Chapter 19: Hope!
The shock of everything made the villages woozy. But Uncle Rufung was not done talking yet. "Everyone, the boss also said that tonight, there will be a feast, courtesy of our Company!... You are all invited, because it will be there that Boss Gort will talk about the buyers' thoughts."
Good, good, good.
There was an immediate uproar, as many now rushed forth to ask if they needed any help when preparing the emails for tonight's festivities.
Uncle Rufung shook his head sideways.
Gort had told him there was no need for that. The company has actually been planning for tonight's festivities for a few days now. It was going to be an outdoor one in an open space not too far from the company. They chose a certain slope that looked like a prairie.
Everyone was invited, even those who weren't 'shareholders.'
But while everyone was concerned with the upcoming festivities, now within the company, several people's minds were getting blown when calculating just how much profit they'll be making at the end of it all.
Only now did Hendo, Frosh, Old Axe and several other elders understand how profitable Gort's products really were.
Is this the difference between a genius and them?
Their products from farming could never raise so much money. But sure enough, if a genius goes through the route of Agriculture, his results will of course surpass theirs.
"Water... I need water..." Hendo felt that his old bones could t take the shock. The muscles along his jaws were twitching, and even his toes began curling the more he thought of it.
