"Cooperation … You also said that it is a cooperation." Butler Mitry's voice still had no trace of emotion, "Cooperation is only called cooperation when both sides agree. Now that I am short of supplies, the cooperation is naturally over."
"Butler Mitry, is there any room to maneuver?" Wang Songshan naturally did not believe Mitry's far-fetched reason, but he knew the real reason very well. Mitry was just looking for an excuse at the moment.
"This is the decision of the Thomas Family Master. I am just conveying his decision to you." Butler Mitry said, "Okay, Mr. Wang, if there is nothing else, I will hang up. I am sorry to disturb your rest. "
"This …" However, before Wang Songshan could say anything, the other party had hung up the phone. Wang Songshan looked at the microphone in his hand with an indescribably ugly expression.
The other party had finally made a move. In any case, the other party had not let go of the revenge on him.
"Finally, it still came?" Fang Tian looked at the somewhat absent-minded Wang Songshan and sighed. He felt that his old friend seemed to have aged a lot all of a sudden.
"I didn't expect it to be unavoidable in the end." Wang Songshan put down the phone in his hand and looked at Fang Tian with a numb expression, "It was Butler Mitry of the Lancer Family who called. He said that this year's special firearms quota was not enough, and he wanted to stop business cooperation with our Butterfly Family …"
"Aren't there any remedial measures?" At this moment, Wang Ruoshui's face was also dejected. Self-blame and regret filled her heart. If she hadn't hit Goode for a moment of pleasure, things wouldn't have developed to such an irremediable point.
At most, she would have a few words with Goode and pushed him away. Presumably, the Lancer Family would not have done anything to the Butterfly Family, but now …
"I will sacrifice my old face and call the Lancer Family's patriarch, Thomas, personally …" Wang Songshan did not know if what he did would be useful. It was the first time he had asked for help like this. When he first established a cooperative relationship with the Lancer Family, he had never bowed and groveled.
Although Fang Tian wanted to help Wang Songshan do something, he was powerless. He had never run a family, nor had he dealt with the arms merchants of these large families. He knew that he couldn't give any advice at this time, so he could only watch the situation develop silently.
Wang Songshan picked up the phone again and dialed the private number of the Lancer family's family master, Thomas. After two short rings, the phone was picked up. Thomas's voice came from the other side of the phone, "Mr. Wang, if you have anything to say, just say it."
"Mr. Thomas, you and I are well aware of the situation this time. Since that's the case, let's not beat around the bush." Wang Songshan said, "This time, my sister has indeed gone too far. I deeply apologize to Goode. In order to express the sincerity of the Butterfly Family, we will personally hold a banquet in the largest hotel in Ello Town to apologize to Young Master Goode …"
Wang Songshan secretly gritted his teeth when he said this. This kind of concession made his heart bleed. When has the Butterfly Family ever been so weak? However, at this time, people had to lower their heads under the eaves. Wang Songshan couldn't help but be nervous when the Lancer Family held his lifeline.
Although this would damage the reputation and prestige of the Butterfly Family, it was worth it to endure this kind of humiliation for the future of the Butterfly Family.
"That grandson of mine won't be able to accept such an apology!" Thomas said faintly, "If outsiders knew the reason, they might think that Goode was arrogant and domineering."
Wang Songshan's heart sank after listening to Thomas's words. Thomas was unwilling to let go even with such a humble attitude. It seemed that this time, the Butterfly Family would not rest until one of them was dead.
"Mr. Thomas, even if we were wrong first, considering our many years of cooperation, can't you …" At this time, Wang Songshan didn't have a trace of the family master's arrogance. He was completely like those who asked for help. It was not an exaggeration to say that he was humble.
"Hehe, Mr. Wang, I think Butler Mitry has said before that it's not that I don't want to cooperate with the Butterfly Family, but it's because this year's special firearms quota is very small. It's not enough to meet your needs!" Thomas's indifferent words were enough to push all the blame away from him, but the others couldn't find a reason to refute him.
"Then … if that's the case, half of the previous year's supply is fine. I wonder if Mr. Thomas can satisfy us …" Wang Songshan asked carefully.
"Half …" Thomas repeated Wang Songshan's words plainly, "Half is not enough."
"Mr. Thomas, why don't you tell us a way to continue to cooperate with the Butterfly Family? As long as we can do it, we will not shirk." Wang Songshan really had no other way. This Thomas was not willing to let go no matter what. He could only see if there was any room to maneuver.
"Mr. Wang, as you know, this is a special firearm. It's not an ordinary firearm. There's not a lot of them every year. Many of my clients are old friends. They've been working with me for longer than you. Some are even old friends from my father's generation!" Thomas said, "In the previous years, the firearms quota was just enough for you to share equally, so it was peaceful. But this year, the special firearms quota is obviously much smaller. I have to give priority to those old friends! As for your side, I can only apologize … "
Wang Songshan was furious after listening to Thomas's words. What quota is reduced? Why didn't you say it was reduced before? But after Goode was beaten by Wang Ruoshui, the Lancer Family's firearms quota suddenly decreased? And in the middle of the night? Who would believe this?
However, Thomas's words were neither too fast nor too slow, and no one could find fault with them. Wang Songshan couldn't refute at all. Thomas's words were reasonable. The other customers had a stronger relationship with Wang Songshan, so they could only cut off their cooperation with Wang Songshan first and prioritize the supply to others.
"If half of the previous years is not enough, one-third is also fine …" Wang Songshan gritted his teeth and settled for the second best again. He would not be willing to give up just like that.
"Mr. Wang, I have already made my words very clear." Thomas faintly said, "If my old friends find out that I'm providing firearms to outsiders, they'll definitely be angry and bring out their fathers! So, you know, although we have cooperated for many years, I have no good reason to give you firearms … There is no reason for this, so it is very difficult for me to handle this matter. If there is a reason, I can explain it to those people, but our cooperation time is really too short … Our friendship is not as deep as others'! "
Wang Songshan frowned when he heard Thomas's words that seemed to have a hidden meaning. What is this old guy trying to say? Listening to his words, there seems to be a way out of this matter? After all, if there is no way out, why would Thomas explain so much to me? What is the point of him explaining so much?
"Mr. Thomas, listening to your words, it seems that this matter can be solved as long as there is a reason to supply to our Butterfly Family … I don't know, do you have any good suggestions?" Wang Songshan couldn't understand Thomas's meaning, so he directly asked the question. If Thomas really had a hidden meaning in his words, he would definitely give some hints. If he didn't have this meaning, I wouldn't have to rack my brains to think of those meaningless things.
"Hehe, it's not that I don't have any suggestions." Thomas smiled and said, "If our families are related, then my supply of firearms to you will be justified, and no one will be able to say anything about it! Even if I give you all the special firearms quota, others can't say anything even if they have an opinion! "
