That is because he showed Abdul a green nylon sock filled with hundred dollar bills. He had enough money to build a school. Abdul says that tomorrow they will bargain for all the resources needed to build the school.

I think Abdul wants to bargain because Greg only has a certain amount of money. He can't use it on resources that are expensive so he will bargain for them. And I think Abdul is Islam so maybe it's part of his culture and his background.
