The Strongest Man in the Universe

Chapter 11

David was eating the most beautiful food in his private room. It's nice to have money. This was a food he never dared to dream of eating. Now, he ate half of it and threw away the rest.

As he enjoyed himself, the door was pushed open. David thought Pearl was here, so he said, “Nona Pearl, come here and accompany me to eat.”

When he turned his head, he saw a man in his thirties walking over. Pearl walked behind while in front of her was a man in his forties or fifties. Other than Pearl, she did not know the two men. However, Pearl looked deathly pale and her eyes were slightly red. David knew what was going on.

"Mr Lidell, hello. I'm the boss here and my name is Huge Greene. May I know if you are happy with the food and service provided here, Mr Lidell? If you need something, you can tell me and we will definitely fulfill your request.” said Hugh humbled after approaching David.

He was very interested in David. He must be a rich kid from a rich family because he could spend 100 million just to eat and have fun. Plus, he was also very young, which is why Hugh wanted to get to know him. It's not a bad thing to know more friends. Hugh was a businessman, and the bigger his network was, the more opportunities he had.

The Golden Leaf Hotel is just one of its industries. He manages many different industries at the same time, so there is a possibility he could work with David or the David family in the future.

"Hello, Mr. Greene. I am very satisfied with this place.”

"That's great. I hear you're a top student at SRU? What a talented young man." said Hugh respectfully.

“Yes, but I'm not talented. I know myself better than anyone.”

“Mr Liddell, you are too humble. SRU is one of the top 5 campuses in the country. Anyone who can study there must be an elite in their industry."

"This is my business card. If you need me, you can contact me anytime.” Hugh then handed David a shiny card.

"Master. Greene, I want to ask you something" David said as he picked up the card.

"Please tell Mr. David."

“Do you want to sell this hotel?”

“Hah?” Hugh was stunned by the question. Not only Hugh, Sean and Pearl behind him were dumbfounded as well.

"Mr Lidell, are you kidding me?” Hugh smiled and asked.

“Do I look like I'm joking? If you want to sell it, I will buy it. I'm not joking with you" David said seriously.

"Mr Lidell, did you know that the construction of this hotel alone cost more than ten billion dollars, and that does not include the land. Are you sure you want to buy it?”

"of course! If you want to sell, just mention the price. If not, then no problem.”

Hugh looked at David for a moment. He felt that he could not understand a child younger than him for more than a decade. He could ignore the fact that David spent 100 million just on food, but now he asks if he is willing to sell the hotel?

There are some people who can take a few hundred million dollars in cash, but not many people can take billions of dollars in cash. Even if David had assets of hundreds of billions, his family would not let him do this.

‘Is he the heir to an invisible rich family?'

I think only people like them can play around like this.’ thought Huge in his heart.

"Mr Lidell, if you're serious about buying, it can be done. However, I need to discuss this with our shareholders. After all, this hotel is not just mine. However, I need to tell you that we need to be paid at once.”

"Alright, please. Tell me as soon as possible after you get the answer." replied David indifferently.

“OK, Mr. Lidell, please enjoy your meal. I'll give you the answer later." Hugh said and left the private room. Sean followed her.

Pearl initially wants to leave, but David stops her. "Miss Pearl, wait. There's something I want to tell you.”

Pearl thought about it, and in the end, she decided to stay. He could lose his job, but he couldn't lose David.

Earlier, when David said he wanted to buy this hotel, he was terrified. It will cost tens of billions of dollars and they ask for it all at once.

If David bought this place, David would definitely not fire him based on their relationship. Maybe he even promoted it.

He hoped the boss would sell the hotel to David and David could afford it. He's already given his boss a bad impression, so if he doesn't get a new boss, it'll be hard to say if he can keep his job.

After Hugh returned to his office, he pulled out his phone and opened Whatsapp. Then, he sent a message to the group chat with just four people.

Soon, someone named Earl Durham answered him.

Earl: Who is this extravagant person?

Hugh: This is a student named David Lidell. He studied at SRU.

James: A student? Hugh, old man, are you being tricked? How can a university boy spend tens of billions to buy our hotel?

Earl: I think so too!

Hugh: Do I look like someone who is easily deceived?

Bill: Yeah!

Hugh: I'm not kidding with you guys. I'm serious, are we going to sell it or not? He's still waiting for answers!

Earl: It depends on you. You are the largest shareholder.

Hugh: If all your shares combined will be more than mine! If I want to sell but you refuse, I can't do anything.

James: Will he really buy it? Who her? Are you sure he can afford it?

Hugh: I think he's capable of it. Yesterday, he had just filled out a membership card with 100 million just for food.

James: If that was the case, he might not have joked. Who do you think he is, guys? He was so young and he could spend so much money!

Earl: Could be the heir to that invisible rich family. Bill, say something. Haven't you interacted with these people before?

Bill: If he could really spend tens of billions to buy the Golden Leaf Hotel, then I could basically be sure he was one of them. They are usually here to gain experience and suffer some hardships before they finally take over part of their family industry when the time comes.

Hugh: Should we investigate?

Bill: No! If he finds out, you won't even know how you died.

Hugh: Is he very strong? What era are we in? Aren't you exaggerating this out of proportion?

Bill: You've never experienced some things, so that's why you don't know what life really is like. They are so strong that they are scary. If there's a chance, I'll show it to you.

James: I want to see how bad this so-called invisible figure has been.

Earl: Me too!

Hugh: Okay! So, are we going to sell or not?

Bill: How much does he offer?

Hugh: He asked me to mention the price.

Bill: What about you two? I'm fine, I'll take both of you'll advice. I'm not short of money. If the deal is done, I want to get to know this guy.

James: I think we can sell it for 18 billion. Back when hotels were built, we spent about 12 billion. After all, we made tens of billions of dollars in profits over the years. I think if we sell 18 billion, we can get back about double the investment. I have a project now and we can invest that money into this project.

Hugh: What is that project?

James: Not yet decided. When we're done, we'll find time to meet up and talk about it.

Earl: I think it can be done. Hugh, just tell him 20 billion. If nego, at least 18 billion. We won't sell it if it's lower than that.

Hugh: All right, I'll tell him 20 billion and see what he says. I'll go now and give you the latest news soon.

Once they reach an agreement, Hugh will come downstairs to tell David the price.
