Can You Mend My Broken Heart?

Chapter 310: Raymond to the rescue - 2

310 Raymond to the rescue - 2

Shutting down his laptop, Mr. Takai looked at Raymond and said,

"Well I very much appreciate your dramatic entrance but that is not going to change anything Mr. Walker. The terms provided by your company don't seem to suit us. So I am sorry to say that this deal cannot happen".

"We are open for a bit of negotiation. We can be a bit flexible with the terms", Akira said and looked at Raymond all nervously. She needed their tech, so even thought it meant a couple million more as investment, she was ready for it.

"Its ok Akira. Let them go. There is no need to negotiate", Raymond said and then stood up and extended his hand towards Mr. Takai and said,

"It was a pleasure to meet you Mr. Takai. Maybe next time we will even have the pleasure of doing business with you".

Mr. Takai was a bit surprised with his audacity.

He knew that Delphie badly needed their tech and he also knew that there were no other company which could give the same tech and the too with the same quality as theirs. He thought that by putting pressure, he could bring them down for negotiation, but it looked like Raymond wasn't even one percent ready to back down.

So looking at Raymond he said,

"I think you should listen to the lady. I guess not being in the grid for so long has made your bussiness acumen a bit blunt I guess Mr. Raymond".

Raymond smiled and sat back on his seat and said,

"Well what you might consider as blunt is actually as sharp as a double precision sword," and saying that he smiled.

Making a sour face Mr. Takai replied,

"Unless there are negotiations, we are not ready to budge from our stance Mr. Raymond".

"I didn't ask you budge either, Mr. Takai. Feel free to leave the meeting room as per your convenience".

Somehow this statement didn't go well with Mr. Takai and getting all angry he said,

"I think this is your over confidence that is speaking Mr. Raymond. Maybe you should have cheked on the deal terms before speaking with us in this tone".

Saying that Mr. Takai and his team got up to leave the meeting room but just then Raymond spoke,

"This is not my over confidence, but rather my confidence that is speaking. Let me clarify why".

He turned towards Akira to give her a comforting look as he could clearly see that she was getting a bit nervous as he spoke.

"Delphie is going to give you 3% of it's profit margins, and assuming a minimum sale of 350, 000 copies in a month in just US market for the first beta version, we believe that your gains will be approximately 7.49 million USD. I am just talking about the US market".

"And then we have to launch it pan-asia, I mean the second beta version, which is going to give you an approximate of 37.2 million USD. And these are just based on minimum predictions. I guess if you would have continued to let my friend speak about it then you would have understood what you are loosing out on".

"Anyways, like you said, your tech is niche, but its not something that cannot be done by other companies. There are many small companies with tech better than yours, but they don't have the name in the market yet. We just need to hunt those companies down. Might take us a week or more, but as they will be ready to work on much lower rates, I think it should be worth the wait".

Then looking back at Akira he said,

"Now honey, what are you in mood for? Chinese or Thai?"
