Hoofstuk 5: Toivo en Viljo se moeilikheid

Toivo het in die donker kantoor rondgeloop en sy foon vasgehou. Viljo sit by die lessenaar en kyk na sy skootrekenaar. Hulle het gedink hul maatskappy was amper gebroke. Dit was 'n truuk deur Antti. Toivo was ontsteld.

"Viljo, dit is nie waar nie. Ons maatskappy was goed 'n maand gelede!"

Viljo het gesug, "Ek weet. Maar hierdie syfers sê ons is in die moeilikheid."

Toivo was desperaat. "Wat kan ons doen?"

Viljo het gesê: "Ek weet nie."

Antti het ingekom en gemaak of hy hartseer is. "Ek het die slegte nuus gehoor. Laat ek help deur jou aandele teen 'n lae prys te koop."

Toivo was hoopvol. "Goed, Antti."

Viljo het nie daarvan gehou nie, maar het ingestem. Hulle het vir Antti hul aandele gegee, nie geweet dat dit alles sy plan was nie.

Chapter 5: Toivo and Viljo's Trouble

Toivo walked around the dark office, holding his phone. Viljo sat at the desk, looking at his laptop. They thought their company was nearly broke. This was a trick by Antti. Toivo was upset.

"Viljo, this isn't true. Our company was fine a month ago!"

Viljo sighed, "I know. But these numbers say we're in trouble."

Toivo was desperate. "What can we do?"

Viljo said, "I don't know."

Antti came in and pretended to be sad. "I heard the bad news. Let me help by buying your shares for a low price."

Toivo was hopeful. "Okay, Antti."

Viljo didn't like it but agreed. They gave Antti their shares, not knowing it was all his plan.
