer it to you tomorrow."
As soon as I said so, Liam's mouth dropped open in shock. His eyes were full of disbeliet.
After some time, he placed his hands on his chin and closed his mouth. "Where did you get ten million from? You're something else! You act like a penny-pincher, but it turns out you're secretly rich, huh?"
The money had come from my stock investments and using knowledge from my past lite to make quick profits.
I handed the contract back to Liam in the folder, "If I tell you that I've been investing and managing my money for as long as I can remember, will you believe me? Liam scoffed and sat on the couch's armrest. He didn't sit properly and leaned back with his long legs sprawled out on the floor, casually resting his hands on his
He slapped
1 the folder against his thigh, and his actions screamed, "I don't believe you"
"This isn't the first day we've met. Remember how I'd taught you what you should do to squeeze 50 thousand dollars out of Jack?" he asked.
I almost forgot about the time I'd haggled with jack for 50 thousand dollars and raised the price at the last minute.
I'd really been a money-grubber back then. I had no money, so all I could think about was getting as much money as possible. But that didn't mean what I'd just
said wasn't true.
"So what?" I sat on the couch and looked at him with complete confidence. "Who says having money means you can't act poor? Am I supposed to wear a sign on my forehead that says "Hey everyone, come look at me. I'm rich!"?"
I shot him a sideways glance and picked up my water glass to take a sip. "That'd be dumb."
