The young man exchanged a glance with the bodyguard beside him, who immediately took out two documents and placed them in front of David Hamilton. The documents contained a lot of information, including specific locations, area sizes, number of floors, and so on. David Hamilton read them slowly: “Hmm, there’s an internet café and a billiard hall nearby, each 400 square meters. Three restaurants, standalone buildings, occupying a total of 6,300 square meters. Two hotels, with a total area of 1,100 square meters. Forty-eight residences in total, with a combined area of 5,200 square meters.”

After reading through all the information, David Hamilton lightly flicked the documents in his hand: “Old bro, I didn’t expect you to have so much on hand. So many good things—what, you want me to take them all off your hands?”

Seeing that David Hamilton understood his meaning, the young man immediately became nervous: “So, my ‘good little brother’, all these properties are what I’ve accumulated over the years. Since you’re interested, why not take them? If you’re going to squander money, you might as well do it on a grand scale, right?”

“Hmm, I like what I’m hearing. You really do know me, old bro.” David Hamilton laughed heartily. “Then name your price, let me see. If it’s reasonable, I’ll take them all. How about it?”

Grace Carter, standing to the side, had no idea what David Hamilton was thinking. This young man clearly didn’t come with good intentions, so why was David Hamilton even discussing cooperation with him? And with so many properties, this wasn’t a small sum. But now, she was completely unable to understand this level of extravagant behavior, so she simply stayed silent and waited to see what would happen.

Even if David Hamilton’s parents really spoiled him that much, they probably wouldn’t just go along with this, right? These properties must be worth at least twenty or thirty million, right?

Sure enough, the young man only hesitated briefly before naming his ideal price: “Altogether, thirty-five million. So, my good little brother, are you planning to take them all? In your whole life, I don’t think you’ve ever squandered money on this scale before, have you?”

“Hmm, now that’s interesting—I like it.” David Hamilton stroked his chin, calculating silently: “These properties definitely wouldn’t fetch that much in this world, but the content is pretty good. If I take them all, wouldn’t my attribute points skyrocket? But how can I buy them all with my own money? That’s the question. If my own money isn’t enough, can I count the family’s money? That’s a serious issue too.”

In short, for now, never mind all that. Even though David Hamilton wanted to squander money, he couldn’t just play the fool in front of the other party, right? With a snap of his fingers, David Hamilton said with a grin, “Lily, help me calculate what a fair price for all this would be.”

“Yes, young master.” Lily Lane took the documents and started calculating item by item: “The internet café and billiard hall nearby have never done very well; they basically just break even or lose money, so for these two storefronts, a total of 800 square meters, the price should be about 2,200 yuan per square meter. The three restaurants do a bit better than the internet café and billiard hall, but not by much—about 2,500 per square meter. The two hotels are even worse, so let’s say 2,000 per square meter. As for the forty-eight residences, at best, about 800 per square meter.”

“So, in total,” Lily Lane somehow produced a calculator from who knows where, “the internet café and billiard hall come to 1.76 million. The three restaurants are 15.75 million. The hotels, 2.2 million, and finally, the forty-eight residences total 4.16 million. Altogether, the total value is…” After a flurry of button presses, Lily concluded, “23.87 million.”

The young man was dumbfounded as he listened, and finally blurted out, “Th-this young lady, where did you come from? How can you calculate so accurately?!” How could he not be shocked? The price Lily Lane came up with differed from the asset appraisal experts’ estimates by less than a hundred thousand, maybe even more precise.

“I’m a finance major at Tianjing University,” Lily Lane replied with a shy smile. “Currently working for young master David.”

Who would have thought! I really hit the jackpot today, just ran into such a talent by chance! David Hamilton laughed heartily: “Lily, your calculations are spot on. I’ll give you a big reward—five thousand yuan tip later!”

Lily Lane smiled and said, “Thank you for your generosity, young master.”

“Alright, so now,” David Hamilton looked at this ‘brother’ who had appeared out of nowhere, “I’ll offer 25 million. What do you think, old bro?”

Twenty-five million—although he didn’t manage to trick him into paying thirty-five million, twenty-five million was still within an acceptable range. The young man thought for a moment, then gritted his teeth: “Fine! It’s a deal. David, shall we sign the contract now?” For a location like this, a classic case of a chicken rib—tasteless to eat, a pity to throw away—keeping it was a hassle, and there were few buyers. Now that David Hamilton, this prodigal, was willing to take it all at once, there was no need to hesitate.
