In the evening, the Li father and son discussed the factory with Old Smith.
The discussion lasted until midnight. In the end, both Old Smith and Li Zixuan agreed to buy the bankrupt nail factory.
Hence, the next day, Li Shi called the investment division of the City Bank.
The four of them still hired a box-type carriage and arrived at the factory in the suburbs of San Francisco.
After unlocking the door, Old Smith, who used to be a blacksmith, carefully examined the factory and equipment.
Forging hammers, universal cylindrical grinders, and so on.
While James was dealing with Li Shi, Old Smith nodded at Li Zixuan.
"2,500 dollars. We want this factory!”
After receiving Li Zixuan's notice, Li Shi reported his price to James.
"Oh, no, this price is impossible. Mr. Li, you have to know that the original owner of this factory took a loan of 10,000 US dollars to build the factory. 5,000 US dollars is already the lowest price the bank can offer!”
James obviously felt that Li Shi's price was too ridiculous. He shook his head without thinking.
"But, Mr. James, this place hasn't been sold for a few years!”
Li Shi said with a shrewd smile.
As he spoke, he glanced at the weeds and rusted equipment outside the factory.
James was helpless about this. As a bank intermediary, he naturally knew that this factory had been shelved for several years and had not been sold.
The bank also planned to dispose of the negative assets that were depreciating every day at a cheap price and recover as much money as possible.
However, when James heard that a Chinese was preparing to acquire a factory, he wanted to trick this Chinese.
Anyway, even if the other party knew that the price was too high, what else could a Chinese person do in the Eagle Sauce Nation?
In fact, if the buyer of the factory was a white man, his offer would not be five thousand dollars, but three thousand dollars.
However, he would not admit that he discriminated. He raised three fingers at Li Shi and said,
"At least three thousand dollars!"
"2,500 dollars. If Mr. James doesn't agree, then this deal is off!”
Li Zixuan interjected.
James was stunned when he heard what he said. Then, he looked at Li Shi.
"This is my son, Bruce Lee. His words represent the Li family!"”
He looked at the ten-year-old boy who had just walked over while checking the machine.
A boy in a gray checkered jacket, beige pants, and a newsboy hat looked at her with a faint smile in his pitch-black eyes.
James didn't feel like he was a child. Instead, he could feel the slyness of an adult.
"An illusion?" James found it unbelievable. Then, he asked Li Shi,"
"Your Excellency, are you really going to hand over a transaction worth thousands of dollars to a child?”
"Of course, that's my son!" Li Shi said with some pride.
"Alright then!" James spread his hands and turned his gaze to Li Zixuan, asking,"
"Bruce, right? If you pay 3,000 dollars, I can package the factory for you!”
"2,500 dollars, not a single dollar more. But if you don't agree, we can look for factories elsewhere. Believe me, other banks also have many bankrupt factories that no one wants!”Li Zixuan said with assurance.
After saying that, he pretended to pull Li Shi and leave with Old Smith, who was silent beside him.
Seeing that the three of them were about to reach the door, James suddenly relaxed his shoulders and chased after them.
"Mr. Li, Bruce, I promise to sell the factory to you for 2,500 US dollars!”
However, what he did not expect was that Li Zixuan turned around and asked in confusion,"
"Two thousand five hundred dollars? That was just the price just now. Now I think it's only worth two thousand dollars!”
Hearing this, James looked at Li Zixuan's tender face in shock and said,"
"Are you a demon?"
At this moment, even Li Shi and Old Smith looked at Li Zixuan in surprise.
In the blink of an eye, Li Zixuan's purchase price was reduced by 500 USD. It was no wonder that James, who was in the investment department of Citicorp Bank, was in disbelief.
"Are you selling it or not? I'm afraid it'll only be worth 1,500 in a while!”
Looking at Li Zixuan's fearless expression, James wished he could punch this Chinese kid. Who would lower the price like this?
However, to be honest, Citicorp had long classified this factory as a junk asset.
The base price was 1,000 dollars, so the bank was willing to sell it for 1,500 dollars.
This was also the reason why James was willing to listen to Li Zixuan's price and not leave immediately.
Looking at the other party's hesitant face, Li Zixuan seemed to have the other party in his grasp. He said,""1,500!"
However, before he could finish, James gritted his teeth and said,
"Alright, 2,000 dollars. We'll sell it!”
Soon, the two parties returned to the bank to sign the contract. Li Shi got the ownership of the factory, spending only 2,000 US dollars less than expected.
This made Li Shi and Old Smith look at Li Zixuan in a new light.
In the end, according to the equity plan, the Li family would occupy 80% of the factory shares, and the remaining 20% would belong to the Smith family.
Originally, Old Smith only wanted to help the Smith family with the money they borrowed. However, the Li family had to show some gratitude to the selfless help of others.
20% of the shares was the Li family's gratitude.
Originally, Old Smith did not intend to take it, but Li Zixuan said that he still needed Old Smith to modify the factory's machinery and technical support.
Under Li Shi's persuasion, he accepted this portion of shares.
