Moreover, the local workers at the food processing plant worked all year round except when they were sick.Even annual leaves weren't paid, and if they went on leave for too long, the owner would fire them outright.Now, they were being afforded paid leave where they were free to stay home, and the only thing they had to do was keep their mouths shut about the food processing plant being upgraded.With that being all they had to do for this treat, they would most likely comply.It would only cost a few dozen thousand dollars a month to convert them to their most loyal allies—not only would they fulfill what was asked of them without question, but their lips would also be sealed as long as they wanted, making the cost all the more worthwhile.Moreover, Merlin had every intention to bail on the owner—that was why he had agreed to return ownership of the factory and only asked for 100 grand USD back.After all, once Charlie had moved all the people out of that dead soldier base, the

Merlin's insight left the owner shocked, but he soon nodded in understanding. "I won't lie, sir—I have never even thought about all the things you've just said. It seems that I am very much lacking as a businessman, only knowing how to keep afloat what I have instead of showing vision and helping it grow and succeed."Merlin shrugged. "Well, in this case, you just have to stick to the plan—once we sign the agreement, you can send your workers home. Be sure to tell them that they are on paid leave, that they will be paid half in the next few months, and the remaining half will be given when they come back to work. In addition, they must maintain secrecy and most definitely not work elsewhere, or we will ask them to return our money or ask for further compensation."The owner nodded repeatedly. "No problem, sir! I will make sure that they take this very seriously—they all respect me enough and won't break regulations on purpose, anyway."Pausing, he then asked Merlin, "By the way, you

Seeing that the owner of the food processing plant was eager about the offer, Merlin decided to press the advantage, and he continued, "Why don't we put this in black and white? And I'll pay you half right away—that's 200 grand USD."The formal procedures can wait. All I need is for you to keep the workers in line and clear the place out while I finish the upgrades. The remaining 200 grand will come within two months."Pausing, Merlin then added, "And like I said, there's no need to rush the formalities—the food processing plant will stay under your ownership, so you won't have to worry about me defaulting."The other party thought about it, and he decided that Merlin was speaking sense.As long as the food processing plant didn't change hands, he didn't even have to bear any risks and could pocket 200,000 USD for free.If anything, it was probably impossible to have any other potential buyer provide the full payment up front, and it was far more ideal with an investor like Merlin

Forget five hundred grand—the owner would sell his food processing plant without hesitation, even if he was only offered 300,000 US dollars.For Merlin's part, he wasn't jumping to a deal. Instead, he asked for further details and even asked the owner to take him on a tour around the plant. Behind the main building was an employee cafeteria and several warehouses. He naturally noticed that with just around three hundred workers around, a factory this vast could easily hide thousands.In addition, there were about fifteen tons of canned products waiting to be shipped to the transit hub before it was shipped out, and it was worth about 40,000 US dollars in the current market price.After a full tour around the food processing plant, Merlin told the owner, "Well, I've seen everything, but I must be honest—it's way more dilapidated than I expected."The cost of renovations, repairs, and upgrading will be at least several million dollars. I don't like to dilly-dally when doing busines

Knowing that the owner had worked as a civil servant before, Merlin was therefore sure he knew his French and would have no trouble communicating.The worker led him to the owner's office, knocked, and said something in the local dialect before the owner looked up and waved at them from behind the glass door.With that, the worker entered with Merlin, and Merlin didn't wait to ask in French, "You're the owner here? I'd like to buy out this food processing plant."The owner's eyes lit up immediately at his words.He knew that the Oskians were rich, especially the ones who came all the way here to invest their money.As for him, he had tried for years to sell his plant but to no avail. Therefore, an Oskian coming directly to his doorstep immediately reignited his will to bail and enjoy retirement.He got to his feet right then as he told Merlin, "Oh, welcome! Please, take a seat!"He quickly told his worker to leave as he passed Merlin a bottle of mineral water, grinning, "Well,

That was why this canning factory was ideal, overall speaking.When Merlin arrived at the entrance of the food processing company, he noticed that there wasn't even a security guard inside. It certainly looked huge on the outside, but it was also old and almost rundown.The front compound was an open space of about 3,000 to 4,000 square meters, with a worn-out Fiat, bicycles, and cheap motorcycles that were modified beyond recognition parked all over the place.To the right was a loading and storage area—a cargo platform for convenient unloading, along with a single windowless building. Merlin had a hunch that it must be used for cold storage and other raw materials. There was a truck parked in front of the cargo platform, and several loaders were carrying fresh seafood covered with ice from it and moving it into the cold storage at the back.The back of the cold storage was connected to the largest factory floor, which should be the main processing line. There was a similar ca
