Chapter 76 Attending The Banquet

Rosie tried hard to contain her rage, maintaining a seemingly friendly tone. "Isn't thirty million enough? What kind of price are you looking for? It's merely a design blueprint. Do you honestly need to ask for an unreasonable price?" she said.

In the past few days, she had been reaching out to the contacts Kennedi had given her to ask for design quotes.

While many studios and freelance designers quoted around ten million, none could promise a top-tier design capable of clinching a victory in the Harper Group's design contest.

The Night Studio was the sole firm confident enough to promise a win, yet their staff's aloof behavior, as if uninterested in whether she hired them, only served to upset her.

Thiago responded with unruffled ease, "Are you aware of the potential value our design could bring? Our work could secure you at least third place at the Harper Group's design competition, paving the way for a partnership with them. Have you considered the annual profits from such a collaboration? Besides, we rarely sell our designs. Thirty million will only buy you a mediocre design. If that satisfies you, we can proceed at that price."

Rosie found Thiago's logic unacceptable, and her irritation deepened as she tried to determine their asking price. "What is your price then?" she asked.

Thiago calmly answered, "For exclusive rights to a top-tier design, one hundred million."
