“Save the chit-chat. If you are, then do as Nana says. Our family also has hotels in Jensburg. Go on a business trip and see your future wife.”
Kevin snatched the chicken wing from Callum’s hand and said, “If you want to eat, you can grill it yourself”
He did not want Hayden!
She was a tomboy!
She looked even more handsome as a man than he did!
More importantly, he inquired about Hayden privately and found out that her reputation in Jensburg was just as grand as Zack’s.
Hayden was definitely a tough bone to crack
Kevin felt that his bones would break first
Callum wanted to eat the other grilled food, but Kevin took the plate away and did not let him eat
“I said one sentence, but you’re not letting me eat anymore.
“Don’t be so petty, Kevin. You won’t suffer by listening to Nana. In fact, you’ll suffer more if you don’t listen to her.”
Kevin snapped, “You’re not listening to her either.”
Callum was speechless and thought, ‘Well, better you than me.”
Serena watched her brothers-in-law bickering and felt envious. The brothers and uncles of the York family were harmonious, unlike the Hunt family where everyone was trying to plot against another.
“Elisa, what did you say you wanted to invest in?”
Serena remembered about the investment and asked Elisa about it while eating the barbecue seafood platter her man specially prepared for her.
Jasmine also pricked her ears to listen.
She also felt some pressure now because of Josh. When she saw how her best friend was trying so hard to improve herself in order to shorten the gap between Zack and her, Jasmine did not want to stand idly by anymore.
“All the industries are saturated now, so it’s hard for us to compete with others. When I accompanied you back to your hometown yesterday, I saw the fields in your village were basically deserted.”
Serena nodded. “Many of them are abandoned. The young people leave the village to work, so only the elderly and children are left at home. However, they can’t do any work, so the fields end up that way”
Her family’s fields which she had seen from afar were also left aside.
Well, her relatives in the village were considered rich, so they could live a better life than everyone else without needing to farm.
“I was thinking, how about we arrange for a person to rent all the barren fields there, and then plant grass and vegetables? Of course, we don’t have to manage it ourselves. We’ll hire someone to take care of it instead. I’m afraid your relatives will sabotage the fields if we show up
“If we succeed in planting them, we won’t have to worry about the market. Villa areas and urban greening need grass, which is what we’ll be planting specifically. We can also plant vegetables and fruits.
“Stone Group and York Corporation have many hotels under their banner, and they need a large number of fruits and vegetables every day. Of course, our goal is to sell to other hotels. We’re not trying to earn. money from our own families.
“School cafeterias, large factory canteens, and the likes also need a large number of fruits and vegetables every day. Although the competition in this field is also very fierce, I think we’ll have a slight advantage over others.
1 saw a lot of deserted fields along the road you took to your hometown. I believe the villagers will be more than happy to rent the fields to us. Earning some income from the rent is better than leaving them untouched.”
Serena laughed. “I’m from the countryside, but I never thought of using the fields in the village to make money. You’re good at thinking outside the box, Elisa. There are too few people still farming in the village, mainly because the fields are scattered, and each family only has one or two acres of land. They only harvest just enough to feed their own families, so they can’t earn much money ”
Serena thought Elisa would open a store selling luxury goods, start a beauty salon, or something along those lines. She did not expect Elisa to aim at the barren fields in the countryside.
Elisa continued, I’ve made some calculations and think that this investment is profitable. We won’t go that far We’ll just plant grass, fruits, and vegetables on the fields we contract in Wiltspoon’s countryside. so we’ll save a little on transportation costs. We won’t profit much if we ship between borders due to the larger costs
1 don’t think it’s necessary to worry about marketing as long as our quality is good. If you think the prospects are good, we can start working. I’ll draft a plan and calculate the cost of the various aspects we need to invest in. I’ll ask Clive’s secretary to handle the issue of renting the fields since no one in your hometown knows him.”
Serena said, “Go to the village chief. He will consult the opinions of the villagers and then sign the contract.”
Elisa nodded.
Liberty interjected, “My breakfast diner also needs fruits and vegetables every day. If you guys succeed, I’ll sign a long-term partnership with you.”
She had just started her own business, but she was ambitious and hoped to eventually open a large restaurant. When her business grew, her supply of ingredients would increase as well.
Elisa smiled. “Thank you for your support, Liberty, but I prefer to earn other people’s money. Earning money from one’s own family is only something a person would do when they’re at the end of their rope.”
If a person did business with their own family, they would be called heartless if the prices were high. If the prices were low, they would end up losing money instead. Either way, it was a lose-lose situation.
Liberty thought about it and said, “You’re right. Elisa, your way of thinking is much better than ours. You should learn more from Elisa, Seren.”
The Hunt sisters were motivated and ambitious, but they might not be as good as Elisa when it came to investing and making money. After all, Elisa came from a family who ran their own business, so she at least had some experience.
Elisa blushed and laughed, 1 only thought of renting the fields to plant fruits and vegetables after I saw so many fields deserted on the way back to your hometown.
1 talked to Clive, and he said that it’s feasible. He said that no matter what project we invest in, project that makes us money is a good project. He suggested we give it a try.”
any
Elisa added confidently. “Let’s just give it a go. It’ll be good if we can profit, but if we fail, it’ll be a learning experience. In any case, I’m not short of money.
“Seren, mention it to Zack later at night. If he thinks it’s worth a try, then we’ll go for it. He’s very discerning when it comes to investing in projects.”
Ever since Zack took over York Corporation, every project he invested in was a hit and turned into a profit
Elisa often heard Clive talk about Zack’s achievements at home. Clive only stopped mentioning Zack after she fell in love with him.
“Sure
Serena agreed easily.
In fact, the men had sharp ears. They heard the women discussing investing in fields in the village and planting grass as well as fruits and vegetables. Although they did not speak, all of them felt that Elisa had good insight.
In Elisa’s words, all industries were saturated now, so it was difficult for newcomers to make a living.
The competition in the field they were investing in was also fierce, but Elisa and Serena had an advantage with their status. They would have an easier time than others if they went around to discuss business partnerships with their peers.
If that did not work, they could supply their families’ hotels.
That was why the men felt that Elisa’s idea was worth a try.
Zack did not plan to help. Serena was an independent woman, so she would not want him to help unless she asked for it. She would not feel a sense of accomplishment if he did.
Since she wanted to work by herself, he would support her. It would be good if she could earn money. If she failed, she could just stay at home as the missus of the York family and spend his money.
Remy recalled that the branch company he managed had a cafeteria. Although it was just a branch company, there were still thousands of employees working there, so the cafeteria needed a large number of fruits and vegetables every day.
He wondered if Elisa would notice his company and come to talk to him about a business partnership
Of course, he did not personally manage the cafeteria. However, if Elisa came to him, he would spare some time to manage the cafeteria himself.
The ladies chatted about investment while eating the barbecue, and soon, everyone was stuffed.
Elisa hugged Sonny and rubbed his round tummy, laughing, “We got so carried away talking that we didn’t pay attention to this little guy. Look, his tummy is so round now. Let’s take a break and go on a stroll to help with digestion.”
Serena reached out and touched her nephew’s stomach. She asked with a smile, “Do you feel uncomfortable, Sonny?”
Sonny shook his head. “Nope. I stopped eating when I got full. I gave the food I couldn’t finish to Dunc.”
Everyone looked at Duncan.
