Christmas season and no one takes advantage of it?
Businessmen of the City, involved in services, merchandising, or manufacturing, what's the state of trade today? Heh, obviously in disarray. A highly individualistic perspective will be your downfall. If you drown, there'll be no one to hang on to. This isn't the primitive era, businessmen protect a businessman's interests. We think of the future and we protect our future.
I might as well say it here. Who are the entertainment and technology-oriented moneymakers here?
[OOC: Simply put, he's trying to assess the state of businesses in the City and form a
cooperation. Calling all businessmen of all trades! ^^]
