Life at The Top novel Chapter 70

Not to mention the price of a server, they had not even been able to afford to pay their own salaries for the past few months.

If they did not earn anything in the short term, Terizone could only go bankrupt.

Terizone was currently going through its toughest time.

Plenty of investors had approached them due to KK, which had the largest number of users in the country. However, they were either greedy in terms of their demands or pessimistic toward Terizone’s future development.

In short, they just could not agree on anything.

Hudson was eager to obtain an investment. He had even thought of selling KK. His ideal sum was a million dollars, but the only boss who was interested only offered up to a maximum of 800,000 dollars. A disagreement thus occurred due to the difference of 200,000 dollars.

This would become a major joke in the future. That boss missed out on the opportunity to invest in a trillion-dollar company just because he could not bear to pay an extra 200,000 dollars.

“Yes, I intend to invest ten million dollars.” Jasper threw out a shocking statement in a calm tone.

“Huff! Cough!” Logan choked on a mouthful of food and instantly spat it out.

His spit landed on Cameron, who was seated opposite of him. However, Cameron did not bother to go after Logan for spitting on him as well. His eyes widened. “How much did you say?! Ten million dollars?!” he asked in utter disbelief.

It felt as if Jasper had just pulled out a royal flush in front of them while all they had were pairs of threes. (TN: royal flush and pairs of threes refer to cards dealt in a game of poker. A royal flush is the highest hand in poker.)

Unlike Zaine and the others, Hudson did not show such an exaggerated response toward Jasper’s proposal. Instead of excitement, worry overcame him when he heard about the sum of money Jasper would like to invest.

Based on Terizone’s current net worth, ten million dollars was enough to buy two to three companies of the same net worth. The fact that Jasper was willing to offer such a large sum of investment meant that he really looked highly upon Terizone. On the other hand, this meant that… Hudson’s ownership and rights to Terizone would likely be relinquished.

This went against Hudson Moore’s basic principles.

When a company received an injection of capital from an outside party, the founders would not be able to develop the company according to their own ideas. Would this brainchild of theirs still belong to them?
