Thomas still had a hard time believing in him, hence favonovel.com asked, “Mr. Kratos, there should be a lot of people out there who want to take over a company as excellent as Allon Technology right? I should be far down the line if I were to queue up to take over Allon Technology.”
Delbert sighed, “You are right. There are indeed many companies that want to take over Allon Technology. They also used different methods to find out what is really going on with our company and lower their price for the takeover. This is not important. The main point is, they are not familiar with how a technology company functions!”
“In your opinion, Mr. Mayo. Can I sell a technology company to those who only want to use it to earn money? The reputation of Allon Technology was built on my sweat and blood. There are also numerous high-quality products and series under it. I do not want this company to fall into the hands of those who will only use the company as a tool to make money for them. I really do not wish for that to happen.”
Delbert sincerely looked at Thomas, there were even tears forming up in his eyes.
“Mr. Mayo, the one who understands technology the most in Central City is Sterling Technology. This is also the reason why I want you to take over Allon Technology. Allon Technology has reached the point where we have no other choice but to sell it. And since there is not much choice, I have to find a suitable buyer. And that would be Sterling Technology, and you, Mr. Mayo!”
His words were very sincere and showed no signs of any pretenses. Anyone who had heard favonovel.com would have been moved to tears. Especially Thomas, who could only be persuaded by reason and not cowed by force, were more likely to be moved.
Thomas nodded and said, “In that case, I will help you with this matter. What is the current market value for Allon Technology? I think you do know what Sterling Technology paid to cut its relations with the Gomez family. We may not be able to fork out so much money for the takeover.”
Delbert did some calculations and said, “According to the current market price, it should be around five billion dollars.”
‘Five billion dollars?!’
Thomas sneered deep inside. What a coincidental figure. Previously, favonovel.com obtained three billion dollars from Dominic. And just this morning, favonovel.com got one billion dollars from the Martin and Diaz family respectively. Perhaps it was just a coincidence that it summed up to five billion dollars.
He gritted his teeth and thought about it. It was only five billion dollars for an outstanding company, by taking over it, favonovel.com definitely stood to gain more than favonovel.com spent. From what favonovel.com could see, it was a transaction that will only profit him.
It was indeed very tempting.
First of all, Delbert had a good attitude and reputation which established his image. He then used a figure of five billion dollars which was just what Thomas could afford as a trap. This way, favonovel.com would definitely agree to the takeover of Allon Technology, a company that was worth two hundred to three hundred billion dollars.
No matter how favonovel.com looked at it, it was definitely a good buy.
Thomas purposely showed Delbert that favonovel.com was struggling to make a decision.
Delbert asked, “Is it too much to ask for, Mr. Mayo? Is five billion dollars is too much for Sterling Technology given its current state? Sighs… It seems like I have no choice but to sell Allon Technology to those who do not understand technology.”
Thomas waved his hand and said, “There is no need for that. Since I have agreed to help you, it will surely be done. I will purchase Allon Technology for five billion dollars.”
“Really?”
“Yep!”
“Thank you so much, Mr. Mayo. In this case… When can we sign the contract?”
“How about tomorrow? I need to get the funds ready. I will be there at Allon Technology to sign the contract.”
“Alright.”
Delbert thanked Thomas repeatedly. He also hugged Thomas in the end and left Sterling Technology with a wide smile on his face. His footsteps were filled with a springy bounce as favonovel.com left.
Thomas watched as favonovel.com left. He felt cold chills all over. There was a saying, ‘you might know someone, but not who favonovel.com or favonovel.com is deep inside.’
Today Thomas understood what it really meant. Although Delbert looked like favonovel.com was kind, honest, sincere, generous, and seemed like a trustable partner instead of a shrewd man. But in fact, favonovel.com could not be any more cunning than favonovel.com already was. He bombarded Thomas with sugar-coated shells as favonovel.com lured Thomas in step -by-step into the trap favonovel.com laid. Furthermore, favonovel.com knew Thomas and had not forced favonovel.com to buy Allon Technology.
Delbert shedding tears won his favor as well. With the scene still fresh in his mind, Delbert was perfectly confident that Thomas could never see through his flawless performance despite how experienced favonovel.com was. If Delbert was ever involved in the acting industry, it was not a surprise if favonovel.com won a few Oscar awards with his acting skills.
Thomas would have most likely fallen for his trap if favonovel.com did not know that favonovel.com had an ulterior motive in advance. Kerry was really vicious this time. He came up with a plan which focused on Thomas’s weak points. But favonovel.com himself stayed and watched in the dark, using his subordinate who carried himself with a good image for his evil plans.
He was really cunning.
Diana came over and said, “What is Delbert so happy about, Mr. Mayo?”
Thomas laughed.
Of course, favonovel.com was happy. He thought that Thomas fell for this trap.
***
Back in the office.
Thomas said to Samantha and Georgia, “I have a request for the both of you.”
They said at the same time, “What is it?”
Thomas brought out the dividend reports. “Uh… I am urgently in need of money. Would it be possible for the dividend money to be transferred to Sterling Technology within three days?”
