Ralph had lived for forty years, but had never eaten such a stifling and awkward meal.
Scarlett made him embarrassed, but she looked quite relaxed and ate contentedly.
Ralph glanced at Scarlett who was wiping her mouth. His face became even more sullen.
This woman was beautiful but had a sharp tongue.
Scarlett rinsed her mouth with water and then unhurriedly looked at the two people across the table who had finished dinner. "The food is good, Mr. James. II
Ralph's mouth twitched, but he suppressed his anger." Have you had enough?"
"Yes."
Scarlett smiled. "Sorry, I eat slowly. Now, let's get down to business."
She took the folder from Katherine's hand and handed it to Ralph. "Mr. James, I know of Rounjoy's situation. There have been many new toy stores in the past few years. The market is getting more and more competitive. However, Rounjoy didn't develop new products. That was why its sales have declined rapidly in the past two years. We also learned that it had something to do with another toy company that went public last year. It's called Little Genius. I think you should have known about it. Little Genius concentrates on creating new toys on its own. To put i t bluntly, Rounjoy is no match for Little Genius.
"Of course, though your company doesn't run well, it is already eight years old and well known in the children's toy market. Thus, we offer this price."
Scarlett held up three fingers.
"Three billion dollars?"
Ralph didn't expect that Mornet would offer a price of three billion dollars.
Scarlett's words were piercing, but he had to admit that it was exactly the current situation of Rounjoy.
