I Breathe Euro

"Yeah, no," Jack smiled and said.

"Ten billion," Albert said; he was kind of desperate to have this deal.

" Nope," Jack shook his head.

"How much do you want?" Albert asked again. His face looked frustrated.

"20 billion euros, and 5% royalty for perpetuity," Jack demanded. He asked for whatever Pfizer would sell; he wanted 5% of the whole sale.

"Boy, you're being greedy." Pfizer's chairman knew the value of the drug, but he also knew a royalty deal is a no-no.

"Well, am I?" Jack, saying this, sat down, and then he looked at Heinrich and smiled.

" Albert, the boy is right, He is not being greedy, look at what he invented " Heinrich chimed in, he was behaving a little confidently as Jack was his partner now, so he had to give him a push.

Albert, who was behaving cocky now, knew if Jack went outside and sold it in an auction or a bigger hidden research lab, he'll easily get what he wants.

" Heinrich, You're my friend, As a friend, you have called me from Berlin. I flew personally. Give me some leeway; the amount this boy is demanding is sigh! I've got to put this in board first; the board will want some proof too. You know how it works." Albert this time looked to Heinrich; his cockiness was nowhere to be seen; he was almost pleading.

"Jack, consider him; he flew here just by my words." Heinrich also looked at Jack; he was actually using his hand to show Jack his four fingers.

I hope the brat gets the idea and closes the deal at four billion.

Jack, seeing the four, thought it would take forty billion to make the island complete.

"Alright, look, Albert, was it? There are a total of 50-60 million people who need this thing, and the cost of each dose is around 0.5 €, so I know you'll be making a profit. I will sign the deal at forty billion €. That's my final price. Jack said he looked calm and threw the dice in Albert's court.

Heinrich was nodding at Jack's words until he heard forty billion euros; he was shocked to hear such a price.

Boy, I thought I gestured for four billion; you'll just miss the deal, sigh!

"Deal." Albert suddenly got up from his seat and extended his hand towards Jack to shake hands.

Jack stood up happily and shook Albert's hand; both parties smiled sheepishly.

"You can't sell it to other companies, nor can you make the drug for your own company," Albert said while shaking Jack's hand.

Jack nodded his head; he didn't need to actually; he has tons of such drug recipes.

"Alright, let me call the advocate," Albert said, and then he went outside the cabin to call; his personal assistant came rushing as soon as he left the room.

"Brat, You got a huge deal. The whole island will take around 20 billion more. I am estimating the island my friend said he has; if you go and buy a bigger one, the cost will only increase. Heinrich said he was actually happy for Jack; if Jack is safe, then he and his family will be safe.

"I understand, but what about you? Are you going to live on the island as well?" Jack was unsure of Heinrich's motive or what Heinrich wanted from him.

"Yes, I'll take only 4000 SFT; I'll build a duplex or three-story building in there. Don't worry; I'll pay for the building and give you a billion." Heinrich added he was actually a very calculative person.

"If I am paying 24 billion to build it, do you think I will need one billion from you?" Jack, rolling his eyes, asked.

"You're like my son..." Heinrich said, as he was about to say more bullshit, Jack showed him his hand.

"Don't bullshit me." Jack said Jack could believe a lion won't eat a deer even if you give it, but Heinrich won't do anything without profit.

"Boy, with you I'll be safe. You'll also need manpower to utilize the whole facility. I'll be providing the whole thing for you," Heinrich said.

"Alright, but don't build your villa in the middle of the island," Jack said; he had to give this old guy a place; Yana would get angry at him.

"My advocate will be here after lunch; let's go eat some food." Albert returned with his personal assistant in tow; he was happy.

"Alright, let's go," Heinrich said while standing up.

"Okay." Jack also nodded, although he was not hungry; he had to accompany these two old men.

After the trio went down, there were about hundreds of executive-level officers bowing here and there.

The lineup of the cars was actually dangerous; there were three open Jeeps in the front, three limousines, twenty-something bikes, and cops were surrounding the whole area.

As it was Heinrich's home ground, he needed a little security, but this security was for Albert; he was a foreigner and a very important guest for the country at that.

The trio ate dinner with the American ambassador, who invited them into his home.

After eating and knowing each other, the trio came back to the office once again.

The advocate was waiting at the reception in front of Heinrich's office on the top floor.

Sir," "the advocate stood up as soon as he saw the two chairmen and a prince-looking young man.

"Come inside," Albert said, and then they sat down on the couch.

Albert and Jack made a draft that both of them liked and signed.

The first payment was of ten billion; Jack didn't take the payment; the whole thing was given to Heinrich's account instead.

"Alright, With the next payment, I'll take the recipe from you," Albert said; he was actually eager to make this drug and research and make more from it.

"Sure, but I'll be taking thirty billion first and give you the whole recipe," Jack said.

"Sure, tomorrow I'll be going back, but after 2-3 days I'll send you the whole payment. I hope you'll send me the recipe," Albert said; he arranged a meeting of the board members.
