Alex was sitting before two middle-aged men while they were in deep thought. Alex was in no hurry as he was drinking coffee with his lawyer Ethan Crane.

     The two men names are James Sinegal and Jeffrey Brotman. In his timeline they were the founders of Costco, the second largest retailer in the world.Costco focuses on selling products at low prices, often at very high volume. These goods are usually bulk-packaged and marketed primarily to large families and businesses.

      Alex figured that since the recession is effecting the people they want products with low cost and the established companies won't decrease prices that easily. In normal circumstances people will prefer the branded goods but in these desperate times they will look for low cost products. So, he's going to provide them that. But he can't oversee the business part ,so that's why he need these two . He was offering them 10% of the company each on the condition that they have to sell it back to him if in the future they leave the company.

     "Alex 10% is kinda low." James mumbled with hesitation.

     Alex smiled in amusement "How much do you expect?"

     James and Jeff saw each other and Jeff responded "Each 20%"

     Alex shook his head and said "James, Jeff, nobody sane will agree to that. 13% is my final offer."
