Great! Great!
What Gort proposed was exactly what they wanted!
Many people suddenly regretted why they didn't come today with trucks to take their beloved goods home.
"Just one more question brother Gort…" Payne Hanberg interjected everyone's happy mood. "... Brother Gort, are there any side effects to these artificially grown products?"
Something that grows so unnaturally with such abilities must have side effects, right? Everyone paused, looking at Gort with heavy faces.
"Side effects?" Gort chuckled. "None."
He even dared to say that the original impurities and troubles found in naturally grown plants didn't exist in his.
Gort leaned forward with a brimming smile. "Aren't I giving you samples to take him?"
"Ladies and gentlemen… I can assure that my products will be the foothold for humanity's longevity!"
*****
It was not an exaggeration to say that the first meeting with the buyers was a success.
However, to test the 'truth' about these artificially grown products, Gort had arranged 3 sets of boxes for each potential buyer.
Their secretaries, drivers and staff who came with them were given one box too. It was amazing to know that Gort didn't hesitate to slice and cut these giant products when dividing it up.
Gort was confident that these sliced fruits would stay the same and wouldn't rot or show signs of decay any time soon.
Payne Hanberg came into the village with a doubtful look, but was leaning with smiles so wide they could brighten up the skies.
All buyers were happy, driving out from the company and even waving at the villagers while leaving. Those who were scared earlier, now had relaxed expressions.
Indeed, they witnessed a miracle.
In their vehicles, some had already taken some slices of watermelon out of their boxes to eat during the trip back to the county. The appearance and disappearance of these great people only made the villagers boiling and burning with anxiety.
"Hey… these people were leaving with smiles on their faces… do you think it's because they were pleased with what they saw?"
"Yeah! Yeah! I think so too! They must definitely be happy with our products!"
"Hey… who made me Shareholder? Now, I can brag about OUR company's success!"
"Ahhh! When are the Fairbangs going to come out and tell us what happened there?"
"Where is Hendo? Where is Old Axe? You guys should just spill it out already, or I don't think I'll be able to sleep well tonight!"
****
One by one, the villagers became rowdy, not for anger, but from worry and anxiety.
It's indeed their investment, so it's only right for them to know.
Soon, Uncle Rufung stepped out with his chest easily high… though his body rejected his respect for these 'shareholders.'
"Everyone, Boss Gort wants me to let you know that the meeting was a success!"
In an instant, all the villagers slapped and hugged each other, jumping and moving around happily. These villagers were simple-minded people. All they wanted to know was if it was a success or not.
Of course those who didn't become shareholders, still felt Gort was bragging.
"Uncle, don't worry. It must be a lie." The one who spoke was Wen Po.
The Wen family has been against the Fairbang family for a long time because the Fairbang family has always been unanimously voted by the villagers to be the village heads for generations.
And each time, the Wen family always comes close but ends up failing. So how can they not hate the Fairbangs?
Despite the many tricks they pull and bribes, they still end up falling short. So if the Fairbangs say move right, they must try to convince people to move left. This is how they've always acted.
"Uncles… aunties… My father said that even if the buyers leave happy, it doesn't necessarily mean they will be willing to spend a Gwin on the so-called medicinal goods."
They are all farmers who have been selling their goods at the markets for years. Many times, people smile and promise to come back and buy from them, but never show up.
The next thing you know, these customers go to another stall and buy from someone else.
Tch.
Whether these buyers return for the purchase or not is not completely cemented right now. Well… Several people still listened to the young Wen Po, feeling that what he said made sense.
At worst, they felt all Gort and his family might be able to sell, are ordinary products harvested from the grounds. Even if they made any profits, it won't be as much as they promised everyone.
Hmph!
Everyone might not be able to even get as much as their original investments for a while now. And then… once these buyers realized that the goods they're buying don't have any super medical traits as promised, one could imagine the storm they'll be bringing on the Fairbangs!
Several people looked at Uncle Rufung, the 'shareholders,' the company building and everything else in contempt.
Just you wait…
Soon, they would be the ones crying.
