The thing he had his eye on was snatched up by someone else at the last moment, but Jiang Xiaobai was a reasonable person who would only negotiate with the seller to see if there's a way.
"Did he pay?"
The guide said: "That gentleman only has a verbal agreement with us and hasn't paid."
Jiang Xiaobai said: "So he hasn't paid a penny, nor signed the contract."
"Exactly." The guide said: "But he said he would sign the contract and pay within three days, so what we can do is give him three days. If he hasn't paid after three days, then he is the one breaching the contract, and by then we can sell island number 98 to you. If there are other islands you are interested in and you can sign and pay today, I can apply for a certain discount for you from my superiors."
Jiang Xiaobai waved his hand and said: "Forget it, I'm not interested in anything other than number 98."
