With an assertive hand motion, Gustav strikes out with his hand.

“I'm not going to find another candidate, nor step up as CEO myself. That
life no longer suits me. I love strategy more than everyday execution, which leads

me to my next question; are you interested?”

"Yes, I am” Birger answers resolutely. To be CEO for even longer than he
had planned for is great news, but for some reason he still maintains a light

frown upon his face.

Gustav clears his throat. He knows that Birger has lots of other things he
would like to spend his time on as, just like himself. Therefore, he hurries to add.

“I have planned, that you get a bonus for such a thing. Another 10 million
on top of your CEO salary package, so you’ll end up on a total of 40 million a year

for the next two years from now, if you say yes"

It takes 20 long seconds before Birger finally responds. "You know what,
I'm actually going to step down afterwards. I’ve had plans to stop my business

career once and for all, I see no reason at the moment to continue."

“Stop your business career?!” Gustav looks at him with surprise, “Very
well."

“Yes, why should I stay? I do not lack any finances, and I would like to
spend some more time with my wife and children. Getting back to drawing and

designing." Birger sends a big smirk after the last sentence, and for the first time

in the course of the conversation he laughs and says.
“Of course. I do not say no to 40 million a year and being the head of our

Southeast Asian expansion."
