So, we are going to go as the deal stated.Now, this is how we are going to go about it.We are going to request a full refund of our money and its interest due the three years. The time frame we will give them is a weekI know for sure they would not be able to pay up.Now, the week also coincides with the time ultimatum the investors gave them for the oil factory.That means, if the time is up and they can not pay either of us, they are going to go bankrupt as a result of the investors pulling out of their business.Now, the Andersons will be down by one.Next, we also demand for their oil factory in compensation of some part of the money they owe.That leaves them with no option than to give in, " Grandpa said." Okay, but how much are we talking about here? " Andrea asked." Principal amount of two million dollars and a total interest of a little over a million dollars for the total three years.

A HUGE SUM AND A HUGE NOTEGrandma and Louisa sat looking at each other." What if they have forgotten about this whole thing?" Louisa asked, breaking the silence." That may also be true, but how sure are we? We can only hope, we can't be rest assured." Grandma replied." And how much money did grandpa take from them?" Louisa asked and looked back in the paper, trying to see if she could find any stated amount in the contract." It was not stated there, but I know it must be a very huge sum in total," Grandma replied in a shaky voice."

All we have to do is go and value it at the pawn shop, and we will see how much we will get." Louisa said." Nope. I remember when your grandfather died, I called one of the finest crafters in the country to come value these, and it was about a million dollars as at that time, so I guess it will be more by now " Grandma replied.Louisas face brightened up." That is good news, at least that will help bring the company back to life. So when are you taking it to the pawn shop?" Louisa asked." Let me call him right away. There is no time to waste.
