Is this guy for real, Wallis thought to himself referring to Evoleerf. He was struggling to control himself. He looked over at Adams who was busy scribbling away on his notepad.
"Ok...I have a proposal," Adams said as he finished writing and looked up. "We in the Mercantilist States have never heard of such a system, and wouldn't know where to begin. However, your government seems to adept at running it, thus...
"We will allow your government to appoint a representative to our Board of Directors and your nation will be given control over 50% of our interests within your nation. Consequently, you will be entitled to a share of our total annual profits equal to whatever percentage that makes up of our total assets. You will also have voting power on our Board of Directors.
"Said representative will be responsible, or responsible for appointing, someone to manage the assets of the Mercantilist Brewing Company in Llanydern, and will be based out of Aberystwyth. We will hire only domestic labor, and said representative can ensure that the 50% ownership, through shares or otherwise, is distributed equally to all workers who are hired. Additionally, we will rely on said representative to ensure the supply of Tanaga Weed, of which we will set the price based on worldwide supply and demand.
"However, we also reserve the right to sever this arrangement if it proves to be unprofitable."
Wallis, Defensor, and Jackson all looked at Adams speechless. Wallis, for one, had never heard of such an arrangement ever being attempted.
"As far as tobacco," Adams continued. "We can wait and see how this arrangement works out, and your government can decide from there whether or not to grant us an exception."
