Donnie sat there without speaking, waiting for William Mellon's follow-up.
"But as partners, and also as an expression of our apology for the last incident, Mellon Bank still provided you, Donnie, with an $8 million loan. This isn't because we believe the venture will definitely be successful, but because we believe that you, Donnie, will surely succeed.
However, this money belongs to the bank after all, so if you can't repay the loan when the time comes, I hope you can understand the actions taken by Mellon Bank!"
Donnie looked at William Mellon and said, "Of course, that was what we had agreed upon beforehand."
Although the profits from bootleg liquor had begun to flow back, the bootleg liquor market had expanded too broadly, and just transportation alone was a significant expense, so Donnie was currently unable to come up with $8 million cash all at once.
However, this situation would be completely resolved by October.
