Chapter 106
“What is it?” Luna asked eagerly
“You can actually buy our reserved machines. You should know that we usually have reserved units for large machinery, but those are not for sale. Since you are eager to use them, I can consider selling them to you.”
Houser sounded sincere as if he was trying to help Luna solve her problem.
Reserved units?
Luna had no other options left, so she asked, “How much are the reserved units?”
“50 million,” Houser named the price indifferently.
“50 million?!” Luna’s eyes widened, and her lips twitched when she heard the price.
That was an arm and a leg!
The price that Fatty Frank had gotten earlier in the day was the regular price, which was only ten million.
However, Houser asked for 50 million for his reserved units. That was five times more expensive than the original price! It was not just double; it was quintuple!
He raised the price because she needed it, and it was over–demanding!
“What do you say, Ms. Crestfall?” Houser sounded cheerful.
Upset, Luna angrily said, “It’s fine. Your reserved machines are too sophisticated. Our company won’t be able to use them. If you can’t deliver the machines we ordered in time, we will proceed with the refund.”
“Alright!” Houser agreed swiftly, which surprised her.
“But…” he chuckled and added, “Ms. Crestfall, it’s difficult to get the same machines in the market, and based on what I know, no one in Sumeria other than us is selling the same machines.”
He was trying to blackmail and threaten Luna.
Luna grunted coldly. “You don’t have to worry about that.”
She hung up the phone.
Then, she called every heavy machinery company in Sumeria to ask for the same model, but as Houser said, the other companies were not selling what she was looking for.
She found herself in a difficult position.
If it was not for Mayor Freely, the company would have gone bankrupt, but because of
various problems, the Valiant Institute project that the mayor had awarded her was being delayed again and again.
If they could not meet the deadline, they might not be able to provide an explanation to Mayor Freely.
Luna was pestered by the problem for the entire day, but she could not come up with a solution. She even brought the problem back to her house at Dream’s Waterfront at night.
Andrius came back and he saw her sour look. He asked, “Still can’t figure out a way to deal with the machines?”
Luna nodded feebly without saying a word. She did not hope for Andrius to have a way around the situation.
Andrius did not say anything else either. He would rather take action than speak empty words.
He returned to his room and called Noir. “Noir, contact the nearest military factory and tell them to produce the machines suitable for the Valiant Institute project. I want them to be completed tonight and delivered to Sumeria before sunrise tomorrow.”
Noir noticed the severity of the problem, so he answered, “Alright, Andy. I’m on it.”
A military factory was considered the most sophisticated production plant in the country, and it had no problem producing commercial machines.
After giving the order, Andrius hung up the phone.
At the same time in a restaurant, Solomon and Houser were having a drink over dinner.
“Houser, I have to thank you for this.”
Solomon had heard what happened from Houser and learned that Luna had requested a
refund.
He also knew that Luna searched everywhere in Sumeria and was unable to find the same machinery, so he was more delighted than before.
