“Nigel, what do you have in mind?” Jennifer asked.
Nigel thought about it and said, “I'll give you a million, and I'll handle the rest of the thing.”
Jennifer's eyes widened in surprise. Is he actually offering me a mere one million to take the bid off my hands? He's indeed greedy I
Jennifer shook her head and refused. “No way. I can hand over the project to you, but I have to be the one handling the raw materials and construction.”
The raw materials included reinforced concrete, rock, and granular sands. On the other hand, the transportation sector would involve dump trucks while the construction section would handle excavation work using the excavators.
The project had to be completed in three months, and there was not a single company in Pollerton that was as fully prepared as Jennifer.
Nigel's eyes grew cold. “What if I disagree?”
Jennifer bit her lip and said, “Then, I'll handle all of it myself.”
Nigel laughed and said, “Oh really? So you think you are independent enough now, don't you? Do you think you can handle this project on your own? The excavators you ordered are still in the production process, and you haven't even started digging the barren mountain yet! What makes you think you are able to handle this project? Besides, I noticed that you only have a few million in your account. You will need at least one hundred million as startup capital, and another two billion to pay for whatever comes at the later stage of the project. Don't forget you won't get any money before you complete the project. Where are you going to get the money if not from the Wilson family?”
Jennifer's face darkened.
Nigel is right. But I still haven't started looking for investors yet, so I want to give this a try.
“I suddenly realize that one million is too much for you. five hundred thousand is my final offer. You will hand over the entire project to me, or the deal is off,” Nigel said as irritation filled his eyes.
He desperately needed the project.
Father is going to retire soon, and the Wilson family is in need of a leader. That person will be me 11 must achieve something great so I can take over the position easily. The land reclamation project will be the project that would solidify my position! Even a fifth of the project is enough for me to take over Father's position!
Jennifer said nothing and continued to shake her head.
