Lance pulled out a stack of money from the drawer, counted out ten five-dollar bills, laid them in a neat row on the table in front of the gentlemen, recounted them, stacked them back up, and handed them over.
"I can ask, why did you choose us?"
While counting the money, one of the gentlemen said, "Only you are willing to lend fifty dollars to me. They think it's too little, and the interest is too high."
Before he came here, he had also tried to borrow money from other places, but obviously, he hadn't managed to get any.
It wasn't that there was no profit margin for fifty dollars; in fact, the profit margin was quite significant.
According to current financial company practices, for a loan of fifty dollars, they might ask for more than one hundred dollars in return after three months, a truly very high-interest rate.
But there was also an issue here, whether or not the money could be recovered, and whether the costs incurred might end up being higher than the profits.
