The Sanchez Bank, which was controlled by the George family, was one of the largest private banks in Loen City and even on the Empire's West Coast. Every year, they would provide loans to many companies. For example, the Mihalovich Mining Company that Connor came to had borrowed a five-year loan of 5,000 pounds from the Sanchez Bank three months ago in order to expand its scale.
Therefore, with this relationship, Connor felt that the Mihalovich Mining Company might not give him a discount, but at least for the sake of George, they wouldn't cheat him.
"Sir, are you the Mr. Connor Ferguson that Young Master George mentioned?" Connor didn't have to wait too long. Soon, a tall, thin, middle-aged man who looked like a general manager appeared in front of Connor with a warm smile on his face.
Standing up from the sofa, Connor sized up the man. He then extended his right hand and said calmly, "I am Connor Ferguson!"
"Hello, Mr. Connor. I'm the manager of this store, Simone. I'm glad that you chose the Mihalovich Mining Company!" Mr. Simone also extended his right hand and shook Connor's hand. The smile on his face became even brighter.
"Mr. Connor, this isn't the place to talk. Why don't we go to the reception room? Manager Simone invited him with a smile.
"Sure!" Connor nodded.
"Please come with me." Mr. Simone led the way in the front.
"Mr. Connor, this is Mr. George's name card." After they arrived at the reception room, Manager Simone returned George's name card to Connor. He said jokingly, "This is the first time I've seen Young Master George's name card. I've dealt with the Sanchez Bank for so long, but I haven't gotten a name card. What a failure!"
Taking back the name card, Connor said calmly, "George and I were classmates at Greene University. We have a good relationship. I heard that Leipzig's waters are deeper, so I'd like to ask George to recommend a store to me."
Simone nodded and said, "Since Mr. Connor was recommended by Young Master George, then as the manager of this store, I can promise Mr. Connor that as long as we have something in our store, we will try our best to sell it to Mr. Connor at cost price."
"Thank you, Manager Simone!" With a flash of surprise in his eyes, Connor took out a piece of notepaper from his arms, put it on the conference table, and pushed it to Simone.
Simone took the paper and read it over and over again for about a minute before he put it down. He nodded and said, "Mr. Connor, if that's all you want, we have everything in our store."
"Great. If it's possible, I'd like to have a look!" Connor was excited when he heard that. Although Simone read it carefully, Connor wasn't worried. He could tell something from the list. Connor had already thought of this when he made the list, so he added a few other materials to it to confuse Simone.
"Sure, no problem. Mr. Connor, please follow me!" Simone agreed to Connor's request without hesitation.
When they arrived at the warehouse, Connor was very tactful and didn't walk in. Instead, he stayed at the door while Simone directed his workers to move the materials that Connor wanted in front of him.
After a while, Simone carefully checked the list that Connor gave him and nodded. He smiled and said to Connor, "Mr. Connor, everything you want is here!"
Looking at the various metals in front of him, Connor stepped forward and began to inspect them. Although Simone was introduced to him by George, it was better to be vigilant than to harm others. Naturally, it was most reassuring to inspect the things himself.
After checking the items and making sure there were no problems, Connor nodded and asked Simone, "I'm very satisfied with these things. How much do they cost?"
"The market price is one gold pound and five shillings for pure gold sand, two gold pounds for Culun steel … The total is 18 gold pounds, but I just said that I'll give you the cost price, so the final price is 12 gold pounds!" Simone smiled and gave the final price.
Taking a deep look at Simone, a smile surfaced on Connor's face. He fished out twelve gold pounds from his wallet and handed it over. "I'm very happy to be able to conclude this business with Mister Simone!"
Mr. Simone took the money from Connor and said with a smile, "So many things, and they're all made of metal. Mr. Connor, please leave an address. We'll arrange for a carriage to send it to your house!"
"Great!" Connor was very satisfied with Simone's service. He estimated that the things he bought weighed more than a hundred kilograms.
Connor left the address of his apartment to Simone and made an appointment for their carriage to deliver the goods. Then, Connor left.
"Manager, why are you so polite to Connor? Why did you give him such a good price? CEO Harvey is still in charge of Sanchez Bank. "After Simone sent Connor off with a smile, the receptionist immediately came to Simone's side and massaged his shoulders.
Simone squinted his eyes and enjoyed the massage. "Little wench, you really have big boobs but no brain. Didn't Connor Ferguson just say that he and George were classmates at Columbia University? He and George Sanchez were classmates at Greene University. One must know that George Sanchez studied history at Greene University. A year's tuition there costs fifty gold pounds. Those who can study there, other than a few who received full scholarships, are either rich or respectable fellows! "
"Hehe … 50 gold pounds! I've worked here for a year, and with the bonus, it's only a little over 100 gold pounds! 50 gold pounds is enough for me to work here for half a year! And most importantly, George Sanchez has always thought highly of himself and rarely gives his business card to others. Since George Sanchez first gave his business card to Conner, it means that Conner Ferguson is most likely a guy with a deep background. The address that Conner left also proves this point. East Borough's Rand Street. The house prices there are some of the most expensive places in Loen City! "
"Although I didn't make any money from Connor, I didn't lose money by selling those things for 12 gold pounds. I also gained some good karma. Little wench, do you know what's the most important thing in this world? It's not money, it's connections! "
