Chapter 7: Choice Control Again!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Shawn got up early.
This was because he had already spoken to the people who provided the wild vegetables at the radio station yesterday.
Today’s collection would be done at Shawn’s house, but when he opened the door, there was no one there.
The old couple followed him out as well. When they saw the situation before them, they were at a loss.
Shawn’s mother wondered: “Don’t tell me they’re not up yet?”
“That’s not right, is it? After the collection stopped last night, there were still many large and small bags that were not sold. They should be in a hurry,” Shawn’s father said.
Shawn nodded.
He did not know the exact situation either. Perhaps they had not gotten up yet.
However, he had a bad feeling about this.
But since they were not here yet, he decided to have breakfast first.
After breakfast, Shawn’s parents decided to check out the radio station.
They arrived at the radio station. Sure enough, there was another long line here.
They crowded in to see who was buying.
Shawn’s expression immediately darkened upon seeing the person.
Shawn’s parents also looked a little scared.
Seeing that Shawn’s family had arrived, the buyer walked up with a smile.
He patted Shawn’s shoulder with a satisfied expression, and said, “You’ve done well, Shawn! I didn’t think that you’d be able to bring such great benefits to the community.”
After which, he burst into laughter.
Shawn was not happy to see this, he knew the person who came.
Raul was the richest man in the district, who also owned the largest and most valuable farm here.
He was cunning and vicious with a large number of subordinates under him, the locals had been deeply harmed by his actions.
Take Shawn’s family for example.
Shawn’s farm was not small either.
However, as Shawn was going to university, his family could not afford the money.
They had no choice but to borrow from Raul.
The original agreement was to pay it back in a year with an interest of $1800.
But not long after Shawn started college, Raul showed his true colors.
He forcefully pursued payment, and naturally, the old couple could not afford to pay off their debts. They could only watch as Raul took away their most valuable farm.
The old couple had never told Shawn about this. It was only when he picked them up in his previous life that he learned about this from his neighbors.
Initially, he wanted to teach this bully a lesson. However, he did not expect to be involved in a car accident and come back to this time!
Shawn did not go to find trouble with him, yet he actually dared to appear. He was really courting death!!
At the thought of this, the rage in Shawn’s heart continued to surge.
However, there was no hurry now. He would just wait and see how arrogant the other party was.
“Uncle Raul, what are you doing?” Shawn asked with a calm expression.
“Haha, you mean this?” Raul laughed heartily: “I saw that you were too busy yesterday. You’re still young and can persevere, but your parents are already old and can’t afford to go through all that trouble. Therefore, I took the liberty of bringing people to help you gather the purslane early in the morning.”
“Look, after your collection yesterday, the people are even more enthusiastic today. They gathered so early in the morning. Shawn, you’ve really helped out everyone!”
Shaun frowned. He knew the person in front of him very well. There was no way he would be kind.
The more he said this, the more vicious his plan was.
“Thank you, Uncle. How much did they collect? I’ll pay the money now.” Shawn smiled.
“What are you thanking me for? We’re considered family.” Raul waved his hand and said nonchalantly.
“This is a small sum of money. We’re family. Just give me the original price.”
“The original price?” Shawn frowned.
He was being so nice?
“Yes, yes, and as the boss, you shouldn’t do everything personally. My son, that useless cousin of yours, Simon, has just returned from the city. Since he has nothing to do, he can help you make the trip to town.” Raul smiled and pushed Simon out.
At this moment, Shawn completely understood what this old fool was up to.
He wanted to take over Shawn’s partnership.
Interesting. If it was his previous life, he would definitely not be able to defeat this bully, but in this life…
Dream on.
“No need, no need, Uncle. I’m still young, so I won’t trouble you. I can go by myself.” Shawn pretended not to know what he was saying.
Looking at Shawn in front of him, Raul frowned. He did not expect this kid to be so stubborn!
Hence, the smile on his face changed and he said again, “Sigh, Shawn, actually, I am too embarrassed to say this. I mainly want you to take care of your cousin. He doesn’t have anything serious to do all day. If he continues like this, his life will be over!”
With that, Raul pretended to sigh.
He spoke again, “Please help your cousin out of respect for me. I was the one who helped you settle your university fees. You won’t reject me, right?”
He glanced at Shawn’s parents while saying that.
Shawn’s parents did not dare meet his gaze. They looked away hastily.
Raul’s son, Simon, looked at Shawn with a haughty smile, he was very arrogant.
“Shawn, don’t pretend anymore. You can’t handle this business alone. Leave it to us. I’ll give you 10% of the share, or else!!”
A hint of viciousness flashed through Shawn’s eyes as he looked at Raul.
He interrupted: “Or else what?”
“Hmph, what do you think? If you can’t supply the goods, do you think Jeffrey will still work with you?” Simon said disdainfully.
Hearing Simon mention Jeffrey, Shawn knew they must have made contact.
As for how they found him, it was because they did not hide the transaction in the town. Many people knew that there was such a rich person in the town.
If he had not planned ahead and successfully worked with Jeffrey, they might have really stolen his business.
However, they must have met with a rejection now.
That was why he came to look for him instead.
“Haha, you can control all the supply in the neighborhood?” Shawn laughed.
“Hehe, Shawn, are you doubting my family’s strength?” Simon said disdainfully.
“Alright, we’ll see about that. I’ll go back and buy the vegetables at $2 per kilogram.” Shawn immediately turned around.
Everyone was shocked when they heard that Shaun was offering $2.
The person who was trading immediately stopped what he was doing and hurriedly asked, “Shaun, are you for real?”
“Of course.” Shawn smiled confidently.
“Okay, okay, I won’t sell it to them anymore. I’ll sell you everything.” Quite a few people were persuaded and hurriedly ran over with their bags.
Many people were still watching, but Raul’s collection had completely stopped.
“Shawn, you want to go against us?” When he heard that Shawn was buying it for $2, Simon’s eyes immediately darkened.
Even his father, Raul, who had been smiling the whole time, immediately showed a stiff expression that had a hint of ruthlessness.
Shawn looked back, ready to speak, but suddenly, some choices appeared above Raul’s head.
[Name: Raul, Favorability: -20]
[1st. They are holding me, Raul, in disregard. Looks like Shaun’s family is too arrogant. I need to find a chance to deal with them. (Consume 35 Karma Points) (Effect: Mood +50)]
[2nd. I should give him half of the profits, the business cannot stop. (Consume 20 Karma Points) (Effect: Favorability -20)]
[3rd. Bulk purchase at a higher price. If they don’t have a supply source, how can they sustain the exclusive collaboration opportunity? If they want to break out of this situation, they have to come to me. At that time, won’t it be up to me to decide how much I want to sell the vegetables at? (Consume 22 Karma Points) (Effect: Mood +100)]
