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 you gave 20% off and sold the stronghold giant crossbow at the manufacturer's price, you would be losing money!
Ronald clenched his fist. He wanted to punch Alfie 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 Sean with a 20% discount.
'Because the Townsend family isn't as wealthy as the Wagner family.'
If Ronald also offered 20% off, Alfie might go even lower.
That way, Ronald would always be one step behind Alfie. There was no way he could compete with him!
Alfie smiled and turned to look at Ronald, saying smugly, "Mr. Townsend, are you going to offer a 20% discount too? Maybe Commander Lennon will choose the Townsend family!"
The sarcasm made Ronald'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.
Lorenzo also looked smug.
The old man had refused his proposal so many times. He would not marry Lillian to him! He had now hit a brick wall!
'If you had the sense to marry your daughter to me, would this have happened?'
Lorenzo's face lit up with glee at the thought. He was even on the verge of laughing.
