Chapter 41 - the offer i refused

A major corporation offered to acquire us.
The number was enormous.
This time, I didn't feel threatened.
I studied the offer calmly.
The buyer wanted to preserve our management structure.
But they wanted control over the employee trust.
That was unacceptable.
I rejected the offer.
The board supported me.
Afterward, Marcus asked:
“Was it hard?”
“No.”
“Why?”
“Because now I know exactly what we are protecting.”
He smiled.
The company wasn't just a collection of buildings and accounts.
It was the system we had built after the old one failed.

That was worth more than the purchase price.
