Ten percent of the shares amounted to tens of billions, but when Silvia mentioned it, he didn't seem greedy at all. They had already calculated it. In fact, their losses during this time were not just tens of billions but hundreds of billions.
And this loss was just the current situation. If this continued, their losses would only increase. Even though they could eventually make up for these losses, no one wanted their family to suffer like this.
When the man heard Silvia's words, his expression changed instantly. No one had ever dared to ask him for so much money. But Silvia asked for ten percent of the shares, showing great courage.
"Do you know that no one has ever dared to ask me for so much money? Just because you brought it up doesn't mean I'll agree. You mentioning it just gave you a chance to speak. Whether I agree or not is my business."
Seeing him say this, Silvia wasn't surprised at all. He had already thought it through before coming. If he directly asked for ten percent of the shares, the man wouldn't agree. But their family wasn't unprepared.
In other words, asking for ten percent of the shares was just their bottom line. In fact, if they really wanted to argue about it, ten percent of the shares might not even compensate for their recent losses.
"I know you're not satisfied with our family now because my father used to consider us relatives. But other than that, there shouldn't be any problems between our families. And if we calculate, your family's company is not as good as ours. The reason I ask for so much money is because of the old relationship between our families. Even though it may seem like a lot, it can't make up for our recent losses."
As Silvia spoke, his smile widened with unmatched confidence. This confidence made the man uncomfortable. He couldn't stand seeing someone so smug, especially the daughter of his former rival.
"Your mother must have been blind to choose your father over me. If she had chosen me, none of this would have happened. Look, after giving birth to you, he just walked away. Now, as his daughter, you come to bother me. Do you know? If your father hadn't appeared back then, your mother should have married me. The things I'm doing now..."
"Alright, uncle, don't bring up the past. I'm not interested in what happened between you before. Regardless of whether my mother chose you or my father, at least for now, I think my mother's choice was correct. From the time this happened until now, my father had already figured out that it was you, but he never told us anything. Even though he knew, he didn't blame you, even when the company suffered such a big blow. From this, you can see the difference in character. My father was protecting you, but you're denying everything around you, including denying my mother."
If you really like someone, even if you can't have them, you wouldn't hold onto it forever. It's clear to see that he didn't actually like his mother that much. Rather than saying he didn't like her, it's more like he was dissatisfied. His mother chose his father, and now, looking at the current situation, their company is even better, which makes it even harder for this man to accept.
"I've said so much now, which might make you very uncomfortable, but the conditions I'm giving you now are the best for you. I've already considered you by coming here to negotiate. If you're unwilling to accept these conditions, then be prepared for my brother's revenge. Believe me, my brother's reprisals are something you won't want to face."
