II Blue Star Shipping could secure Thompson Medical as a client, the annual revenue for the entire year would be guaranteed.
Thompson Medical’s office building was located at the innermost part of the industrial park. It was a simple four-story building.
By its exterior, no one would believe that it was the headquarters of the famous Thompson Medical.
The interior of the office building was plain. There were no luxurious decorations, not even an elevator.
Richard brought Lewis and Larissa to the fourth floor. It was where Mr. Ackley’s office was located.
“Mr. Ackley, Mr. Lewis and Ms. Larissa of Blue Star Shipping have arrived.” Richard knocked on the door of one of the rooms.
The office was not large, not even half as big as Lewis’ office. There was a desk and a few cabinets for files.
A man in his sixties sat behind the desk.

There were wrinkles on his face and most of his hair had gone white, but he looked healthy and energetic.
This man was the CEO of Thompson Medical, Brian Ackley.
After hearing Richard’s words, Brian took off his glasses and got up to greet them. He extended his hand. “Mr. Lewis, Ms. Larissa. Thank you for making the effort to come all the way here.”
Lewis and Lar ssa shook his hand one alter the other and followed him to the waiting area next door,

As Brian looked through the document, Lew’s introduced the advantages of their company.
“Blue Star’s competitive edge against other domestic shipping companies is evident. We have dedicated shipping routes to the most
remote countries of the globe.
“Moreover, our company’s reputation speaks for itsell. Our customs clearance process is much faster than other competitors. This will save Thompson Medical time and money.”
Brian went through the quotations from start to linish.
“Mr. Lewis, I understand the advantages of working with Blue Star Shipping. Still, that does not justily a price twice as much as other shipping companies!
“The export of our medical equipment is mainly to a few countries in Kymin and Porshal, Smaller countries can’t afford such high fees. Thus, your shipping routes are not particularly useful for us.”
Lewis tried to change his mind. “Our prices can still be negotiated. Mr. Ackley, you will not regret it by choosing to work with us.”
Brian chuckled and said dismissively, “Let me discuss it with the others in the company. I will get back to you later!”
