Kleistier had just informed him that French goods seemed to be very popular, as numerous merchants and companies had expressed their willingness to take over the merchandise immediately, guaranteeing that they would announce to the public that the original buyers had paid for them.
However, the price would need to be discounted.
Duke of Leeds looked towards Kleistier and asked, "So, how much more money do we need to pay in total?"
"Seven orders, a total of 1.8 million florins, Your Grace," the latter responded and took out a stack of copies of agreements, hastily adding, "These buyers are all very reliable. For example, Viscount Plummer, in Vienna, is very famous for his substantial wealth.
"My people have signed agreements with them, the terms are clear, and they've even paid part of the down payment to the French companies."
Duke of Leeds frowned again.
1.8 million florins was 180,000 British Pounds.
