Chapter 18: The Table
Colby did not look at me when I sat down.
He looked at the water pitcher, and the water pitcher did not help him.
The lanyard on his chest said CONSULTANT, in someone else's company colors.
Beside him sat a gray-haired man in a fleece vest, the partner of the fund, who gave me a nod.
I took the empty chair across from them and set a single notebook on the table.
No binder.
The chair of the board opened the meeting with one rap of her knuckles.
"The fund goes first," she said. "Ten minutes. Mr. Sargent."
Colby stood and straightened his tie.
He gave a good ten minutes.
He walked the directors through my slides, with the fund's logo stamped over my charts, and he said "our eleven hours" six times and "our model" twice.
I counted.
"We value Calder at twenty-one dollars," he said. "We're prepared to offer seventeen, a fair price given the execution risk, and we're prepared to close this week."
He sat down.
He looked, for the first time since I walked in, directly at me.
It was the old look, bright and sure, the look of a man who had never lost a room.
