As Fritz told you, The Food Chain
is interested in acquiring Country Baby.
1:33:05
You've discovered an untapped market,
something we all know is tough to do.
1:33:10
However, we truly feel that you've taken
this thing just about as far as you can.
1:33:15
You work with an inexperienced staff in
a factory too small for your product load.
1:33:20
You're burdened with a severely
handicapped distribution apparatus.
1:33:24
What we'd like to do
is help you change all of that.
1:33:27
We'd like to see Country Baby
on every supermarket shelf in America.
1:33:31
- Mm-hm.
- JC, we all realise that...
1:33:34
...you may still be
harbouring some ill will.
1:33:37
In fact, Hughes suggested
we even bow out of these negotiations...
1:33:41
...but I assured him
you were a big girl now...
1:33:44
...and what happened between us
is water under the bridge.
1:33:47
Oh, well, it's water under the bridge
depending on how good your offer is.
1:33:57
I told you she'd play hardball!
1:34:00
I learned it from you, Fritz!
1:34:04
Well, thanks.
1:34:07
JC, shall we look at the proposal now?
1:34:18
The Food Chain will acquire
Country Baby Inc for $3 million, cash.
1:34:27
Mm-hm.
1:34:28
In order to take some day-to-day
responsibilities off your shoulders...
1:34:32
...we'd like to move your base to Cleveland
so our people can oversee production.
1:34:37
"Country Baby: Home-made
in Cleveland"? I don't think so.
1:34:42
That point is negotiable.
1:34:45
Naturally, we'd like to retain your services
as Chief Operating Officer...
1:34:49
...with a base salary of $350,000 a year...
1:34:52
...with a bonus tied into the company's
earnings of up to 150% of your salary.
1:34:58
Which means, young lady, that if
Country Baby performs as expected...
