Chapter 225: Chapter 224: Heavenly Path_1

Greg Jensen glanced at the faces of those present and chuckled, “If possible, I plan to expand Peach Blossom Grocery Supermarket to every corner of Qin Province.”

Upon hearing his words, Adrian Wright and Boss Liu’s eyes lit up with excitement. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Brandon Brent, who was standing nearby, was stunned. He had always known that following Greg Jensen would be rewarding, but he hadn’t anticipated such a grand gesture.

He looked at Boss Liu and then at Adrian Wright, his eyes turning red with jealousy.

He had known Greg Jensen longer than Adrian Wright, yet now Adrian Wright was able to become a shareholder while he was still just running errands.

If he had known earlier, he should have been more diligent; then he might have been part of the profit-sharing now.

As he watched Adrian Wright’s excitement, Brandon Brent silently vowed to himself that he would complete Mr. Jensen’s assignments immediately from now on, with no more delays.

After all, that was a five-hundred-acre vegetable base—how much money would it make in a year?

Boss Liu was also exceedingly thrilled. The land Lindsey Wolfe had in the village was barely over a hundred acres, and even just by selling vegetables, they made hundreds of thousands a year; that didn’t even include what Jules Jensen and others earned.

What’s more, Jamae was a prefecture-level city; how could a poor place like Duo Phoenix Town compare?

With so many wealthy people in Jamae City, those premium vegetables with a hint of sweetness would definitely fetch better prices.

If calculated this way, a five-hundred-acre field could easily bring in seven or eight million a year.

And that’s a conservative estimate. If we included the premium pricing, earning twelve or thirteen million a year was also achievable.

After his initial excitement subsided, Adrian Wright became a bit troubled and said, “Brother Greg, but… I don’t have any money right now.

All our money is tied up in Jade.”

Greg Jensen smiled and then changed the subject, “Speaking of which, I haven’t asked you about this yet; how’s Jade Stone going?”

When he brought up Jade Stone, Adrian Wright’s excitement flared up again, and he smiled, “Operations have already started, and there will be a jade exhibition before the end of the year, hosted right here in our Jamae City.

Afterward, there will be exhibitions throughout Qin Province, all organized by our company.”

“Hmm, that sounds good. Have you named the company yet?”

“Not yet, how about ‘Heavenly Path’?”

Greg Jensen laughed, “Up to you, I don’t have any opinion on that; you handle it.”

“Got it.”

Adrian Wright chuckled, and then a bit dejectedly said, “Maybe I should stay out of the vegetable base business. I’ll just help you out.”

“Don’t say that, that won’t do. We’ve already set aside shares for you. If you don’t take them, that’s like disregarding my face,” Greg Jensen protested.

“But the money… ”

Greg Jensen laughed, “Alright already, don’t worry about the money, I’ll front it for you,”

Upon hearing this, Adrian Wright was immediately upset, saying incredulously, “How could that work? I’m partnering with you in business, yet you have to front the capital for me. You might as well not take any money and just give me a cut of the profits each day.”

“Haha, it’s not as ludicrous as you’re making it out to be. When we have our first profit distribution, I’ll just deduct it then,” Greg Jensen replied.

“That’s still not acceptable.”

After hesitating for a moment, Adrian Wright said, “Let me give Spencer Burley a call, I’ll borrow some money from him.”

With that, he took out his phone and called Spencer Burley.

I don’t have money, but I do!

On the side, Brandon Brent was frantically anxious. Several times he almost spoke up, but out of respect for Greg Jensen’s authority, he ultimately didn’t dare to say a word.

Greg Jensen noticed his eagerness and said indifferently, “Focus on your work; my business isn’t just this one thing.

Do well, and you’ll reap the benefits.”

“Yes, Mr. Jensen,” replied Brandon Brent.

Brandon Brent snapped to attention, bowed respectfully, and said, “Rest assured, Mr. Jensen. Even if it brings me to my knees, I will complete any task you give me.”

“Hmm.”

Greg Jensen nodded and asked, “What’s the situation with Ethan Locke now?”

Seeing that the other two weren’t paying attention to them, Brandon Brent lowered his voice and said:

“Ethan Locke is the same as always, drinking and chasing women all day, and occasionally he would inquire about the company’s affairs.

Other than that, I really didn’t notice anything out of the ordinary. Oh, right, he’s about to get married to Cindy Harrison.”

Feeling somewhat apprehensive, Brandon Brent couldn’t help but glance cautiously at Greg Jensen after he had spoken.

After all, what he had found were just some insignificant details, hardly any valuable information.

So, feeling guilty at that moment, and just as he was about to say something to make amends, he saw Greg Jensen taking out a paper bag and placing it in front of him.

“Hmm, good job, keep up the effort. Here’s the antidote for the next few months. Once I’ve developed the antidote to completely cleanse you, I’ll get rid of the poison in your body.”

“Uh, Mr. Jensen, you… you’re not mad at me?”

Greg Jensen smiled and said, “Why would I be mad at you? With your abilities, managing to find out this much in such a short time is pretty good. Keep up the effort.

You know what I want isn’t this stuff. What I need is something that can bring them down, understand?”

Brandon Brent said excitedly, “I understand, I’ll do my utmost to investigate for you.”

He truly hadn’t expected that Greg Jensen would not only refrain from blaming him but also offer praise and encouragement.

This moved him greatly, and he silently vowed to himself to carry out Greg Jensen’s tasks to the best of his ability.

At that moment, Greg Jensen turned to Adrian Wright and said, “Adrian, take old boss Liu with you these next two days, and have a look around the area. See if there’s any large plot of land available.

The minimum requirement is five hundred mu. If it’s bigger, then let’s just go ahead and create a manor.”

“Brother Greg, do we really need that much land?”

Adrian Wright was a bit puzzled; he didn’t understand why Greg Jensen insisted on acquiring so much land.

Greg Jensen just smiled and didn’t explain much, “Just trust me.”

“Hmm, all right.”

Seeing Adrian Wright agree, Greg Jensen once again fell into deep thought.

The main reason he wanted such a large plot of land was to maximize the benefits of the Small Cloud Rain Skill.

The remaining land from the vegetable base would be planted with medicinal herbs and even staples like rice.

If the land area was sufficient, it could be developed into a farm-style property.

It may seem like farming isn’t that profitable, but if it’s high-quality vegetables, they could definitely make a killing.

With the Small Cloud Rain Skill, would high-quality rice still be a problem?

A smile gradually appeared on Greg Jensen’s lips. Now, making money was becoming easier for him, but revenge, on the other hand, was still proving to be difficult.

Cindy Harrison was easy to deal with. As long as there was progress with Theo Carter, she could be firmly held in the palm of his hand.

But Ethan Locke was a bit more troublesome.

Back then, as the only college student from Peach Blossom Village, Greg Jensen had put in immense effort to get into Jamae University.

As long as he graduated smoothly, though he couldn’t reach the peak of his life immediately, living a comfortable life was still certain.

However, all of this turned into a fleeting dream because of Ethan Locke’s interference.

More than a decade of hard work was wasted, and Greg Jensen himself was beaten into a fool, living in a daze for nearly two years.

All thanks to Ethan Locke!

Is it so great to have money and power?

So when I am stronger than you, shouldn’t I return all the pain inflicted on me manifold?

Simply killing Ethan Locke is easy, but that would let him off too cheaply!
