Chapter 200
Lethan was momentarily stunned, then his face turned dark as he asked, “Why are you talking about that mythical stuff again?”
“I predicted that there will be a cold wave this year.” Carlisle sighed with a worried expression.
His demeanor didn’t seem like an act at all.
“What?” Lethan sat up straight, his eyes wide with disbelief. “Are you serious?”
Carlisle had already surprised him by uncovering the affair between Quinn and John. He even predicted Riverwatch District’s development, which earned him millions.
Now, bringing up metaphysics didn’t seem so far–fetched.
“Do I look like I’m i
I’m joking with you? I’m worth over 100 million. Would I be doing this if I had time?” Carlisle rolled his eyes.
Lethan gulped at that. “Tell me about my marriage, then!”
Carlisle’s mouth twitched.
Why was Lethan even asking about his married life? With his wealth, he could have any woman he wanted!
Carlisle took another sip of his coffee before replying flatly, “I’m here to talk to you about a collaboration. If you’re in, great. If not, I’ll replace someone else.”
“Of course, I’m in! Even if you said you wanted to fill the ocean or tile the Statue of Liberty, I’d still
cooperate without hesitation!” Heath exaggerated.
Carlisle raised an eyebrow at those words. “Why do I feel like you’re trolling me?”
“Trolling” you? What do you mean?” Lethan didn’t understand Carlisle’s use of trendy internet phrases.
“Never mind.” Carlisle shook his head. “Let’s talk about how we can collaborate.”
Lethan’s expression became serious.
“I’ll go get a map,” Carlisle informed.
There was a map of Cascade State hanging in Carlisle’s master bedroom.
Carlisle went to the bedroom, brought back the map, placed it on the coffee table, and picked up a pencil before pointing at Cascade River,
“Cascade State is one of the top four provinces in the country in terms of annual fishery output value. Cascade River, the largest river in Cascade State, branches out into eight cities.
“65 percent of Cascade State’s aquatic products came from Cascade River. The cold wave will affect Cascade River’s aquatic ecosystem.
“Now, we need to buy Cascade River and the fish from other aquatic businesses in advance.
Chapte 200
Lethan pinched his nose bridge. “How cold does this cold wave have to be to affect the river’s
ecosystem?”
He felt conflicted. As much as he wanted to believe Carlisle’s words, he also felt that Carlisle was being
too far–fetched.
Carlisle continued, “I plan to build greenhouse complexes in Cascade State’s 13 cities. With three in each city, there will be a total of 39 complexes.
“Since we have very little time left, we need to speed up the company’s construction. The construction cost will be high because of that. I estimate that we will need to carefully invest around three billion.”
“Three billion is nowhere near enough,” Lethan mentioned as he picked up his cup and sipped his coffee.
He continued, “Cascade State’s total fishery output value in 2003 was about 9.7 billion. The end of the year is the peak season for fishery sales, accounting for at least 30 percent of the total output value.
“We need to invest at least ten billion. Three billion will be used to build the greenhouse complex ecosystem, and seven billion will be used to buy fish!”
“Can you get that much investment?” Carlisle asked with a smile.
“No… No one else other than me will believe your words.”
Lethan took another sip of his coffee before continuing, “However, I can ask Shania to invest. We can put in four billion, and with your two billion, we’ll have a total of six billion.
“I’ll ask Shania to think of other ways; she has a few pursuers who are quite wealthy. Maybe she can bring
in the rest of the investment!”
However, Carlisle said, “I can only invest one billion.”
Lethan protested, “What about the other billion? Are you planning to use it for another business?”
Carlisle nodded and admitted, “I need some investment for my mobile phone factory. The remaining money has to go to the mobile phones.”
Lethan looked at him with a conflicted gaze then.
“Will your mobile phone factory really make a profit?”
