In any negotiation you haggle and then you final act is to walk away. We need to walk away from this one. What will the company do ? London will tell them their bluff was called and to settle so the biggest cashcow in the Swire machine can make money again.
Walk away.
You forgot to mention we actually did get an offer and we walked away from it. My impression is it did not serve us well.History books are full of tragic examples of failed deals. I strongly assume Louis XVI would have accepted concessions to the commoners on his way to the guillautine, and maybe a company called Excel would not walk away again from an offer to buy Google for 750k. Everytime you "walk away" you might fall from a cliff..
