Richard handed the agreement he had brought to Jacob so he could sign it.
Jacob accepted the agreement. Before he had a chance to read it, Richard said, "The HD Group is already insolvent. I'm not going to ask what you did. It's a mess right now, and it'll take me a long time to restore it. I'm so unlucky. Too bad for me that you're my older brother. If it were someone else, I definitely won't help." Richard sighed.
Jacob held the agreement tightly, afraid that Richard would regret his decision. He knew very well that the current HD Group was truly a mess. He could no longer sustain it. It would be more than he could wish for if Richard was willing to take it over. Being the President was challenging. This position was a hot potato.
"You can't regret it. I'm going to transfer all my shares to you. I don't want to be the President anymore. You give me money. What happens to the HD Group in the future has nothing to do with me." Jacob dreamed on. If he gave all his shares to Richard in exchange for cash, he would be able to enjoy life.
As for the HD Group, it likely would not generate profit for a long time. He did not want to bother with it anymore. It would have nothing to do with him whether it was profitable or not. He would get money from Richard in exchange for his shares.
"Jacob, what am I going to do with your shares? You borrowed so much money out there. Your shares aren't enough for pledging. I still need to pay your debt. Where do you think I'm going to get that much money from?" Richard asked as he made a move that looked like he wanted to take back the agreement.
"No, no, no. You can just give me a bit of money for my shares. I don't want much. I'm going to sign this agreement. I won't be the President of the HD Group anymore, so don't come to me because of that mess anymore." Jacob held the agreement tightly.
He took a look at the agreement and felt that there was no problem with it. He gave the position of President of HD Group to Richard.
"I'm probably the most short-lived President. It hasn't even been three months, and I'm already in this predicament," Jacob said mockingly.
"I'm not fit to be the President. I couldn't do it before, and I thought it was because I was young. But I couldn't now either, which meant I'm truly not cut out for it."
"Jacob, don't be offended by my frankness. Although you have given up the position of the President of HD Group, you still own shares. You need to find speak with your lawyer to draft the equity transfer agreement before I can give you the money. I can't casually give you the money. I need to borrow money too. I don't have that much on hand," Richard said to Jacob.
"Richard, it's fine. Just give me a hundred million. I don't want anything else. A hundred million is enough for the rest of my life." At this time, Jacob hurriedly set a price for his shares.
Addy was a little anxious. She had to work hard so that her son could become the President. Grandma Carter's will was even her work. She did not expect her son to refuse the position just like this.
"Um Jacob, don't you want to think about it a bit more? Once you sign, you can't go back on it anymore," Addy reminded her son.
