I can just see how "negotiations" between Martha and Mc go...perhaps something like this ??:
Mc: So Geoff, watch ya thinkin about enos...pretty damn good device, huh ? Estape is even on video !
Martha: It is but we have a darn good one, too, in Hugo. Spent alot of money and thanks to our agreement, we made it much better !
Mc: Umm, Geoff - you are going to take a large stake in us very soon like you promised, right ? #PinkySwear
Martha: Well, let's just wait and see how HUGO sales go first - again our board wants to profit from that RAS science project - especially after what we sunk into it.
Mc: Speechless (as he looks at his Rolex)
Martha: Let's revisit things in late 2023 but thanks again for helping us with the cameras and instrumentation Dilly. My assistant will be back in touch with you in June/July 2023
Mc: Listens to dial tone as he cleans his rimless glasses (knowing nobody else out there has much interest)
#leverage
Question: Is Mc really gonna put himself and his shareholders in the exact same position soon ? Does he not learn from the past ? Just askin
Cataford, you there ?
