Life at The Top novel Chapter 1844

Now that the bigwigs on both sides had reached an agreement on the core conditions of the negotiation, the negotiation could be said to be successful.

There were bound to be many details in such a large merger that needed to be negotiated, but this would not longer affect the overall situation anymore.

Hence, the atmosphere that followed was very enthusiastic.

Both of their senior management teams immediately held a celebration party. They were holding wine glasses while chatting and laughing.

Kayden found his father, Half-the Harbor Langdon, after some socializing. Then, he said in a low voice, “Dad, is that i t?”

Half-the-Harbor Langdon said flatly, “W e can’t afford to delay it, and Layman also lost patience. If we still didn’t reach a deal this time, they were likely to have started contacting others.”

Kayden nodded and said, “That’s true.

The spy I planted next to Henry came back

and told me that the Laws were ready to

accept Layman’s terms.”

With a smile, Half-the-Harbor Langdon

said, “This is the reason why there’s the

rule of first come, first serve. While the

Laws were still hesitating, we have

already taken over Layman.”

As he was saying of this, Half-the-Harbor

Langdon patted Kayden on the shoulder

and said, “This acquisition is basically a

gamble using all our assets. Therefore,

there must not be any slip-ups. By the

way, has a deal been reached in terms of

the funding?”

Kayden nodded solemnly and said, “It’s

settled, we can mortage our assets in

Harbor City and abroad with banks in

various countries. After adding our own

liquid funds, it’s enough to complete this

acquisition.”

He let out a sigh of relief. Even a character

like Half-the-Harbor Langdon was

feeling a little excited at this moment. He

whispered, “This is the most important step for us to move from Harbor City out into the world. I will eventually prove to everyone that the stupidest thing they can do in business is to care for relationships and emotions.”

At this moment, Dugg came over with a wine glass in his hand.

“My friend, a toast to celebrate ?” Dugg lifted his glass at Half-the-Harbor Langdon and said with a smile.

Half-the-Harbor Langdon recomposed himself and clinked his glass with Dugg’s. Then they took a sip.

Half-the-Harbor Langdon smiled and said, “Mr. Dugg, I hope that after the acquisition is completed, you and your team can still stay in the investment bank. This is also the promise I made to you at the beginning.”

Dugg shook his head and said, “No, I changed my mind. I am tired and I have been working for so many years. I think I should spend some time with my family and children now.”
