All afternoon, Ned was in the chairman's office at Harrington & Co. International, going over the preliminary analysis report with his father. The two of them had some differences of opinion on the report, but they were working through them patiently.
"The four target companies differ significantly in innovation capability, debt ratios, and R&D direction. Have the tech team and finance team each send separate people to dig deeper," Jonathan said. He still felt the analysis wasn't thorough enough.

His father is the top official at the Department of Commerce; he should be able to get some insider information," Ned replied. His instincts matched his father's; something felt off about the market research team's work.
