Chapter 888: Guess the Secret

In fact, it was very easy to find out why Green Fresh Supermarket’s stuff was selling so well. The answer was right at the fingertips. One could simply look online or ask a customer who went to the supermarket to buy vegetables.

After getting the result, his subordinate, Walter, had a complicated expression.

If this was really the reason, the Royal Forest group didn’t have any competitive advantage at all. Nothing was more important than health. With good health, one could enjoy money and power.

Peter looked at these investigation reports and listened to his subordinate’s reports. He was expressionless, but he was deep in thought.

Then, Peter asked seriously, “Do the things in that supermarket really have such a therapeutic effect, or is it just a publicity stunt? Deceiving those consumers is just to promote sales.”

He knew that vegetables and fruits were good for the body, but they had no medical effect at all.

Otherwise, if that were really the case, then there wouldn’t be the need for any hospitals in the world at all, right?

Because humans wouldn’t get sick at all.

Walter replied, “Boss, our people went to investigate. The things sold in that supermarket did indeed have some healing effects. It wasn’t a bluff. Previously, some of the influential families that we worked with had elderly people who weren’t in good health, but after eating their food, their bodies became better day by day, and they weren’t tortured by illness anymore.”

He now understood why a few days when he tried to buy the vegetables from the customers, no one paid him any heed. The buyers needed them to save lives. Furthermore, it was hard to get things from the supermarket.

When Peter heard this, his face darkened. He did not seem to believe it at all. He gritted his teeth and said, “I don’t believe this. There must be a secret behind this.”

His subordinate did not say anything.

Peter just sat in his office, waiting for the investigation report. Walter had personally participated in the investigation. The things that he had witnessed and experienced with his own eyes shocked him. It was not something that Peter could understand.

Peter said again, “Something must be going on at the production base of the things in this supermarket. There has to be a secret there. What we need to do now is to dig out these secrets and use them ourselves. We need to take down Green Fresh and reoccupy our market position. If we allow them to grow, Royal Forest will be squeezed out of the Chinese market.”

The Chinese market was huge. How could they be willing to withdraw just like that?

One could say that these foreign companies were taking advantage of the Chinese market. But this was completely voluntary. No sales were forced. The Chinese liked foreign products. Like everyone else, the grass was greener on the other side.

Previously, the items sold by Royal Forest’s Chinese branch accounted for 30% of the entire sales. If they really lost the Chinese market, Royal Forest would have a lot to lose. Therefore, they couldn’t lose this market no matter what. So they had to turn the table and defeat the other party. To do that, they had to find the secret to the other party’s success.

Peter thought for a moment and said, “Send people to the production base of the Taoyuan Village Green Fresh supermarket. We must get the secret.”

If that didn’t work, they would use another method to suppress Green Fresh supermarket and seize back the market.

Walter immediately understood and said, “Understood, Boss.”

He turned around and began to make arrangements.

“Wait,” Peter stopped Walter and then ordered seriously, “Remember. This must not be traced back to Royal Forest. If possible, get a Chinese.”

This would make them fight among themselves.

Walter immediately understood and said, “Okay, Boss.”

After Walter left, Peter looked at the half basket of vegetables, his eyes dark and sinister.

Then, he took out a white radish. The white radish was white and fat, as thick as a man’s arm. It looked tender and moist, and he weighed it with his hand.

Then, he put the radish into his mouth and took a bite. His eyes were wide open when he stared at it, and his expression was that of surprise, just like the expression on his face when he took his first bite of the watermelon.

“This radish has a sweet and crisp taste. It can completely be used as a fruit and eaten raw.” Peter took another bite of the radish and said in a low voice, “Isn’t this taste a little too good?”

As someone who had been in the agricultural business for a while, he didn’t believe that someone could grow such amazing crops without using some secrets.

After taking a few bites of the radish, he took a small leaf of rape and put it into his mouth. It didn’t have a bitter taste at all. On the contrary, it had a sweet and fragrant taste.

Then, he looked at the other vegetables and asked suspiciously, “Can these be eaten raw?” This was too unbelievable and surprising for him.

Finally, he looked at a vegetable that looked like a bitter gourd and thought to himself, “This should be a bitter gourd, right? Can this bitter gourd be eaten raw?”

Peter took out the bitter melon and ate it raw. After a moment, he looked a little stunned.

He stared at the bitter melon in his hand, “This bitter melon retains its original bitter taste, but there is a sweet fragrance in it. It is bitter in the mouth, but after swallowing it down the throat, there is a fresh fragrance.”

Peter muttered, “It’s really strange. These vegetables and fruits maintain their original unique taste, but everything also has a charming, sweet fragrance. Moreover, each sweet fragrance is different from the others. When combined with the food’s original taste, it produces an even more alluring taste. This goes against the principles of nature.”

“Could it be that…” Peter narrowed his eyes and said, “The source of the sweet fragrance is the secret behind the food’s healing effect?”

Peter immediately made a phone call, and not long after, a woman came into the office.

“Boss!” The female secretary greeted.

Peter pointed at the half basket of vegetables and said, “Send these things to the laboratory. I want to know the results as soon as possible!”

Royal Forest group was such a big company. Of course, it had its own research laboratory.

“Yes, Boss!” The female secretary answered and walked out with the basket.

Half a day later, the results of the laboratory were out. The speed was really fast.

The female secretary took the test report to Peter and said, “Boss, this is the test report!”

Peter took the report and opened it to take a look. His pupils suddenly constricted. Then, he ordered the secretary, “Go and call Oscar over for me.”

Oscar was the person in charge of the test results.

After the female secretary left, Oscar came over.

When Peter saw him, he took the report and waved it. He looked a little anxious and asked, “Oscar, it says here that there’s this active substance that is beneficial to the health of humans. What does it mean?”

Oscar said excitedly, “Boss, where did you get this vegetable? Is it something new by Royal Forest? This active substance is a new type of substance. Although I haven’t figured out what it is yet, I can be sure that this active substance is beneficial to the human body…”

Oscar rambled on with a bunch of technical terms.

Meanwhile, Peter fell into another wave of thought.
