At this moment, the city government leader who had been silent all along spoke up: "Dadi Cinema is a landmark of our Magic City. We had no choice but to hold this auction. However, the price you offered is indeed far from the actual value of Dadi Cinema. What is the highest price you can offer? We can discuss it."

Fang Yang softened his tone and said, "Actually, what we value in Dadi Cinema is its existing premises. We don't need to spend time and effort finding a new location. The cinema market is generally sluggish right now, with profits declining every year. Judging from Dadi Cinema's current situation, it will continue to lose money after the New Year, and the rate of loss will only accelerate. After we take over, we will face the risk of losses in the short term, and it's uncertain how long these losses will last. Therefore, the price we offer is actually the actual value of Dadi Cinema after the New Year. I believe everyone here understands this. We are here in good faith. The 1.8 billion in cash will be credited to your account immediately after the signing of the transfer agreement, provided you agree. There will be no delays. Please consider it carefully, and we believe in your sincerity!"

The people on the other side exchanged glances, and it was the city government leader who spoke up: "Your price is too far from what we're willing to pay, so we can't accept it. Why don't you go back and discuss it with us, and see what the highest price you can offer, and then we'll discuss it further."

Fang Yang stood up. "That's a real shame. This is our final price. If we can't reach an agreement, we'll have to miss this opportunity. I'm sorry to have taken up your valuable time. We'll take our leave now!"

Fang Yang nodded to the people opposite him to say goodbye, without showing any sign of reluctance. He was already unhappy with the feeling when he first came in today, so he didn't hesitate and led the way out of the conference room cleanly and neatly.
