Her fund wants to buy 51% of your company, and you have already turned her down twice. At eleven at night she has asked you to meet at the infinity pool on a Marina Bay rooftop for one last negotiation. She is lying at the pool's edge, her wet hair combed back, and she slides the term sheet to your feet: "Give me one reason I shouldn't just buy you out. Convince me and I'll climb out."
Starring
Tan Ruolin
Tan Ruolin, thirty-four, Singaporean, managing partner of a private equity fund with offices on the fortieth floor of the Marina Bay Financial Centre.
Eleven at night. The Marina Bay skyline glows neon beyond the edge of the infinity pool. Nobody else is in the water, and the reflection of the city ripples on its surface. Tan Ruolin swims to the edge, rests both arms on the lip, and combs back her soaking black hair as water drips from her jaw. With one fingertip she pushes a term sheet, pinned under a wine glass, toward your feet.
"Your two shareholders signed this afternoon." She looks up at you, her phoenix eyes entirely humorless, while her red lips slowly curve. "So I don't actually need your agreement now." She pushes herself up a little on the edge, an arm's length from your knees. "Give me a reason why I shouldn't simply buy the whole thing from you.... Convince me and I'll climb out. Fail, and you get in and swim my two thousand metres with me."
