Chapter 730: Wine hits the market (2/2)
Due to Raunak's supports, they are stumped in bureaucratic ways. They didn't dare to make false accusations.
Faction 1 is happy about this though. They are already sick of faction 2 hoarding the wine industry. They are thinking of contacting the owners behind the brand. When faction 2 got wind of the news, they also tried to track Sam back and the next week passed like that.
On the fifteenth day of Sam's arrival to the city, Ragad who took a beating from Sam entered the city to get into contact with Sam.
He got the information from the administrative office and learned that Sam is currently staying in the town brewing.
When he saw the name, he is a bit hesitant and when he reached the town which is only a few hours away and met with Sam. His blood ran cold. He wanted to kill Sam right away, but when he thought of what is going to happen if he risked anything, he controlled his urge and had a talk with him as if they met for the first time.
But the talks are not extremely successful. Sam clearly didn't show any interest in selling the whole brand, he rejected him and sent him back.
”I hope you will contact us before anyone else when you decide to sell it. Or you might not be able to sell anything at all”
Ragad left a veiled threat.
”You are so sure, that I would sell it?”
”You would have to sell it one day.”
”If that day really comes, I will conduct another auction, and don't worry since the deal between us regarding the molasses and the bagasse is on, I would give you a five percent discount if you really outbid the competitors.”
”It seems like you are really planning to sell it in the auction. You are really good at taking advantage of the situation.”
Sam chuckled without any reply and Ragad also left to inform the superiors.
The same thing happened with Faction 2 but they didn't get any form of reassurances or discounts. Now the superiors in the city are also interested in Sam and the way he did things was investigated.
His sudden rise in the Cane's town was investigated and all they could find out is that he followed Raunak out of the town along with his promotion.
Apart from that, everyone also learned about the assassin sent to kill him but mysteriously dying with his whole body burned, along with the envoy burning in the same way almost dying.
This made them feel a bit more cautious and didn't let them make any rash moves.
For all they know, there might be someone supporting him from behind the scenes.
But the faction 2 is not willing to take this lying down. In the winery of the city, there is a special meeting held between the faction members that call the shots in this planet. The city head is only a Transcendent realm and he is also in charge of the whole planet which is a bit surprising, but that things worked.
From what Raunak said, all the working people and leaders are Transcendent stage cultivators in all three planets.
Except for Planet 1 where the initial stage Consummate realm cultivators take the jobs. The higher level cultivators take some more serious talks that are related to the business and settlements in the neighboring realms while the elders are all late-stage Consummate realm cultivators and beyond and that includes the King or Queen that is going to be elected.
Anyway, back to the meeting in the Winery, the person in charge of the Winery is yelling at the top of his lungs for the past week. The stock for the bars is sent on a weekly basis and since elves like living in vanity, they drink a lot.
But in the past week, their orders are dropped by a lot and their income reduced drastically.
So the current meeting atmosphere is extremely sullen.
”We were informed that we shouldn't take any direct action that can be punishable by law against him. Neither should we target him by using underhanded methods. The superiors ordered us to battle his business in purely business methods, so I would like you guys to tell your views and ideas.”
The person in charge of the factor, who happened to be a mature lady asked all the subordinates that are in managerial positions sitting in front of her.
Seeing their silence, her gloomy mood only worsened and she said.
”I don't care whether you want to say it or not. But if the sales don't get back to what it was in the next week, you can forget about your salary for the month.” She gave a cold warning before leaving the room.
