Finn Lewis didn't say anything but fell into deep thought. His left index finger drummed rhythmically on the table, instantly quieting the room. Everyone's eyes were fixed on Lewis. After perhaps tens of seconds, Lewis suddenly spoke, "OK, two planes. Yours is 450 million Federal coins, right? 310 million pounds sterling?!"
"Correct, 450 million." Michael Bolton did a quick mental calculation. Although the figure was slightly higher than 450 million, he didn't mind the minor discrepancy. Even based on a price of 450 million, there was still almost a 50% profit for Sky Crane.
"30 million Federal coins." Gary Greer interjected succinctly.
"Well, that's a total of 480 million Federal coins, write that down Hall," Finn said to Luca Hall. Once Hall had duly noted the figure, Lewis continued, "I cannot wait 20 days, 15 is the maximum I can afford. I want to see the two planes in that time."
