The Bigshot Married Himself to the Heiress-Chapter 603 - 644: Doing Business with Sixth Master

"It’s a good idea. Our Eastminster Group has more than 15 directly operated pharmacies under its umbrella. If we sell the bird’s nests in our pharmacies, with our reputation and the quality of the bird’s nests, sales won’t be an issue."

Sienna Johnson excitedly said, "That’s what I was thinking, too, Grandma. But if we really want to do this, we need to make a detailed plan. Excluding factory construction and labor costs, just the logistics and customs import taxes would be a significant expense."

Pauline Briggs spoke from a customer’s perspective, "It’s a great idea. There are more and more fake products in the domestic market these days, and it’s hard to find such high-quality bird’s nests. If we could build a factory here and directly sell at the Eastminster Pharmaceutical Factory, that would be perfect. You don’t have to worry about losing money. As long as the bird’s nests are of good quality, there will still be many buyers."

It was rare for Madam Johnson to offer such constructive advice. Sienna smiled and praised, "It turns out Mom isn’t just about eating."

"You’re making fun of me again." Pauline glared at her.

The old lady also said, "Your mother is right. You can build one. It would be a shame not to make use of Swallow Island. When I arrived there, I could see that the amount of bird’s nests on the island wasn’t small."

It turned out that she wasn’t the only one with her eyes on Swallow Island.

"That’s what I think too." Sienna looked at Adrian Desmond, and saw him frowning, not saying a word.

They treated Swallow Island like a treasure, but Sixth Master didn’t care at all.

"Sienna, if you want to build a bird’s nest processing factory, I can help. I might not know much about other things, but I can ensure the quality of the bird’s nests."

Madam Johnson looked at her daughter-in-law, laughing and saying, "Yes, your mother has eaten a lot more bird’s nests growing up than this old lady."

Being pampered by the Briggs Family since she was young, Pauline had always enjoyed all the delicacies, even eating bird’s nests as if they were common rice.

"Mom, don’t worry. Once we have our own bird’s nest factory, I’ll make sure you can eat bird’s nests every day. We don’t always have to make bird’s nest soup. We can cook them as a dish."

The old lady chimed in, "With the way you eat, the factory would go bankrupt before it makes any money."

"Sienna, your grandmother is making fun of my appetite."

"Mom, don’t be too happy yet. Sixth Master of our family is so rich, he doesn’t even care about those bird’s nests."

Adrian Desmond, while feeding his daughter bird’s nest, looked over when he heard Sienna’s words. He saw her excited expression and knew she was still thinking about his island. His own businesses had high profit margins, so he didn’t particularly care for the bird’s nest trade. Besides, Unnamed Island was another secret base of his, and he didn’t want to expose its location.

Madam Johnson looked more satisfied with her grandson-in-law and said cheerfully, "He’s just worried about you. If Sienna builds a bird’s nest processing factory here, she’ll have to travel back and forth, which would undoubtedly be exhausting."

This sentence touched a nerve in Adrian.

Adrian glanced at the old lady, who was eating bird’s nest. Experience counts, he thought; one sentence had swayed him. He had always hoped that Sienna would stay in Abyanabad. Adrian had initially suggested building a medicinal material factory in Abyanabad, which Sienna refused. Now that Sienna wanted to build a bird’s nest processing factory, wasn’t it the same as his original intention? Sienna, being a career-driven woman, would never be content with just being a housewife and taking care of the children. If a bird’s nest processing factory were built in Abyanabad, with Sienna’s dedicated and persistent personality, and if he occasionally caused a little trouble for it, wouldn’t she have to travel to Abyanabad frequently?

Adrian chuckled to himself and instantly had a 180-degree change in attitude. "Yes, I think Grandma is right. It would be a waste not to use all those bird’s nests on Swallow Island. How about you build a bird’s nest processing factory? I have many connections in Abyanabad, so I can help you with the factory construction."

Sienna was stunned by Adrian’s sudden attitude change. She remembered he had been against her idea just moments before...

"You agree?"

"Agree! Why wouldn’t I?"

Curly raised his hand and chimed in, "I agree too!"

Sienna looked at her family and saw their support. She considered the potential profits of a bird’s nest processing factory and decided to build one on Unnamed Island.

「...」

It was past ten o’clock at night. Sienna would usually be asleep by this time, but today she was busy reviewing relevant information, conducting market analysis and feasibility reports, and deliberately ignored Adrian’s attempts to distract her.

Adrian sighed inwardly, feeling less important than bird’s saliva.

Adrian snatched the iPad from her hand and said firmly, "Do you know what time it is? It’s already past 10 o’clock. You need to rest."

Sienna rubbed her brow. Time had passed so quickly; she couldn’t believe it was already past 10 o’clock.

"There’s one more thing I’d like to discuss with you. You’ve said that you don’t want anyone else knowing the location of Unnamed Island, but the bird’s nests on Swallow Island need to be harvested manually. What about the workers?"

"What’s the problem? Why do you have to worry about it? I can just have my men harvest the nests."

As soon as Adrian agreed to let her build a bird’s nest factory, he had already considered this. With so many people under his command, dispatching a few hundred to harvest bird’s nests wouldn’t be difficult.

"Really? Can you really do that?" Sienna asked happily.

"Of course."

"Thank you." 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

"You’re my woman. No need for politeness."

Sienna and Adrian were married, but they remained financially independent. They rarely had monetary transactions, apart from occasional gifts. Adrian had also given Sienna a Black Gold Card, which she hadn’t used once.

"Since Swallow Island is your property and its products belong to you, I cannot offer much money to buy the bird’s nests on the island right now, as we don’t know how well the business will do yet. You’ve already provided labor, and you’ll likely need to help more with the factory construction later. How about this: we split the profits from the bird’s nest sales 60-40? You get sixty percent, and I get forty. Is that okay?"

Sienna Johnson’s approach was focused on business, with a win-win cooperation attitude. She wanted to allocate the benefits in advance to avoid any conflicts in the future.

"However, I will be the legal agent of the factory, and the branding and marketing of the bird’s nest will be handled by my team..."

The joy on Adrian’s face faded as he looked at the woman in front of him. Her expression reminded him of his business partners—a dynamic he detested in a marriage.

Deep down, Adrian Desmond believed women should be dependent on men, not trying to compete with them on equal footing, especially in the business world.
