“Grandpa Nike, can I say something?”The entire Nike family was silent at the moment. Almost everyone wanted to hear what this good for nothing son-in-law wants to say.“Don't just waste my time.” Grandpa Nike was interested too, to know what Sebatian have to say.Sebastian firmly said, “I promise I can help the company in the appropriate way, you don't need to listen to Brian's request.”.This live-in son-in-law spoke with certainty. Could it be that he indeed can help the Nike company from crisis?Brian did not believe the promise Sebatian just made. He smiled coldly, and said, “How can you do that? You can't even help yourself, and you want to help others.”Sebastian stretched his hand and pointed to himself. He then said, “I have enough money in my possession that can take the company out of crisis.”At the moment, it was so shocking to everyone that they kept silent, and said nothing.But after some time…“You?” Cindy was surprised at first. She then held her belly, and broke in
While Brian was helplessly standing outside, grandpa Nike came out too, looking for him. With a very confused face, he said, “Brian, are you joking with the feelings of the Nike family? The cheque you gave us, I've just asked someone to check it. The cheque couldn't be cashed.”It is happening, the worst which he feared will happen has happened. Brian wasn't surprised to hear what grandpa Nike just told him. He was just surprised how quick things went against him.He has just gone bankrupt. Everything he owned has been frozen all of a sudden. He didn't know where else to hide from this catastrophe that has befallen him. In a thrice, he has just been pierced in the heart by William Prime.Grandpa Nike was really waiting for Brian's explanation on why the cheque cannot be cashed. As for the moment, Brian was quiet. He was obviously thinking of any believable lie to tell grandpa Nike.After a while, Brian smiled, and said, “Don't you worry Grandma Nike, it could be just a minor issue. I
Time was running out for the Nike family, as the company's crisis was still on their neck. The hope they once had from Brian had vanished in a flash. Grandpa Nike was totally deep in thought, another immediate alternative is what they seek or else, the company might be headed for doom. “What are we going to do next grandpa? We seriously need another solution.” Romy's hands were on his head, as he was also trying to think. “Maybe we should just ask other companies for help before things get out of hand.” “I would have said we take a huge amount of loan, but what if we end up not able to pay back?” “That's not a good idea if you asked me.” Suggestions of different kind were made, but none of them were preferred the best option. A company like the Nike company was probably big enough for such options that were made. Grandpa Nike came out of his deep thought, and said, “I think I heard one of you say we should meet other companies for help, right? “Yes Grandpa, I feel that is proba
Days have passed, and times have changed, but the situation at the Nike company remained unchanged. The day was closed for the presentation.It was the weekend, and Cindy was getting prepared for the presentation she had with the Prime Enterprise.She knew very well what was at stake, and the kind of enterprise she was going to present the project to. It was well known in the city of Lanchester how the Prime Enterprise was so strict in choosing the project in which to invest in.Everyone in the Nike company knew that if Cindy was able to pull this off, and thus get the two hundred million dollars needed by the company to end its crisis, then she'll surely not only cement her general manager position, but will also become prominent in the company too.For a while, the house was quiet, but not until a knock was heard at the door.“Who is it? A minute please.” Cindy walked with much pace with a glass of wine she was holding, to answer who was at the door.“Hello Cindy..” It was Sebastian
The day of the presentation came, Cindy was dressed in her charming way, she drove the BMW to Prime Enterprise with the most outstanding project of Nike company, even when she was a bit nervous.When she got to the Prime Enterprise, the person who responded to her was the General secretary, Abigail. “Hello, welcome to Prime Enterprise, how can we help you?”Cindy, who was wearing a smile, soon responded, “Thank you, please I would like to meet with the President.”“Oh, I'm so sorry the President is not on seat yet. But I can assure you he will be around later today. However, may I know the business you have for coming here today?”Cindy had a bad feeling. But she tried as hard as not to make the smile on her face varnish. “It's not really a big deal, I brought an outstanding project to present to him. I actually want the Enterprise to invest in this project.”“Hmm, that's a nice one you know. Abigail smiled. She took out a hardcover book, and handed it to Cindy. “Please, put in your
Cindy got to the Nike company, and went straight to the office of Grandpa Nike. She felt really humiliated today. She was still very furious in front of Grandpa Nike and Luis, she refused to even sit. What she faced at Prime Enterprise was never expected.Grandpa Nike stared at Cindy for sometime without saying anything to her. He saw her expression and couldn't help but think that something was definitely wrong.He said calmly as soon as he thought of this. “Cindy, please tell us. What was the result from the meeting with the President of Prime Enterprise?”Cindy couldn't respond to the question asked by grandpa Nike. She feared he might feel very disappointed with her, she was not even able to meet with the President of Prime Enterprise, talk more of a meeting.“Come on Cindy, have a seat and tell us what went wrong at the meeting today.” Luis inquired further as she was also curious to know what the outcome was.After a short while, Cindy then got a seat in the office, and sat down
It was the evening of another day. The entire Nike family was present for dinner, which involved William Prime. William Prime was so kind enough to honor the invitation given to him by Grandpa Nike. The members of the Nike family found it hard to believe that the Vice President of Prime Enterprise would honor their invitation. “Wow, I must confess you make nice and delicious delicacies here in this family. The food tasted so nice.” William Prime signed in satisfaction, he had no intention of hiding the taste of the food he had just eaten. In that instant, every member of the Nike family was extremely happy. William Prime was a man highly respected, and admired in the city of Lanchester. He was almost seen as a god by all. So the commendation he made based on the food, meant a whole lot to the entire Nike family. Grandpa Nike became much relaxed. He looked at William Prime with some sense of pride. He then said, “Thank you so much Chief Prime, I'm happy you enjoyed the meal. It
“Yes, he honored the invitation. I presented the project to him, and he said he liked it. He hasn't called yet to give us a feedback”Cindy was having a conversation with someone on the phone. But immediately hung up when she heard someone coming.Juliana, knocked and opened the office of Cindy. She went to submit a file based on the company's records for the week. The file was meant to be given to the general manager of the company every week.Cindy kept her phone carelessly on the table, as she picked up the file to confirm the records.“The record for Tuesday says it is incomplete, why?” Cindy was left in a state of bewilderment.Juliana, who was still on her feet, stretched out her finger, and pointed at a spot in the file. “Yes, this place says there was a change in staff member's position. That was the day you resumed as the general manager. So I think you left that place incomplete, not me, because it was your duty before it became mine.”The explanation Juliana gave got Cindy
