Chapter 67 Finding a Honey Supplier
Chapter 67 Finding a Honey Supplier
Kent glanced at his son Sam, who was happily eating in the living room, and couldn't help but sigh.
My son will be attending a trainer school in the second half of the year.
Tuition fees, accommodation fees, and Pokémon training materials are another major expense.
At that moment, a woman with a graceful figure came up behind him and gently massaged his shoulders; this was his wife, Jody.
"Don't worry too much, there's always a way." His wife's gentle voice eased his tense nerves a little.
He turned to look at his wife and gave a wry smile.
When the company's cash flow was very smooth, he never considered the possibility of bankruptcy and actively participated in many public welfare donation activities to rescue wild Pokémon.
Looking back now, I realize I don't have much savings left.
"If all else fails, I'll have to lay off the workers first. Luckily, I have enough savings to compensate them, so I'll become a security guard myself," he said helplessly.
Just then, the office phone rang.
He answered the phone, and the purchasing manager's excited voice came through: "Boss, great news! I've contacted a supplier who's willing to supply us!"
He immediately sat up straight, his voice rising several decibels: "Oh, which one? Pleasant Goat Farm in Kanaz City or Fathead Fish Farm in Kaina City?"
The honey from these two companies is of very high quality, and they have a good relationship with the two estate lords.
However, under pressure from Rocket Entertainment, the two estates hesitated to supply him, even after he visited them several times.
"It's the Pokémon Manor in Littleroot Town, the one at the foot of West Mountain."
Snapped.
Kent tossed the phone onto the table, slumped back into his chair, and the excitement on his face vanished instantly.
"Honey, what's wrong? A supplier is willing to supply goods, isn't that a good thing?" his wife asked curiously.
Kent looked up at his wife and said with a wry smile, "There are suppliers, that's true, but it's that Pokémon Manor."
His wife clearly found the name familiar as well, and quickly realized, "Isn't that the one who used to be number one on the Hoenn region's manor rankings? I remember you and the manor's lord were friends."
"yes."
The boss sighed: "Back then, the reason why Three Bees Honey Company was able to develop into Queen Bee Honey Company so quickly was largely due to the high-quality honey provided by Pokémon Manor."
He recalled the past, his eyes somewhat dazed: "But Old Master Fang has been out of the manor for a long time and no longer participates in its operations. I've heard that his grandson, Fang Zhou, has taken over the manor."
More than half a month ago, he heard people talking about how Fangzhou had taken over that legendary manor. He originally wanted to come and check on it, but the company was in its most troublesome phase, so he didn't go.
We never heard from the child again after that.
"What quality honey can I possibly produce after only a month of running the estate?" he muttered to himself, his tone clearly disappointed.
That's it.
He tapped his fingers twice on the table, finally making a decision: "Let's go take a look together tomorrow."
The honey was one thing, but the main thing was to visit the grandson of an old friend.
Although the company is about to go bankrupt, he will still lend a hand if the child encounters any difficulties in running the manor, as a way of repaying the kindness of his deceased friend.
After all, the high-quality honey provided by Grandpa Fang was a great help in the development of the Three Bees Honey Company back then.
……
The next morning, a figure flew swiftly through the air.
"Good job, well done." Fang Zhou clapped.
"Ao Si~"
"Beep beep~"
The wind sprite poked its head out of the tropical dragon's backpack, jumped down, landed on the Ark's shoulder, and turned into a fluffy scarf.
The tropical dragon and the wind sprite are working together more and more smoothly, and now they can basically maintain high-intensity flight for ten minutes.
The wind sprites' magic area has been reduced to within half a meter of the tropical dragon's body, which is the appropriate distance they have tested many times.
It can ensure that the tropical dragon receives stable benefits from the Trick Space while flying, without wasting too much of the Trick Space's energy.
Meanwhile, Kirlia was also diligently preparing for the Grand Contest.
It recalled the moves Psyduck used when they were underwater.
The water surged rapidly, eventually forming a giant waterspout that connected heaven and earth.
Imagine you're humming an ancient song while using your superpowers to create a tornado during a match.
Then, as the tornado slowly rises, the clothes become visible when it reaches its highest point.
How beautiful it would be to descend slowly like a queen!
After Kirlia's Special Attack stat was boosted, she became increasingly adept at using Special Attack moves.
Close your eyes, and blue light will emanate from your body.
The superpower stirred up the surrounding wind, causing it to spin continuously.
It kept spinning faster and faster, and then...
boom!
It exploded.
The higher the energy, the more difficult it is to control, and the higher the skill requirements for the user.
Kirlia sighed and continued practicing; as expected, this move was not so easy.
Meanwhile, Chimchar was practicing various skills. Improving skill proficiency would boost the Pokémon's strength and help it reach the Gym level as soon as possible.
Just then, Fangzhou's phone rang.
"Hello, you must be Fang Zhou, right? I'm Kent, the owner of Three Bees Honey Company. It's been a long time, Fang Zhou. I'm planning to visit your estate to check out the quality of your honey."
"Okay, I'll wait for you at the town intersection."
A hearty laugh came from the other end: "No need, I probably know your manor better than you do."
Half an hour later, a large truck with the Three Bees Honey Company logo on the outside drove up from a distance.
Drip!
Fangzhou called for the other Pokémon to stop training, opened the door, and they all came to the entrance of the manor.
The car door opened, and a brown-haired man wearing a green shirt stepped out.
It's clear that although he was dressed very neatly, he couldn't hide the gloomy aura he exuded.
A woman in a pink dress followed behind.
"Xiao Fang, long time no see." The man walked up to Fang Zhou and gave him a big hug.
"Hello, Uncle Kent."
Although he had no recollection of it at all, that didn't stop Ark from pretending to be very familiar with it.
The middle-aged man surveyed the manor and the Pokémon behind the ark, his heart filled with mixed emotions.
He hadn't been here for many years, and when he returned, everything had changed.
"You've caught so many Pokémon already, that's impressive."
Kent was somewhat surprised to see the five generals behind Fangzhou, and when he looked at the well-organized manor behind Fangzhou, he was even more impressed.
The Fang family's farm farming skills are truly a product of genetic inheritance.
Grandpa is amazing, and his grandson is just as amazing.
"Uncle, shall we start looking at the honey now?"
Kent laughed and scolded, "You rascal, you won't even let me come in and sit for a while, you're in such a hurry. Alright, then let's take a look at the goods first."
Fangzhou smiled sheepishly, then looked curiously at Kent, whose hands were empty, and asked, "Are you going to examine it with your naked eyes?"
George is so nice that he even brought a magnifying glass, but he didn't bring any other tools or anything. I feel like he's not as professional as George.
"Didn't you bring any tools?"
The uncle laughed, "I've been looking at honey for decades. I can tell if honey is good or bad at a glance. These eyes of mine have never been wrong. Hurry up and bring it over."
Fangzhou clapped his hands.
"Buzz buzz buzz~" Several bees flew over carrying a jar of honey.
