"What are you looking at me doing?"

Lu Cheng was a little surprised.

"No, let me tell you, if you have to spend money to buy it, do you think anyone here besides you can spend 50 million US dollars?"

Xiao Chu joked.

"No, you want me to pay for the redemption of the Sky Mending Stone? This is a public matter, okay? It's fine if it can't be used for public property, do you still want me to repay it?"

Lu Cheng said with a shocked look on his face.

"When the sky falls, there are tall men who hold it up. When there is no money, Commander Lu steps up. Isn't this the proverb of our sky shield? I think Lu Cheng, don't shirk it. You are willing to sacrifice yourself for others and be selfless. You can bear this reputation with peace of mind."

Come on! I'll report the situation to Commander Long."

Zhao Tianning said with a smile.

"Tianning, even you..."

Lu Cheng was speechless.

—————————————————————————————————————

South Korea, Busan, in late autumn, the sun is shining brightly, the blue sea water laps at the long coastal beach, and white waves appear.

In the central business district not far from the coast, in a skyscraper covered with glass curtain walls, Lu Cheng was sitting on the sofa, holding a cup of hot tea with a strong Chinese-Earth Jiangnan flavor, squeezing the tea lid from time to time, and raising his head from time to time.

Looking around.

Zhao Tianning and Xiao Chu were sitting across from each other, one holding a fashion magazine and flipping through it boredly, while the other was still wearing his glasses and typing on the keyboard.

"Tianning, how did you choose?"

Lu Cheng asked.

"What to choose?"

Zhao Tianning was confused.

"Choose a girlfriend! I see you have been flipping through this book and your eyes are wide open. What's wrong? Have you fallen in love with the model above?"

Lu Cheng smiled.

"Haha, you guy... But then again, there is a girl who really impressed me deeply..."

With a smile on Zhao Tianning's face, he turned the magazine to a certain page and pushed it in front of Lu Cheng's eyes.

"Zhuge Rui...is from China? Do you like it?"

Lu Cheng looked at the introduction above. This girl named Zhuge Rui is twenty years old. She is a contracted artist under the Busan Star Management Company, a piano master, and a new generation star who is currently popular in South Korea.

"Can you please stop talking about whether you like it or not? I'm just impressed."

Zhao Tianning immediately retorted.

"She is quite beautiful. I would really like to meet her if I have the chance!"

Lu Cheng said subconsciously.

"Ahem..."

Xiao Chu immediately coughed several times.

"What's wrong? Your throat feels uncomfortable?"

Lu Cheng asked.

While several people were talking, the door of the room was pushed open, and a young man wearing a silver suit and black-rimmed glasses walked in, accompanied by a middle-aged secretary.

"Everyone has been waiting for a long time! I am Jiang Honglang, the chairman of this company. I heard that everyone came here specially from China. Thank you for meeting me!"

The young man has a handsome face, and although he still has some childishness, his skillful smile can also make people feel his inner stability and sophistication.

Lu Cheng immediately stood up and stretched out his hand.

"Hello, Mr. Jiang, I am Lu Cheng, the chairman of Zhongtu Xingtian Industrial Group, this is my secretary Zhao Tianning, and this is my follower Xiao Chu."

He shook hands and introduced.

"Follow..."

Xiao Chu almost spit out the tea he just drank.

"Hello, uh, this lady seems to be unwell?"

Jiang Honglang looked at Xiao Chu's expression as if he had eaten a fly and asked with concern.

"It's okay. She's like this. She gets sick occasionally."

Lu Cheng explained.

"Oh, is it a chronic disease? It would be better to cure it radically! I know a very good hospital, and there is a chance..."

Jiang Honglang immediately took over the topic.

"Thank you, no need!"

Xiao Chu took a deep breath, his face returned to calm, and he said solemnly.

After some pleasantries, both parties took their seats.

"Mr. Jiang, your Chinese is so good that even we, who are natives of Tianlin City, are ashamed of yourself."

Lu Cheng complimented.

"No, it's just that my father is Chinese. Although I moved to South Korea with my parents when I was four years old, Chinese is still a common language at home and a required course."

Jiang Honglang explained.

"Oh, is that so? Then your Majesty..."

Lu Cheng asked.

"My parents died in a plane crash five years ago."

Jiang Honglang was a little sentimental.

"I see, I'm sorry!"

Lu Cheng apologized quickly.

"Well, Mr. Lu doesn't have to be like this, but in order not to take up too much time from both of us, let's get down to business now!"

Jiang Honglang suggested.

"Well, before we start, let Mr. Jiang take a look at this."

At Lu Cheng's signal, Zhao Tianning took out a document from his briefcase and handed it to the other party.

Jiang Honglang glanced at it and his expression suddenly changed.

"Heart of the Sea? How did you know I photographed it?"

"There is no airtight wall in the world! Haha."

Lu Cheng immediately smiled.

"So, what are you planning to do now..."

Jiang Honglang tried.

At this time, Xiao Chu stretched out five fingers.

"We are going to spend 50 million US dollars to buy this heart of the sea from you."

When Jiang Honglang heard this, a trace of surprise flashed through his mind, but it quickly subsided.

"Fifty million US dollars, isn't this the price we paid for the Heart of the Sea? If we sold it to you at the original price, wouldn't our work have been in vain?"

The middle-aged secretary behind Jiang Honglang said.

"Mr. Jiang also means this?"

Lu Cheng asked.

"Mr. Lu is also a businessman, so he naturally understands the principles of doing business."

Jiang Honglang hinted.

"So, what is Mr. Jiang's base price?"

Zhao Tianning asked.

Jiang Honglang glanced at his secretary, who immediately spoke.

"One hundred million dollars."

"One hundred million US dollars? This Heart of the Sea has only been in your hands for less than half a month, and its value has doubled?"

Xiao Chu was shocked.

"Well, for 100 million U.S. dollars, there are naturally reasons for the appreciation. It is not convenient for us to disclose it at the moment."

Jiang Honglang explained.

"In that case, can we go back and think about it first, and then continue talking after considering all aspects?"

Lu Cheng thought of something and immediately said.

"Of course, but my time is very tight. If we meet next time, it's best to make an appointment in advance."

Jiang Honglang still maintained a smile and stood up.

—————————————————————————————————————

"The value has doubled in half a month. Why doesn't he grab it? This guy is so shady!"

In the hotel, Lu Mingyun's cheeks bulged with anger after hearing the news.

"One hundred million U.S. dollars! How much does that cost?"

Jiang Yueling fell into deep thought.

"This price reminds me of something."

Mu Chengsi was thoughtful.

"oh?"

Lu Cheng looked at her.

"My sister must have thought about the price of basalt diamonds! At that time, collectors set a sky-high price of hundreds of millions for basalt diamonds."

Jin Song said.

"So, Jiang Honglang has realized that the Heart of the Sea and the Basalt Diamond are on the same level?"

Xiao Chu took the call.

"It doesn't look like he's informed, otherwise why would he negotiate the price with us! As long as we negotiate the price, it means it's not unsellable!"

Zhao Tianning shook his head.

"This guy is not simple. It's a bit difficult to deal with him!"

Lu Cheng sighed.

At this time, everyone turned their attention to Lu Cheng again.

"What's wrong with you? You're looking at me again. Is there anything written on my face?"

Lu Cheng had a bad feeling.

—————————————————————————————————————

A few days later, in the same building and the same living room, Lu Cheng was sitting on the sofa with a sad face.

"Mr. Lu, I haven't seen you for a few days, and you seem to be looking a little bad!"

Jiang Honglang arrived late, with a smile on his face, and his whole temperament looked elegant and easy-going.

"Mr. Jiang, let me get straight to the point! I am willing to pay $100 million to buy the Heart of the Sea from you."

Lu Cheng said directly.

"Oh? This matter! I admire Mr. Lu's courage very much, and I am also very touched by your deep love for the Heart of the Sea. However, it is a pity that you are not the only one who wants to buy the Heart of the Sea.

Oh man!”

Jiang Honglang was sitting on the sofa opposite. The middle-aged secretary immediately opened his briefcase, took out three or four documents, and placed them on the coffee table one by one.

"This is?"

Lu Cheng stretched out his slightly trembling hand, took the document, and looked at it carefully.

"In three days, four buyers from all over the world have sent me inquiry letters. After learning about the price agreed upon between us, some collectors raised the purchase price to US$200 million."

Jiang Honglang explained.

"What? Did you leak the price negotiated between us?"

Lu Cheng was a little unhappy.

"Mr. Lu, this should be normal. There is no confidentiality contract or confidentiality agreement between us."

Jiang Honglang said with a smile.

Lu Cheng couldn't help but sigh after hearing this.

Although I am the chairman of Xingtian Industry, my main focus of work is still on the Sky Shield. All affairs in the company are handled by a professional management team. Now I have to rush to the shelves to negotiate with an extremely cunning businessman.

, simply for free.

However, you can't directly say that you are here on behalf of the Sky Shield. I'm afraid that no matter how much money you give, Jiang Honglang will no longer agree to sell the Heart of the Sea.

"This is actually not incomprehensible, but 200 million US dollars is too expensive..."

Lu Cheng lowered his voice and kept a low profile.

"Mr. Lu, do you think it's expensive? Just before I walked in, I just received a call directly to me. It is said that a wealthy Indian has decided to add another US$50 million."

Jiang Honglang continued to exert pressure.

"this……"

Lu Cheng suddenly felt like he was drowning. He felt that some stray water plants had entangled his feet and were dragging his body down into the abyss.

The person in front of me is increasing prices at such a rate that he will probably go bankrupt before it gets dark.

"Mr. Lu, don't be nervous! In fact, if Mr. Lu wants to buy it, I can give you a preferential price. Just treat it as a friend."

Jiang Honglang suddenly spoke, interrupting Lu Cheng's thoughts.

“Special price?”

Lu Cheng asked.

"Well, but the discounts must be given to each other! We have a condition..."
