The Reclaimed Rose (Annalise and Steven) novel Chapter 738

Now that all the factories had resolved their survival issues, they quickly nodded. "It's not because we didn't trust you. It's because we didn't want to get conned again!"

At the mention of fraud, everyone chimed in. "With the demand decreasing, everyone's trying to secure partners for survival."

"But that's when fraudsters are most common."

"Some of them are actual businesses. After we spend a bomb trying to appease them, they hesitate to sign contracts with us. In the end, none put in any orders for actual production."

"That's because they can't pay the deposit." Many factory owners thought that the deposit policies protected them from losing even more money.

"When we first heard that you had a big order for us, we all thought you were a conman, too."

"We're in the peak of winter. It was impossible for anyone to send in such a big order to us!"

"But we also thought it wouldn't hurt to make the trip to meet you. Even if it was a fraud, we would only lose the transportation cost we spent today. It wasn't much, anyway."

Eric said, "You all have it really rough, huh."

Everyone sighed. Seeing how everyone was getting depressed over their past, I interrupted and said, "If I were you, I would get back to work at the factory now. For every minute you waste here, you could've produced more items."

Everyone agreed with me, and they hurriedly left.

…

On the way back to the office, Eric couldn't help but exclaim, "I hadn't expected that our products could become a means of survival for someone else."

"Yeah. I never knew things would be this bad during downtimes."

I calmly replied, "We're just about to start promoting it. We may not see the results we expect."

After a long silence, Sasha said, "I should work harder, too. Otherwise, you're going to leave me behind!"

"All the best!"

After contacting the people and telling them my requirements, they all told me that they knew more professional people who could introduce me to the right people.

There were people who were more culturally competent with the local cultures, and they also had better knowledge of how to carry out a marketing campaign more effectively.

Then, I said, "We can do this two ways. One, I give you money, and you get the project done for me."

Sasha's friends were rich, so they didn't care about money.
