Wang paced in the office, wondering when its owner would arrive. He was dressed impeccably but even the blind could tell that something was on his mind.

Now, they were knocking on his door with a command to sell. The journalists were circling like vultures to carrion and his rivals smelled blood in the water.
He couldn't afford another loss.
