After finishing his words, John was ready to leave—but then he saw the unpleased-looking Harry Sinclair and asked unhappily, "Hey, what are you doing here? Don't you know the pub opens at two in the afternoon?"
Harry Sinclair, seeing the rude John, was not in a good mood and didn't bother to engage with him, instead snorting coldly and continuing to stand there.
Finch, seeing this, hurriedly said, "This gentleman is Mr. Harry Sinclair of the Sinclair Oil Corporation, and he's also here to see the boss!"
"What?"
John's eyes suddenly sparkled. He came to see Donnie today, essentially to inquire about the Sinclair Oil Corporation, because this involved stocks, commercial warfare—things Donnie thought too sophisticated for John to understand, so he hadn't informed John.
In fact, this proved Donnie's judgment correct as the short-selling battle had been going on for three days by the time John heard about it on the radio.
