“No… No.” Even Bonnie herself was montarily at a loss for words. Although foreigners may not be familiar with the phrase “there’s sothing queer in the wind,” the aning was certainly clear. This was too abnormal; conventional negotiations involved driving the price lower, yet here was Mr. Lewis simply increasing it.
“Mr. Lewis, what’s going on?” asked David Lancaster, albeit sowhat nonplussed. Given his position and status, it seed inappropriate to be asking this question. The seller volunteering to bump up the price – was such a thing even possible in this world? But for so reason, David felt that his question
was justified.
“Nothing much. 500 billion federal coins for the factory and the engineers, a total of 600 billion federal coins. Are you selling or not?” said Finn Lewis calmly.
“In that case… I hope our cooperation will be pleasant.” David was the first to stand up and extend his hand towards Finn Lewis.
“I hope so too.” Finn Lewis reached out his hand and shook David’s, then he imdiately asked, “Can we sign the contract now?”
“Of course.” David quickly nodded his head. Selling for not only the anticipated 450 million but an unexpected additional 50 million federal coins was better than he had expected. Therefore, the sooner the contract was signed, the better.
“Right, but I have a requirent. There’s definitely going to be a press conference, correct?” Finn Lewis asked directly.
Puzzled, David nodded in agreent. “Very well, you can ntion that a Fla Nation citizen purchased this brand. However, you cannot disclose any information about . Can you do that? I would like this point to be written into the contract. If you deliberately disclose any of my information, you will have to compensate with a loss of a billion federal coins. Of course, I’m not asking for too much; at least within a year’s ti, you cannot reveal information about my purchase of this brand.”
Although Finn’s demands were sowhat peculiar and the penalty for violation of the contract was rather high, business confidentiality clauses were commonplace. After David pondered montarily, he readily agreed to incorporate the new condition into the contract. Subsequently, both parties promptly signed. After the contract was finalized, David suggested a celebratory banquet. However, Finn rejected it outright and instead walked up to Bonnie. Then he switched to German and directly said, “I’ve never been one for tough talk, because I believe it is the behavior of the weak. But today, I have to tell you sothing: I will rember today.”
Upon hearing Finn’s German, everyone present was taken aback. Then the expressions on their faces gradually turned peculiar, and they instinctively looked at Bonnie. Everyone had heard Bonnie insulting Finn in German just monts before. They were shocked to find out that Finn himself was fluent in German as well. Besides, it was evident from the German Finn spoke that he was very skilled!
At that mont, every person there could feel an invisible pressure coming from Finn. No one dared to belittle him any longer.
Without waiting for any reaction from the HyperCraft team, Finn directly took Truman Dale and others away. As they left HyperCraft’s headquarters, Truman couldn’t help but speak up, “Sir… what just happened?”
“Truman, rember this – only when one’s own strength is formidable will one not be bullied in this world. One day, I will buy this place. Do you believe it?” Without giving Truman a chance to respond, Finn pointed towards the HyperCraft headquarters and asked the question.
Truman’s face was full of shock, and he didn’t know what to say for a mont.
This… wasn’t sothing that could happen just because you wanted it to… Besides, HyperCraft would need to agree to sell! However, the confidence written all over Finn’s face left Truman in a daze.
“Now, leave the factory matters to you. I hope that tomorrow I can hold a eting for the most important group of engineers at the factory. Can you arrange it?” After Finn finished speaking, he briskly changed the topic. So things were better kept secret, but Finn rembered what happened that day! Hypercraft, eh?
“Yes, leave it to ,” responded Truman promptly.
“Good, I don’t care what thod you use. The engineers probably know that HyperCraft sold the factory and may not be willing to work under us. You don’t need to worry about the salary issue. The only thing you need to worry about is making sure none of them leave before I get to hold the eting tomorrow. Can you do that?” Finn Lewis asked.
“Yes!” Truman nodded quickly. It wasn’t a difficult task. Even if the engineers didn’t want to leave HyperCraft and wanted to go back, they certainly would have ti to wait for one day to et the new boss.
HyperCraft’s factory was not located in Stuggart but in Kilron, a famous industrial city in Achievent Country. However, Achievent Country wasn’t that big, so it wouldn’t take too long to get from one city to the other. Right now, Finn valued the factory the most. Once he had the factory and its engineers, he would be able to assemble his first car.
After passing the rest of the matters to Truman Dale, Finn imdiately flew to Kilron. The next day, in the factory’s main conference room, Finn t with all the engineers and workers. There were fewer workers than Finn had anticipated, and indeed, the whole factory wasn’t that large. After all, this was a handmade car production factory that prioritized quality over efficiency. Given the current production lines, manufacturing a hundred cars in a year was already a stretch.
And this was only achievable if components like engines were produced in other factories. However, even a hundred cars would be too much for Finn; he only needed ten units a year. The current labor force in HyperCraft’s handmade production factory consisted of only 283 workers, 80 of whom were engineers. However, even the workers were skilled and elite in their field. Looking at the workers below, Finn confidently stood on the podium and spoke. “I believe many of you already know that HyperCraft has sold this factory and the HyperCraft brand to , which ans from today onwards, you’ll be working for .”
“Of course, you don’t have to worry about changes in your jobs; there won’t be any. Firstly, from today onwards, Truman, standing next to , will be in charge here. You can approach him with anything. Secondly, I have another announcent to make. From today onwards, everyone’s wage will increase by fifty percent of your current salary,” Finn announced directly.
Upon hearing this, the workers below fell silent for a mont before eruptifying into thunderous applause and even whistles. The workers and engineers, whose faces had been tense, instantly lightened up. They knew that wages in Achievent Country were already much higher than in their own country.. But then, Finn proposed an imdiate increase of fifty percent in their salary! What did this an? It ant that they would be the highest-paid in their industry!
