章節 19: Amanda
He glanced back, finding a man in his mid-20s, wearing a black suit and having short brown hair.
Arthur didn't know who he was, but he asked him "do you know where to buy this branch of wood, which can be replanted?"
"Mm..." The man held his chin and replied, "the agarwood that enters Europe is usually a finished product, it's very difficult to find branches that can be replanted It's also expensive because countries in Southeast Asia don't allow the export of its branches, so what is found here is contraband. Europe itself banned its trade. And buying the branch might not be a good thing, the average person who planted it ended in failure."
"It seems you are in business in this area, then could you look up the branches if someone wants to buy them from you?" Arthur turned to face him, no longer just looking back.
The man responded by extending his palm towards him, smiling faintly as he replied, "William Gordon, you can call me Will. My family only conducts official business, but of course, we will if Mrs. Isabel's nephew wishes it."
"What do you want?" Arthur asked, not returning his handshake.
"No, no, nothing at all, this is pure sincerity from us," William replied.
"I might need quite a lot."
"How much?"
"Maybe a hundred on the first purchase."
"Cough…" The man immediately coughed, his composure fading and he gave Arthur a confused look.
"Brother, you aren't planning to plant a garden, are you?" he asked. "You know, they won't grow in Europe."
"You don't need to worry about that, how much does one branch usually cost?" asked Arthur.
"It depends on the quality, the cheapest is around 1500 Euros, for the First Tier around 3000 Euros," William answered.
That's practically on par with the average European income. Arthur couldn't help but think about what price would be suitable for him to sell it later.
Meanwhile, William asked again. "Brother, are you sure you want to buy 100 branches?"
"Yes..." Arthur nodded and took out his cell phone. "I know you need time to get them ready, let's exchange cell numbers first."
He wasn't worried about funds because he was confident he could convince Bella's sister tomorrow. And this is just one of the businesses that he will offer her. He still has other good ideas, one of which is to make health or beauty products. He also had a few recipes for snacks and drinks that he thought Earthlings couldn't live without after tasting them once.
William quickly took out his cell phone while telling Arthur his cell number, it seemed he really wanted to be friends with him.
After writing down his cell number, Arthur sent a message to his cell phone.
"By the way, among those branches, what kind of qualities do you want?" he asked.
"Simply the lowest quality," Arthur replied.
Even the lowest quality would be excellent, he planned to sell the good quality ones later so they could cost more.
"Alright..." William nodded. "I'll probably need about three days to prepare them, our branch in Southeast Asia will send them directly by plane once they are collected."
He didn't look worried at all, which was obviously due to his aunt status. If not, he would definitely have doubts since Arthur was still only a high school student, not even going to university yet.
"I'll be waiting," Arthur replied.
He stared at his aunt for a while as the latter watched him every now and then.
Right after that, he suddenly received a message from her.
Opening the message, he couldn't help but be surprised because it contained information about William, quite a lot, something that would be impossible to write down in a few minutes.
'It seems that aunt also keeps information about many elites,' thought Arthur.
Of course, with her position, she could extract information from the intelligence services. There was no problem as long as she didn't release the information to the public.
Arthur reads information about William and the Gordon family.
This family business is importing wood from various countries and bringing them to Europe. They are then converted into various products.
Looking at Europe as a whole, this family couldn't be considered an important family because their business was quite simple, having many rivals.
However, in Vera City, they were considered quite large, including among the top 50 richest families. In the lumber business, there are only two competitors who can match them in this city.
William knew that Arthur was reading something on his cellphone. He was a little curious, but still chose to remain silent.
Meanwhile, people are attracted to a woman who appears on the stairs, generating the same stir as Isabel's arrival.
Her face is very pretty, diamond-shaped with charming pink lips.
She was probably around 26 or 27, tall and slender, wearing a long white coat. Her hair was bright white, reaching down to her waist and slightly wavy.
Around her neck, there is a purple, crescent-shaped diamond necklace while in each ear hangs a finger-length gold earring.
They were quite conspicuous as they reflected the light that hit them, making some women jealous.
What was most attractive about this woman were her ocean-like blue eyes, quite serene as she looked around with her faint smile
"Ah, Amanda Nelson, did not expect that she would come," said William.
Arthur didn't need an introduction from him to know this woman's identity as she was Bella's older sister.
Anna personally came to greet the woman then escorted her to a table.
She didn't actually come alone, there was one Asian woman and a black woman who followed her, they were beautiful but became inconspicuous because of her existence.
Several boys her age looked like they wanted to approach her, but maybe because there were too many who wanted it, so no one dared to take the first step, worried about becoming everyone's enemy.
However, while the others were motionless, a slightly curly blond haired youth suddenly walked towards his desk. He stood out not only because he was much more handsome than the others, but he was definitely the youngest.
"A-Arthur," William said with a surprised expression.
He didn't realize since when Arthur who had been standing beside him had left.
Meanwhile, Arthur was getting a look from Amanda. She blinked spontaneously and showed an interested expression.
They couldn't be said to be acquaintances, but they knew each other because Amanda had come to Isabel's house several times to pick up Bella. On several occasions when Arthur happened to be in front of the house, she asked him if Bella was there.
Basically, they are two people who have communicated.
Normally, Arthur would appear nervous when talking to her, but today he approached her with a calm stride. Of course she was confused.
