Chapter: 6162
Helena shook her head and said, "I came here not only to make a deal with Mr. Rockefeller but also to establish a foundation for future communication between the Roselle family and their tribe leader. If Steve were to inherit today, I would naturally need to be present to witness and establish a good rapport with the new tribe leader. However, since Mr. Rockefeller is not planning to retire, my goal in coming to New York has already been achieved, and staying behind would be a waste of time."
Howard immediately understood her meaning and said with a smile, "Your Majesty is indeed a master negotiator, like someone so young yet able to control the rhythm of negotiations so well. I've never seen anyone as skilled! With Your Majesty sitting at the throne of the Northern European royal court, you will surely rise to greater heights!"
Helena smiled and said, "Mr. Rockefeller overestimates me. I can control the rhythm because I have a good teacher."
Howard asked hurriedly, "I wonder who Your Majesty's teacher is? If there's an opportunity, I'd like to get to know them too!"
Helena spoke in a low tone, "My teacher prefers to keep a low profile and doesn't like seeking fame or reputation. However, I believe that Mr. Rockefeller will have the chance to meet him in the future."
Howard smiled politely and said, "That would be great!"
Helena said, "It's getting late, Mr. Rockefeller, I'll take my leave first."
Howard nodded and called out as Helena turned to leave, "Wait, Your Majesty!"
Helena turned back and asked curiously, "Mr. Rockefeller has something else to say?"
Howard asked anxiously, "Your Majesty, those magical Oriental pills are still available? If they are, I'd like to buy more of them."
Helena shook her head, "Mr. Rockefeller, these magical pills are rare and unpredictable, each one requires a great deal of luck. Think about it, can an individual have multiple chances to cheat death and gain blessings?"
Howard laughed and said, "People are always greedy, although I've had one such opportunity, I really hope to have another chance, or even a third. If Your Majesty has this opportunity, please don't be stingy, I'll give you a satisfactory price."
"Are you going to pay a satisfactory price?" Helena murmured and pretended to think about it, with a hint of disdain saying, "As Mr. Rockefeller, your reputation is not that good as a buyer, even if I still have these pills, I won't trade with you again in the future."
Howard asked unintentionally, "Your Majesty, why did you say that?"
Helena smiled and shrugged, saying lightly, "Maybe because I don't like haggling. If there's another chance, I'll find a more pleasant buyer, saving time while also keeping my mood good. You're a businessman too, when you're on the selling side, you always have to deal with buyers who are picky and suspicious about your goods' authenticity, so you won't be happy either."
Howard knew that Helena was mocking him for his recent haggling behavior.
At this moment, he might feel a bit uncomfortable in his heart, but he also realizes a very big problem. If Helena's words are not just empty talk, then he would have missed another chance to prolong his life.
Thinking about this, he suddenly regrets his recent haggling behavior. So, without hesitation, he says, "Your Majesty, don't be angry. I'm a businessman, and I'm used to bargaining. Even if it's just a penny, I'll find ways to lower the price. If Your Majesty is not comfortable with that, then I won't bargain at all. I'll give you back 100 billion dollars right away, so how about that?"
Helena waved her hand dismissively: "No need, no need. As you said, purchasing AI model hardware also requires costs. I'd rather take the loss myself than let you take the loss. After all, Mr. Rockefeller is already an old man and has had a stroke once. If he takes another loss or affects his mood, it would be my fault."
"Not not not!" Howard, having given up worrying about being mocked, rushed to Helena's side, extremely agitated: "For Your Majesty to purchase hardware, this is something we should do. Your Majesty, please don't be too polite."
As he spoke, he looked regretful and said, "Your Majesty, I'm old now, and my thinking patterns are full of old habits left over from decades ago. Haggling is one of them. However, Your Majesty, please rest assured that in the future, the Rockefeller family will do business with Your Majesty without haggling at all!"
Experiencing the powerful effects of the blood preservation elixir, Howard keenly senses that this thing must be a lifesaver.
Although I'm recovered now, but as an old man, other problems are bound to emerge. And besides, doctors also say that strokes are particularly prone to recurrence, with about 20% of stroke patients experiencing another stroke within five years. If it happens again, my body may not even be able to withstand it.
So, if I could buy one more blood preservation elixir or reserve one, I would be worry-free.
He doesn't even know for sure whether Helena has another one, but he knows that he definitely can't let her leave New York with an opinion and dissatisfaction, so that later on, there won't be a chance to buy again. JrNovels.com
