Chapter 155 Alpha Tower
"You dare ask me such a question?" The guy had veins popping out on his forehead due to anger. This was embarrassing. He had been talking about this and that but in the end, Jack was pretending not to know him?r
There were already several people present on this floor. So, when he was talking, he had already attracted a good number of people. He was intending to embarrass Jack. Who would have thought that Jack would be the first to embarrass him?r
"I said I don't know you. So, please, don't go around calling others cousin when they don't even know you." Immediately after saying that, Jack walked away.r
The young man who had been introducing the buildings to Jack hurriedly followed him.r
Arthur on the other hand had a dark expression on his face. He thought for a while and decided to follow them. If Jack couldn't afford the building, he might as well use that chance to embarrass him.r
What's more, if it was true that Jack could truly afford the building, he might as well go ahead and ask his father to help him in buying it. In this way, he could anger Jack.r
Although he knew that his father might not agree to him spending money on buying a building if he had no use for it, he was sure that once he mentioned Johnathan, his father would be more than willing to spend.r
Additionally, this was a building. The price of the building would keep on rising as time went by. So, he might as well sell it in the future at a profit. Although he had to spend more at this time, it wouldn't be bad as he would soon earn his money back with a big profit in three to five years.r
Jack didn't know what Arthur was actually planning on. Even if he knew, he wouldn't care about that at all.r
The two of them got into his Lamborghini Urus after the young salesman took the keys and his identity pass.r
As he drove the car, Jack noticed that there was a car that was following behind him. He could already tell that it was the other guy who was following them. He didn't care whether that guy followed them or not.r
But as long as he dared to cause him trouble, Jack would be sure to make him know that he wasn't one of those people that were easy to mess with.r
Twenty minutes later, they arrived in front of a tower. This tower was cylindrical in shape. Even though the afternoon sun was hitting the floor to ceiling glass on the building, there was no reflection at all. It was like the glass could absorb the light from the sun.r
Jack nodded. Although he knew that this might lead to the increase in temperatures inside, he wasn't worried because there were air conditioners in such buildings.r
The tower had occupied a huge space. Furthermore, there was ample parking space outside added to another that was located underground.r
After getting out of the car, Jack saw that the car that had been following them had arrived. And after the other party parked the car, he alighted alongside the girl that he had brought along.r
Jack ignored him. It wasn't like he could chase him away because he had yet to purchase the building. It was still in the market and so, he could go and take a look and buy it as long as he wanted.r
The four entered the building without any scruples. Then, the young man began introducing the building to them once again. Jack couldn't help but be amazed by the level of technology here.r
In the elevator, there was no need to press buttons. Just mentioning the floor and the elevator would take you there. In other words, it was voice control.r
To enter the office, one had to register his information first. Then, the moment that the person arrived, the door would be automatically opened. The office could only be open to the owner of the building and the owner of the office.r
For the others, there was only a single additional person that could enter. That might be the supervisor or the manager. All of this depended on who it was that recorded his information.r
It was made in such a way that it would save electricity. Once the owner of the office left in the evening, as long as there was nothing left to do, everything would be automatically switched off. This included the desktop and the lights. So, it was advisable that if there was someone working on a document, he/she had to save it before leaving.r
The more Jack looked, the more he was impressed. This Alpha tower was impressive. He now wondered why it was that till this point there was nobody who had actually bought it.r
"It's not that there are no people who want to buy it. It's just that they can't manage to. The one who developed the building stated that the building could only be sold as one unit and not in terms of floors." The young man began explaining.r
"And, most of the big companies that might need a whole building already have their own. As for the new ones, they may not afford buying the building considering the price."r
"Although it's true that there are those who can afford the building if they paid in installments, the developer wants it to be bought all at once. He doesn't want the case where he would have to start chasing after a person after that person fails to pay on time."r
Jack understood. It seemed that the developer was one of those paranoid people. He couldn't accept selling the building by having it sold floor by floor.r
And, maybe he thought that although they might come to an agreement with the person who wanted to buy the building in installments, who could guarantee that the business of that person wouldn't collapse the following day? The business world was unpredictable.r
Anyway, Jack didn't care about that. He liked the building and could pay for it at once. After all, his balance was over $26B.r
Arthur on the other hand was amazed too. He had never cared about buying an office building. His family already had several buildings and he saw no need for him to purchase another one.r
But looking at the building and the level of technology here, he thought that it wouldn't be a loss to buy the building at all. Now, he didn't want to buy the building so as to anger and humiliate Jack again. Instead, he was truly tempted to buy it.r
Before Jack could say that he was taking the building, Arthur shouted. "I'm willing to buy the building. No matter what the price is, I'm taking it!"r
Jack looked at him with raised brows. He could still remember that this guy wasn't even paying attention to what the salesman was trying to explain when it came to the conditions of buying the building.r
"Ah, this gentleman here was the first one to ask for me to show him the building." The young man scratched his head not knowing what to do.r
"What are you talking about? The building can be bought by anyone as long as he hasn't bought it. And as far as I know, he hasn't even agreed that he's going to buy it." Arthur sneered as he gazed at Jack.r
The young man found that this was reasonable. But, he didn't know what to do in this kind of situation. Just as he was hesitating on what to do, Jack spoke.r
"Let him have it. As long as he can afford it, there's no problem at all." As Jack spoke, there was a smile on his face. Even though this guy might be from the Jesda family, it wasn't like anyone from the Jesda family could fork out billions of dollars as long as they wanted.r
The Jesda family was rich. But, that was mainly in terms of assets. What Jack was sure about was that they wouldn't be ready to affect their capital flow just to buy a building as long as there was no urgent need for it.r
"Hahaha, see? I knew that you couldn't afford the building. Now you simply wasted this guy's time to come and do all that introduction . All of this was for nothing." Arthur laughed loudly.r
Jack didn't say a word to respond to his words. He simply stood at the side and waited patiently.r
"Since I'm buying the building, why don't you scram from here?" Arthur stated as he looked at Jack.r
"You said it. Although you have agreed to buy the building, you haven't bought it yet. Just buy it before you can get the right to chase me away." Jack replied calmly.r
"Humph. Do you think that I won't? Let me show you the difference between the two of us." Arthur said. He looked at the young man and asked, "What is the minimum deposit?"r
"Deposit?" The young man was dumbfounded. Didn't he just explain that the building had to be purchased in a single swoop? How come this guy was actually asking about a deposit.r
"He's deaf at times. You should explain to him the conditions for purchasing this building again. Maybe he will hear you this time." Jack snickered as he said.r
"You!" Arthur was angered. He looked at Jack as if he was going to beat him up. But thinking that it would be better of he could embarrass him first, he looked at the young salesman and waited for the explanation.r
On the other hand, the young man thought that what Jack had said was true since the two of them were cousins. So, he went ahead and explained the same thing as he had told Jack.r
"Eh? There's no deposit? You have to buy it all at once?" Arthur was flabbergasted. He couldn't believe that there was such a condition. It was no wonder that the building had yet to be bought although it was good.r
"You can't afford it?" Jack asked from the side.r
"Humph, do you think that I'm like you?" Arthur snorted before he took out his phone. He decided to call his father. He went on to explain that he was competing with Johnathan for a building and that he was short of money.r
Although the old man hesitated at first, when he heard the mentioning of Johnathan, he agreed immediately.r
