Tried 307

    Chapter <b>307 </b>


    Ronald thought for a moment before saying, “Carmen’s got real talent. Let her truly settle down and devote herself to her studies. With the family’s support, it won’t be difficult for her to be a rising star in the art world.


    <b>“</b><b>As </b>for the Turner family, they’re not to be trifled with so easily. Aubree…”


    Just saying her name left a bitter taste in his mouth. He sighed, “Let’s <b>try </b>to get her to forgive us.”


    Daxton knew when to back off. After all, it was enough if Ronald had the intention to deal with the Turner family.


    Meanwhile, Aubree and Bowen had left Kroit City together<b>, </b>with one returning to Rithol City and the other to Südlichen Strand. Uponnding, Bowen went straight to <b>see </b>Alvin and told him about the two human traffickers.


    “Now that we’ve identified them, once Mark finds <b>them</b>, <b>it’ll </b>all be <b>over</b>. <b>You </b><b>can </b>focus on your studies with peace of mind. If you wanna join thepany, I’ll make <b>the </b>arrangements. If <b>not</b><b>, </b><b>just </b><b>go </b>and <b>be </b><b>a </b>renowned <b>artist</b><b>.</b><b>” </b>


    “Okay,” Alvin replied. This time<b>, </b>he didn’t argue further with Bowen.


    After Bowen left, Alvin picked up the photo<b>, </b><b>his </b><b>gaze </b>lingering on Gordon.


    Alvin thought to himself, ‘I’m not an idiot. can <b>tell </b><b>Bowen </b>is hiding something about <b>this</b>–something he doesn’t want me to know.


    ‘I know Mark is only helping me out <b>of </b><b>respect </b>for him. But I <b>can’t </b><b>just </b>take everything <b>at face </b><b>value</b><b>, </b><b>can </b><b>I</b><b>?</b>‘


    Then he sent out the photo with a <b>text</b><b>: </b>[Dig into this guy.]


    Upon arriving in Südlichen Strand, Aubree focused onpany affairs<b>. </b>GrabCheap’s <b>business </b>model <b>was </b>running smoothly, with user growth holding steady beyond the initialunch. Still, that alone <b>wasn’t </b>enough to <b>secure </b>a foothold in thepetitive <b>e</b><b>–</bmerce <b>market</b>.


    Just having an idea wasn’t enough for <b>sess</b>. And truthfully, without <b>the </b>backing of the Turner <b>Group </b>from the <b>start</b>, she wouldn’t havee this far so easily.


    The skepticism surrounding <b>her </b><b>wasn’t </b>entirely unfounded. The <b>e</b><b>–</bmerce tform market <b>was </b>indeed saturated at the moment. The market was saturated, and although she had gained a temporary <b>edge </b>through innovative moves, she <b>knew </b>it would take more to stay ahead.


    With the peak season for fresh produce behind them<b>, </b><b>GrabCheap’s </b><b>group</b>–buying revenue began to <b>dip</b>. But with attention shifting away from fresh goods, it was the perfect opportunity to promote other product categories.


    The tech teampleted <b>system </b>upgrades <b>to </b>support Aubree’s full<b>–</b><b>category </b><b>expansion </b><b>strategy</b>. With <b>a </b>solid <b>user </b><b>base </b><b>now</b>, she began weighing her options for external funding.


    Aubree thought, ‘If it were <b>just </b>about money, <b>I </b>could <b>cover </b><b>that </b>myself. But fundraising <b>isn’t </b>just about bringing in cash.‘


    She thought of yzy. In its early <b>days</b>, <b>it </bnded investments from both <b>the </b>Turner Group and the Matthews family–a move that keptpetitors from acting rashly. The <b>real </b>value of <b>fundraising </b><b>was </b>finding strong partners <b>to </b>share the risk.


    Aubree had already invested heavily in GrabCheap. If she sought funding, minor investors were out <b>of </b>the question. Only three major yers stood out: ChumBuy under Turner Group<b>, </b>JinnCee under Wilson Group<b>, </b>and Tengu Gruppe, the local <b>giant </b><b>in </b>Südlichen Strand.


    Naturally, Aubree crossed JinnCee off her list right away. Going <b>to </b>Bowen for <b>a </b><b>deal </b>with Tengu Gruppe would’ve been the easiest move, but easy didn’t mean smart.


    She thought, “Turner Group already owns 30<i>% </i>of Bree Technology. Whether I stay partnered with them or not, they’re not just going to let us crash and burn.


    ‘I can’t let the business rely too much on them. I won’t be in a position where they can shut things down. It’s time to branch out, bring in new partners, and figure out how to buy back the shares Bowen’s <b>still </b>holding.


    Besides Tengu Gruppe<b>, </b>Aubree also had her <b>eye </b>on Manchotech, a former coborator,
