The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 5825

He believed that the prerequisite to making money was to first do a good job with the tea leaves so that the money earned could be justified. It was precisely because of this passion and reverence that he had never been able to find a real opportunity to get rich overnight.

Those swindlers, on the other hand, were different. If they sold a batch of tea leaves for fifty dollars and possibly sold tens of thousands of batches of tea leaves in a day, they would easily make millions in profit overnight.

Sometimes when Gideon saw these people making so much money, he would also lose confidence in the tea industry. He felt that most industries would form a situation where bad money drives out good. If he did want to become bad money himself, he would only be pushed out by it. Rather than letting that happen, it would be better for him to cash out as soon as possible.

However, cashing out was not as simple as imagined. Take a bakery for example. The boss worked hard for a year, and although he could make tens of thousands of dollars, if the boss wanted to sell this bakery at ten times the price-to-earnings ratio, which meant selling it for over a million dollars based on the profit of the next ten years, that would only be a pipe dream that was not even worth considering.

The distributor conference today dealt another blow to Gideon. The agents were all asking to reduce the purchase discount from the original 50% to 40% directly, and they even threatened to reduce or stop purchasing if the group refused to agree to their terms.

A ten percent discount should not be underestimated. If something that cost fifty dollars was discounted to forty dollars, it would mean that it had been discounted by 20%.

If it were before, Gideon would have lost his temper in front of the agents, but he still forced himself to endure the anger, promising the distributors that he would carefully consider their proposal.

Gideon replied helplessly, “There's no other way. The people who came today are all agents from at least prefecture-level cities. They are the people that we have to depend on now, and we can't afford to offend any of them, let alone now when they are all united.”

“Why?” Wind said, looking displeased. “This is just price gouging and extortion. If I were you, I would have scolded them already!”

Gideon sighed and said, “It would have been fine for us to scold them and fight back in the past. After pushing a little, everyone would take a step back and make some concessions so everyone would be satisfied in the end, but the situation now is different…”
