Once a very interesting incident happened when apple company needed nearby land to enlarge its building and that land was owned by a simple family. The cost of the land was just $6,000, but the owners were not interested in selling it, but Apple wanted the land at any cost to enlarge its building. Hearing this refusal from their side, Apple made a proposal in front of the owners that you can decide the price of this land as per your wish. After hearing such a good offer, the owners decided to sell the land and fixed its price at $1.7 million. That means $1.7 million for $6,000 of land, which seemed to be a huge loss for Apple. But despite such a huge amount, Apple accepted the deal and bought the land for $1.7 million.

The whole incident belongs from rural North Carolina where a couple, Donnie and Kathy lived, who owned this land. The couple was living in their tiny home for 34 years in the town of Maiden. This single-story house was standing on less than one acre of land that they had purchased for $6,000, where Apple wanted to build their $1billion facility. Initially, the couple was not interested in the deal, as they rejected Apple's first and second offers. But the third offer that apple made, they could not refuse it and agreed to sell the property for $1.7 million.
