Regarding Pedro's approach, although Selena understands the nature of entrepreneurs to seek profits, if this type of strategy is used with her own family, the feeling of having been calculated is truly infuriating.
In just two months, her products made Pedro a lot of money, but once he tasted the benefits, he was reluctant to let them go. There are countless customers who have used the blush and foundation made from Selena and ordered them several times, but now they have reached the point where they are no longer available for pre-order, which shows that, in Pedro's eyes, the Selena's products are his trump card.
He was forced to think about solutions for the future. The current financial situation of Joseph's family is good, but if Joseph becomes rich in the future, he may change his mind and no longer entrust the sale in his name, then his store will suffer a great loss. Therefore, without obtaining the formula of the product, he could only think of other ways, and then thought of purchasing the Flower Mountain secretly, so that he could leave a way out when they separated in the future.
"What can we do?" Maria began to feel nervous as she listened, she couldn't help but start to worry about the money she had counted the night before.
Two days ago, the family was very happy because they had a dozen silver coins saved, but now they discovered that this money was too little to use, it is not enough to pay for the Flower Mountain. They still don't have enough money. Apart from Peter, Joseph had no friends to whom he could lend money.
Mary's family was originally quite wealthy, but that year they were hit by a flood and ended up living in this place, her parents had already died, so she married Joseph. Not to mention the Carmen family, they wishe José had bad luck. The family sat for a while before Joseph got up and planned to go to the village chief's house to ask.
Maria ran down to the kitchen to prepare some snacks and gifts. She cannot go to the village chief's house empty-handed, especially during a New Year festival. José thoughtfully carried the basket and walked out the door.
Maria returned to the room with a lace weaving tool and sat at the table worried. Selena, who was sitting on the other side, didn't say anything, thinking about other things.
In fact, it is not difficult to buy the Mountain of Flowers, the problem is that the gold that Lucio left is of unknown origin and she does not know how to explain it to José and María. And she did not expect that the barren mountain that had been neglected some time ago would now become a hot commodity. After Pedro gets involved, I'm afraid it won't be easy to lower the price.
After a while, José returned frustrated with an empty basket, Selena's heart sank and she began to worry for the worst. She quickly got up, went to greet him, and asked him in a low voice, "Dad, what did the village chief say? Have they sold the mountain?"
"Not yet, it is the New Year festival and all the working notaries public have returned to their hometown. Even if the decision is made, it will take a few days to obtain the property title.
The village chief said that Florese Mountain is a great place, and Pedro is not local. He asked for 650 silver coins, which Pedro thought was too expensive, so they didn't come to an agreement yesterday. The village chief said that if people in our own village want to buy it, they can get a discount of 50 silver coins..."
"600 silver coins..."
Maria hurriedly found the box where the money was kept, and after rummaging through it, there were only about twenty silver coins and a little change. This amount of money is far from enough 650 silver coins, even if she adds her own newly built house, it may not be enough. What should they do?
Seeing the worried expressions on Joseph and Mary's faces, Selena thought for a moment and then said, "Dad, if you really want to buy the Flower Mountain, we actually have the money."
Seeing Joseph and Mary turn to look at her, Selena could only whisper about the 10 gold coins she accidentally collected at the entrance to a hunter's cave while she was picking flowers on Flower Mountain six months ago. She described the scene, including details of the money being buried under the tree and the torn bag containing the gold. Joseph and Mary were stunned.
"What did you say? Did you find 10 gold coins on the Flower Mountain?" Mary repeated in surprise, then looked back at José, without reacting for a moment.
Selena explained: "I was scared at the time too. I thought that's probably what the fur smugglers had lost."
"So I buried it under the tree. I also thought that if anyone came looking, I would tell them where they were, but then there were no strangers coming to our village, and I forgot about it. If we won't need money to buy Flower Mountain now, I'm afraid he wouldn't even occur to me..."
Joseph and Mary looked at each other thinking this was incredible. Her daughter is very lucky, she can find gold picking some flowers in the mountains, if someone says that she has found gold, they will never believe it.
The room was silent for a moment, and José and María looked at each other from time to time, a little incredible, if the couple had not known that their daughter only followed them on the mountain to pick flowers, or stayed at home and rarely she visited the neighbors' houses, having to doubt the authenticity of the matter.
After all, if someone tells that he collected gold on the mountain, they will treat it as a joke and only fools will throw the gold into the mountain. Furthermore, everyone in the village is so poor, they can't even pick up a copper coin, let alone gold.
After a while...
"Is it God's intention to let us buy the Flower Mountain, that's why Selena picked up so much gold..." Maria said.
"It seems that the Flower Mountain is clearly a treasure God gave us, specially designed to make our family rich from here," Jose said firmly, "otherwise Selena didn't find the recipe to make essential oils and gold... "
