"Five. Five million? Fifty million?" Fade wore an unreadable expression, even his tone was nonchalant.
Loomis, however, looked confident. He said to Fade, "Fifty million, in dollars."
"I hope you find the offer to your satisfaction. Medicine patents in China are rarely worth this price." Loomis said with a smile on his face.
Fade held his chin in his right hand and seemed to be considering what Loomis had said. "Fifty million dollars, that's about three billion yuan. This offer seems like a high price indeed."
Hearing this, Loomis felt even surer about his offer. In his opinion, there was no way that Fade would disagree to so much money.
However, Fade raised his head to look at him with a mocking smile. He said, "The price is not bad indeed, but it's still not worth a mention to me."
Hearing this, the confident smile on Loomis's face disappeared, and his face fell.
He held back his dissatisfaction and said, "I know that you're a wealthy businessman. You hold a high position in Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc, and your net worth is over billions of dollars."
"Even so, fifty million dollars should not a small amount to you. I think it's too much for you to say that it's not even worth a mention. Maritime Ocean Pharma is genuinely interested in purchasing the patent." Loomis was suggesting that Fade should not be playing hard to get in order to raise the offered price.
However, in Fade's opinion, his consideration was completely unnecessary.
Fade had no intention to sell the Ephedra Syrup patents. Anyway, even if he ever wanted to do so, he would definitely not be selling it to Maritime Ocean Pharma.
So, when Fade saw Loomis's reaction, he couldn't help but laugh. He shook his head and said, "Director Chiang, you're making assumptions based on your own judgement. Do you think that others think the same way you do? You, who would do anything for the sake of monetary gain?" "As for the Ephedra Syrup patent, I won't be selling it. Please leave," Fade said outright.
Loomis didn't expect Fade to refuse so decisively. He scowled and said, "Mr. Chen, I'm genuinely here to negotiate with you."
Fade shook his head and said, "I'm also genuinely unwilling to sell. Besides, even if I wanted to sell it, I would definitely not sell it to a company like Maritime Ocean Pharma, who doesn't care about people at all."
"You —" Hearing Fade humiliate his company, Loomis was enraged.
However, Fade did not want to argue with him at all. He stood up and prepared to leave.
Loomis panicked. He knew that Ephedra Syrup was a threat to Alstom Antibiotics, and it was worth a fortune. Therefore, he wanted to buy the Ephedra Syrup patent as soon as possible.
Loomis stood up from his seat and shouted, "Stop, you can't leave!"
Fade turned around. He looked at Loomis and said in a chilly voice, "Why, are you going to force me to sell the patent?"
Loomis's face darkened. He threatened, "President Chen, our company is determined to acquire the patents for the Ephedra Syrup. If you insist not to sell, we don't mind resulting to other means."
Upon hearing this, Fade raised his eyebrows and said, "Are you threatening me?"
Loomis snorted coldly. At the moment, he regained his previous arrogant attitude. "You can think of it as such."
"Fade, I'll tell you the truth. Ephedra Syrup has disrupted the plans which Maritime Ocean Pharma has set into motion within the country.
