"Mr. Franklin, we bought the land in Shallow Bay three years ago. Mr. Collins had planned to do something with it recently, but the location of Shallow Bay isn't very prosperous. We had discussed selling it at a board meeting, but now that Mr. Collins has suddenly passed away, we're not sure how to handle this land." George Thompson, the Vice Chairman of Collins Enterprises, said.
Another vice chairman of Collins Enterprises, Robert Harris, who was over fifty, gave George a stern look. "What are you saying? Mr. Collins bought this land at a high price back then, and he had already planned to do something with it recently. How can we sell it now? Are you implying that Mr. Franklin can't match Mr. Collins' foresight and won't be able to handle this land?"
"Yes, yes... I'm getting old, and my mind isn't as sharp. How could Mr. Franklin not handle this land? He's a genius in the business world!"
Anyone could see that George and Robert were playing good cop, bad cop.
