The manager, realizing that he couldn't continue like this anymore, with a guilty look, went to his cousin and explained that other rivals had launched a full-scale war on them. He claimed that despite trying, he alone couldn't confront all of them, they had to do something.
The man didn't doubt him. He was his cousin, after all, he had no reason to lie. Realizing the gravity of the situation, he became desperate. He tried everything to salvage it: new staff, marketing campaigns, slashing prices, but nothing worked.
He had already burned through most of his money. From $200 million, nearly $150 million had gone into this vanity project. He had barely a few million left.
So, with no other option left, as a last resort, he decided to sell.
But unexpectedly, he found that he couldn't, no buyer was willing to take on the mess.
Desperate, he slashed the price dramatically. Even then, no one stepped forward.
At least, not honestly.
