"I can offer you a 2 million Australian dollar loan, even an interest-free one," Arthur said, with a steady gaze toward the younger Bayer. Without waiting for a reply, he continued, "But I have two conditions.
First, to acquire 30% of your parent company's shares at market price, and at least 40% of the new subsidiary's shares.
Second, the subsidiary will operate independently in Australia, and without the permission of the Australasian Government, no business shall be moved out of Australasia."
For such an important chemical group, Arthur naturally did not want to see the Bayer Group's subsidiary leave Australasia in the future.
The best way is to ensure that the subsidiary operates as an independent enterprise from the start, and that Australasia holds a certain degree of influence within it.
