Harold frowned, his skepticism evident. "And what makes you think I can just switch like that? My entire business is built on horses and carriages. Switching to automobiles isn't as simple as you make it sound."
Matthew gestured toward Harold with an open palm. "I understand your hesitation. Change is never easy, but you're already losing ground. Horse-drawn transportation is becoming obsolete, and the longer you resist, the harder it will be to recover. I'm not offering you a handout—I'm offering you a path forward."
Harold crossed his arms, his jaw tightening. "And how exactly do you propose I do that? Automobiles are expensive. Even if I wanted to make the switch, where would the money come from?"
