Chapter 208: Chapter 208: Withdrawal of Shares Turmoil

Sitting in the courtyard of the village community council, the villagers were called again, with Phoenix Taylor and others sending representatives to sign and seal documents with the Flower Creek Group regarding withdrawal of shares.

Phoenix Taylor had already consulted with Peter Brown over the phone and only sent someone after receiving his instructions.

However, after receiving Peter Brown’s call, Mansell Thompson didn’t express his intention to withdraw shares but inquired about the situation and proposed to increase his investment. Peter Brown did not agree, and seeing that, Mansell Thompson insisted that he still wanted to invest 100 million in the Flower Creek Group and didn’t want to withdraw shares.

Eventually, it was only after Peter Brown’s insistence that Mansell Thompson agreed to send someone to sign the documents and added that he would be ready to invest anytime Peter Brown needed.

Both Roshan Evans and Briar Henderson were notified. They didn’t come in person but sent their representatives with authorization letters to sign hurriedly. After the signing, their 100 million each was transferred to them, and from then on, they had no more relationship with the Flower Creek Group.

Phoenix Taylor’s representative also arrived, signed the documents, and withdrew her shares as well.

Watching several major shareholders withdrawing, the villagers’ faces showed a sense of confusion.

At this time, Grayson Walter looked at the villagers and said, "You all voted earlier to withdraw from the Flower Creek Group, and Peter Brown also agreed not to divide the profits from the medicinal materials in your fields. Once the village sells them, you will all share in the profits. Based on market conditions, we roughly calculated that after selling all the medicinal materials, each household will earn one hundred thousand yuan."

Upon hearing about the one hundred thousand yuan income, the little reluctance that the villagers had disappeared. One villager loudly said, "Withdraw! We must withdraw from the Flower Creek Group. We can grow medicinal materials later. It’s not hard to grow them. There’s no need to work for the Flower Creek Group!"

"Yes, it’s not that difficult. I agree!"

"I agree!"

"Agree!"

One by one, the villagers expressed their opinions.

Grayson Walter looked at Peter Brown and said, "Peter, I’ll sign this on behalf of the villagers. After signing, the responsibility of selling the medicinal materials in the fields will belong to the village, and you will have nothing to do with it. Think it over."

Peter Brown nodded and said, "My original intention was to give some benefits to everyone. Now that everyone can get a share of the money, I’m very happy. Let’s do it this way."

At this moment, an old man stood up and shouted, "Do you even have a conscience? Have you forgotten what Flower Creek Village used to be like? Anyway, I, Julien Jones, haven’t forgotten. Everyone was struggling to put food on the table, and everyone lived in worn-out houses. Peter Brown spent so much money and effort, developing the village little by little. And you’re all ready to turn against him at the first sign of trouble! I want to ask you, if you search your conscience, can you tell me how Peter Brown has wronged you?"

Julien Jones’ words made everyone’s faces flush.

Julien Jones continued emotionally, "I, Julien Jones, know that it’s only thanks to Peter that I now have a good life. It’s only since Peter arrived that I’ve been able to live in a house that doesn’t leak. I, Julien Jones, also know that without Peter, we wouldn’t have these good days. In my heart, Peter is truly a benefactor!"

At this point, Julien Jones looked at Peter Brown and said, "Peter, I, Julien Jones, have no say in it. The villagers have decided by majority vote. But Julien Jones accepts your kindness. Now that the Group has encountered some issues, I, Julien Jones, don’t have much power to help. But I want to give you all the money they will give me. You can use it. Although it won’t make much difference, consider it a little token of my gratitude. If the company needs me to do anything, even if it’s just guarding the door, I, Julien Jones, will do it!"

Peter Brown was genuinely touched and hadn’t expected there to be someone like Julien Jones. He quickly stood up and grasped Julien Jones’ hand, saying, "Uncle Jones, thank you!"

"Peter, I’m sorry I couldn’t help you more."

"Uncle Jones, you’ve already done me a huge favor. I, Peter Brown, thank you!"

"Peter, there’s also me, Mike Smith. Without your help, our family wouldn’t be where we are today. I must tell you honestly, on the day you carried a bag of rice to my house, I had already poured pesticide into the wild vegetables. Life was impossible! My idea was to end it all, have my whole family die together. But that bag of rice saved our entire family."

At this point, tears streamed down Mike Smith’s face.

Mike Smith’s wife also said emotionally, "Peter, you are our family’s lifesaver! Julien was right. We can’t be ungrateful. Our family will also get 100,000 yuan, but we don’t want anything; we’ll give it all to you. We hope it can help the company through this crisis. Peter, you are a good person!"

Peter Brown’s eyes also moistened at this time. He realized that his previous thoughts were a bit extreme, always believing that there were no grateful or good people left. He never expected that there would still be people who appreciated him.

Holding Mike Smith’s hand, Peter Brown said, "Thank you, thank you!"

"Peter, I, Mike Smith, don’t have much ability, just strength. If you need me to do anything, just tell me!"

Patting Mike Smith’s hand, Peter Brown nodded vigorously.

The faces of the villagers turned red at this point, and some were also moved to tears. However, thinking about the 100,000 yuan that would soon be in their hands, and how it would bring great benefits to their families, most people ultimately did not follow the examples of Julien Jones and Mike Smith in offering their money.

At this point, Hellen Brown’s ex-husband, Roshan Evans, shouted, "Enough with the useless talk! One hundred thousand yuan is a lot of money. It’s only real once you get it. With it, we can do anything. We’ve all learned to grow medicinal materials, so if we invest the money, we can sell the medicinal materials we grow. In time, every family can develop. This is a long-term strategy. Village Chief, since everyone has voted, why not sign and let us sell the medicinal materials and divide the money?"

Roshan Evans had grown to hate Peter Brown. Gossip had spread throughout the village that his ex-wife Hellen Brown had become Peter Brown’s woman. Seeing the villagers influenced by Julien Jones and the others, he immediately started causing a scene.

As he stirred things up, the villagers thought of the 100,000 yuan and their eyes lit up. They believed that if they really received that much money, they could do many things, which was much better than putting it in the Flower Creek Group, a company with no apparent hope. For a time, many villagers demanded that Grayson Walter withdraw their shares.

Grayson Walter looked at Peter Brown and sighed, "Shall I sign?"

Peter Brown nodded slightly and said, "Sign it. From now on, how I operate the company is my own business."

Grayson Walter quickly signed the document.

Seeing that Peter Brown also stamped his official seal on it, it was as good as done. Many villagers had smiles on their faces, as they were happy thinking about the large sum of money they would soon receive.
