After Jasmine left, Laurence called his layer, Duncan, to ask how much equity he had and how soon he could cash out. Duncan informed him that, at the present state of affairs, it would be a bad time to sell. He would not even get back what he’d personally invested. Laurence insisted though. He said, “I am broke right now and I need money. I trust you. Just do your best.”
Dustin sighed and said, “I will contact other shareholders who are invested already. They may be willing to buy at a slightly higher rate if only to keep random strangers out of their business and increase their control over the direction of the company.”
“Don’t sell them all though,” Laurence said. “I don’t want any single shareholder to have more stocks than I no. I have no wish to relinquish control of the company.”
