Loving DAD 1108

“Dad, Gerard actually agreed to transfer twenty percent of his company’s shares to Sharon?” Rick’s tone was incredulous. “Back then, when we wanted to acquire just ten percent, he refused outright. He even brought up how he once helped Mom, trying to guilt us into backing off. But now, he’s selling twenty percent to Sharon without hesitation?”

Richard watched Gerard disappear down the corridor. “The Silverstone family’s willingness to sell to Sharon isn’t out of goodwill. They’ve simply taken notice of the cutting–edge tech companies she controls. Silverstone Group’s market value can’t compete with ours, but that twenty percent stake is still no small asset. Sharon doesn’t have that kind of liquidity. Eventually, she’ll have to come to us for help.”

Even the Kalen family, with assets worth billions, would need at least a year to free up that much capital for an acquisition. Their cash flow wasn’t as abundant as outsiders imagined.
