"Thank you, Miss Mercer.
You are an absolute lifesaver to our family! You're an angel sent from above! You're..."
The man looked completely overwhelmed with sheer gratitude.
Their factory had been operating at a loss for a long time, and now they couldn't even make payroll.
His wife had urged him to declare bankruptcy, but he just couldn't bear to let it go.
He had started from scratch. He had built that factory with his own two hands. He loved it like his own child—how could he just abandon it?
Furthermore, he had a whole crew of veteran employees who had followed him for years. If they went bankrupt, all those men would lose their livelihoods.

"Don't thank me just yet. Like I said before, when it comes to the bicycles, quality control has to be absolutely flawless.
Deliver exceptional work, and we can keep this partnership going long-term."
"Rest assured, Miss Mercer. We will absolutely guarantee the quality."
"Also, this project is currently strictly confidential. Don't breathe a word of it to anyone. The professionals will discuss the specific details with you tomorrow."

Also, get a lawyer who specializes in real estate law. Have both of them come over with Owen tomorrow afternoon."
Next, she dialed Owen Lance. "Owen, when you come over tomorrow, bring the design director and the procurement manager. There's a bicycle factory owner here I want you to talk to."
"You got it, boss.
