Chapter 13: THE ULTIMATUM
"Great. I will hold your word to it. So what brought you here? "I deflected from the defensive stance Zeeb had made, hoping to divert his attention.
"As planned, the shareholders will be here in an hour. Based on the allocation of shares, two shareholders seem to be in a lot of debt: Declane Brooks and Boris Carter. But we need to give them an ultimatum about the sale of the shares. "
"How fast can we make an offer? I want you to buy the shares they have," I informed Zeeb.
"What?" He exclaimed in shock.
"Why the fuck would you? Are you surprised? If I attempted to buy the shares, they would label me as a bully. But if you buy the shares, it would show that you want to be part of Due Corporation’, ’ I explained.
"Lucian, you know my financial situation. Unless you give me five years, I will purchase the shares." Zeeb explained.
"Take it as a loan that I am giving you. This is a chance that you can’t afford to miss," I winked at him.
"Lucian, are you sure?" He pressed on.
"Fucking yes" I laughed.
"Okay. I will have the paperwork ready before the board meeting." He agreed.
"I will inform Ashina about our plan and have the funds ready for you," I winked at him.
