The Understated Dragon Lord

Chapter 555 The Bonds of Classmates

"So if it's not two hundred million, how much is it?" Maya inquired.

"As far as I know, the total investment for the Golden Hill tourist town project is less than fifty billion. Based on the current profit margin in the industry, the gross profit is at most ten percent. So, the most we’re looking at is five billion in gross profit. In terms of net profit, it’s at most two or three billion.

For a net profit of two or three billion, you’re looking to just take one billion away. Even if I were to get this tourist town project with your help, it would still be busy work for no gain. It's a clear case of me doing all the work while you make the money,” Wyatt almost spoke the truth. Of course, being a businessman, he naturally skewed the conversation to his own advantage.

Net profit of two or three billion would be if the tourist town was built with real materials, strictly adhering to the standard construction protocols. But someone in real estate like him would never fully comply with national standards. Any chance to cut corners would be taken without hesitation.

All construction projects are not about how long they can last; it’s about whether they can pass inspection. Once it passes inspection, everything else is inconsequential.

After all, as long as it passes inspection, the money comes in. Whatever happens afterward— whether there’re leaks, cracks, or other issues—it doesn’t matter.

As long as the buildings don’t collapse or cause any significant incidents, all issues can be considered minor. Minor problems that can be solved with a little bit of money!

Maya knew precisely whether she was exaggerating or bluffing. Wyatt, that wily old fox, wasn’t as easy to fool as one might think.

Maya didn’t react hastily. Instead, she decided to play along, smiling mischievously at Wyatt.
