In fact, according to the rules of the trade, when the exploration team issued an exploration report, it would only state on it which type of mineral they had discovered and the approximate quantity of the mineral.

It would not be evaluated.

Even if the customer asked, they would never give the specific price, just to avoid any subsequent disputes.

However, Captain Wang did not need to have so many concerns with his relative so he directly told him his estimated price.

“We have just explored the rare earth mine next to the gold mine, and the specific volume needs further investigation to be confirmed.”

“But according to the current information, it should be worth at least 500 million or so, and there might be more.”

On the other end of the phone, his uncle’s eyes lit up when he heard that.

It was conservatively estimated that a mine worth more than 1.5 billion. If one really bought it, it would be a profit!

He immediately said, “Since Mr. Lin is in a hurry to make a move, then I have to hurry. I must not let others get ahead of me.”

“How about this? I’ll cancel the arrangements for tomorrow morning. Help me arrange to meet Mr. Lin as soon as possible. The sooner, the better!”

Captain Wang relayed his uncle’s words but he did not forget to emphasize something.

“My second uncle’s intention to purchase is very strong!Moreover, he’s a very reliable person. It definitely won’t be wrong for you to transfer it to him.”

Lin Bai knew that Captain Wang would definitely put in a good word for his relatives.

After all, he could not find any other buyers. As long as captain Wang’s second uncle was not too bad, this matter was basically settled.

After some discussion, Lin Bai set the meeting time at eight o’clock the next morning. The location was set to be the office of Captain Wang’s exploration team.

This was because Lin Bai felt that choosing the location to be on the territory of Captain Wang, the middleman, would make it easier for him to gain the trust of his second uncle.

As for whether Captain Wang’s second uncle was reliable or not, Lin Bai had the divine level Human Detection Skill. When the time came, he would be able to see through it with just a glance. There was nothing to worry about.

Captain Wang and his team members spent the whole night exploring. Finally, they produced an authoritative exploration report with an official seal before seven o’clock the next morning.

At eight o’clock, Lin Bai arrived at Captain Wang’s office on time.

Captain Wang and his second uncle were already waiting there.

As soon as he saw Lin Bai, Captain Wang immediately introduced him enthusiastically.

“Mr. Lin, this is my second uncle, Wang Huaigu.”

“Second Uncle, this is the Mr. Lin that I told you about yesterday.”

Wang Huaigu immediately stood up and extended his hand with a big smile on his face.

“Mr. Lin, nice to meet you.”

“Nice to meet you.”

Lin Bai politely shook hands with him and took the opportunity to observe Wang Huaigu using the Divine level Human Detection Skill. A small translucent box immediately appeared above Wang Huaigu’s head.

On it were the words: “Loyal, honest, and dutiful.”

Lin Bai was relieved. At least this Wang Huaigu was not a profiteer. He was a trustworthy buyer.

After a simple exchange of pleasantries, the three of them sat down. Lin Bai went straight to the point.

He said, “Mr. Wang, I believe your nephew has already told you about the situation at the Yunding Mountain Villa.”

“In this case, I won’t waste any more time. The gold mine and the rare earth mine will be packaged together at two billion yuan. Can you accept it?”

Lin Bai had checked the market price before he came. This price was definitely not expensive and could only be considered as a medium price.

Wang Huaigu looked troubled.

“This price is much higher than what I expected... To be honest, I really like the two mines in Yunding Villa.

If they can be cheaper, I’ll take them directly.”

“Mr. Lin, you’re a straightforward person. I won’t beat around the bush with you. How about this? A flat price of 1.5 billion. What do you think? If it’s possible, I can sign the contract and transfer the money now.”

Wang Huaigu was so happy because Captain Wang told him that the final exploration result of the rare earth mine was much larger than the initial estimate.

Therefore, the estimated value of the rare earth mine was around one billion.

Including the gold mine, it was worth at least two billion.

At least if he bought it at a price lower than this, he would definitely make a profit.

That was why Wang Huaigu was so forthright and even willing to promise to send money on the same day.

Captain Wang did not tell Lin Bai about the specific valuation.

However, with his experience in bargaining, Lin Bai knew that since Wang Huaigu could offer such a generous price, it meant that he would definitely make a big profit.

Therefore, Lin Bai tried to raise the price a little.

“1.8 billion.”

Wang Huaigu pondered for a moment. He knew that if he bought this price, he would definitely make a profit without losing anything.

At least, he could earn more than 200 million. However, in order to maximize the profit margin, he still continued to bargain.

“No, 1.6 billion at most.”

Lin Bai saw that he hesitated and did not directly reject it. He knew that 1.8 billion was actually a price that Wang Huaigu could still make a profit at.

It was just that the profit margin was a little small, so he didn’t agree immediately.

Therefore, Lin Bai insisted, “The lowest price is 1.8 billion. If that’s not possible, I can only contact other buyers.”

“It just so happens that I have a classmate whose family also does this kind of thing. Yesterday, when he heard that a gold mine had been discovered in my project, he pestered me to buy it.”

“I told him that I had already made an appointment with you guys, and he was still complaining about why I didn’t tell him first.”

“If Mr. Wang can’t accept this price, then I’ll go to my classmate’s home and talk to his parents, so that he won’t complain that I have something good that I don’t leave to my family.”

Lin Bai’s words were actually all nonsense. He just wanted to make Wang Huaigu feel a little nervous. When Wang Huaigu heard this, he was indeed anxious.

“No, no, no, 1.8 billion it is. I’ll buy it!”

“In business, we have to pay attention to the principle of first come, first served. Since we were the first to negotiate, I should be the first to conclude the deal, right?”

Lin Bai nodded with a smile.

“Of course. We have to abide by the principle of first come, first served in everything. Since you are the first to make the deal, of course, I’ll give priority to selling it to you at the same price.”

Wang Huaigu said, “Then it’s settled. I’ll get someone to prepare the contract now, and we’ll sign it right away!”

“Okay.”

Lin Bai emphasized, “You have to specify on the contract that the transfer of 1.8 billion must be paid before 5 p.m. today.”

Since the auction would start at 8 p.m. today, Lin Bai had to get on the plane at 5 p.m. at the latest.

Before that, he had to get all the money.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to bid for the final piece of the Mayan prophecy tablet.

Wang Huaigu promised, “Okay, no problem.”

Then, he immediately asked the staff of the legal department to draft the contract.. Before long, someone sent over a printed contract.
