The short and stout gentleman couldn't help saying, "That's too much, Mr. Lance. If... two or three percent, we could accept that."
"You said yourself, the liquor market in Golden Port City is huge. Even two or three percent is a lot of money!"
Others kept nodding. Calculating based on a market size of two hundred million, two or three percent amounts to four to six million—over a year, it's not a small amount of money.
Lance shook his head, "That's not how it works. If I gave you two million now, could you find a senator from Congress to do something for me?"
"I am not negotiating with you, nor am I interested in discussing this figure with you. I am merely informing you of a fact you need to understand and be aware of."
"You can be dissatisfied with my pricing and choose not to bring liquor here, as long as it's not in Golden Port City, not on my turf. You can do as you please!"
