Chapter 5

  • On Zink Computer’s website, she viewed pictures of executives, Ms white who had remarried almost a hundred times, Mr. Kowalski who has properties all over Europe but has almost sold them off to fund his big man billionaire status. The Zink directors all lead a shady lifestyle and Jasmine wondered how they managed to get to the top. Soon she was dozing on her desk in her study as she had already finished her preparations.
  • The next day, the executives of Brownlinks were all waiting patiently for her. Inwardly, she knew most of them were unhappy seeing her in the CEO’s seat. They had all wanted Jude Waner as CEO. Many had disliked her for no reason since she worked as Chief
  • Operations Officer. They all felt she was just a lucky Bitch whose father was rich.
  • “Good morning everybody” she greeted and they all mumbled grudgingly in reply.
  • “Miss Grant, we are anticipating your strategy for tomorrow’s deal. We are expecting to hear from you as you have not said anything worthwhile in previous conferences. We honestly hope you have a plan as we would not want to weigh the option of voting you out for inefficiency” Mr Baron savage said, his eyes hiding his dislike.
  • “thank you for your honesty, Mr Grant. If I am correct, executives from Zink Computers should be expecting us in an hour. I know you are all anxious to hear my plans and I will not waste your time further. According to my findings, Zink computers by their depleting Stock power and declining finances are heading for total bankruptcy in no time. Generally, they have lost a considerable amount in stocks. This was kept secret from the public because by mysterious means they have doctored their profit declarations somehow, and have sacrificed a large chunk of their capital to settle shareholders. Gentlemen, I know you do not believe in hear-says, so, I hereby tender my proof. Lisa, please show them the charts”
  • The board was dumbfounded, the room was as silent as the graveyard. Many of them thought could only be done by some genius.
  • “So how do these matter in the negotiations?” a man asked.
  • “Good question Mr. Scot, I figured it out yesterday we could show them the charts, and ask them to take our offer or they lose out totally. According to basic finance theories, it is unlikely that they would come out of their financial cesspool. We could pay them $10 billion, and $16 billion in Shares. So they would be having a stake and also smile to their banks” she explained and a thunderous round of applause erupted, circulating the entire room. Jasmine was emotional, she could see it, there was a long stare from the board members, not of hatred this time, but of deep respect and trust. Like her father, they knew she could take the company to greater heights.
  • Soon the board members were in the company’s helicopters, and as they flew, Jasmine’s heartbeat with uncertainty. She knew she had designed a perfect plan, but she still feared something might go all wrong and there would be an end to the negotiations and she would be disappointed. She rarely prayed, but this time, she said a silent prayer to the one up in the sky, wondering if he would answer her after she had avoided him for years.
  • The journey to the headquarters of Zink group was to Jasmine faster than it should be, though they had spent almost two straight hours in the air. Fear overtook her as she hugged the board members and executives of Zink. She almost ran back from the elevator and felt nausea as the ascent began.
  • The meeting started and negotiations began, Members of the board of Zink computers looked like children who had been caught stealing a jar of cookies from the store when the charts were shown to them. And they were all too pleased to hear the price Jasmine was offering them. The deal was sealed and the negotiations ended. Jasmine addressed the Press in a brief conference and minutes later, there were pictures and videos all over the press and the internet with amazing captions: World’s youngest CEO buys Computer Manufacturing Conglomerate, Jasmine Grant purchases Zink Computers, Genius CEO seals Zink deal.
  • The flight home took longer than expected, jasmine called her father on Skype and gave him the news teary-eyed, if he was pleased, he did not show it. Next, she called Josh, but he did not answer his calls. She texted him on Hi-chat but he ignored her texts. Jasmine felt neglected, she was sad and dejected. She worshipped and adored Josh and he took her for granted. She had apologized for not going along with him to “The Gazers” and they had made love that day. She felt they were good again until this moment. She knew there were other girls around him, but she had played dumb and stupid so he would not accuse her of being “A fucking Nag, insecure bitch and paranoid pig”
  • When she got to her office, she quickly concluded her duties and left the office, ready to go home. She suddenly felt the need to snack on something, her anxiety about the deal had stalled her desire to eat, she quickly ordered pizza from Mcdonald’s and waited the usual 10 minutes and then she got her pizza. Relieving the memories from the negotiations, she ate her food laughing inwardly, she had succeeded in getting the majority of the board to her side, and they had deified her now, like they did her father. She wished she could take a vacation to Maui island now but there was a lot to be done now, she would see to the operations of the manufacturing of the computers, plan designs of new products, and commission of finished ones. She took hold of her purse and went towards the elevator.
