Wilson's phone kept ringing. It was Walter. He had called multiple times without giving up.
Before this, Wilson would have blocked his calls, but he was in a good mood today. He picked up the phone and answered the call.
Walter's anxious voice came from the other end of the phone, "Mr. Wilson, you can't do this to us. You will destroy my Walter Group."
"What, are you forcing me to invest now?" Wilson's tone was full of displeasure.
"No, Mr. Wilson, I didn't say that."
Wilson's lips curled up into a bloodthirsty sneer. "Mr. Walter, do you mean that I, Wilson, cannot make decisions on behalf of my own Group?"
"No, no, that's not what I meant." Walter hurriedly explained.
Wilson's tone was unforgiving. "So, you do know that I am in charge of every decision made by my Group?"
"Of course, of course!" Walter laughed sheepishly on the phone.
Wilson said coldly, "Since I am the decision-maker, then I'll be honest with you. I'm not optimistic about the future of the Walter Group. Then, what's wrong with withdrawing my investment? What, is it because my Group has been investing in Walter Group for a long time, you took our investment for granted? Even if we are in a losing position, we are obliged to invest in your company?"
"I don't need you to teach me how to invest."
"Of course, of course!" Walter maintained his smile although his tone was pleading. "Mr. Wilson, how about we discuss the return of investment? Regardless of the market situation, I'll give you a fixed rate of return with an increase of eight percent on the last year's return. If you are still concerned, you may reduce the sum of your investment in Williams Group. How about investing half as compared to last year? One billion dollars. What do you think?"
"One billion dollars?" Wilson raised his voice.
Walter immediately replied, "Yes, one billion. Mr. Wilson, what do you think? I'll increase the rate of return by ten percent on last year's return."
"Twenty percent!" Wilson narrowed his eyes. "Walter, you are playing a dangerous game with me!" He thought as a sneer appeared on his face.
