Chapter 337: Chapter 336: Leading Everyone to Make Money

Everyone sat down in the courtyard of Peter Brown’s house. Reuben Taylor quickly said, "Conditions here are a bit tough, we’ve brought some stuff along this time, let me carry them in."

Seeing Peter still treating him with the same attitude as before, Reuben felt rejuvenated. He opened the trunk and began to unload various ingredients they had prepared.

When Peter looked at him, he clearly noticed a huge change in the young man. Before, he had a sense of superiority in front of Peter but now, he completely lost that feeling and seemed to take pride in being able to help.

Noticing this change, Peter realized that it was all due to power.

It crossed his mind that the principles of the Cultivation World, "Power is everything, the strong are respected", though sounds nonsensical, there is some truth in it. After all, human nature is selfish. If he can’t provide something for them, why would they follow him?

With this newfound understanding, Peter began to embrace the cultivators’ perspectives.

By this point, Peter had completely forgotten about Reuben’s affiliation with the Thompson Family, his opposition became a mere memory as his mind cleared up.

At that moment, Peter suddenly felt that his Cultivation Technique was operating more smoothly. His True Qi seemed to have gathered more than before. Despite barely entering the Qi Refining Fifth Level initially, he reached the middle stages of the Fifth Level after this moment of insight solidifying his cultivation level.

How did this happen?

Peter couldn’t help but feel surprised.

In high spirits, Peter went to help offload the items from the car.

Peter laughed and said, "You guys are far too generous. My place should be developed soon."

Seeing Peter helping out with the unloading, the few concerned individuals exchanged a glance and felt relieved knowing Peter had totally let go of his past concerns. This was indeed a welcome change.

After everyone helped unload the items and prepare the meal, Raven Walter and the rest arrived. Everyone busied themselves and the women took charge of cooking, serving up an elaborate feast.

Seeing everyone so lively, Raven Walter felt overjoyed. He wasn’t aware of the underlying situation but he knew his son had many friends who brought along lots of things today, which naturally made him more enthusiastic.

As everyone sat down, Raven Walter fetched some fine wine and said, "I’ve got good wine here, let’s all have a good drink."

As the atmosphere became merrier, Jelan Smith asked, "Peter, what’s the deal with this face mask?"

Looking at their inquisitive faces, Peter got an idea of what they were thinking - they saw this as an opportunity to make a fortune.

"I am no longer making wine, I’ve decided to venture into the face mask business."

Only the people from the Thompson Family and Peter knew about Phoenix Taylor’s situation. Peter didn’t want to talk about it; as long as Phoenix could help him make money, that’s all that mattered.

"Peter, tell us the truth, how confident are you about the face mask business in the market?" Charles Carter asked earnestly.

Peter smiled and said, "Let’s put it this way, the face mask will definitely go global because it has a unique formula just like my wine, and it’s also not cheap."

Everyone’s eyes lit up at this, and Jelan Smith asked, "Just like your wine?"

Daniel Pangbourne slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "What’s the most profitable business now? It’s earning money from women and children! Peter has great insight, he’s set his sights on women!"

Quinn Walker laughed, "What do you mean he set his sights on women?"

Daniel Pangbourne, looking at Quinn Walker, laughed and said, "I misspoke, I misspoke. What I meant to say is, he’s planning to make money from women. Hehe."

Everyone laughed heartily at this.

Millerd Williams said, "Indeed, if the quality of the face mask is truly unsurpassed, it will be a profitable venture."

Aurelia Green then shared, "Peter is planning to go big this time. Director_Wong from Southport has helped with the equipment procurement and recruiting management personnel, he’s taking care of the training too, soon Director_Wong will bring his team here. The scale of the company will be huge this time, with direct exports."

Hearing Aurelia’s words, Peter cast a glance at her, appreciating that she tactfully shared information he had been reluctant to disclose.

Aurelia may have only spoken a few words, but it was enough to discourage the people who had been considering investing in Peter’s business.

Peter hadn’t considered letting outsiders participate in his projects since the incident in Flower Creek Village. Now, he didn’t lack money either.

Just as expected, Peter Brown saw the mood of Jelan Smith and the others suddenly dampen.

Indeed, as Peter guessed, their arrival was motivated by the hope of finding an opportunity to buy shares. There were so many benefits to being a shareholder. Firstly, it would strengthen their relationship with Peter. Peter was quite enigmatic, and whatever he created would always bring profits, never losses.

Now that Aurelia Green had spelled out Peter’s intentions, they understood. Peter didn’t currently lack money and wasn’t going to let anyone interfere with his business.

At this point, Quinn Walker added, "Peter doesn’t need money right now. He can do everything by himself. It’s not beneficial for outsiders to interfere. Phoenix Taylor’s episode should teach us a valuable lesson. I support Peter’s independent operations. If anyone wants to get involved, my advice is to do so by starting from the upstream and downstream."

At Quinn’s suggestion, everyone began to mull it over seriously.

Peter slightly smiled and said, "There’s no doubt that our face mask product is going to be a big hit. Since you all are here, I could use your help with a problem."

"What’s the problem?" Charles Carter asked.

Peter answered, "The next step for our face mask sales will certainly involve large volumes, not only domestically but also abroad. As you know, I have contracted just a small piece of land. The medicinal herbs on that plot won’t be sufficient to support such a high volume of sales. Therefore, if any of you are interested, I would suggest that you lease more land to cultivate the herbal medicine that our company needs."

Jelan Smith’s eyes lit up. "Do you really need us to take on this task?"

"Of course, our face mask product hasn’t been launched yet. We don’t know if it’s going to sell well. I’m just putting forth a suggestion. You guys can decide for yourselves."

"What’s there to consider? I’m in. This time, I’ll invest all my capital. There’s no way I wouldn’t make a fortune partnering with you!" Daniel Pangbourne was the first to voice this.

The other few also expressed their intentions to invest in the cultivation of medicinal herbs.

Now that Peter had opened this door for them, everyone knew that this was their only opportunity to get involved. If they didn’t seize it now, there would be no chance in the future.

Reuben Taylor declared loudly, "Peter, I will invest all I have. This time, I’m going all in and will utilize all my connections to bet everything on this!"

Peter just smiled and said, "Don’t make it sound so serious. Following me will never lead to a loss. If you all are really determined, then go all in!"

Jelan Smith doubted, "Peter, your success in herbal cultivation must be due to a secret recipe. Your harvest was extremely bountiful in Flower Creek Village. However, the crops of the villagers died after you left. If we join in, can we ensure the crops would grow?"

Seeing everyone’s expectant eyes on him, Peter smiled slightly and said, "The herbs we are going to plant this time are not like those that require high conditions to grow. They are native to this land and would grow perfectly fine with normal cultivation methods."

"Oh, that’s great! If that’s the case, then we have nothing to fear!"

A sigh of relief passed around.

Deep down, Reuben Taylor was also relieved. His visit this time was influenced by his father’s guidance. His mission was to win Peter’s favor. It wouldn’t matter if he couldn’t restore their previous relationship, as long as he could gain Peter’s forgiveness.

Peter said, "To tell the truth, the demand for these herbs is very high. I originally planned to contract more land for cultivation using my own money. But now that you guys are taking up this task, I’ll leave it to you."

"Sure, we understand. You’re giving us an assist. Don’t worry, we’ll handle it well."

Peter said, "With the cultivation of these medicinal herbs, the regional economy will inevitably be revived and the living standards of the villagers will also improve. It’s a win-win situation."

Daniel Pangbourne said, "Peter, you actually built the houses in Flower Creek Village for nothing. Next, I guess your parents will also move to Old Well Village. The place where you guys are living now is not really up to par. I will arrange for someone to come here immediately and construct some villas."

Peter nodded. "That’s a good idea. I’ll be troubling you then, Brother Pangbourne."

"Don’t mention it! It’s just a minor matter," Daniel replied.

Finally, Reuben Taylor, who had been silent all along, said, "The county government has already started the process of developing Old Well Village. Focusing on your factory, they are planning to increase investments and implement a variety of preferential policies."

Peter understood that this was Secretary Taylor’s indication. He just nodded and said, "My main focus is Green Water Village. However, since this place connects with the county, I’ll carry out the projects here as well. I think my parents will probably live here. So I hope you all will take care of them."

"Of course, that’s a given!" Reuben Taylor immediately reassured while pounding his chest.

Peter said, "With the development of these projects, I believe that the poverty conditions in this county will be significantly improved."

Everyone looked at Peter, somewhat bewildered by his thoughts. Peter was now a global celebrity. If he wanted to make money, he could easily launch a project and it would be profitable in virtually any place, many of which offer better conditions than here. However, he was determined to develop here. They really didn’t understand his mindset.

But when thinking about how Peter could help so many others develop through his actions, everyone felt an increased sense of respect for him.
