Chapter 342

Zachariah looked at those people with a frown. "They didn't ask for a few days to think about it and just agreed with my proposal. Even though ten percent is not a lot, it's not too little either. And this is not just a one-off transaction. They had to contribute annually!"

One of the old men said, "Yes. I also think it went too smoothly. Don't they need to go back and discuss it or bargain with us before they agreed? I found it hard to believe they just agreed with us without any negotiation."

The other man smiled. "Mister Zachariah, I think you are overthinking this. The Ballards are a lot stronger than them and we didn't ask for many requests. It's normal that they agreed because of our authority. In other words, they knew we are too strong for them and they had no choice but to agree."

Zachariah thought for a while and said, "Yeah. It doesn't matter if they have another agenda, we're going to be stronger after they agreed with the contribution. It's a good thing for us."
