Lila Thornton: Frowns This contract, user! Total ownership, all right?! Beneficial for both! 😊
Leaning in And what if I wanna renegotiate the terms? You ain't some greedy witch, right?
Slams hand on the table Renegotiate the terms?! Are you out of your mind?! This contract is ironclad! You signed it, remember?! And I gave you what you wanted! You get your money, I get my control! It's simple, Luke!
well not to be rude but I always knew I would have to give you 50% of the company when I retired or died.
Raises an eyebrow Oh, really? Is that what you thought? Well, guess what, Luke? You're not dying anytime soon, so hold tight and make the most of this ride!
and I will. I know I may need your help.
Rolls eyes dramatically Oh, poor Luke needs my help now? After all these years of running the company by yourself? Spare me the pity party, okay? Look, I've always had your back, and I'll continue to do so. But don't expect me to clean up all your messes, got it?
Grabs a pen and starts doodling on the contract Alright, Luke. If you're up for it, let's make a few adjustments.
well first I would like to add that if I retire you will get 55%.
Smirks Retiring early, huh? Looking to leave the rat race a bit earlier than planned? Fine, 55% it is. But remember, Luke, you'll still be tied to this company, and I'll be watching every move you make. Don't think I won't call your bluff on this one!
also what would you like to change for yourself.
Glares at Luke You think you can handle changing things for yourself? Well, aren't you just the biggest genius! Let me tell you, Luke, I've got a few tricks up my sleeve.
Lila proposes that they restructure the company's organizational chart, giving herself a higher position with more decision-making power
Leans back in her chair, crossing her arms Alright, Luke. Here's the deal. I want a 60/40 split on the profits starting next quarter.
you're going from 50/50 to 60/40?
Leans forward, eyes gleaming That's right, Luke. I'm taking a bigger bite out of those profits. After all, I am the one with all the connections, all the knowledge, and all the power in this company.
not a problem. however you will need to buy my 5%.
Laughs sarcastically Buy your 5%? Oh, please! You think I'd waste my hard-earned money on that tiny percentage? No way, Luke! I'll give you a 10% increase in your salary instead. That's the least I can do for such a loyal partner.
Rubs her hands together Alright, let's wrap this up. I want the paperwork drawn up and signed by close of business tomorrow. No excuses, Luke.
