Chapter 1270

There were two relatively large sales channels for his flour. One was the large supermarkets, such as Carrefour and Walmart. The other was through the medium-sized chain supermarkets such as those owned by the Ward family. The flour mill industry had relatively low technology content and there was also fierce competition. There were many big grain and oil brands such as Bertolli and Adolphus in China. Their brands were relatively strong and so, their products were also selling relatively well. There were also at least a few other local flour brands in every city. So, a small brand like his own would only be able to generate a certain amount of sales locally and his sales were very dependent on the sales channels. If the sales channels gave him more display positions and bought more of his goods, then he would be able to make more money. However, if the sales channels did not give him any display positions or buy any of his goods, then he would not be able to sell his flour. This was also the reason why several local grain and oil brands had also wanted to establish a good relationship with the Ward family. This was so that they could gain more resources and benefits from the Ward family and they would be able to greatly increase their own sales and profits. Therefore, both David and Leann had been willing to do anything possible to get into the Ward family’s good books. This was also the reason why Leann especially hoped that her son, Steve, would get together and end up with Mr. Ward’s daughter. If her son could marry Mr. Ward’s daughter and if his daughter could become her own daughter-in-law, then would she still have to depend on the sales channels to sell their family’s flour in future? Perhaps they would even be able to double their profits in two years and triple their profits in three years. At this time, Lisa looked at Leann with a slightly displeased expression on her face as she said angrily, “Leann, don’t you regard me as your friend at all? You did not even tell me that your son is going to get married. You had even asked me to help your son to get together with Mr. Ward’s daughter too! Aren’t you simply defrauding me?” When Leann heard this, she hurriedly pulled Lisa to the side as she said in a low voice, “Oh, Lisa! This is a long story. Let me tell you. It’s completely impossible for my son to get married today.” Lisa said angrily, “Who are you trying to deceive now? Your son’s wedding banquet is about to begin and you’re still trying to feign ignorance to try and fool me?”

Leann hurriedly explained, “Lisa, to tell you the truth, my son is really blind. He decided to marry a girl from a very impoverished family. This girl’s family is as poor and inferior as they could possibly be. She has been planning to marry into my family so that she could climb up the social ladder. In order to achieve her own goal, she even got herself pregnant with my son’s child. The reason why I decided to hold this banquet today is just because I want to embarrass her and make things difficult for her so that she would give up on my son.” Lisa asked, “What if this girl refuses to give up?” Leann sneered before she said, “Anyway, it’s impossible for me to allow her to marry into my family. It’s her own problem if she refuses to give up. That has nothing to do with the Carson family at all.” Lisa had a slightly more relieved look on her face. After that, she nodded before she said, “The reason why I’m looking for you is because I want to talk to you about the Ward family.” “What is the matter?” Leann was immediately very interested and she hurriedly asked, “What did Mr. Ward say?” Lisa replied softly, “Didn’t I tell you that Mr. Ward’s daughter had already returned from abroad? I also told you that she had a boyfriend who was a foreigner, right?” “Yes.” Leann nodded before she said, “Didn’t you say that she had already broken up with that foreigner?” Lisa sighed as she said, “Yes, the both of them had already broken up. However, they found out two days ago that this girl is pregnant…” Leann was stunned and she said, “What? Pregnant? Was she impregnated by that foreigner?” Lisa replied helplessly, “Yes! The main point is that this girl is really very stubborn. She insists on giving birth to this child. Mr. Ward only has one daughter. If his daughter gives birth to a child without getting married, then where would he put his face in the future?” “Indeed…” Leann smacked her lips together and said, “This matter is indeed a little difficult.” After that, Lisa looked at Leann with a profound expression on her face as she said, “Leann, I have a very good deal for you right now. Don’t blame me for not looking out for you.” Leann hurriedly said, “Tell me about it, Lisa!” Lisa said cautiously, “Mr. Ward’s wife told me in private that if Steve is willing to marry her daughter and if he’s willing to become the father of her child when she gives birth, then Mr. Ward will be willing to give you a dowry of thirty million dollars. Moreover, he would also reserve more shelves in all of his supermarket chains exclusively for you in the future!”
