Chapter 1380
It was now evening.
At Gladwell Villa, Jonford, an extended version of a white luxury helicopter slowly came to rest on a mountaintop tarmac.
The helicopter was worth billions of dollars. It had a large exterior that could hold up to 12 people and was also bullet-proof and able to jam GPS signals. Such features gave it the nickname of being the safest helicopter in the world.
Northway Real Estate's higher-ups were already standing by the tarmac, and there were also several tour buses parked nearby.
Rosella Blanco, who was wearing a white-colored dress and a pair of sunglasses, jumped out from the helicopter.
The higher-ups from Northway Real Estate immediately yelled in unison, "Welcome, Ms. Blanco!"
Rosella nodded in acknowledgment before walking toward the tour buses, flanked by her bodyguards.
After touring Gladwell Villa, Rosella arrived at the sales department's conference room.
From her seat at the head of the table, Rosella flipped through Gladwell Villa's launch plan as she said calmly, "This timeline will take too long. Launch it tomorrow, and also send out some invitations. "Everyone who receives an invitation will be eligible to purchase a mansion in Gladwell at a 50% discount!"
A deafening silence immediately settled over the conference room.
Northway Real Estate's higher-ups all gave her incredulous looks.
50% discount?
What sort of sick joke was that?
Did the company not need to make any profit?
How was this different from doing charity?
Gladwell had taken two and a half years to fully construct, and the stakeholders were all hoping to earn some money back after the villas were sold!
Elrog Blanco, the CEO of Northway Real Estate, chuckled dryly. "Rosella, you must be joking, right?"
He was Yelzog's cousin, which made Rosella his niece. He was the only person in the whole of Northway Real Estate who dared address Rosella by her name.
Rosella glanced at Elrog before saying coolly, "Uncle, did you think I came all the way here to crack jokes?"
An ugly look appeared on Elrog's face, and he smiled a forced smile as he said, "Is this... what Yelzog wants?"
If this was what Yelzog wanted, he would not dare go against his wishes. He would have to do as the man wished, even if it meant going bankrupt.
Rosella shook her head. "It's what I want!"
Elrog heaved a sigh of relief and grinned, "Rosella, I'd be delighted if you fancied any one of the villas here. In fact, I can even give you several of them! But I won't be pleased if they're sold at a 50% discount!" They could get a 40% profit off of each villa sold in Gladwell.
If the villas were sold at half price, they would not even be able to break even.
Rosella frowned. "Just do as I say. I'll pay for whatever losses are incurred!"
"Rosella, there are 120 villas in
Gladwell, and we invested over 50 billion dollars into this project... It's estimated that our net earnings will be around 13 billion dollars. Are you really going to fork out 80 billion dollars?" Elrog asked in a low voice.
"Do you think I can't do it?" A displeased look appeared on Rosella's face.
"No, no. I just don't understand why you want to do this!"
Elrog lit a cigarette and took a drag from it.
Rosella said coolly, "I don't need you to understand anything!"
A half smile appeared on Elrog's face. "Are you planning on gifting these mansions to your friends but trying to keep it lowkey?"
Rosella remained silent.
Elrog knew he had hit the nail on the head and chuckled. "Your friends used to stay in Royal Bay, right?"
The incident at Royal Bay had just
occurred yesterday, and Rosella had immediately traveled to Gladwell today. Not only that, but she was also requesting the villas be put up for sale the next day. It was obvious she did not want to see her friends homeless.
Rosella glanced at Elrog. "Why do you have so many questions? Isn't it enough that I won't cause you to incur any losses?"
80 million dollars was not considered much to her family.
However, it was a huge sum of money for her.
Even her father would wince slightly if he had to withdraw 80 million dollars in one go.
However, for the sake of receiving Nash's understanding, she decided to just do it.
Elrog chuckled ruefully. "I'll help you deal with it. Why are you always so hostile toward me? I'd never make you fork out 80 million dollars."
There was no doubt that Rosella must have talked things over with her family regarding the 80 million dollars. Kelzog was able to procure that much money, but Elrog's time in the Blanco family would come to an end if he actually did ask Rosella to pay up.
