Chapter 291: Chapter 291 Waiting for Him to Beg Me_1
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 Wang’s Clubhouse and met Theo Carter in the tea room, who had been waiting for a long time.
“What’s so urgent that you have to see me?”
Theo Carter, as if afraid of being overheard, kept his voice very low and said excitedly, “Mr. Jensen, that batch has moved.”
“Oh? It’s moved already?”
Greg Jensen knew that after Ethan Locke switched the goods, he would certainly sell them to Westland Pharmaceuticals, but he hadn’t expected it to happen so soon.
He couldn’t help but wonder, “Is the Locke family in such a hurry to sell our goods because they don’t have any of their own?”
Theo Carter gave a thumbs up and praised, “You guessed it right; they really don’t have much stock.
Together with our batch, they barely manage to meet the quota set by Westland Pharmaceuticals.”
Greg Jensen raised an eyebrow and said with a smile, “So, if they can’t sell this batch, Westland Pharmaceuticals will run short of materials?”
“Exactly!”
Theo Carter said excitedly, “I think we can take action now, whether it’s suing or warning them. As long as we get the goods back, the Locke family will be in big trouble.”
“Then let’s take action.”
Thinking of Ethan Locke’s frantic reaction, Greg Jensen couldn’t help but grin broadly.
…
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 Ware’s office.
“Ms. Ware, this can’t go on; the workers are about to revolt.”
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, “Ms. 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 workers’ wages?”
Taylor Ware looked somewhat grim and said in a deep voice, “These aren’t things for you to worry about. Just focus on your work.
When it’s time to disburse salaries, not a penny will be short.”
Scott Lampe, the chief of equipment, said, “Ms. Ware, I know that’s what you say, but everyone is still worried.
Right now, everyone in the factory is in a panic. If this goes on, we’ll lose all our people.”
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.
“Mr. Jensen, you’ve arrived at just the right time. What are we going to do now?”
“Yeah, we’ve lost the supply rights to Westland Pharmaceuticals. Who are we going to sell our herbs to in the future?”
“We need an explanation for this today, otherwise…”
Greg Jensen’s face turned cold as he looked at Marvin Walker and asked, “What explanation do you want?”
He knew that Marvin Walker was straightforward and good at his job, but his interpersonal skills were terrible.
However, straightforwardness was not an excuse for Walker to be presumptuous.
Challenging the boss to provide an explanation?
The phrase ‘spoiled by favor’ 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.
“Mr. Jensen, the situation at the factory really isn’t optimistic. If we can’t secure the payment for goods soon, I’m afraid we won’t be able to pay the workers.”
Facing Taylor Ware’s inquiry, Greg Jensen naturally couldn’t stay indifferent.
He dropped his cold demeanor and revealed a relaxed smile, saying, “Don’t worry, I came here today specifically to deal with this issue.”
“What do you plan to do?”
Taylor Ware’s eyes suddenly lit up, and she quickly stood up to invite Greg Jensen to sit down on the couch.
Greg Jensen smiled and said, “It’s simple, just wait for Marvin Simmons to come begging us to supply goods.”
“Marvin Simmons begging us to supply goods?”
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, “What do you mean by that?”
Greg Jensen smiled and said, “I mean just what I said, wait for Marvin Simmons to beg us to supply Westland Pharmaceuticals with goods.”
“How is that possible?”
Taylor Ware’s expression darkened, and she frowned, “Greg Jensen, are you joking with me? If Marvin Simmons has already kicked us out, why would he beg us to supply him?”
“Yeah, Mr. Jensen, this must be some kind of joke, right?”
Marvin Walker and the others wore faces of disbelief, as if they were on the verge of slamming the words “pipe dream” right onto Greg Jensen’s face.
Greg Jensen said coolly, “It’s fine if you don’t believe it. Just wait and see, in no more than an hour, Marvin Simmons will call.”
“Then let’s wait.”
Taylor Ware frowned, feeling a bit annoyed. If it weren’t 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 didn’t 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 Locke’s men colluding with the warehouse manager to switch Jamae Factory’s goods.
Not only was there footage, but there were also voices of several people conspiring and talking.
The goods were swapped out in Westland Pharmaceuticals’s warehouse, and among those who handled the goods was Westland Pharmaceuticals’s warehouse manager.
Furthermore, as a result, Westland Pharmaceuticals had also withheld Jamae Factory’s 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 didn’t matter anymore.
He knew it was a warning!
If he didn’t 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 Pharmaceuticals’s 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?
What’s more, Westland Pharmaceuticals had already run out of raw materials to continue production, and the delivery date was fast approaching.
If they couldn’t deliver on time, Westland Pharmaceuticals would face a hefty penalty.
While Westland Pharmaceuticals could afford to pay the penalty, the Simmons family couldn’t 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 didn’t 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 didn’t want to see!
Therefore, he was left with only one choice!
To humble himself to Jamae Herbs Factory!
