Every company that received the email were surprised. It didn't matter who they were or how big they were, they all shared the same emotions.
Luxury timepiece companies like Patek Philippe, Rolex, Omega, and the rest also received emails, as did the big five publishers, science publishers, and fine wine houses, premium spirits, and premium beverage brands.

This was huge for most companies because Nova Technologies was asking these things for free or asking them to hand over their products and receive proceeds of sales on the space station at a certain period.
No, Nova Technologies was making a wholesale purchase and paying in full, effectively making a retailer of their products. Albeit, a special kind of retailer.
