Life at The Top novel Chapter 268

After hearing what he said, Logan could not contain himself anymore.

“What bullsh*t are you going on about? Warren, you were the one who stirred up all these problems in the first place, and now you’re saying that you want to acquire our company. What do you take us for?! Let me tell you, there’s no way that that’ll happening!”

Dane sneered. “Young man, first of all, I don’t understand what you mean by ‘stirring up problems’. I have never done anything to Terizone. The hardships that you’re facing are all due to your own incapability,” he said.

“On the other hand, a wise man submits to his circumstances. Terizone is barely surviving right now. Is there still a need to continue struggling? Sena is giving you a way out by acquiring the company!”

Hudson glared at Dane. He was trying his best to control his fury. “We reject your acquisition. If this is the only thing you’re here for, please leave. We won’t see you on your way out,” he said stiffly.

Dane’s expression darkened. “Appreciate my act of kindness while I’m still offering it graciously. How long can Terizone persist under such circumstances?” He asked icily.

“As the leading portal among the four major portals, Sena has reached an agreement with Colossal Investments and is about to get listed. Once Sena becomes a public listed company, we will have a market value of at least several billion US Dollars.”

Dane then narrowed his eyes at Hudson. He continued rambling on haughtily, “What about Terizone? God knows when you guys will be able to get Terizone listed. If Sena wanted to crush you guys, it would be easier than stomping an ant to death.

“I’m giving you guys a chance right now, so you’d better appreciate my kindness. Once Sena gets listed, I won’t bother to look your way even if you guys stand before me asking for help!”

After speaking, Dane looked at Hudson with a proud, overbearing gaze.

He believed that anyone with a decent head on his shoulder would carefully consider what he had said.

“Mr. Warren.”

Jasper interjected abruptly. The calm tone attracted Dane’s attention.

“You’ve been talking for a long time, but I’m curious. How much do you intend to acquire Terizone for?”

Dane chuckled in response to Jasper’s question. “You’re a smart person, Mr. Laine. It’s no wonder that you have such a precise vision and decided to invest in Terizone so early in advance,” he said.

“Sena has prepared 20 million dollars for a full acquisition of Terizone.”

After that, Dane threw the agreement on the table. He seemed pretty full of himself.

It was the year 2000. How many millionaires were there in the country?

20 million dollars was a monumental price for the acquisition of a company like Terizone.

It meant that these few young men were about to become millionaires.

Jasper had previously invested 10 million into Terizone in return for 51% of the company’s stocks. This incident had largely boosted Terizone’s reputation. This was no secret.

Dane figured that Jasper could completely withdraw his investment within a few months. This deal was evidently a huge bargain.

“20 million is a large sum of money,” Jasper said, letting out an inward laugh.

Dane snickered. “Young man, you need to understand the circumstances that Terizone is currently facing. If you continue operating the company like this, how long can Terizone survive? It may even go bankrupt tomorrow,” he said contemptuously.

“When that day comes, your 10 million dollars will vanish into thin air. However, you can still withdraw your full investment right now. Shouldn’t you thank me for giving you this excellent opportunity?” he asked.

Jasper sighed. “My apologies, Mr. Warren. I’m someone who doesn’t act until I see the incentives. I’d rather lose everything than settle for a compromise,” he said.

“It’s just 10 million dollars. I can afford to lose that much.”

Dane’s expression darkened after hearing Jasper’s words.
