Marry hesitated for a mont. "Well, our families have a long-standing relationship. If he ca to , it ans he really has no other way."
"Alright, let try and see if I can help you solve this problem."
"William, I know you’re doing this for . You really don’t have to force yourself." She was touched, holding my hand. "He knows this too. It’s not really about the money."
"Don’t worry. I have a plan." I patted her hand. "When have you ever seen show off?"
She gave a look. "If you didn’t show off, would you get hurt?"
I scratched my head. "Anyway, let’s make a call first. At least we need to give it a try. If it doesn’t work out, at least we have tried our best."
After that, I walked to the side and dialed Frank’s number. Although it would be more direct to contact Gary, in this situation, it was better to reach out to Frank.
Gary, concerned about his reputation, might agree reluctantly, leaving no room for negotiation. Contacting Frank would leave so room for negotiation.
Soon, the call was answered. "Frank, are you busy?"
"Not really, William, what’s up?"
"Well, I..." I explained the situation. "I just wanted to ask if it’s convenient on your end. If not, it’s okay. I just ask for help."
After a mont of contemplation on the other end of the phone, Frank said. "Three production lines? This is a bit tricky. Let call my dad. Hold on."
Before I could respond, he hung up.
I lit a cigarette and waited. Before I could finish the cigarette, Frank called back. "William, how well do you know the person you’re helping?"
I told him the truth, and he said, "If that’s the case, then this matter is easy. I can help with the three production lines, but there will be a fifteen percent premium on each line!"
I nodded. "I’ll go ask if she agrees."
As I approached, Marry hurried over, asking. "What did they say?"
I sighed deliberately, and her face changed. "Did they refuse? It’s as I expected. It’s okay, we did our best..."
"Who said they refused? They agreed!"
"What?" She couldn’t believe it!
"I said they agreed!"
Before she could respond, she kissed on the lips. "William, you’s amazing!"
At that mont, Marry held my hand. "William, don’t leave yet!"
"Mr. Gonzalez, you’ve misunderstood William!" Marry said seriously. "It’s a good thing not many people are looking over here. By the way, won’t you be using up your favors?"
"Not necessarily!" I smiled and told her about the conversation I had just had. Marry breathed a sigh of relief. "With the premium acquisition, everyone benefits. But Mr. Gonzalez will have to pay a price this ti."
"But he will agree. Only you have such a strong relationship. The Allen Family wouldn’t even bother if it weren’t for you!"
"If I make this happen, will there be a reward?" I asked.
"Of course!" She playfully gave a look. "Let go negotiate so benefits for you first!"
She led over with that. At that mont, Mr. Gonzalez was very anxious. Many people ca to talk to him, but he was distracted.
At the sight of us, his face lit up, and he quickly walked over. "Marry, what’s the news?"
Marry smiled, "He agreed!"
"What?" Mr. Gonzalez was ecstatic. "Did I hear that right?"
"You heard right!" Marry said. "But this matter is not that simple!"
"I know it’s difficult, but it’s okay. Give his information. I’ll contact him now. Whether it works out or not, I owe you a favor."
"No need for contact information."
"What? If not, then how do I reach him?" Mr. Gonzalez said. "Are you kidding ?"
She laughed, "Mr. Gonzalez, the person you’re looking for is right in front of you!"
"You?" He pointed at Marry.
Marry shook her head, and he looked at . "Could it be..."
"That’s right. I’m the one who helped Edward with the production line!" I said with a smile.
Mr. Gonzalez was dumbfounded. "Marry, are you kidding ?"
"If you don’t believe it, you can call Edward." Marry chuckled.
Mr. Gonzalez put aside his doubts and looked at in disbelief. "Is it really you?"
"It’s really !" I added.
"Mr. Gonzalez, it’s really him!"
Marry said, "If it weren’t for William’s help, Edward would still be in a bind."
Hearing this, Mr. Gonzalez put away his disbelief and beca sowhat strange. "But when you ntioned making a call earlier..."
"For such a big matter, how could I answer for William?"
Marry said, "William has already inquired. Three production lines are no problem, and delivery is within half a month. But you have to pay a fifteen percent premium for the acquisition!"
"What? Fifteen percent!"
"Yes, Mr. Gonzalez, after all, it’s cutting in line. If other production lines are delayed, there will be penalties to pay." I said with a smile.
"I still find it hard to believe." He said, "You’re just too young. Among the young officials in Sevan City, I’ve never heard of soone like you!"
He thought I was an official.
I shook my head. "Mr. Gonzalez, whether I’m an official doesn’t matter. What’s important is whether you’re willing to pay the premium."
"As for the fifteen percent premium, do you know how much one production line costs? Two hundred million dollars! Three lines an I have to pay an extra nearly hundred million dollars!" Mr. Gonzalez frowned. "Even if you want a commission, isn’t this too harsh?"
’What? He thought I took a commission from the middle?’ I couldn’t believe his imagination.
I couldn’t help but laugh. "Since you said so, I declined the offer over there."
After saying that, I walked away.
"He didn’t earn a penny from this. He only helped because of my reputation. The reason why Edward didn’t tell you is because he didn’t want to exhaust his favors." Marry said.
"Three production lines, not to ntion Sevan City, may not even be found dostically. Otherwise, Edward wouldn’t have to rack his brains for just one production line. You should understand how difficult this matter is!" Marry added.
Mr. Gonzalez felt a bit embarrassed when he heard this, imdiately lowering his posture. "William, I’m straightforward and impulsive. Please don’t mind!"
I wanted to facilitate this matter and help out, but agreeing in such haste made feel uncomfortable!
I thought, ’Damn, I help out of goodwill without taking a penny. How dare you still question ? If you were so capable, why not find connections yourself?’
I didn’t say anything or leave either. Marry quickly said, "William, calm down. Mr. Gonzalez didn’t an it. If you helped Mr. Gonzalez, he wouldn’t mistreat you."
