Rising from the age of thirty

"Isn't it too much?" Liu Yan asked worriedly.

"Not much at all." Lu Le shook his head and said, "If the price is too low, it will easily arouse the other party's suspicion."

"But..." Liu Yan frowned, "200 billion US dollars, isn't this price too high?"

Lu Le took a deep breath and said slowly: "This is a decision I made after careful consideration. First, Assad has personally inspected the oil field and has a certain understanding of its value. Second, he took the initiative to propose the purchase, which shows that he has a strong interest in this oil field. Taking all factors into consideration, $200 billion is not excessive."

Liu Yan still didn't quite understand, so she couldn't help asking, "But will Assad really accept such a high price? Isn't he afraid of losing all his money?"

Lu Le smiled and explained, "Assad is a smart businessman and he won't make a decision easily. But since he has expressed his willingness to buy, it means he has enough confidence and certainty in the deal. For us, this price can ensure that we get the greatest benefits."

Liu Yan nodded thoughtfully, but still had some doubts in her heart.

After all, $200 billion is not a small sum, and if the deal fails, the consequences will be disastrous.

However, Lu Le seemed to be full of confidence in this, and even Liu Yan couldn't see anything.

The next day.

The sun is shining and the breeze is blowing, making people feel particularly comfortable.

After a night of thinking and weighing, Assad finally made up his mind to discuss the next transaction with Lu Le.

This meeting is crucial for both parties because it involves huge wealth and profit distribution.

In order to ensure the smooth progress of the negotiations, Assad deliberately brought a more professional team.

These people are elites in the industry and have rich experience and expertise.

They will assist Assad in developing strategies, analyzing data, and providing strong support.

As for Lu Le, he and Liu Yan still went to the negotiation site together. Both of them were in high spirits and full of confidence.

In the meeting room, the atmosphere seemed a little tense.

Lu Le was the first to break the silence and said to Assad with a smile: "Mr. Assad, we finally meet again. I hope there will be a satisfactory result today."

Assad nodded slightly to show his agreement. He took a deep breath and said slowly, "I have thought about it carefully, Mr. Lu Le. Regarding the price of the oil field in Kawa Town, what do you think is a reasonable price?"

His eyes were fixed on Lu Le, trying to catch a clue from the other's expression.

However, Lu Le remained calm and composed and did not reveal any information.

"Mr. Assad, you should be aware of the value of this oil field. If you really want to buy it, you must offer a reasonable price." Lu Le replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.

He knew that although Assad was rich, he would never make an offer easily, and he would not easily reveal the low price.

Therefore, he needs to use clever negotiation skills to get better terms.

Assad smiled slightly, as if he had already expected Lu Le to answer like this.

He tapped the table lightly, thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Lu Le, you know that the market changes every day. I need time to evaluate the risks and profits. So, please tell me your bottom line price."

Lu Le cursed inwardly in his heart, this cunning guy actually wanted him to show his cards first.

But Lu Le was not shaken by Assad's words, but responded firmly: "Mr. Assad, I believe you have enough ability and wisdom to make the right judgment. As for the bottom line price, I can't disclose it now. However, I can tell you that if you really want to buy it, the price can be negotiated."

Lui Lok's words expressed his sincerity without revealing his bottom line.

Assad could not help but look at Lu Le with new eyes, thinking that this man was indeed extraordinary. The negotiations were thus deadlocked, with neither side willing to give in easily.

Assad cast his eyes on Liu Yan: "Liu, how about..."

Liu Yan interrupted and shook her head: "I'm sorry, I don't get involved in your men's affairs."

As time went by, the atmosphere became more and more tense. At this moment, Lu Le suddenly put forward a new suggestion.

"Mr. Assad, why don't we look at this issue from a different angle? You see, this oil field is so large that there may be a possibility of long-term cooperation between us. If you are willing to offer a reasonable price, you can not only gain immediate benefits, but also establish a good business relationship. In this way, we can also jointly develop more business in the future and achieve a win-win situation."

Lu Le's words made Assad fall into deep thought.

He had to admit that what Lu Le said made sense.

If you only focus on the current price, you may lose long-term development opportunities.

Moreover, if Lu Le had a copy, it would prove that there must be more than 2 million barrels of oil underground.

It means that Lui Le will not give up.

Want a piece of the pie!

Is that what you mean?

Liu Yan beside him was shocked. This was different from what he had discussed with Lu Le before.
Why did Lui Lok suddenly change?

Or did he deceive her again?
.........

Next, Assad decided to review the deal. He began to discuss various options with his team members, trying to find a balance that would both meet Lu Le's requirements and ensure his own interests.

At the same time, Lu Le and Liu Yan were also closely watching Assad's reaction.

They knew that this was a critical moment and they had to remain vigilant and be ready to respond to any unexpected events.

After a heated discussion, Assad finally made a decision.

He looked at Lu Le again, with a gleam of determination in his eyes.

"We're open to cooperation, but how do you plan to sell it?" Assad looked at Lu Le.

Lui Lok said, "I'll keep 200% and sell the remaining billion to you. What do you think?"

"impossible."

200 billion US dollars is a lot!
The underground oil may be worth something, but don’t forget that the lease contract is only for 50 years, and Lui Lok owns 10%. This price is not acceptable!
Hearing this, Lu Le took a step back: "Then it's 195 billion US dollars. What does Assad mean?"

"Mr. Lu Le, I can accept your offer, but I have one condition. You take 5%, and we need to sign a long-term contract to ensure that future cooperation can proceed smoothly."

Lu Le was delighted in his heart, but he remained calm on the surface.

The shares were added temporarily because he saw Assad's changing state at any time. This person did not believe him, so in order to stabilize Assad, he had to have shares himself.

Liu Yan next to him: “????”

"Of course, Mr. Assad, we are very happy to sign a long-term contract with you so that we can establish a solid partnership and create a bright future together." Lu Le answered without hesitation.
