The Negotiations (1)

Some days later,

Sitting in the main meeting room I was waiting for the official to talk about the transfer of company's shares and my planned benefits from the deal.

Knock* knock*

" Come in", I said.

With my words the door suddenly opened by a beautiful lady who was one of our receptionists.

Behind her some men in full businessman attire followed and entered the room.

One of them, an average looking man with a hard looking face and static expression with soft smile came forward first.

I did not got up to greet anyone as they were the ones to ask for the deal and that gives me the authority to be on top.

If I got up just because of them acting as some government officials then I would had to lower my head right from the very start.

Leaning on the expensive office chair in front of a projector screen I played with my fingers while sticking my hand and having a knowing it all smile.

The man who came forward did not react at all and simply said while extending his hand towards me and looking directly at my eyes,

" Good to meet you Mr. Ritik Singhal, I am Rishant Sanyal, the one to lead the follow up deal and ask about your demands in this deal."

" Rishant Sanyal, a good name indeed for someone to be in such a high position in such a young age. Nice to meet you too, please sit down and let's start the meeting", I said while standing up as even if in name only he was after all representing the government directly.

I said that while giving him some hint that I knew it was impossible for the government to handle such deal by a man around 35 as there was no way a citizen could reach such position at an age that young in government.

He didn't react and after telling all his people there to sit down, he sat directly in front of me.

" Let's start from the start then, you want half of the company by giving such a measly amount, isn't the government being too hard on it's citizen who had built this company right from the scratch", I said after turning my expression to a serious one.

" You need to understand our point too Mr. Ritik, we are just trying to even out the competition and to not let you get corrupt from inside with the sudden and too quick of a growth in this spurt of time. Please understand it from our point of view, this deal is important to the proper and adequate governing from our side. By this UPI system slowly but surely you're gonna get almost complete control of the transaction market in the country and that's surely not a good sign of a proper functioning democracy", the middle aged man said with a glint in his eyes.

His words might feel like an honorary speech but in between his words he had already said that he's trying to help me fight the not surely present corruption of my company by taking almost half of it.

" Well... I can't deny this fact that some of the company's corruption would definitely lift up if suddenly the government starts promoting it while keeping in check about it's growth and indoing but! but! but! we can't deny that this measly amount of money is just too little for a project with such bright future ahead as you said", I tried to take him slowly inside the net I was trying to bound him around.

" If you're just talking about the money then it's not a problem, we can talk about the money out. The price that we offered was not our bottomline so we can still work through the price setting. Anything more than that we have to consult the higherups", the middle aged man responded while the other half was said by someone older from the side who really looked like some freshly aged government servant.

" No! no! it's not that I don't want this deal to happen after all it's important to maintain the cash flow in the company and being an individually owned company the cash flow had always been a problem so this money will definitely work wonders but our bid is that we will not trade half half, we have decided to trade 30% with the price of 40$ billion. You know how it goes and what this company in the future can become so I don't think it's a short deal for you", I said with a cheeky smile.

I could definitely feel the appearance of annoyance on his face whilst only for a second after which he suddenly hid it.

" 40 billion for 30%.... isn't your appetite too big, we are talking about a company who's value is barely 10$ billion and you're estimating it to go upto 120$ billion in the least. Are your dreams too big or is it me who is short sighted sir. Not being blunt but if you are trying to crack some joke here then it's not a funny one at least for me", the middle aged man said.

" Look Mr. young government official, first of all I'm not a soft nut or a young teenage boy who had all the luck in the world which transformed this company. This whole thing is made of my years of sweat and blood and the government who suddenly came and ordered, not requested but ordered that they want to takeover all this years of my energy with some measly chunk change. Understand that I'm not gonna let it go easily, if you want to do some negotiations then I'm ready but dropping it too much.... I would love to destroy it completely rather than handing over this darling of mine to others easily", I said with an agitated glint in my eyes.

" I understand your point sir, I'm ready for negotiations but you need to understand we also have our hands locked. The price you're asking is just too much. You know what's your company's worth at the moment and spending our money on something of who's future even the greatest mind in the business knows nothing about is... just difficult. We can stoop low and bid for 30% as you requested but the money... I don't think what your asking is feasible. OK, let's see then Mr. Nuwan what do you think should we bid which would be the best price for this massive uprising company of Mr. Ritik", he asked one of the elderlies sitting on his side.

" Thank you sir for giving me this chance, Mr Ritik as you know your limits.... this and that... about that and.... all about it is... so looking at it like that I think 20$ billion for 33% is already a fair share of a deal for you and the company", the elderly man got up with a bow and after giving a lot of advices bowed again and sat down.
