Chapter 84: Chapter 84: A Little Confused

"Jensen, I need your help with something." After consulting with everyone, Peter called Jelan Smith, the CEO of the City Real Estate Company.

"Peter, what is it?"

Jelan Smith saw that it was a call from Peter, so he went directly outside to talk.

"Well, I was hoping you could send some people over to help us plan for the village."

"Wait, plan for the village?" Jelan Smith was honestly taken aback.

Peter explained: "Our village currently has 71 families. I plan to build 71 villas and would like your team to help with the design."

Jelan Smith was astounded: "That’s easily not less than twenty million!"

"Yes, the estimated cost is around thirty million."

"Peter, your village might have low labor and material costs, but that’s still a lot of money. Can you afford it?" Jelan Smith was honestly puzzled by Peter’s plans, and felt as if he’d been living his life wrong when he thought about how Peter had come out of prison and immediately started a massive project.

Peter knew what Jelan Smith was thinking, so he explained his plan to start a wine factory and plant medicinal ingredients.

Jelan Smith didn’t pay much attention to the part about planting medicinal ingredients, but he was well aware of the benefits of Peter’s wine, and quickly asked, "Is it the same wine are you selling right now?"

Peter explained: "Definitely not, it’s too expensive and the ingredients are hard to find. I’m aiming to produce a weaker version, and even then it’s still very good."

What Jelan Smith cared about the most was the health benefits of the wine, and he asked: "What specific effects does it have? Can it boost men’s vitality?"

Peter laughed, because he knew Jelan Smith was seeing potential and said, "My wine definitely has health benefits. It can soothe minor ailments, and the effects on boosting vitality and nourishing the body are quite significant."

Jelan Smith slapped his thigh and said: "If you can mass-produce this wine, it will definitely sell well. If that’s the case, we don’t have to worry about your wine having no market."

"That’s certain. Edward Martin has already claimed the general agency for this province."

"What?"

Jelan Smith, who clearly knew Edward Martin, was taken aback when he heard that Edward had claimed the general agency for the province. He quickly said: "Leave a few provinces for me!"

Jelan Smith clearly understood the potency of Peter’s wine. Even if it was greatly diluted, as long as Peter guaranteed that it still had major health benefits, he was certain it would be a bestseller.

After some thought, Jelan Smith proposed: "Peter, how about this? We can talk about the general agency matters and then you can let my engineering team handle the construction based on your plan. We guarantee the quality, and in return, you can use the wine to offset the construction costs. How does that sound?"

Peter was, of course, open to this arrangement. He said, "Fine, the wine will be produced soon anyway. We can start construction at that time."

"Peter, it’s not easy for anyone. Your wine is going to take off and you haven’t informed the others yet. If you don’t let them know in time, they might not be too happy. Hehe," Jelan Smith said, in high spirits after discussing the general agency matters with Peter.

Only then did Peter think about his buddies in the county. He nodded his approval.

Indeed, when Peter revealed his intention to make health wine, everyone had already become convinced of his ability to produce quality products. As a result, multiple provinces’ general agencies were claimed by them.

Peter didn’t charge them too much for the agency fee, only 2 million per province. This was a friendly price,

The buddies all understood that they had gotten a great deal from Peter with such a pricing. Given the promise of his wine, they anticipated not even being able to get it for 5 million in the future.

Everyone had connections, and word of Peter’s plans for the health wine somehow leaked. Suddenly, phones started ringing, with potential buyers—and these were all wealthy individuals. In a flash, twenty-three provinces, five autonomous regions, four municipalities, including the general agencies, were all claimed. It was so quick Peter was confused. Even when the price was raised to 3 million, these people had agreed without any hesitation.

The owner of the East Sea Gemstone Casino, Sebastian Taylor, and the renowned jade and gemstone beauty, Maisy Spencer from the province, even claimed an agency for a province having heard the news.

Watching the money pour into his account, Peter was a bit flabbergasted and didn’t really understand the situation.

After completing this task, only then did Peter think about the production problem. Given the circumstances, his current production capability might not suffice.

This wouldn’t do. Peter didn’t have the capacity to handle this all on his own. He needed to find a professional manager to take care of it.

Peter had never imagined that he would be overwhelmed by the sudden influx of demand and it was making him feel uneasy.

Thinking of this, Peter hurriedly called Edward Martin.

"Edward, we’re in a bind!"

Peter started to complain.

"What happened?" Edward was stunned. He had never seen Peter complain before and thought it must be something serious.

Upon hearing Peter’s account, Edward was equally astonished: "I thought I was the only one who saw the potential profits here. I didn’t realise so many others had the vision. This is a loss. If I had known, I would have claimed the general agency for a few more provinces!"

At this point, Edward deeply regretted his decision.

"Edward, I’m freaking out. How do we handle this? We definitely can’t keep up with the production demands."

With a chuckle, Edward said, "How many wineries these days produce everything themselves? They all contract production to other factories. The key to your health wine is the recipe for the medicinal ingredients. As long as you can find good quality wine, you can process it yourself."

Peter finally understood, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "Do you know anyone who’s experienced in this area? I need a professional manager. If not, I’ll be confused."

"I do know someone. He was the manager of a large wine factory, but due to some internal conflicts, he’s now staying at home. If you can convince him to join, he’ll definitely be able to help you."

"Really? There’s such a competent person?" Peter was delighted.

Peter wasn’t worried about betrayal or anything like that. Since becoming a cultivator, Peter had plenty of confidence. He was worried about incompetence. If the person was competent, Peter would certainly welcome them onboard.

"You can rest assured. Not only does he have a solid understanding of the domestic market, but he is also highly familiar with international markets. There’s absolutely no problem. However, he might not be willing to help."

"Okay, I’m heading to the provincial city right away."

Peter acted immediately and set off for the provincial
