“Give us the crate of beer and two men enligt of steak Gansth turned and
yelted at the chee
The owner immediately brought a crate of bear over
Max glanced at Gareth’s stout belly, which looked bloated with how much he had
been drinking
Gareth had had plenty to eat, but he wanted to discuss the collaborative project
Carlisle in detail
Carlisle turned to look at Wanda, who was busy popping peanuts into her mouth. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
He nodded and said, “Let’s have some more food!”
Gareth lit a cigarette and squinted as he said, “Carlisle, don’t you think you’re being little overconfident?”
He could afford to come up with 200 million, but no one could guarantee that the
project would be as successful as Carlisle said it would.
Any investor worth their salt would have to evaluate the risks involved.
Most investees liked to build castles in the sky, after all.
Gareth felt like Carlisle was making empty promises.
If he were to evaluate the risk, he would conclude that the risk was very high.
Carlisle looked up and smiled. “Gareth, if I wasn’t confident in this project, would you feel safe about investing in it?”
Gareth was stumped by the question.
He was suspicious of how confident Carlisle was, but he would be equally
suspicious if Carlisle weren’t very confident.
The conclusion was that no matter what, he would still be suspicious of Carlisle’s
project.
Gareth liked playing games, and he often stayed up the entire night to do so.
He had a rough understanding of games and knew that popular games brought in a lot of money because they had many players. Popular games would definitely have a handful of players playing the game in any random cybercafe one chose to visit.
After a moment’s silence, Gareth said, “Can we talk about the genre of the game?”
He would not agree to collaborate until he figured out what kind of game Carlisle was planning to create.
Carlisle shook his head, smiled, and said, “It’s a trade secret!”
At that moment, the owner served the steaks.
Gareth smiled and said, “Let’s eat the steak while it’s still warm!”
Wanda gave a handful of peeled peanuts to Carlisle. “Just eat these.”
Carlisle took the peanuts, feeling both touched and amused. He didn’t know that Wanda had been peeling them for him.
Wanda sat up straight and picked up her knife and fork. She began eating the steak, and it was so spicy that it made her stick out her tongue.
Carlisle poured her some soda and said rather worriedly, “You still need to take your medicine. Don’t eat too much spicy food!”
Wanda put a piece of steak on Carlisle’s plate, as if she was trying to shut him up.
He laughed exasperatedly.
What else could he do?
He had no choice but to indulge her.
Max suddenly spoke up. “Mr. Zahn, we haven’t even seen the proposal yet. How can we invest in it?”
Ultimately, they still did not trust Carlisle.
However, this was understandable.
Any other investor might have just banged the table and left in a huff.
Carlisle sighed. I’m just afraid that you’ll take my project as a reference and establish
your own!”
The truth was that he did trust Gareth.
Max, however, was a sly old devil.
Carlisle had realized that the first time that they crossed paths at the moat.
Max laughed in amusement and put down his knife and fork. “We’ve been eating steak together for the entire night. Don’t we trust each other at least a little?”
Carlisle sighed in resignation. “Max, you have double standards. You and Mr. Spencer don’t trust me very
h either!”
Max’s expression darkened noticeably.
