"Because I am the one who bought the Château de la Villeconte."

Upon hearing Caroline's question, Ye Chen gave a calm reply.

Because I'm the one who bought the Château de la Villeconte?!

Ye Chen's answer exploded in Caroline's mind like a thunderclap!

Even a top genius like Caroline, with an IQ of 156, didn't expect this answer.

In her subconscious, being able to stand out from the competition among a group of European bigwigs and families meant that she must be a top-notch big shot.

Although Mr. Ye is also very capable, with various impressive identities and unlimited potential, he is still a bit far from being a top-tier figure.

But now Mr. Ye tells her that he is the mysterious top tycoon who bought the Castle of Waller-Vicomte.

At this moment, even Caroline lost her composure.

It seems I have greatly underestimated Mr. Ye's abilities.

You know, even his own grandfather, the dignified patriarch of the Wittelsbach family, couldn't do it.

Since the Château de la Villeconte belongs to Mr. Ye, then...

Caroline had an idea.

This castle serves a slightly different purpose.

"Mr. Ye, I would like to discuss our cooperation with you again in person. We can still discuss the profit-sharing ratio."

Caroline suddenly lowered her demands.

She has something to ask Mr. Ye.

"Can."

Ye Chen nodded.

Based on the Mansour family's attitude and proposal, Ye Chen realized from the side that Caroline was indeed very sincere.

The two parties do need to meet and discuss the profit-sharing ratio in detail.

"Then I'd appreciate it if Mr. Ye could come to my place tomorrow morning, at the Burj Al Arab Hotel."

Caroline suggested.

"Okay, see you tomorrow."

Ye Chen nodded.

As for why he should go to Caroline's place instead of Caroline coming to him, Ye Chen expressed his understanding.

After all, Caroline has difficulty moving around.

Caroline has a disability in both legs.

When Ye Chen first met Caroline, he noticed that Caroline's posture on the sofa was a little awkward.

Moreover, from the moment Ye Chen arrived until he left, Caroline remained seated on the sofa and did not stand up even once.

Ye Chen felt something was a little strange at the time, but he didn't think much of it.

Until recently, Ye Chen had seen Caroline's information on the [Advanced Character Profile Card].

Among the secrets revealed above is Caroline's disability in both legs.

Actually, Caroline didn't have a disability until two years ago, when she had an accident...

This is why Caroline traveled thousands of miles alone to the Middle East to manage the family business, far away from her relatives.

Few people probably know the secret that Caroline is disabled in both legs.

Ye Chen was quite moved when he saw this information.

The next morning, Ye Chen drove to the Burj Al Arab hotel where he had previously stayed to discuss cooperation plans with Caroline.

When Ye Chen saw Caroline again, she was sitting on the sofa, just like last time.

"Mr. Ye has arrived. Please have a seat."

Caroline spoke.

Ye Chen nodded.

“Mr. Ye, the deal we discussed before, where we would split profits 60/40, can now be changed to 30/70.”

Caroline got straight to the point.

"We can compromise, we only need 30%."

Caroline is willing to give up 10% of the profits.

Ye Chen was quite surprised to hear Caroline say that.

Because a large, brand-new, unexploited oil field is incredibly profitable.

Even a 10% profit margin is terrifying.

Ye Chen had indeed wanted Caroline to lower her share of the profits, but he hadn't been able to come up with a way to get her to agree.

But now, Caroline is actually offering to lower the percentage by 10%?

Why?

"Mr. Ye, please don't be surprised. I have a condition for giving up 10% of my profits."

Caroline explained.

There are requirements.

That's normal.

"Please speak."

Ye Chen nodded.

“I am willing to use this 10% profit to acquire the Vallée Conte Castle in Mr. Ye’s possession.”

Caroline said meticulously.

"In exchange for my Vallée-Viconte Castle?"

Ye Chen muttered to himself.

So Caroline had her eye on my castle.

“Mr. Ye, the Château de la Villecomte is indeed very valuable as the largest private castle in France, but its value is still less than one-tenth of that new oil field.”

"If we make this exchange, Mr. Ye will definitely not suffer a loss."

Caroline added that she hoped Ye Chen would agree.

For her, the Vallée-Viconte Castle served a different purpose.

Ye Chen fell into deep thought.

Caroline is right. If we're only talking about value, the value of Villeviconte Castle might not even be more than 10% of the profits from this large oil field.

The Château de la Villeconte is so valuable because there are very few privately owned castles available for sale in Europe today.

Moreover, some private castles are old and dilapidated, so buying them wouldn't be of much use.

Castles as famous, large, well-preserved, and in good condition as Villevi-Conte Castle are extremely rare.

These renowned private castles are generally not sold by their owners; they are symbols of their family's former status and prestige.

Just like the former owner of the Château de la Ville-Conte, no matter how important the person came, he just wouldn't sell it.

Just when Caroline thought Ye Chen would agree, Ye Chen said something surprising.

"I'm sorry, I refuse."
