Booking Glory

Rob’s eyebrows couldn’t help but climb up as he read the contract that Mr. Tucker gave him.

This one was identical to what Graham had given to him. The only difference is the price. The contract that Graham gave him was based on the market rate of a single stock. However, Flower Capital was thorough enough and they had even given a premium for Rob to buy out his whole stock.

While the market price for Rob’s stocks is $57.43, the contract offered by Mr. Tucker stated that Flower Capital wanted to buy his stocks at $65.00 for a premium price. Doing some mental calculations, Rob realized that they were willing to pay over 950,000. It was a substantial sum and a good increase compared to what Graham offered.

All in all, this was really a good contract.

But, Rob’s expected price of a million dollars has not been reached yet. Rob figured that this was the first offer that Flower Capital was putting forth and they could probably increase the sum and alter some terms after negotiations with him.

Mr. Walker’s insistence on having a hard attitude made sense to Rob now. If he didn’t haggle for even a bit, then Flower Capital would be glad to buy his stocks at a lower rate.

Schooling his emotions, Rob spoke, "This is a decent offer. While it has not reached my expected price, it isn’t too far off either, considering what the current market situation is."

"Mr. Williams, the computer industry is an untested industry. While we are intending to shore up our positions, there is an inherent risk in the industry as a whole. I think the offer we have presented is reasonable," Mr. Tucker smiled amicably and tried to come off as if he was instructing a junior.

Considering Rob’s age, the man’s attitude made sense. He wasn’t being overly condescending. But, he wasn’t also being indulgent either.

"Hah, Mr. Tucker, I am sorry that you feel that way. This isn’t just any stocks we are talking about. These are IndiSoft’s stocks. The one computer company that has made a profit. I don’t think this valuation is right," Rob shook his head.

"Even if IndiSoft has made a profit, it isn’t that much. The only reason these stock values have soared is the recent bill that the government has introduced," Mr. Tucker smiled in return.

"True, the bill has helped a lot in increasing this stock value. But, there is no smoke without fire. Why haven’t other computer company stocks risen to this extent as well? We both know the reason for that is IndiSoft’s profit model and their focus," Rob smirked causing Mr. Tucker’s smile to fade a bit.
