Chapter 14 Managing Money Well Leads to Managing People Well
Because Mountain Eagle was unfamiliar with Killing Bee's team, he didn't speak...
But it seemed that Blood Fox took deliberate care of him by communicating in English and even slowed down the pace.
The two parties didn't have much disagreement about the mission, the only issue was the bounty!
Mountain Eagle initially thought that five people were too few, given that they were targeting the notorious figures of the Golden Triangle...
However, he soon realized something was amiss because not only were their numbers small, but their asking price was also outrageous!
Killing Bee, while dealing with Mi Lu's poisonous tongue, was learning how to haggle from Blood Fox. They negotiated the bounty from US$1 million to US$2 million, and then adamantly refused to lower it any further.
Just when Mountain Eagle thought Blood Fox would reject Killing Bee, unexpectedly, the old man nodded his approval and even put on reading glasses. He proficiently printed a contract headed by International Intermediary Company for the other party to sign...
As Killing Bee and his team joyfully reviewed the contract, Mountain Eagle incredulously pulled Blood Fox aside and whispered, "Are you insane? US$2 million?
If you sold me and added the Revenge Fund, it would only amount to US$1.5 million. In case there's no spoils of war, are you prepared to cover an extra US$500,000 yourself!"
Hearing this, Blood Fox frowned and looked at Mountain Eagle, saying, "What are you talking about? We're attacking the drug lord Naokan, who has hundreds of minions...
Hiring five experts familiar with the Golden Triangle for US$2 million Thai Baht, though twice the market price, is worthwhile because they come with their own weapons and have good credibility.
