He slowly asked, "May I ask what your price expectation is?"
Everyone's gaze turned toward Chen Cheng, who was seated a table away.
He slowly set down his teacup and said, "550 million."
The interpreter translated Chen Cheng's price accurately: "550 million."
The people at the table, including Wen Shulin, all widened their eyes upon hearing Chen Cheng's quote.
David and the others were surprised. The equity worth more than 2 billion was being undersold by Chen Cheng.
Wen Shulin, on the other hand, was puzzled. This was completely contrary to the strategy devised during last night's exercise.
But she didn't say anything else because she had faith in Chen Cheng.
Seeing that some people were almost baring their teeth, Chen Cheng added,
"What I said is in dollar, US dollar."
He leaned back into his chair, knowing full well that everyone had understood, yet he raised his hand to signal the interpreter, "Translate, translate."
