Henry Shaw brought Samuel Reed to a place with few people.

"Mr. Shaw, this time we organized a hundred baskets of honeysuckle in one go. What we're afraid of is that the villagers will find out about this location and come to deliver the goods themselves. You don't know, the purchase price in Xiagou Village is fifty yuan, and this news has already spread. People from all the villages know about it."

"How much did you pay for the purchase?" As soon as Henry Shaw heard this, he understood that Samuel Reed and his group's purchase price was probably not high.

With a sly smile, Samuel Reed said, "You set the minimum at ten yuan, so we bought at eleven yuan per kilo."

Henry Shaw shook his head, looked at Samuel Reed, and said, "You guys, you can never make all the money in the world. This really is a one-off deal!"

Samuel Reed pulled a long face and said, "At first, everyone was eager to deliver the goods, but now that they've found out about this, I think they might come here to deliver the goods themselves!"

"How much did you collect this time in total?"

"It's all been delivered."

Henry Shaw immediately did the math: one hundred baskets at a time, each basket is fifty kilograms, that's five thousand kilograms!

Thinking of this, Henry Shaw was also startled. He really hadn't expected Samuel Reed and his group to be so capable, getting so much goods at once.

Seeing Henry Shaw's look of astonishment, Samuel Reed was quite proud, grinning, "Mr. Shaw, I still owe everyone some money. Should we settle up now?"

Henry Shaw pointed at Samuel Reed and laughed, "You're impressive!"

"Come with me."

Having already prepared, Henry Shaw and Samuel Reed settled the accounts.

Samuel Reed and his group spent less than sixty thousand to purchase so much honeysuckle. Henry Shaw agreed to pay them fifty yuan per kilo, so after settling the accounts, Samuel Reed made a profit of one hundred ninety thousand.

Looking at the pile of money that Howard Grant had prepared and handed over, Samuel Reed's whole body was trembling.

"Shang... Shang... Mr. Shaw, that's so much!"

"Samuel Reed, let me give you a suggestion. If you listen to me, you might be able to earn a bit more."

"Mr. Shaw, go ahead." At this point, Samuel Reed was truly convinced by Henry Shaw.

"Since the villagers know the purchase price now, it's definitely hard for you to get goods at the old price. But, if you buy at forty-five yuan per kilo, there will still be some people who don't want to come here themselves, and you can still collect some goods and make a bit of money."

Samuel Reed nodded, "Looks like that's the only way. But with such a big sum, the three of us are already satisfied. Now we can get married!"

When they finished talking and came out, sure enough, a woman found Henry Shaw and shouted, "Mr. Shaw, right?"

"I'm Henry Shaw."

"Mr. Shaw, the villagers in Xiagou Village are selling at fifty yuan per kilo. We want that price too. Is that okay?"

Henry Shaw glanced at Samuel Reed, but Samuel Reed didn't say anything this time.

Henry Shaw had his own plans. Samuel Reed and his group bought at eleven yuan per kilo, but if he raised the price, everyone would be even more grateful to him. That way, the goodwill he received would definitely increase greatly. There was no reason not to do such a good thing.

"Auntie, if you can bring each basket with a full fifty kilograms and guarantee the quality, we can also purchase at that price."

The woman glanced at Samuel Reed and said, "You guys really got a good deal!"

Samuel Reed said, "I helped you all find a way to make money, what more do you want?"

Seeing Samuel Reed's glare, the woman didn't dare say anything more to Samuel Reed, and instead asked Henry Shaw, "How long will your purchasing station be open?"

"The house is already rented, so under normal circumstances, there will always be someone here to handle purchases. Once you've collected your goods, bring them over. I'll also be setting up some planting bases in Xiagou Village, so you can come find us then too."

People from several other villages discussed for a bit, then happily ran off to settle accounts with Samuel Reed.

Henry Shaw didn't bother with their business. Right now, he was already extremely excited inside, knowing that he finally had his startup capital.

He hadn't realized it before, but after doing the math, Henry Shaw felt a bit dizzy.

For every kilogram delivered to Stephen Clark, Stephen Clark paid him two hundred yuan. He spent less than sixty yuan per kilo to purchase the goods. Even after deducting some expenses, he still made one hundred forty yuan per kilo. Just from the five thousand kilograms delivered by Samuel Reed and his group, his income reached seven hundred thousand. If he added the goods from Xiagou Village and the ones he could continue to collect, making over a million was really not a problem!

The problem of making a living was solved!

The pressure from leaving the family was now greatly relieved.

"Mr. Shaw, about the contracting matter you mentioned, I'll go report to the township right away. Wait for my good news." Village Chief Frank Thompson also carried a basket of honeysuckle over. After getting paid for his basket, his face was full of smiles.

"Village Chief Thompson, how much more honeysuckle can be picked?" Henry Shaw was concerned about this.

"That'll take a few more days. All the honeysuckle on the mountain has been picked. It'll be a few days before it blooms again, but there should still be quite a lot of flowers, right?"
