Hence, she began discussing the project with Mandy as they headed "Due to heavier rainfall this year, the apples are smaller, resulting in none of our usual buyers willing to pay them. Hence, all the apples can't be sold. Since they can only be kept for ten more days before they start going bad, we have to sell them as soon as possible," Mandy explained They had barely sat down in the car when thunder crashed outside the windows. It looked like was about to rain.

Mandy eyed the dark skies in trepidation. "Grace, we still have to go to the orchard today.

Those apples hadn't been harvested yet, so if it were to rain heavily tonight, their shelt he would only shorten. Seeing as the usual Vendon't willing to buy the small apples, their only option was to sell the truts online.

"Mandy, arrange for sodne live streaming equipment to be sent over. I remember one of Henderson Group's subsidiary companies recently tapped into the live-streaming market.

How much are they willing to accept When Grace heard the reply, she was shocked "One dollar per pound?" In past years, the average price was usually around 15 dollars per pound. However, the apples were just too small this year, hence the price reduction.

Grace tapped her fingers idly. Then she said, "How about I set the price at right dollars for five pounds first!" There was silence on the other end for a few seconds before the man replied, "Ms. Lambert, I don't think you'll be able to sell them at that price." "Let's give it a try first. That way, if anyone ends up buying, the farmers will at least earn a profit" "Alright, thank you."
