Bab 199: Deals in the Middle of the Celebration

As soon as the councilor signaled, a towering man, standing at six feet and five inches, confidently strode forward. Jonathan looked up and extended his hand in greeting.

"Good evening, sir. I'm Jonathan Axelsen, COO of the Axelsen & Nielsen Electric Manufacturing and Distribution Company. I understand that you're interested in our alternating current system, is that correct?" Jonathan asked with a friendly smile.

The man took a moment to inspect Jonathan's hand before firmly shaking it. His deep voice boomed, "Yes, that's correct. Mr. Russell suggested we purchase one generator per mile to address the issue of dark streets and homes."

"Ah, I think I've had a similar conversation before," he said, recalling the encounter.

Jonathan couldn't help but chuckle at the man's statement. It reminded him of a similar conversation with Felix Sumpter in the past. 

The man raised his eyebrows in confusion at Jonathan's muttering. "Excuse me?" he asked.
