Chapter 575: Chapter 569 Still So Awesome (Part 2)
However, even with 6000 acres of land, the annual yield of cloud mist tea will reach a terrifying figure, enough for 1 million people to drink twice a day and for a whole year. This number might seem huge, but when you think about the earth’s population, 1 million people isn’t too big of a number.
The only good thing is that the proportions of the two timelines differ. The ratio of the other timeline to the current one is 45:1. It only takes one year in this world to equal 45 years in the other. This timeline allows Finn Lewis to save a terrifying amount of cloud mist tea. He doesn’t have to worry about preserving these tea leaves as there are ample environmental conditions in Zero to keep their composition intact.
Now, on the other hand, Finn Lewis doesn’t have much of the other two types of tea, which have less effect. He has only planted a very small portion and has no plans to expand anytime soon.
Seeing what Finn Lewis’s people brought in, Evans Sutherland and Steven were both taken aback. However, Evans Sutherland quickly curled her lips in contempt, thinking of it as too stingy – just a box of tea. Finn Lewis ignored her, turned to Mrs. Johanna, and said, “Ma’am, this box of tea is enough for you to drink for over half a year. Also, Moon of West Lake is preparing to recruit private members again. I will have the person in charge of Moon West Lake offer your Covant family 12 invitation slots. As for how to allocate these places, it’s entirely up to you.”
“What is Moon of West Lake?” Evans Sutherland seemed confused and asked over from the right.
Without a doubt, Lewis the elder was efficient. Within a few hours, the key decision-makers of both companies’ management and board of directors had received his notice. Frankly speaking, those unaware of the situation at Flying Horse and Eldora were shocked at how far Finn Lewis had come. So, when representatives for the two companies sat together, the meeting consisted of more than 50 participants, stunning the hotel that hosted the meeting.
A massive undertaking like this could not possibly be hidden from the media. Moreover, Finn Lewis didn’t even try to hide it. So, as soon as these media companies noticed that Finn Lewis and the senior executives and shareholders of the two companies were in the same meeting room, they realized what it implied. Although Flying Horse and Eldora had collaborated before, they had never jointly participated in one meeting like this.
Of course, if you insist there was one, it was decades ago in Graham Kingdom. But since then, it had never happened. Presently, these two companies are still competitors. Hence, Volkswagen, which caught wind of the news a little late, had to call an emergency meeting. It’s not that Volkswagen reacted late, but being one of the earliest companies to collaborate with Flame Nation, it has deep-rooted connections with the Flame Nation government. So, their first move was to consult with the Flame Nation officials.
But now, as they came back to their senses, they realized that their two most formidable domestic rivals seemed to be up to something, taking a different route by collaborating with Finn Lewis. Volkswagen couldn’t ignore this because of Finn Lewis’s influence on Flame Nation’s officialdom, which even reached the highest level of government. Even provincial and ministerial officials found it challenging to meet with Finn Lewis.
In the meeting room, the participants from the two companies, although sitting separately, were easily identifiable. When Finn Lewis entered, although there were greetings exchanged between the two companies, the atmosphere was tense. Still, for some who merely had investments, it didn’t matter much, as it was just an investment anyway.
“Could the atmosphere in this room be any less heavy? I’ve brought you all here because we may need to cooperate in the future.” Finn Lewis went to the podium and spoke. As he spoke, everyone in the room immediately turned to him. Seeing everyone’s attention on him, Finn Lewis smiled then continued, “The reason is simple. I now own approximately 50.3% of Flying Horse Company’s shares. That’s just enough for absolute controlling interest. I also now own 78% of Bavarian Mechanical Manufacturing Factory’s shares. That means, from now on, both of these companies can be considered mine.”
