There's great synergy between the two companies and their common direction. There's potential for massive profits in the future.
RCL can sell tiles and bathware in the LB Finance branches. RCL showrooms can have a counter next to the cashier for leasing and other finance stuff. Cashiers can be replaced by a teller.
LB Finance can provide lease facilities to RCL customers to buy tiles and bathware. (Hmm what happens if the lease for bathware is not paid.)
