Chapter 107
At the café, Liam and I sat across from each other. We were both still feeling the effects of last night’s drinking session, and neither of us was in great spirits.
After sipping half a cup of coffee, I finally felt a bit more awake. I thought for a moment before speaking up, “Liam, let’s talk business.
Liam, who had been busy texting on his phone, looked up at me in surprise. “Business? Between us?”
I nodded. “Yes.”
He adjusted his posture, putting down his phone. “What kind of business?”
As I looked into his eyes, I took out my phone and typed a few words.
In my previous life, I knew that at the end of this year, a piece of land in Yardville would skyrocket in value due to foreign companies setting up factories there. But right now, no one had shown interest in it after the government had been trying to sell it for a while. I had been thinking about what I could do, what I was suited for, and how I could quickly accumulate wealth and connections.
I didn’t have much money, and I lacked influential connections. After considering all my options, I realized the only way I could get ahead was by taking advantage of the information gap and making a speculative investment.
And Liam, the scion of the Tyler family, was the perfect partner for this. Over the past few weeks of interacting with him, the initial resentment I had toward him faded. I realized he was someone I could work with-and maybe even considered a friend. Most importantly, I had discovered his weaknesses. I no longer feared he could hurt me. If I had misjudged him again, at least this time, I wouldn’t be defenseless.
“You’re serious?” Liam’s eyes widened in disbelief when I told him about the piece of land that no one wanted.
The Tyler family was powerful and wealthy in Napel. They had participated in two previous auctions for that land, but because the location and planning were poor, they didn’t make a move.
I nodded. “Yes.”
I handed him a check. “Here’s 20 million. That should be enough to secure the land. You don’t need to invest anything. All I need is for you to use your identity to register a company and purchase the land as the legal representative. I’ll even pay you a salary.” Seeing how confident I was, Liam gritted his teeth. “Alright, since you listened to me ramble the other day, I’ll invest one million to take a stake.”
“We’ll split it 50-50.”
“Deal.”
