Chapter 398
Stanley and George were completely dumbfounded. They even wondered if they had misheard. Unless Larry and Blade had suddenly turned into idiots within one night?
Larry pondered for a while before deliberately explaining, “Severin is right. These in my hands are truly like hot potatoes, so giving it to the Shanahans is the best possible option. Furthermore, he and I are good brothers. He had even treated my mother before. Money isn’t too important to me, so this is settled. What do you all think?”
Looking at Catharine’s baffled expression, Larry felt that his excuse was still rather weak. He thought about it for a while before adding, “Of course, we’re not giving it to you just for free!”
Catharine came to her senses upon hearing that. Turns out there were conditions involved!
She immediately asked, “Master Larry, what are your conditions? Tell me!”
“From now onward, every year you need to hand in a financial report to us and split thirty. percent of the profits with us. You can’t tell anyone about this. You’ll be managing the business, but we’ll get thirty percent of the profits. I think this is a good deal!” Larry said with
a smile.
“No problem!” Catharine immediately agreed to it. The businesses were worth too much. They only needed to share thirty percent of the profits. This meant that they received seventy percent of the profits out of thin air! It was almost free!
Even if the Shanahans received thirty percent of the profits, it would be already a great deal, let alone receiving seventy percent!
“Haha! Then, it’s a deal!” Larry chuckled and secretly praised himself for his quick wit. To him, it did not matter, after all, it was all Severin’s. Giving the business to the Shanahans was the same as giving it to Severin. At least, that way, if the Ballards found out about it, they would not do anything to them.
Moreover, if they were to hold onto the businesses, even if the Ballards did not come looking. for trouble, they would still have to hand over some of the businesses as a peace offering. It would be much better to give them to the Shanahans.
“Miss Diane, why don’t you send your men to handle the takeover? Other than the few businesses that we wanted to keep, the rest will be handed over to you! I’ll get Blade to pass on my instructions for you all to take over!”
“Okay! Sure! Don’t worry! We will manage it properly and make it even more profitable!” Diane nodded delightedly.
She thought for a while before saying, “Master Larry if you’re free tonight, why don’t you join. us for dinner as a celebration of our collaboration!”
Larry pondered for a while before politely declining. “In this current situation, I don’t think it’s appropriate. If news got out that we were dining together to talk business, it would be bad! Let’s do it another day!”
