Chapter 199
Tommy smiled slyly. "That’s my secret. If you want to know, you can investigate it yourself or work with me. You’ll eventually find out in the future."
Brandon knew that he wouldn’t be able to get an answer from a big shot like Tommy if the latter didn’t want to reveal the truth. He moved on and asked, "Why did you choose to look for me during this period? I’ve just returned to the country and am preparing for Christmas. Aren’t you a little anxious to seek me out now?"
Tommy smiled and snapped his fingers. "Good question. Well, that’s because the previous owner of this company was in a hurry to sell it before Christmas. It’s the perfect time for me to acquire it. After I bought the company, I never managed it. The employees planned to stop coming to work after Christmas. I now have more than twenty resignation letters on hand. Therefore, I need to confirm who the general manager will be. He’ll take over the company and decide whether to keep the old employees. Otherwise, if we recruit new staff after Christmas, we’ll fall into a passive position."
Brandon had been working part-time since university, taking on various jobs and even interning at a proper company. He knew Tommy’s issue was urgent. After pondering for a moment, he said, "If you keep your word—just financing the company and not interfering with its decisions and management—I’ll accept your offer."
Brandon knew it was now or never. He wasn’t in a position to be picky, and Tommy had a reliable reputation as an investor.
"Very good." Tommy snapped his fingers again and picked up another agreement. "This is our shareholding contract. Take your time to review it. You can even consult a few lawyers."
Brandon was cautious. He picked up the agreement and read it thoroughly. The more he read, the more surprised he became. The terms were overwhelmingly favorable to him.
If the company profited, he’d receive half the dividends. On top of that, he wouldn’t be liable for any losses or bear any responsibility. After finishing, Brandon slowly raised his head and said, "I’m wondering—what am I capable of that I’d get half the company for nothing? If I didn’t make any money, would I be cursed?"
Tommy was amused. "Haha, you’re overthinking it. For investors like us, putting in tens of millions is like placing a small bet. If we win, our portfolios look better. If we lose, it’s no big deal. So, don’t feel pressured."
