He wanted to sell shares in the company to the general public.
My friend believed it was best to strike while the iron is hot.
He wanted to take action at the best time possible and not wait.
He offered me a ballpark estimate of the amount he would pay to buy my company.
But I knew his uneducated guess was low. My company was worth much more.
He asked his bean counter to crunch the numbers.
That is, he asked his accountant to take a close look at the finances of my company and decide how much it was worth. Then my friend increased his offer.
My friend's official offer was finally given to me in black and white.
It was written on paper and more than I ever dreamed.
I was finally able to get a break. I made a huge profit on my company.
And my friend also got a bang for the buck. He got a successful business for the money he spent.
