      I would’ve loved it even more if Mark replied
      “It’s also not your business Peter and you’ve declared yourself out! So your instruction isn’t necessary.
      However since I’m in an intimate relationship with the MD I know her equity ceiling”

  • @NotInAsia
    @NotInAsia 10 месяцев назад +35

    I actually think that guy was astute to just instantly take the offer. If they were willing to go up to that figure, there is no point beating around the bush. The reason is the deal has to be beneficial and attractive for both parties, and he wants Touker to be motivated. Also a lot of deals struck on the den actually end up not going through when it comes to the due diligence process if either side feels it's unworkable or won't be beneficial. So really if they are happy with him taking 40%, and it seems to be obvious that they were and had clearly spoken about it prior to the show, then there is really no point negotiating, it is better to just get the ball rolling.

    • @originalunoriginal4055
      @originalunoriginal4055 10 месяцев назад +1

      So are you saying that, they made a wrong decision? Or that they didn't think through about how taking the investment would impact their business, and what the effects would be in the future?
      Should they have declined the offer, or negotiated much more better and with much more finese.
