As predicted, Aaron's meetings with the investment bankers in Monaco went perfectly. Why wouldn't they? He used the exact same offer he had in his first life. The terms were too good to refuse and they would benefit both parties equally in the long run.
He spent almost a week gathering the intel he needed while Cameron participated in the tournament. This trip wasn't for enjoyment. Aaron spent every waking moment he wasn't schmoozing businessmen preparing his proposal.
He highly doubted the board wouldn't approve but he had a contingency plan for that. He had signed all of the paperwork making the deals as an individual, not in the name of the company.
On the off chance the proposal was rejected, it would be a separate side business he could run that wasn't affiliated with Hale Investments. He could incorporate it later when he became the CEO. Alistair didn't have to know that part.
