You’ve always been a better Cleaner than I am, and I’ve always been jealous of your ability to look at a place and see the hidden money. Now you need someone to make bids who isn’t magically doomed, so what if we worked together? You can tell me which units are good buys, and I’ll handle all the actual transactions that your bad luck would hurt. That way, we can finally stop wasting cash bidding against each other. We’ll piss everyone else off, make a ton of money, and you can pay me back out of our earnings. Everyone wins! We’ll split everything sixty-forty. It’ll be great.”
