I will suggest if you do not fully understand the industry Pretz is in, it will be better to keep your shallow comments to yourself. Try googling freight trading / chartering to find out more.

I wonder this boss of yours, is he a employed manager or he owns this company.

If he is a salaried man, he is taking no ownership of the company fund and spending it irresponsibly on overpaying the staff. How can one ask the interviewee to add 20% to his existing pay followed by a 33% inclement before asking your existing salary?

If he owes this company, it will be extremely unusual for him to spend his money to overpay his staff unless he/she very sought after.
