Based on the current growth rate, the vegetables should be ready for harvesting after the lunar New Year, and the herbs at most two months into the harvesting period.
In a year, at least three to five crops can be grown.
Greg Jensen felt he had underestimated before; with these five hundred acres, one could probably earn fifty to sixty million a year.
After leaving the farm, he drove to the Wangâs Clubhouse and met Theo Carter in the tea room, who had been waiting for a long time.
âWhatâs so urgent that you have to see me?â
Theo Carter, as if afraid of being overheard, kept his voice very low and said excitedly, âMr. Jensen, that batch has moved.â
âOh? Itâs moved already?â
Greg Jensen knew that after Ethan Locke switched the goods, he would certainly sell them to Westland Pharmaceuticals, but he hadnât expected it to happen so soon.
He couldnât help but wonder, âIs the Locke family in such a hurry to sell our goods because they donât have any of their own?â
Theo Carter gave a thumbs up and praised, âYou guessed it right; they really donât have much stock.
Together with our batch, they barely manage to meet the quota set by Westland Pharmaceuticals.â
Greg Jensen raised an eyebrow and said with a smile, âSo, if they canât sell this batch, Westland Pharmaceuticals will run short of materials?â
âExactly!â
Theo Carter said excitedly, âI think we can take action now, whether itâs suing or warning them. As long as we get the goods back, the Locke family will be in big trouble.â
âThen letâs take action.â
Thinking of Ethan Lockeâs frantic reaction, Greg Jensen couldnât help but grin broadly.
â¦
At the Jamae Herbs Factory, deputy director Marvin Walker, chief of the equipment department Scott Lampe, and head of the personnel department Felix Cooper, all hurried into Taylor Wareâs office.
âMs. Ware, this canât go on; the workers are about to revolt.â
The fact that Jamae Factory was kicked out of the supply chain had already spread through the streets, fanned by those with an agenda.
Upon hearing this news, the workers became anxious, and during their downtime, it was all they talked about, with some even speculating that the factory was about to close down.
Just two days later, several people had handed in their resignations, and Felix Cooper, the head of the personnel department, was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
Marvin Walker was also anxious as he said, âMs. Ware, although the medicinal herb suppliers are not in a hurry for payment, if we keep producing like this with no income at all, how will we pay the workersâ wages?â
Taylor Ware looked somewhat grim and said in a deep voice, âThese arenât things for you to worry about. Just focus on your work.
When itâs time to disburse salaries, not a penny will be short.â
Scott Lampe, the chief of equipment, said, âMs. Ware, I know thatâs what you say, but everyone is still worried.
Right now, everyone in the factory is in a panic. If this goes on, weâll lose all our people.â
At these words, Taylor Ware fell silent.
Greg Jensen said he had evidence, but there had been no movement yet, and she felt somewhat uncertain.
This LSP is too unreliable!
Taylor Ware was somewhat annoyed and took out her mobile phone, ready to call Greg Jensen.
At that moment, the office door suddenly opened, and Greg Jensen walked in with Trey Holmes.
When Marvin Walker and the others saw this, they immediately turned their complaints towards Greg Jensen.
âMr. Jensen, youâve arrived at just the right time. What are we going to do now?â
âYeah, weâve lost the supply rights to Westland Pharmaceuticals. Who are we going to sell our herbs to in the future?â
âWe need an explanation for this today, otherwiseâ¦â
Greg Jensenâs face turned cold as he looked at Marvin Walker and asked, âWhat explanation do you want?â
He knew that Marvin Walker was straightforward and good at his job, but his interpersonal skills were terrible.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
However, straightforwardness was not an excuse for Walker to be presumptuous.
Challenging the boss to provide an explanation?
The phrase âspoiled by favorâ is a warning in any context.
If today Walker demands an explanation from Greg Jensen, tomorrow he might make even more outrageous demands.
Marvin Walker also realized his slip of the tongue and gave an embarrassed smile before awkwardly closing his mouth.
Seeing this, the other two fell silent and instinctively turned their heads to look at Taylor Ware.
âMr. Jensen, the situation at the factory really isnât optimistic. If we canât secure the payment for goods soon, Iâm afraid we wonât be able to pay the workers.â
Facing Taylor Wareâs inquiry, Greg Jensen naturally couldnât stay indifferent.
He dropped his cold demeanor and revealed a relaxed smile, saying, âDonât worry, I came here today specifically to deal with this issue.â
âWhat do you plan to do?â
Taylor Wareâs eyes suddenly lit up, and she quickly stood up to invite Greg Jensen to sit down on the couch.
Greg Jensen smiled and said, âItâs simple, just wait for Marvin Simmons to come begging us to supply goods.â
âMarvin Simmons begging us to supply goods?â
Taylor Ware was instantly stunned, turning her head on impulse only to see Marvin Walker and the others in the same state, staring with wide eyes, dumbfoundedly looking at Greg Jensen.
She said with a bewildered face, âWhat do you mean by that?â
Greg Jensen smiled and said, âI mean just what I said, wait for Marvin Simmons to beg us to supply Westland Pharmaceuticals with goods.â
âHow is that possible?â
Taylor Wareâs expression darkened, and she frowned, âGreg Jensen, are you joking with me? If Marvin Simmons has already kicked us out, why would he beg us to supply him?â
âYeah, Mr. Jensen, this must be some kind of joke, right?â
Marvin Walker and the others wore faces of disbelief, as if they were on the verge of slamming the words âpipe dreamâ right onto Greg Jensenâs face.
Greg Jensen said coolly, âItâs fine if you donât believe it. Just wait and see, in no more than an hour, Marvin Simmons will call.â
âThen letâs wait.â
Taylor Ware frowned, feeling a bit annoyed. If it werenât for Marvin Walker and the others there, she would have loved to grab Greg Jensen and ask what nonsense he was talking about right now.
How could Marvin Simmons possibly beg Jamae Herbs Factory to supply goods!
What she didnât know was that at this moment, Marvin Simmons was watching a video with his head covered in cold sweat.
The video playing showed the entire process of Ethan Lockeâs men colluding with the warehouse manager to switch Jamae Factoryâs goods.
Not only was there footage, but there were also voices of several people conspiring and talking.
The goods were swapped out in Westland Pharmaceuticalsâs warehouse, and among those who handled the goods was Westland Pharmaceuticalsâs warehouse manager.
Furthermore, as a result, Westland Pharmaceuticals had also withheld Jamae Factoryâs payment.
Could anyone believe this had nothing to do with Westland Pharmaceuticals?
If Jamae Herbs Factory took this video to the police, Ethan Locke might be able to find a scapegoat, but Marvin Simmons would definitely be in big trouble.
Who sent him the video didnât matter anymore.
He knew it was a warning!
If he didnât take some action now, the next thing he might receive could be a lawsuit.
By then, whether he could extricate himself from this quagmire or not, Westland Pharmaceuticalsâs reputation would be ruined.
Conspiring with outsiders to deceive a long-standing supplier?
If word of this got out, who would dare work with Westland Pharmaceuticals in the future?
Whatâs more, Westland Pharmaceuticals had already run out of raw materials to continue production, and the delivery date was fast approaching.
If they couldnât deliver on time, Westland Pharmaceuticals would face a hefty penalty.
While Westland Pharmaceuticals could afford to pay the penalty, the Simmons family couldnât afford to lose face.
Marvin Simmons now had only two options: continue to get supplies from the Locke family, but the problem was that the Locke family didnât have enough herbs in their hands.
To deliver on time, they would have to use the batch of herbs from Jamae Factory.
But in doing so, Westland Pharmaceuticals would face subsequent risks together with the Locke family.
This was something Marvin Simmons didnât want to see!
Therefore, he was left with only one choice!
To humble himself to Jamae Herbs Factory!
