THE BATTLEFIELD OF LOVE
Part 6's. Forgiveness
I went back to Michigan this time to talk about the deal he wanted. He wants a deal on opening a branch of the company, I guess. There are some businesses that stop in the US.
But even though I can't decide for myself, I have to consult with professionals who take care of each company.
"Mr Gillian." I greeted him first this time. We are just the two of us this time, the technical talks are over and we are now taking care of the deal on the amount of money and the shares we agreed on.
"Eliza, I'm so sorry." This time he called my name and offered his condolences. "The funeral is over?" Maybe he knew from Uncle David.
"Four days ago. Our family was prepared for the worst, only no one could be prepared for such a thing. Thank you for the time you gave me."
"It seems like Dad is very important to you."
"I followed him into the army because I admired him so much. Even though my mother defied me because I was a daughter, but no one could stop me from following in Dad's footsteps."
"Community of middle officers in the first two years. That's obviously very proud of your father." Turns out he knew that.
"Well, you seem to know a lot." I glanced at him while folding my hands in front of my chest.
"Someone did a good job of research." I laughed and she replied with a smile. I like his smile now. High officers who seem to have this economic degree are very charming.
"On me chopping down middle officers in two years, it's actually because I have privileges, including capable private teachers and education that I had before." How not, my father has prepared me since the beginning, physical training has even been running since I have not entered the academy.
"Yes I understand."
"Why did you get into the military?"
"Because of my father too."
"Oh it turns out your father was also a military man."
"Yes from the Navy." I'm glad he didn't hesitate to share a little about his background.
"It turns out our fathers are not all our idols."
"Yes.we have the same previllege as it seems." I wanted to tell her that I was happy to have a little something in common, but was afraid it was too 'close', so I didn't.
"Your mom's healthy?"
"He's a little sick, but he's a lot better than Dad." The conversation shifted a little at the beginning of the meeting. Maybe he wants to look sympathetic to the deal. I wonder what he wants as a deal.
"I can't give you 35% shares, only 30% approved." 30% is the approved minumum amount. Means I have a possible deal, but what he asked after.
"....and we want investment assistance in Alaska, to reopen the bankrupt canning industry there. Turning on these three big canning mills. In order for the fisherman there to work soon, here's a list of special incentives you'll get for the first two years."
Three factories, it is not a playful investment, we are engaged in this business, but there is already a facelitasnya, so we do not build from scratch, he said, although being left out 3-4 years must have been a lot of damage, I read the list of incentives, tax deductions, licensing facilities, this is designated as a government building, I have to pay rent assets other than taxes, he said, but after 15 years of operation I can have a 100% share of land assets by paying 75% of building prices.
They want to run the economy wheel immediately and do this.
"I have to pay 15 years' rent? It's 50% and I'm going forward to the investment board." I have to bargain of course, there is no way I can accept it raw without bidding on a deal.
"agree. You agree with 30%?" He agrees easily? It's a pleasant surprise.
"I agree, but we're the ultimate buyer who can't break his chain of requests that part can't change."
"We didn't change it."
Next the negotiations went well. We agreed on a few more things. Even though I can't say that it's done completely because of the investment, my brother has to approve as well. But the whole day went well.
"This. Thank you." Thank you." I returned the handkerchief she gave me.
"Ohh, you gave it back." She smiles. Maybe it was the genuine smile I found from him.
"You gave me a chance to get my father back, and to give me a chance to say goodbye to him, I think I owe you everything." I want to tell you how much I appreciate everything he did for me.
"I did what I thought was right to do."
"Yes, and I made a lot of mistakes with you." He smiled at my words.
"I've forgiven you for knowing your reasons."
How relieved I am because he said that. It feels like a lift.
"Then I'll see you later."
"We'll see you later." This time we parted ways with each other smiling Maybe next time I could see her again.
