Chapter 127: Chapter 127: Out of Money

Looking at the jade bottle Peter Brown handed over, Javier Carter hesitated, "What is this?"

"This is a medicine I have prepared. Considering Jalen Carter’s condition you described to me, this medicine should be effective. There are three pills in it. One pill a day, and Jalen Carter should be better after three days."

On hearing this, everyone’s gaze fell on the jade bottle.

Javier Carter took it immediately, even opening the bottle.

The jade bottle looked good, but the medicine inside wasn’t as appealing. At first glance, you could see three dark black pills.

"This...." Javier Carter glanced skeptically at Peter Brown, wanting to say something but didn’t dare to speak.

"Don’t worry, there should be no problem after taking it. He should be able to get out of bed after taking the first pill," Peter Brown assured him.

Javier thought it over. It wouldn’t make sense for Peter to deceive him about this. Besides, the two had already agreed on the road repair. This grudge seems to be resolved.

"CEO Wang, let’s do this: when we get back, we’ll start working on this. I believe there will be results soon."

"Hmm, I trust you, CEO Carter. After all, we will continue to do business in the future."

Javier Carter’s face twitched a bit, thinking that Peter Brown’s words seemed to carry a hint of threat. His words implied that if Javier didn’t repair the road, Peter might come looking for him.

This devil is hard to deal with!

"Don’t worry, CEO Wang, this matter is important to our company. I believe with everyone’s joint efforts, we can resolve this matter quickly."

Looking around at the several leaders, Peter Brown took out some jade vials made from waste jade and placed a elixir in each one. He gave one to each person, saying, "This is a special cure for the three high-diseases (hypertension, hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia). If you trust me, take it. I guarantee it will solve your problems."

All the leaders hesitated for a moment before ultimately deciding to take it.

Of course, Peter Brown could tell that these people probably didn’t believe him completely.

Regardless, meeting them must mean they are destined. Peter still believed in fate. Giving them hope was a gift. If they took the medicine, it was fate. If they didn’t take it, it was their loss.

Javier Carter considered his task completed with this visit. The conditions here were poor, so naturally, they wanted to leave as soon as possible. However, when they thought of the mountain road they had taken to get here, everyone’s faces showed a hint of fear. The journey was almost life-threatening, they really didn’t know if they would be able to hold up on the way back.

Seeing the condition of everyone, Max Richards understood. He thought to himself that if he didn’t take good care of these people, he would have an actual headache when he got back.

With this in mind, Max Richards called the township secretary, Thomas Carter, to the side and whispered a few words to him.

Thomas Carter went over to Alvin Brown and pulled him aside. They whispered to each other for a bit.

After a moment of hesitation, Alvin Brown nodded and stepped out.

After discussing for a bit, Alvin Brown came back with a group of villagers. They were all strong young men, carrying one bamboo chair for every four of them.

Alvin Brown spoke loudly to all the leaders, "Dear leaders, your visit to our village is a display of your support and concern. We appreciate your visit and to show our gratitude, we’ve decided to express our feelings with actions. We will carry you to the township hall."

"How can we?"

A few leaders began to politely decline.

Alvin Brown glared at them and said, "If you don’t sit, it means you look down on us villagers. Sit, you must sit!"

At this moment, Walter Armstrong was moved and said, "Dear villagers, your action is touching. Please believe that the government will develop the village, and the road will also be repaired!"

Max Richards also moved, "What nice people," he said. "Please rest assured, we remember your poverty alleviation. After we return, we will discuss the road construction immediately and strive to let vehicles drive here as soon as possible!"

Under Alvin Brown’s intense gaze, everyone gratefully sat down on the bamboo chairs. Each chair was tied with two long bamboo poles, the villagers lifted them and moved towards the township.

Watching a long line of people leave, Peter Brown looked at Alvin Brown and laughed: "Grandpa, I didn’t expect you to be such a good actor."

He chuckled, "Two hundred yuan per person, it’s not a loss if we can earn."

Only then did Peter Brown know that Thomas Carter had told his grandfather to hire villagers by paying them.

"Peter, can this road really be built?" What the grandfather really cared about was this. On mentioning this, he sighed and said: "If it isn’t for the promise of road construction, I’m not even willing to acknowledge their existence."

Peter Brown nodded slightly and said: "There shouldn’t be any big issues. Actually, they can get approval by just making some minor adjustments. Every year the country allocates a large amount of funds for road construction. We will be able to charge a toll on the roads when they are completed and earn money."

"Peter, you said you would contribute two hundred million yuan. Where is the money going to come from?"

Hearing the question, Peter Brown scratched his head. In order to pull in Javier Carter, he had also said that he would invest, but in fact, he really couldn’t pull out that kind of money.

He’s broke!

All of Peter Brown’s money is now in Flower Creek Group, and he is seriously short of funds.

The road must be built, but where is the money going to come from?

Considering Flower Creek Group, Peter never considered withdrawing funds from there. After all, the company has just started, and there are many places to use money. He can’t undermine the company’s progress.

He could only seek funds from other sources.

But, Peter Brown is not too worried. He can refine medicine pills and sell them to Priest Wilson. With that, he should be able to raise two hundred million yuan. The only uncertainty is when Javier Carter et al. can finalize the road construction after they return.

"Peter, if the highway is built, will it be closer for us to get to county town?" Lily Jackson excitedly asked Peter Brown as she walked up to him.

When he saw her elder sister, Lana Jackson, looking excited, Peter said: "Absolutely, it won’t take an hour to reach the county town once the road is built. We can even sell our products in town."

"Can we send our mother for treatment in the city?" Lana Jackson’s eyes were shining.

Then Peter Brown remembered about the treatment, he had been busy and almost forgot. He smiled and said, "Don’t worry, there will be better days ahead. Things will get better and better!"

"Peter, you are so amazing. Ever since you came to our village, it feels like the village has come to life!"

Admiration filled Lana Jackson’s eyes.
