“Do you have an official buyout proposal?” he asks, getting right down to business
It’s no secret I want to sell The Ja part of my life for the past eleven years, but with al The Wicked Horse under my belt, I know this is all I want to do It’s the next phase ofanother And who knows, maybe in ten or fifteen years, I’ll start another
But Kynan is the only one I’d trust to take over the business and keep it within the exacting standards I’ve set He knoant out and I’ve slated him to be the one, but he had no clue my timeline would be this fast I’m sure he felt I’d stay in another five years or so, which is why I’ this so casually
“I’ve worked up an official proposal andit now,” I tell Kynan
“Without even knohat you’re going to need,” Kynan says as we continue walking side by side while pulling our hand carts “I can tell you right now I don’t have the type ofto want to buy you out”
Here’s the thing about private security
It’s expensive
Whether we’re protecting a rock star on tour, rescuing a kidnap victi so top secret we could land in jail and the govern reason why I created the company rather than stay in the military for my kicks The Jameson Group has over fifty special operatives around the world and another hundred security professionals While the professional security services for the wealthy and elite provide the bread and butter froovern bucks I personally haven’t netted less than threesure everyone else is paid very, very well and all expenses covered
While I haven’t lived frugally, I’ve saved most of it, and I really don’t have to work another day in my life if I don’t want to But I’olf all the time, so I’ll always be in business one way or the other
“I’ve had the business appraised,” I tell Kynan as we approach the green “It came in around twenty-two million”
“I definitely cannot afford that,” Kynan says gruffly
“Relax,” I tell him as I set my cart and pull out a club “That’s the value over your lifetime But I want out now and you’re the only one I trust, so I’m prepared to take seven million Put dohatever you can and I’ll finance the rest by you keeping me on the payroll as a consultant”
