The Luckiest Dumb Doctor

Chapter 191: Forced Buy, Forced Sell_1

Greg Jensen walked into the tea room, where Chestor Ware was already waiting for him.

“Little brother Greg, you’ve finally arrived.”

“What’s the matter?”

Greg Jensen asked in surprise, “Is there a problem with the contract?”

Chestor Ware sighed and said somewhat sheepishly, “There’s no issue with the contract itself, but there’s a problem with the purchase of the Jamae Herbs Factory.

We had already signed the letter of intent and were ready to audit the assets and sign the formal contract when Jay Brent from Jamae City suddenly stepped in.”

“Who is Jay Brent?”

“A big shot in Jamae City’s underworld.”

Greg Jensen was stunned and muttered, “Isn’t Wallace Carter the big shot of Jamae City?”

“Wallace Carter is history, he has already started to go legitimate. He can’t touch those messy dealings from before anymore.”

Chestor Ware continued, “Jay Brent rose to power after him, and it is said that his strength eclipses that of Wallace Carter in his prime.

Now he also wants to go legitimate, but the resources in Jamae are so limited; if we take a bigger bite, it leaves less for others.”

Greg Jensen still found it strange and said, “Then just go by the price, right? Sell it to whoever offers more.”

Chestor Ware gave a wry smile and said, “That would be true, but this Jay Brent simply doesn’t play by the rules.

Whenever someone shows an interest in the Jamae Herbs Factory, he uses all sorts of methods to drive them off, forcing the seller to offload the factory to him at a bargain price.”

Greg Jensen frowned and asked, “So what’s his excuse this time for messing with us?”

“Jay Brent claims that he has an economic dispute with the factory’s boss, Anton Stuart, and he’s warning us not to buy the Jamae factory. Otherwise, our investment will be for nothing.”

“If there’s a debt dispute, let them sue Anton Stuart, what’s it got to do with us?”

Greg Jensen smiled and said, “Chestor, don’t worry about it. You just go ahead and buy the factory; I’ll handle the rest.”

Chestor Ware hesitated, “I’m afraid that even if we do buy the factory, it might not operate smoothly.”

“No need to worry, just buy it first and then we’ll talk.”

“Alright, I’ll go and sign the contract with Anton Stuart tomorrow.”

Chestor Ware trusted Greg Jensen completely, and upon hearing what he said, immediately agreed to do it.

After seeing Chestor Ware off, Greg Jensen drove to Dreamscape Garden.

The construction of Dreamscape Garden had begun, and amid the roar of the excavators, a canal leading to Jamae was gradually taking shape.

At the same time, the cleaning of the pond, the pruning and planting of flowers and plants, as well as the interior and exterior renovation of the buildings, were all being carried out simultaneously.

A small house nearby was quickly set up to serve as the office of Dreamscape Garden.

When Kingsley Harrison saw Greg Jensen arrive, he quickly stood up to greet him: “Mr. Jensen, you’re here.”

“Hmm, how’s the renovation coming along?” Greg Jensen asked.

Kingsley Harrison smiled and said, “In half a month at most, it will definitely be completed. We can open for business within a month.”

“Good work.”

“It’s my duty.”

Kingsley Harrison smiled briefly before he quickly instructed his secretary to pour tea for Greg Jensen.

Greg Jensen took the cup and sipped, then casually asked, “Have you hired the chefs?”

“We’ve recruited a few young ones who are currently training at the Reverie Inn. When we open, Chef Chen will come back here to take charge.”

“Hmm.”

Greg Jensen nodded and suddenly remembered something, “There’s something I need to talk to you about.”

“What is it?”

“Dreamscape Garden will be featuring high-end private dining. It’s essential to raise the caliber of the servers, both in appearance and service quality. Make sure that is sorted out beforehand.

Moreover, as for the ingredients, we will be supplied by Peach Blossom supermarket; we don’t want any ordinary vegetables.”

Kingsley Harrison quickly nodded, “That’s no problem. We are already recruiting service staff, and the new lobby manager will be in place soon. He can handle the training when he arrives.”

“That’s good. You’ve worked hard during the opening period.”

“Haha, it’s not hard at all, just normal work.”

Greg Jensen smiled gently, “How is the old man’s health now?”

“He’s almost recovered. He can now sit up, and with a little more training, it looks like he should be able to get out of bed and walk.”

“That’s good to hear.”

Kingsley Harrison gratefully said, “It’s all thanks to Mr. Jensen; otherwise, my dad’s illness…”

Greg Jensen laughed, “Uncle Zhang, don’t be formal with me. At work, we’re employee and boss, but privately, I am your junior.

If you’re still formal with me, I really wouldn’t know what to do.”

“Hahaha.”

Kingsley Harrison felt relieved and laughed joyfully, “Alright, then I won’t stand on ceremony with you.

I’ll take care of Dreamscape Garden, and I’ll definitely do a good job even if it costs me my life.”

“No, your health is more important. If you really wear yourself out, Auntie Li will come to me.”

“Haha, I can’t let that happen.”

Greg Jensen chatted with Kingsley Harrison for a while and was about to leave when suddenly his secretary walked in and said:

“Mr. Zhang, a Ms. Han would like to see you. She says she supplies us with food ingredients.”

“A Ms. Han?”

Kingsley Harrison hesitated, then said, “Let her in first.”

“Okay.”

After a while, a woman in her thirties, slightly overweight and dressed in a business suit with a coat over it, was led in by the secretary.

Her fiery red lips were aggressively striking.

Upon entering, she surveyed the office, then casually placed her bag on the coffee table and took a seat on the sofa.

Kingsley Harrison was taken aback, exchanged a glance with Greg Jensen, and they looked at each other in surprise.

Kingsley Harrison asked, “Hello, you are…?”

“You don’t recognize me?”

The woman seemed surprised, paused for a moment, and scrutinized Kingsley Harrison, her mouth curling in disdain.

Kingsley Harrison’s expression stiffened, and after glancing at Greg Jensen, he replied awkwardly with a forced smile, “I’m new here and not very well-informed. Please forgive my ignorance.”

“Heh, you foreigners sure are bold, daring to come to our Jamae to do business without any connections.”

The woman snorted, “Let me introduce myself. I am Lena Holmes from Trigova Trading Company. Our company primarily deals in seafood, vegetables, and various freeze-dried seasonings.”

Kingsley Harrison feigned realization, “Oh, so you’re Ms. Han from Trigova Trading Company. What brings you here this time?”

Lena Holmes shifted to a more comfortable position and looked at Kingsley Harrison calmly, “I’m here to discuss a potential collaboration with you.

This is a preliminary contract I’ve drawn up. Take a look, and if there are no issues, we can sign it right away.”

Greg Jensen burst into laughter at Lena Holmes’s words.

“And this gentleman is…?”

Lena Holmes frowned slightly, her expression somewhat displeased.

Kingsley Harrison hastily said, “Oh, this is our boss, Mr. Jensen.”

“You’re the boss here?”

Lena Holmes gave Greg Jensen a look, “Alright then, it’s the same if I discuss it with you.”

Greg Jensen shook his head with a smile, “Sorry, but I have nothing to discuss with someone who coerces others into deals.”
