Half-the-Harbor Langdon smiled and said, “Is there a third condition?”

Dugg nodded and said, “There is one more thing. You must provide an insurance contract to all small and medium-sized banks that cooperate with Layman Investment Bank to ensure that they can survive this subprime mortgage crisis.”

The third condition made Half-the Harbor Langdon frown slightly, which was also the first time there was any change in his expression.

Soon, after making sure that Dugg did not have any more conditions, Half-the Harbor Langdon spoke.

However, he did not directly oppose these conditions. Instead, he said, “I want to know what I can get after meeting your requirements.”

Dugg immediately replied, “40% of

Layman Investment Bank.”

“That’s it?” Half-the-Harbor Langdon asked.

“Of course. Didn’t you come because of Layman Investment Bank? Even at 40%, you are already the largest single shareholder, and you can declare that you own Layman Investment Bank,” Dugg said.

“Mr. Dugg, first of all, you have to understand that if I take out so much money, what I want is to control Layman Investment Bank. Therefore, if I’m only going to less than 51% of shares, then we can end the discussion now.

“Secondly, the seats on the board of directors can only be divided according to the distribution of equity, but I can personally assure you that after the success of this merger, you will still be chairman so you and your team will not face the risk of being laid off.
