Forget about making money that way, they were even losing money!
Selling the stronghold giant crossbow at the manufacturer’s price looked like they were breaking even, but you had to factor in labor and shipping costs.
These two added up to tens of thousands of Union dollars. Therefore, if one gave 20% off and sold the stronghold giant crossbow at the manufacturer’s price, he would be losing money!
Morten clenched his fist. He wanted to punch Hezti in the face.
The old man would lose money to compete with me and beat me. How despicable!
But I can’t offer a lower price and lure Fiona with a 20% discount. Because the Townsend family isn’t as wealthy as the Wagner family.
If Morten also offered 20% off, Hezti might go even lower.
That way, Morten would always be one step behind Hezti. There was no way he could compete with him!
Hezti smiled and turned to look at Morten, saying smugly, “Mr. Townsend, are you going to offer a 20% discount too? Maybe Commander Adrian will choose the Townsend family!”
The sarcasm made Morten’s expression change with anger. However, there was nothing he could say. He was no match for him. It was true that the Townsend family was not yet willing to lose money.
Ludwig also looked smug.
The old man had refused his proposal so many times. He would not marry Albert to him! He had now hit a brick wall!
If you had the sense to marry your daughter to me, would this have happened?
Ludwig’s face lit up with glee at the thought. He was even on the verge of laughing.
“No, Commander Adrian, I didn’t mean that. I just don’t understand… This is a great deal for the city defense army. Why did you turn us down?” Hezti asked cautiously.
He was disappointed and even angry, but he dared not lose his temper.
The man in front of him was the commander-in-chief of the city defense army. If he disrespected him, he and his son could forget about leaving here alive today!
Hearing Hezti’s words, Fiona smiled faintly and glanced at Ludwig, who looked equally ghastly.
Then Fiona said, “I’m not sure about the Wagner family‘s products because of the Wagner family’s bad morals and bad manners…”
“What?”
