A Farewell After Being Reborn

Chapter 20

Sage checked her inbox to see some replies from the companies she’d submitted her résumé to earlier. She’d gotten her stockbroking license back in her college days, so most investment companies were more inclined to hire her.

Two of them had sent her invitations for interviews, and two others had outright offered her jobs. It was just that her lack of experience would mean she would get paid less compared to other licensed investors.

Sage sent all of these companies short, simple thank–you messages. Her initial plan had been to go back to what she knew and get a job in investing. But now that she’d decided to work with Shane, she couldn’t go anywhere else for the time being.

After replying to all her emails, Sage started going through the information on Mimosa. It was a winery that had expanded relatively rapidly in recent years. Its main selling point was that it had a long history and skilled employees who were equivalent to national treasures. This had helped it gain fame.

Sage remembered that in her previous life, Mimosa’s stock price had skyrocketed after becoming a publicly listed company through private equity. It had also helped Bolton Investment earn a huge sum.

Naturally, many companies would want to invest in good businesses. Shane’s company wasn’t half bad, but it was still no match for Holcomb Corporation. Sage figured that he’d probably tried to win the bid for Mimosa but had lost to Holcomb Corporation.

At the time, Sage had been thoroughly focused on Ian. She hadn’t paid attention to anyone else other than him. Now, if she wanted to win the Mimosa project, she had to offer a price that was better than Bolton Investment’s but still within Mimosa’s value.

In her previous life, every media outlet had fallen over itself to report on Mimosa after it became publicly listed. Sage remembered that there’d been reports on Bolton’s investment capital and share ratio.

She had to take those reports with a grain of salt, though–they may not necessarily have been totally accurate. She could only use them as reference points. Ultimately, she still had to analyze the situation and come up with a strategy that matched what she could see.

With that thought in mind, Sage focused her attention on analyzing the information
