In the end, the Board of Directors decided to invest 7 million.
Originally, Sebastian Carter was relieved, but the amount was cut in half, agreeing to invest only 5 million. Later, with the lobbying efforts of Felicity Collins, Oliver Hoffman, and Mike's representatives, as well as Helen Blair, the final amount of 7 million was approved. The process was like haggling in a market.
For Helen Blair, it was natural to strive for the maximum amount. Of course, even if Sebastian Carter didn't want to invest, it wouldn't be difficult for her to help Red Star by secretly lending them the money.
