Chapter 531: Letting Haber Pay the Construction Bill (Part Two)
“That kind of money isn’t appetizing for me at all.” Xu Cheng said, “You just need to find me a team.”
“It will be very difficult.” Haber smacked his lips and said, “You know that I have a sensitive identity. Arabia would never get involved in those kinds of things. To be blunt, the Land of Mercenaries is basically the battlefield training ground for all the big nations to test out their weapons and exercise their troops. I notice that you really are a unique guy, how big is your heart, really? Why do you always want to get involved with this kind of sh-t?”
“I didn’t say you will be helping me for free. If you agree, then I think I can give you a pretty good compensation.”
“Don’t mention money to me. To other people, money is almighty, but to me, it’s just a bunch of paper that I can never finish spending. If you really want to give me paper as a gift, then I will just burn it.” Haber looked like he despised money like it was just crap.
Xu Cheng glanced at him and faintly smiled. “Don’t regret it then. Since you don’t want to hook me up this partnership, then oh well, I will find someone else. I think there are many people in the world that are willing to cooperate with me.”
Hearing this, Haber indeed became a bit curious.
He pulled on Xu Cheng’s arm and said, “Wait a minute, you aren’t that kind of a vulgar guy that would only talk about money all day. But, you know as well, Arab royalty like me really have seen all that there is to see and experience in this world. Even things like gold and diamonds are treated like plastic garbage by us. But since you sound this confident in bringing up the offer to me, then I think this gift is definitely not simple. And judging by how you didn’t force the deal at all and walked away right after I refused, that means your bargaining chip really is something interesting. Come on, don’t act mysterious with me. Just tell me, what is it?”
Xu Cheng said, “Tell me first, are you going to help me find the construction team or not?”
Haber struggled for a bit. After looking at Xu Cheng for a long time, he said to him, “Let me make it clear again, I won’t interfere with anything in the Land of Mercenaries, okay? I don’t care who’s behind you, but us Arabs aren’t gonna participate in it.”
Xu Cheng raised an “Okay” gesture. “Are you helping or not?”
“Yeah!” Haber laughed. “You know, rich people like us, we just lack excitement in our lives. Your way of gambling does attract me, I hope your thing can also attract me.”
Xu Cheng, “I also need you to just conveniently pay for the construction project too. My team did an estimate, the entire underground construction project will cost about a billion dollars.”
Haber was shocked. “You want me to pay? Wait a second, underground?”
His eyes glared open. “What the f-ck are you making? An underground weapon factory? Are you getting into firearm dealing now?”
Xu Cheng mocked with a smile, “Didn’t you say money is just paper to you?”
Haber: “Even if it’s paper, a billion dollars is gonna be about 100 tons of paper, that can crush people to death! Just manufacturing costs alone, how many trees do we have to chop to make into enough paper to be worth a billion? You also know, Arabia is short on fresh water, and greeneries are like our lifeline. How many trees do we have to chop and how much water went into feeding those trees? This isn’t a matter about money anymore.”
Xu Cheng was speechless. “This is the first time I heard someone express their love for money so beautifully. Why don’t you be an ambassador for the world’s environmental protection association? Just say to not use cash at all and just burn it all.”
Haber said eloquently and righteously, “I’ve thought about that too, burning my own money to show the world my big heart and my commitment in protecting the environment, but then, after I was reminded how burning the money would contribute to air pollution, I gave up. But from then on, I would firmly deny any cash transactions and only do bank transfers. I’m doing this to show the world how much I love the environment.”
Xu Cheng turned around and began walking. “Then never mind.”
Haber then pulled him back again. “Come on, man, don’t be like this. Just tell me first, what present are you going to prepare for me? Buddy, you already piqued my interest and curiosity…”
