Chapter 460 Dealing With the Devil


    "Waiter, I''ll get ck coffee for me, no sugar," Samuel ordered.


    Soon, the coffee was brought to him. He took a leisurely sip.


    "Your choice of coffee shop ismendable, Ms. Landon. The coffee has a rich vor and tastes


    great."


    Smiling, Jessica replied, "Then I must invite you for coffee more often in the future."


    "That sounds like a good idea."


    The two went back and forth, neither willing to concede.


    Jessica had initially thought Samuel would be easy to manipte, but she was somewhat surprised


    by his resilience.


    However, she wasn''t easily fooled either.


    As they finished their coffee, Jessica stood up and suggested, "Mr. Walker, it seems we have


    nothing left to discuss. Shall we call it a day?"


    Samuel smiled and slowly put down his coffee cup. "Ms. Landon, let''s not be hasty. Don''t you


    agree?"


    "Oh? Do you have any advice?"


    Samuel said calmly, "Since we''re discussing a partnership, mutual trust is the first step. From your


    behavior just now, it seems you don''t trust me much."


    Seeing Samuel''s direct approach, Jessica decided not to beat around the bush either. The two


    shared amon goal, so there was no need for pretense.


    She sat back down and admitted, "You''ve caught me, Mr. Walker."


    "It''s okay. It takes time to discuss a partnership."


    Jessica decided to get to the point. "You''re a wise man, so I''ll be straightforward."


    "Please, go ahead."


    "Landon Group has indeed acquired the Eastwoodnd and ns to develop real estate there. As


    we both know, the prospects of the real estate industry are clear.


    "Thisnd''s location is prime, and investing in it would surely be profitable. However, Landon


    Group''s current funds are limited. How much would you be willing to invest in it?"


    Samuel remained silent, but he smiled with satisfaction.


    "Ms. Landon, you''re very frank. In that case, I''ll be direct too. I will personally invest ten million


    dors for theter stages of construction and development."

    However, Jessica shook her head slightly at the mention of the numbers.


    "Mr. Walker, for such arge project, ten million dors might not be enough."


    "Not enough? What do you suggest then?"


    Jessica held up five fingers before him and said, "At least 50 million dors. I''ve already invested 50


    million dors in it.


    "If you can also invest the same amount, we can split the profits equally between us. How does that


    sound?"


    Getting 50 million dors was a challenge for Samuel.


    Despite being a director at Amirate Corporation with some stock, he didn''t have much liquid capital.


    Truth be told, even getting the ten million dors he had mentioned was a stretch.


    So 50 million dors was quite difficult for him.


    "What are you waiting for, Mr. Walker?"


    Samuel looked at her with determination. "Alright, 50 million dors it is! But I want to invest using


    my personal funds."


    Jessica understood. "That was my intention too."


    "Then, here''s to a sessful partnership!"


    Joy flickered in Jessica''s eyes. She hadn''t expected Samuel to agree so readily.


    "Alright, it''s settled then. I look forward to our partnership."


    "It''s a pleasure to work with you."
