Chapter 361 Encountering an Old Acquaintance Again
Donna's face immediately showed a look of astonishment upon hearing James' words.
Because in her view, James wanting to buy all the remaining houses was simply a pipe dream!
Even the wealthiest people couldn't possibly buy so many houses in one go, right?
Donna opened her mouth to speak to James but saw Pamela running over with some documents. Pamela anxiously said to James, "Mr. Smith, I just checked with the sales office. We still have 350 houses left in this development, worth a total of $1.05 billion. If you buy them all, I can talk to the company's chairman and waive the $50 million in change for you!"
"Yes, yes..." Demetrius, standing next to Pamela, nodded excitedly.
After all, Demetrius was the head of the sales office. If he could sell all the houses in one go, he would definitely benefit greatly. So now, Demetrius looked at James as if he were a god of wealth.
"Alright, go ahead and prepare the contract. I'll take all the remaining houses!" James didn't hesitate at all and nodded lightly at Pamela and Demetrius.
"Mr. Smith, please wait a moment. I'll have someone prepare the contract right away. Please wait!" Demetrius, excited by James' words, replied and then quickly ran towards the office.
"Mr. Smith, I'll go help prepare the contract too!"
Pamela hesitated for a moment and then left as well.
Donna, standing aside, widened her eyes, her face full of shock. She felt like she was dreaming; everything seemed so unreal.
She couldn't understand why Pamela and Demetrius believed James. After all, it was $1.05 billion!
Not to mention James, a poor student, even the richest person in Lumina City might not be able to come up with that much cash!
But at this moment, Pamela and Demetrius believed James without a doubt and were even helping him prepare the contract!
"James, do you really have the money to buy all these houses?"
Donna took a deep breath and asked James in surprise.
"Of course!" James, having nothing to hide, nodded at Donna.
"Where did you get so much money?" Donna asked James incredulously.
Even now, she still thought James was joking with everyone.
"Well, you don't need to know that. Just do me a favor later," James said casually, sitting on the sofa.
"What favor? You don't want to borrow money from me, do you? I don't have that much money..." Donna said softly to James.
James smiled and then explained softly, "Donna, don't worry. I have enough money to buy these houses. But for certain reasons, I can't put them under my name, so I need you to sign the contracts for me. Of course, I won't let you do this for nothing. I'll give you five of the houses as a reward. When I need them, you can transfer them back to me."
"James, stop joking, okay? This joke isn't funny at all!" Donna shouted at James, her expression agitated.
"I'm serious. If I didn't have the money to buy these houses, why would the sales manager believe me?" James explained helplessly.
"But even if you have the money, why put the houses under my name? Don't you know the transfer fees are high? Why not just use your own name?" Donna asked James, puzzled.
James smiled helplessly and said expressionlessly, "Donna, don't worry about the fees. That amount of money is nothing to me."
Donna was stunned by James' words.
...
On the other side, because James' order was so large, requiring many different procedures, almost all the employees in the sales office were busy with it.
As a result, the customers in the sales office were left unattended.
So Demetrius walked to the center of the hall and shouted to the customers, "Ladies and gentlemen, I'm very sorry, but our company's houses are sold out. We have no more available units, so please look for houses elsewhere!"
"What? Sold out?"
"There were many available units just now. How are they sold out in such a short time?"
"Yeah, they said there were many units just now. How is it even possible?"
Everyone was stunned by Demetrius' words and questioned him with displeasure.
"We paid a deposit. We shouldn't have to leave, right?" At this moment, a middle-aged woman dressed in jewels stepped forward and shouted to Demetrius.
"We will refund your deposit immediately. Anyone who hasn't paid in full can leave now!"
Demetrius, not in the mood to deal with these small mortgage customers, decided to sell all the houses to James, saving a lot of trouble.
"What? We paid the deposit, and now you're telling us the houses are gone? What's going on?" The middle-aged woman stepped forward and shouted excitedly.
"Yeah, when we paid the deposit, you said there were houses. How are they sold out now?" A middle-aged man next to the woman also shouted.
"I said we would refund your deposit, but the houses have all been bought. If you can pay the remaining amount in full right now, we can sell you the house," Demetrius said casually.
"Didn't you say we could pay the deposit first? Now you want full payment? Isn't this deceiving consumers?" A sexy woman stepped out of the crowd and shouted angrily at Demetrius.
James, hearing the voice, found it familiar and couldn't help but turn to look.
"Evelyn?"
James muttered to himself when he saw the woman's face.
The woman was none other than Evelyn, the girl James' roommate Paul had been pursuing.
