Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 48

Penny frowned as she asked, "You're really here to invest in our company?"

Samuel chuckled as he replied, "Of course! What else could we possibly be here for?"

Still suspicious, her tone was wary as she questioned, "How much are you planning on investing and what are the conditions?"

A booming laugh escaped the man's lips. "I've always liked doing business with people as straightforward as you. Not a moment is wasted."

"I've done my research on your company. You want to complete the shopping mall project at Asiatic. Taking into account the advance payment and other expenditures, you will need at least five hundred million. You should know that five hundred million is not exactly a small number, but neither is it an amount that the Smith family can't afford."

Penny was visibly taken aback at his words. "You want to invest five hundred million in us?"

Samuel grinned. "Yup."

Five hundred million was exactly the amount that Cross Corporation had needed for the project. If Samuel really was serious about investing in them now, it would be some much-needed funds.

However, she knew that the Smiths would never be so kind as to help her in her hours of need.

Staring at him, she spoke her next words carefully, "How very generous of you, Mr. Smith. But maybe we should discuss your terms first; I'm worried that I might not be able to accept them."

"Smart girl. My terms are simple. I want ninety percent of the profits and all of your staff in the Finance Department to be replaced with mine.”

Glaring at him furiously, she spat, "That's just ridiculous!"

The man's reply was calm, "I'm leaving you ten percent of the profits, aren't I?"
