"As I said before, I don't want a merger. I want to buy their company." He reiterated to the men seating around the conference table.
It was already an hour since they started this board meeting, but they barely accomplished anything. He was getting frustrated with the other board members for pushing for the merger rather than a buy-out.
"I think what they are offering is a fair deal." Marcus insisted as he looked at the contract. "A merger would give us enough profit and fewer problems."
Although Marcus was also for acquiring the shipping company, he could see why the other board members were conservative in taking the plunge with Alexander's plans.
Buying the company was far too expensive and there was a very high chance that they would not be able to recover their investment. The owner was pushing for a hard bargain and the board was skeptical to gamble on such a large stake.
