I Can Control the Choices of Others! - Chapter 13
Chapter 13: Raul’s Rejection!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Seeing that the big boss was here, everyone looked at him with fawning eyes.
Especially the people who came from other places, all of them wanted to kneel down and lick Raul’s feet.
Because before this, even though the purslane was also being collected in large quantities, none of them offered a price as high as Raul’s.
In comparison, Raul was simply their God!
When the staff saw Raul, they quickly ran over and whispered to him.
“Mr. Raul, the amount we collected today is 50% higher than yesterday. You don’t have enough money left.”
“What? That’s $500,000!” Raul gritted his teeth and asked.
“Yes, sir. But ever since the news was broadcast, people from the nearby towns have come. We can’t reject them without your permission.”
“Damn it!” Raul cursed when he heard the report from the person-in-charge.
Originally, he had wanted to persevere and reduce the price by half before going to New York City to look for buyers.
But from the looks of it, he could not withstand it at all!
“Father, what do we do now?” Simon asked.
At this moment, his desire to escape grew stronger and stronger.
He understood the entire process the best. All the money in the family had been spent already.
Fixed assets were also mortgaged.
It could be said that they were on the road of no return if they continued to buy more purslane!
“Damn it, Shawn. If it weren’t for him, I wouldn’t have fallen into this!” Raul said angrily.
If I can just find a chance!
Did you think I’m done, Shawn?
Hmph, I still have one last solution.
The massive New York City is my last resort.
My goods will be sold out once I entered New York.
I can even successfully enter the market of New York.
When the time comes, not only will I get back everything, but I can even progress further.
Shawn, I’ll remember everything you’ve done to me!
A crazy smile appeared on Raul’s face as he thought of this.
He said to the person-in-charge of making the purchase, “Cancel everything. No matter who it is, we can’t afford it.”
“What?” The person-in-charge frowned: “If we cancel it like this, it might result in an uncontrollable incident!”
Uncontrollable?
Of course Raul knew.
But he had no choice now.
If he did not stop now, he would not even have the money to pay for his car petrol.
“Do it, stop first. I’ll take care of the explanation,” Raul said.
He had not lost completely.
After so many days of purchasing, these people would not immediately turn hostile, right?
As long as he appeased them and made a name for himself in New York City, he could come back to take over.
He could still force Shawn into a corner.
The person-in-charge left with a troubled expression.
Not long after, the crowd started questioning.
“What’s going on? Why did you suddenly stop accepting them?”
“That’s right. I’ve been collecting them all night and waiting to sell them.”
“Why? Is it because we’re from another district?”
“No, no, no. You can’t do this. I paid for this. If you don’t accept it, I’ll be finished.”
“Please, please. Please, take mine. Just a little will do, please.”
…
“Sorry everyone, this is Mr. Raul’s notice,” the person-in-charge said under the pressure.
“Impossible, impossible. Mr. Raul is a good person. How could he be like this?”
“Yes, yes, you must have acted on your own.”
“You can’t do this. You don’t know what I’ve paid to obtain the purslane!”
“Where’s Master Raul? We want to see him. You can’t act so arbitrarily.”
“That’s right. We want to see Master Raul, the Great Philanthropist Raul.”
…
“I’m sorry, everyone. The acquisition ends here. You can try your luck at Shawn’s place,” the person-in-charge said as he wiped his sweat.
“No, we have to meet Master Raul.”
“That’s right. This is a promise from Master Raul. We have to sell everything to you today no matter what.”
“You’ve bought so much already, this bit is nothing much. I believe the kind Master Raul will take pity on us.”
Looking at the crazy crowd, the person-in-charge became even more nervous.
He retreated again and again, afraid that these people would start a riot.
After all, guns were legal in this country, he did not dare to risk his life.
The person-in-charge shouted: “Everyone, you can go back first. Master Raul is just not accepting it for the time being. After we clear out the warehouse, we will give you an explanation.”
Next, he added: “That’s right. Our warehouse is full, and we can’t keep any more. Also, there’s a problem with the funds. Master Raul is going to solve this problem. Please believe us. Please believe Master Raul. He will definitely come back with the money to continue helping everyone become rich.”
But the discontent in the crowd intensified.
“No, we don’t believe you. You must be lying to us. Where’s Master Raul? Let him speak.”
“That’s right. Who are you? You can’t make such a big decision.”
“We want to see Master Raul.”
The acquisition had been going on for three to four days.
Most of the locally found purslane had already been harvested.
In order to earn money, many people went out to buy more purslane.
This was a great way to make a living.
They could sell it just like that, it was simply picking up money.
After trying a few times, they completely lost their caution and started a large number of acquisitions.
In order to earn more, many people sold their houses, farms, cars, and loans to increase their stock.
They thought that they could earn a huge sum of money and reach the peak of their life.
However, he did not expect that Raul would stop the acquisition without a word.
This was a devastating blow to them.
Not only did they set up some external acquisitions, but the amount of goods they had now was enough for them to go bankrupt.
How could they possibly stop?
Raul, who was standing outside, looked even more awful.
The rioting crowd became more and more intense. He knew that the person-in-charge could not control it at all.
Once the uprising increased, not only would his acquisition have to stop, but he would also not be able to take away the things piled up in the warehouse.
At this thought, Raul took a deep breath and prepared to bring his son, Simon, in to persuade them.
No matter what, he had to stabilize these people first.
Raul turned back and motioned for Simon to follow.
Simon nodded and kept glancing around.
At this moment, Raul did not pay much attention to Simon’s small actions. He tidied his clothes and led Simon into the crowd.
“Master Raul is here.” Someone shouted and everyone fell silent.
They stared at Raul with a burning expression.
Countless gazes were filled with various emotions.
There was dissatisfaction, doubt, anger, and some anticipation.
Raul felt the unparalleled pressure of the gazes gathered on him.
This was the most terrifying moment of his life.
He had no doubt that these people would not let him off if he could not resolve it.
Raul came to the acquisition counter, trembling.
Looking at the dense crowd below, Raul swallowed his saliva and said, “Everyone, listen to me…”
