If they knew Hector would be so demanding, then they should have just immediately sold it.
For now, it would be very difficult for him to get away from this situation.
He could not afford to offend Hector and he did not want to know who Jasper was anymore because from what he could see right now, Jasper was definitely not Hector’s rival.
That was why he did not even consider getting in contact with Jasper. He even made the decision that if Hector did not cut the price down too low, he would just sell the company.
Leo was thinking this while bracing himself as he saw that the two of them were already in a state of mutual hostility.
It was none of his business if these two fought to their deaths, but since he was here, he would be undoubtedly involved in it too.
Leo could not afford to provoke these men.
Hector laughed at Leo’s statement and said, “Right, we don’t want word about this to go out and have people call me petty for not allowing someone to eat.”
After he said that, Hector waved his hand. “Serve the food.”
The servers quickly brought out all kinds of food. They all smelled, looked, and tasted great. It would be difficult for them to find such food elsewhere.
However, no one at the table had the appetite to eat.
Hector said, “I’m determined to get Easy Media so please, Mr. Kings, give me a good price.”
Leo and his brother, Noah King, looked at each other. They had already thought of a price on their way here.
“500 million.”
To be honest, the maximum market price for Easy Media right now was approximately 400 million.
By asking for 500 million, they were giving themselves a huge leeway.
However, Hector frowned and was dissatisfied to hear the price.
He expected to take down Easy Media with 200 million.
Even though he was one of the members of the Residence and his family was pretty powerful, when it came to money, he did not have that much.
His family would only be able to handle 200 million.
However, Hector did not care. He was clear that the King brothers were not idiots. As long as he said something, they had to sell and even if they did not want to, they would have to sell it to him all the same.
“Deal.”
When Hector was about to say something, Jasper’s one word shocked everyone at the table.
His clear and sonorous voice was filled with unquestionable certainty. Everyone looked over, their eyes all on Jasper.
Jasper looked calm and was even in the mood to enjoy some duck breast. Yes, the food cooked by a chef who previously worked in a palace was indeed amazing.
At this moment, Leo, who just proposed the price, saw Hector’s face getting darker and darker. He looked as if he was going to explode at any second, and at the same time, he looked as if he was going to start crying internally as well.
‘Damn it, my asking price is obviously fake. Jasper, do you have too much money that it’s starting to burn a hole in your pocket?’
Jasper was willing to spend 500 million to buy Easy Media, and of course, Leo did not have any opinions about that. However, Hector was still here and if he were to reach a deal with Jasper, this would not be a matter of 500 million.
“Mr. Laine, I…”
Jasper immediately interrupted Leo and said with a raised eyebrow, “Didn’t you just say 500 million, Mr. King? I think this price is very reasonable so I can make a deal with you right now. We can sign the contract now and I can transfer the money to you immediately.”
“…”
To be honest, this was the most straightforward business transaction Leo had done in his 40 years of living.
If Hector was not sitting here, he wanted so badly to hug Jasper and kiss him a few times.
However, he only wanted to stand up and run away now.
He did not dare to offend Hector.
With a loud slam, Hector slammed his fork on the table and looked at Jasper with dark eyes. He said frigidly, “Laine, are you sure you want to fight me over this?”
After slowly taking a sip of the lobster bisque, Jasper did not even raise his head before saying insipidly, “Since we’re doing business, of course, there will be buying and selling. Mr. King proposed a price and I’m willing to pay it. What’s the problem with that?
“Mr. Combe, if you’re not happy, you can compete with me. Just name your price!”
