The Understated Dragon Lord

Chapter 36 Naive 

“Daniel, you’re being too naive. Do you really think I’ve never seen this kind of tactic before? You don’t need to make empty threats; I won’t fall for them.” 

Daniel didn’t bother to argue and simply asked Nicholas, “So you are giving up the chance to buy this sculpture for fifty million?” 

“Yes, I’m giving up! Since you’re so confident, why would I want to prevent you from doing what you think you can? I want to see how you manage to sell a sculpture worth five million for eighty million to me. If you fail later on, my offer for this sculpture will be only three million.” 

Nicholas turned to Jessica as a reminder, “Jessica, the sculpture is yours, and even though you’ve authorized Daniel to handle it, you’re still the boss and can take back the authority over the sculpture at any time. Even though you don’t lack money, by having Daniel’s words devalue the sculpture from five million to three, that doesn’t seem optimal, does it?” 

He didn’t want any unexpected turn of events! He had had enough of Daniel’s shenanigans! 

Brittany saw this as her opportunity and quickly chimed in, “Jessica, I think Smiley Nick is right; the sculpture is indeed worth only five million, and now that Smiley Nick is willing to buy it for five million, we have no reason to refuse! If Daniel turns that five million into three million for no reason, it’s an unnecessary loss!” 

“Since I’ve entrusted Daniel with handling this sculpture, until he 

declares it finished, I will not intervene. TMO’s principle is to trust its employees and let them demonstrate their competencies! Even if the sculpture is worth only five million and Daniel wants to sell it for fifty million, then he’s trying to obtain more benefits for the group. 

Whether Smiley Nick wants to buy it for five million or not, we could just choose not to sell the sculpture. But I will definitely not complete a sale below the market value for an item worth five million dollars!” 

after all, he was her husband in 

Jessica clearly sided with Daniel name. Even if they were only a pretend married couple, she had no 

reason to distrust Daniel! 

“Since you’ve said so, Jessica, I can’t argue. However, I still need to remind you that the sculpture is indeed worth five million, but that’s my offer here at Auctiq. Anywhere else, nobody will be willing to pay five million for this sculpture. Because out of all auction houses in New York, only I can sell it. If anyone buys this sculpture, they will still bring it here to sell to me. And the offer I provide them will be up to five million at most! 

No one does business without profit, so I advise you not to be 

impulsive and to reconsider it once more. Of course, if you’re not in need of money and are not in a hurry to sell it, then that’s fine. After all, the prices of sculptures like these can fluctuate quite rapidly. Perhaps next year, this sculpture might be worth eight million, or its price might fall to three million! Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

The current price of five million is only because the market has been favorable lately, making it historically high. Whether it will continue to rise, remain stable, or even fall, I cannot guarantee. As a professional, my advice to you is always grounded in expertise. Whether you take my advice or not is your own decision, and as a smart person, you will 

know what to do. I won’t say more than that.”
