Mrs Chandrasena,
I am content with 30,000 units of consumer goods, but the BMF made a better offer, with which I was still not content, for the industrial materials and hardware. Their offer would allow for 7000 units each. Could you stretch your contract to 8000 units each, but with my promise that I will always prioritize Gateway for shipping contracts over any other company?

Because of the maximum cargo capacity of our ships, it would make a great difference whether we ship 7500 or 8000 units of Industrial Materials/Hardware. If 500 more or less of these really makes the difference, would you be willing to reduce the amount of consumer goods by 5000 in exchange?

Mrs Chandrasena,
You are a shrewd negotiator, but I am forced to accept. My priority is to build more living quarters -- how well they are equipped comes second. Leodensians are stoic people, they will not complain about such a slight lack of coziness. It will be 25,000 units of consumer goods, 8000 industrial materials and 8000 industrial hardware.
Freely start shipping. Use the same channel to report deliveries.

Since you didn't mention a deadline on these goods and your previous contract mentioned two weeks, we didn't see a need to prioritize over existing engagements. Nevertheless, the shipments are completed:

Esteemed Mrs Chandrasena,
After I told them that the contract had already been completed, the BMF asked who completed it and wanted to know the details of the contract: the quantity of commodities and their pricing. Should I tell them?
