asked Monsieur Colbert, his voice showing more anger than he had intended. Times had been bad and his small vineyard had always depended on the high prices that wines of superior quality fetch. But fewer people were prepared to pay for such luxuries now, and he knew that the Englishman from the supermarket was quite aware of this. He didn't want to lose his business completely. He would have to see what he was offered and hope for the best.
" I am saying, Monsieur ", said Appleby, Finally, "that Happimart Supermarkets always try to offer the best value for their customers. We are experts at selling for the best prices on the market and you are expert at making quality wine. I say we can combine our abilities and offer our customers the finest wines at prices they can afford."
Monsieur Colbert was not familiar with Appleby's way of dong business. He liked people to be direct and open when they were dealing with him.
"And what exactly are your terms, Monsieur Appleby?" he asked.
Daniel Appleby played with his glass as he spoke, admiring the rich dark colour of the wine as he held it up to the light from the window. He was used to moments like this, and enjoyed them almost as much as the fine wines he loved.
"My terms are the terms Happimart offers to all the smaller vineyards it does business with. We like to see fine wines made, but we are realistic about today's market. We offer to buy your vineyard from you and take the reponsibility form your hands, while employing you to be in charge of wine production..."
